Claim 0:
1. 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 one counting unit for the radio link monitoring operation, wherein the one counting unit comprises a radio link in-sync counter, a radio link out-of-sync counter, and a radio link failure timer,
wherein the performing the radio link monitoring operation on the plurality of BWPs through the one counting unit for the radio link monitoring operation comprises: performing, through the one counting unit, the radio link monitoring operation on all target BWPs of the plurality of target BWPs,
wherein the performing, through the one counting unit, the radio link monitoring operation on all target BWPs of the plurality of target BWPs comprises: during the radio link monitoring operation, when a radio link corresponding to any one target BWP of the plurality of target BWPs monitored by the one counting unit is in the out-of-sync state, causing the radio link out-of-sync counter of the one counting unit to count in a cumulative manner; and/or when a radio link corresponding to any one target BWP of the plurality of target BWPs monitored by the one counting unit is in the in-sync state, causing the radio link in-sync counter of the one counting unit to count in a cumulative manner,
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, and 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.
