Description

Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular, to a measurement method, device, equipment and readable storage medium.

Background technique

Some user equipment (User Equipment, UE) can support multiple card slots to support Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module (Multi-SIM). User devices that support Multi-SIM can connect to multiple different networks at the same time.

User equipment can be divided into the following three types according to different communication capabilities: single TX/single RX, single TX/single RX and dual TX/dual RX. .

In some possible implementations, user equipment supporting Multi-SIM can support two networks at the same time, for example, supporting a first network and a second network at the same time. The first network is a new radio (NR) network, and the second network The network is another NR or Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. Moreover, RRC connections of two networks can be performed at the same time.

In some possible implementations, when the user equipment performs measurements of the serving cell and neighboring cells in the idle state and inactive state, it is performed based on the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle, and a measurement result is obtained in each DRX cycle. The judgment of cell selection and reselection is performed based on this measurement result. For user equipment that supports MUSIM, the measurement of the second network needs to be performed according to the configuration of the measurement interval issued by the first network. During the length of the measurement interval, the connection between the user equipment and the first network is interrupted. At this time, according to some specifications, the measurement needs to be performed in the overlapped portion of the DRX and the measurement interval, which will cause a waste of network resources in the first network and reduce the performance of the UE in the second network.

For example, when the user equipment performs measurements on the second network, it must interrupt the connection with the first network. The longer the user equipment measures the second network, the longer the user equipment measures on the first network. The greater the impact on business.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement method. The application scenario of this method is that the user equipment simultaneously accesses the first network to which the first network device belongs and the second network to which the second network device belongs. The first network device in this measurement method determines the first measurement configuration based on the time domain mapping information.

Figure 2 is a flow chart of a measurement method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes steps S201-S207:

Step S201: The second network device sends the SMTC to the user equipment.

Among them, the synchronization signal block-based RRM Measurement Timing Configuration (SSB-based RRM Measurement Timing Configuration, SMTC) is a window configured by the second network device for the user equipment for synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB) measurement. User equipment only needs to perform SSB measurements within the SMTC window, but does not need to perform SSB measurements outside the window. SMTC can configure the period and offset of SMTC according to the period and offset of SSB. The user equipment measures SSB based on the SMTC window, and SMTC can be configured separately according to the SSB at different frequencies. For co-frequency measurement, the second network can configure up to two SMTC windows on one frequency point for the terminal device. For inter-frequency measurement, the second network can configure at most one SMTC window for the terminal device on each frequency point. The configuration parameters of an SMTC window include: SMTC timing: period and offset information of the SMTC window. The period of SMTC can be 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160ms.

As shown in Figure 3, based on the timing information of the first network and the timing information of the second network, the offset of the SMTC relative to the timing information of the first network is determined;

Step S203: The user equipment sends the time domain mapping information to the first network device.

In some possible implementations, the user equipment sends UAI (UE Assistance Information) signaling to the first network device, where the UAI signaling includes the time domain mapping information, or the user equipment sends wireless resources to the first network device. Control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling, the RRC signaling includes the time domain mapping information.

Step S204: The first network device determines a first measurement configuration based on the time domain mapping information.

Since the timing information of the first network and the timing information of the second network are not synchronized, the first network device can determine the SMTC under the timing information of the first network based on the offset in the time domain mapping information. starting position, and then obtain the position of each window in the SMTC under the timing information of the first network based on the window duration and measurement period in the time domain mapping information. According to the position of each window in the SMTC under the timing information of the first network, a new window that can cover all or part of the window of the SMTC is determined, and the new window is used as the first measurement in the first measurement configuration. Interval window in MG configuration.

The starting position of each window in the first measurement interval MG configuration is the same as the starting position of the corresponding window in SMTC;

The center position of each window in the first measurement interval MG configuration is the same as the center position of the corresponding window in SMTC;

The end position of each window in the first measurement interval MG configuration is the same as the end position of the corresponding window in SMTC.

In an example, the user equipment determines the time domain mapping information of the SMTC relative to the first network based on the timing information of the first network, the timing information of the second network and the SMTC, and then based on the The time domain mapping information and the second measurement interval MG configuration determine multiple recommended measurement interval MG configurations. Wherein, when multiple recommended measurement interval MG configurations are determined based on the time domain mapping information and the second measurement interval MG configuration, various adjustments may be made to the second measurement interval MG configuration based on the time domain mapping information. The method is adjusted to determine multiple recommended measurement interval MG configurations. The adjustment method may be to adjust the measurement gap offset (offset) used to configure the starting position of the measurement gap in the second measurement interval MG configuration, or to adjust the measurement time slot in the second measurement interval MG configuration.

Finally, the first measurement interval MG configuration determined based on the time domain mapping information can be configured for the user equipment.
