Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, device and computer readable medium for new radio management measurement. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device may transmit collocation information of component carriers to the terminal device. The terminal device may perform communication measurements based on the collocation information. In this way, the measurement effort and burden of the terminal device may be reduced while flexibility of the network deployment is stilled maintained.
Claims32
A communication method, comprising:
- determining a first direction of beams associated with at least one component carrier;
- determining collocation information of the at least one component carrier based on the first direction, the collocation information being associated with at least one radio link monitoring reference signal and indicating whether the at least one component carrier being collocated;
- and
- transmitting, to a terminal device, the collocation information or information of the first direction of beams associated the at least one component carrier.
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, from a network device, collocation information of at least one component carrier or information of a first direction beams associated with of the at least one component carrier, the collocation information being associated with at least one radio link monitoring reference signal and indicating whether the at least one component carrier being collocated;
- determining a requirement of communication measurement of the at least one component carrier based on the collocation information and/or the information of the first direction of beams;
- and
- performing the communication measurement on the at least one component carrier based on the determined requirement.
A network device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the network device to perform:
- determining a first direction of beams associated with at least one component carrier;
- determining collocation information of the at least one component carrier based on the first direction, the collocation information being associated with at least one radio link monitoring reference signal and indicating whether the at least one component carrier being collocated;
- and
- transmitting, to a terminal device, the collocation information or information of the first direction of beams associated the at least one component carrier.
A terminal device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the terminal device to perform:
- receiving, from a network device, collocation information of at least one component carrier or information of a first direction beams associated with of the at least one component carrier, the collocation information being associated with at least one radio link monitoring reference signal and indicating whether the at least one component carrier being collocated;
- determining a requirement of communication measurement of the at least one component carrier based on at least one of the collocation information and the information of the first direction of beams;
- and
- performing the communication measurement on the at least one component carrier based on the determined requirement.
