Measurement method, user equipment, and network side device

A measurement method, performed by a network side device, comprising:

• sending first measurement configuration information to user equipment, wherein the first measurement configuration information specifies a measurement to be performed by the user equipment in an inactive mode or an idle mode different from the inactive mode to obtain a measurement result;
• wherein:
• the first measurement configuration information is used at least in the inactive mode, and the inactive mode and the idle mode are non-connected modes;
• and
• a predetermined action is taken on the first measurement configuration information and the measurement result by the user equipment, when the user equipment switches from the inactive mode to the idle mode and a measurement timer does not expire.

User equipment, comprising:

• a memory storing a computer program;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the computer program to perform operations comprising:
• receiving first measurement configuration information sent by a network side device, wherein the first measurement configuration information specifies a measurement to be performed by the user equipment;
• performing the measurement when the user equipment is in an inactive mode or an idle mode different from the inactive mode based on the first measurement configuration information, to obtain a measurement result, wherein the first measurement configuration information is used at least in the inactive mode, wherein the inactive mode and the idle mode are non-connected modes;
• and
• when the user equipment switches from the inactive mode to the idle mode and a measurement timer does not expire, taking a predetermined action on the first measurement configuration information and the measurement result.
