Abstract

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a measurement processing method and a terminal. The method includes: adjusting a measurement state of a measurement, and processing at least one of a counter or a timer that are related to the measurement, where the measurement includes a measurement of at least one of RLM or BFD, and the processing includes: resetting, continuing to run, or stopping.

Claims (61)

1. A measurement processing method performed by a terminal, comprising:

adjusting a measurement state of a measurement, wherein the measurement comprises a measurement of radio link monitoring (RLM), and during the measurement of the RLM, a counter that is related to the measurement runs; and

after adjusting the measurement state of the measurement, then processing the counter, wherein the processing comprises: resetting, continuing to run, or stopping,

wherein the adjusting a measurement state of the measurement comprises making an adjustment between any two of the following measurement states:

a first measurement state, a second measurement state, and a third measurement state, wherein the first measurement state is measurement relaxation, the second measurement state is normal measurement, and the third measurement state is measurement enhancement,

wherein the counter that is related to the measurement comprise:

a counter that is used for determining the RLF.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first measurement state satisfies at least one of the following:

a measurement period is longer than a measurement period of the second measurement state;

9. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the third measurement state satisfies at least one of the following:

a measurement period is shorter than a measurement period of the second measurement state;

a quantity of measurement samples in a fourth time is greater than a quantity of measurement samples in the second measurement state;

a measurement indication gap is shorter than a measurement indication gap of the second measurement state;

the measurement is performed in a fifth time, or a quantity of measurements in the fifth time is greater than a quantity of measurements in the second measurement state;

an upper layer indication of the measurement is provided in a sixth time, or a quantity of upper layer indications of the measurement in the sixth time is greater than a quantity of upper layer indications of the measurement in the second measurement state;
