Claim 5:
6. An apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory storage medium storing program instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, the program instructions cause the apparatus to perform a method that comprises:
sending an activation command to a terminal device, wherein the activation command for activating a secondary cell,
sending first configuration information of a first reference signal to the terminal device, wherein the first reference signal is a temporary reference signal for activating the secondary cell,
sending the first reference signal to the terminal device, and
wherein the first configuration information comprises a reference signal sending time, wherein the reference signal sending time of the first reference signal is a relative time difference between a time at which the one or more processors send the first reference signal and a time at which the one or more processors send the activation command, or is a time at which the one or more processors send the first reference signal, and wherein the first configuration information further comprises at least one of the following information:
a reference signal sending indication,
a reference signal period,
a reference signal time domain resource location,
a reference signal frequency domain resource location, and
a reference signal configuration index, wherein the reference signal configuration index indicates a location of reference signal configuration information.
