Abstract

A measurement method, a measurement configuration method, a user equipment and a base station are provided. The measurement method includes: receiving a preset indication signaling transmitted by a base station, the preset indication signaling is configured to indicate whether it is needed for the user equipment to perform a radio resource management RRM measurement; performing the RRM measurement when the preset indication signaling indicates that it is needed for the UE to perform the RRM measurement.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A measurement method, comprising:
receiving a preset indication signaling transmitted by a base station before blind-detection of a paging signal or PDCCH, wherein the preset indication signaling is configured to indicate whether it is needed for a user equipment (UE) to perform a radio resource management (RRM) measurement;
performing the RRM measurement when the preset indication signaling indicates that it is needed for the UE to perform the RRM measurement.

2. The measurement method according to claim 1 , wherein the RRM measurement comprises: RRM measurement of a current cell and/or RRM measurement of a to-be-measured target cell;
wherein the target cell is a neighboring cell of the current cell and/or a cell at a frequency different from a frequency of the current cell;
the current cell is a camp cell or a serving cell of the UE.

3. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein
when the RRM measurement comprises the RRM measurement of the current cell and the RRM measurement of the to-be-measured target cell, a same field in the preset indication signaling is used to indicate whether it is needed to perform the RRM measurement of the current cell and whether it is needed to perform the RRM measurement of the to-be-measured target cell, or different fields in the preset indication signaling are used to indicate whether it is needed to perform the RRM measurement of the current cell and whether it is needed to perform the RRM measurement of the to-be-measured target cell.

4. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein the preset indication signaling comprises at least one of: a prior indication signaling, a wake-up signaling (WUS) or a go to sleep signaling (GTS).

5. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein the receiving the preset indication signaling transmitted by the base station comprises:
receiving the preset indication signaling transmitted by the base station at a preset position;
wherein the preset position is a preset fixed position, or the preset position is a position having a preset time domain offset and/or preset frequency domain offset from a preset signaling;
wherein the preset signaling comprises at least one of: a periodic reference signaling, a prior indication signaling, a wake-up signaling (WUS), a go to sleep signaling (GTS) or a paging message.

6. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein the preset indication signaling is further configured to indicate whether it is needed for the UE to perform a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring, and the measurement method further comprises:
monitoring a PDCCH when the preset indication signaling indicates that it is needed for the UE to perform the PDCCH monitoring.

7. The measurement method according to claim 6 , wherein, after the monitoring the PDCCH, the method further comprises:
determining whether it is needed to receive a paging message according to indication information carried in the PDCCH.

8. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein the preset indication signaling is further configured to indicate whether it is needed for the UE to perform a PDCCH monitoring and a paging message reception, and the measurement method further comprises:
monitoring a PDCCH and receiving a paging message when the preset indication signaling indicates that it is needed for the UE to perform the PDCCH monitoring and the paging message reception.

9. The measurement method according to claim 8 , wherein a same field in the preset indication signaling is used to indicate whether it is needed to perform the RRM measurement and whether it is needed to perform the PDCCH monitoring and the paging message reception, or different fields in the preset indication signaling are used to indicate whether it is needed to perform the RRM measurement and whether it is needed to perform the PDCCH monitoring and the paging message reception.

10. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein, when the RRM measurement comprises the RRM measurement of the current cell, the performing the RRM measurement comprises:
acquiring a state parameter of the UE;
determining whether it is needed to perform the RRM measurement of the current cell according to the state parameter of the UE;
performing the RRM measurement of the current cell when it is determined that it is needed to perform the RRM measurement of the current cell.

11. The measurement method according to claim 10 , wherein, after the acquiring the state parameter of the UE, the method further comprises:
transmitting the state parameter of the UE to the base station, wherein the state parameter is used to transmit the preset indication signaling by the base station according to the state parameter.

12. The measurement method according to claim 10 , wherein the state parameter comprises at least one of: a type of the UE, an environment where the UE is located, mobility status information of the UE, service status information of the UE or signal coverage information of a location of the UE.

13. A measurement configuration method, comprising:
transmitting a preset indication signaling to a user equipment (UE) before blind-detection of a paging signal or PDCCH;
wherein the preset indication signaling is configured to indicate whether the UE is to perform a radio resource management (RRM) measurement.

14. The measurement configuration method according to claim 13 , wherein the transmitting the preset indication signaling to the UE comprises:
acquiring a state parameter of the UE;
acquiring the preset indication signaling according to the state parameter;
transmitting the preset indication signaling to the UE.

15. The measurement configuration method according to claim 14 , wherein the state parameter comprises at least one of: a type of the UE, an environment where the UE is located, mobility status information of the UE, service status information of the UE or signal coverage information of a location of the UE.

16. The measurement configuration method according to claim 13 , wherein the preset indication signaling comprises at least one of: a prior indication signaling, a wake-up signaling (WUS) or a go to sleep signaling (GTS).

17. The measurement configuration method according to claim 13 , wherein the transmitting the preset indication signaling to the UE comprises:
transmitting the preset indication signaling to the UE at a preset position;
wherein the preset position is a preset fixed position, or the preset position is a position having a preset time domain offset and/or preset frequency domain offset from a preset signaling;
wherein the preset signaling comprises at least one of: a periodic reference signaling, a prior indication signaling, a wake-up signaling (WUS), a go to sleep signaling (GTS) or a paging message.

18. The measurement configuration method according to claim 13 , wherein, after the transmitting the preset indication signaling to the UE, the method further comprises:
