[0002] In the related art, a mechanism of configuring multiple measurement gap patterns for one terminal (UE) can be introduced. In the mechanism, a network side device configures multiple measurement gap patterns for one UE, and each measurement gap pattern has its own attribute parameters in the configured multiple measurement gap patterns, for example, a measurement gap length (MGL), a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP), and the like. The attribute parameters of each measurement gap pattern can be different or the same.

[0032] The determination scheme of the measurement gap repetition period provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for determining a measurement gap repetition period in the embodiments of the present application is shown. The method 200 can be performed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be performed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. As shown in the method 200, the method can include the following steps. Figure 2

[0034] ​S210, the terminal acquires target configuration information configured by the network side device, wherein the target configuration information comprises attribute parameters of a plurality of target measurement gap patterns, and the attribute parameters comprise: MGRP.

[0035] In the NR Rel-15 / 16 version, similar to LTE, only one measurement gap pattern can be configured for one terminal, for example, only one measurement gap pattern can be configured for each (per) UE; only one measurement gap pattern can be configured for each FR of a UE per FR. For NR, the complexity of the measurement object properties is much higher than that of LTE, such as positioning information, CSI-RS, etc. The increase in complexity in the time domain is manifested in the increase in the number of aperiodic measurement objects, or multiple measurement occasions (MOs) have different periods and offsets, and the increase in complexity in the frequency domain is manifested in a substantial increase in the possible positions of the center frequency points of the measurement objects. At present, in order to ensure that the measurement based on the measurement gap is more efficient, it is hoped that multiple MOs (such as multiple SSBs) are aligned in the time domain as much as possible, which will reduce the flexibility of network configuration. In order to make the network configuration more flexible, and also to reduce the overhead of the measurement gap, R17 plans to introduce a mechanism for configuring multiple measurement gap patterns for one UE, that is, the network side device can configure multiple target measurement gap patterns for the terminal, and configure attribute parameters of each target measurement gap pattern in the configuration information of each target measurement gap pattern, for example, MGRP, etc.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, optionally, the plurality of target measurement gap patterns comprises one of the following:

[0037] (1) A plurality of measurement gap patterns configured on the same frequency range (FR); that is, a plurality of measurement gap patterns configured for a per FR UE.

[0038] (2) A plurality of measurement gap patterns configured for the same terminal; that is, a plurality of measurement gap patterns configured for a per UE.

[0039] (3) A set of a plurality of measurement gap patterns configured on the same frequency range (FR) and a plurality of measurement gap patterns configured for the same terminal. That is, a set of a plurality of measurement gap patterns configured for a per UE and a plurality of measurement gap patterns configured for a per FR UE. For example, measurement gap patterns GP1 and GP2 are configured for a certain UE, and measurement gap patterns GP3 and GP4 are configured for the FR in which the UE is located, and the plurality of target measurement gap patterns are GP1, GP2, GP3 and GP4.

[0040] S212, the terminal determines a target MGRP in the plurality of target measurement gap patterns according to the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, wherein the target MGRP is used to determine a target performance indicator in a serving cell measurement procedure.

[0041] In a single measurement gap pattern condition, for a serving cell measurement procedure, such as RLM, link recovery procedure, L1-RSRP measurement procedure, and L1-SINR measurement procedure, when the influence of measurement gap or other factors needs to be considered, the scaling factor P in the performance indicator is generally related to the MGRP of the measurement gap pattern, and the performance indicator is determined according to the scaling factor. For the case of multiple measurement gap patterns, since each measurement gap pattern is configured with an MGRP, and the MGRPs of different measurement gap patterns may also be different, for example, in Figure 3a , 2 target measurement gap patterns GP1 and GP2 are configured, wherein the MGRP1 of GP1 is different from the MGRP2 of GP2. From the perspective of a measurement object that uses gap patterns for measurement, the measurement object may only be related to one or several of all configured gap patterns, and other gap patterns do not affect the measurement of the object. From the perspective of a serving cell measurement procedure, the measurement gaps of all gap patterns (except for measurement gaps cancelled according to priority rules or dynamic indication or specific sharing rules) will affect the measurement of the serving cell, at this time, the multiple configured gap patterns can be regarded as a composite gap pattern (or also referred to as a virtual gap pattern). Specifically, the components in the composite gap pattern: for FR1, only consider all gap patterns configured on FR1, or consider all gap patterns configured on FR1 and all per UE gap patterns; for FR2, only consider all gap patterns configured on FR2, or consider all gap patterns configured on FR2 and all per UE gap patterns. The scaling factor of the performance indicator can be determined by the MGRP of the composite gap pattern. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the target MGRP is determined according to the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, that is, the MGRP for calculating the scaling factor P, that is, the MGRP of the composite gap pattern.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the terminal determines multiple target MGRPs for each target measurement gap pattern based on the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, including: determining that the target MGRP is a candidate MGRP or a quotient of a candidate MGRP and n, where n is the number of multiple target measurement gap patterns. The candidate MGRP can be one of the following:

[0043] (1) The average value of the MGRP of multiple target measurement gap patterns; for example, assuming there are n gap patterns P1…Pn, and the corresponding MGRPs are M1…Mn, then the candidate MGRP = (M1+M2…+Mn) / n.

[0044] (2) The maximum value among the multiple target measurement gap patterns of MGRP; that is, candidate MGRP = max(M1…Mn).

[0045] (3) The minimum value among the multiple target measurement gap patterns; that is, candidate MGRP = min(M1…M n )

[0046] (4) Any MGRP among the multiple target measurement gap modes; that is, candidate MGRP = M i , of which M i It can be any one of M1 to Mn.

[0047] (5) A predetermined MGRP among the multiple target measurement gap modes. That is, candidate MGRP = M j , of which M j It can be the MGRP specified by the network-side devices from M1 to Mn, or a pre-agreed MGRP.

[0048] For example, for Figure 3a The multiple target measurement gap patterns shown are such that, since the measurement gaps of each target measurement gap pattern are completely non-overlapped, and since there is no collision between the measurement gaps of multiple gap patterns, (M-1) of the M measurement gaps that do not collide will be canceled. Therefore, the final composite gap pattern is similar to the result of multiple gap patterns interpolating each other. Assuming there are n gap patterns P1…Pn, and their corresponding MGRPs are M1…Mn respectively; then the MGRP of the composite gap pattern (i.e., the target MGRP mentioned above, which can be denoted as com_MGRP) can have the following values:

[0049] (1) The MGRP of the composite gap pattern is the average of all configured gap pattern MRGPs, i.e., com_MGRP = (M1+M2…+Mn) / n;

[0050] (2) The MGRP of the composite gap pattern is the minimum of all configured gap pattern MRGPs, i.e., com_MGRP = min(M1…Mn);

[0051] (3) The MGRP of the composite gap pattern is the maximum of all configured gap pattern MRGPs, i.e., com_MGRP = max(M1…Mn);

[0052] (4) The MGRP of the composite gap pattern is any one of all configured gap pattern MRGPs, i.e., com_MGRP = M1, M2, …, or Mn; i , or the system specified M i , i.e., com_MGRP = M i ;

[0053] (5) The MGRP of the composite gap pattern is any one of all configured gap pattern MRGPs, i.e., com_MGRP = M1, M2, …, or Mn; i , or the system specified M i ;

[0054] (6) The MGRP of the composite gap pattern is any one of all configured gap pattern MRGPs, i.e., com_MGRP = M1, M2, …, or Mn; i , or the system specified M i , or the maximum of all configured gap pattern MRGPs (M max ), or the minimum of all configured gap pattern MRGPs (M min ), or the number of configured gap patterns, i.e., com_MGRP = M i / n; or com_MGRP = M max / n; or com_MGRP = M minOf course, the average value of all configured gap pattern MRGPs can also be divided by the number of configured gap patterns, i.e., com_MGRP=(M1+M2…+Mn) / (n*n).

[0055] In one possible implementation, the above-mentioned candidate MGRP is specified by a network-side device. That is, the network-side device can determine the candidate MGRP to be one of the above-mentioned average value, maximum value, minimum value, any value, or specified value, and then indicate the terminal, which determines the candidate MGRP according to the indication of the network-side device.

[0056] In one possible implementation, determining the target MGRP as the candidate MGRP or the quotient of the candidate MGRP and n includes:

[0057] In the case where the MGRP of the first target measurement gap pattern is greater than or equal to 2 times the MGRP of the second target measurement gap pattern, determining the target MGRP as the quotient of the candidate MGRP and n, wherein the first target measurement gap pattern is the target measurement gap pattern with the largest MGRP among the plurality of target measurement gap patterns, and the second target measurement gap pattern is the target measurement gap pattern with the smallest MGRP among the plurality of target measurement gap patterns.

[0058] For example, when max(M1…Mn)≤2*min(M1…Mn), at this time, two consecutive measurement gaps of any one gap pattern can be inserted into the measurement gaps of multiple other gap patterns, Figure 3a The upper part of FIG. 8 shows the corresponding examples of 2 gap patterns; at this time, the MGRP of the composite gap pattern can be approximated as: M i / n, wherein M i is the MGRP of a gap pattern among the n gap patterns; this gap pattern can be specified by the system (i.e., the network-side device) and delivered to the terminal, or the MGRP of which gap pattern to use can be directly specified, such as directly specifying the maximum or minimum MGRP of all gap patterns. In addition, since the MGRP of each gap pattern is known, the network-side device can also directly specify the MGRP of the relevant composite gap pattern.

[0059] For example, the network-side device can add the following configuration information in the signaling for configuring multiple gap patterns:

[0060] MeasMultiGapConfig ::= SEQUENCE {

[0061] …,

[0062] com_MGRP ENUMERATED { ms20, ms40, ms80, ms160}

[0063] }

[0064] In another possible implementation, the terminal determines the target MGRP in the plurality of target measurement gap patterns according to the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, including: in a case where the MGRP of a third target measurement gap pattern is greater than m times the MGRP of a fourth target measurement gap pattern, determining the target MGRP as the MGRP of the fourth target measurement gap pattern, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and the third target measurement gap pattern and the fourth target measurement gap pattern are one of the plurality of target measurement gap patterns.

[0065] In the possible implementation, determining the target MGRP as the MGRP of the fourth target measurement gap pattern includes: in a case where there is no measurement gap of another target measurement gap pattern between any k or more consecutive measurement gaps of the fourth target measurement gap pattern, determining the target MGRP as the MGRP of the fourth target measurement gap pattern, where k is an integer greater than or equal to m, and the another target measurement gap pattern is a target measurement gap pattern other than the fourth target measurement gap pattern in the plurality of target measurement gap patterns.

[0066] For example, for M j ∈ {M1…Mn}, if there exists M i >2*M j In this case, the distance between any two consecutive measurement gaps is different, and in this case, the MGRP of the composite gap pattern can be approximated in the following manner:

[0067] For a gap pattern M i , if there is no measurement gap of any other gap pattern between any three or more consecutive measurement gaps of the gap pattern, in this case, the MGRP of the composite gap pattern is the MGRP of the gap pattern.

[0068] In this case, the terminal can obtain the MGRP of the corresponding composite gap pattern according to all the gap patterns configured by the network, without the indication of the network side device. Of course, the above-mentioned manner of indicating the corresponding MGRP by the network can also be used.

[0069] In a possible implementation of the embodiment of the application, the terminal determines the target MGRP in the plurality of target measurement gap patterns according to the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, including: in the case where there is overlap between the measurement gaps of different target measurement gap patterns, determining the target MGRP as the minimum value in the MGRP of the plurality of target measurement gap patterns.

[0070] In the above possible implementation, the overlap between the measurement gaps of different target measurement gap patterns includes complete overlap or partial overlap between the measurement gaps of different target measurement gap patterns. For example, it can include Figure 3b the mode of complete overlap of partial measurement gaps, or it can also include Figure 3c the mode of partial overlap of partial measurement gaps.

[0071] In a possible implementation, after S212, the method can further include:

[0072] The terminal determines a target scaling factor based on the target MGRP;

[0073] Based on the target scaling factor, the target performance indicator in the serving cell measurement process is determined.

[0074] Through the above possible implementation, the terminal can determine the target scaling factor based on the target MGRP, and then determine the target performance indicator in the serving cell measurement process based on the target scaling factor, so as to realize the determination of the performance indicator of the measurement process of the serving cell in the configuration of multiple measurement gap patterns.

[0075] Figure 4 Another flowchart of the determination method of the measurement gap repetition period in the embodiment of the application is shown, and the method 400 can be executed by the network side device. In other words, the method can be executed by the software or hardware installed on the network side device. As Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the method can include the following steps.

[0076] S412, the network side device configures target configuration information for the terminal, wherein the target configuration information includes attribute parameters of a plurality of target measurement gap patterns, and the attribute parameters include: MGRP.

[0077] The multiple target measurement gap patterns configured by the network side device are the same as the multiple target measurement gap patterns obtained by the terminal in the method 200. For details, refer to the description in the method 200, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] The multiple target measurement gap patterns can include one of the following: multiple measurement gap patterns configured on the same FR, multiple measurement gap patterns configured for the same terminal, a set of multiple measurement gap patterns configured on the same FR and multiple measurement gap patterns configured for the same terminal.

[0079] S412, the network side device determines a target MGRP in the multiple target measurement gap patterns according to the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, where the target MGRP is used to determine a target performance index in a serving cell measurement process.

[0080] In one possible implementation, similar to the method 200, the network side device determines a target MGRP of a composite measurement gap pattern in the multiple target measurement gap patterns according to the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, which can include:

[0081] The target MGRP is determined as a candidate MGRP or a quotient of the candidate MGRP and n, where n is the number of the multiple target measurement gap patterns;

[0082] The candidate MGRP is one of the following:

[0083] An average of the MGRP of the multiple target measurement gap patterns;

[0084] A maximum value in the MGRP of the multiple target measurement gap patterns;

[0085] A minimum value in the MGRP of the multiple target measurement gap patterns;

[0086] Any one of the MGRP of the multiple target measurement gap patterns;

[0087] A predetermined MGRP in the MGRP of the multiple target measurement gap patterns.

[0088] In the above possible implementation, after the network side device configures the configuration information of the multiple target measurement gap patterns for the terminal, the method further includes: the network side device indicates the candidate MGRP to the terminal. That is, after determining the candidate MGRP, the network side device indicates the value of the candidate MGRP to the terminal, so that the terminal can directly obtain the candidate MGRP consistent with the network side device.

[0089] In the possible implementation manner, after the network side device configures the terminal with the configuration information of the multiple target measurement gap patterns, the method further includes: the network side device indicating the predetermined MGRP to the terminal.

[0090] In a possible implementation manner, the determining the target MGRP as the candidate MGRP or the quotient of the candidate MGRP and n includes:

[0092] In a possible implementation manner, the network side device determines the target MGRP in the multiple target measurement gap patterns according to the MGRP of each target measurement gap pattern, and includes:

[0093] In a case where the MGRP of the third target measurement gap pattern is greater than m times the MGRP of the fourth target measurement gap pattern, the target MGRP is determined as the MGRP of the fourth target measurement gap pattern, wherein m is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and the third target measurement gap pattern and the fourth target measurement gap pattern are one of the multiple target measurement gap patterns.

[0094] In a possible implementation manner, the determining the target MGRP as the MGRP of the fourth target measurement gap pattern includes:

[0095] In a case where there is no measurement gap of other target measurement gap patterns between any k or more than k continuous measurement gaps of the fourth target measurement gap pattern, the target MGRP is determined as the MGRP of the fourth target measurement gap pattern, wherein k is an integer greater than or equal to m, and the other target measurement gap patterns are target measurement gap patterns other than the fourth target measurement gap pattern in the multiple target measurement gap patterns.
