Abstract

Provided are a measurement control method, a terminal device and a network device, the method comprising that: the terminal device determines a first secondary cell entering a first state, the first state being a state in which the terminal is able to implement measurement but is not able to execute data reception and transmission, and the first secondary cell being one amongst at least one secondary cell; determines a target bandwidth part BWP of the first secondary cell in the first state; and performs measurement on the target BWP.

Claims (28)

1. A method for measurement control, applied to a terminal device served by a primary cell and a plurality of secondary cells, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information;

determining a first secondary cell that is in a first state according to the configuration information, wherein the first state is a state where the terminal device is capable of performing measurement and does not perform data reception and transmission, and the first secondary cell is one of the plurality of secondary cells;

determining a target bandwidth part (BWP) for the first secondary cell in the first state; and

performing measurement on the target BWP, wherein performing measurement on the target BWP comprises at least one of: performing Channel Quality Indication (CQI) measurement on the target BWP for reporting CQI to the network device, or, performing Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement on the target BWP for reporting RRM to the network device;

wherein receiving the configuration information comprises:

receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the network device, and obtaining the configuration information carried in the RRC signaling;

wherein the RRC signaling further comprises at least two BWPs corresponding to the plurality of secondary cells configured by the network device for the terminal device;

wherein determining the target BWP for the first secondary cell that is in the first state comprises:

using a BWP on which the RRC signaling is received as the target BWP of the first secondary cell in the first state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein after receiving the RRC signaling from the network device, the method further comprises:

receiving a control instruction from the network device, wherein the control instruction is used for instructing each secondary cell of the terminal device to enter the first state.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein before determining the secondary cell that is in the first state, the method further comprises:

starting a timer when the first secondary cell is in an activated state; and

determining that the first secondary cell enters the first state when the timer expires.

4. A terminal device, wherein the terminal device is served by a primary cell and a plurality of secondary cells, and comprises:

a processor, configured to:

receive configuration information;

determine a first secondary cell that is in a first state according to the configuration information, wherein the first state is a state in which the terminal device is capable of performing measurement and does not perform data reception and transmission, and the first secondary cell is one of the plurality of secondary cells;

determine a target bandwidth part (BWP) for the first secondary cell in the first state; and

perform measurement on the target BWP, wherein the measurement on the target BWP comprises at least one of: Channel Quality Indication (CQI) measurement on the target BWP for reporting CQI to the network device, or, Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement on the target BWP for reporting RRM to the network device;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the network device, and obtain the configuration information carried in the RRC signaling;

wherein the RRC signaling further comprises at least two BWPs corresponding to the plurality of secondary cells configured by the network device for the terminal device;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

use a BWP on which the RRC signaling is received as the target BWP of the first secondary cell in the first state.

5. The terminal device of claim 4 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a control instruction from the network device, wherein the control instruction is used for instructing each secondary cell of the terminal device to enter the first state.

6. The terminal device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to: start a timer when the first secondary cell is in an activated state and determine that the first secondary cell enters the first state when the timer expires.
