一种测量配置方法及通信装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年06月05日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010505019.7、申请名称为“一种测量配置方法及通信装置”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，尤其涉及一种测量配置方法及通信装置。
背景技术
由于终端的移动性，终端可能从一个小区的覆盖范围移动到另一个小区的覆盖范围，为了保证终端的业务连续性和通信质量，终端会进行小区重选(reselection)或者小区切换(handover)。小区重选和小区切换都需要终端进行小区测量，也就是终端进行无线资源管理(radio resource management，RRM)测量。
网络设备可使用同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)或者信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)进行相邻小区的测量。请参见图1，终端在测量相邻小区的过程当中，需要从当前所在小区切换到与当前所在小区相邻的小区(也称为相邻小区或者邻区)所在的频点上进行测量。例如，终端工作在频点为f1的小区1上，进行数据的接收，在进行小区测量的过程当中，终端需要切换到频率点在f2的小区2上进行测量，当终端完成测量后，终端需要从该频点f2回到f1上，也就是从小区2切换到小区1上。终端完成整个小区测量过程所需要的时间称为测量间隔(gap)，也就是终端从小区1切换到小区2的时间、终端进行小区测量的时间，以及终端从小区2切换到小区1的时间之和。
小区测量的时间一般为基于同步信号(synchronisation signal，SS)块的RRM测量定时配置(SS block based RRM measurement timing configuration，SMTC)的持续时间。随着数据的子载波宽度的增大，SSB的持续时间长度减小，例如数据的子载波宽度为240KHz，SSB的持续时间为2.25ms，数据的子载波宽度为480KHz，SSB的持续时间为1.125ms。第五代移动通信技术(the 5th generation，5G)新空口(new radio，NR)系统可应用于大于或等于52.6GHz的载波频段，由于载波频率更高，所以支持更大的子载波间隔，例如可支持的子载波宽度包括240KHz、480KHz、960KHz、1920KHz、3840KHz。这种情况下，如果沿用120KHz以下配置的gap，显然测量时间较长，导致资源的浪费。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种测量配置方法及通信装置，在大子载波间隔的应用场景中，提供更小的gap配置，以尽量节约资源。
第一方面，提供一种测量配置方法，该第一方面的方法可由第一装置执行，第一装置可以是通信设备或能够支持通信设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置，例如芯片系统。 示例性地，通信设备可以为网络设备。该方法包括：网络设备根据子载波间隔SCS生成测量配置信息，并向终端发送所述测量配置信息；其中，测量配置信息用于配置测量间隔参数和同步信号测量窗口的时间长度，测量间隔参数用于终端测量待测量的参考信号，同步信号测量窗口的时间长度用于确定小区测量时间。
第二方面，提供一种测量配置方法，该第一方面的方法可由第二装置执行，第二装置可以是通信设备或能够支持通信设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置，例如芯片系统。示例性地，通信设备可以为终端。该方法包括：终端接收来自网络设备的测量配置信息，该测量配置信息用于配置测量间隔参数和同步信号测量窗口的时间长度，其中，测量间隔参数用于终端测量待测量的参考信号，同步信号测量窗口的时间长度用于确定小区测量时间，测量间隔参数和所述同步信号测量窗口的时间长度是根据子载波间隔SCS配置的；终端根据所述测量间隔参数和所述同步信号测量窗口的时间长度确定测量间隔，并根据测量间隔测量所述待测量的参考信号。
在第一方面和第二方面的方案中，网络设备可根据SCS配置测量间隔参数和同步信号测量窗口的时间长度。换句话说，测量间隔参数和同步信号测量窗口的时间长度与SCS相关，可保证SCS大于或等于240KHz的情况下，配置的测量间隔更小。即可保证SCS大于或等于240KHz的情况下所配置的测量间隔，又可保证SCS小于120KHz以下的SCS所配置的测量间隔，从而节约进行小区测量的资源。
由于系统应用于大于或等于52.6GHz的情况下，SCS大于或等于240KHz，所以网络设备根据SCS生成测量配置信息，也可以认为是，网络设备根据频段生成测量配置信息，即测量间隔参数和同步信号测量窗口的时间长度是根据频段配置的。例如频段可以是位于0～7.125GHz的FR1、位于7.125GHz～52.6GHz的FR2以及位于52.6GHz-100GHz的FR3等等。

在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一集合可以为如下任意一个集合：
[1.5ms，2.5ms，3.5ms]；或者，[1ms，2ms，3ms]；或者，[1.25ms，2.25ms，3.25ms]。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一集合的取值还可以包括如下取值的一种或多种：4ms、5.5ms或6ms。也就是，第一集合的取值可包括：1ms、1.25ms、1.5ms、2ms、2.25ms、2.5ms、3ms、3.25ms和3.5ms，以及4ms、5.5ms和6ms中的一种或多种。该方案可以认为是在小于或等于120kHz的情况下的测量间隔，即在已有的测量间隔的集合中增加了测量间隔的一些可能的较小取值，既可以保证大于或等于240kHz的情况下，降低测量的资源浪费，又可以兼容小于或等于120kHz的情况下的测量间隔的配置。
在一种可能的实现方式中，可能存在至少两种SCS，所述至少两种SCS包括第一SCS和第二SCS，所述第一SCS对应的第一集合中的取值与所述第二SCS对应的第一集合中的取值可以均不同。该方案中，第一SCS对应的第一集合和第二SCS对应的第一集合分别包括不同的值，可降低协议设计的难度，节省配置测量间隔参数的开销和资源。

其中，网络侧设备可以是能和用户设备通信的设备，也称为网络设备。网络设备可以是接入网设备，接入网设备也可以称为无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)设备，是一种为终端设备提供无线通信功能的设备。接入网设备例如包括但不限于：5G中的下一代基站(generation nodeB，gNB)、演进型节点B(evolved node B，eNB)、基带单元(baseband unit，BBU)、收发点(transmitting and receiving point，TRP)、发射点(transmitting point，TP)、未来移动通信系统中的基站或WiFi系统中的接入点等。接入网设备还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network，CRAN)场景下的无线控制器、集中单元(centralized unit，CU)，和/或分布单元(distributed unit，DU)，或者网络设备可以为中继站、车载设备以及未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)网络中的网络设备等。
用户设备，也称为终端装置或者终端，又或者终端设备，包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，例如可以包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的处理设备。该终端装置可以经无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)与核心网进行通信，与RAN交换语音和/或数据。该终端装置可以包括用户设备(user equipment，UE)、无线终端装置、移动终端装置、设备到设备通信(device-to-device，D2D)终端装置、V2X终端装置、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine/machine-type communications，M2M/MTC)终端装置、物联网(internet of things，IoT)终端装置、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)，移动站(mobile station)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point，AP)、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、飞行器(如无人机、热气球、民航客机等)或用户装备(user device)等。例如，可以包括移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)，具有移动终端装置的计算机，便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的移动装置等。例如，个人通信业务(personal communication service，PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol，SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、等设备。还包括受限设备，例如功耗较低的设备，或存储能力有限的设备，或计算能力有限的设备等。例如包括条码、射频识别(radio frequency identification，RFID)、传感器、全球定位系统(global positioning system，GPS)、激光扫描器等信息传感设备。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，放置或安装在车辆上的车载装置还可以包括可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、 服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上，或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备，更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能，例如：智能手表或智能眼镜等，以及只专注于某一类应用功能，需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用，如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
此外，本申请实施例还可以适用于面向未来的其他通信技术。本申请描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请的技术方案，并不构成对本申请提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本申请提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
由于终端的移动性，终端可能从一个小区的覆盖范围移动到另一个小区的覆盖范围，为了保证终端的业务连续性和通信质量，终端会进行小区重选(reselection)或者小区切换(handover)。小区重选和小区切换都需要终端进行小区测量，也就是终端进行RRM测量。
网络设备可将SSB或者CSI-RS作为波束信号进行相邻小区的测量。网络设备可配置测量gap，例根据所配置的测量gap进行RRM测量。例如网络设备可以配置SMTC的周期、SMTC的持续时间，以及SMTC的偏移值，终端可根据SMTC的周期、SMTC的持续时间，以及SMTC的偏移值确定小区测量时间。进而终端根据小区测量时间，以及测量切换时间确定测量gap。例如在第三代移动通信标准化伙伴项目(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)的第15个版本的38系列协议定义的过程中，高频段的情况下，单个测量切换时间定义为0.25ms，低频段的情况下，单个测量切换时间为0.5ms。
当前通信系统，例如长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统应用于小于52.6GHz的载波频段。数据的子载波宽度(也可称为子载波间隔(subcarrier spaceing，SCS))可以为15KHz、30KHz、60KHz、120KHz。SCS是正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)系统中，频域上相邻的两个子载波的中心位置或峰值位置之间的间隔值。关于SCS可参考如下的表1：
表1
μ Δf＝2 μ×15[kHz]
0 15
1 30
2 60
3 120
4 240
其中，μ用于指示子载波间隔，例如，μ＝0时，子载波间隔为15kHz，μ＝1时，子载波间隔为30kHz。在NR系统中，可支持大于或等于52.6GHz的载波频段，由于载波频率更高，所以支持更大的子载波间隔，例如可支持的子载波的宽度可包括240KHz、480KHz、960KHz、1920KHz、3840KHz等。
不同的子载波间隔对应的一个时隙的长度是不同的，15kHz的子载波间隔对应的一个时隙的长度为0.5ms，60kHz的子载波间隔对应的一个时隙的长度为0.125ms，等等。从这个角度来说，μ可以认为是确定一个OFDM子载波信号的频域宽度和时域长度的参数。在NR系统中，引入了“Numerology”用于确定OFDM子载波信号的频域宽度和时域宽度，其中，μ可以认为是Numerology的配置索引，所以也可以认为NR系统支持多种Numerology。 为了便于描述，下文中将Numerology称为参数集，即表示用于确定OFDM子载波信号的频域宽度和时域宽度的参数。
对于一个子载波，可配置一个SMTC。由于SSB是网络设备基于波束发送的，不同的波束对应不同的小区覆盖区域，也对应不同的SSB，所以不同的SSB可对应不同的SMTC。在LTE系统中，SMTC的周期可以是5ms，10ms，20ms，40ms，80ms，160ms，具体取值可以由系统消息进行配置。SMTC的持续时间可为1ms，2ms，3ms，4ms或5ms。SMTC的偏移值可以为{0，1，…，SMTC的周期-1}ms。随着数据的子载波宽度的增大，SSB的持续时间长度减小，例如数据的子载波宽度为240KHz，SSB的持续时间为2.25ms，数据的子载波宽度为480KHz，SSB的持续时间为1.125ms。
在一些实施例中，对于低频的测量，测量gap包括3ms，4ms或6ms；对于高频的测量，测量gap可为1.5ms，3.5ms或5.5ms。具体测量gap可通过如表2所述的测量pattern配置。

且由于支持演进的通用陆面无线接入与新空口双连接(E-UTRA NR dual connectivity，EN-DC)架构的终端，可以具有两套收发系统。对于处于EN-DC架构下的终端，例如该终端的服务小区为LTE小区，如果该终端要对相应的NR小区进行测量，则如果LTE基站识别出该终端仅做异系统测量(即，仅测量NR小区，而不测量其他的LTE小区)，并且所要测量的频率与当前的服务小区的频率属于终端支持的EN-DC频率组合，则LTE基站可以不为终端配置测量gap。具体的终端的测量gap配置可参考表3和表4，针对不同的频段配置不同的值。
其中，低频段位于0～7.125GHz的FR1(frequency range1，可记为FR1)，较高频段位于7.125GHz～52.6GHz(frequency range2，可记为FR2)，相对而言，大于52.6GHz-100GHz的频段记为FR3。E-UTRA表示LTE网络。non-NR RAT表示不是5G的网络，包含4G，3G和2G网络。从表3和表4中可以看出，当FR1测量FR1的时候，需要测量Gap；或者FR2测量FR2的时候需要测量gap，其他情况不需要测量gap。

表4 测量gap在5G独立组网中的应用
Figure PCTCN2021097975-appb-000004
在NR系统中，由于载波频率更高，所以支持更大的子载波间隔，例如可支持的子载波宽度包括240KHz、480KHz、960KHz、1920KHz、3840KHz。这种情况下，如果沿用120KHz以下配置的gap，显然测量时间较长，导致资源的浪费。
鉴于此，本申请实施例提供了一种测量配置方法及通信装置，在大于120KHz的SCS的应用场景下，配置更小的测量gap，以尽量节约系统资源。
本申请实施例提供的两种技术方案均可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、第五代(5th generation，5G)系统，如新无线(new radio， NR)系统，及下一代的通信系统，如6G系统等。当然，本申请实施例的技术方案也可以应用于其它的通信系统，只要该通信系统存在波束切换的需求即可。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例提供的方案进行详细介绍。
应理解，本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“至少一个”是指一个或者多个，“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“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的情况，其中A，B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达，是指的这些项中的任意组合，包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如，a，b或c中的至少一项(个)，可以表示：a，b，c，a和b，a和c，b和c或a、b和c，其中a，b，c可以是单个，也可以是多个。
以及，除非有相反的说明，本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分，不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如，第一消息和第二消息，只是为了区分不同的消息，而并不是表示这两种消息的优先级、发送顺序或者重要程度等的不同。
另外，本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”，仅仅是一种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。另外，本文中字符“/”，一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
应理解，在本申请实施例中，“与A相应的B”表示B与A相关联，根据A可以确定B。但还应理解，根据A确定B并不意味着仅仅根据A确定B，还可以根据A和/或其它信息确定B。
请参见图3，为本申请实施例提供的测量配置方法的一种流程示意图，在下文的介绍过程中，以该方法应用于图2所示的通信系统为例。另外，该方法可由两个通信装置执行，这两个通信装置例如为第一通信装置和第二通信装置。为了便于介绍，在下文中，以该方法由网络设备和终端执行为例，且以网络设备是基站为例，也就是，以第一通信装置是终端，第二通信装置是基站为例。
具体的，本申请实施例提供的测量配置方法的流程描述如下。
S301、基站生成测量配置信息，所述测量配置信息用于配置测量间隔参数和同步信号测量窗口的时间长度，该测量间隔参数用于终端测量待测量的参考信号，该同步信号测量窗口的时间长度用于确定小区测量时间。
在本申请实施例中，待测量的参考信号可以包括SS和/或CSI-RS，当然还可能包括其他的参考信号。终端通过测量SS可以完成与小区的同步等工作。CSI-RS是基于小区的参考信号，可以用于信道质量指示(channel quality indicator，CQI)、预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator，PMI)、秩指示(rank indication，RI)等信息的测量。在一些实施例中，空闲(idle)态的终端和连接(connected)态的终端都可以基于SS进行测量，另外，连接态的终端除了可以基于SS进行测量之外，还可以基于CSI-RS进行测量。但终端在测量CSI-RS之前需要先通过测量SS来获取小区的同步，即获取小区的时间信息，否则终端无法知道CSI-RS的出现位置，无法进行测量。终端通过对SS的测量获取小区的时间信息，从而完成对后面出现的CSI-RS的测量。应理解，待测量的参考信号可以是所述基站发送的参考信号，还可以包括除所述基站之外的其他网络设备发送的参考信号。
测量间隔参数可包括测量gap的长度(MGL)和测量gap的周期(MGRP)，以及测量 gap的时间提前量。基站可根据约定确定为终端配置测量间隔参数的取值，例如基站可配置测量间隔，也可配置测量间隔周期，还可以配置测量间隔的偏移值。需要说明的是，这里的约定可以是协议规定的，也可以是基站和终端之间的约定。
示例性的，该约定可以是服务小区配置的频段与测量间隔参数的取值的对应关系。例如，如下表5，示出了一种可能的测量间隔配置图案，即示出了MGL和MGRP的可能的取值。
表5 测量gap的配置pattern
Figure PCTCN2021097975-appb-000005
从表5和表2可以看出，表5相较于表2多了间隔图案索引为24-27时，MGL和MGRP的可能的取值，即MGL的取值可为2.5ms。当然在另一些实施例中，间隔图案索引为24-27 时，MGL的取值也可为2ms等，这里不再一一举例。
应理解，这里的SCS可以是发送参考信号的子载波宽度，如果SCS大于120kHz，例如SCS等于240kHz，也可以理解为服务小区配置的频段大于56.2GHz的情况下，如有采用间隔图案索引[0-23]配置MGL和MGRP，显然最终配置的测量gap的取值较大，会浪费测量的资源开销。为此，在本申请实施例中，可采用间隔图案索引[24-27]配置MGL和MGRP，以减小测量gap的取值，减少测量的资源开销。换句话说，在本申请实施例中，基站可根据SCS配置测量gap，即所述测量间隔与SCS相关。例如当SCS大于或等于240kHz，基站根据SCS配置的测量gap的最小取值为第一取值；当SCS小于或等于120kHz，基站根据SCS配置的测量gap的最小取值为第二取值，所述第一取值小于所述第二取值。也就是，SCS大于或等于240kHz相较于小于或等于120kHz，所配置的gap更小，从而可减少测量的资源开销。
在一些实施例中，当单个测量切换时间为0.5ms，服务小区配置的频段为FR3，MGL的最大值可为3.5ms，也就是可采用如表5中间隔图案索引[16-27]来配置测量间隔参数。基站根据表5中间隔图案索引[16-27]所配置从测量间隔参数，可用于测量如下多种小区中的任意一种小区：频段为FR3的小区，频段为FR3和FR2的小区、频段为FR3和FR1的小区、频段FR3以及E-UTRA的小区，或者频段为FR3以及FR1和FR2的小区、频段为FR3以及FR2和E-UTRA的小区、频段为FR3以及FR1和E-UTRA的小区，或者，频段为FR3、FR1、FR2以及E-UTRA的小区。基站可根据小区所在的频段来配置测量间隔，以尽量减少测量的资源开销。
示例性的，基站可配置测量间隔为第一集合中的任意一个值。该第一集合可以包括1ms、1.25ms、1.5ms、2ms、2.25ms、2.5ms、3ms、3.25ms和3.5ms中的至少两个取值。换句话说，第一集合可以为由1ms、1.25ms、1.5ms、2ms、2.25ms、2.5ms、3ms、3.25ms和3.5ms中的至少两个取值组成的集合。
例如，基站可配置测量间隔为集合1中的任意一个值。集合1可为[1ms，2.5ms，3.5ms]、[1ms，1.5ms，3.5ms]、[1ms，2.5ms，3.5ms]、[2.5ms，3.5ms]、[1.5ms，2ms，3.5ms]、[2.5ms，2ms，3.5ms]、[1ms，2ms，3ms]等，即测量间隔小于或等于3.5ms，可适用于SCS大于或等于240kHz的场景中，且可减少测量的资源开销。
又例如，基站可配置测量间隔为集合2中的任意一个值。集合2可以为[1ms，1.5ms，2ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1ms，1.5ms，2ms，2.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1.5ms，2ms，2.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1ms，1.5ms，2ms，2.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1.5ms，2ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1.5ms，2ms，2.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]或[1.5ms，2.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]等。可以理解为在已有的测量间隔的集合中增加了测量间隔的一些可能的较小取值，既可以保证大于或等于240kHz的情况下，降低测量的资源浪费，又可以兼容小于或等于120kHz的情况下的测量间隔的配置。
基站还可以根据SCS的值配置同步信号测量窗口的时间长度，即SMTC的长度。不同的SCS的取值对应SMTC的不同取值。当SCS较大时，为了尽量降低测量的开销浪费，可减小SMTC的长度。例如，在一些实施例中，当SCS等于240kHz时，SMTC的取值位于集合1；当SCS等于480kHz时，SMTC的取值位于集合2；当SCS等于960kHz时，SMTC的取值位于集合3；当SCS等于1920kHz时，SMTC取值位于集合4。集合1、集合2、集 合3以及集合4中的取值可以为如下多个集合中的任意一个或多个集合中的取值：[1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.5ms，1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.5ms，1ms，2ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms，2ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms]，以及[0.5ms，1ms，1.5ms]。集合1、集合2、集合3和集合4可包括相同的值。例如，集合1可以为[1ms，2ms，3ms]，集合2可以为[0.5ms，1ms，2ms]，集合3可以为[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms]。集合1、集合2和集合3以及集合4分别包括不同的值，这样可降低协议设计的难度，节省配置测量间隔参数的开销和资源。
基站还可以根据频段或SCS配置SMTC的长度，不同的载波或频段的取值对应SMTC的不同取值。当载波或频段较大时，为了尽量降低测量的开销浪费，可减小SMTC的长度。例如，在一些实施例中，当载波或频段为FR3时，SMTC的取值位于集合1；当载波或频段为FR2时，SMTC的取值位于集合3。当集合1中的取值可以为如下多个集合中的任意一个或多个集合中的取值：[1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.5ms，1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.5ms，1ms，2ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms，2ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms]，以及[0.5ms，1ms，1.5ms]。集合2的值可以为[1ms，2ms，3ms，4ms，5ms]。集合1和集合2分别包括不同的值，这样可降低协议设计的难度，节省配置测量间隔参数的开销和资源。
又一示例性的，如下表6，示出了另一种可能的测量间隔配置图案，即示出了MGL和MGRP的可能的取值。
表6 测量gap的配置pattern

Figure PCTCN2021097975-appb-000007
从表6和表2可以看出，表6相较于表2多了间隔图案索引为24-35时，MGL和MGRP的可能的取值，即MGL的取值可为1.25ms。当然在另一些实施例中，间隔图案索引为24-35时，MGL的取值也可为1ms等，这里不再一一举例。
应理解，如果SCS大于120kHz，例如SCS等于240kHz，也可以理解为服务小区配置的频段大于56.2GHz的情况下，如有采用间隔图案索引[24-35]配置MGL和MGRP，显然最终配置的测量gap的取值较大，会浪费测量的资源开销。为此，在本申请实施例中，可采用间隔图案索引[24-35]配置MGL和MGRP，以减小测量gap的取值，减少测量的资源开销。
例如，当单个测量切换时间为0.25ms，服务小区配置的频段为FR3，MGL的最大值可为1.25ms，也就是可采用如表6中间隔图案索引[24-35]来配置测量间隔参数。基站根据表6中间隔图案索引[24-35]所配置从测量间隔参数，可用于测量如下多种小区中的任意一种小区：频段为FR3的小区，频段为FR3和FR2的小区、频段为FR3和FR1的小区、频段FR3以及E-UTRA的小区，或者频段为FR3以及FR1和FR2的小区、频段为FR3以及FR2和E-UTRA的小区、频段为FR3以及FR1和E-UTRA的小区，或者，频段为FR3、FR1、FR2以及E-UTRA的小区。
基站可配置的测量间隔的可能值组成的集合可以为[1.25ms，2.25ms，3.25ms，1.5ms，4ms，3ms，3.5ms，4.5ms，5.5ms，6ms]。
例如，基站可配置测量间隔为集合1中的任意一个值。集合1可为[1.25ms，2.25ms，3.25ms]、[1ms，2.25ms，3.25ms]]、[1ms，2ms，3.25ms]、[1ms，1.5ms，3.25ms]、[1.25ms，1.5ms，3.25ms]、[1.25ms，2.5ms，3.25ms]、[1.25ms，2.5ms，3.25ms]等，即测量间隔小于或等于3.25ms，可适用于SCS大于或等于240kHz的场景中，且可减少测量的资源开销。
又例如，基站可配置测量间隔为集合2中的任意一个值。集合2可以为[1.25ms，2.25ms，3.25ms，1.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1ms，2.25ms，3.25ms，1.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1ms，2ms，3.25ms，1.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1.5ms，2.25ms，3.25ms，1.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]、[1ms，2ms，1.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]，[1.25ms，2.25ms，3.25ms，1.5ms，3ms，3.5ms，4ms，5.5ms，6ms]等。可以理解为在已有的测量间隔的集合中增加了测量间隔的一些可能的较小取值，既可以保证大于或等于240kHz的情况下，降低测量的资源浪费，又可以兼容小于或等于120kHz的情况下的测量间隔的配置。
基站还可以根据SCS的值配置SMTC的长度，不同的SCS的取值对应SMTC的不同取值。当SCS较大时，为了尽量降低测量的开销浪费，可减小SMTC的长度。例如，在一些实施例中，当SCS等于240kHz时，SMTC的取值位于集合1；当SCS等于480kHz时，SMTC的取值位于集合2；当SCS等于960kHz时，SMTC的取值位于集合3；当SCS等于1920kHz时，SMTC取值位于集合4。集合1、集合2、集合3以及集合4中的取值可以为如下多个集合中的任意一个或多个集合中的取值：[1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.5ms，1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.5ms，1ms，2ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms，2ms，3ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms，2ms]、[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms]，以及[0.5ms，1ms，1.5ms]。集合1、集合2、集合3和集合4可包括相同的值。例如，集合1可以为[1ms，2ms，3ms]，集合2可以为[0.5ms，1ms，2ms]，集合3可以为[0.25ms，0.5ms，1ms]。集合1、集合2和集合3以及集合4分别包括不同的值，这样可降低协议设计的难度，节省配置测量间隔参数的开销和资源。
S302、基站向终端发送测量配置信息，终端接收该测量配置信息。
基站为终端配置测量间隔参数后，可向终端发送测量配置信息，该测量配置信息可包括基站为终端配置的测量间隔参数。例如基站为终端配置了测量间隔、测量间隔周期，则测量配置信息包括测量间隔、测量间隔周期，而如果基站为终端还配置了测量间隔的偏移值，则测量配置信息还包括测量间隔的偏移值。
其中，如果测量配置信包括测量间隔、测量间隔周期，则基站可通过一条消息将测量间隔、测量间隔周期发送给终端，这样可以节省传输资源。或者基站也可通过不同的消息分别将测量间隔、测量间隔周期发送给终端。如果基站通过不同的消息分别将测量间隔、测量间隔周期发送给终端，则基站可以同时发送测量间隔、测量间隔周期，或者先发送测量间隔，之后再发送测量间隔周期。
在一些实施例中，测量配置信息可以承载在物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)、剩余最小系统信息(remaining minimum system information，RMSI)、系统信息块(system information block，SIB)1、SIB2、SIB3，媒体接入控制元素(media access control-control element，MAC-CE)、下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)、无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)以及系统消息中的任意一项中。
终端设备接收测量配置信息后，即可根据测量配置信息启动相应的测量间隔，下面进行介绍。
S303、终端根据测量配置信息包括的测量间隔参数以及同步信号测量窗口的时间长度确定测量间隔的时间信息，并对所述待测量的参考信号进行测量。
测量间隔参数可包括测量间隔，测量间隔周期，以及测量间隔的偏移量等，其中，测量间隔，测量间隔周期以及测量间隔的偏移量可用来确定测量间隔的时间信息。需要说明 的是，基站和终端都需要确定测量间隔的时间信息，在确定测量间隔的时间信息后，基站可知道终端何时启动测量间隔，而终端也可以在确定的位置启动测量间隔。
本申请实施例中所述的终端启动测量间隔，可以是指终端中断在终端的服务小区的工作频点内收发数据，即终端中断在终端的服务小区的工作频点中的工作，而开始到其他频点测量参考信号。至于在一个测量间隔中终端究竟在哪个频点测量待测量的参考信号，可以由终端自行选择。例如基站预先为终端指示了除终端的服务小区的工作频带(或中心频点)之外的多个频点，则终端启动一个测量间隔后，可以在该测量间隔中选择在基站指示的至少一个频点中测量待测量的参考信号。
终端可根据测量间隔的长度、测量间隔的周期，测量间隔的偏移量等确定测量间隔的时间信息，例如测量间隔的偏移量为0，那么测量间隔的起始位置和测量间隔的周期的起始位置是同一位置。下个周期的测量间隔与本周期的测量间隔仅相隔一个周期。若测量间隔的偏置为δ，则下个周期的测量间隔与本周期的测量间隔相隔一个(周期+δ)。
终端确定测量间隔的时间信息后，在确定的测量间隔的起始位置启动测量间隔，并在所启动的测量间隔中测量参考信号。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可配置更小的测量间隔的长度，例如在SCS大于或等于240kHz的情况下，可配置测量间隔的长度为1.25ms，这样可尽量节约终端进行小区测量的资源开销。
上述本申请提供的实施例中，分别从终端、网络设备，以及终端和网络设备之间交互的角度对本申请实施例提供的方法进行了介绍。为了实现上述本申请实施例提供的方法中的各功能，终端、网络设备可以包括硬件结构和/或软件模块，以硬件结构、软件模块、或硬件结构加软件模块的形式来实现上述各功能。
