Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for measurement information. The method, which may be implemented at a terminal device, comprises obtaining measurement information based at least in part on configurations of a master network node and a secondary network node. The terminal device is connected to the master network node and the secondary network node. The method further comprises transmitting a report including the measurement information that comprises frequency information to the master network node, in response to a failure related to the secondary network node.

Claims (23)

1. A method implemented at a terminal device connected to a master network node and a secondary network node, comprising:

obtaining measurement results based on configurations of the master network node and the secondary network node, the measurement results associated with serving frequencies configured by the master network node and the secondary network node; and

in response to a failure related to the secondary network node to which the terminal device was connected, transmitting, to the master network node, a report including the measurement results and frequency information associated with the secondary network node, wherein the frequency information comprises information about a frequency location of a synchronization signal and a frequency location of a reference signal wherein the frequency location of the synchronization signal is provided by a first new radio, NR, absolute radio frequency channel number, ARFCN, ARFCN-ValueNR, and the frequency location of the reference signal is provided by a second ARFCN-ValueNR, wherein the report indicates an association between a serving frequency configured by the secondary network node and measurement result associated with the serving frequency.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency information further comprises an offset of a synchronization signal block.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a second frequency location of the reference signal comprises a reference location from which a channel state information-reference signal frequency location is derivable.

4. An apparatus implemented in a terminal device connected to a master network node and a secondary network node, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories comprising computer program codes,

the one or more memories and the computer program codes configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the apparatus at least to:

obtain measurement results based on configurations of the master network node and the secondary network node, the measurement results associated with serving frequencies configured by the master network node and the secondary network node; and

in response to a failure related to the secondary network node to which the terminal device was connected, transmit, to the master network node, a report including the measurement results and frequency information associated with the secondary network node, wherein the frequency information comprises information about a frequency location of a synchronization signal and a frequency location of a reference signal wherein the frequency location of the synchronization signal is provided by a first new radio, NR, absolute radio frequency channel number, ARFCN, ARFCN-ValueNR, and the frequency location of the reference signal is provided by a second ARFCN-ValueNR, wherein the report indicates an association between a serving frequency configured by the secondary network node and measurement result associated with the serving frequency.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a second frequency location of the reference signal comprises a reference location from which a channel state information-reference signal frequency location is derivable.

6. A method implemented at a master network node, comprising:

receiving, in response to a failure related to a secondary network node to which a terminal device is connected, from the terminal device, a report including frequency information associated with the secondary network node and measurement results based on configurations of the master network node and the secondary network node, the measurement results associated with serving frequencies configured by the master network node and the secondary network node, wherein the frequency information comprises information about a frequency location of a synchronization signal and a frequency location of a reference signal wherein the frequency location of the synchronization signal is provided by a first new radio, NR, absolute radio frequency channel number, ARFCN, ARFCN-ValueNR, and the frequency location of the reference signal is provided by a second ARFCN-ValueNR, wherein the report indicates an association between a serving frequency configured by the secondary network node and measurement result associated with the serving frequency.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the frequency information further comprises an offset of a synchronization signal block.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein a second frequency location of the reference signal comprises a reference location from which a channel state information-reference signal frequency location is derivable.

9. An apparatus implemented in a master network node, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories comprising computer program codes,

the one or more memories and the computer program codes configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the apparatus at least to:

receive, in response to a failure related to a secondary network node to which a terminal device is connected, from the terminal device, a report including frequency information associated with the secondary network node and measurement results based on configurations of the master network node and the secondary network node, the measurement results associated with serving frequencies configured by the master network node and the secondary network node, wherein the frequency information comprises information about a frequency location of a synchronization signal and a frequency location of a reference signal wherein the frequency location of the synchronization signal is provided by a first new radio, NR, absolute radio frequency channel number, ARFCN, ARFCN-ValueNR, and the frequency location of the reference signal is provided by a second ARFCN-ValueNR, wherein the report indicates an association between a serving frequency configured by the secondary network node and measurement result associated with the serving frequency.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the frequency information further comprises an offset of a synchronization signal block.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein a second frequency location of the reference signal comprises a reference location from which a channel state information-reference signal frequency location is derivable.
