Abstract

Example measurement methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving first information and second information from a network device by a terminal device. The terminal device determines a first resource based on the first information, and determines a second resource based on the second information. Further, the terminal device determines a third resource based on the first resource and the second resource, and performs measurement on the third resource. The third resource includes a part of or all resources in the first resource except a first overlapping resource, and the first overlapping resource is an overlapping resource of the first resource and the second resource.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A measurement method, wherein the measurement method comprises:
receiving first information and second information from a network device;
determining a first resource based on the first information;
determining a second resource based on the second information, wherein the second information is configuration information of a rate matching resource, and the second resource is the rate matching resource;
determining a third resource based on the first resource and the second resource, wherein the third resource is a resource that is in the first resource and that does not overlap a fourth resource, wherein the fourth resource comprises a resource in a first frequency domain range and a first time domain symbol of the first resource, wherein the first time domain symbol is a time domain symbol in a time domain resource corresponding to a first overlapping resource, and wherein the first overlapping resource is an overlapping resource of the first resource and the second resource; and
performing measurement on the third resource.

2. The measurement method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first frequency domain range comprises a frequency domain range in which a second overlapping resource is located, and
the second overlapping resource is an overlapping resource in the first time domain symbol of the first overlapping resource.

3. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein the fourth resource further comprises a resource in the first frequency domain range and a second time domain symbol of the first resource, and wherein the second time domain symbol is a time domain symbol in a time domain code division multiplexing (CDM) relationship with the second overlapping resource.

4. The measurement method according to claim 2 , wherein:
when the measurement is a broadband measurement, the first frequency domain range is a frequency domain range corresponding to the first resource; or
when the measurement is a subband measurement, the first frequency domain range is a frequency domain range corresponding to a subband in which the second overlapping resource is located.

5. The measurement method according to claim 1 , wherein:
a time domain resource of the first resource is not later than a time domain location of a channel state information (CSI) reference resource corresponding to a CSI report.

6. The measurement method according to claim 5 , wherein the measurement method further comprises:
receiving third information from the network device, wherein the third information indicates a value of K.

7. An apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and storing program instructions for execution by the one or more processors to:
send first information and second information, wherein the first information indicates a first resource, and the second information indicates a second resource, wherein the second information is configuration information of a rate matching resource, and the second resource is the rate matching resource;
determine a third resource based on the first resource and the second resource, wherein the third resource is a resource that is in the first resource and that does not overlap a fourth resource, wherein the fourth resource comprises a resource in a first frequency domain range and a first time domain symbol of the first resource, wherein the first time domain symbol is a time domain symbol in a time domain resource corresponding to a first overlapping resource, and wherein the first overlapping resource is an overlapping resource of the first resource and the second resource; and
send a measurement signal on the third resource, or determining not to send a signal on the third resource.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the first frequency domain range comprises a frequency domain range in which a second overlapping resource is located, and
the second overlapping resource is an overlapping resource in the first time domain symbol of the first overlapping resource.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the fourth resource further comprises a resource in the first frequency domain range and a second time domain symbol of the first resource, and wherein the second time domain symbol is a time domain symbol in a time domain code division multiplexing CDM relationship with the second overlapping resource.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein:
when a measurement on the third resource is a broadband measurement, the first frequency domain range is a bandwidth corresponding to the first resource; or
when a measurement on the third resource is a subband measurement, the first frequency domain range is a frequency domain range corresponding to a subband in which the second overlapping resource is located.

11. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein:
a time domain resource of the first resource is not later than a time domain location of a CSI reference resource corresponding to a channel state information (CSI) report.

12. An apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and storing program instructions for execution by the one or more processors to:
receive first information and second information from a network device;
determine a first resource based on the first information;
determine a second resource based on the second information, wherein the second information is configuration information of a rate matching resource, and the second resource is the rate matching resource;
determine a third resource based on the first resource and the second resource, wherein the third resource is a resource that is in the first resource and that does not overlap a fourth resource, wherein the fourth resource comprises a resource in a first frequency domain range and a first time domain symbol of the first resource, wherein the first time domain symbol is a time domain symbol in a time domain resource corresponding to a first overlapping resource, and wherein the first overlapping resource is an overlapping resource of the first resource and the second resource; and
perform measurement on the third resource.

13. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein
the first frequency domain range comprises a frequency domain range in which a second overlapping resource is located, and

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the fourth resource further comprises a resource in the first frequency domain range and a second time domain symbol of the first resource, and wherein the second time domain symbol is a time domain symbol in a time domain code division multiplexing (CDM) relationship with the second overlapping resource.

15. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein:
when the measurement is a broadband measurement, the first frequency domain range is a frequency domain range corresponding to the first resource; or
when the measurement is a subband measurement, the first frequency domain range is a frequency domain range corresponding to a subband in which the second overlapping resource is located.

16. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:
