图2是本申请实施例的通信方法的一例,如图所示,该方法200包括:
S210,网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息。
具体的,该第一指示信息用于指示第一参考信号类型。进一步的,该第一指示信息用于指示终端设备对第一参考信号类型的参考信号进行第一判定,第一判定用于判定第一参考信号类型的参考信号的测量值和第一阈值之间的关系是否满足第一准则。可选的,该第一指示信息还用于指示第一阈值,或者,偏置量信息。需要说明的是,若第一指示信息用于指示偏置量信息,则可能终端设备在空闲态或非激活态已经收到过一次阈值信息,终端设备在该阈值信息的基础上结合偏置量信息用于后续的判断。可选的,该第一阈值可以为终端设备进入连接态时重新配置的第一阈值。可选的,该第一阈值可以为终端设备在空闲态时的阈值,终端设备默认使用该空闲态时的阈值继续用于判断。

在某些实施例中,网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示一种第一参考信号类型。可选的,网络设备还可以在第一指示信息以外的信息中单独向终端设备发送第一阈值信息,该第一阈值信息用于指示该第一指示信息指示的第一参考信号类型对应的第一阈值。可选的,网络设备可以不向终端设备发送第一阈值信息,由终端设备默认第一阈值。例如,在连接态时,终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示第一参考信号类型为SSB信号,若终端设备未收到第一阈值信息,则终端设备默认使用空闲态时的SSB信号对应的阈值;再例如,在连接态时,终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示第一参考信号类型为SSB信号,终端设备还接收到网络设备发送的第一阈值信息,则终端设备使用该第一阈值信息指示的第一阈值判断在使用SSB信号进行测量的测量值是否满足第一准则;又例如,在连接态时,终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示第一参考信号类型为 CSI-RS信号,终端设备还接收到网络设备发送的第一阈值信息,则终端设备使用该第一阈值信息指示的第一阈值判断在使用CSI-RS信号进行测量的测量值是否满足第一准则。需要说明的是,该第一阈值信息可以包括在系统消息中,该第一指示信息和该第一阈值信息为两条不同的消息。
在某些实施例中,网络设备向终端设备发送一个第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示一种参考信号类型和该参考信号类型对应的阈值。在一种可能的实现方式中,预定义多个字段,每个字段对应一种参考信号类型,每个字段对应一条第一指示信息,该字段的值为其对应的参考信号类型的阈值。例如,预定义两个字段,字段A和字段B,字段A对应SSB信号,字段B对应CSI-RS信号,当终端设备接收到一个第一指示信息,该第一指示信息位于字段A,则该第一指示信息用于指示使用SSB信号进行测量,字段A的值为SSB信号对应的阈值,终端设备使用字段A对应的阈值判断在使用SSB信号进行测量的测量值是否满足第一准则。
在某些实施例中,网络设备向终端设备发送两个或两个以上第一指示信息,其中,每个第一指示信息用于指示一种参考信号类型和该参考信号类型对应的阈值。例如,预定义两个字段,字段A和字段B,字段A对应SSB信号,字段B对应CSI-RS信号,当终端设备接收到两个第一指示信息,分别位于字段A和字段B,则终端设备可以从两个第一指示信息指示的参考信号类型中选择一个进行第一准则的判断。例如,当终端设备选择使用SSB信号,终端设备使用字段A对应的阈值判断在使用SSB信号进行测量的测量值是否满足第一准则;当终端设备选择使用CSI-RS信号,终端设备使用字段B对应的阈值判断在使用CSI-RS信号进行测量的测量值是否满足第一准则。
在某些实施例中,当终端设备处于连接态时,该第一指示信息可以通过广播或专用信令单独发送,该专用信令可以为无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)重配置消息,或媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)控制元素(Control Element,CE)MAC CE等消息,本申请实施例对此不做特别限定。

需要说明的是,该测量配置信息中配置了其他方面的测量需求。再例如,该终端设备在连接态时,默认使用SSB信号进行用于第一判定的测量,不需要网络设备发送第一指示信息进行第一参考信号类型的指示。
需要说明的是,若接收到第一指示信息,则不采用默认的SSB信号进行第一判定的测量,对应的,根据第一指示信息指示的第一参考信号类型对该类型的参考信号进行第一判定的测量。再例如,该终端设备在空闲态或者非激活态时,网络设备向终端设备广播第 一指示信息,可选的,该第一指示信息指示的第一参考信号类型为SSB信号,可选的,该第一指示信息指示的第一参考信号类型为CSI-RS信号。对应的,当终端设备由空闲态或者非激活态进入连接态时,可以根据空闲态时收到的第一指示信息指示的第一参考信号类型继续进行测量。

可选的,该满足静止准则的维持时间第一时间和不满足静止准则的维持时间第二时间可以通过RRC消息进行配置。可选的,该满足静止准则的维持时间第一时间和不满足静止准则的维持时间第二时间可以通过测量配置中的报告配置进行配置,即网络设备可以向终端设备同时发送第一时间和第二时间的配置信息,具体的,网络设备向终端设备同时配置第一时间和第二时间的一种方式可以为第一时间和第二时间为一个测量事件的两个触发时间。

在一种可能的实现方式中,以静止准则为例,该第一条件可以为终端设备判断对第一参考信号类型的参考信号的第一测量值和第一阈值的关系不满足静止准则公式的维持时间达到预设时间第二时间,即在第二时间内第一测量值和第一阈值的关系不满足静止准则的公式,或在第二时间内满足静止准则离开条件的公式。具体的,第二时间取值可以为0。对于静止准则离开条件将在方法400中描述,在此不再赘述。

在一种可能的实现方式中,以静止准则为例,该第一条件可以为终端设备触发某些事件上报以后即判断结束测量放松状态。
以A3事件为例,当终端设备触发A3事件上报以后,即默认结束测量放松状态。
应理解,该终端设备可以在达到第一条件后自行结束测量放松状态,该终端设备也可以在达到第一条件后向网络设备发送指示信息,该指示信息指示网络设备该终端设备达到第一条件。网络设备收到该指示信息后,可以决定是否指示终端设备结束测量放松状态,当终端设备接收到网络设备结束测量放松状态的指示后,终端设备结束测量放松状态。
