[0120] In the existing technical solution, R16 is discussing whether the terminal needs to report the measurement interval (Need for gap). By reporting the terminal's capabilities, the overhead caused by the measurement interval can be further reduced. However, there are several problems that need to be solved:

[0121] 1. How to reduce signaling overhead? Since the terminal supports many frequency bands and frequency band combinations, if the terminal reports all situations, it will lead to high signaling overhead.

[0122] For example, if the terminal supports 20 New Radio (NR) bands and 20 NR band combinations, the terminal needs to report whether a measurement interval is required for each NR band measurement under each NR band and NR band combination, that is, it needs to report whether a measurement interval is required in 20×20+20×20=800 cases. As the terminal becomes more and more complex, more and more carrier aggregation combinations are supported, and the required signaling overhead is also greater. However, the actual terminal does not use all supported bands in an operator's network.

[0123] 2. The Need for gap capability report was introduced in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. This capability reflects whether the terminal hardware capability can simultaneously receive signals from different frequency bands. However, the NR design is more complex, and there are different subcarrier spacings. Whether signals with different subcarrier spacings can be received depends on the baseband capability of the terminal. At the same time, the NR system bandwidth is larger, and the terminal baseband measurement searcher capability will also affect the measurement configuration.

[0124] 3. NR introduced the situation where measurement intervals are required for the same frequency in R15. At the same time, R16 is also discussing the situation where measurement intervals are not required for different frequencies. Whether a measurement interval is required depends on whether the measured reference signal is in the activated bandwidth part (BandWidth Part, BWP). The configuration of BWP can be very dynamic (through downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) scheduling, etc.), while the reporting of terminal capabilities is relatively static. How the Need for gap capability and measurement configuration can adapt to the flexible configuration of NR system BWP also needs to be solved.

[0212] Step 3: The network side sends frequency band information to instruct the terminal to report whether measurement intervals are required for SSB measurements in frequency bands 1, 2, and 3;

[0213] Step 4: The terminal reports the second information;

[0214] Optionally, the second information includes one or more of the following combinations:

[0215] a) Band 1, same subcarrier space (SCS) (measure SSB and SCS of serving cell data), no gap measurement required;

[0216] b) Band 1, different SCS (SCS for measuring SSB and serving cell data), measurement interval required;

[0217] c) Band 2, same SCS (measure SSB and SCS of serving cell data), measurement interval required;

[0218] d) Band 2, different SCS (SCS for measuring SSB and serving cell data), measurement interval is required.

[0219] Step 5: The terminal receives the configuration of the measurement frequency and measurement interval sent by the network side;

[0220] a) The measurement frequency f1 belongs to frequency band 1, and the measurement frequency f2 belongs to frequency band 2. The SSB of the measurement frequency f1 is different from the SCS of the serving cell data, and the SSB of the measurement frequency f2 is different from the SCS of the serving cell data. Therefore, the measurement interval needs to be configured.

[0221] b) The configuration of the measurement interval may include one or more of the following combinations: measurement period, offset, and duration.

[0222] Step 6: The terminal supports heterodyne and does not require a measurement interval.

[0235] b) The configuration of the measurement interval may include: measurement period, offset and duration.

[0236] Step 6: The terminal supports inter-frequency measurement without the need for a measurement interval. When the reference symbol to be measured is in the activated BWP of the terminal, no measurement interval is required for the measurement. During intra-frequency measurement, when the reference symbol to be measured is in the activated BWP, no measurement interval is required for the measurement.
