1. A method of communications, comprising:
sending a configuration request to a network device, wherein the configuration request indicates to configure different measurement gap configurations for reference signals that occupy different time domain resources;
in response to sending the configuration request, receiving, from the network device, a correspondence between N measurement gap configurations and N reference signal groups, wherein one or more reference signals comprised in a reference signal group of the N reference signal groups occupy a same time domain resource and are used for a same measurement purpose, wherein the N reference signal groups are in a one-to-one correspondence with the N measurement gap configurations, wherein N is an integer greater than 1, and wherein, when the one or more reference signals comprised in the reference signal group are used for the same measurement purpose, the configuration request further indicates configuring different measurement gap configurations for reference signals that are used for different measurement purposes; and
for a first measurement gap configuration in the N measurement gap configurations, measuring, based on the first measurement gap configuration, one or more reference signals comprised in a first reference signal group corresponding to the first measurement gap configuration.
