Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device in a communication node used for wireless communications. A communication node receives a first signaling; the first signaling being used to determine a first measurement configuration set, the first measurement configuration set being associated with a first index; and receives a second signaling, the second signaling being used to determine a first conditional configuration set, the first conditional configuration set comprising the first index; when the first conditional configuration set comes from a first entity, performs a measurement according to the first measurement configuration set; when the first conditional configuration set comes from a second entity, performs a measurement according to a second measurement configuration set. The present application can support simultaneous CPC configurations by both MN and SN.

Claims (34)

1 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive a first measurement configuration set that is associated with a first index, and

receive signaling that indicates a conditional configuration set comprising the first index,

wherein the UE is configured to modify a first stored conditional configuration set according to the signaling in response to receiving the signaling from a first entity, and modify a second stored conditional configuration set according to the signaling in response to receiving the signaling from a second entity,

wherein the UE is configured to perform a measurement according to the first measurement configuration set in response to receiving the signaling from the first entity, and perform the measurement according to a second measurement configuration set in response to receiving the signaling from the second entity,

wherein the first measurement configuration set and the second measurement configuration set are different.

2 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to set a first measurement configuration storage space in response to receiving the first measurement configuration set.

3 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the first measurement configuration set is identified by the first index, and the first index comprises all or part of a measId field.

4 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the first measurement configuration set comprises a second index, the second index is associated with the first index, and the first index comprises a measId field and the second index comprises a condReconfigId.

5 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the signaling from the first entity includes:

receiving the signaling via a Signaling Radio Bearer3 (SRB3),

receiving the signaling by a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message that is embedded in another RRC message, which is received via an SRB1,

the signaling is configured by the first entity, or

the signaling is generated by the first entity.

6 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the first entity comprises a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), while the second entity comprises a Master Cell Group (MCG), or the first entity comprises a Secondary Node (SN), while the second entity comprises a Master Node (MN).

7 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the first index is a non-negative integer; the first index is no greater than 64.

8 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the modifying includes adding, deleting or replacing.

9 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the signaling received from the first entity indicates that the conditional configuration set comes from the first entity, and the signaling received from the second entity indicates that the conditional configuration set comes from the second entity.

10 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the first index indicates that the conditional configuration set comes from the first entity or the second entity.

11 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the first conditional configuration set comprises a field that indicates that the conditional configuration set comes from the first entity or comes from the second entity.

12 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the second measurement configuration set is associated with the first index.

13 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the second measurement configuration set is a measurement configuration set in a first measurement configuration storage space.

14 . A base station, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a first measurement configuration set that is associated with a first index and transmit signaling that indicates a conditional configuration set comprising the first index,

wherein a first stored conditional configuration set is modified according to the signaling in response to the signaling being received from a first entity, and a second stored conditional configuration set is modified according to the signaling in response to the signaling being received from a second entity,

wherein a measurement is performed according to the first measurement configuration set in response to the signaling being received from the first entity, and a measurement is performed according to a second measurement configuration set in response to the signaling being received from the second entity, and the first measurement configuration set and the second measurement configuration set are different.

15 . The base station according to claim 14 , wherein the signaling being received from the first entity indicates that the conditional configuration set comes from the first entity, and the signaling being received from the second entity indicates that the conditional configuration set comes from the second entity.

16 . A method, comprising:

receiving a first measurement configuration set that is associated with a first index;

receiving a signaling that indicates a conditional configuration set comprising the first index;

modifying a first stored conditional configuration set according to the signaling in response to receiving the signaling from a first entity, and modifying a second stored conditional configuration set according to the signaling in response to receiving the signaling from a second entity; and

performing a measurement according to the first measurement configuration set in response to receiving the signaling from the first entity, and performing the measurement according to a second measurement configuration set in response to receiving the signaling from the second entity,

wherein the first measurement configuration set and the second measurement configuration set are different.
