Abstract

Provided are a method for configuring measurement information, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes: a terminal device receives measurement information transmitted by a network device, where the measurement information includes at least one physical-layer Cell identity PCI; the terminal device determines at least one cell according to the above mentioned at least one PCI; and the terminal device measures signal quality of the above mentioned at least one cell. In embodiments of the present application, the measurement information configured by the network device for the terminal device can enable the terminal device to determine at least one cell directly according to at least one PCI in the measurement information, and then to perform the measurement of signal quality based on the at least one determined cell.

Claims (30)

1. A method for configuring measurement information, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, measurement information transmitted by a network device, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one physical-layer Cell identity (PCI); and

determining, by the terminal device, at least one cell according to the at least one PCI;

measuring, by the terminal device, signal quality of the at least one cell;

when the terminal device is in a connected state, the measurement information comprises first information corresponding to the at least one PCI, wherein the first information comprises an identity of at least one cell group to which the at least one cell belongs; and

when the terminal device is in an idle state, the measurement information comprises a first frequency corresponding to the at least one PCI, wherein a priority of the first frequency is higher than a priority of a current camping frequency of the terminal device; and performing by the terminal device, cell selection and reselection according to measurement results of the at least one cell, wherein for a cell reselection process, different first frequencies are configured with different priorities.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement information is related to a situation of a radio resource control (RRC) connection between the terminal device and the network device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement information comprises:

information for the terminal device in a connected state to determine the at least one cell, and/or information for the terminal device in an idle state to determine the at least one cell.

4. A method for configuring measurement information, comprising:

generating, by a network device, measurement information, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one physical-layer Cell identity (PCI), and wherein the at least one PCI is used for a terminal device to determine at least one cell of which signal quality needs to be measured; and

transmitting, by the network device, the measurement information to the terminal device;

when the terminal device is in a connected state, the measurement information comprises first information corresponding to the at least one PCI, wherein the first information comprises an identity of at least one cell group to which the at least one cell belongs; and

when the terminal device is in an idle state, the measurement information comprises a first frequency corresponding to the at least one PCI, wherein a priority of the first frequency is higher than a priority of a current camping frequency of the terminal device; and performing by the terminal device, cell selection and reselection according to measurement results of the at least one cell, wherein for a cell reselection process, different first frequencies are configured with different priorities.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the generating, by a network device, measurement information comprises:

generating, by the network device, the measurement information according to a situation of a radio resource control (RRC) connection between the terminal device and the network device.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the measurement information comprises:

information for the terminal device in a connected state to determine the at least one cell, and/or information for the terminal device in an idle state to determine the at least one cell.

7. A terminal device, comprising a processor, configured to call and run a computer program from a memory, wherein the computer program comprises:

instructions for:

controlling a transceiver to receive measurement information transmitted by a network device, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one physical-layer Cell identity (PCI); and

determining at least one cell according to the at least one PCI; and

measure signal quality of the at least one cell;

when the terminal device is in a connected state, the measurement information comprises first information corresponding to the at least one PCI, wherein the first information comprises an identity of at least one cell group to which the at least one cell belongs; and

when the terminal device is in an idle state, the measurement information comprises a first frequency corresponding to the at least one PCI, wherein a priority of the first frequency is higher than a priority of a current camping frequency of the terminal device; and performing by the terminal device, cell selection and reselection according to measurement results of the at least one cell, wherein for a cell reselection process, different first frequencies are configured with different priorities.

8. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the measurement information is related to a situation of a radio resource control (RRC) connection between the terminal device and the network device.

9. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the measurement information comprises:

information for the terminal device in a connected state to determine the at least one cell, and/or information for the terminal device in an idle state to determine the at least one cell.

10. A network device, comprising:

a processor, configured to call and run a computer program from a memory, wherein the computer program comprises: instructions for performing the method according to claim 4 .
