1 / 63 INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD, DEVICE, EQUIPMENT AND STORAGE MEDIUM CROSS-REFERENCE ON RELATED REQUEST

[0001] This application is submitted based on and claims priority over Chinese Application No. 202310301189.7, filed on March 24, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. TECHNICAL AREA

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies and, in particular, to a method of information transmission, device, equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0003] Currently, a variety of metering gaps have been introduced, such as simultaneous metering gaps, pre-configured metering gaps, small network-controlled metering gaps, etc. There are differences in configuration methods, activation or deactivation methods, and specific metering gap patterns for different types of metering gaps. Currently, the network can configure multiple metering gaps and corresponding priorities for a terminal. In case of a metering gap conflict caused by ping overlap between multiple configured metering gaps, the protocol stipulates that the lowest priority metering gap is discarded.However, since the purpose of each measurement gap is determined by the terminal itself, and the terminal needs to discard the low-priority measurement gap according to protocol regulations when resolving the measurement gap conflict, this can cause a measurement gap that the terminal expects to use to complete an important function or operation to be discarded due to a relatively low priority, resulting in the terminal's inability to complete the task. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, p. 6 / 260 2 / 63 completing the important function or operation, which in turn leads to a decrease in terminal performance. SUMMARY

[0197] Before introducing the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure, the related technique is explained first. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, p. 19 / 260 15 / 63

[0198] In the related technique, a variety of measurement gaps are introduced, such as simultaneous measurement gaps, pre-configured measurement gaps, small network-controlled measurement gaps, multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) measurement gaps, positioning measurement gaps, non-terrestrial network (NTN) measurement gaps, etc. There are differences in configuration methods, activation or deactivation methods, and measurement gap patterns specific to different types of measurement gaps. Currently, due to time and complexity issues, the scenario involving the joint use of multiple measurement gaps is not considered. Specifically, only simple scenarios in which multiple measurement gaps are used independently are considered, with the number of simultaneously configured measurement gaps still restricted to no more than two.In real-world networks, scenarios where multiple measurement gaps coexist occur, and this remains a key research focus for the future.

[0199] Regarding simultaneous measurement gaps, the network will indicate the priority of each measurement gap through Radio Resource Control (RRC), and two priorities cannot be equal. When there is overlap in the time domain of measurement gaps, a user device abandons the measurement gap corresponding to the low priority. There are two cases where there is overlap in the time domain of measurement gaps: a first case where there is actual overlap in the time domain; a second case where there is no overlap in the time domain, a gap between the two is less than a certain value, causing the user device (UD) to be unable to handle it.

[0200] Considering factors such as complexity and processing capacity of the user equipment, the coexistence of multiple measurement gaps can cause conflicts due to their overlap. Currently, the user equipment is responsible for implementing how to use multiple measurement gaps, while the network lacks information related to the user equipment's implementation. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 20 / 260 16 / 63 In other words, due to inconsistencies in information about the use of measurement gaps between the network and the user equipment, the user equipment may likely miss the measurement gap used for relatively important functions or operations, which could prevent the user equipment from completing related functions or operations, leading to performance degradation; such operations include receiving transmissions or paging, intra-frequency measurements, and so on.

[0201] For example, since there are scenarios where multiple measurement gaps coexist, it is likely that multiple measurement gaps will coexist. Taking the Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module (MUSIM) gaps as an example, up to 4 measurement gaps can be configured. If other types of measurement gaps are considered, the number of measurement gaps will be higher. The way the user equipment utilizes multiple measurement gaps is implemented by the user equipment of the related technique, and the network does not have relevant information. This leads to the problem that the user equipment uses a lower priority measurement gap for a more important operation. Taking MUSIM as an example, considering the transmission of reference symbols, transmissions, etc., the user equipment uses this measurement gap for transmission reception or paging.When there is a conflict between this measurement gap and other measurement gaps, that is, the measurement gap is discarded, meaning the user equipment cannot use this measurement gap, resulting in the user equipment being unable to perform important operations, causing performance degradation. In another example, with the Bandwidth Parts (BWP) transition, intrafrequency measurement is also likely to require measurement gaps; however, the measurement gaps used by the user equipment for intrafrequency measurements are eliminated, making measurements impossible. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 21 / 260 17 / 63 intrafrequency measurements by the user's equipment. Since intrafrequency measurements are relatively important for mobility, this, in turn, affects mobility.

[0202] In view of this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first piece of information is transmitted, in which the first piece of information relates to the measurement or measurement gap; and / or, a second piece of information is received, in which the second piece of information relates to the measurement or measurement gap.

[0203] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure applied to a user equipment (UE). As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes a step 101.

[0204] Step 101: transmit the first piece of information, where the first piece of information relates to the measurement or the measurement gap; and / or receive the second piece of information, where the second piece of information relates to the measurement or the measurement gap.

[0205] In practical application, the transmission of the first information includes the transmission of the first information by the user equipment to the network. The network can also be described as a network device, a network node, or a base station.

[0206] Based on this, in one modality, the first transmission information indicates:

[0207] transmit the first information to the network;

[0208] where the first piece of information includes:

[0209] a measurement gap; and / or,

[0210] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0211] priority.

[0212] Here, measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information that the user equipment expects to use; measurement gap purpose represents the measurement gap purpose that the user equipment expects to use; and priority is the EU measurement gap priority preference. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 22 / 260 18 / 63

[0213] It is understandable that the measurement gap may also be described as measurement gap(s) or as a gap, or as gap(s). The measurement gap includes: MUSIM gap (or described as MUSIM measurement gap, or MUSIM MG), Pre-MG, NCSG, positioning gap, NTN gap. The network may configure multiple MUSIM gaps, and the user equipment indicates the priority of each MUSIM gap, which helps the network and user equipment to have a consistent understanding of measurement gap usage and is conducive to resolving measurement conflicts or measurement gap overlaps.

[0214] It is worth noting that the purpose (or described as objective) and the priority of the measurement gap in the first information may not coexist simultaneously. Regardless of coexistence or not, the essence is to help the network better configure priorities. The content of the first information is the tendency or preference of the user equipment to help the network obtain more information.

[0215] It should be understood that the benefit of the user equipment assisting the network in understanding the purpose / objective of the measurement gap is to help the network know how the user equipment uses the measurement gap, so that it can configure the measurement gap used by the user equipment for more important operations with a higher priority, thus avoiding scenarios where the measurement gap is discarded due to its lower priority in the event of a conflict with other measurement gaps, resulting in the inability of the user equipment to perform related operations.

[0216] In practical application, receiving the second piece of information includes obtaining the second piece of information in advance from the protocol, i.e., pre-defining the protocol and / or receiving the second piece of information from the network. This can also be described as the fact that some units of information in the second piece of information are pre-defined in the protocol and some units of information are sent over the network.

[0217] Based on this, in one modality, the reception of the second piece of information includes: Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 23 / 260 19 / 63

[0218] receive a second piece of information sent over the network;

[0219] where the second piece of information includes:

[0220] measurement gap; and / or,

[0221] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0222] priority.

[0223] Here, the measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information configured by the network for the user equipment; the purpose of the measurement gap represents the purpose of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment; and the priority represents the priority of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment.

[0224] It is understandable that the measurement gap may also be described as measurement gap(s) or as a gap, or as gap(s). The measurement gap includes: MUSIM gap (or described as MUSIM measurement gap, or MUSIM MG), Pre-MG, NCSG, positioning gap, NTN gap. The network may configure multiple MUSIM gaps, and the user equipment indicates the priority of each MUSIM gap, which helps the network and user equipment to have a consistent understanding of measurement gap usage and is conducive to resolving measurement conflicts or measurement gap overlaps.

[0225] It should be understood that the measurement gap transmitted by the user equipment (or described as a preferred measurement gap) or the measurement gap transmitted by the network (or described as a measurement gap configured by the network and received by the user equipment) includes a measurement gap index (which may also be described as a gap ID or as a gap pattern ID) and / or a measurement gap length and / or a measurement gap repetition period and / or a measurement gap offset and / or a measurement gap start position (including at least one of an initial system frame, frame and subframe number). Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 24 / 260 20 / 63

[0226] It should be understood that the relationship between the purpose of the measurement gap in the second information and the purpose of the measurement gap in the first information is that the network first learns how the user equipment uses the measurement gap based on the first information reported by the user equipment and then executes the measurement gap priority configuration based on the first information.

[0227] In one embodiment, the purpose of the measurement gap includes:

[0228] pagination reception; and / or,

[0229] reception of transmissions; and / or,

[0230] receiving system messages; and / or,

[0231] measurement for RRM; and / or,

[0232] intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0233] interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0234] measures for transfer; and / or,

[0235] layer 1 measurement.

[0236] It is understandable that reception here can also be described as obtaining.

[0237] It should be understood that layer 1 measurement (or described as L1) includes: L1 measurement of a service cell and / or L1 measurement of a cell with a different physical cell identifier (PCI) than the service cell. L1 measurement includes L1-RSRP and / or L1-SINR.

[0238] In one embodiment, if the same measurement gap is used for different purposes, the measurement gap has different priorities when used for different purposes.

[0239] It should be understood that the same measurement gap can also be described as the same set of measurement gaps. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, p. 25 / 260 21 / 63

[0240] In real-world applications, one solution is for the user's equipment to explicitly notify the network of the purpose (or describe it as a goal) of the measurement gap.

[0241] In practical application, another solution is to specify this implicitly by configuring measurement gaps in the first information. This solution does not require including the purpose (or objective) of the measurement gap, but it needs to be agreed upon in the protocol to ensure consistent understanding between the user equipment and the network. Specifically, it includes at least one of the following: if the measurement gap is aperiodic, the measurement gap is used for receiving system messages; if the measurement gap has the longer period, the measurement gap is used for receiving paging.

[0242] Based on this, in one modality, the first piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0243] an aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0244] an aperiodic measurement gap used for system messaging; and / or,

[0245] a measurement gap of the longest period used for system message; and / or,

[0246] an aperiodic measurement gap used for pagination; and / or,

[0247] a measurement gap for the longest period used for pagination.

[0248] Here, the purpose of the measurement gap is implicitly notified. It should be understood that, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported preferential (measurement gaps)), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that an aperiodic measurement gap is used for system messages and / or paging. And / or, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported preferential (measurement gaps)), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 26 / 260 22 / 63 user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that the measurement gap with the longest period (or described as the longest period) is used for system messages and / or paging. In this way, the user equipment does not need to indicate the specific purpose of the measurement gap, thus saving signaling overhead.

[0249] In real-world applications, one solution is for the user's equipment to explicitly notify the network about the priority.

[0250] In practical application, another solution is to specify this implicitly by configuring measurement gaps in the first information. This solution does not require the explicit inclusion of priority, but needs to be agreed upon in the protocol to ensure consistent understanding between the user equipment and the network. Specifically, it includes at least one of the following: if the measurement gap is aperiodic, the measurement gap priority is high priority; if the measurement gap has the longest period, the measurement gap priority is high priority.

[0251] Based on this, in one modality, the first piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0252] an aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0253] a high-priority aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0254] a measurement gap with the longest period having high priority.

[0255] Here, priority is implicitly notified.

[0256] It should be understood that, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as preferred reported measurement gaps), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that the priority of an aperiodic measurement gap is a high priority, or is described as a measurement gap with the highest priority among the measurement gaps reported by the user equipment. In one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 27 / 260 23 / 63 described as reported as preferential measurement gaps), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that the measurement gap with the longest period (or described as the longest period) is a high priority, or described as a measurement gap with the highest priority among the measurement gaps reported by the user equipment. In this way, the user equipment does not need to indicate the specific priority of the measurement gap, thus saving signaling overhead.

[0257] In one modality, the first information is used to indicate the following information:

[0258] a measurement gap used for pagination; and / or,

[0259] a measurement gap used for transmission; and / or,

[0260] a measurement gap used for system messaging; and / or,

[0261] a measurement gap used for RRM measurement; and / or,

[0262] a measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0263] a measurement gap used for interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0264] a measurement gap used for transfer measurement; and / or,

[0265] a measurement gap used for L1 measurement.

[0266] It should be understood that the measurement gap used for paging can also be described as the measurement gap related to paging; the measurement gap used for transmission can also be described as the measurement gap related to transmission; the measurement gap used for system messaging can also be described as the measurement gap related to system messaging; the measurement gap used for RRM measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to RRM measurement; the measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to intrafrequency measurement; the measurement gap used for measurement Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, pp. 28 / 260 24 / 63 interfrequency can also be described as the measurement gap related to interfrequency measurement; the measurement gap used for transfer measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to transfer measurement; the measurement gap used for L1 measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to L1 measurement.

[0267] In one modality, the first information is used to indicate the following information:

[0268] a measurement gap priority; and / or,

[0269] a measurement gap with top priority; and / or,

[0270] a priority of a measurement gap whose repetition period is greater than or equal to a first limit; and / or,

[0271] a priority of a measurement gap whose repetition period is greater than or equal to the first limit being a high priority; and / or,

[0272] a measurement gap whose repetition period is greater than or equal to a limit second.

[0273] It is understood that the measurement gap priority transmitted (or described as reported, or described as indicated) by the user equipment includes the measurement gap priority preferred by the user equipment (priority includes a priority level). The network can configure the measurement gap priority based on this information. The user equipment can indicate the priority of each measurement gap or indicate only the priority of some measurement gaps.

[0274] For example, it can be indicated by 1 bit, for example, TRUE, or a value of 1 indicates high priority, which can also be described as indicating that the priority of the corresponding measurement gap is high priority. By another example, the priority level indication can also be described as indicating the priority level of the corresponding measurement gap. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, pp. 29 / 260 25 / 63

[0275] It should be understood that the measurement gap with the highest priority includes a priority index (which may also be described as a priority level) and / or a measurement gap index (which may also be described as a gap ID or as a gap pattern ID) and / or a measurement gap length and / or a measurement gap repetition period and / or a measurement gap offset and / or a measurement gap start position (including at least one of an initial system frame, frame and subframe number).

[0276] For example, a 1-bit indication, such as TRUE or a value of 1, indicates the highest priority, which can also be described as the priority of the corresponding measurement gap being the highest. In another example, the user equipment indicates or reports the measurement gap ID, which is the highest priority measurement gap, or is described as the highest priority measurement gap preferred by the user equipment.

[0277] In one modality, the second piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0278] a gap in aperiodic measurement being of high priority; and / or,

[0279] a measurement gap with the longest period being of high priority; and / or,

[0280] a measurement gap for intrafrequency measurements being of high priority; and / or,

[0281] a measurement gap used for paging being of high priority; and / or,

[0282] a measurement gap for system messages being of high priority; and / or,

[0283] maintenance of at least two measurement gaps; and / or,

[0284] Maintaining gaps in the multi-universal subscriber identity module.

[0285] It is important to note that the paging and system messages here are paging and system messages from another system or cell. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 30 / 260 26 / 63

[0286] Specifically, in one scenario, assuming that the user equipment is currently on system A, the user equipment may receive paging messages and / or messages from system B through the metering gap. During the metering gap, the user equipment may temporarily interrupt the connection between the user equipment and system A and tune to system B for reception.

[0287] In another scenario, assuming that the user equipment is currently in cell C, the paging and / or system message from cell D may be received across the metering gap. During the metering gap, the user equipment may temporarily interrupt the connection between the user equipment and cell C and tune to cell D for reception. This application does not explicitly state that the second piece of information is transmitted over the network; and this case also implies that the second piece of information is predefined in the protocol.

[0288] Here, the multi-universal subscriber identity module may also be described as Multi-universal Subscriber Identity Module (MUSIM). The multi-universal subscriber identity module gap may also be described as multi-universal subscriber identity module measurement gap, MUSIM gap or MUSIM gap(s), or may be described as MUSIM MG (measurement gap). Maintaining multi-universal subscriber identity module gaps may also be described as maintaining multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) gaps in collision.

[0289] Specifically, in a scenario where there is a collision between different MUSIM gaps, keep all MUSIM gaps in collision.

[0290] In another scenario, when one or more MUSIM gaps conflict with other measurement gaps, the MUSIM gap(s) is / are maintained and other measurement gaps are discarded.

[0291] Colliding measurement gaps can also be described as overlapping measurement gaps or colliding measurements, including at least one of Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 31 / 260 27 / 63 following: at least two measurement gaps (or described as two sets of measurement gaps or described as two occasions of measurement gaps) overlap in the time domain; the distance between at least two measurement gaps (or described as two sets of measurement gaps or described as two occasions of measurement gaps) is less than or equal to a given threshold. Maintenance can also be described as adoption or disclosure.

[0292] In one embodiment, maintaining gaps in the multi-universal subscriber identity module includes: maintaining the gaps in the multi-universal subscriber identity module used for the same frequency.

[0293] In one modality, the second piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0294] a measurement gap used for pagination; and / or,

[0295] a measurement gap used for transmission; and / or,

[0296] a measurement gap used for system message; and / or,

[0297] a measurement gap used for RRM measurement; and / or,

[0298] a measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0299] a measurement gap used for interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0300] a measurement gap used for transfer measurement; and / or,

[0301] a measurement gap used for L1 measurement.

[0302] It is understood that the gain of the network transmitting the second piece of information lies in the fact that the network indicates to the user equipment the purpose of the measurement gap. The network can configure the second piece of information with reference to the first piece of information reported by the user equipment.

[0303] In one version, the method also includes:

[0304] receive a third piece of information transmitted over the network;

[0305] where the third piece of information is used to instruct the user equipment to report the purpose and / or priority of the measurement gap. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 32 / 260 28 / 63

[0306] In real-world applications, the second piece of information received by the user equipment may further specify how to resolve the measurement gap conflict in a specific scenario.

[0307] Based on this, in one modality, the second piece of information is still used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0308] if an aperiodic measurement gap collides with other measurement gaps, the aperiodic measurement gap will be unconditionally maintained and / or other measurement gaps will be discarded;

[0309] if there is a measurement gap with the longest period in the measurement gaps where there is a conflict, the user equipment maintains the measurement gap with the longest period and / or eliminates other measurement gaps;

[0310] in measurement gaps where there is a conflict, the measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement is maintained;

[0311] if the colliding measurement gaps are MUSIM gaps, the user equipment retains all colliding measurement gaps;

[0312] if the colliding measurement gaps are MUSIM gaps and the colliding MUSIM gaps are used for related measurements or receptions on the same frequency, the user equipment maintains all colliding measurement gaps;

[0313] in the measurement gap where there is a conflict, the measurement gap used for pagination is maintained;

[0314] in the measurement gap where there is a conflict, the measurement gap used for system messages is maintained.

[0315] It is worth noting that the second piece of information specifies how to resolve the measurement gap conflict in a specific scenario. In this case, the conflicts can be resolved without prioritizing them. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 33 / 260 29 / 63

[0316] Here, the measurement gap with the longest period may refer to a measurement gap with the longest period among several measurement gaps configured for the user equipment.

[0317] Here, the user equipment keeps all measurement gaps in collision, meaning that the user equipment does not drop any measurement gap.

[0318] It is important to note that “used to indicate the following information” in the previous description can also be described as “including”.

[0319] In the present disclosure embodiment, the following advantages are possessed:

[0320] (1) A solution is provided for the problem of measurement gap conflicts.

[0321] Specifically, the user equipment transmits the first information to help the network learn the measurement-related information or measurement gap that the user equipment expects to use, thus ensuring that the information about the use of the measurement or measurement gap between the user equipment and the network is consistent, so that it can be avoided that, in the event of a conflict in the measurement gaps, the user equipment reduces the measurement gap used for a relatively important function or operation, resulting in the inability of the user equipment to complete the function or operation, thus causing the problem of reduced performance of the user equipment.Or, the user equipment receives the second piece of information so that the user equipment learns the measurement-related information or measurement gap that the network expects the user equipment to use, thus ensuring that the information about the use of the measurement or measurement gap between the user equipment and the network is consistent, so that it can be avoided that, in the event of a conflict in the measurement gaps, the conflict eliminates the measurement gap used for a relatively important function or operation, resulting in the inability to resolve the conflict. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 34 / 260 30 / 63 function or operation, thus causing the problem of reduced performance of the user's equipment.

[0322] (2) The user equipment may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferential measurement gap explicitly, or may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferential measurement gap implicitly.

[0323] (3) The network clearly sets the purpose of the measurement gap. The same measurement gap may have different priorities when used for different purposes.

[0324] (4) The second piece of information can predefine how to resolve the measurement gap conflict in a specific scenario. In this way, the user equipment can adopt a predefined method to resolve the conflict in the specific scenario.

[0325] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a network device. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes step 201.

[0326] Step 201: receive the first piece of information, where the first piece of information relates to the measurement or measurement gap; and / or transmit the second piece of information, where the second piece of information relates to the measurement or measurement gap.

[0327] In real-world application, receiving the first information includes receiving the first information transmitted by a user device.

[0328] Based on this, in one embodiment, receiving the first information includes:

[0329] receiving the first information transmitted by a user's equipment;

[0330] where the first information includes:

[0331] a measurement gap; and / or,

[0332] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0333] priority. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, p. 35 / 260 31 / 63

[0334] Here, measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information that the user equipment expects to use; measurement gap purpose represents the measurement gap purpose that the user equipment expects to use; and priority is the EU measurement gap priority preference.

[0335] It is understandable that the measurement gap may also be described as measurement gap(s) or as a gap, or as gap(s). The measurement gap includes: MUSIM gap (or described as MUSIM measurement gap, or MUSIM MG), Pre-MG, NCSG, positioning gap, NTN gap. The network may configure multiple MUSIM gaps, and the user equipment indicates the priority of each MUSIM gap, which helps the network and user equipment to have a consistent understanding of measurement gap usage and is conducive to resolving measurement conflicts or measurement gap overlaps.

[0336] It is worth noting that the purpose (or described as objective) and the priority of the measurement gap in the first information may not coexist simultaneously. Regardless of whether they coexist or not, the essence is to help the network better configure priorities. The content of the first information is the tendency or preference of the user equipment to help the network obtain more information.

[0337] It should be understood that the benefit of the user equipment assisting the network in understanding the purpose / objective of the measurement gap is to help the network know how the user equipment uses the measurement gap, so that it can configure the measurement gap used by the user equipment for more important operations with a higher priority, thus avoiding scenarios where the measurement gap is discarded due to its lower priority in the event of a conflict with other measurement gaps, resulting in the inability of the user equipment to perform related operations.

[0338] In practical application, the transmission of the second piece of information includes: transmitting the second piece of information over the network to the user's equipment. This can also be Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 36 / 260 32 / 63 described as some units of information in the second information predefined in the protocol, and some units of information transmitted over the network.

[0339] Based on this, in one modality, the transmission of the second piece of information includes:

[0340] transmit the second piece of information to the user's equipment;

[0341] where the second piece of information includes:

[0342] measurement gap; and / or,

[0343] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0344] priority.

[0345] Here, the measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information configured by the network for the user equipment; the purpose of the measurement gap represents the purpose of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment; and the priority represents the priority of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment.

[0346] It is understandable that the measurement gap may also be described as measurement gap(s) or as a gap, or as gap(s). The measurement gap includes: MUSIM gap (or described as MUSIM measurement gap, or MUSIM MG), Pre-MG, NCSG, positioning gap, NTN gap. The network may configure multiple MUSIM gaps, and the user equipment indicates the priority of each MUSIM gap, which helps the network and user equipment to have a consistent understanding of measurement gap usage and is conducive to resolving measurement conflicts or measurement gap overlaps.

[0347] It should be understood that the measurement gap transmitted by the user equipment (or described as a preferred measurement gap) or the measurement gap transmitted by the network (or described as a measurement gap configured by the network and received by the user equipment) includes a measurement gap index (which may also be described as a gap ID or as a gap pattern ID) Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 37 / 260 33 / 63 and / or a measurement gap length and / or a measurement gap repetition period and / or a measurement gap offset and / or an initial measurement gap position (including at least one of an initial system frame, frame and subframe number).

[0348] It should be understood that the relationship between the purpose of the measurement gap in the second piece of information and the purpose of the measurement gap in the first piece of information is that the network first learns how the user equipment uses the measurement gap based on the first piece of information reported by the user equipment and then executes the measurement gap priority setting based on the first piece of information.

[0349] In one embodiment, the purpose of the measurement gap includes:

[0350] pagination reception; and / or,

[0351] reception of transmissions; and / or,

[0352] receiving system messages; and / or,

[0353] measurement for RRM; and / or,

[0354] intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0355] interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0356] measurement for delivery; and / or,

[0357] layer 1 measurement.

[0358] It is understandable that reception here can also be described as obtaining.

[0359] It should be understood that layer 1 measurement (or described as L1) includes: L1 measurement of a service cell and / or L1 measurement of a cell with a different physical cell identifier (PCI) than the service cell. L1 measurement includes L1-RSRP and / or L1-SINR. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, p. 38 / 260 34 / 63

[0360] In one embodiment, if the same measurement gap is used for different purposes, the measurement gap has different priorities when used for different purposes.

[0361] It should be understood that the same measurement gap can also be described as the same set of measurement gaps.

[0362] In real-world application, one solution is for the user's equipment to explicitly notify the network of the purpose (or describe it as a goal) of the measurement gap.

[0363] In practical application, another solution is to specify this implicitly by configuring measurement gaps in the first information. This solution does not require including the purpose (or objective) of the measurement gap, but it needs to be agreed upon in the protocol to ensure consistent understanding between the user equipment and the network. Specifically, it includes at least one of the following: if the measurement gap is aperiodic, the measurement gap is used for receiving system messages; if the measurement gap has the longer period, the measurement gap is used for receiving paging.

[0364] Based on this, in one modality, the first piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0365] an aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0366] an aperiodic measurement gap used for system messaging; and / or,

[0367] a measurement gap of the longest period used for system message; and / or,

[0368] an aperiodic measurement gap used for pagination; and / or,

[0369] a measurement gap for the longest period used for pagination.

[0370] Here, the purpose of the measurement gap is implicitly stated.

[0371] It should be understood that, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported preferred (measurement gaps), Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 39 / 260 35 / 63 implies (or is described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or is described as predefined in the protocol) that an aperiodic measurement gap is used for system messages and / or paging. And / or, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported as preferential (measurement gaps)), it is implied (or is described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or is described as predefined in the protocol) that the measurement gap with the longest period (or is described as the longest period) is used for system messages and / or paging. In this way, the user equipment does not need to indicate the specific purpose of the measurement gap, thus saving signaling overhead.

[0372] In real-world applications, one solution is for the user's equipment to explicitly notify the network about the priority.

[0373] In practical application, another solution is to specify this implicitly by configuring measurement gaps in the first information. This solution does not require the explicit inclusion of priority, but needs to be agreed upon in the protocol to ensure consistent understanding between the user equipment and the network. Specifically, it includes at least one of the following: if the measurement gap is aperiodic, the measurement gap priority is high priority; if the measurement gap has the longest period, the measurement gap priority is high priority.

[0374] Based on this, in one modality, the first piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0375] an aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0376] a high-priority aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0377] a measurement gap with the longest period having high priority.

[0378] Here, priority is implicitly notified.

[0379] It should be understood that, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as preferred reported measurement gaps), it is Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 40 / 260 36 / 63 implicitly (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) prioritizes an aperiodic measurement gap, or describes it as a measurement gap with the highest priority among the measurement gaps reported by the user equipment. In one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported as preferential measurement gaps), it is implicitly (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that the measurement gap with the longest period (or described as the longest period) is a high priority, or described as a measurement gap with the highest priority among the measurement gaps reported by the user equipment. In this way, the user equipment does not need to indicate the specific priority of the measurement gap, thus saving signaling overhead.

[0380] In one modality, the first information is used to indicate the following information:

[0381] a measurement gap used for pagination; and / or,

[0382] a measurement gap used for transmission; and / or,

[0383] a measurement gap used for system messaging; and / or,

[0384] a measurement gap used for RRM measurement; and / or,

[0385] a measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0386] a measurement gap used for interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0387] a measurement gap used for transfer measurement; and / or,

[0388] a measurement gap used for L1 measurement.

[0389] It should be understood that the measurement gap used for paging can also be described as the measurement gap related to paging; the measurement gap used for transmission can also be described as the measurement gap related to transmission; the measurement gap used for system messages Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 41 / 260 37 / 63 can also be described as the measurement gap related to the system message; the measurement gap used for RRM measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to RRM measurement; the measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to intrafrequency measurement; the measurement gap used for interfrequency measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to interfrequency measurement; the measurement gap used for handover measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to handover measurement; the measurement gap used for L1 measurement can also be described as the measurement gap related to L1 measurement.

[0390] In one modality, the first information is used to indicate the following information:

[0391] a measurement gap priority; and / or,

[0392] a measurement gap with top priority; and / or,

[0393] a priority of a measurement gap whose repetition period is greater than or equal to a first limit; and / or,

[0394] a priority of a measurement gap whose repetition period is greater than or equal to the first limit being a high priority; and / or,

[0395] a measurement gap whose repetition period is greater than or equal to a limit second.

[0396] It is understood that the measurement gap priority transmitted (or described as reported, or described as indicated) by the user equipment includes the measurement gap priority preferred by the user equipment (priority includes a priority level). The network can configure the measurement gap priority. Based on this information, the user equipment can indicate the priority of each measurement gap or indicate only the priority of some measurement gaps. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 42 / 260 38 / 63

[0397] For example, it can be indicated by 1 bit, for example, TRUE, or a value of 1 indicates high priority, which can also be described as indicating that the priority of the corresponding measurement gap is high priority. By another example, it indicates the priority level, which can also be described as indicating the priority level of the corresponding measurement gap.

[0398] It should be understood that the measurement gap with the highest priority includes a priority index (which may also be described as a priority level) and / or a measurement gap index (which may also be described as a gap ID or as a gap pattern ID) and / or a measurement gap length and / or a measurement gap repetition period and / or a measurement gap offset and / or a measurement gap start position (including at least one of an initial system frame, frame and subframe number).

[0399] For example, a 1-bit indication, such as TRUE or a value of 1, indicates the highest priority, which can also be described as the priority of the corresponding measurement gap being the highest. In another example, the user equipment indicates or reports the measurement gap ID, which is the highest priority measurement gap, or is described as the highest priority measurement gap preferred by the user equipment.

[0400] In one modality, the second piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0401] an aperiodic measurement gap being of high priority; and / or,

[0402] a measurement gap with the longest period being of high priority; and / or,

[0403] a measurement gap for intrafrequency measurements being of high priority; and / or,

[0404] a measurement gap used for pagination being of high priority; and / or, Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 43 / 260 39 / 63

[0405] a measurement gap for system messages being of high priority; and / or,

[0406] maintenance of at least two measurement gaps; and / or,

[0407] maintaining gaps in the multi-universal subscriber identity module.

[0408] It is important to note that the paging and system messages here are paging and system messages from another system or another cell.

[0409] Specifically, in one scenario, assuming that the user equipment is currently on system A, the user equipment may receive paging messages and / or messages from system B through the metering gap. During the metering gap, the user equipment may temporarily interrupt the connection between the user equipment and system A and tune to system B for reception.

[0410] In another scenario, assuming that the user equipment is currently in cell C, the paging and / or system message from cell D may be received across the metering gap. During the metering gap, the user equipment may temporarily interrupt the connection between the user equipment and cell C and tune to cell D for reception. This application does not explicitly state that the second piece of information is transmitted over the network; and this case also implies that the second piece of information is predefined in the protocol.

[0411] Here, the multi-universal subscriber identity module may also be described as Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module (MUSIM). The multi-universal subscriber identity module gap may also be described as multi-universal subscriber identity module measurement gap, MUSIM gap or MUSIM gap(s), or may be described as MUSIM MG (measurement gap). Maintaining multi-universal subscriber identity module gaps may also be described as maintaining multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) gaps in collision. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 44 / 260 40 / 63

[0412] Specifically, in a scenario where there is a conflict between multiple MUSIM gaps, all MUSIM gaps are maintained.

[0413] In another scenario, when one or more MUSIM gaps conflict with other measurement gaps, the MUSIM gap(s) is / are maintained and other measurement gaps are discarded. Colliding measurement gaps may also be described as overlapping measurement gaps or colliding measurements, including at least one of the following: at least two measurement gaps (or described as two sets of measurement gaps or described as two occasions of measurement gaps) overlap in the time domain; a gap in the time domain between at least two measurement gaps (or described as two sets of measurement gaps or described as two occasions of measurement gaps) is less than or equal to a given threshold. Maintenance may also be described as adoption or disclosure.

[0414] In one embodiment, maintaining gaps in the multi-universal subscriber identity module includes: maintaining the gaps in the multi-universal subscriber identity module used for the same frequency.

[0415] In one modality, the second piece of information is used to indicate the following information:

[0416] a measurement gap used for pagination; and / or,

[0417] a measurement gap used for transmission; and / or,

[0418] a measurement gap used for system message; and / or,

[0419] a measurement gap used for RRM measurement; and / or,

[0420] a measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0421] a measurement gap used for interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0422] a measurement gap used for transfer measurement; and / or,

[0423] a measurement gap used for L1 measurement. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 45 / 260 41 / 63

[0424] It is understood that the gain of the network transmitting the second piece of information lies in the fact that the network indicates to the user equipment the purpose of the measurement gap. The network can configure the second piece of information with reference to the first piece of information reported by the user equipment.

[0425] In one version, the method also includes:

[0426] transmission of third-party information to user equipment;

[0427] where the third piece of information is used to instruct the user equipment to report the purpose and / or priority of the measurement gap.

[0428] In real-world applications, the second piece of information received by the user equipment can further specify how to resolve the measurement gap conflict in a specific scenario.

[0429] Based on this, in one modality, the second piece of information is still used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0430] if an aperiodic measurement gap collides with other measurement gaps, the aperiodic measurement gap will be unconditionally maintained and / or other measurement gaps will be discarded;

[0431] if there is a measurement gap with the longest period in the measurement gaps where there is a conflict, the user equipment maintains the measurement gap with the longest period and / or eliminates other measurement gaps;

[0432] in measurement gaps where there is a conflict, the measurement gap used for intrafrequency measurement is maintained;

[0433] if the colliding measurement gaps are MUSIM gaps, the user equipment retains all colliding measurement gaps;

[0434] if the colliding measurement gaps are MUSIM gaps and the colliding MUSIM gaps are used for related measurements or receptions on the same frequency, the user equipment maintains all colliding measurement gaps; Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 46 / 260 42 / 63

[0435] in the measurement gap where there is a conflict, the measurement gap used for pagination is maintained;

[0436] in the measurement gap where there is a conflict, the measurement gap used for system messages is maintained.

[0437] It is worth noting that the second piece of information specifies how to resolve the measurement gap conflict in a specific scenario. In this case, the conflicts can be resolved without prioritizing them.

[0438] Here, the measurement gap with the longest period may refer to a measurement gap with the longest period among several measurement gaps configured for the user equipment.

[0439] Here, the user equipment keeps all measurement gaps in collision, meaning that the user equipment does not drop any measurement gap.

[0440] It is important to note that “used to indicate the following information” in the previous description can also be described as “including”.

[0441] In the present disclosure modality, the following advantages are available:

[0442] (1) A solution is provided for the problem of measurement gap conflicts.

[0443] Specifically, the user equipment transmits the first information to help the network learn the measurement-related information or measurement gap that the user equipment expects to use, thus ensuring that the information about the use of the measurement or measurement gap between the user equipment and the network is consistent, so that it can be avoided that, in the event of a conflict in the measurement gaps, the user equipment reduces the measurement gap used for a relatively important function or operation, resulting in the inability of the user equipment to complete the function or operation, thus causing the problem of reduced performance of the user equipment. And / or, the Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 47 / 260 43 / 63 The user equipment receives the second piece of information so that the user equipment learns the measurement-related information or measurement gap that the network expects the user equipment to use, thus ensuring that the information about the use of the measurement or measurement gap between the user equipment and the network is consistent, so that it can be avoided that, in the event of a conflict in the measurement gaps, the conflict eliminates the measurement gap used for a relatively important function or operation, resulting in the inability of the conflict to complete the function or operation, thus causing the problem of reduced performance of the user equipment.

[0444] (2) The user equipment may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferential measurement gap explicitly, or may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferential measurement gap implicitly.

[0445] (3) The network clearly sets the purpose of the measurement gap. The same measurement gap may have different priorities when used for different purposes.

[0446] (4) The second piece of information can predefine how to resolve the measurement gap conflict in a specific scenario. In this way, the user equipment can adopt a predefined method to resolve the conflict in the specific scenario.

[0447] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a specific implementation flow of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes steps 301 to 303.

[0448] Step 301: transmitting, by a user device, the first information to a network device.

[0449] The first piece of information includes:

[0450] a measurement gap; and / or,

[0451] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or, Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 48 / 260 44 / 63

[0452] priority.

[0453] Here, measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information that the user equipment expects to use; measurement gap purpose represents the measurement gap purpose that the user equipment expects to use; and priority is the EU measurement gap priority preference.

[0454] Here, the measurement gap objective includes:

[0455] pagination reception; and / or,

[0456] reception of transmissions; and / or,

[0457] receiving system messages; and / or,

[0458] measurement for RRM; and / or,

[0459] intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0460] interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0461] measurement for delivery; and / or,

[0462] layer 1 measurement.

[0463] Here, one solution is for the user equipment to explicitly notify the network about the purpose (or describe it as a goal) of the measurement gap.

[0464] Here, another solution is to specify this implicitly by configuring measurement gaps in the initial information. This solution does not require including the purpose (or objective) of the measurement gap, but it needs to be agreed upon in the protocol to ensure consistent understanding between the user equipment and the network.

[0465] Here, the first information includes:

[0466] an aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0467] an aperiodic measurement gap used for system messaging; and / or,

[0468] a measurement gap of the longest period used for system message; and / or,

[0469] an aperiodic measurement gap used for pagination; and / or,

[0470] a measurement gap for the longest period used for pagination. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, p. 49 / 260 45 / 63

[0471] Here, the purpose of the measurement gap is implicitly stated.

[0472] It should be understood that, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported preferred (measurement gaps)), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that an aperiodic measurement gap is used for system messages and / or paging. And / or, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported preferred (measurement gaps)), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that the measurement gap with the longest period (or described as the longest period) is used for system messages and / or paging. In this way, the user equipment does not need to indicate the specific purpose of the measurement gap, thus saving signaling overhead.

[0473] Here, the user equipment may also receive third-party information transmitted over the network; wherein the third-party information is used to instruct the user equipment to report the purpose and / or priority of the measurement gap. If the third-party information instructs the user equipment to report the purpose and / or priority of the measurement gap, the first information reported by the user equipment will carry the purpose and / or priority of the measurement gap.

[0474] Here, one solution is for the user's equipment to explicitly notify the network about the priority.

[0475] Here, another solution is to specify this implicitly by setting measurement gaps in the first piece of information. This solution does not require the explicit inclusion of priority, but it needs to be agreed upon in the protocol to ensure consistent understanding between the user equipment and the network.

[0476] Here, the first information is used to indicate the following information:

[0477] an aperiodic measurement gap; and / or, Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, p. 50 / 260 46 / 63

[0478] a high-priority aperiodic measurement gap; and / or,

[0479] a measurement gap with the longest period having high priority.

[0480] Here, priority is implicitly notified.

[0481] It should be understood that, in one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as preferred reported measurement gaps), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that the priority of an aperiodic measurement gap is a high priority, or is described as a measurement gap with the highest priority among the measurement gaps reported by the user equipment. In one or more measurement gaps reported by the user equipment (or described as reported as preferred measurement gaps), it is implied (or described as negotiated between the network and the user equipment, or described as predefined in the protocol) that the measurement gap with the longest period (or described as the longest period) is a high priority, or described as a measurement gap with the highest priority among the measurement gaps reported by the user equipment.In this way, the user's equipment does not need to indicate the specific priority of the measurement gap, thus saving signaling overhead.

[0482] Step 302: receive, via the network device, the first information transmitted by the user equipment; and execute the relevant settings for the measurement gap, priority, and purpose of the measurement gap, based on the first information.

[0483] Here, this setting is used for subsequent EU-related measurements.

[0484] Step 303: Execute, by the user equipment, corresponding usage purposes or operations in the measurement gap according to the configuration transmitted by the network device, and / or resolve a measurement gap conflict. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 51 / 260 47 / 63

[0485] Here, the user equipment can resolve the measurement gap conflict based on priority.

[0486] In this example, the following advantages are possessed:

[0487] (1) A solution is provided for the measurement gap conflict problem.

[0488] Specifically, the user equipment transmits the first information to the network to inform the network how the user equipment uses the measurement gap, including the purpose and priority of the preferred measurement gap, so as to help the network know how the user equipment uses the measurement gap, thus ensuring that the information on the use of measurement or measurement gap between the user equipment and the network is consistent, so that it can be avoided that, in case of conflict in measurement gaps, the user equipment eliminates the measurement gap used for a relatively important function or operation, resulting in the inability of the user equipment to complete the function or operation.

[0489] (2) The user equipment may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferred measurement gap explicitly, or may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferred measurement gap implicitly.

[0490] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a specific implementation flow of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes steps 401 to 402.

[0491] Step 401: receiving, by a user device, a second piece of information transmitted over a network.

[0492] The second piece of information includes:

[0493] measurement gap; and / or,

[0494] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0495] priority. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 52 / 260 48 / 63

[0496] Here, the measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information configured by the network for the user equipment; the purpose of the measurement gap represents the purpose of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment; and the priority represents the priority of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment.

[0497] Here, the configuration related to the measurement gap, priority and purpose of the measurement gap indicated by the network is used for subsequent measurements related to the UE.

[0498] Here, the purpose of the measurement gap includes:

[0499] pagination reception; and / or,

[0500] reception of transmissions; and / or,

[0501] receiving system messages; and / or,

[0502] measurement for RRM; and / or,

[0503] intrafrequency measurement; and / or,

[0504] interfrequency measurement; and / or,

[0505] measurement for delivery; and / or,

[0506] layer 1 measurement.

[0507] Here, if the same measurement gap is used for different purposes, the measurement gap has different priorities when used for different purposes.

[0508] Step 402: Perform, by the user equipment, corresponding usage purposes or operations on the measurement gap according to the second information configured by the network, and / or resolve the measurement gap conflict.

[0509] Here, the user equipment can resolve the measurement gap conflict based on priority.

[0510] In this example, the following advantages are possessed.

[0511] (1) A solution is provided for the measurement gap conflict problem. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 53 / 260 49 / 63

[0512] Specifically, the user equipment receives the second piece of information transmitted by the network, so that the information about the use of the measurement gap between the user equipment and the network is consistent. In this way, it can be avoided that, in case of a conflict in the measurement gaps, the user equipment eliminates the measurement gap used for a relatively important function or operation, resulting in the inability of the user equipment to complete the function or operation.

[0513] (2) The user equipment may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferred measurement gap explicitly, or may notify the network of the purpose and priority of the preferred measurement gap implicitly.

[0514] To implement the information transmission method of this disclosure embodiment, an embodiment of this disclosure further provides an information transmission device. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an information transmission device according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the device includes:

[0516] In one embodiment, the first transceiver unit 51 is used to:

[0518] where the first information includes:

[0519] a measurement gap; and / or,

[0520] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0521] priority.

[0522] Here, the measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information that the user equipment expects to use; the purpose of the measurement gap Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 54 / 260 50 / 63 represents the intended measurement gap that the user equipment expects to use; and priority is the EU measurement gap priority preference.

[0524] receive a second piece of information sent over the network;

[0525] where the second piece of information includes:

[0527] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0528] priority.

[0529] Here, the measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information configured by the network for the user equipment; the purpose of the measurement gap represents the purpose of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment; and the priority represents the priority of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment.

[0530] In one embodiment, the purpose of the measurement gap includes:

[0531] pagination reception; and / or,

[0532] reception of transmissions; and / or,

[0533] receiving system messages; and / or,

[0595] In real-world applications, the first transceiver unit 51 can be implemented by a communication interface in the information transmission device.

[0596] It should be noted that the information transmission device provided in the embodiment above, when performing information transmission, is merely exemplified by the division of the program modules above. In practical applications, the processing tasks above can be assigned to different program modules for completion as needed, i.e., dividing the internal structure of the device into different program modules to complete all or part of the processing described above. Furthermore, the information transmission device provided in the embodiments above shares the same concept as the embodiments of the information transmission method. The detailed implementation process is described in the embodiments of the method and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0597] To implement the information transmission method of the embodiment of this disclosure, an embodiment of this disclosure further provides an information transmission device. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an information transmission device according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the device includes:

[0598] a second transceiver unit 61 used to receive the first information, wherein the first information relates to the measurement or measurement gap; and / or transmit the second information, wherein the second information relates to the measurement or measurement gap.

[0599] In one embodiment, the second transceiver unit 61 is used to:

[0600] receive the first information transmitted by a user's equipment;

[0601] where the first piece of information includes:

[0602] a measurement gap; and / or,

[0603] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0604] priority. Petition 870250086407, dated 09 / 24 / 2025, page 59 / 260 55 / 63

[0605] Here, measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information that the user equipment expects to use; measurement gap purpose represents the measurement gap purpose that the user equipment expects to use; and priority is the EU measurement gap priority preference.

[0606] In one embodiment, the second transceiver unit 61 is used to:

[0607] transmit the second piece of information to the user's equipment;

[0608] where the second piece of information includes:

[0609] measurement gap; and / or,

[0610] purpose of the measurement gap; and / or,

[0611] priority.

[0612] Here, the measurement gap represents relevant measurement gap information configured by the network for the user equipment; the purpose of the measurement gap represents the purpose of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment; and the priority represents the priority of the measurement gap configured by the network for the user equipment.
