Claim 9:
10. A radio link monitoring method performed by a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
determining configuration information for performing a radio link monitoring operation on a plurality of Bandwidth Parts (BWPs) of a system bandwidth; and
performing the radio link monitoring operation on a plurality of target BWPs among the plurality of BWPs of the system bandwidth in accordance with the configuration information,
wherein the performing the radio link monitoring operation on the plurality of target BWPs comprises: performing the radio link monitoring operation on the plurality of target BWPs through at least two counting units for the radio link monitoring operation, wherein each of the at least two counting units comprises a radio link in-sync counter, a radio link out-of-sync counter, and a radio link failure timer,
wherein there exist at least three target BWPs which are divided into one first portion and one second portion, the one first portion comprises at least one target BWP and the at least one target BWP corresponds to a first counting unit of the two counting units, and the second portion comprises at least two target BWPs and the at least two target BWPs correspond to a second counting unit of the two counting units,
wherein the performing the radio link monitoring operation on the plurality of target BWPs through the at least two counting units for the radio link monitoring operation comprises:
performing the radio link monitoring operation on the at least one target BWPs of the first portion through the first counting unit and the radio link monitoring operation on the at least two target BWPs of the second portion through the second counting unit, respectively,
wherein the radio link monitoring method further comprises:
receiving indication information from a network device, the indication information comprising one of: indication information for replacing or reconfiguring one or more BWPs for the radio link monitoring operation, or indication information for replacing or reconfiguring one or more BWPs for the radio link monitoring operation and one or more replaced or reconfigured BWPs for the radio link monitoring operation; and
performing at least one of the following processes in accordance with the indication information: resetting at least one of the radio link in-sync counter, the radio link out-of-sync counter and the radio link failure timer of the counting unit corresponding to to-be-replaced or to-be-reconfigured BWP, or not resetting any one of the radio link in-sync counter, the radio link out-of-sync counter and the radio link failure timer of the counting unit corresponding to to-be-replaced or to-be-reconfigured BWP; or stopping the radio link monitoring operation on to-be-replaced or to-be-reconfigured BWP; or performing the radio link monitoring operation on the one or more replaced or reconfigured BWPs.
