Method for calculating carrier specific scaling factor outside measurement gap and communication apparatus

Abstract

A method for calculating a carrier specific scaling factor and a communication apparatus. In an EN-DC scenario, a terminal device receives configuration information, sent by a network device, of an NR frequency, that is of service frequency inter-system measurement, non-service frequency inter-system measurement, PSCC intra-frequency measurement, SCC intra-frequency measurement, and inter-frequency measurement, where the service frequency inter-system measurement, the non-service frequency inter-system measurement, the PSCC intra-frequency measurement, the SCC intra-frequency measurement, and the inter-frequency measurement unsupported by an MG, and the terminal device calculates a CSSF outside the MG of each to-be-measured NR frequency in measurement types. Therefore, a CSSF of NR inter-system measurement is included in calculation of the CSSF outside the MG, to avoid a case in which the terminal device is unable to report a measurement result of inter-system measurement within a measurement delay.
