[0042] As Figure 2 shown, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and includes:

[0043] Step S21: Receive the capability indication information reported by the UE. Among them, the capability indication information at least indicates the configuration of the measurement interval supported by the UE.

[0044] In one embodiment, the base station may be various types of base stations; for example, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station, or other evolved base stations.

[0045] In one embodiment, the UE may be various mobile terminals or fixed terminals. For example, the UE may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a computer, a server, a wearable device, a game control platform, or a multimedia device, etc.

[0046] In one embodiment, the capability indication information at least indicates at least one of the following:

[0047] The number of measurement interval configurations, indicating the number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE;

[0048] The type of measurement interval configuration, indicating the type of measurement interval supported by the UE.

[0049] Exemplarily, the number of measurement interval configurations may indicate that the number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE is one or more. When the UE supports multiple measurement intervals, they may be multiple measurement intervals of the same measurement interval type, or they may also be multiple measurement intervals of different measurement interval types.

[0050] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include: receiving capability indication information reported by a UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the number of configured measurement intervals supported by the UE.

[0051] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include: receiving capability indication information reported by a UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the type of measurement interval supported by the UE.

[0052] In one embodiment, the measurement interval configuration type includes at least one of the following:

[0053] The measurement interval supported by the UE is a network-controlled small gap (NCSG) measurement interval;

[0054] The measurement interval supported by the UE is a pre-configured measurement interval;

[0055] The measurement interval supported by the UE is an independent measurement interval.

[0056] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include: receiving capability indication information reported by a UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate that the UE supports the NCSG measurement interval.

[0057] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include: the base station receiving capability indication information reported by a UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate that the UE supports a pre-configured measurement interval.

[0058] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include: the base station receiving capability indication information reported by a UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate that the UE supports an independent measurement interval.

[0059] In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station can receive the capability indication information indicating the type of measurement interval supported by the UE, so that the base station knows the type of measurement interval supported by the UE, and then can configure a suitable type of measurement interval for the UE, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of configuring the measurement interval for the UE.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that the base station receives the capability indication information reported by the UE, where the capability indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the UE does not support the NCSG measurement interval; the UE does not support the pre-configured measurement interval; the UE does not support the independent measurement interval. In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the type of measurement interval that the UE does not support can also be reported through the capability indication information, so that the base station knows which types of measurement intervals the UE does not support; thus, it is beneficial to reduce the configuration of inappropriate measurement intervals for the UE. In this way, the probability that the UE cannot efficiently and accurately measure the reference signal or cannot measure the reference signal based on the configuration of the inappropriate measurement interval type can be reduced.

[0061] It is possible to receive, by the base station, the capability indication information reported by the UE, where the capability indication information is used to indicate the configuration of the measurement interval supported by the UE. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can enable the base station to know the configuration of the measurement interval that the UE can support, so that the base station can configure the corresponding measurement interval for the UE, so that the UE can work in a suitable measurement interval to improve the configuration effect of the measurement interval and the measurement efficiency of the effective configuration. Moreover, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also configure the corresponding measurement interval according to the measurement interval supported by the UE, thereby improving the flexibility of the base station to configure the measurement interval for the UE.

[0062] In one embodiment, the number of measurement interval configurations includes one of the following:

[0063] The number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE in one frequency range;

[0064] The number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE in multiple frequency ranges.

[0065] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for processing a measurement interval. The method is executed by a base station and may include: receiving the capability indication information reported by the UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the configuration of supporting one measurement interval in one frequency range. For example, the capability indication information is used to indicate the configuration of supporting one measurement interval in FR1.

[0066] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for processing a measurement interval. The method is executed by a base station and may include: receiving the capability indication information reported by the UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the configuration of supporting at least two measurement intervals in one frequency range. For example, the capability indication information is used to indicate the configuration of supporting two measurement intervals in FR1.

[0067] Exemplarily, the measurement interval indication information may indicate supporting at least two measurement intervals in FR1.

[0068] At least two of the measurement intervals here are of the same measurement interval type. For example, at least two measurement intervals can both be NCSG measurement intervals; for another example, at least two can both be pre-configured measurement intervals; for yet another example, at least two measurement intervals can both be independent measurement intervals. When at least two measurement intervals here are of the same measurement interval type, the periods of the two measurement intervals can be different or the same. For example, if two measurement intervals are both NCSG measurement intervals, the periods of the two NCSG measurement intervals can be different or the same; for another example, if two measurement intervals are both pre-configured measurement intervals, the periods of the two pre-configured measurement intervals can be different or the same.

[0069] At least two of the measurement intervals here can be of different measurement interval types. For example, at least two measurement intervals include: at least one is an NCSG measurement interval, and at least one is a pre-configured measurement interval. For another example, at least two measurement intervals include: at least one is an NCSG measurement interval, and at least one is an independent measurement interval. For yet another example, at least two measurement intervals include: at least one pre-configured measurement interval, and at least one is an independent measurement interval. For yet another example, at least two measurement intervals include: at least one NCSG measurement interval, at least one pre-configured measurement interval, and one independent measurement interval.

[0070] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing measurement intervals. The method is executed by a base station and may include: the base station receives capability indication information reported by a UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the configuration of supporting at least two measurement intervals in multiple frequency ranges.

[0071] Exemplarily, the base station receives capability indication information reported by the UE, where the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the configuration of supporting at least one measurement interval in each frequency range of multiple frequency ranges. For example, the UE supports measurement in FR1 and / or FR2; the capability indication information is used to indicate the configuration of the UE supporting one measurement interval in FR1 and the configuration of supporting one measurement interval in FR2. For another example, the UE supports measurement in FR1 and / or FR2; the capability indication information is used to indicate the configuration of the UE supporting two measurement intervals in FR1 and the configuration of supporting three measurement intervals in FR2.

[0072] Exemplarily, when the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the configuration of supporting one measurement interval in each frequency range of multiple frequency ranges, the types of measurement intervals supported in each frequency range can be the same or different. For example, the capability indication information indicates that the one measurement interval supported by the UE in FR1 is the same as the one measurement interval supported by FR2; for example, the one measurement interval supported in FR1 and FR2 respectively is an NCSG measurement interval or a pre-configured measurement interval or an independent measurement interval.

[0073] Exemplarily, the base station receives the capability indication information reported by the UE. Among them, the capability indication information is at least used to indicate the configuration of supporting at least two measurement intervals under at least one frequency range among multiple frequency ranges. For example, the UE supports measurement under FR1 and / or FR2; the capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of two measurement intervals under FR1 and the configuration of one measurement interval under FR2. Another example is that the UE supports measurement under FR1 and / or FR2; the capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of two measurement intervals under FR1 and the configuration of two measurement intervals under FR2.

[0074] Exemplarily, when the capability indication information is at least used to indicate that at least two measurement intervals are supported under at least one frequency range among multiple frequency ranges, the types of measurement intervals supported under each frequency range may be the same or different, and / or the measurement intervals supported under the same frequency range may be the same or different. For example, the capability indication information indicates that the UE supports two measurement intervals under FR1 and three measurement intervals under FR2; then at least one of the two measurement intervals supported under FR1 is of the same type as at least one of the three measurement intervals supported under FR2, or the two measurement intervals supported under FR1 are of different types from the three measurement intervals supported under FR2. Moreover, the types of the two measurement intervals supported by FR1 may be the same or different; and / or the types of the three measurement intervals supported by FR1 may all be different, or at least two of them are of the same type.

[0075] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the number of measurement interval configurations indicates that the number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE is multiple, the multiple measurement intervals may correspond to multiple types of measurement intervals or one type of measurement interval. For example, when it is indicated that the number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE is N, the N measurement intervals correspond to M types of measurement intervals; where N is greater than or equal to M, and both N and M are integers greater than 0.

[0076] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station can receive the capability indication information indicating the number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE under one or more frequency ranges, so that the base station knows the corresponding number of measurement interval configurations that the UE can configure under one or more frequency ranges, and then can configure the appropriate number of measurement intervals for the UE and is conducive to improving the flexibility of configuring the number of measurement intervals for the UE.

[0077] Moreover, when the capability indication information is used to indicate the configuration of supporting two or more measurement intervals in a frequency range, for the measurement of different reference signals, it may not be necessary to share a measurement interval for measurement; multiple corresponding measurement intervals can be configured for different reference signals, so that measurements can be performed when each reference signal needs to be measured, thereby greatly reducing the measurement delay.

[0078] In some embodiments, the capability indication information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0079] The NCSG measurement interval capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of the NCSG measurement interval;

[0080] The pre-configured measurement interval capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of the pre-configured measurement interval;

[0081] The independent measurement interval capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of the independent measurement interval.

[0082] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing a measurement interval. The method is executed by a base station and may include: receiving the NCSG measurement interval capability indication information reported by the UE, where the NCSG measurement interval capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of the NCSG measurement interval.

[0083] In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station can receive the NCSG measurement interval capability indication information indicating that the UE supports the NCSG measurement interval configuration, so that the base station knows that the UE supports the NSCG measurement interval; thus, it is beneficial for the base station to configure the corresponding NSCG measurement interval for the UE.

[0084] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing a measurement interval. The method is executed by a base station and may include: receiving the pre-configured measurement interval capability indication information reported by the UE, where the pre-configured measurement interval capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of the pre-configured measurement interval.

[0085] In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station can receive the pre-configured measurement interval capability indication information indicating that the UE supports the configured measurement interval, so that the base station knows that the UE supports the pre-configured measurement interval; thus, it is beneficial for the base station to configure the measurement interval for the UE according to different BWPs during mobility measurement; for example, configure the supported measurement interval for the UE working in BWP1 and configure the unsupported measurement interval for the UE working in BWP2. In this way, it is beneficial for the base station to dynamically configure the measurement interval for the UE.

[0086] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include: receiving independent measurement interval capability indication information reported by a UE, where the independent measurement interval capability indication information is used to indicate that the UE supports the configuration of independent measurement intervals.

[0087] In some embodiments, the independent measurement interval capability indication information includes at least one of the following, including but not limited to:

[0088] Used to indicate the number of configurations of independent measurement intervals supported by the UE in a frequency range;

[0089] Used to indicate the number of configurations of independent measurement intervals supported by each frequency range of the UE in multiple frequency ranges.

[0090] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include: receiving independent measurement interval capability indication information reported by a UE, where the independent measurement interval capability indication information is used to indicate the number of configurations of independent measurement intervals supported by the UE in a frequency range and / or the number of configurations of independent measurement intervals supported by each frequency range of the UE in multiple frequency ranges.

[0091] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station can receive NCSG measurement interval indication information indicating that the UE supports the configuration of NCSG measurement intervals, so that the base station knows the number of configurations of independent measurement intervals supported by the UE in a frequency range or the number of configurations of independent measurement intervals supported by each frequency range in multiple frequency ranges; thus, it is convenient for the base station to configure the corresponding number of measurement intervals for the UE in a frequency range or the corresponding number of configurations of measurement intervals for each frequency range in multiple frequency ranges; realizing flexible configuration of the number of configured measurement intervals of the UE in different scenarios.

[0092] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

In this way, it is beneficial for the base station to configure an appropriate measurement interval type or number for the UE, so as to improve the flexibility of measurement interval configuration and the effectiveness of the UE's measurement based on this measurement interval.

[0106] Moreover, since the IE MeasAndMobParameters signaling or the IE MeasAndMobParametersMRDC signaling can be used to carry this capability indication information, the utilization rate of the IE MeasAndMobParameters signaling or the IE MeasAndMobParametersMRDC signaling can be improved.

[0107] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0108] As Figure 4 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and includes:

[0109] Step S41: Determine the measurement interval configuration based on the UE-supported measurement interval configuration determined by the capability indication information.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the capability indication information may be the capability indication information described in step S21.

[0111] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station can determine the UE-supported measurement interval configuration based on the capability indication information, and then determine the corresponding measurement interval configuration based on the UE-supported measurement interval configuration.

[0113] Exemplarily, if the capability indication information received by the base station indicates that the UE supports two measurement intervals in a frequency range, the base station determines the measurement interval configuration in which the UE supports two measurement intervals in a frequency range.

[0114] Exemplarily, if the capability indication information received by the base station indicates that the UE supports two measurement intervals in the first frequency range and one measurement interval in the second frequency range, the base station determines the measurement interval configuration in which the UE supports two measurement intervals in the first frequency range and one measurement interval in the second frequency range.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station can determine the measurement interval configuration of the number of UE-supported measurement intervals through the capability indication information; so that the UE can perform measurements based on the appropriate number of configurations.

[0116] If the number of measurement interval configurations supported by the UE determined by the base station based on the capability indication information is multiple, the base station may configure for the UE a measurement interval configuration that supports multiple measurement intervals. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can avoid sharing a single measurement interval for different reference signal measurements, and can configure multiple corresponding measurement intervals for the measurements of different reference signals, so that measurements can be performed whenever there is a reference signal to be measured, thereby shortening the measurement delay.

[0117] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for processing measurement intervals. The method is executed by a base station and may include: determining a measurement interval configuration of the type of measurement interval supported by the UE based on the type of measurement interval supported by the UE determined by the capability indication information.

[0118] As Figure 5 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for processing measurement intervals. The method is executed by a base station and includes:

[0119] Step S51: Determine a measurement interval configuration for the UE to support the NCSG measurement interval based on the configuration of the NCSG measurement interval supported by the UE determined by the capability indication information; or, determine a measurement interval configuration for the UE to support the pre-configured measurement interval based on the configuration of the pre-configured measurement interval supported by the UE determined by the capability indication information; or, determine a measurement interval configuration for the UE to support the independent measurement interval based on the configuration of the independent measurement interval supported by the UE determined by the capability indication information.

[0120] In some embodiments, the above step S41 includes one of the following:

[0121] Determine a measurement interval configuration for the UE to support the NCSG measurement interval based on the configuration of the NCSG measurement interval supported by the UE determined by the capability indication information;

[0122] Determine a measurement interval configuration for the UE to support the pre-configured measurement interval based on the configuration of the pre-configured measurement interval supported by the UE determined by the capability indication information;

[0123] Determine a measurement interval configuration for the UE to support the independent measurement interval based on the configuration of the independent measurement interval supported by the UE determined by the capability indication information.

[0124] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station can determine, through the capability indication information, that the type of measurement interval supported by the UE can be at least one of the NCSG measurement interval, the pre-configured measurement interval, and the independent measurement interval, so that the base station determines a measurement interval configuration for at least one of the NCSG measurement interval, the pre-configured measurement interval, and the independent measurement interval supported by the UE.

[0125] If the base station determines, based on the capability indication information, that the measurement interval type supported by the UE is the NCSG measurement interval, the base station may configure a measurement interval configuration that supports the NCSG measurement interval for the UE. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can perform measurements using a short measurement interval, thereby shortening the interruption time (i.e., reducing the interruption of the serving cell caused by mobility measurements), and thus improving the throughput of the serving cell.

[0126] If the base station determines, based on the capability indication information, that the interval type supported by the UE is the pre-configured measurement interval, the base station may configure a measurement interval configuration that supports the pre-configured measurement interval for the UE. In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, different measurement intervals can be configured for the UE when it works in different BWPs; for example, for the UE working in BWP1, a measurement interval can be configured; for the UE working in BWP2, a measurement interval that is not supported can be configured. In this way, the configuration of the measurement interval of the UE can be dynamically managed; in this way, the throughput of the network and the UE can also be improved.

[0127] If the base station determines, based on the capability indication information, that the interval type supported by the UE is the independent measurement interval, the base station may configure a measurement interval configuration that supports the independent measurement interval for the UE. In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, independent measurement intervals can be configured for the UE in one frequency range or multiple frequency ranges; for example, for the UE working in one frequency range, multiple independent measurement intervals are supported; thus enabling the UE to perform measurements based on multiple measurement intervals, reducing the measurement delay, and improving the measurement efficiency.

[0128] Of course, in other embodiments, the base station may also determine, based on the capability indication information, that the UE does not support at least one of the measurement interval configurations of the NCSG measurement interval, the pre-configured measurement interval, and the independent measurement interval.

[0129] For example, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by the base station and may include at least one of the following: in response to the fact that the capability indication information does not include the NCSG measurement interval capability indication information, determining that the UE does not support the measurement interval configuration of the NCSG measurement interval; in response to the fact that the capability indication information does not include the pre-configured measurement interval capability indication information, determining that the UE does not support the measurement interval configuration of the pre-configured measurement interval; in response to the fact that the capability indication information does not include the independent measurement interval capability indication information, determining that the UE does not support the measurement interval configuration of the independent measurement interval.

[0130] For another example, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement interval processing method, which is executed by a base station and may include at least one of the following: determining a measurement interval configuration for which the UE does not support NCSG measurement intervals based on the capability indication information; determining a measurement interval configuration for which the UE does not support pre-configured measurement intervals based on the capability indication information; determining a measurement interval configuration for which the UE does not support independent measurement intervals based on the capability indication information.

[0131] In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is also possible to determine the measurement interval type that the UE does not support based on the capability indication information, and determine the measurement interval configuration of the measurement interval type that the UE does not support, so as to achieve accurate configuration of the UE measurement interval type, etc.; and can correspondingly reduce the measurement delay or the throughput of the UE, etc.

[0132] A measurement interval processing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is executed by a base station, may include: sending a measurement interval configuration to the UE.

[0140] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station may also send the measurement interval configuration to the UE, so that the UE performs measurements based on the measurement interval configuration, which is beneficial to realizing dynamic and flexible management of the UE measurement configuration; and can enable the UE to measure more efficiently.
