The measurement identifier may associate the measurement object with the reporting configuration. That is, a measurement identifier may indicate a measurement object and a reporting configuration that are associated with the measurement identifier. For example, the measurement configuration information may include content in the following Table 1. To be specific, the measurement configuration includes a measurement identifier 1 and a first frequency and a first reporting configuration that are associated with the measurement identifier 1, a measurement identifier 2 and a second frequency and a second reporting configuration that are associated with the measurement identifier 2, and a measurement identifier 3 and a third frequency and a third reporting configuration that are associated with the measurement identifier 3. It should be understood that measurement objects associated with different measurement identifiers may be the same or different. For example, the first frequency may be the same as or different from the second frequency. Reporting configurations associated with different measurement objects may also be the same or different. For example, the second reporting configuration and the third reporting configuration are the same or different. It should be understood that measurement objects and reporting configurations associated with two different measurement identifiers are not completely the same. For example, the first frequency is the same as the second frequency, and the first reporting configuration is different from the second reporting configuration. Alternatively, the first frequency is different from the second frequency, and the first reporting configuration is the same as the second reporting configuration. Alternatively, the first frequency is different from the second frequency, and the first reporting configuration is different from the second reporting configuration.
