Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, specifically relating to a method for determining a measurement gap, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Technology

[0002] In Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements, because inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurements differ from the serving cell's frequency, it's impossible to simultaneously perform serving cell signal transmission and reception and inter-frequency measurements using the same RF chain. Therefore, when the terminal's RF chain is limited, a measurement gap needs to be introduced for measurement.

[0003] In related technologies, a terminal is typically configured with a measurement gap pattern. However, for New Radio (NR), the complexity of the measurement objects is higher, potentially including location information and Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS). The increased complexity in the time domain manifests as an increase in non-periodic measurement objects, or multiple measurement objects (MOs) with different periods and offsets. The increased complexity in the frequency domain manifests as a significant increase in the possible locations of the center frequency of the measurement objects. Currently, to ensure more efficient measurement based on measurement gaps, it is desirable to align multiple MOs (e.g., multiple synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal blocks (or synchronization signal blocks) (SSBs)) as much as possible in the time domain. However, this reduces the flexibility of network configuration.

[0004] To make network configuration more flexible and to reduce the overhead of measurement gaps, multiple measurement gap patterns can be configured for a terminal. However, there is currently no effective solution for how the terminal determines the measurement gap when there are conflicts between the measurement gaps corresponding to the multiple measurement gap patterns configured for a terminal.

The base station is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that in this application embodiment, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example, but the specific type of base station is not limited.

[0033] Due to the limitations of a single measurement gap pattern on terminal measurements, a mechanism supporting the simultaneous configuration of multiple measurement gap patterns can be introduced. Logically, when multiple measurement gap patterns are configured, all MOs requiring measurement using the gap pattern can be grouped. For example, with two measurement gap patterns configured, most MOs are measured using gap pattern 1, while the remaining MOs (which generally have significantly different attributes from the majority of MOs) are measured using gap pattern 2, thus better ensuring the gains from introducing multiple measurement gap patterns.

[0034] When using multiple configured measurement gap patterns, there may be issues. Figures 2a to 2c The three cases shown are, firstly, cases where the gaps between various gap patterns do not overlap at all, such as... Figure 2a As shown. The second type is the case of complete overlap (the periods of the gap patterns can be the same or different), such as... Figure 2b As shown. The third type is the case of partial overlap, such as... Figure 2c As shown, the third case can be considered a general case of the second case, where the offsets of each gap pattern are different. Figure 2b and Figure 2c In the scenario shown, only one of the overlapping gaps (either fully or partially) can be valid, because the terminal can only measure one MO during the time period of the measurement gap. The other measurement gaps can be considered invalid and ignored by the terminal.

[0035] As mentioned above, for overlapping (including partially overlapping) measurement gaps (which can be referred to as conflicting measurement gaps), the terminal can ignore some or even all of them. How to ignore them and which measurement gaps to ignore while meeting performance indicators is a terminal implementation problem.

[0036] One purpose of using multiple gap pattern configurations is to improve system performance (such as throughput), such as... Figure 2b As shown, gap pattern 2 and gap pattern 1 completely overlap. The purpose of configuring gap pattern 2 is to measure certain MOs (Mean Interchanges) using gap pattern 2. These MOs can be measured using shorter gaps; for example, within the measurement gaps specified by NR for Frequency Range (FR) 1, the maximum duration is 6ms and the minimum is 3ms. When some MOs can use shorter measurement durations, using shorter measurement durations can improve system throughput. To achieve this design objective and ensure related performance, how the terminal discards overlapping measurement gaps (i.e., conflicting measurement intervals) is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0037] In one possible implementation of this application, the network-side device can design a measurement gap dropping rule based on the characteristics of multiple gap patterns when measurement gaps overlap (conflict), to ensure improved system performance when multiple gap patterns are configured. The network-side device can notify the terminal of the configured gap dropping rule via Relevant Control Code (RRC) signaling.

[0038] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the method for determining the measurement gap provided in this application through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0039] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a flowchart of a method for determining the measurement gap according to an embodiment of this application. This method 300 can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0040] S310, the terminal obtains indication information of multiple measurement gap modes, wherein the multiple measurement gap modes are measurement gap modes configured by the network-side device for the terminal.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the network-side device configures multiple measurement gap modes for a terminal, for example, in Figures 2a to 2c In this system, one terminal is configured with two measurement gap modes: gap pattern 1 and gap pattern 2.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the periods of multiple measurement gap modes may be the same or different, and no specific limitation is made in the embodiments of this application.

[0043] S312, in the event of a conflict between measurement gaps corresponding to different measurement gap modes, the terminal determines, according to the instruction information, a first target measurement gap to be used and / or a second target measurement gap to be discarded, wherein the first target measurement gap and the second target measurement gap are one or more of the conflicting measurement gaps.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, when there is a conflict between the measurement gaps corresponding to different measurement gap modes among the multiple measurement gap modes configured for the terminal, that is, the measurement gaps corresponding to different measurement gap modes partially or completely overlap, the terminal can determine the first target measurement gap to use and / or the second target measurement gap to discard according to the indication information of each measurement gap mode, thereby realizing a mechanism for configuring multiple measurement gap modes for one terminal to adapt to the needs of the communication system.

[0045] In one possible implementation of this application embodiment, when configuring multiple measurement gap modes for a terminal, all measurement objects requiring measurement using measurement gaps can be grouped. Each measurement gap mode configures a group of measurement objects. Optionally, certain measurement objects with specific attributes can be grouped together. In specific applications, the configuration information of each measurement gap mode can indicate the measurement object corresponding to that measurement gap mode. When a conflict occurs between the measurement gap corresponding to the first measurement gap mode (where the measurement object has specific attributes) and the measurement gap corresponding to the second measurement gap mode (where the measurement gap is other than the first measurement gap mode among multiple measurement gap modes), the terminal can consider using the measurement gap corresponding to the first measurement gap mode for measurement and discard the measurement gaps corresponding to the first measurement gap mode (which can be multiple). In this case, the indication information can include the configuration information of the measurement gap mode. The terminal can determine the conflict resolution based on the configuration information of the measurement gap mode without requiring the network-side device to send additional indication information. For example, in Figure 2b and Figure 2c In this context, assuming that gap pattern 1 is used to measure multiple MOs and gap pattern 2 is used to measure one or more MOs with special attributes, when gap pattern 1 and gap pattern 2 collide (i.e. conflict), the UE will give priority to using the measurement gap of gap pattern 2 for measurement.

[0046] In one possible implementation of this application embodiment, the indication information includes at least one of the following (1)-(4).

[0047] (1) Priority configuration information, which is used to indicate the priority of the measurement gap mode.

[0048] In this possible implementation, the system (e.g., a network-side device) can configure priorities for different measurement gap patterns. For example, the system may specify two or more priorities and configure priorities for different gap patterns. For instance, the network-side device may configure a higher priority for measurement gap patterns used to measure one or more MOs with special attributes, and a lower priority for measurement gap patterns used to measure other MOs.

[0049] In this possible implementation, in S312, the terminal can determine, based on the priority indicated by the priority configuration information, to use a first target measurement gap corresponding to a first measurement gap mode and / or discard a second target measurement gap corresponding to a second measurement gap mode. The first measurement gap mode is the highest priority measurement gap mode among the different measurement gap modes, and the second measurement gap mode is any measurement gap mode other than the first measurement gap mode. With this possible implementation, the network-side device and the terminal have the same understanding of discarded and used measurement gaps when a conflict occurs, thereby further improving system throughput and enhancing system performance.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the network-side device can notify the terminal of gap pattern priority information through configuration information, and the terminal can then resolve gap collision issues based on the priority information. For example, the network-side device can add a new configuration information of length n bits to the configuration information for measuring gaps (such as IE GapConfig or IE MeasGapConfig) to represent 2^n different priorities, and the priority of the gap pattern is specified by these n bits.

[0051] Alternatively, network-side devices can also notify the terminal of measurement gap pattern priority information through dedicated signaling.

[0052] (2) Percentage configuration information, which is used to indicate the percentage of each of the measurement interval modes in a common time period.

[0053] In this possible implementation, the system (e.g., network-side device) can directly specify the percentage of different gap patterns. For example, the system can directly define the percentage of each gap pattern within a common time period on multiple measurement gap patterns, with the sum of all gap pattern percentages being 1. When measurement gaps corresponding to different measurement gap patterns overlap, the terminal can decide which overlapping measurement gap to ignore while ensuring the percentage of each gap pattern.

[0054] In this possible implementation, in S312, while ensuring the proportion of each of the measurement gap modes indicated by the proportion configuration information, the terminal determines to use the first target measurement gap corresponding to the first measurement gap mode and / or discard the second target measurement gap corresponding to the second measurement gap mode.

[0055] For example, network-side devices can configure a lower percentage for measurement gap modes used to measure one or more MOs with special attributes, and a higher percentage for measurement gap modes used to measure other MOs.

[0056] In one possible implementation, the network-side device can notify the terminal of the proportion of each independent measurement gap pattern through configuration information, and the terminal can then resolve the gap collision problem based on the proportion information. For example, the network-side device can configure the proportion of each independent measurement gap pattern as a sequence in the configuration information (such as MeasGapConfig).

[0057] Alternatively, network-side devices can use dedicated signaling to notify the terminal of the percentage of measurement gap patterns.

[0058] (3) Control sequence configuration information, which is used to indicate the measurement gaps that are discarded and / or used when a conflict occurs.

[0059] In this possible implementation, the system (e.g., network-side device) can define a dropping pattern for the measurement gap pattern, controlling which measurement gaps are dropped and which are used at each collision. With this implementation, the network-side device and the terminal have the same understanding of the dropped and used measurement gaps when a collision occurs, thereby further improving system throughput and performance.

[0060] In this possible implementation, in S312, the terminal can determine the first target measurement gap to use and / or the second target measurement gap to discard, according to the instructions of the control sequence configuration information.

[0061] Optionally, the control sequence configuration information indicates the usage of each conflicting measurement interval within n first cycles, wherein the first cycle is the least common multiple of the cycles of the plurality of measurement interval modes, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. When determining the first target measurement interval to use and / or the second target measurement interval to discard, the terminal can, according to the indication of the control sequence configuration information, cycle through n first cycles to determine the first target measurement interval to use and / or the second target measurement interval to discard. For example, assuming that there is only one conflicting measurement interval between measurement interval mode 1 and measurement interval mode 2 in a first cycle, the control sequence configuration information can specify the usage of each conflicting measurement interval in three first cycles as follows: using measurement interval mode 1, using measurement interval mode 2, and using measurement interval mode 1. Then, in the first first cycle, for the two conflicting measurement intervals, the UE determines the first target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 1 and the second target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 2. In the second first cycle, for the two conflicting measurement intervals, the UE determines the first target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 2 and the second target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 1. In the third first cycle, for the two conflicting measurement intervals, the UE determines the first target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 1 and the second target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 2. In the fourth first cycle, for the two conflicting measurement intervals, the UE determines the first target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 1 and the second target measurement interval as the measurement interval corresponding to measurement interval mode 2, and so on.

[0062] Optionally, the control sequence configuration information includes k bit groups, each bit group indicating the usage of each measurement interval of a conflict that occurs within a first period, where m is an integer and 1≤m≤M, M is the number of conflicts that occur within a first period, k is an integer and 1≤k≤K, K is the number of measurement interval modes configured by the terminal.

[0063] In the above possible implementations, if the number of measurement gap conflicts within the first period is more than one, the bit group can indicate that the measurement gap corresponding to the same measurement gap pattern is used and / or the measurement gap corresponding to the same measurement gap pattern is discarded for each conflict, i.e., m = 1; or, it can indicate the usage of the measurement gap at each conflict, i.e., m = M; or, it can indicate in units of two or other quantities. For example, if the number of measurement gap conflicts within a first period is 2, then the bit group consists of 2 bits, indicating the usage of the measurement gap at the first conflict and the usage of the measurement gap at the second conflict within a first period, respectively.

[0064] In the above possible implementations, each measurement gap mode can be indicated by a bit group, or some of the measurement gap modes can be indicated by a bit group respectively. The specific implementation is not limited in this application.

[0065] In a specific application, when the terminal is configured with K measurement gap modes, the network-side device can first specify the measurement gap of the measurement gap mode to be used or discarded when the measurement gaps of two measurement gap modes collide, in pairs, and then specify the measurement gap of the measurement gap mode to be used or discarded when the measurement gaps of three measurement gap modes collide, in groups of three, and so on, until the measurement gap modes are grouped into K measurement gap modes. The least common multiple of the K measurement gap modes is calculated, and the measurement gap of the measurement gap mode to be used or discarded when a collision occurs is specified by a control sequence.

[0066] For example, in Figure 2b and Figure 2c In this system, for every two measurement gap patterns, the least common multiple (LCM) of these two patterns can be calculated. Then, based on the desired dropping rate, different lengths of bits are used, with each bit representing the decision to discard a gap in the two measurement gap patterns when they collide. For example, if there is only one collision (i.e., conflict) during the first cycle (i.e., the length is the LCM of the two measurement gap patterns), a value of 1 indicates use, and 0 indicates rejection. Any two measurement gap patterns can be represented as follows:

[0067] GP1[1]

[0068] GP2[0]; that is, using 1 bit, in which case all gaps in the measurement gap pattern 1 (i.e. GP1) are used when a collision occurs.

[0069] Alternatively, it can be expressed as follows:

[0070] GP1[1 0]

[0071] GP2[0 1]; that is, using 2 bits, it indicates that the gap of GP1 is used for the collision at time 0, and the gap of GP2 is used for the next collision (or the next first cycle (i.e., the least common multiple of the cycles of GP1 and GP2)), and so on for the remaining collisions. At this time, it can be indicated that half of the gaps at the time of the collision are used in gap pattern 1 (or 2).

[0072] Alternatively, it can be expressed as follows:

[0073] GP1[1 1 0]

[0074] GP2[0 0 1]; that is, using 3 bits, it indicates that the gap of GP1 is used for the collision at time 0, the gap of GP1 is used for the next collision (i.e., the collision in the next first cycle), the gap of GP2 is used for the third collision, and so on for the remaining collisions. At this time, it can be indicated that the gap of gap pattern 1 (or 2) is used 67% of the time when a collision occurs.

[0075] Alternatively, it can be expressed as follows:

[0076] GP1[1 1 1 0]

[0077] GP2[0 0 0 1]; that is, using 4 bits, it can represent that when a collision occurs, 75% of the time the gap pattern 1 (or 2) is used.

[0078] In practical applications, when the terminal can determine that there are two measurement gap patterns, it is sufficient to transmit only the control sequence corresponding to one measurement gap pattern.

[0079] In practical applications, for a terminal configured with three measurement gap patterns, we can first define which gap pattern to use or discard in case of a collision by grouping them into pairs. Then, we calculate the least common multiple by grouping them into three pairs and determine which gap pattern to use in case of a collision by controlling the sequence. For example, the sequences using 1, 2, and 3 bits can be represented as follows:

[0080] GP1[1], GP2[0], GP3[0];

[0081] GP1[1 0], GP2[0 1], GP3[0 0];

[0082] GP1[1 0 0], GP2[0 1 0], GP3[0 0 1].

[0083] For a terminal configured with more than three measurement gap patterns, the processing principles and methods are similar to those for a terminal configured with three measurement gap patterns, and will not be described further in the embodiments of this application.

[0084] Optionally, the control sequence configuration information for each independent measurement gap pattern, representing the use and / or abandonment of the control sequence during a collision, can be configured in the configuration information of its measurement gap pattern (such as MeasGapConfig).

[0085] Alternatively, the control sequence configuration information for each measurement gap mode can also be indicated by dedicated target signaling.

[0086] (4) Indication information for one or more target measurement objects. That is, the indication information can indicate one or more target measurement objects.

[0087] In this possible implementation, in S312, the terminal determines the first target measurement gap to use and / or the second target measurement gap to discard based on the indication information. This includes: the terminal, according to one or more target measurement objects indicated by the indication information, determines the first target measurement gap corresponding to the first measurement gap mode to use and / or the second target measurement gap corresponding to the second measurement gap mode to discard. The one or more target measurement objects are one or more of a plurality of measurement objects in the first measurement gap mode, and the second measurement gap mode is a measurement gap mode other than the first measurement gap mode among the different measurement gap modes. In other words, in this possible implementation, the network-side device can indicate one or more target measurement objects, and when a measurement gap conflict occurs, the terminal uses the measurement gap of the first measurement gap mode corresponding to the one or more target measurement objects for measurement. The one or more target measurement objects can be one or more of a plurality of measurement objects configured in the first measurement gap mode.

[0088] In one possible implementation, the indication information may be carried in the configuration information of the measurement gap mode.

[0089] Alternatively, in another possible implementation, the indication information can be carried via target signaling. In S310, the terminal acquires indication information for multiple measurement gap modes, including: the terminal receives target signaling sent by the network-side device, wherein the target signaling carries the indication information.

[0090] It should be noted that although the above description illustrates how the terminal determines the first target measurement gap to be used and / or the second target measurement gap to be discarded by including one of the indication information, in specific applications, the indication information may also include two or three of the above. The terminal can combine the two or three of the above to determine the first target measurement gap to be used and / or the second target measurement gap to be discarded. For example, if the terminal is configured with three measurement gap modes, where two measurement gap modes have the same priority and a higher priority than another measurement gap mode, and if the measurement gaps of the two measurement gap modes conflict, the terminal can combine the proportion information of these two measurement gap modes to determine the first target measurement gap to be used and / or the second target measurement gap to be discarded.

[0091] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates a flow chart of a gap measurement indication method provided in an embodiment of this application. This method 400 can be executed by a network-side device. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the network-side device. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0092] S410, the network-side device sends indication information for multiple measurement gap modes to the terminal, wherein the multiple measurement gap modes are measurement gap modes configured by the network-side device for the terminal, and the indication information is used to determine a first target measurement gap to use and / or a second target measurement gap to discard when there is a conflict between the measurement gaps corresponding to different measurement gap modes, wherein the first target measurement gap and the second target measurement gap are one or more of the conflicting measurement gaps.

[0093] In this embodiment, the network-side device may send the indication information when configuring multiple measurement gap modes for the terminal, or it may send the indication information after configuring multiple measurement gap modes for the terminal. The specific implementation of this embodiment is not limited.

[0094] The indication information is the same as that in method 300. This embodiment mainly describes the behavior related to network-side devices. For other matters not covered, please refer to the description in method 300 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0095] In this embodiment of the application, when there is a conflict between the measurement gaps corresponding to different measurement gap modes, the network-side device can determine the first target measurement gap used by the terminal and / or the second target measurement gap discarded in a manner corresponding to the terminal. The first target measurement gap and the second target measurement gap are one or more measurement gaps among the conflicting multiple measurement gaps. For details, please refer to the relevant description in method 300, which will not be repeated here.

[0096] Optionally, the indication information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0097] (1) Priority configuration information, which is used to indicate the priority of the measurement gap mode.

[0098] In this possible implementation, the network-side device can directly specify the priority of different gap patterns, such as specifying two or more priorities and configuring priorities for different measurement gap patterns. The network-side device can notify the terminal of the priority information of the measurement gap pattern through the configuration information, and the terminal can resolve the gap collision problem according to the priority information.

[0099] For example, network-side devices can add a new configuration information of length n bits to the measurement gap configuration information (such as IE GapConfig or IEMeasGapConfig) to represent 2^n different priorities, the priority of the measurement gap mode is specified by these n bits.

[0100] (2) Percentage configuration information, which is used to indicate the percentage of each of the measurement interval modes in a common time period.

[0101] In this possible implementation, the network-side device directly specifies the percentage of different measurement gap modes. For example, the network-side device directly defines the percentage of each measurement gap mode over a common time period, and the sum of the percentages of all measurement gap modes is 1. The terminal can then decide which overlapping measurement gap to ignore while ensuring the percentage of each measurement gap mode is maintained.

[0102] Optionally, the percentage information of each independent measurement gap mode can be configured as a sequence in the configuration information (such as MeasGapConfig).

[0103] (3) Control sequence configuration information, which is used to indicate the measurement gaps that are discarded and / or used when a conflict occurs.

[0104] The network-side equipment specifies a dropping pattern for measurement gaps, which controls which measurement gaps are discarded and which are used at each collision.

[0105] Optionally, the control sequence configuration information refers to the usage of each measurement interval that conflicts within n first periods, wherein the first period is the least common multiple of the periods of the plurality of measurement interval modes, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0106] Furthermore, the control sequence configuration information includes k bit groups, each bit group indicating the usage of each measurement interval of a conflict that occurs within a first period, where m is an integer and 1≤m≤M, M is the number of conflicts that occur within a first period, k is an integer and 1≤k≤K, K is the number of measurement interval modes configured by the terminal.

[0107] like Figure 2b and Figure 2c In this process, for every two gap patterns, the network-side device can calculate the least common multiple of the two measurement gap patterns. Then, based on the desired dropping rate, different lengths of bits are used, with each bit representing the trade-off when a gap collision occurs between the two gap patterns. See the relevant description in method 300 for details.

[0108] (4) Instruction information for one or more target measurement objects. That is, the network-side device instructs that when a conflict occurs, the measurement gap corresponding to the measurement gap mode configured with the one or more target measurement objects should be used, and other conflicting measurement gaps should be discarded.

[0109] In one possible implementation, the network-side device may carry the indication information in the configuration information of the measurement gap mode.

[0110] In another possible implementation, the network-side device may use a dedicated signaling to send the indication information to the terminal. Therefore, in this possible implementation, the network-side device sends indication information for multiple measurement gap modes to the terminal, including: the network-side device sends target signaling to the terminal, wherein the target signaling carries the indication information.
