[0035] Reference is made to Figure 1 which shows a structure diagram of a wireless communication system provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system can include a plurality of user equipment 110 and a plurality of base stations 120.

[0036] The user equipment 110 can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. The user equipment 110 can communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN), and the user equipment 110 can be an Internet of Things user equipment, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone), and a computer with an Internet of Things user equipment, for example, which can be a fixed, portable, pocket, handheld, built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment. Alternatively, the user equipment 110 can also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, the user equipment 110 can also be a vehicle-mounted device, which can be a vehicle-mounted computer with wireless communication function or a wireless user equipment externally connected to the vehicle-mounted computer. Alternatively, the user equipment 110 can also be a roadside device, which can be a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside devices with wireless communication function, etc.

[0037] The base station 120 can be a network side device in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system can be a 4th generation mobile communication (4G) system, also known as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or the wireless communication system can be a 5G system, also known as a New Radio (NR) system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system can be a further next generation system of the 5G system. In the 5G system, the access network can be referred to as a New Generation-Radio Access Network (NG-RAN).

[0038] The base station 120 can be an evolved NodeB (eNB) used in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 120 can be a base station (gNB) using a centralized and distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the base station 120 uses the centralized and distributed architecture, the base station 120 generally includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The CU is configured with a protocol stack of a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The DUs are configured with a protocol stack of a Physical (PHY) layer. The specific implementation of the base station 120 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0039] The base station 120 and the user equipment 110 can establish a wireless connection through a wireless air interface. In different embodiments, the wireless air interface is based on a 4th generation mobile communication (4G) standard, or the wireless air interface is based on a 5th generation mobile communication (5G) standard, such as a New Radio (NR) interface, or the wireless air interface can be based on a further next generation mobile communication standard of the 5G.

[0040] In some embodiments, the user equipment 110 can also establish an E2E (End to End) connection. For example, in a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication, such as a vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, a vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication, and a vehicle to pedestrian (V2P) communication.

[0041] Herein, the user equipment described above can be considered as a terminal device of the following embodiments.

[0042] In some embodiments, the wireless communication system described above can further comprise a network management device 130.

[0043] The network management device 130 can be a core network device in the wireless communication system, for example, the network management device 130 can be a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Alternatively, the network management device can also be other core network devices, such as a Serving GateWay (SGW), a Public Data Network GateWay (PGW), a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), etc. The implementation form of the network management device 130 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0044] In order to better understand the technical solutions described in any embodiment of the present disclosure, first, the measurement gap scheduling when the UE performs measurement is described as follows:

[0045] In one embodiment, the measurement gap can be configured by Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration or RRC reconfiguration. The BWP switching mode can be configured by one of the following modes: configured by RRC configuration, configured by RRC reconfiguration, configured by Downlink Control Information (DCI), and configured by timer. In this way, if the active Bandwidth Part (BWP) of the UE is switched, if the BWP switching is switched by the DCI or the timer, the network always assumes that the measurement gap is used for measurement, so that the UE can perform measurement on the reference signal based on the measurement gap when switching. However, if the network always assumes that the measurement gap is used for measurement, it will cause a loss of throughput for the network and the terminal.

[0046] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, in one embodiment, the active BWP of the UE at T0 is BWP1, the UE does not need a measurement interval when measuring target cell 1, and needs a measurement interval when measuring target cell 2 and target cell 3; when the active BWP of the UE switches to BWP2, the UE does not need a measurement interval when measuring target cell 3, and needs a measurement interval when measuring target cell 1 and target cell. Thus, in fact, when the active BWP of the UE switches, it switches to a different BWP, and whether the measurement object corresponding to each BWP needs a measurement interval is not necessarily the same; if the network always configures a measurement interval on each BWP, the measurement efficiency will be greatly reduced and the throughput performance of the UE will be reduced.

[0047] Those skilled in the art can understand that the technical solutions of each embodiment can be implemented alone or together with any other technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0048] As Figure 3 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval pre-configuration processing method, which is executed by a UE and includes:

[0049] Step S31: receiving measurement interval indication information; wherein the measurement interval indication information is used to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement interval on the configured BWP.

[0050] In one embodiment, the UE can be various mobile terminals or fixed terminals. For example, the UE can 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.

[0051] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval pre-configuration processing method, which is executed by a UE and includes: receiving measurement interval indication information sent by a base station, used to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement interval on the configured BWP.

[0052] In one embodiment, the base station can 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.

[0053] In one embodiment, the configured BWP of the UE can be the BWP that the UE can switch to when switching. For example, as Figure 2 shown, the configured BWP can be BWP2.

[0054] In one embodiment, the configured BWP of the UE can be one or more. For example, the configured BWP can be 4, which are BWP1, BWP2, BWP3, and BWP4. The configured BWP here can include the active BWP before the UE switches; or can not include the active BWP before the UE switches.

[0055] In an embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is used to at least indicate whether the UE is configured with measurement gaps on the configured BWP. In this way, the UE can know in advance whether the measurement gap is configured on the configured BWP according to the measurement gap indication information received by the UE.

[0056] In an embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is used to at least indicate whether the measurement gap of the UE is activated on the configured BWP. In this way, the UE can know which measurement gap of the configured BWP needs to be activated and / or which measurement gap of the configured BWP does not need to be activated according to the measurement gap indication information received by the UE; so that the measurement gap of the BWP can be activated in advance before the BWP switching, thereby improving the measurement efficiency.

[0057] In an embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is used to indicate whether the UE is configured with measurement gaps on the configured BWP and whether the measurement gap of the UE is activated on the configured BWP. In this way, the UE can configure the measurement gap on the configured BWP and activate the measurement gap at the same time according to the measurement gap indication information received by the UE, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0058] In an embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement gap is needed on all the configured BWPs of the UE. For example, the configured BWPs of the UE include: BWP1, BWP2, BWP3 and BWP4; and the measurement gap indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement gap is needed on BWP1, BWP2, BWP3 and BWP4. In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, whether the measurement gap is needed on all the configured BWPs of the UE can be determined according to the measurement gap indication information configured by the base station.

[0059] Of course, in other embodiments, the measurement gap indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement gap is needed on at least part of the configured BWPs of the UE. For example, the configured BWPs of the UE include: BWP1, BWP2, BWP3 and BWP4; and the measurement gap indication information is used to at least indicate whether the measurement gap is needed on BWP1, or the measurement gap indication information is used to at least indicate whether the measurement gap is needed on BWP1, BWP2 and BWP3. In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, whether the measurement gap is needed on at least part of the configured BWPs of the UE can be determined according to the measurement gap indication information configured by the base station.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, the measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate in advance whether the measurement gap is needed on the configured BWP of the UE.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can receive measurement interval indication information, the measurement interval indication information being used to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement interval on the configured BWP. In this way, the UE can know in advance whether the UE needs a measurement interval on the configured BWP, and does not need to temporarily find and determine whether the configured BWP needs a measurement interval, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0062] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure can make the UE know whether the UE needs a measurement interval on the configured BWP. Therefore, when the UE switches to the configured BWP, the UE can use or not use a measurement interval on the BWP according to the activated measurement interval indication information or the deactivated measurement interval indication information, thereby improving the measurement efficiency when the UE performs measurement and the throughput of the UE.

[0063] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval pre-configuration processing method, which is performed by a UE and can include: receiving measurement interval indication information; wherein the measurement interval indication information is used to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement interval on all measurement objects on the configured BWP.

[0064] In one embodiment, there is one or more measurement objects on one BWP. The measurement object here can be a measurement carrier.

[0065] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can determine whether all measurement objects in each BWP need a measurement interval by receiving the measurement interval indication information sent by the base station.

[0066] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement interval pre-configuration processing method, which is performed by a UE and can include: receiving measurement interval indication information; wherein the measurement interval indication information is used to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement interval on part of the measurement objects on the configured BWP.

[0067] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can determine whether part of the measurement objects in each BWP need a measurement interval by receiving the measurement interval indication information sent by the base station.

[0068] In some embodiments, the measurement interval indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0069] The activated measurement interval indication information is used to indicate at least one measurement object on the configured BWP that needs a measurement interval.

[0070] The deactivated measurement interval indication information is used to indicate at least one measurement object on the configured BWP that does not need a measurement interval.

[0071] In other embodiments, the measurement interval indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0072] activation measurement gap indication information for activating the measurement gap of the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE;

[0073] deactivation measurement gap indication information for deactivating the measurement gap of the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE.

[0074] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement gap pre-configuration processing method, which is executed by a UE and can include: receiving activation measurement gap indication information; wherein the activation measurement gap indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to configure at least one measurement object with a measurement gap on a configured BWP.

[0075] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement gap pre-configuration processing method, which is executed by a UE and can include: receiving activation measurement gap indication information; wherein the activation measurement gap indication information is used to activate the measurement gap of the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement gap of the measurement on the BWP configured by the UE is activated, and the measurement gap needs to be configured for the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE first; therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can configure the measurement gap for the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE first, and activate the measurement gap of the measurement object; thereby, the measurement gap of the measurement object can be activated in advance, and the measurement efficiency of the UE can be improved.

[0077] The receiving of the activation measurement gap indication information can be receiving the activation measurement gap indication information sent by the base station.

[0078] The activation measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate that the UE needs to measure at least one measurement object among all or part of the measurement objects on the configured BWP.

[0079] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement gap pre-configuration processing method, which is executed by a UE and can include: receiving deactivation measurement gap indication information; wherein the deactivation measurement gap indication information is used to indicate that the UE does not need to configure at least one measurement object with a measurement gap on a configured BWP.

[0080] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement gap pre-configuration processing method, which is executed by a UE and can include: receiving deactivation measurement gap indication information; the deactivation measurement gap indication information is used to deactivate the measurement gap of the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement gap for deactivating the measurement on the BWP configured by the UE needs to be configured in the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE first; thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can configure the measurement gap in the measurement object on the BWP configured by the UE first; and deactivate the measurement gap of the measurement object; thereby the measurement gap of the measurement object can be deactivated in advance, and the measurement efficiency of the UE can be improved.

[0082] The receiving of the deactivation measurement gap indication information can be receiving the deactivation measurement gap indication information sent by the base station.

[0083] The deactivation measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate that the UE does not need to measure at least one measurement object without measurement gap in all measurement objects or part of the measurement objects of the configured BWP.

[0084] For example, the BWP can be 4, which are BWP1, BWP2, BWP3 and BWP4. There are q measurement objects in the 4 target objects; wherein the i-th measurement object can be represented by MO_i, and the j-th measurement object can be represented by MO_j; wherein i, j are less than q.

[0085] For example, the activation measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate the measurement object with measurement gap in the measurement object of the 4 BWPs; for example, the deactivation measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate the measurement object without measurement gap in the measurement object of the 4 BWPs. For example, the activation measurement gap indication information is used to indicate that the i-th measurement object is configured with measurement gap; the deactivation measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate that the j-th measurement object is not configured with measurement gap.

[0086] For example, the activation measurement gap indication information is used to activate the measurement gap of the measurement object in the 4 BWPs; the deactivation measurement indication information is used to deactivate the measurement gap of the measurement object in the 4 BWPs. For example, activation={MO_i} is used to activate the measurement gap of the i-th measurement object; thus, the measurement gap is needed when the i-th measurement object is measured. For example, deactivation={MO_j} is used to activate the measurement gap of the j-th measurement object; thus, the measurement gap is not needed when the j-th measurement object is measured. Here, i, j and q are integers greater than 0.

[0087] Of course, in the above examples, each BWP can not necessarily have q measurement objects; the measurement objects in each BWP can be the same or different. For example, there can be g measurement objects for BWP1, q measurement objects for BWP2, z measurement objects for BWP3, q measurement objects for BWP4, and so on. Here, g, q, and z are integers greater than or equal to i, and g, q, and z are integers greater than or equal to j.

[0088] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the activation measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate the measurement gap of the measurement object configured with the measurement gap and / or the measurement gap of the activated measurement object; and / or the deactivation measurement gap indication information can be used to indicate the measurement gap of the measurement object not configured with the measurement gap and / or the measurement gap of the deactivated measurement object.

[0089] In one embodiment, one measurement object includes one measurement carrier. For example, the activation measurement gap indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to measure at least one measurement carrier in the configured BWP with the measurement gap. For another example, the deactivation measurement gap indication information is used to indicate that the UE does not need to measure at least one measurement carrier in the configured BWP with the measurement gap.

[0090] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement gap pre-configuration processing method, which is performed by a UE and can include: determining whether the UE needs a measurement gap on a configured BWP based on measurement gap indication information.

[0091] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement gap pre-configuration processing method, which is performed by a UE and can include: determining at least one measurement object that the UE needs a measurement gap on a configured BWP based on activation measurement gap indication information.

[0092] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement gap pre-configuration processing method, which is performed by a UE and can include: determining at least one measurement object that the UE does not need a measurement gap on a configured BWP based on deactivation measurement gap indication information.

[0093] In one embodiment, the measurement performed by the UE includes, but is not limited to, at least one of: RRM side measurement and mobility measurement. Here, the mobility side measurement includes SSB measurement and / or CSI-RS measurement.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can determine whether the measurement gap is needed on the configured BWP based on the measurement gap indication information; more specifically, the measurement object on the configured BWP of the UE for which the measurement gap is needed and / or the measurement gap of the activated measurement object can be determined based on the activated measurement gap indication information, and / or the measurement object on the configured BWP of the UE for which the measurement gap is not needed and / or the measurement gap of the deactivated measurement object can be determined based on the deactivated measurement gap indication information.

[0095] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can know in advance whether all the measurement objects on the configured BWP of the UE need the measurement gap (i.e. including the measurement objects on the configured BWP of the UE for which the measurement gap is needed or not needed, and the measurement objects on the configured BWP of the UE for which the measurement gap is activated or deactivated). Therefore, when the UE switches to the configured BWP, the UE can use or not use the measurement gap for the measurement objects on the BWP according to the activated measurement gap indication information or the deactivated measurement gap indication information, i.e. the UE can measure based on the measurement gap for the measurement objects for which the measurement gap is activated and measure without the measurement gap for the measurement objects for which the measurement gap is deactivated; therefore, the measurement efficiency of the UE and the throughput of the UE can be improved.

[0096] 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 some methods or related technologies in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
