Abstract

Provided are a message processing method and apparatus, a radio access network device, and a storage medium. The method includes: after receiving information about a first measurement signal of a second radio access network device reported by a terminal, a first radio access network device performing following operations: determining whether to send a first message to the second radio access network device according to obtained association information and first information, where the association information indicates association between the first measurement signal and a second measurement signal of the second radio access network device, and the first information indicates whether the second measurement signal is being sent; or sending the first message to the second radio access network device. The first message carries the information about the first measurement signal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A message processing method, comprising:
after receiving information about a first measurement signal of a second radio access network device reported by a terminal, a first radio access network device performing:
determining whether to send a first message to the second radio access network device according to association information and first information that have been obtained, wherein the association information indicates association between the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device and a second measurement signal of the second radio access network device, and the first information indicates whether the second measurement signal of the second radio access network device is being sent;
wherein the first message carries the information about the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device reported by the terminal;
wherein determining whether to send a first message to the second radio access network device according to association information and first information comprises:
determining, according to the information about the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device reported by the terminal and the association information, the second measurement signal associated with the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device reported by the terminal; and
deciding, according to the first information, whether the determined second measurement signal is being sent; in response to deciding that the determined second measurement signal is not being sent, sending the first message to the second radio access network device; and in response to deciding that the determined second measurement signal is being sent, not sending the first message to the second radio access network device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein after receiving the information about the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device reported by the terminal, the method further comprises:
sending notification information to the terminal, wherein the notification information comprises: configuration information about the second measurement signal associated with the first measurement signal reported by the terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the association information comprises one of:
a corresponding relationship between the information about the first measurement signal and information about the second measurement signal; or
a Quasi-Co-Location relationship between the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information about the first measurement signal comprises at least one of:
a beam identity of the first measurement signal; or
a time index of a synchronization signal block of the first measurement signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein information about the second measurement signal comprises at least one of:
a beam identity of the second measurement signal; or
index information of the second measurement signal.

6. A first radio access network device, comprising:
a processor configured to receive information about a first measurement signal of a second radio access network device reported by a terminal and perform:
determining whether to send a first message to the second radio access network device according to association information and first information that have been obtained, wherein the association information indicates association between the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device and a second measurement signal of the second radio access network device, and the first information indicates whether the second measurement signal of the second radio access network device is being sent; wherein the first message carries the information about the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device reported by the terminal; and
a memory coupled to the processor;
wherein the processor is further configured to determine, according to the information about the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device reported by the terminal and the association information, the second measurement signal associated with the first measurement signal of the second radio access network device reported by the terminal; and decide, according to the first information, whether the determined second measurement signal is being sent; in response to determining that the determined second measurement signal is not being sent, send the first message to the second radio access network device; and in response to determining that the determined second measurement signal is being sent, not send the first message to the second radio access network device.

7. The first radio access network device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to send notification information to the terminal, wherein the notification information comprises: configuration information about the second measurement signal associated with the first measurement signal reported by the terminal.
