Abstract

A measurement configuration method, a device and a storage medium are used for resolving a problem of being unable to be covered by an MG of an existing mechanism caused by a flexible MO SMTC configuration. The method includes: a network device generates measurement configuration information for indicating a plurality of MGs ( 101 ) and transmits the measurement configuration information to a terminal device ( 102 ); and the terminal device performs a measurement according to the measurement configuration information ( 103 ), where the plurality of MGs can be a same type of MGs or different types of MGs, and measurement gaps of the plurality of MGs can cover at least one SMTC of at least one MO. By adding an MG configuration, a purpose of covering more SMTCs is achieved, and a delay problem in measurement and reporting of a terminal can be effectively reduced.

Claims (26)

1 . A measurement configuration method, comprising:

generating, by a network device, measurement configuration information, wherein the measurement configuration information is used for indicating configuration information about a plurality of measurement gaps (MGs); and

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

wherein measurement gaps of the plurality of MGs cover at least one synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) information of at least one measurement object (MO).

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of MGs comprise at least two types of MGs.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the at least two types of MGs comprise any two of a first MG applicable to a first frequency range, a second MG applicable to a second frequency range, and a third MG applicable to all frequency band ranges.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of MGs are a same type of MGs.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of time offsets, lengths, and periods of any two of the plurality of MGs are different.

6 . A terminal device, comprising a memory, a processor and a communication interface, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to invoke and run the computer program stored in the memory to:

control the communication interface to receive measurement configuration information from a network device, wherein the measurement configuration information is used for indicating configuration information about a plurality of measurement gaps (MGs); and

perform a measurement according to the measurement configuration information;

wherein measurement gaps of the plurality of MGs cover at least one synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) information of at least one measurement object (MO).

7 . The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of MGs comprise at least two types of MGs.

8 . The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the at least two types of MGs comprise any two of a first MG applicable to a first frequency range, a second MG applicable to a second frequency range, and a third MG applicable to all frequency band ranges.

9 . The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of MGs are a same type of MGs.

10 . The terminal device according to claim 9 , wherein at least one of time offsets, lengths, and periods of any two of the plurality of MGs are different.

11 . The terminal device according to claim 9 , wherein a time offset of at least one of the plurality of MGs is equal to a time offset of an SMTC of a first MO, and the first MO is any one of the at least one MO.

12 . A network device, comprising a memory, a processor and a communication interface, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to invoke and run the computer program stored in the memory to:

generate measurement configuration information, wherein the measurement configuration information is used for indicating configuration information about a plurality of measurement gaps (MGs); and

control the communication interface to transmit the measurement configuration information to a terminal device;

wherein measurement gaps of the plurality of MGs cover at least one synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) information of at least one measurement object (MO).

13 . The network device according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of MGs comprise at least two types of MGs.

14 . The network device according to claim 13 , wherein the at least two types of MGs comprise any two of a first MG applicable to a first frequency range, a second MG applicable to a second frequency range, and a third MG applicable to all frequency band ranges.

15 . The network device according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of MGs are a same type of MGs.

16 . The network device according to claim 15 , wherein at least one of time offsets, lengths, and periods of any two of the plurality of MGs are different.

17 . The network device according to claim 15 , wherein a length of at least one of the plurality of MGs is equal to a length of an SMTC of a first MO, and the first MO is any one of the at least one MO.
