技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种测量配置方法及设备。
背景技术
在通信系统中，为了保证终端设备的业务连续性和通信质量，终端设备通常需要进行小区测量，从而实现小区重选(reselection)和小区切换(handover)。其中小区测量的种类包括同频测量、异频/异系统测量。
当终端设备初始接入或在无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)连接态(RRC_connective)的过程中进行异频/异系统测量，终端设备一般需要采用gap测量的测量方式进行小区测量，具体过程包括：在gap内终端设备接收邻小区的参考信号，并对邻小区的参考信号进行测量。在测量完成后终端设备向管理服务小区的基站发送测量报告(measurement report)。然后基站再根据测量报告将终端设备切换到信号质量更好的小区上。
目前，终端设备在进行小区测量之前，需要由管理服务小区的基站进行测量配置，并将测量配置信息发送给终端设备。终端设备可以接收到的测量配置信息，确定每个gap的位置，以进行邻小区测量。通常gap长度为6毫秒(ms)。其中，测量配置信息中包含：测量gap重复周期(measurement gap repetition period，MGRP)(又称为gap周期)、测量gap长度(measurement gap length，MGL)(简称为gap长度)，和测量gap的偏移量(gap offset)。可选的，所述测量配置信息中还可以包括测量报告的上报策略、以及待测量邻小区列表等信息。
为了提高小区测量效率，在gap内终端设备应该能够接收到所有待测量邻小区的参考信号。然而，gap的位置为终端设备根据服务小区的定时确定的，而每个邻小区发送参考信号的时域位置是根据相应的邻小区的定时确定的。因此，终端设备根据测量配置信息确定的gap可能不包含某些待测量邻小区的参考信号的时域位置，导致终端设备无法接收到这些待测量邻小区的参考信号，进而无法完成对所有待测量小区的测量。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种测量配置方法及设备，用以在终端设备进行小区测量过程中，提高测量gap覆盖所有待测量邻小区的参考信号的概率，提高终端设备小区测量的成功率和效率。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供了一种测量配置方法，该方法可以应用于图2所示的通信系统中需要通过gap测量方式进行异频/异系统测量的各种场景中。该方法包括：基站向 终端设备发送第一测量配置信息，其中，所述第一测量配置信息用于通知在gap周期内包含M i个用于所述终端设备进行小区测量使用的gap，M i为大于1的整数。
通过该方法，基站在确定终端设备小区测量失败后，通知终端设备后续在同一个gap周期内使用多个gap进行小区测量。这样，在后续小区测量过程中，终端设备在一个gap周期的多个gap内接收到待测量邻小区的参考信号的概率可以提高，因此，该方法可以提高所述终端设备小区测量的成功率和效率。
在一种可能的设计中，所述第一测量配置信息中包含所述M i个gap中每个gap的偏移量；或者所述第一测量配置信息中包含所述M i个gap中首个gap的偏移量f i,a。通过该设计，所述终端设备可以根据所述第一测量配置信息中的gap的偏移量，准确地确定所述M i个gap的位置。

通过该设计，由于所述M i个gap可以覆盖所有待测量邻小区的参考信号时域位置，且在一个gap周期内所述终端设备可以持续通过所述M i个gap连续进行小区测量。因此，该方式可以保证所述终端设备在gap周期内接收到所有待测量邻小区的参考信号，从而保证所述终端设备可以尽快成功完成小区测量。
在一种可能的设计中，所述M i符合公式：

由于所述终端设备在上一次的gap位置已经进行了小区测量，且小区测量失败(未得到全部待测量邻小区的测量结果)，因此，将该gap位置剔除，所述终端设备依然可以在下一次小区测量过程中，在一个gap周期内的所述M i个gap内接收其他待测量邻小区的参考信号，从而得到其他待测量小区的测量结果。通过该设计，所述终端设备和所述基站可以结合上一次小区测量得到的测量结果以及本次小区测量得到的测量结果，得到所有待测量邻小区的测量结果，从而保证所述终端设备可以尽快成功完成小区测量，最终可以提高所述终端设备的小区测量效率和成功率。
在一种可能的设计中，所述M i也可以符合公式：M i＝k*M i-1，其中，k为大于2的整数，M i-1为所述基站上一次为所述终端设备配置的gap周期包含的gap数量。
通过该设计，所述基站可以成倍的增加gap的数量。其中，倍数k可以实际场景对小区测量效率和成功率的要求，和/或，对终端设备的吞吐率的要求综合考量设置。例如，为了尽量减少小区测量对终端设备吞吐率的影响，k的取值可以设置为2。
在一种可能的设计中，所述M i个gap中相邻两个gap的偏移量差值等于或大于L-x，L为所述基站为所述终端设备配置的gap长度，x为小于L的正数。示例性的，为了避免时间抖动，x可以设置为1ms。
在一种可能的设计中，为了加快所述终端设备的测量报告的上报时间，以使所述基站可以尽快为终端设备进行小区切换或添加SCG，所述第一测量配置信息还可以用于通知测 量报告的上报策略为周期触发，或者为在周期触发或事件触发中优选到达时间在先的上报策略。
在一种可能的设计中，所述基站向所述终端设备发送所述第一测量配置信息之后，还包括：所述基站向所述终端设备发送第二测量配置信息；
其中，所述第二测量配置信息用于通知：所述终端设备停止进行小区测量；或者所述第二测量配置信息用于通知以下至少一项：

具体实施方式
本申请提供一种测量配置方法及设备，用以在终端设备进行小区测量过程中，提高测量gap覆盖所有待测量邻小区的参考信号的概率，提高终端设备小区测量的效率。其中，方法和设备是基于同一技术构思的，由于方法及设备解决问题的原理相似，因此设备与方法的实施可以相互参见，重复之处不再赘述。
以下，对本申请中的部分用语进行解释说明，以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)、终端设备，是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。终端设备又可以称为用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal，MT)等。
例如，终端设备可以为具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前，一些终端设备的举例为：手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device，MID)、可穿戴设备，虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无 人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等。
2)、基站，是通信系统中将终端设备接入到无线网络的设备。所述基站作为无线接入网中的节点，又可以称为网络设备，还可以称为无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)节点(或设备)。
目前，一些基站的举例为：gNB、演进型节点B(evolved Node B，eNB)、传输接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller，RNC)、节点B(Node B，NB)、基站控制器(base station controller，BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如，home evolved NodeB，或home Node B，HNB)，或基带单元(base band unit，BBU)等。
另外，在一种网络结构中，所述基站可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点。这种结构将长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统中eNB的协议层拆分开，部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制，剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中，由CU集中控制DU。
3)、测量配置信息，为基站发送给终端设备的，用于使终端设备根据测量配置信息，进行小区测量。通常，基站可以通过RRC信令发送所述测量配置信息。其中，测量配置信息中可以但不限于包含以下至少一项测量参数：测量对象、待测量邻小区列表，或gap配置参数(gap周期、gap长度、gap的起始位置)。
在本申请实施例中，当基站向终端设备发送一次测量配置信息后，基站还可以通过再次发送测量配置信息，以指示基站对以上至少一项测量参数的取值进行调整。这样，基站可以灵活地对测量参数的重新配置。
其中，基站通过测量配置信息指示基站对任一项测量参数的取值进行调整，可以但不限于包括以下形式：
所述测量配置信息中包含该测量参数调整后的取值。
所述测量配置信息中包含该测量参数的调整值，所述调整值可以为该测量参数的调整后的取值与调整前的取值之间的差值。
所述测量配置信息中包含测量参数的调整指示。终端设备可以根据所述测量参数的调整指示，按照与基站约定的方式，确定该测量参数调整后的取值。
4)、测量报告，由终端设备进行小区测量后得到并上报给基站。
在终端设备在gap内接收到至少一个待测量邻小区的参考信号的情况下，测量报告中可以包含终端设备对所述至少一个待测量邻小区的测量结果(所述至少一个待测量邻小区的测量结果为实际测量值)，或者包含所有测量邻小区的测量结果(其中，终端设备未接收参考信号的待测量邻小区的测量结果为空或零)。
在终端设备在gap内未接收到待测量邻小区的参考信号的情况下，所述终端设备可以不上报测量报告，或者上报的测量报告为空，或者上报的测量报告中每个待测量邻小区的测量结果为空或零。
示例性的，每个待测量邻小区的测量结果可以为该待测量邻小区的信号质量参数。可选的，信号质量参数可以包含以下参数中的一项或多项：
参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)、信干噪比(signal to  interference plus noise ratio，SINR)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indication，RSSI)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality，RSRQ)。
5)、“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
需要说明的是，本申请中所涉及的多个，是指两个或两个以上。
另外，需要理解的是，在本申请的描述中，“第一”、“第二”等词汇，仅用于区分描述的目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性，也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
下面先对传统的gap测量方式进行描述。
小区测量的种类包括：同频测量、异频/异系统测量。其中，同频测量是指待测量的邻小区与终端设备的服务小区在同一个载波频点中。异频/系统测量是指待测量的邻小区与终端设备的服务小区不在同一个载波频点上。
通常终端设备通过射频通路实现信号的接收和发送，而一套射频通路一般工作在一个载波频点上。
终端设备初始接入或RRC连接态的过程中，在终端设备内部设置有多套射频通路的情况下，终端设备可以使用其中一套射频通路调整到服务小区的载波频点上，以接收服务小区的信号和向服务小区发送信号，同时终端设备还可以将其他射频通路调整到邻小区的载波频点上，以接收邻小区的参考信号。这样，终端设备可以在不暂停业务传输的情况下，进行小区测量。
然而，在终端设备内部仅设置一套射频通路的情况下，参阅图1A所示，终端设备不能同时进行业务传输和小区测量，因为终端设备需要将射频通路调整到服务小区的载波频点上，以接收服务小区的信号和向服务小区发送信号；在gap内，终端设备停止与服务小区的交互，并将该射频通路调整到邻小区的载波频点上，以接收邻小区的参考信号。
基站通过向终端设备发送测量配置信息，以对终端设备进行gap测量进行配置。在测量配置信息中的gap配置参数中，gap周期(即MGRP)的取值可以为40ms、80ms等；gap长度(MGL)的取值最大为6ms；gap的偏移量(gapoffset)的取值范围可以是0-39，或者是0-79等。终端设备可以根据以上gap配置参数，计算gap的时域位置，如图1B所示。具体的，所述终端设备可以参考以下公式计算gap的时域位置：
T＝MGRP/10；
SFN mod T＝FLOOR(gapoffset/10)；
subframe＝gapoffset mod 10；
其中，SFN为终端设备的服务小区的系统帧号，subframe为在该SFN的系统帧中的子帧。
为了保证终端设备的小区测量效率，提高终端设备的小区测量的成功率，在基站为终端设备配置的gap内终端设备应该能够接收到所有待测量邻小区的参考信号，这样所述终端设备可以实现对所有待测量邻小区的测量。
然而，gap的时域位置为终端设备根据服务小区的定时确定的，而每个邻小区的参考信号的时域位置是根据相应的邻小区的定时确定的。
例如，第四代(The 4 th Generation，4G)通信技术中的长期演进(long term evolution， LTE)小区的参考信号——小区参考信号(cell reference signal，CRS)是均匀分布在每个子帧上的。
又例如，参阅图1C，第五代(The 5 th Generation，5G)通信技术中的新空口(new radio，NR)小区的参考信号——同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)是按照周期发送的，且在一个周期内可以有多个SSB被发送，但是所述多个SSB都集中在该周期内的某个时间窗口内形成一个SSB burst。其中，SSB周期可以为5ms、10ms、20ms，40ms、80ms，或160ms等，且不同NR小区的SSB周期也可以不同。示例性的，假设SSB周期为20ms，SSB burst可以集中在第一个或第二个5ms被发送。
因此，终端设备根据服务小区的定时，和接收的测量配置信息确定的gap的时域位置可能不包含某些待测量邻小区的参考信号的时域位置。假设gap周期为40ms，邻小区的SSB周期为20ms，如图1D中所示，那么终端设备在每个gap周期的gap内可能仅能够接收到邻小区a的参考信号，而不能接收到邻小区b的参考信号。显然，这就会导致终端设备在固定位置的gap内无法接收到所有待测量邻小区的参考信号，从而无法完成对所有待测量小区的测量，进而导致终端设备的小区测量持续失败。
为了解决上述问题，本申请提供了一种测量配置方法及设备。在本申请实施例提供的方案中，基站可以通知终端设备后续在同一个gap周期内使用多个gap进行小区测量。这样，在后续小区测量过程中，终端设备在一个gap周期的多个gap内接收到待测量邻小区的参考信号的概率可以提高，因此，该方法可以提高所述终端设备小区测量的成功率和效率。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例进行具体说明。
图2示出了本申请实施例提供的测量配置方法适用的一种可能的通信系统的架构。参阅图2所示，在该通信系统中包括：基站201(如图中的基站201a、基站201b、基站201c、)，以及终端设备202。
所述基站201，负责为所述终端设备202提供无线接入有关的服务，实现无线物理层功能、资源调度和无线资源管理、服务质量(Quality of Service，QoS)管理、无线接入控制以及移动性管理(例如小区的重选和切换)功能。
每个基站201负责管理至少一个小区。如图所示，基站201a负责管理小区A，基站201b负责管理小区B，基站201c负责管理小区C和小区D。
在该通信系统中，每个小区均使用相应的载波频点为终端设备提供接入服务。需要说明的是，不同小区使用的频点可能相同，也可能不相同。另外，本申请不限定每个小区使用的通信技术，且不同的小区使用的通信技术可以相同，也可以不同。示例性的，小区A、小区B、小区C和小区D均为使用4G通信技术的LTE小区；或者小区A、小区B、小区C和小区D均为使用5G通信技术的NR小区；或者小区A、小区B、小区C和小区D中部分小区为LTE小区，部分小区为NR小区。
所述终端设备202，为通过所述基站201管理的小区接入网络的设备。
所述基站201和所述终端设备202之间通过Uu接口连接，从而实现所述终端设备202和所述基站201之间的通信。
另外，图2所示的架构可以应用到多种通信场景中，例如，第五代(The 5th Generation，5G)通信系统、未来的第六代通信系统和演进的其他通信系统、长期演进(Long Term  Evolution，LTE)通信系统、车到万物(vehicle to everything，V2X)、长期演进-车联网(LTE-vehicle，LTE-V)、车到车(vehicle to vehicle，V2V)、车联网、机器类通信(Machine Type Communications，MTC)、物联网(internet of things，IoT)、长期演进-机器到机器(LTE-machine to machine，LTE-M)、机器到机器(machine to machine，M2M)等通信场景中。
本申请实施例提供的测量配置方法适用于如图2所示的通信系统中需要通过gap测量方式进行异频/异系统测量的各种场景中，例如，4G通信技术中的LTE测量场景，以及5G通信技术中的支持双连接(Dual Connectivity，DC)技术的以下场景：EN-DC(EUTRA-NR Dual Connectivity)场景、NE-DC(NR-EUTRA Dual Connectivity)，NR-DC，以及非DC场景，5G通信技术中的SA场景和NSA场景。
假设终端设备202接入基站201a管理的小区A(小区A为服务小区)，小区B、小区C和小区D为所述基站201a为终端设备202确定的邻小区。
例如，在LTE测量场景和非DC场景中，基站201a向终端设备202发送测量配置信息，其中测量配置信息中包含gap配置参数和待测量邻小区列表(包含小区B、小区C和小区D)；终端设备202根据测量配置信息确定gap的时域位置，并在gap内进行小区测量，测量完成后向基站201a上报测量报告；基站201a根据测量报告中的各个小区的信号质量参数，将终端设备切换到信号质量更好的小区上。
又例如，在各个支持双连接技术的场景中，小区A为终端设备202的主小区(primary cell，PCell)，基站201a为终端设备202的主基站。基站201a向终端设备202发送测量配置信息，其中测量配置信息中包含gap配置参数和待测量邻小区列表(包含小区B、小区C和小区D)；终端设备202根据测量配置信息确定gap的时域位置，并在gap内进行小区测量，测量完成后向基站201a上报测量报告；基站201a根据测量报告中的各个小区的信号质量参数，为终端设备202配置辅小区(secondary cell，SCell)，从而实现为终端设备202添加辅小区组(secondary cell group，SCG)。
为了提高终端设备小区测量的成功率和效率，本申请实施例提供了一种测量配置方法。其中，该方法可以应用于图2所示的通信系统中需要通过gap测量方式进行异频/异系统测量的各种场景中。通过该方案，基站可以通知终端设备后续在同一个gap周期内使用多个gap进行小区测量。这样，在后续小区测量过程中，终端设备在一个gap周期的多个gap内接收到所有待测量邻小区的参考信号的概率可以提高，因此，该方法可以提高所述终端设备小区测量的成功率和效率。
下面结合图3所示的流程图，对本申请实施例提供的测量配置方法进行说明。需要说明的是，图3所示的方法流程图并不对本申请提供的测量配置方法构成限定，本申请提供的测量配置方法可以包含比图3所示的方法更多或更少的步骤。
S301：基站向终端设备发送第一测量配置信息，其中所述第一测量配置信息中用于配置所述终端设备进行小区测量时使用的gap。所述终端设备从所述基站接收所述第一测量配置信息。
示例性的，所述第一测量配置信息可以为传统的测量配置信息，其中可以包含gap配置参数(gap周期、gap长度和gap的偏移量)，还可以包含待测量邻小区列表、测量报告 的上报策略等信息。例如，所述第一测量配置信息可以为测量间隙配置(measGapConfig)信令或测量配置(measConfig)信令。
其中，基站通过第一测量配置信息为终端设备配置的gap的长度可以但不限于为LTE通信技术规定的gap长度6ms。在本申请实施例以下描述和实例中，仅以L＝6为例进行说明。
S302：所述终端设备根据所述第一测量配置信息，确定本次小区测量使用的gap的位置(其中，该gap周期内的gap数量为1个，即M 0＝1)，如图1B所示，并在确定的gap内进行小区测量。其中gap长度为L，gap周期为S1，gap的偏移量为f 0。
在本申请实施例中，所述终端设备在gap内进行小区测量，包括：所述终端设备在该gap内接收待测量邻小区的参考信号，并确定待测量邻小区的测量结果。
需要说明的是，在该gap内可能无法覆盖所有待测量邻小区的参考信号时域位置，例如图1D所示，因此，在该gap内所述终端设备可能只接收到部分待测量小区的参考信号，或者未接收到所有待测量小区的参考信号，此时所述终端设备小区测量失败。
在所述终端设备小区测量失败的情况下，所述终端设备可以但不限于通过以下方式通知所述基站：
方式一：所述终端设备可以根据测量报告的上报策略，或者按照协议或与基站之间的约定，不向所述基站发送测量报告。
方式二：所述终端设备可以向所述基站发送携带部分待测量邻小区的测量结果的测量报告。
方式三：所述终端设备可以向所述基站发送携带全部待测量邻小区的测量结果的测量报告，且在该测量报告中所述终端设备未测量的待测量邻小区的测量结果无效。示例性的，所述终端设备未测量的待测量小区的测量结果可以为空、为零，或为用于指示测量结果为无效的指示符。
方式四：所述终端设备可以向终端设备发送通知消息，所述通知消息用于通知所述基站：所述终端设备小区测量失败。
S303：当所述终端设备采用以上方式二或方式三通知所述基站小区测量失败时，所述终端设备向所述基站发送第一测量报告。所述基站从所述终端设备接收所述第一测量报告。如图所示，此步骤为可选步骤。
其中，当所述终端设备采用上述方式二时，所述第一测量报告中包含部分待测量邻小区的测量结果；当所述终端设备采用上述方式三时，所述第一测量报告中包含全部待测量小区的测量结果，且只有所述终端设备测量到的待测量邻小区的测量结果是有效的。
S304：所述基站确定所述终端设备小区测量失败。
与上述S302中所述终端设备通知所述基站小区测量失败的方式相对应的，所述基站也可以通过以下方式，确定所述终端设备小区测量失败：
方式一：所述基站在设定时长内未从所述终端设备接收到测量报告，确定所述终端设备小区测量失败。
方式二：所述基站从所述终端设备接收第一测量报告，当所述基站确定所述第一测量报告中未包含全部待测量小区的测量结果时，确定所述终端设备小区测量失败。
方式三：所述基站从所述终端设备接收第一测量报告，当所述基站确定所述第一测量报告中存在部分待测量小区的测量结果无效时，确定所述终端设备小区测量失败。
方式四：所述基站从所述终端设备接收所述通知消息时，确定所述终端设备小区测量失败。
S304a：所述基站对终端设备后续在gap周期内进行小区测量时使用的gap数量进行增加，确定在gap周期内包含M i个用于所述终端设备进行后续小区测量时使用的gap，M i为大于1的整数。
可选的，在本申请实施例中，所述基站可以但不限于通过以下方式，增加gap周期内的gap数量，即确定M 1。其中，i为gap数量的调整次数，首次调整时，i＝1。
方式一：M i符合公式：
Figure PCTCN2020125997-appb-000005
T1为待测量邻小区的参考信号发送周期。在gap数量首次调整的场景中，
Figure PCTCN2020125997-appb-000006
其中，r为小于或等于L的正数，L为所述基站为所述终端设备配置的gap长度。
为了提高所述终端设备的小区测量效率和成功率，所述M i个gap中相邻两个gap的偏移量差值可以小于或等于gap的长度L，L可以为6ms，为了避免时延抖动对小区测量产生影响r可以设置为5ms。由于在gap周期内所述终端设备可以持续通过所述M i个gap连续进行小区测量，因此，该方式可以保证所述终端设备在gap周期内接收到所有待测量邻小区的参考信号，从而保证所述终端设备可以尽快成功完成小区测量。
另外，由于通过方式一，所述M i个gap可以覆盖所有待测量邻小区的参考信号时域位置，因此，所述基站可以沿用上一次配置的gap的偏移量f 0，或者重新设置新的gap的偏移量。
其中，当M i个gap中每相邻两个gap的偏移量之间的偏移量均为固定值或所述基站已配置时，所述基站可以仅配置所述M i个gap中首个gap的偏移量f i,a；或者所述基站重新配置所述M i个gap中每个gap的偏移量。
方式二：所述基站可以将在gap周期内上一次小区测量失败使用的gap位置进行剔除。M i符合公式：
Figure PCTCN2020125997-appb-000007
且所述M i个gap中首个gap的偏移量f i,a可以符合公式：f i,a＝f i-1,b+r。其中，T1为待测量邻小区的参考信号发送周期，M i-1为所述基站上一次为所述终端设备配置的gap周期包含的gap数量，f i-1,b为所述基站上一次为所述终端设备配置的gap周期内的最后一个gap的偏移量。
在gap数量首次调整的场景中，
Figure PCTCN2020125997-appb-000008
且f 1,a＝f 0+r。
与方式一类似的，由于所述终端设备在上一次的gap位置已经进行了小区测量，且小区测量失败(未得到全部待测量邻小区的测量结果)，因此，将该gap位置剔除，所述终端设备依然可以在下一次小区测量过程中，在一个gap周期内的所述M i个gap内接收其他待测量邻小区的参考信号，从而得到其他待测量小区的测量结果。
其中，当M i个gap中每相邻两个gap的偏移量之间的偏移量均为固定值或所述基站已配置时，所述基站可以仅配置所述M i个gap中首个gap的偏移量f i,a；或者所述基站重新配置所述M i个gap中每个gap的偏移量。
显然，通过方式二，所述终端设备和所述基站可以结合上一次小区测量得到的测量结果以及本次小区测量得到的测量结果，得到所有待测量邻小区的测量结果，从而保证所述终端设备可以尽快成功完成小区测量，最终可以提高所述终端设备的小区测量效率和成功率。
方式三：M i＝k*M i-1，其中，k为大于2的整数，M i-1为所述基站上一次为所述终端设备配置的gap周期包含的gap数量。
在方式三中，所述基站可以成倍的增加gap的数量。其中，倍数k可以实际场景对小区测量效率和成功率的要求，和/或，对终端设备的吞吐率的要求综合考量设置。例如，为了尽量减少小区测量对终端设备吞吐率的影响，k的取值可以设置为2。
其中，当M i个gap中每相邻两个gap的偏移量之间的偏移量均为固定值或所述基站已配置时，所述基站可以仅配置所述M i个gap中首个gap的偏移量f i,a；或者所述基站重新配置所述M i个gap中每个gap的偏移量。在gap数量首次调整的场景中，f 1,a＝f 0，或者f 1,a＝f 0+r(即将在gap周期内上一次小区测量失败使用的gap位置进行剔除)。
另外，为了加快所述终端设备的测量报告的上报时间，以使所述基站可以尽快为终端设备进行小区切换或添加SCG，所述基站还可以进一步调整测量报告的上报策略为：周期触发，或者为在周期触发或事件触发中优选到达时间在先的上报策略。
S305：所述基站向所述终端设备发送第二测量配置信息。其中，所述第二测量配置信息用于通知在gap周期内包含M 1个用于所述终端设备进行小区测量使用的gap。所述终端设备从所述基站接收所述第二测量配置信息。
通过以上描述可知，所述第二测量配置信息中可以包含：所述M i个gap中每个gap的偏移量。或者，所述第二测量配置信息中可以包含所述M i个gap中首个gap的偏移量f i,a，当然还可以包含每相邻两个gap的偏移量差值。此外，所述第二测量配置信息中还可以包含所述基站配置的gap数量M i等其他信息。
在所述基站在S304a中还确定调整测量报告的上报策略时，相应的，所述第二测量配置信息还用于通知测量报告的上报策略为周期触发，或者为在周期触发或事件触发中优选到达时间在先的上报策略。
可选的，所述第二测量配置信息可以为多个信息，例如，所述第二测量配置信息可以但不限于包含：包含gap配置信息的信令1，和配置测量结果的上报策略的信令2。当然信令1中可以包含保持gap长度和gap周期不变的指示，或包含所述基站上一次为其配置的gap长度L和gap周期S1，还可以包含所述M i个gap中首个gap的偏移量或每个gap的偏移量，或相邻两个gap之间的偏移量差值等偏移量配置信息。
S306：所述终端设备根据所述第二测量配置信息，在gap周期内确定下一次小区测量使用的所述M i个gap的位置，并在每个gap内进行小区测量。
在本步骤中，所述终端设备可以根据所述基站配置的gap长度和gap周期，以及所述第二测量配置信息中包含的内容(gap的数量、首个gap的偏移量或每个gap的偏移量，或相邻两个gap之间的偏移量差值等偏移量配置信息)，确定所述M i个gap的位置。
在本步骤中，所述终端设备在每个gap内进行小区测量的过程与S302相同，因此所述终端设备进行小区测量的过程可以参见以上对S302的描述，此处不再赘述。
另外，由于各种原因，在每个gap进行小区测量后，所述终端设备的小区测量可能成功，也可能会失败。当所述终端设备小区测量成功(通过首次小区测量直至本次小区测量，得到了所有待测量小区的测量结果)时，所述终端设备可以在该次小区测量后通过S307向所述基站发送第二测量报告；当所述终端设备小区测量失败时，所述终端设备同样还可以通过S302中描述的4中方式通知所述基站本次小区测量失败。
其中，需要说明的是，在所述终端设备每次小区测量后均向基站发送测量报告的情况下，所述终端设备每次发送的测量报告中可以仅包含该次测量到的待测量邻小区的测量结果，也可以包含所述终端设备在本次以及在之前每次测量到的待测量邻小区的测量结果， 本申请对此不作限定。当所述终端设备在小区测量失败后不向所述基站发送测量报告的情况下，所述终端设备在确定小区测量成功时，向所述基站发送的测量报告中包含所述终端设备在本次以及在之前每次测量到的所有待测量邻小区的测量结果。
S307：所述终端设备向所述基站发送第二测量报告。所述基站从所述终端设备接收所述第二测量报告。如图所示，此步骤为可选的步骤。
当所述第二测量配置信息还用于指示测量报告的上报策略时，所述终端设备按照所述该上报策略上报所述第二测量报告。
S308：所述基站根据所述第二测量报告确定所述终端设备小区测量成功。
可选的，所述基站还可以同S304中的方式，确定所述终端设备本次小区测量失败，然后，所述基站还可以通过再次增加gap数量的方式(具体过程可以参考S304a-S308)，或者采用调整所述M i个gap的偏移量的方式，对所述终端设备使用的gap进行配置，直至所述终端设备小区测量成功。
S309：所述基站可以在S305之后，或者S308确定所述终端设备小区测量成功之后，向所述终端设备发送第三测量配置信息。所述终端设备所述基站接收所述第三测量配置信息。
在一种实施方式中，所述第三测量配置信息用于指示：所述终端设备停止进行小区测量。可选的，所述第三测量配置信息可以具体指示所述终端设备在设定时间段内停止进行小区测量；或者所述终端设备在接收到所述第三测量配置信息后，在设定时间段内停止进行小区测量。
在另一种实施方式中，所述第三测量配置信息可以但不限于用于指示以下至少一项：
在gap周期内包含的用于所述终端设备进行小区测量使用的gap数量恢复为1个；
所述终端设备进行小区测量时使用的gap周期取值从S1调整为S2，其中S2>S1。示例性的，所述S2符合公式：S2＝b*S1，其中，b为大于2的整数。
通过以上描述可知，由于S306中所述终端设备在一个gap周期内连续通过M i个gap进行小区测量，虽然所述终端设备通过S306进行小区测量的成功率较高，但是这会对所述终端设备的业务吞吐率有所影响。综上，通过以上任一种实施方式，可以保证或提高所述终端设备后续的业务吞吐率。
S310：在所述第三测量配置信息为上述第一种实施方式情况下，所述终端设备不再进行小区测量。在所述第三测量配置信息为上述第二种实施方式的情况下，所述终端设备再次根据所述第三测量配置信息指示的gap数量和/或gap周期，确定再下一次小区测量使用的gap的位置，并在确定的gap内进行小区测量。
在本步骤中，所述终端设备在确定的gap内进行小区测量的过程与S302相同，因此所述终端设备进行小区测量的过程可以参见以上对S302的描述，此处不再赘述。
当然，当所述终端设备进行小区测量后，还可以通知所述基站所述终端设备对待测量邻小区的测量结果。
还需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，所述基站向所述终端设备发送各个测量配置信息，以及所述终端设备向所述基站发送测量报告或通知消息，都可以通过RRC信令实现，本申请对此不作限定。
本申请实施例提供的测量配置方法中，基站在确定终端设备小区测量失败后，通知终端设备后续在同一个gap周期内使用多个gap进行小区测量。这样，在后续小区测量过程 中，终端设备在一个gap周期的多个gap内接收到待测量邻小区的参考信号的概率可以提高，因此，该方法可以提高所述终端设备小区测量的成功率和效率。
基于图3所示的实施例，本申请还提供了一种gap数量的调整方法实例。参阅图4A所示。所述基站在确定终端设备的小区测量失败后，可以配置在一个gap周期gap的数量变为
Figure PCTCN2020125997-appb-000009
为了预防时间抖动，以及尽量提高所述终端设备的业务吞吐率，相邻两个gap之间的偏移量差值为L-x，即相邻两个gap之间存在长度为x的重叠部分。
如图4A所示，假设基站为终端设备首次配置的gap配置为gap的偏移量＝0ms，gap周期为40ms，gap长度＝6ms；所述基站为所述终端设备配置的待测量邻小区为4个，且每个待测量邻小区的参考信号的发送周期均为20ms。基站可以将一个gap周期的gap数量调整为4个，且首个gap的偏移量与上一次为终端设备配置的gap偏移量相同。
这样，所述终端设备可以在gap1内接收到待测量邻小区1的参考信号，……，在gap4内接收到待测量邻小区4的参考信号，最终所述终端设备可以通过4次小区测量，测量到所有待测量邻小区的测量结果，从而尽快实现小区测量成功。该实例可以提高所述终端设备的小区测量的效率和成功率。
基于图3所示的实施例，本申请还提供了另一种gap数量的调整方法实例。参阅图4B所示。所述基站在确定终端设备的小区测量失败后，可以配置在一个gap周期gap的数量变为
Figure PCTCN2020125997-appb-000010
为了保证终端设备的吞吐率，所述基站将上一次终端设备小区测量使用的gap位置进行剔除。另外，为了预防时间抖动，以及尽量提高所述终端设备的业务吞吐率，相邻两个gap之间的偏移量差值为L-x，即相邻两个gap之间存在长度为x的重叠部分。
如图4B所示，假设基站为终端设备首次配置的gap配置为gap的偏移量＝0ms，gap周期为40ms，gap长度＝6ms；所述基站为所述终端设备配置的待测量邻小区为4个，且每个待测量邻小区的参考信号的发送周期均为20ms。基站可以将一个gap周期的gap数量调整为3个，且首个gap的偏移量与上一次为终端设备配置的gap偏移量相比，增加5ms。
这样，所述终端设备可以在gap1内接收到待测量邻小区2的参考信号，……，在gap3内接收到待测量邻小区4的参考信号，最终所述终端设备可以通过3次小区测量，测量到待测量邻小区2-4的测量结果，结合之前测量到的待测量邻小区1的测量结果，所述终端设备实现了小区测量成功。该实例也可以提高所述终端设备的小区测量的效率和成功率，同时也可以降低小区测量对终端设备的吞吐率的影响。
基于图3所示的实施例，本申请还提供了又一种gap数量的调整方法实例。参阅图4C和图4D所示。所述基站在确定终端设备的小区测量失败后，可以配置在一个gap周期gap的数量变为原来的2倍。为了保证终端设备的吞吐率，所述基站可以将上一次终端设备小区测量使用的gap位置进行剔除。
另外，为了预防时间抖动，以及尽量提高所述终端设备的业务吞吐率，相邻两个gap之间的偏移量差值为L-x，即相邻两个gap之间存在长度为x的重叠部分，如图4C中所示。
所述基站还可以将gap的位置分散，以覆盖尽可能多的待测量邻小区的参考信号时域位置(即相邻两个gap之间的偏移量差值大于6ms)，如图4D所示。
假设基站为终端设备首次配置的gap配置为gap的偏移量＝0ms，gap周期为40ms，gap长度＝6ms；所述基站为所述终端设备配置的待测量邻小区为4个，且每个待测量邻小区的参考信号的发送周期均为20ms。
如图4C所示，所述基站确定所述终端设备小区测量失败后，将一个gap周期内的gap数量设置为2个，且这两个gap之间的偏移量差值为5ms。这样，所述终端设备可以在gap1内接收到待测量邻小区2的参考信号，在gap2内接收到待测量邻小区3的参考信号。虽然所述终端设备依然小区测量失败，但是终端设备可以通过这两次小区测量，获得两个待测量邻小区的测量结果。只要所述终端设备在通过后续的小区测量，得到待测量邻小区4的测量结果之后，结合之前测量到的待测量邻小区1-3的测量结果，所述终端设备即可实现小区测量成功。该实施例也可以提高所述终端设备的小区测量的效率和成功率，同时也可以降低小区测量对终端设备的吞吐率的影响。
如图4D所示，所述基站确定所述终端设备小区测量失败后，将一个gap周期内的gap数量设置为2个，且这两个gap之间的偏移量差值为8ms。这样，所述终端设备可以在gap1内接收到待测量邻小区2的参考信号，在gap2内接收到待测量邻小区3和待测量邻小区4的参考信号。最终所述终端设备可以通过这两次小区测量，测量到待测量邻小区2-4的测量结果，结合之前测量到的待测量邻小区1的测量结果，所述终端设备实现了小区测量成功。该实例也可以提高所述终端设备的小区测量的效率和成功率，同时也可以降低小区测量对终端设备的吞吐率的影响。
需要说明的是，当所述基站采用如图4C或图4D所示的实例，对gap周期内的gap数量加倍后，所述终端设备依然测量失败，后续所述基站可以继续对gap周期内的gap数量进行加倍，使gap周期内的gap数量变为4个、8个、16个等，直至所述终端设备小区测量成功；或者后续所述基站不再增加gap数量，只调整gap的偏移量，以使调整后的gap可以覆盖终端设备还未测量到的待测量邻小区的参考信号时域位置，尽快完成小区测量。
