Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention are a method for activating and deactivating cell, a terminal equipment and computer storage medium, wherein the method comprises: on the basis of an instruction for activating the target band width part (BWP), activating an auxiliary cell that corresponds to the target BWP; and/or on the basis of an instruction for deactivating the target BWP, deactivating the auxiliary cell that corresponds to the target BWP.

Claims (47)

1. A method for cell activation and deactivation, applied to a terminal device, the method comprising at least one of:

activating a secondary cell corresponding to a target Bandwidth Part (BWP) based on an instruction for activating the target BWP; or

deactivating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP based on an instruction for deactivating the target BWP,

wherein the method further comprises: before activating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether to activate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

wherein determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether to activate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP comprises:

determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP is in an activated state; and

in a case that the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP is not in the activated state, determining to activate the secondary cell and to activate the target BWP for the secondary cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

configuring at least one corresponding BWP for the secondary cell, the BWP comprising at least one downlink BWP.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: before deactivating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

determining, based on the instruction for deactivating the target BWP, whether to deactivate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining, based on the instruction for deactivating the target BWP, whether to deactivate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP comprises:

when the instruction for deactivating the target BWP is received by the terminal device, determining whether there is a further BWP in the activated state for the secondary cell where the target BWP is located after the target BWP is deactivated; and

if there is not the further BWP in the activated state, deactivating the secondary cell where the target BWP is located, and if there is the further BWP in the activated state, not deactivating the secondary cell.

5. A terminal device, comprising:

a memory storing processor-executable instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the stored processor-executable instructions to perform at least one of:

activating a secondary cell corresponding to a target Bandwidth Part (BWP) based on an instruction for activating the target BWP; or

deactivating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP based on an instruction for deactivating the target BWP,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the stored processor-executable instructions to: before activating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

determine, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether to activate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

wherein determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether to activate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP comprises:

determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP is in an activated state; and

in a case that the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP is not in the activated state, determining to activate the secondary cell and to activate the target BWP for the secondary cell.

6. The terminal device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the stored processor-executable instructions to:

configure at least one corresponding BWP for the secondary cell, the BWP comprising at least one downlink BWP.

7. The terminal device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the stored processor-executable instructions to: before deactivating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

determine, based on the instruction for deactivating the target BWP, whether to deactivate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP.

8. The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein determining, based on the instruction for deactivating the target BWP, whether to deactivate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP comprises:

when the instruction for deactivating the target BWP is received by the terminal device, determining whether there is a further BWP in the activated state for the secondary cell where the target BWP is located after the target BWP is deactivated; and

if there is not the further BWP in the activated state, deactivating the secondary cell where the target BWP is located, and if there is the further BWP in the activated state, not deactivating the secondary cell.

9. A non-transitory computer storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when being executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement a method for cell activation and deactivation, the method comprising at least one of:

activating a secondary cell corresponding to a target Bandwidth Part (BWP) based on an instruction for activating the target BWP; or

deactivating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP based on an instruction for deactivating the target BWP,

wherein the method further comprises: before activating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether to activate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP,

wherein determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether to activate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP comprises:

determining, based on the instruction for activating the target BWP, whether the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP is in an activated state; and

in a case that the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP is not in the activated state, determining to activate the secondary cell and to activate the target BWP for the secondary cell.

10. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

configuring at least one corresponding BWP for the secondary cell, the BWP comprising at least one downlink BWP.

11. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 9 , wherein before deactivating the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP, the method further comprises:

determining, based on the instruction for deactivating the target BWP, whether to deactivate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP.

12. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 11 , wherein determining, based on the instruction for deactivating the target BWP, whether to deactivate the secondary cell corresponding to the target BWP comprises:

when the instruction for deactivating the target BWP is received by the terminal device, determining whether there is a further BWP in the activated state for the secondary cell where the target BWP is located after the target BWP is deactivated; and

if there is not the further BWP in the activated state, deactivating the secondary cell where the target BWP is located, and if there is the further BWP in the activated state, not deactivating the secondary cell.
