Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a signal measurement method, apparatus, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In New Radio (NR) systems, mobile terminals can measure signals at different frequencies to obtain better quality communication signals. Since communication between the mobile terminal and the serving cell and the measurement of surrounding communication signals cannot be performed simultaneously, communication with the serving cell needs to be paused during a pre-configured measurement interval (GAP) to dedicate time to signal measurement.

[0003] In related technologies, the configuration of measurement gaps on network devices and mobile devices is relatively simple and lacks flexibility. For example, network devices can only be configured with one per-UE measurement gap and cannot be configured with a per-FR1 measurement gap or a per-FR2 measurement gap at the same time.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0224] The technical solutions provided in this application can be applied to various systems, especially 5G systems. For example, applicable systems include Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and 5G New Radio (NR). All of these systems include terminal equipment and network equipment. The systems may also include a core network component, such as Evolved Packet System (EPS) and 5G system (5GS).

[0225] The terminal devices involved in the embodiments of this application can be devices that provide voice and / or data connectivity to users, handheld devices with wireless connectivity, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The names of the terminal devices may differ in different systems; for example, in a 5G system, a terminal device can be called User Equipment (UE). Wireless terminal devices can communicate with one or more core networks (CNs) via a Radio Access Network (RAN). Wireless terminal devices can be mobile terminal devices, such as mobile phones (or "cellular" phones) and computers with mobile terminal devices, for example, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile devices that exchange voice and / or data with the RAN. Examples include Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Wireless terminal equipment can also be referred to as a system, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, or user device, but is not limited to these terms in the embodiments of this application.

[0226] The network device involved in this application embodiment can be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services to terminals. Depending on the specific application, a base station may also be called an access point, or a device in an access network that communicates with a wireless terminal device through one or more sectors on the air interface, or other names. The network device can be used to exchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, where the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device can also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network equipment involved in the embodiments of this application can be a base transceiver station (BTS) in a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a NodeB in a Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, an evolved Node B (eNB or e-NodeB) in a long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in a next generation system, a Home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a femto, a pico, etc., and is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0227] Network devices and terminal devices can each use one or more antennas for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) or multiple-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the configuration and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be 2D-MIMO, 3D-MIMO, FD-MIMO, or massive-MIMO, and can also be diversity transmission, precoding transmission, or beamforming transmission, etc.

[0228] Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating the application scenarios provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a communication system 100, which includes a network device 110 and multiple terminal devices 120. This embodiment uses three terminal devices 120 as an example. The location of the terminal devices 120 changes as the user's location moves from one cell to another. Therefore, the terminal devices 120 need to measure the signals of different frequency points or different neighboring cells in order to switch to a frequency point (a frequency point is a fixed frequency band number) or cell with better signal quality.

[0229] Due to limitations in the capabilities of the radio frequency (RF) module on the terminal device, it cannot operate simultaneously on multiple frequencies. Therefore, a measurement gap (GAP) configuration is required when performing signal measurements. The measurement gap comprises one or more duration segments during which the terminal device suspends communication with the network equipment of the serving cell (where the serving cell refers to the cellular cell currently providing service to the terminal device) and measures the communication signals of adjacent cells or the communication signals of one or more frequencies.

[0230] In NR systems, there are three types of measurement gaps: per-UE measurement gap, per-FR1 measurement gap, and per-FR2 measurement gap. The per-UE measurement gap is applicable to all frequencies and can measure communication signals at all frequencies. The per-FR1 measurement gap is suitable for measuring communication signals within Frequency Range 1 (FR1), and the per-FR2 measurement gap is suitable for measuring communication signals within Frequency Range 2 (FR2).

[0231] Among them, FR1 belongs to the mid-low frequency range, specifically 450MHz to 6000MHz, and FR2 belongs to the high frequency range, specifically 24250MHz to 52600MHz.

[0232] In related technologies, when a per-UE measurement gap is already configured on network and terminal devices, they cannot configure per-FR1 and per-FR2 measurement gaps, or they can only configure one per-FR1 and / or one per-FR2 measurement gap. If it is necessary to measure communication signals at different frequency points (or frequencies), the measurement gaps need to be reconfigured multiple times. For example, by configuring the FR1 measurement gap for measuring communication signals whose frequency meets FR1, if it is necessary to measure communication signals whose frequency meets FR2, the network and terminal devices need to reconfigure the FR2 measurement gap.

[0233] As can be seen, the above configuration method has a relatively simple measurement interval configuration each time, and the test interval configuration is not flexible enough. This increases the workload of network devices and interrupt devices during signal measurement, which not only fails to guarantee the timeliness of measurement, but also affects the communication services between network devices and terminal devices.

[0234] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this application provide a signal measurement method, apparatus, device, and medium. In the signal measurement method provided in this application, a terminal device receives first information sent by a network device. This first information includes configuration information for multiple measurement gaps, instructing the terminal device to configure the measurement gaps. The terminal device determines the execution time period for each measurement gap based on the configuration information and performs signal measurements according to the execution time period of each measurement gap. Therefore, by sending configuration information for multiple measurement gaps from the network device to the terminal device and determining the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the configuration information, embodiments of this application can configure multiple measurement gaps at once, increasing the diversity and flexibility of the configured measurement gaps. This further facilitates timely signal measurement and reduces the impact of signal measurement on communication services between the network device and the terminal device.

[0235] The methods and apparatus provided in the embodiments of this application are based on the same concept. Since the methods and apparatus solve problems in similar ways, the implementation of the apparatus and methods can refer to each other, and repeated parts will not be described again.

[0236] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a signal measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include:

[0237] S201. The network device sends first information to the terminal device, the first information being used to instruct the terminal device to configure the measurement gap, the first information including configuration information for one or more measurement gaps.

[0238] In this embodiment, before performing signal measurement, the network device may send first information to the terminal device, instructing the terminal device to configure multiple measurement gaps, so that the terminal device can perform signal measurement according to the configured multiple measurement gaps. After receiving the first information sent by the network device, the terminal device can obtain the configuration information of the multiple measurement gaps from the first information.

[0239] The configuration information for the measurement gap may include the time information of the measurement gap, such as the start time and end time of the measurement gap.

[0240] Optionally, multiple measurement gaps may include at least two measurement gaps of the same type. Therefore, the terminal device can configure two or more measurement gaps of the same type, improving the flexibility of measurement gap configuration. For example, it can measure different frequencies or different communication signals at different times, or measure communication signals of different frequencies or different cells with different measurement durations, without requiring multiple configurations.

[0241] Optionally, the measurement gap type includes one or more of the following: per-UE measurement gap, per-FR1 measurement gap, and per-FR2 measurement gap.

[0242] Furthermore, the multiple measurement gaps in the first information include at least two per-UE measurement gaps, at least two per-FR1 measurement gaps, or at least two per-FR2 measurement gaps, enabling the configuration of multiple measurement gaps of the same type. After one configuration, the measurement of communication signals at different frequency points or different cells can be achieved.

[0243] S202. The terminal device determines one or more execution time periods for each measurement gap based on the configuration information.

[0244] Each measurement gap includes one or more execution time periods.

[0245] In this embodiment, after obtaining the configuration information of multiple measurement gaps, the terminal device can determine the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the time information in the configuration information of the multiple measurement gaps. For example, the execution time period in each measurement gap can be determined based on the start time, end time, number of execution time periods, and duration of the duration period in the time information of the measurement gap.

[0246] S203. The network device determines one or more execution time periods for each test interval.

[0247] The network device can also determine the execution time period of each test interval based on the configuration information of multiple test intervals. For details, please refer to the operation of the terminal device, which will not be elaborated here.

[0248] Optionally, after determining the execution time period for each test interval, the terminal device can send the determined execution time period for each test interval to the network device.

[0249] It should be noted that there is no restriction on the order of execution between S202 and S203.

[0250] S204. The terminal equipment performs signal measurements according to the execution time period of each measurement gap.

[0251] In this embodiment, after determining the execution time period for each measurement gap, the terminal device pauses communication with the network device during the execution time period of each measurement gap to measure the surrounding communication signals. For example, it measures the communication signals of a certain frequency point or a certain cell in the surrounding area to obtain the quality of the communication signals of that certain frequency point or cell.

[0252] S205. During the execution time interval of each measurement gap, the network device stops scheduling the terminal device.

[0253] In this embodiment, after determining the execution time period of each test interval, the network device stops scheduling the terminal device to avoid interrupting the signal measurement of the terminal device.

[0254] In this embodiment, the terminal device determines the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the configuration information of multiple measurement gaps indicated by the network device through the first information, and performs signal measurement according to the execution time period of each measurement gap. This enables flexible configuration of multiple measurement gaps, improves the diversity and flexibility of measurement gap configuration, and thus improves the timeliness of signal measurement and reduces the impact of signal measurement on communication services between the terminal device and the network device.

[0255] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the multiple measurement gaps in the first information includes the duration, repetition period, and subframe offset of the multiple measurement gaps. One possible implementation of S202 includes: the terminal device determining one or more execution time periods for each measurement gap based on the duration, repetition period, and subframe offset of the multiple measurement gaps, wherein the execution time period includes the start time and duration of the execution time period.

[0256] The duration of the measurement gap refers to the duration of each execution time period within the measurement gap.

[0257] The repetition period of the measurement gap refers to the time interval between adjacent execution time periods. The measurement gap occurs once within each repetition period; in other words, the execution time period of the measurement gap occurs once every repetition period.

[0258] The subframe offset of the measurement gap is used to determine the start time of the measurement gap, which is also the start time of the first execution time period of the measurement gap.

[0259] Specifically, when determining one or more execution time periods for each measurement gap based on the duration, repetition period, and subframe offset of multiple measurement gaps, the duration of each execution time period within the measurement gap can be determined based on the duration of the measurement gap itself. The start time of the measurement gap, i.e., the start time of the first execution time period within the measurement gap, can be determined based on the start time and repetition period of the first execution time period within the test gap. Finally, the start time and duration of each execution time period within the test gap are obtained.

[0260] Optionally, the configuration information for multiple measurement gaps may also include measurement gap advance. The measurement gap advance represents the advance of the subframe start position of the measurement gap, and its unit of measurement is time (e.g., milliseconds, seconds).

[0261] Optionally, when determining the start time of the test gap, the starting frame number of the measurement gap and the starting subframe number in the starting frame number are determined according to the subframe offset. Then, the starting subframe number in the starting frame number is moved forward by the subframe offset to obtain the time when the starting subframe number is located, which is the start time of the test gap or the start time of the first execution time period in the test gap.

[0262] For example, the configuration information for the measurement gap includes: Measurement Gap Length (mgl), which is equivalent to the duration of the measurement gap mentioned above; Measurement Gap Repetition Period (mgrp), which is equivalent to the repetition period of the measurement gap mentioned above; Subframe Offset, which can be represented as gapOffset; and Measurement Gap Advance, which can be represented as mgta. Therefore, the formula for determining the starting frame number and the starting subframe number of the measurement gap based on the subframe offset can be exemplarily expressed as follows: where each frame lasts for 10 seconds, each frame includes 10 subframes, each subframe lasts for 0.1 seconds, and the frame number ranges from 0 to 1024.

[0263] SFNmodT = Floor(gapOffset / 10), subframe = gapOffsetmod10. Here, SFN represents the starting frame number, T = mgrp / 10, gapframe represents the subframe number, and Floor() represents the floor function.

[0264] Optionally, at least two measurement gaps may have the same repetition period, and / or at least two measurement gaps may have the same duration, and / or at least two measurement gaps may have the same measurement gap advance. Therefore, the network device can configure at least two measurement gaps with consistent repetition periods, consistent durations, and / or consistent measurement gap advances using the first information, improving the flexibility of measurement gap configuration.

[0265] As an example, the network device configures the per-UE measurement gap 1 to the terminal device with the following parameters: repetition period = 20ms, subframe offset = 1ms, duration = 1.5ms, measurement gap advance = 0ms. According to the calculation formula of the measurement gap, the SFN and the first subframe that appear periodically in the measurement gap 1 satisfy the following conditions: SFN mod2 = FLOOR(1 / 10), subframe = 1 mod10 = 1, thus obtaining the starting frame number and starting subframe number of the test gap 1.

[0266] Simultaneously, the network device configures measurement gap 2 per UE to the terminal device, with the following parameters: repetition period = 40ms, subframe offset = 5ms, duration = 3ms, and measurement gap advance = 0ms. According to the calculation formula for the measurement gap, the periodically occurring SFN and the first subframe of measurement gap 2 satisfy the following conditions: SFN mod 4 = FLOOR(5 / 10), subframe = 5 mod 10 = 5. The starting frame number and starting subframe number of test gap 2 are then obtained.

[0267] in, Figure 3 This is an example diagram showing the distribution of measurement gap 1 and measurement gap 2. Figure 3 The solid boxes in the diagram represent the execution time period of measurement gap 1, and the dashed boxes represent the execution time period of measurement gap 2. The first frame indicates the first frame number, the second frame indicates the second frame number, and each frame includes ten subframes.

[0268] In some embodiments, the first information includes shared parameters and configuration information for multiple measurement gaps, wherein the shared parameters include one or more of the following: shared repetition period, shared duration, shared measurement gap advance, and shared measurement gap subframe offset. A possible implementation of S201 includes: the terminal device receiving first information sent by the network device, the first information instructing the terminal device to configure the measurement gaps, the first information including shared parameters and configuration information for multiple measurement gaps. Correspondingly, a possible implementation of S202 includes: the terminal device determining one or more execution time periods for each measurement gap based on the shared parameters and the configuration information for multiple measurement gaps.

[0269] The configuration information for the measurement gap includes parameters that differ from the shared parameters, such as the measurement gap repetition period, duration, subframe offset, and / or measurement gap advance.

[0270] Specifically, if the shared parameter is a shared repetition period, the configuration information for the measurement gap includes the duration of the measurement gap and the subframe offset, and may also include the measurement gap advance. When determining the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the shared parameter and the configuration information of multiple measurement gaps, the shared repetition period can be used as the repetition period of each measurement gap. This allows for configuring the execution time periods of multiple measurement gaps within the same shared repetition period, eliminating the need for network devices to configure a separate repetition period for each measurement gap, thus improving the simplicity and flexibility of measurement gap configuration.

[0271] Specifically, if the shared parameter is a shared duration, the configuration information for the measurement gap includes the repetition period and subframe offset of the measurement gap, and may also include the test gap advance. When determining the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the shared parameter and the configuration information of multiple measurement gaps, the shared duration can be used as the duration of each measurement gap. This enables the configuration of multiple measurement gaps with consistent durations, eliminating the need for network devices to configure the duration separately for each measurement gap, thus improving the simplicity and flexibility of measurement gap configuration.

[0272] Specifically, if the shared parameter is a shared measurement gap advance, the configuration information of the measurement gap includes the duration, repetition period, and subframe offset of the measurement gap. When determining the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the shared parameter and the configuration information of multiple measurement gaps, the shared measurement gap advance can be used as the measurement gap advance of each measurement gap. This eliminates the need for network devices to configure the duration of each measurement gap separately, improving the simplicity and flexibility of measurement gap configuration.

[0273] Specifically, if the shared parameter is the shared measurement gap subframe offset, the configuration information of the measurement gap includes the duration and repetition period of the measurement gap, and may also include the measurement gap advance. When determining the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the shared parameter and the configuration information of multiple measurement gaps, the shared measurement gap subframe offset can be used as the subframe offset of each measurement gap, thus eliminating the need for network devices to configure the duration separately for each measurement gap, improving the simplicity and flexibility of measurement gap configuration.

[0274] Specifically, the shared parameters can be any combination of shared repetition period, shared duration, shared measurement gap advance, and shared measurement gap subframe offset. If the shared parameters include the shared repetition period, the configuration information of the measurement gap may not include the repetition period of the measurement gap; if the shared parameters include the shared duration, the configuration information of the measurement gap may not include the duration of the measurement gap; if the shared parameters include the shared measurement gap advance, the configuration information of the measurement gap may not include the advance; if the shared parameters include the shared measurement gap subframe offset, the configuration information of the measurement gap may not include the subframe offset of the measurement gap.

[0275] In summary, network devices can instruct terminal devices to share parameters, enabling the same parameters to be configured for different measurement gaps, thus improving the simplicity and flexibility of measurement gap configuration.

[0276] As an example, taking the shared repetition period as the shared parameter, the network device configures the shared repetition period to be 40ms for the terminal device, and also configures per-FR1 measurement gap 3 and per-FR1 measurement gap 4 for the terminal device. The configuration parameters for per-FR1 measurement gap 3 are: duration = 1.5ms, subframe offset = 1ms, and measurement gap advance = 0ms. The configuration parameters for per-FR1 measurement gap 4 are: duration = 3ms, subframe offset = 5ms, and measurement gap advance = 0ms. The measurement gap advance of measurement gaps 3 and 4 are equal, which can also be achieved by configuring a shared measurement gap advance, without the need for separate configuration.

[0277] in, Figure 4 This is an example diagram showing the distribution of measurement gaps 3 and 4. Figure 4 The solid boxes in the diagram represent the execution time period of measurement gap 3, and the dashed boxes represent the execution time period of measurement gap 4. The first frame indicates the first frame number, the second frame indicates the second frame number, and each frame includes ten subframes.

[0278] Based on any of the above embodiments Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a signal measurement method provided in another embodiment of this application. Figure 5As shown, the method in this embodiment may include:

[0279] S501. The network device sends first information to the terminal device. The first information is used to instruct the terminal device to configure the measurement gap. The first information includes configuration information for one or more measurement gaps.

[0280] The specific implementation principle and process of S501 can be found in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0281] S502. The terminal device determines one or more execution time periods for each measurement gap based on the configuration information.

[0282] The specific implementation principle and process of S502 can be found in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0283] S503, The network device determines one or more execution time periods for each test interval.

[0284] The specific implementation principle and process of S503 can be found in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0285] S504. The terminal equipment obtains the applicable range of each measurement gap.

[0286] The applicable scope of the measurement gap includes one or more of the following: one or more measurement objects corresponding to the measurement gap, and one or more subset bandwidths (BWP) corresponding to the measurement gap. Here, BWP is a subset of the total cell bandwidth. In NR networks, bandwidth adaptation allows for flexible adjustment of the receiving and transmitting bandwidths of terminal devices, ensuring that the receiving and transmitting bandwidths of the terminal devices do not need to be as large as the total cell bandwidth, thus saving terminal device power.

[0287] The measurement gap may include one or more frequency points and / or cells to be measured, so as to measure the signals of the frequency points and / or cells in multiple measurement gaps.

[0288] Optionally, the first information includes the applicable range of multiple measurement gaps, and the terminal device can obtain the applicable range of multiple measurement gaps from the first information. Alternatively, the network device can also send the applicable range of multiple measurement gaps to the terminal device through other information.

[0289] Optionally, if the first information does not contain the applicable ranges of multiple measurement gaps, and the network device does not send the applicable ranges of multiple measurement gaps to the terminal device through other information, the terminal device can determine the applicable range corresponding to the measurement gap based on the preset applicable ranges. The preset applicable ranges include one or more of the following: a preset object to be measured, a preset subset bandwidth, and the subset bandwidth currently activated by the terminal device.

[0290] The preset test objects include preset test frequencies and / or test cells. For example, the preset test frequencies can be all frequencies, and the preset test cells can be all cells that the terminal device can detect communication signals from.

[0291] The preset subset bandwidth can be the initial subset bandwidth on the terminal device.

[0292] S505 and terminal equipment perform signal measurements according to the execution time period and applicable scope of each measurement gap.

[0293] In this embodiment, the terminal device performs signal measurement on communication signals that conform to the applicable range of the terminal device during the execution time period of each measurement interval.

[0294] Optionally, if the applicable scope of the measurement gap includes one or more measurement objects corresponding to the measurement gap, then for each measurement gap, signal measurements are performed on the one or more measurement objects corresponding to the measurement gap during the execution time period of the measurement gap. For example, signal measurements are performed on the communication signals of one or more frequency points corresponding to the measurement gap, and / or signal measurements are performed on the communication signals of one or more cells corresponding to the measurement gap.

[0295] As an example, the measurement objects corresponding to measurement gap 1 include {measurement object 1, measurement object 2}, and the measurement objects corresponding to measurement gap 2 include {measurement object 5, measurement object 7}. In this case, the terminal device uses measurement gap 1 to perform measurement on measurement object 1 and measurement object 2, and uses measurement gap 2 to perform measurement on measurement object 5 and measurement object 7.

[0296] Optionally, if the applicable range of the measurement gap includes one or more subset bandwidths corresponding to the measurement gap, then each measurement gap is filtered according to the subset bandwidth activated by the terminal device and the one or more subset bandwidths corresponding to each measurement gap, and signal measurement is performed during the execution time of each filtered measurement gap. Here, filtering each measurement gap according to the subset bandwidth activated by the terminal device and the one or more subset bandwidths corresponding to each measurement gap means selecting the measurement gaps corresponding to the subset bandwidth activated by the terminal device.

[0297] As an example, the subset bandwidth corresponding to measurement gap 1 includes {subset bandwidth 1, subset bandwidth 2, subset bandwidth 3}, and the subset bandwidth corresponding to measurement gap 2 includes {subset bandwidth 4, subset bandwidth 5}. In this case, if the subset bandwidth activated by the terminal device is subset bandwidth 5, then the terminal device uses measurement gap 2; if the subset bandwidth activated by the terminal device is subset bandwidth 1 and subset bandwidth 4, then the terminal device can use both measurement gap 1 and measurement gap 2.

[0298] S506. During the execution time interval of each measurement gap, the network device stops scheduling the terminal device.

[0299] The specific implementation principle and process of S506 can be found in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0300] In this embodiment, the terminal device determines the execution time period of each measurement gap based on the configuration information of multiple measurement gaps, and performs signal measurement according to the execution time period and applicable scope of each measurement gap. This enables flexible configuration of multiple measurement gaps, improves the diversity and flexibility of measurement gap configuration, and thus improves the timeliness of signal measurement and reduces the impact of signal measurement on communication services between the terminal device and network devices.

[0301] Based on any of the above method embodiments, the execution time periods of different measurement gaps may overlap. Therefore, before performing signal measurement based on the execution time periods of each measurement gap, a feasible way to handle the phenomenon that the execution time periods of different measurement gaps may overlap includes: the terminal device determining whether the execution time periods of different measurement gaps overlap; if so, obtaining multiple overlapping execution time periods; and determining the valid execution time period among the multiple overlapping execution time periods based on the measurement gaps to which the multiple overlapping execution time periods belong.

[0302] Specifically, after determining the execution time period of each measurement gap, the terminal device can compare the execution time periods of each test gap to determine whether the execution time periods of different measurement gaps overlap. For example, if the execution time period of test gap 1 is 0ms to 5ms and the execution time period of measurement gap 2 is 2ms to 10ms, then test gap 1 and test gap 2 overlap.

[0303] Specifically, if there is overlap between the execution time periods of different measurement gaps, it is necessary to determine the effective execution time period for the two or more overlapping execution time periods in order to avoid conflict between measurement operations within different measurement gaps.

[0304] Optionally, when determining the valid execution time period among the multiple overlapping execution time periods based on the measurement gaps to which they belong, the execution time period of the measurement gap with the highest priority among the multiple overlapping execution time periods can be retained as the valid execution time period, and other execution time periods that overlap with the valid execution time period will not be executed.

[0305] For example, if the execution time period t3 of measurement gap 1 coincides with the execution time period s3 of measurement gap 2, and if the priority of measurement gap 1 is higher than that of measurement gap 2, then the execution time period t3 of measurement gap 1 will be included, but the execution time period s3 of measurement gap 2 will not be executed. In other words, the execution time period s3 of measurement gap 2 will be determined as an invalid execution time period.

[0306] For example, the network device configures measurement gap 5 and measurement gap 6 per-UE to the terminal device.

[0307] The configuration parameters for measurement gap 5 are: repetition period = 20ms, subframe offset = 1ms, duration = 1.5ms, and measurement gap advance = 0ms. According to the calculation formula for the measurement gap, the periodic occurrence of the SFN and the first subframe in measurement gap 1 satisfies the following conditions: SFN mod 2 = FLOOR(1 / 10), subframe = 1 mod 10 = 1, thus obtaining the starting frame number and starting subframe number of test gap 5.

[0308] The configuration parameters for measurement gap 6 are as follows: repetition period = 80ms, subframe offset = 19ms, duration = 3ms, and measurement gap advance = 0ms. According to the existing calculation formula for measurement gap, the periodically occurring SFN and the first subframe in measurement gap 3 satisfy the following conditions: SFN mod 8 = FLOOR(19 / 10); subframe = 19 mod 10 = 9. This yields the starting frame number and starting subframe number for test gap 6.

[0309] Figure 6 This is an example diagram showing the distribution of measurement gaps 5 and 6. Figure 6 The solid-line box in the diagram represents the execution time period of measurement gap 5, and the dashed-line box represents the execution time period of measurement gap 6. The first frame indicates the first frame number, the second frame indicates the second frame number, and each frame includes ten subframes. From... Figure 6 It can be seen that the execution time period of measurement gap 5 overlaps with that of measurement gap 6.

[0310] Optionally, when determining the valid execution time period among multiple overlapping execution time periods based on the measurement gaps to which they belong, the union of the multiple overlapping execution time periods is determined as the valid execution time period, and the measurement gap to which the valid execution time period belongs is determined based on the measurement gaps to which they belong.

[0311] Specifically, after determining the union of multiple overlapping execution time periods as the valid execution time period, the measurement gap with the highest priority among the measurement gaps belonging to the multiple overlapping execution time periods can be determined as the measurement gap belonging to the valid execution time period, according to the priority of the measurement gaps; alternatively, configuration information from the network device can be received, which indicates the measurement gap selected from the measurement gaps belonging to the multiple overlapping execution time periods, and this selected measurement gap can be determined as the measurement gap belonging to the valid execution time period; or, the terminal device can randomly select a measurement gap from the measurement gaps belonging to the multiple overlapping execution time periods as the measurement gap belonging to the valid execution time period. During the valid execution time period, signal measurement is performed according to the applicable range of the measurement gap belonging to the valid execution time period.

[0312] For example, if the execution time period t3 of measurement gap 1 coincides with the execution time period s3 of measurement gap 2, the union of the execution time periods t3 and s3 can be determined as the valid execution time period. In addition, the above-mentioned methods can be used to determine the measurement gap to which the valid execution time period belongs between test gap 1 and test gap 2.

[0313] Optionally, before determining the valid execution time period from among the multiple overlapping execution time periods based on the measurement gaps to which they belong, a second piece of information sent by the network device can be received. This second piece of information indicates the measurement gap selected when the execution time periods of different measurement gaps overlap. When determining the valid execution time period from among the multiple overlapping execution time periods based on the measurement gaps to which they belong, the execution time period belonging to the measurement gap indicated by the second piece of information can be determined as the valid execution time period.

[0314] For example, if the execution time period t3 of measurement gap 1 coincides with the execution time period s3 of measurement gap 2, and the network device selects measurement gap 2 when the execution time periods of measurement gap 1 and measurement gap 2 coincide through the second information, then the execution time period s3 of measurement gap 2 will be the valid execution time period.
