Description

一种无时隙测量方法及装置
本申请要求于2020年4月3日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202010259696.5、发明名称为“一种无时隙测量方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，以及，于2021年1月22日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202110091110.3、发明名称为“一种无时隙测量方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种无时隙测量方法及装置。
背景技术
在移动通信中，测量是一个普遍而重要的过程。例如，在无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)RRC_连接(CONNECTED)态，终端设备需要对服务小区的邻区进行测量时，如果不支持无需测量时隙(measurement gap)的测量，则需要为终端设备配置准确的测量时隙，以使得终端设备根据该测量时隙对邻区进行测量。
现有技术中，在RRC_CONNECTED态，终端设备根据该测量时隙对终端设备的服务小区的邻区进行测量时，如果邻区不同步，导致基站配置的测量时隙中不包括部分或全部邻区同步信号时，如NR的SSB(synchronization signal block，同步信号块)，终端设备将无法测到部分或全部邻区。如果终端能够支持无时隙测量，终端设备能够在足够长的窗口内测量邻区SSB，将能够测到全部邻区，因此，保证终端设备支持无时隙测量成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供一种无时隙测量方法及装置，解决了现有技术在终端设备没有射频通路接收邻区的信号，导致终端设备无法对邻区进行无时隙测量的问题。
为达到上述目的，本申请采用如下技术方案：
第一方面，提供了一种无时隙测量方法，该无时隙测量方法包括：终端设备接收来自接入网设备的用于指示终端设备对终端设备的服务小区的邻区进行无时隙测量的配置信息。终端设备根据该配置信息，确定第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分或者全部射频通路为终端设备的服务小区的邻区的待测资源单元的射频通路，其中，第二资源单元包括在为所述终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元的第一资源单元组合中。终端设备在第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分或者全部射频通路上，对终端设备的服务小区的邻区进行无时隙测量。
基于第一方面提供的无时隙测量方法，终端设备在接收到用于指示终端设备对终端设备的服务小区的邻区进行无时隙测量的配置信息之后，终端设备可以根据该配置信息，确定为所述终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元的第一资源单元组合中的第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分或全部射频通路为服务小区的邻区的待测资源单元的射频通路。这样，终端设备可以在待测资源单元的射频通路上接收邻区的信号，从而，终端设备可以对邻区进行无时隙测量，解决了现有技术中当终端设备没有射频通路接收邻区的信号，导致无法对邻区进行无时隙测量的问题。

具体实施方式
在介绍本申请实施例之前，对本申请实施例涉及的一些名词进行解释：
资源单元，可以指用于传输数据的频率资源，如：终端设备可以通过资源单元与接入网设备传输上行数据和/或下行数据。资源单元可以包括组分载波(component carrier,CC)、带宽部分(band width part，BWP)、带宽(band)、小区等频率资源，还可以包括其他粒度的频率资源，不予限制。
其中，终端设备可以在一个资源单元上与接入网设备传输上行数据和/或下行数据，也可以为了提高系统的频谱效率和用户吞吐率，在多个资源单元上与接入网设备传输上行数据和/下行数据。本申请中，以终端设备在多个资源单元上与接入网设备传输上行数据和/下行数据为例进行描述。
其中，多个资源单元可以组合在一起构成资源单元组合。资源单元组合可以包括多个资源单元以及每个资源单元对应的MIMO能力。多个资源单元可以为同一小区组的资源单元，如：可以为载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)情况下的多个CC。多个资源单元还可以为双连接(dual connectivity，DC)模式下，终端设备接入的不同小区组的资源单元，不予限制。
小区(cell)：可以指用于为终端设备提供无线通信业务的一片区域，其中，接入网设备在该区域中为终端设备提供无线通信业务。其中，一个接入网设备可以管理小区。每个小区对应一个小区标识(cell identifier，cell ID)，由该小区标识唯一标识该小区。若终端设备驻留到某个小区，且待接入到该驻留的小区，则该小区可以称为该终端设备的驻留小区或服务小区(serving cell)，该服务小区周围、与该服务小区相邻的小区可以称为该服务小区的邻居小区(neighborhood cell)或者邻区。
载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)：将两个或者两个以上的CC聚合在一起以支持更大的传输带宽(如：100兆赫兹(MHz))。其中，每个CC对应一个独立的小区(cell)，可以将1个CC等同于1个小区。第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)协议规定一个终端设备可以被配置多个CC，(如：最多可 以被配置5个CC或者32个CC等)，在终端设备被配置的多个CC中，其中一个CC可以被称为主小区(primary cell，PCell)，是终端设备进行初始连接建立的小区，或进行无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)连接重建的小区，或是在切换(handover)过程中指定的主小区。PCell负责与终端设备之间的RRC通信。其余CC被称为辅小区(secondary cell，SCell)，SCell是在终端设备的RRC重配置时添加的，用于提供额外的无线资源。
其中，该两个或者两个以上的CC为同一种无线接入技术内的CC。例如，该无线接入技术可以为长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)或新空口(new radio，NR)，该无线接入技术还可以为其他无线接入技术，不予限制。
一种示例，以CA包括2个CC(如，CC1和CC2)为例，CA的表示形式可以为：CA_[band指示][带宽等级]-[band指示][带宽等级]。
上述CA的表示形式中，以“_”“为分隔符，将CA划分为两个部分：第一部分“CA”表示这个组合为CA组合；第二部分“[band指示][带宽等级]-[band指示][带宽等级]”表示CC1和CC2的组合，每个CC可以包括“[band指示][带宽等级]”。
其中，band指示表示CC所在的band。band可以用数字或者字符表示，不同无线接入技术对应的载波可以用不同的符号表示。例如，LTE中载波所在的band可以用数字表示，如，1表示LTE的CC所在的band为band1，2表示LTE的CC所在的band为band2。NR中band可以用字符和数字的组合表示，例如，n1表示NR的CC所在的band为band1，n78表示NR的CC所在的band为band78。本申请实施例中，band还可以用其他形式表示，不予限制。
其中，宽带等级是指CC所在的band支持带内连续CC的数量。
一种示例中，NR的带宽等级以及LTE的宽带等级如表1所示，NR的带宽等级可以包括：A、B、C、D、E、F、G、H、I、J。LTE的宽带等级可以包括：A、B、C、D、E、F、I。其中，每个宽带等级对应的载波支持连续CC的数量可以参照表1所示。
表1
Figure PCTCN2021080270-appb-000001
需要说明的是，表1中，当NR的宽带等级为“A”时，表示band支持带内连续 CC的数量为1。当NR的宽带等级为“B”时，表示band支持带内连续CC的数量为2。当LTE的宽带等级为“A”时，表示band支持连续带内CC的数量为1。当LTE的宽带等级为“B”时，表示band支持带内连续CC的数量为2。NR的宽带等级“C”～“J”以及LTE的宽带等级“C”～“I”支持带内连续的CC可以参照表1，不再赘述。
本申请实施例中，NR的带宽等级以及LTE的宽带等级还可以包括其他宽带等级，不予限制。宽带等级的表示形式仅为示例性的，还可以为其他表示形式，例如，罗马数字等，不予限制。每个宽带等级支持带内连续CC的数量也可以为其他数值，不与限制。
一种示例中，结合表1，对于组合CA_n1A-n3C，“CA”表示该载波组合为CA组合，“n1A-n3C”表示该载波组合由CC1和CC2构成，CC1和CC2为NR的CC，且CC1所在的band1支持带内1个CC，CC2所在的band3支持带内2个连续的CC。其中，band1为该载波组合中主载波，band3为该载波组合中的辅成员载波(sencondary carrier component，SCC)。
又一种示例中，结合表1，对于组合CA_1A-3C，“CA”表示该载波组合为CA组合，“1A-3C”表示该载波组合由LTE的CC1和CC2构成，且CC1所在的band1支持带内1个CC，CC2所在的band3支持带内2个连续的CC。
其中，CC1为该载波组合中主载波，CC2为该载波组合中的SCC。
双连接(dual connectivity，DC)：可以指支持两个接入网设备同时为一个终端设备提供数据传输服务；其中PCell所在的接入网设备称为主接入网设备(如，Master gNB，简称MgNB)，另外一个接入网设备(即主辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell，PSCell)所在的接入网设备)称为辅接入网设备(如，Secondary gNB，简称SgNB)，其中，主接入网设备为控制面锚点，即终端设备与主接入网设备建立RRC连接，且主接入网设备与核心网之间建立控制面连接，主接入网设备与终端设备间传输RRC消息，后续增强技术中，辅接入网设备与终端设备之间也可以进行部分RRC消息的发送(例如配置信息、测量报告等)。
DC可以存在于相同的接入技术内或不同的接入技术之间，例如，两组LTE可以构成LTE DC，两组NR可以构成NR DC，一组LTE和一组NR可以构成E-UTRA和NR双连接(E-UTRAN NR-dual connectivity，EN-DC)或NR和LTE双连接(NR E-UTRAN-dual connectivity，NE-DC)。
在DC下，终端设备连接的两个接入网设备可以为主接入网设备和辅接入网设备，每个接入网设备覆盖下的小区可以组成一个CA组，两个接入网设备可以看成两个CA组，其中主接入网设备覆盖下的CA组可以为主小区组(master cell group，MCG)，MCG可以承载终端设备的控制面和用户面，既可以负责向终端设备发送业务，也可以负责向终端设备发送控制信令。辅接入网设备覆盖下的CA组可以称为辅小区组(secondary cell group，SCG)，SCG可以承载终端设备的用户面，可以负责向终端设备发送业务。
例如，对于EN-DC，LTE的接入网设备为MCG，NR的接入网设备为SCG。对于NE-DC，NR的接入网设备为MCG，LTE的接入网设备为SCG。
例如，如图1所示，终端设备可以同时与接入网设备1和接入网设备2通信连接。假设接入网设备1覆盖下的小区组成CA组1，接入网设备2覆盖下的小区组成CA组2，CA组1为MCG，CA组2为SCG，则接入网设备1可以在CA组1上向终端设备发送控制信令以及传输业务，接入网设备2可以在CA组2上向终端设备传输业务等。接入网设备1可以为主接入网设备，接入网设备2可以为辅接入网设备。接入网设备1可以为辅接入网设备，接入网设备1可以为主接入网设备，不予限制。
一种示例，以资源单元为载波为例，DC的表示形式可以为：DC_[band指示][带宽等级]-[band指示][带宽等级]_[band指示][带宽等级]-[band指示][带宽等级]。
上述DC的表示形式中，以“_”“为分隔符，将DC划分为三个部分：第一部分“DC”表示这个组合为DC组合；第二部分“[band指示][带宽等级]-[band指示][带宽等级]”表示MCG的载波组合，且该MCG的载波组合包括1个或多个载波；第三部分“[band指示][带宽等级]-[band指示][带宽等级]”表示SCG的载波组合，且该SCG的载波组合包括1个或多。
其中，第二部分和第三部分中的band指示与宽带等级的具体描述可以参照CA的band指示与宽带等级的描述，此处不再赘述。
一种示例，结合表1，对于载波组合DC_1A-3C_n78C，“DC”表示该载波组合为DC组合，“1A-3C”表示该载波组合中的MCG由LTE的CC1和CC2构成，CC1所在band为band 1，CC2所在的band为band 3，由带内连续的2个CC构成；“n78C”表示该载波组合中的SCG由NR的CC3构成，CC3所在的band为band 78，由带内连续的2个CC构成。
需要说明的是，CA和DC可以统称为BC(band combination，频带组合)。
需要说明的是，不论是支持CA还是支持DC组合，终端设备都需要同时工作在多个载波(服务小区)上。因此，终端设备支持的CA和DC组合受到终端设备的射频通路(或接收机)设计的限制，不同band的频点可能需要不同的射频通路，也可能共享相同的射频通路，这取决于终端设备的具体设计。一般来说，终端设备的射频通路越多，可以支持的CA或DC组合越多。
同时LTE和NR中还支持多输入多输出(Multi-input Multi-output，MIMO)的多天线技术。在一个CC上，如果终端设备支持4收，即在该CC上使用4根天线进行接收，相应的需要占用4个射频通路。可见，不同CA或DC组合下，每个CC的MIMO能力，也受到终端设备的射频通路(或接收机)设计的限制。终端设备的射频通路越多，在相同的CA/DC下理论上能支持的MIMO能力越高。下行MIMO能力通常表示为xR，其中“x”可以为数字1、2、4等。例如，4R表示4收。一般每个CC至少具备2R能力。一个CA/DC下，各CC的MIMO能力的组合，称为该CA/DC的MIMO能力组合。例如，DC_1A_3A_7A-n78的MIMO能力组合为4R+2R+4R+4R，即band 1、band 7和band n78的CC支持4R的MIMO能力，而band 3的CC支持2R的MIMO能力。终端设备的射频通路设计一定时，每个CA/DC下的最大MIMO能力组合也是确定的。
因此当终端设备的射频通路设计一定时，终端设备工作在不同MIMO能力的CC构成的CA/DC组合下时，对某个band上的异频或异系统邻区的测量是否需要测量时 隙的能力也不同。例如，终端设备具有DC_1A_3A-n78的能力(当然也支持DC_1A-n78)。其中，band 1、band 3和band n78的CC都支持4R，但不支持DC_1A_3C-n78和DC_1A_3A_3A-n78，则当终端设备工作在DC_1A-n78下时，对band 3上异频邻区测量时能够支持无需测量时隙的测量；但当终端设备工作在DC_1A_3A-n78上，并且基站配置band 3为4R，再对band 3的异频邻区进行测量时，此时由于无剩余射频通道用于接收band 3异频邻区信号，因此终端设备仅支持需要测量时隙的测量。
一种示例中，在终端设备接入基站时，可以通过RRC信令(如终端设备的能力信息(UECapabilityInformation))告知基站终端设备支持的CA和DC组合，以及每个组合下的MIMO能力组合。基站可以通过RRC信令(如RRC连接重新配置(ConnectionReconfiguration))为终端设备配置CC构成CA或DC组合，并配置每个CC的MIMO能力。在UECapabilityInformation的LTE能力部分，还可以指示每个LTE CA下对每个band(包括2G、3G、4G的band)的测量是否需要测量时隙的能力。但R15协议规定当异频或异系统邻区为NR小区时都需要测量时隙，因此在RRC信令(CapabilityInformation)中没有指示不同CA/DC下测量各个NR band是否需要测量时隙的字段。
当终端设备不支持无需测量时隙的测量时，基站在配置终端设备的测量时需同时配置测量时隙。测量时隙的配置可以如图2所示，该配置主要包括3个参数：测量时隙重复周期(measurement gap repetition period，MGRP)配置测量测量周期；测量时隙长度(measurement gap length，MGL)配置测量时隙的长度，测量时隙的最大可以为6ms；间隙补偿(gap offset)配置测量时隙的起始位置。终端设备可以根据这3个参数，确定测量时隙起始位置在满足以下条件的系统帧号(system frame number，SFN)和子帧(subframe)上：
SFN mod T＝FLOOR(gapOffset/10)；
subframe＝gap Offset mod 10；
测量周期T＝MGRP/10。
需要说明的是，终端设备在对待测NR小区进行测量时，可以基于SSB进行测量。若终端设备采用测量时隙的测量方式，则基站需要为终端设备配置准确的测量时隙的位置，该位置需要包括待测NR小区的SSB。
同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)：包含主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)和物理广播信道(physical broadcast bhannel，PBCH)。可以用于同步，时频跟踪，无线资源测量等。
一种示例中，如图3所示，待测NR小区的SSB可以按照时间周期(也可以称为SSB周期)发送，其中，时间周期可以根据需要设置，比如，可以为5ms、10ms、20ms、40ms、80ms或160ms，不予限制。待测NR小区在一个周期内可以发送多个SSB，该多个SSB可以在一个时间周期内发送，也即，一个时间周期内的多个SSB可以称为一个SSB脉冲组(Burst Set)。例如，待测NR小区的SSB周期为20ms，该SSB周期包括4个5ms。NR小区的一个SSB Burst Set都集中在一个5ms中发送，其他3个5ms中不发生SSB。因此，基站在为终端设备配置测量时隙时，配置的测量时隙需要包括 SSB发送时刻(图3中的实线所示测量时隙)。否则，终端设备在测量时隙内将收不到待测NR小区的SSB(图3中虚线所示测量时隙)，从而无法对待测NR小区进行测量。
进一步的，为了测量待测NR小区，基站还可以为每个待测频点配置测量时间配置(SS/PBCH block measurement time configuration，SMTC)。
SMTC：是一个周期最大为160ms、窗长最大为5ms的窗口。R15协议规定终端设备仅在SMTC窗口和测量时隙重叠的地方才进行SSB测量，并且基站配置的SMTC周期大于SSB周期。
因此，当基站配置待测NR小区的测量时隙时，需要保证配置的测量时隙内包含待测NR小区的一个完整的SSB Burst Set。但是，在实际中存在一定困难。具体来说，基站配置的测量时隙的位置是以服务小区的定时为参考，而待测NR小区的SSB的位置是以NR小区的定时为参考。如果服务小区和待测NR小区不同步，则基站需要知道服务小区和待测NR小区之间的定时偏差，才能正确的为终端设备配置测量时隙的位置。其次，即使基站确定了服务小区和各个邻区之间的定时偏差，在一些情况下也无法配置合适的测量时隙。例如，如图4所示，终端设备接入小区1。小区2和小区3为小区1的异频邻区，并且小区1和小区2、小区3不同步。因此，小区2和小区3的SSB上不在同一位置。若基站不能确定终端设备是在小区2还是小区3的边缘，则基站无法确定应该将测量时隙配置在小区2的SSB位置还是配置在小区3的SSB位置。如图5所示，若终端设备在小区3的边缘，而基站配置的测量时隙只包含小区2的SSB位置，将导致终端设备测不到小区3，也就无法向小区3切换。
射频通路：本申请实施例中特指接收射频通路，也可以称为接收机或者射频通道。终端设备的射频通路用于接收接入网设备的信号，接入网设备的射频通路用于接收终端设备的信号。
其中，终端设备的射频通路的数量可以确定终端设备是否支持无时隙测量。
例如，在RRC_CONNECTED态，如果终端设备的射频通路可以同时接收服务小区的信号和邻区的信号，则终端设备不需要测量时隙就可以完成对邻区的测量，也即，终端设备可以对邻区进行无时隙测量。如果终端设备的射频通路无法同时接收服务小区的信号和邻区的信号，也就是说，终端设备没有额外的射频通路接收邻区的信号，这时就需要一段时间进行时隙测量。在时隙测量过程中，终端设备可以将用于接收服务小区的射频通路停止接收服务小区的信号，并使该射频通路工作在邻区的频点，用以接收邻区的信号，进而完成对邻区的测量。
需要说明的是，对于CA以及DC，终端设备都需要同时工作在多个载波(服务小区)上。因此，终端设备支持的CA和DC组合受到终端设备设备的射频通路设计的限制，不同载波的频点可能需要不同的射频通路，也可能需要相同的射频通路，这与终端设备的具体设计相关。终端设备的射频通路越多，能支持的CA或DC的组合越多。
MIMO能力：通常表示为xR，其中“x”为数字，如，1、2、4等。每个CC至少具备2R能力。例如，一个CC的MIMO能力为4R，表示该CC支持4收。终端设备支持资源单元组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力是指终端设备在资源单元组合中每个 资源单元上接收信号使用的天线或射频通路的数量。其中，该资源单元组合可以为上述的CA或DC。
对于不同CA或DC的CC，CC的MIMO能力也受到射频通路设计的限制。终端设备的射频通路越多，在相同的CA或DC下终端设备的MIMO能力越高。
一个CA或一个DC下的各CC的MIMO能力的组合，称为该CA/DC的MIMO组合能力。当终端设备的射频通路的数量一定时，终端设备工作在不同MIMO能力的CC构成的CA或DC下时，对某个band对应的邻区的测量是否需要测量时隙的能力也不同。
例如，终端设备支持的DC_1A_3A-n78。其中，DC_1A_3A-n78中band 1、band 3和band n78的CC的MIMO能力为4R。终端设备不支持DC_1A_3A_7A-n78。其中，DC_1A_3A_7A-n78中band 1、band 7和band n78的CC的MIMO能力为4R，band 3的CC的MIMO能力为2R。当终端设备工作在DC_1A-n78下时，可以对band 3对应的邻区进行无时隙测量；当终端工作在DC_1A_3A-n78下时，终端设备在对band 7对应的邻区进行无时隙测量时，此时由于终端设备没有剩余的射频通路用于接收band 7对应的邻区的信号，因此终端设备无法对band 7对应的邻区进行无时隙测量。
本申请实施例中，为了解决现有技术中终端设备没有射频通路接收邻区的信号，导致终端设备无法对邻区进行无时隙测量的问题，提供一种无时隙测量方法，包括：终端设备接收来自接入网设备的用于指示终端设备对终端设备的服务小区的邻区进行无时隙测量的配置信息。终端设备根据该配置信息，确定第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分或全部射频通路为个该邻区的待测资源单元的射频通路。第二资源单元包括在为终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元的第一资源单元组合中。这样，终端设备可以在第二资源单元的部分或者全部射频通路上，对终端设备的服务小区的邻区进行无时隙测量。
下面将结合附图对本申请实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。
本申请实施例提供的无时隙测量方法可用于支持通信的任一通信系统，该通信系统可以为3GPP通信系统，例如，LTE通信系统、5G移动通信系统、新空口(new radio，NR)系统、NR车联网(vehicle-to-everything，V2X)系统以及其他下一代通信系统，也可以为非3GPP通信系统，不予限制。下面以图6为例，对本申请实施例提供的无时隙测量方法进行描述。

其中，图6中的接入网设备主要用于实现终端设备的资源调度、无线资源管理、无线接入控制等功能。具体的，接入网设备可以是小型基站、无线接入点、收发点(transmission receive point，TRP)、传输点(transmission point，TP)以及某种其它接入节点中的任一节点。本申请实施例中，用于实现接入网设备的功能的装置可以是接入网设备，也可以是能够支持接入网设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片系统。下面以用于实现接入网设备的功能的装置是接入网设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的无时隙测量方法。
图6中的UE可以为终端设备(terminal equipment)或者移动台(mobile station，MS)或者移动终端(mobile terminal，MT)等。具体的，UE可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑或带无线收发功能的电脑，还可以是虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)设备、工业控制中的无线终端、无人驾驶中的无线终端、远程医疗中的无线终端、智能电网中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智能家居、车载终端等。本申请实施例中，用于实现终端设备的功能的装置可以是终端设备，也可以是能够支持终端设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片系统。下面以用于实现终端设备的功能的装置是终端设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的无时隙测量方法。

在一种具体实现时，图6所示的各网元，如：终端设备以及接入网设备可以具有如图7所示的部件。图7为本申请实施例提供的一种通信装置700的组成示意图，当该通信装置700具有本申请实施例所述的终端设备的功能时，该通信装置700可以为终端设备或者终端设备中的芯片或者片上系统。当通信装置700具有本申请实施例所述的接入网设备的功能时，通信装置700可以为接入网设备或者接入网设备中的芯片或者片上系统。
如图7所示，该通信装置700可以包括：存储器、处理器、发送(transmit，TX)信号处理单元和接收(receive，RX)信号处理单元。存储器、处理器、TX信号处理单元以及RX信号处理单元之间通过通信线路连接。

RX信号处理单元实现信号接收的各种信号处理功能，包括同步、时频跟踪、测量、信道估计、均衡、解调、解扰、译码等过程。
TX信号处理单元和RX信号处理单元分别通过TX射频通路和RX射频通路和天线相连。TX射频通路将基带信号调制到载波频率，通过天线发送出去；RX射频通路将从天线接收到的射频信号解调为基带信号，交由RX信号处理单元处理。部分天线可配置为同时发送和接收(如图7中的天线1和天线2)，因此同时与TX射频通路和RX射频通路相连；部分天线配置为只用于接收(如图7中的天线s和天线m)，因此只与RX射频通路相连。TX射频通路和RX射频通路可与任一天线相连，如TX射频通路1和RX射频通路1与天线3相连。RX射频通路和TX射频通路并不一定和天线相连接，如果当前射频通路未被使用，则该射频通路不与天线相连接。并且同一天线可与多个RX射频通路和/或TX射频通路相连接，天线可同时工作在多个频点上，下行接收时通过滤波器将天线接收的多个频点的信号分离，通过不同的RX射频通路送给RX信号处理单元处理；上行发送时，来自不同TX射频通路的不同频点的信号通过合入器合并后，在同一天线上发送。以上都可根据业务需求灵活配置。

下面以接入网设备通过RRC消息向终端设备发送配置信息，以及终端设备在接收到配置信息之后，向接入网设备发送测量结果为例，结合图9的示意图进行说明。
接入网设备将RRC消息以L2组的形式封装成数据包，并通过接入网设备的PHY层向终端设备发送该数据包。相应的，终端设备可以通过终端设备的PHY层接收来自接入网设备的数据包。终端设备的PHY层向终端设备的L2层发送该数据包。终端设备的L2层接收到来自终端设备的PHY层的数据包之后，对该数据包进行解封，得到RRC消息。终端设备的L2层向终端设备的RRC层发送该RRC消息。终端设备的RRC层接收到来自终端设备的L2层的RRC消息之后，解析该RRC消息，得到来自接入网设备发送的配置信息。终端设备的RRC层在得到来自接入网设备发送的配置信息之后，可以向终端设备的PHY层发送内部配置消息。该内部配置消息可以用于指示终端设备的PHY层对第一小区进行无时隙测量。终端设备的PHY层在对待测小区进行无时隙测量之后，向终端设备的RRC层上报测量结果。终端设备的RRC层在接收到终端设备的PHY层的测量结果之后，可以生成测量报告(MeasurementReport)。终端设备的RRC层可以通过终端设备的L2层、PHY层向接入网设备的PHY层发送该测量报告。接入网设备的PHY层在接收到来自终端设备的PHY层的测量报告之后，可以通过接入网设备的L2层传递给接入网设备的RRC层。
需要说明的是，接入网设备也可以通过其他消息向终端设备发送配置信息，不予限制。
配置信息除用于指示终端设备对第一小区进行无时隙测量之外，还可以用于指示其他信息，如：一种示例中，配置信息还可以用于指示第二资源单元组合以及第二资源单元组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力。
其中，第二资源单元组合包括更新后的第一资源单元，更新后的第一资源单元不包括第二资源单元，或者，更新后的第一资源单元组合中第二资源单元的MIMO能力低于第一资源单元组合中第二资源单元的MIMO能力。
其中，第二资源单元组合可以由接入网设备确定并只指示给终端设备。配置信息可以包括第二资源单元组合以及第二资源单元组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力。
需要说明的是，第二资源单元组合以及第二资源单元组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力可以携带在配置信息中发送给终端设备，以降低信令开销。第二资源单元组合以及第二资源单元组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力也可以不携带在配置信息中发送给终端设备，如：接入网设备可以通过单独的信令向终端设备发送第二资源单元组合以及第二资源单元组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力，以降低终端设备解析信令带来的功耗。
例如，第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，第二资源单元为band3，第一资源单元为band78，band78为NR的资源单元。则更新后的第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-7A。
又例如，第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，第二资源单元band3，第一资源单元组合的MIMO能力为4R+4R+4R，第一资源单元为band78，band78为NR的资源单元，第二资源单元为band3，band3的MIMO能力为4R。则更新后的第一资源组合为CA_1A-3A-7A。更新后的第一资源单元组合的MIMO能力为4R+2R+4R。
具体的，该一种示例的实现方式可参照下述图6所示。
又一种示例中，配置信息还可以用于指示至少一个资源单元，至少一个资源单元包括在第一资源单元组合中，至少一个资源单元包括射频通道可作为第一资源单元的 射频通道的资源单元，以便终端设备从至少一个资源单元中选择出第二资源单元，将第二资源单元的部分射频通道或者全部射频通道作为第一资源单元的射频通道。
例如，第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，该至少一个资源单元可以包括band1、band3以及band7中的一个或多个。或者，该至少一个资源单元可以包括band3和/或band7。
步骤902、终端设备根据配置信息，确定第一资源单元的射频通路。
其中，第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分或全部射频通路，第二资源单元包括在为终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的第一资源单元组合中，第一资源单元组合包括一个或者多个处于激活状态的资源单元。
需要说明的是，本申请中，资源单元处于激活状态可以指可以在该资源单元接收或发送上下行信号。例如，终端设备可以通过处于激活状态的资源单元的射频通路向接入网设备发送上行信号，以及可以通过处于激活状态的资源单元的射频通路接收来自接入网设备的下行信号。
例如，假设为终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，该资源单元中处于激活状态的资源单元可以包括band1、band3以及band7。其中，当第二资源单元可以为band1、band3以及band7中的一个或多个时，第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分射频通路。当第二资源单元为band3和/或band7时，第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的射频通路中的全部射频通路。
示例性的，步骤902可以包括下述两种方式：
方式一、配置信息用于指示第二资源单元组合以及第二资源单元组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力，终端设备根据配置信息确定第一资源单元的射频通道可以包括：
终端设备比较第一资源单元组合以及第二资源单元组合，将第一资源组合中包括但第二资源组合中不包括的资源单元的射频通路，作为第一资源单元的射频通路；或者，将第一资源组合与第二资源单元组合中MIMO能力不同的同一资源单元的射频通路的部分射频通路，作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
例如，第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，第二资源单元组合为DC_1A-7A，第一资源单元组合包括band3。第二资源单元组合不包括band3。终端设备可以将band3的全部射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
又例如，第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，第二资源单元组合为DC_1A-3A-7A，第一资源单元组合中band3的MIMO能力为4R，band1和band7的MIMO能力均为4R。第二资源单元组合中band3的MIMO能力为2R，band1和band7的MIMO能力均为4R。终端设备可以将band3的射频通路中的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
具体的，该方式一可参照图11中所示。

条件3、处于激活状态的资源单元中信号质量最小的资源单元。
其中，信号质量可以包括RSRP或RSRQ或SINR或者其他参数，不予限制。
继续结合上述条件1中的示例，若band1的RSRP大于band3的RSRP，band3的RSRP大于band7的RSRP。终端设备可以将band7的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
若band1的RSRQ大于band3的RSRQ，band3的RSRQ大于band7的RSRP。终端设备可以将band7的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
若band1的SINR大于band3的SINR，band3的SINR大于band7的SINR。终端设备可以将band7的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
需要说明的是，若band1的RSRP为上述band中最小的RSRP，且band3的RSRP为上述band中最小的RSRQ，且band7的SINR为上述band中最小的SINR，则终端设备可以在上述三个band中任意一个band的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路，终端设备也可以按预设优先级从上述三个band中选择一个band。例如，RSRP的优先级高于RSRQ，RSRQ的优先级高于SINR。结合上述描述，终端设备可以将band1的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。其中，预设优先级为预先设置的优先级，不予限制。
条件4、处于激活状态的资源单元中数据传输速率最低的资源单元。
继续结合上述条件1中的示例，若band1的数据传输速率大于band3的数据传输速率，band3的数据传输速率大于band7的数据传输速率，终端设备可以将band7的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
条件5、处于激活状态的资源单元中ID最大的资源单元。
继续结合上述条件1中的示例，若band3为上述3个band中ID最大的资源单元，则终端设备可以将band3的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
终端设备可以根据配置信息去激活该至少一个资源单元，以使得终端设备停止在去激活的至少一个资源单元的全部射频通路上与服务小区进行数据传输。终端设备可以将停止与服务小区进行数据传输的该至少一个资源单元的全部射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
例如，结合步骤902中的示例，为终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，该至少一个资源单元可以包括band3、band7中的一个或多个。 终端设备可以去激活band3和/或band7。例如，终端设备去激活band3，终端设备可以该band3上停止与服务小区进行数据传输。终端设备可以将band3的全部射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
情况二、一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备将至少一个资源单元中，满足下述条件6～条件10中一个或者多个条件的第二资源单元的全部射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路：
条件6、处于激活状态的资源单元中ID最大的资源单元。
其中，条件6的具体描述可以参照上述条件5，此处不在赘述。
条件7、处于激活状态的资源单元中数据传输速率最低的资源单元。
其中，条件7的具体描述可以参照上述条件2，此处不在赘述。
条件8、处于激活状态的资源单元中信号质量或RI最小的资源单元。
其中，信号质量可以包括RSRP或RSRQ或SINR或者其他参数，不予限制。对于信号质量中的RSRP或RSRQ或SINR的具体描述可以参照上述条件3，对于RI的具体描述也可以参照上述条件1。此处不再赘述。
条件9、处于激活状态的资源单元中带宽最小的资源单元。
其中，条件9的具体描述可以参照上述条件2，此处不在赘述。
条件10、处于激活状态的资源单元中MIMO能力最大的资源单元。
继续结合上述条件1中的示例，band3的MIMO能力为4R，band7的MIMO能力为8R，终端设备可以将band7的全部射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
需要说明的是，若为终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元组合中多个资源单元的MIMO能力相同，终端设备可以随机或按照预设顺序将该多个资源单元中的任一个或多个资源单元的全部射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
其中，预设顺序可以为预先设置的。例如，预设顺序为从左到右或从右到左，不予限制。例如，为终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，该资源单元组合中band3和band7的MIMO能力相同，终端设备可以将band3和/或band7的全部射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
如此，终端设备可以降低至少一个资源单元中的MIMO能力，以使得终端设备停止在该至少一个资源单元的射频通路中的部分射频通路上与服务小区进行数据传输。终端设备可以将停止与服务小区进行数据传输的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
例如，结合步骤902中的示例，为终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，该至少一个资源单元可以包括band1、band3以及band7中的一个或多个。其中。band1的MIMO能力、band3的MIMO能力以及band7的MIMO能力都为4R。也就是说，终端设备在band1、band3以及band7上与服务小区进行数据传输的射频通路的数量为4个。
终端设备可以将band1的MIMO能力从4R减少为2R；和/或，终端设备可以将band3的MIMO能力从4R减少为2R；和/或，终端设备可以将band7的MIMO能力从4R减少为2R，以使得终端设备在band1上与服务小区进行数据传输的射频通路的数量从4个减少为2个，和/或，以使得终端设备在band3上与服务小区进行数据传输的 射频通路的数量从4个减少为2个，和/或，以使得终端设备在band7上与服务小区进行数据传输的射频通路的数量从4个减少为2个。这样，终端设备就可以将band1上停止与服务小区进行数据传输的2个射频通路，作为第一资源单元的射频通路，和/或，将band3上与服务小区进行数据传输的2个射频通路，作为第一资源单元的射频通路，和/或，将band7上与服务小区进行数据传输的2个射频通路，作为第一资源单元的射频通路。
进一步可选的，方式二中，终端设备可以向接入网设备发送配置完成响应，配置完成响应可以用于指示第二资源单元，以便于接入网设备可以根据配置完成响应确定第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的全部射频通路。
其中，配置完成响应可以包括第二资源单元的标识。配置完成响应还可以包括其他信息，例如，终端设备的标识等，不予限制。
需要说明的是，在将第二资源单元的部分射频通道作为第一资源的射频通道的情况下，配置完成响应还可以用于指示第二资源单元的MIMO能力，以便于接入网设备可以根据配置完成响应确定第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的部分射频通路。
具体的，该方式二可参照下述图12中所述。
步骤903、终端设备在第一资源单元的射频通路上，对第一小区进行无时隙测量。
示例性的，终端设备可以在第一资源单元的射频通路上，按照预设时间持续监测SSB。
其中，预设时间可以设置为大于等于第一小区的SSB周期。
一种示例，预设时间可以为SMTC周期。
本申请实施例中，由于SMTC周期大于SSB周期，因此在SMTC周期内，终端设备可以接收到服务小区的邻区的信号，也即终端设备可以对服务小区的邻区进行无时隙测量，从而解决了现有技术中在6ms测量时隙内终端设备测不到服务小区的邻区的问题。
需要说明的是，图9所示方法以终端设备对第一小区或者第一小区的第一资源单元进行无时隙测量为例进行描述，可理解的是，终端设备可参照图9所示的方法对多个待测资源单元进行无时隙测量，不予赘述。例如，终端设备可参照图9所示的方法对图6中的小区1.1、小区1.2、小区2.1、小区2.2的待测资源单元进行无时隙测量。
基于本申请实施例提供的无时隙测量方法，终端设备在接收到用于指示在第一资源单元上对终端设备的服务小区的邻区进行无时隙测量的配置信息之后，终端设备可以根据该配置信息，确定为所述终端设备配置的、处于激活状态的资源单元的第一资源单元组合中的第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分或全部射频通路为第一资源单元的射频通路。这样，终端设备可以在第一资源单元的射频通路上接收邻区的信号，从而，解决了现有技术中当终端设备没有射频通路接收邻区的信号，导致无法对邻区进行无时隙测量的问题。
可选的，在图9所示方法的第一个实现方式中，所述方法还包括：
接入网设备向终端设备发送第一查询信息。相应的，终端设备接收来自接入网设备的第一查询信息。
其中，第一查询信息用于查询终端设备的能力信息。终端设备的能力信息可以包 括终端设备支持的资源单元组合以及终端设备支持的资源单元组合中每个资源单元对应的MIMO能力。终端设备支持的资源单元组合能力是指终端设备支持的全部资源单元组合的集合。
例如，终端设备支持的资源单元组合包括：CA_1A-3A-7A、DC_1A-3A_n78A、DC_1A-7A_n78A、DC_3A-7A_n78。也就是说，终端设备支持的资源单元组合能力为CA_1A-3A-7A、DC_1A-3A_n78A、DC_1A-7A_n78A、DC_3A-7A_n78。
又例如，终端设备支持的资源单元组合CA_1A-3A-7A的MIMO能力为4R+4R+4R。也就是说，该资源单元组合包括band1、band3以及band7。其中，band1对应的MIMO能力为4R，band3对应的MIMO能力为4R，band7对应的MIMO能力为4R。
例如，第一查询信息可以为RRC信息，如第一查询信息为终端设备能力查询(UE Capability Enqiry)。终端设备可以通过RRC响应信息，如终端设备的能力信息(UE Capability Information)，将终端设备的能力信息返回给接入网设备。
其中，RRC响应信息可以包括多个信元，每个信元可以携带一个或多个终端设备的能力信息。
例如，终端设备支持的LTE CA组合以及LTE CA组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力可以包含在信元UE-EUTRA-Capability中；终端设备支持的NR CA组合以及NR CA组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力可以包含在信元UE-NR-Capability中；终端设备支持的EN-DC组合以及EN-DC组合中每个资源单元的MIMO能力包含在信元UE-MRDC-Capability中。
基于该实现方式，接入网设备可以通过与终端设备的信令交互获取终端设备的能力信息，简单易行。
可选的，在图9所示方法的第二个实现方式中，所述方法还包括：
当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的部分射频通道时，接入网设备和终端设备按降低后的MIMO能力在第二资源单元上接收或发送上下行信号。
基于该实现方式，终端设备可以在第二资源单元的部分射频通路上接收邻区的信号，进而，终端设备可以对邻区进行无时隙测量。
当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的全部射频通道时，接入网设备和终端设备停止在第二资源单元上接收或发送上下行信号。
基于该实现方式，终端设备可以在第二资源单元的全部射频通路上接收邻区的信号，进而，终端设备可以对邻区进行无时隙测量。
可选的，在图9所示方法的第三个实现方式中，所述方法还包括：
终端设备向接入网设备发送测量报告。相应的，接入网设备接收来自终端设备的测量报告。
本申请实施例中，终端设备可以在终端设备对邻区和服务小区的测量满足触发测量条件，或者终端设备的测量时长大于或等于预设测量周期时，向接入网设备发送测量报告。
其中，触发测量条件可以为预先设置的条件。例如，邻区的信号质量强于服务小区的信号质量，或者，服务小区的信号质量低于第一预设门限，或者，邻区的信号质量大于第二预设门限等。其中，第一预设门限和第二预设门限可以为预先设置的门限， 不予限制。
其中，预设测量周期可以为预先设置的时间长度，不予限制。
基于该实现方式，接入网设备可以根据测量报告，准确的确定终端设备是否需要进行小区切换，避免当终端设备的服务小区的信号质量较差的情况下，影响终端设备的使用。
下面结合图6所示系统，以接入网设备确定第一资源单元的射频通道并指示给终端设备为例，对图9所示方法进行详细介绍：
图11为本申请实施例提供的一种无时隙测量方法的流程图，如图11所示，该方法可以包括：
步骤1101、终端设备向接入网设备发送终端设备的能力信息。相应的，接入网设备接收来自终端设备的能力信息。
其中，终端设备的能力信息的具体描述可以参照上述步骤902中的终端设备的能力信息的描述，此处不再赘述。
步骤1102、接入网设备确定第一资源单元的射频通路。
其中，第一资源单元的射频通路可以参照上述步骤902中第一资源单元的射频通路的描述，此处不再赘述。
示例性的，步骤1102可以包括下述两种情况：
情况三、接入网设备将满足下述一个或者多个条件的第二资源单元的部分射频通路作为第一资源单元的射频通路：

条件14、处于激活状态的资源单元中数据传输速率最低的资源单元；
条件15、处于激活状态的资源单元中ID最大的资源单元。
其中，条件11～条件15具体可以参照条件1～条件5，此处不在赘述。
情况四、接入网设备将满足下述一个或者多个条件的第二资源单元的全部射频通路作为所述第一资源单元的射频通路：
条件16、处于激活状态的资源单元中ID最大的资源单元。
条件17、处于激活状态的资源单元中数据传输速率最低的资源单元。
条件18、处于激活状态的资源单元中信号质量最小的资源单元。
其中，信号质量可以包括RSRP或RSRQ或SINR，不予限制。
条件19、处于激活状态的资源单元中带宽最小的资源单元。
条件20、处于激活状态的资源单元中MIMO能力最小的资源单元。
其中，条件16～条件20具体可以参照条件6～条件10，此处不在赘述。
一种可能的实施例中，步骤1102具体可以通过以下步骤实现：
步骤11021、接入网设备根据终端设备的能力信息，确定第一资源单元的射频通路。
进一步的，当接入网设备确定第三资源单元组合能力大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合时，或，当接入网设备确定第三资源单元组合的MIMO能力大于所述终端设备 支持的资源单元组合的MIMO能力时，根据终端设备的能力信息，确定第一资源单元的射频通路。
其中，第三资源单元组合为将第一资源单元加入第一资源单元组合后的资源单元组合。
需要说明的是，第三资源单元组合能力大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合，是指第三资源单元组合不包括在终端设备支持的资源单元组合中。
下面结合具体例子对第三资源单元组合能力大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合以及第三资源单元组合的MIMO能力大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合的MIMO能力进行说明：
1、第三资源单元组合能力大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合。
一种示例，终端设备支持的资源组合能力为CA_1A-3A-7A、DC_1A-3A_n78A、DC_1A-7A_n78A、DC_3A-7A_n78。终端设备不支持的资源组合为DC_3A-7A_n78_n67。
例如，第一资源单元为n67，第一资源单元组合为DC_3A-7A_n78，则第三资源单元组合为DC_3A-7A_n78_n67。第三资源单元组合不包括在终端设备不支持的资源单元组合中。也就是说，第三资源单元组合大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合。
例如，第一资源单元为n78，第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A，则第三资源单元组合为DC_1A-3A_n78。第三资源单元组合包括在终端设备支持的资源组合中。也就是说，第三资源单元组合能力小于或等于终端设备支持的资源单元组合。
2、第三资源单元的MIMO能力大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合的MIMO能力。
一种示例，终端设备支持的资源单元组合包括：CA_1A-3A-7A以及DC_1A-3A-7A_n78A。其中，CA_1A-3A-7A的MIMO能力组合为4R+4R+4R；DC_1A-3A-7A_n78A的MIMO能力组合为4R+2R+2R+4R、2R+4R+2R+4R或2R+2R+4R+4R。
例如，第一资源单元为n78，第一资源单元的MIMO能力为2R。第一资源单元组合为CA_1A-3A-7A，第一资源单元组合的MIMO能力为4R+4R+4R。则第三资源单元组合为DC_1A-3A-7A_n78A，第三资源单元组合的MIMO能力为4R+4R+4R+2R。第三资源单元组合的MIMO能力大于终端设备支持的资源单元组合的MIMO能力。
本申请实施例中，由于终端设备支持的资源单元组合较多，若接入网设备获取的终端设备的资源组合不是终端设备支持的所有资源组合，这样当接入网设备根据第二资源单元的射频通路确定第一资源单元的射频通路时，可能会导致确定的第一资源单元的射频通路不是最优的。
步骤1103、接入网设备向终端设备发送配置信息。相应的，终端设备接收来自接入网设备的配置信息。
其中，步骤1103的具体描述可以参照上述步骤901，此处不再赘述。
步骤1104、终端设备根据配置信息，确定第一资源单元的射频通路。
其中，步骤1104的具体描述可以参照上述步骤902，此处不再赘述。
步骤1105、终端设备在第一资源单元的射频通路上，对第一小区进行无时隙测量。
其中，步骤1105的具体描述可以参照上述步骤903，此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是，图11中步骤1101为可选的步骤，步骤1102、步骤1103、步骤 1104以及步骤1150为必选的步骤。
下面结合图6所示系统，以图9中所述的方式二为例，对图9所示方法进行详细介绍：

步骤1204、终端设备向接入网设备发送配置完成响应。相应的，接入网设备接收来自终端设备的配置完成响应。
其中，配置完成响应用于指示第二资源单元。配置完成响应可以包括第二资源单元的标识。配置完成响应还可以包括其他信息，例如，终端设备的标识等，不予限制。
本申请实施例中，当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的全部射频通路时，配置完成响应可以包括第二资源单元的标识；当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的部分射频通路时，配置完成响应可以包括第二资源单元的标识以及第二资源单元的MIMO能力。第二资源单元的MIMO能力为第二资源单元降低后的MIMO能力。
其中，第二资源单元的标识用于唯一标识第二资源单元，以便于接入网设备可以根据第二资源单元的标识获取第二资源单元。示例性的，第二资源单元的标识可以为数字或者字符，也可以为数字与字符的组合，或比特(bit)位图等，不予限制。
例如，第一资源单元的标识为n78，第二资源单元的标识为3A。当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的全部射频通路时，配置完成响应可以包括3A。
例如，第一资源单元组合为DC_1A-3A-7A，当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的全部射频通路时，用bit位图的bit位表示第一资源单元组合中的每个资源单元。当bit为设置为1时，表示对应资源单元为第二资源单元。如果第二资源单元为7A，配置完成响应中包含bit位图001。
示例性的，第二资源单元降低后的MIMO能力可以为数字，也可以为数字与字符的组合，或bit位图等，不予限制。
例如，第一资源单元的标识为n78，第二资源单元的标识为3A。当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的射频通路中的部分射频通路时，配置完成响应可以包括3A{2R}或3A{2}，2R或2表示第二资源单元3A降低后的MIMO能力为2R。
例如，第一资源单元组合为DC_1A-3A-7A，当第一资源单元的射频通路为第二资源单元的部分射频通路时，用bit位图的bit位表示第一资源单元组合中的每个资源单元。当bit位设置为1时，表示对应资源单元的MIMO能力降低为2R。如果第二资源单元为7A，配置完成响应中包含bit位图001。
基于该实现方式，本申请实施例中，终端设备向接入网设备发送用于指示第二资源单元的配置完成响应，以使得接入网设备根据该配置完成响应确定第二资源单元及第二资源单元的MIMO能力。避免出现接入网设备通过第二资源单元向终端设备发送信号，或通过第二资源单元向终端设备发送超过第二资源单元的MIMO能力的信令，使得终端设备与接入网设备不同步的问题。
步骤1205、终端设备在第一资源单元的射频通路上，对第一小区进行无时隙测量。
其中，步骤1205的具体描述可以参照步骤903，此处不再赘述。
步骤1206、终端设备向接入网设备发送测量报告。相应的，接入网设备接收来自终端设备的测量报告。
步骤1206的具体描述可以参照上述图9所示的第三个实现方式，此处不再赘述。
步骤1207、接入网设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息。相应的，终端设备接收来自接入网设备的第一指示信息。
其中，第一指示信息用于指示终端设备从服务小区切换到第一小区。
本申请实施例中，接入网设备接收到来自终端设备的测量报告后，可以根据测量报告确定是否指示终端设备进行小区的切换。
示例性的，接入网设备可以根据测量报告中第一小区的信号质量，确定是否指示终端设备进行小区的切换。例如，在第一小区的信号质量高于服务小区的信号质量的情况下，接入网设备可以确定指示终端设备进行小区进行切换，如，指示终端设备从服务小区切换到第一小区。
