Method and device for measuring a second beam via a second communication channel, in which a frequency domain resource of the second beam is different from a frequency resource of a first beam

A terminal, communicating with a network on a first beam via a first communication channel and comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein, the processor is configured to:
• in response to determining to measure a second beam, measure the second beam via a second communication channel, wherein a frequency domain resource of the second beam is different from a frequency domain resource of the first beam;
• determine to switch the first beam to the second beam based on a measurement result of the second beam;
• and
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• determine a second beam direction of the second communication channel in response to measuring the second beam via the second communication channel;
• in response to a distance between the second communication channel and the first communication channel being less than a preset distance, configuring a beam direction of the first communication channel as the second beam direction, and communicating with the network on the second beam via the first communication channel;
• and
• in response to the distance between the second communication channel and the first communication channel being greater than the preset distance, determining a target beam direction by scanning the beam direction of the first communication channel within a preset angle range of the second beam direction, configuring the beam direction of the first communication channel as the target beam direction, and communicating with the network on the second beam via the first communication channel.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with a computer program stored thereon, wherein when the program is executed by a processor, a method for measuring a beam is implemented, wherein a terminal communicates with a network on a first beam via a first communication channel, and the method comprises:

• in response to determining to measure a second beam, measuring the second beam via a second communication channel, wherein a frequency domain resource of the second beam is different from a frequency domain resource of the first beam;
• determining to switch the first beam to the second beam based on a measurement result of the second beam;
• and
• communicating with the network on the second beam via the first communication channel in response to the first beam being switched to the second beam;
• wherein communicating with the network on the second beam via the first communication channel comprises:
• determining a second beam direction of the second communication channel in response to measuring the second beam via the second communication channel;
• in response to a distance between the second communication channel and the first communication channel being less than a preset distance, configuring a beam direction of the first communication channel as the second beam direction, and communicating with the network on the second beam via the first communication channel;
• and
• in response to the distance between the second communication channel and the first communication channel being greater than the preset distance, determining a target beam direction by scanning the beam direction of the first communication channel within a preset angle range of the second beam direction, configuring the beam direction of the first communication channel as the target beam direction, and communicating with the network on the second beam via the first communication channel.
