Abstract

Disclosed are a cell measurement method, a cell resource sharing method, and a related device. The cell measurement method includes: a user equipment receives a measurement configuration message sent by a base station, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises at least one physical cell identity and CSI-RS configuration information corresponding to a measured cell, and wherein the physical cell identity is used to indicate the measured cell; measuring the CSI-RS corresponding to the measured cell according to the CSI-RS configuration information, and obtaining a measurement result of the measuring; sending the obtained measurement result of the measured cell and measurement object information of the measured cell to the base station via a measurement report. The technical solution provided by the present disclosure can effectively improve the accuracy of the measurement result, and enable the base station to distinguish different measurement results corresponding to different cells.

Claims (23)

1. A cell measurement method, comprising:

sending, by a base station, a measurement configuration message to a user equipment, the measurement configuration message comprises a physical cell identity, channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information corresponding to each of a plurality of cells indicated by the physical cell identity, a layer-3 filtering parameter, and a configuration index number of the CSI-RS configuration information, wherein the CSI-RS configuration information corresponding to each of the plurality of cells indicated by the physical cell identity is different;

receiving, by the base station, a measurement report comprising a channel state information-reference signal received power (CSI-RSRP) obtained using the layer-3 filtering parameter on a CSI-RS corresponding to a first cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the measurement report further comprises the configuration index number of the CSI-RS configuration information corresponding to the first cell; and

performing, by the base station, mobility management according to the CSI-RSRP.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

updating, by the base station, a coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) measurement set of the user equipment according to the measurement report; and

sending, by the base station, the updated CoMP measurement set to the user equipment.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration message further comprises measurement reporting mode indication information, wherein the measurement reporting mode indication information is used to indicate the user equipment to perform measurement reporting for the first cell periodically or based on event.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the measurement configuration message further comprises CSI-RSRP measurement indication information, wherein the CSI-RSRP measurement indication information is used to indicate the UE to obtain CSI-RSRP of the first cell.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the measurement configuration message is one of a radio resource control (RRC) signaling or a media access control (MAC) signaling.

6. A base station, comprising:

a computing hardware; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing hardware, cause the base station to send a measurement configuration message to a user equipment, and the measurement configuration message comprises a physical cell identity, channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information corresponding to each of a plurality of cells indicated by the physical cell identity, and the CSI-RS configuration information corresponding to each of the plurality of cells indicated by the physical cell identity is different, a layer-3 filtering parameter, and a configuration index number of the CSI-RS configuration information, receive a measurement report comprising a channel state information-reference signal received power (CSI-RSRP) obtained using the layer-3 filtering parameter on a CSI-RS corresponding to a first cell of the plurality of cells, wherein the measurement report further comprises the configuration index number of the CSI-RS configuration information corresponding to the first cell and perform mobility management according to the CSI-RSRP.

7. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium further includes computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the computing hardware, cause the base station to carry out the method including:

updating a coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) measurement set of the user equipment according to the measurement report; and

sending the updated CoMP measurement set to the user equipment.

8. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein the measurement configuration message further comprises measurement reporting mode indication information, wherein the measurement reporting mode indication information is used to indicate the user equipment to perform measurement reporting for the first cell periodically or based on event.

9. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein:

the measurement configuration message further comprises CSI-RSRP measurement indication information, wherein the CSI-RSRP measurement indication information is used to indicate the UE to obtain CSI-RSRP of the first cell.

10. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein:

the measurement configuration message is one of a radio resource control (RRC) signaling or a media access control (MAC) signaling.
