Abstract

A measurement configuration method, a terminal and a base station are provided. The measurement configuration method includes: receiving a first measurement configuration and a second measurement configuration, wherein the first measurement configuration includes information of a frequency of a first communication system and the second measurement configuration includes information of a frequency of a second communication system; receiving a configured measurement gap configuration.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A measurement configuration method applied to a terminal, comprising:
receiving, from a network side, a first measurement configuration and a second measurement configuration, wherein the first measurement configuration comprises measurement frequency information of a first communication system, and the second measurement configuration comprises measurement frequency information of a second communication system;
feeding back, to the network side, information as to whether a measurement gap is required for measurement of a frequency of the first communication system, and information as to whether a measurement gap is required for measurement of a frequency of the second communication system;
receiving, from the network side, a measurement gap configuration.

2. The measurement configuration method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first measurement configuration further comprises a request to determine whether a measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and the second measurement configuration further comprises a request to determine whether a measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system.

3. The measurement configuration method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving, from the network side, the first measurement configuration and the second measurement configuration comprises:
receiving the first measurement configuration transmitted by a first base station in the first communication system, and receiving the second measurement configuration transmitted by a second base station in the second communication system;
the feeding back, to the network side, the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system comprises:
feeding back, to the first base station, the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and feeding back, to the second base station, the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system;
the receiving, from the network side, the measurement gap configuration comprises:
receiving a measurement gap, configured by the first base station, of the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and receiving a measurement gap, configured by the second base station, of the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system.

4. The measurement configuration method according to claim 3 , further comprising:
after a previously presented carrier of the first communication system has been configured by the first base station for the terminal, feeding back, to the first base station, first update information of a measurement gap capability with respect to measurement of a frequency of each carrier;
receiving a measurement gap, configured by the first base station for the terminal according to the first update information, of the measurement of the frequency of each carrier at a first communication system side.

5. The measurement configuration method according to claim 4 , wherein when a measurement gap capability with respect to measurement of a frequency of a carrier at a second communication system side changes, the measurement configuration method further comprises:
transmitting, to the second base station, second update information as to whether a measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system;
receiving a measurement gap, configured by the second base station for the terminal according to the second update information, of the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system.

6. The measurement configuration method according to claim 4 , wherein when a measurement gap capability with respect to measurement of a frequency of a carrier at a second communication system side changes, the measurement configuration method further comprises:
transmitting, to the first base station, third update information as to whether a measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system;
receiving a measurement gap, configured by the first base station for the terminal according to the third update information, of the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system.

7. The measurement configuration method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving, from the network side, the first measurement configuration and the second measurement configuration comprises:
receiving the first measurement configuration transmitted by a first base station in the first communication system, and receiving the second measurement configuration transmitted by a second base station in the second communication system;
the feeding back, to the network side, the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system comprises:
feeding back, to the first base station, the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system;
the receiving, from the network side, the measurement gap configuration comprises:
receiving a measurement gap, configured by the first base station, of the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and a measurement gap, configured by the first base station, of the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system.

8. The measurement configuration method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving, from the network side, the first measurement configuration and the second measurement configuration comprises:
receiving the first measurement configuration and the second measurement configuration transmitted by a first base station in the first communication system;
the feeding back, to the network side, the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system comprises:
feeding back, to the first base station, the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and the information as to whether the measurement gap is required for the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system;
the receiving, from the network side, the measurement gap configuration comprises:
receiving a measurement gap, configured by the first base station, of the measurement of the frequency of the first communication system, and a measurement gap, configured by the first base station, of the measurement of the frequency of the second communication system.

9. The measurement configuration method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a third measurement configuration, transmitted by a first base station in the first communication system, configured for measurement of at least a portion of base stations in the second communication system;
acquiring a measurement result of at least the portion of base stations in t
