[0001] This application is a divisional application of the PCT international patent application PCT / CN2020 / 093820 with an application date of June 1, 2020, which has entered the Chinese national phase with Chinese patent application No. 202080101196.7 and the invention name “UE measurement method, terminal equipment and network equipment”.

[0003] Currently, there are mainly two judgment systems for whether a measurement gap is required for UE measurement.

[0004] System 1: Filtering cells or bands based on the measurement interval configuration (need for gap), indicating whether a gap is needed for measurement.

[0005] System 2: Whether a gap is needed is determined by whether the configuration of the current neighboring cell measurement frequency point overlaps with the time-frequency position relationship of the UE activating the BWP; and, due to the compatibility issues between rel-15 and rel-16 in terms of co-frequency and inter-frequency support capabilities, if inter-frequency measurement does not require a gap, an additional 1-bit indication information (flag) is required to indicate this.

[0006] As for how the above two judgment systems are integrated in UE intra-frequency / inter-frequency / inter-network (Inter-RAT) measurement, there is currently no clear method to define the UE behavior, which may lead to configuration conflicts or UE behavior confusion.

Wearable devices may also be referred to as wearable smart devices, which are a general term for wearable devices that are intelligently designed and developed using wearable technology for daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not only hardware devices, but also powerful functions achieved through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include full-featured, large-sized, and fully or partially independent of smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as devices that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various types of smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0044] The network device can be a device used to communicate with a mobile device. The network device can be an access point (AP) in WLAN, a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in GSM or CDMA, a base station (NodeB, NB) in WCDMA, an evolved base station (Evolutional Node B, eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay station or access point, or a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a network device (gNB) in an NR network, or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network, etc.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, a network device provides services for a cell, and a terminal device communicates with the network device through transmission resources (e.g., frequency domain resources, or spectrum resources) used by the cell. The cell may be a cell corresponding to a network device (e.g., a base station). The cell may belong to a macro base station or a base station corresponding to a small cell. The small cells here may include: a metro cell, a micro cell, a picocell, a femtocell, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage and low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.

Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 may include multiple network devices 110, and each network device 110 may include other number of terminal devices 120 within its coverage area, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0048] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this article. The term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application involve two consideration systems for determining whether a gap is required, which are as follows:

[0050] System 1:

[0051] Determine whether a gap is needed based on the measurement interval configuration (need for gap). Applicable to the determination of whether a gap is needed at the band level for intra-frequency measurement and inter-frequency measurement. If the UE reports the need for gap information (including at least one of the following three: intraFreqNeedForGaps, interFreqNeedForGaps, interRATNeedForGaps), the filtering conditions (such as BandList) that require a gap are configured.

[0052] System 2:

[0053] For same-frequency and different-frequency measurements, the following conditions need to be met to avoid gaps:

[0054] Condition 1: The neighboring cell synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SSB) is within the UE serving cell active BWP (serving cell active BWP), or the current BWP (BandWidth Part, bandwidth part) of the serving cell where the UE is located is the initial BWP.

[0055] In addition, for intra-frequency measurement, Rel-15 supports whether a gap is required or not, and no additional signaling is required. For inter-frequency measurement, Rel-15 supports the need for a gap; Rel-16 introduces a 1-bit UE capability indication information (flag) to indicate whether a gap is required.

[0056] Based on the above two judgment systems, the present application embodiment proposes a UE measurement method, which can be applied to the above Figure 1 The application scenario shown. Figure 2 It is a flow chart of a measurement method 200 for a UE according to an embodiment of the present application, including:

[0057] S210: The UE determines that a measurement interval needs to be configured for measurement corresponding to a frequency point or a cell in a specified list according to at least one of the measurement interval configuration information, the gapless measurement capability, and the time-frequency location condition;

[0058] S220: The UE performs measurement according to the measurement interval.

[0059] The above-mentioned measurement may include intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement or inter-RAT measurement.

[0060] Optionally, the measurement interval configuration information includes measurement interval indication information, and the measurement interval indication information is used to indicate whether there is a measurement interval or not.

[0061] The above method may also include, if the measurement interval indication information is used to indicate that there is a measurement interval, the UE determines that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list needs to configure a measurement interval according to the gapless measurement capability and / or time-frequency location conditions.

[0062] In some implementations, the measurement interval configuration information (need for gap) may further include a filtering condition. The measurement interval indication information may be represented by 1 bit to indicate whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval or does not require a measurement interval. The filtering condition may include a target band filter configuration for dynamic need for gap reporting. The signaling configuration of NR needfor gap is as follows:

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] The measurement interval configuration information may be configured by the network device to the terminal device using RRC signaling.

[0066] As shown in the above signaling configuration, the above measurement interval indication information can have two values, namely "gap" and "no-gap", which are used to indicate that a measurement interval is required and no measurement interval is required, respectively. For intra-frequency measurement, the cell-level filter servCellId is used; for inter-frequency measurement, the band-level filter bandNR is used.

[0067] In some implementations, the determination of the measurement interval required for the frequency band or cell in the specified list includes at least one of the following:

[0068] When the measurement interval indication information indicates that there is a measurement interval and the filtering condition is not configured, determining a measurement interval required for measurement corresponding to all frequency points or cells in the specified list;

[0069] When the measurement interval indication information is a required measurement interval and the filtering condition is configured, determine a required measurement interval for the measurement corresponding to the first frequency point or the first cell in the designated list, wherein the first frequency point or the first cell satisfies the filtering condition.

[0070] Optionally, the determining of the measurement interval required for the frequency points or cells in the specified list further includes:

[0071] When the measurement interval indication information indicates that there is no measurement interval, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the designated list does not require a measurement interval.

[0072] Determining that the measurement interval does not need to be configured may include at least the following two situations:

[0073] The first is that when the measurement interval indication information indicates that there is no measurement interval and no filtering condition is configured, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to all frequency points or cells in the specified list does not require a measurement interval;

[0074] Second, when the measurement interval indication information indicates that there is no measurement interval and a filtering condition is configured, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell that meets the filtering condition in the specified list does not require a measurement interval.

[0075] In some embodiments, the above method also includes: when the frequency point or cell in the specified list changes, if the filtering condition has been updated, the UE re-determines the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list based on the gapless measurement capability and / or time-frequency position condition; if the filtering condition has not been updated, the UE does not update the information of the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list that needs to be configured, or the UE determines the measurement interval corresponding to the newly added frequency point or cell that needs to be configured according to a predetermined period.

[0076] The above methods define the filtering behavior of the UE for the filtering conditions, wherein the third method can reduce the implementation complexity.

[0077] Optionally, the reasons for the change in the above frequency point or cell include adding or releasing a secondary cell, cell switching, etc.

[0078] Optionally, the time-frequency position condition in the above step S220 includes: the position relationship between the neighboring cell SSB and the activated BWP of the UE serving cell.

[0079] Based on the above time-frequency location conditions, in some implementations, when the measurement is a co-frequency measurement, if at least one of the following conditions is met, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell does not need to configure a measurement interval:

[0080] The neighboring cell SSB is within the activated bandwidth part BWP of the UE serving cell;

[0081] The current BWP of the serving cell where the UE is located is the initial BWP.

[0082] When the measurement is an inter-frequency measurement, when determining whether to use a measurement gap in the above steps, in addition to the time-frequency location conditions, it can also be determined based on the UE's gapless measurement capability.

[0083] In some implementations, the gapless measurement capability of the UE includes:

[0084] The UE has the inter-frequency without MG measurement capability; or

[0085] The UE does not have the capability of inter-frequency gapless measurement;

[0086] The UE having the inter-frequency gapless measurement capability may mean that: the UE may not use the measurement gap when performing the inter-frequency measurement;

[0087] The UE not having the inter-frequency gapless measurement capability may mean that the UE must use a measurement gap when performing inter-frequency measurement.

[0088] Optionally, a 1-bit capability indication information (flag) is used to indicate whether the UE has the capability of inter-frequency gapless measurement. For example, when the flag is yes / 1, it indicates that the UE has the capability of inter-frequency gapless measurement; when the flag is no / 0, it indicates that the UE does not have the capability of inter-frequency gapless measurement.

[0089] In some implementations, the manner of determining whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list needs to use the measurement interval according to the gapless measurement capability and / or the time-frequency location condition includes at least the following:

[0090] First, in the case where the network measurement is an inter-frequency measurement, when the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list requires a measurement interval and the UE has an inter-frequency gapless measurement capability, if at least one of the following conditions is met, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list does not need to be configured with the measurement interval:

[0091] The neighboring SSB is within the activated BWP of the UE serving cell;

[0092] The current BWP of the serving cell where the UE is located is the initial BWP.

[0093] The second type is that, when the network measurement is an inter-frequency measurement, when the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list requires a measurement interval and the UE does not have the inter-frequency gapless measurement capability, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list needs to configure a measurement interval.

[0094] The third type is that when the network measurement is an inter-frequency measurement, when the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list satisfies the requirement that a measurement interval is not required, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list does not need to be configured with the measurement interval. In this case, it is not necessary to consider whether the UE has the capability of inter-frequency non-interval measurement.

[0095] The fourth type is that when the network measurement is an inter-frequency measurement, when the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list does not require a measurement interval and the UE does not have the ability to perform inter-frequency non-interval measurements, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list does not need to configure the measurement interval.

[0096] For heterogeneous network measurement, heterogeneous network measurement can be regarded as heterogeneous frequency measurement with flag=no / 0, that is, heterogeneous frequency measurement in which the UE does not have heterogeneous frequency gapless measurement capability. In a similar manner to the above, for heterogeneous network measurement, the method of determining whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list needs to use the measurement interval according to the gapless measurement capability and / or the time-frequency position condition in the above step S220 may also include:

[0097] In the case where the network measurement is an inter-network measurement, when the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list requires a measurement interval, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list requires configuration of the measurement interval.

[0098] Alternatively, when the network measurement is an inter-network measurement, when the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list does not require a measurement interval, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list does not need to configure the measurement interval.

[0099] In some embodiments, the above method further comprises:

[0100] Execute BWP switching;

[0101] After the BWP switching is completed, the UE determines the measurement interval required for the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the designated list according to the measurement interval indication information and the filtering condition.

[0102] Optionally, the triggering condition for the BWP switching includes at least one of the following:

[0103] Downlink Control Information (DCI) indicates triggering BWP switching;

[0104] The timer triggers the BWP switch;

[0105] RRC signaling triggers BWP switching.

[0106] By adopting the above process, the UE can, under the premise of determining that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval, re-determine whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell needs to be configured with a measurement interval when the time-frequency position condition changes.

[0107] It can be seen from the above process that in the UE measurement method proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the UE can determine whether a gap is required for the same-frequency measurement, different-frequency measurement and different-network measurement according to the need for gap; and the UE can further determine whether a gap needs to be configured according to the capability and time-frequency location conditions of the same-frequency and different-frequency measurements that do not require a gap. The above embodiment clarifies the behavior of the UE and integrates the above two judgment systems or criteria to determine whether the UE needs a gap to perform the measurement.

[0108] The following describes the present application in detail with reference to specific embodiments for intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and inter-network measurement.

[0109] Embodiment 1:

[0110] This embodiment is aimed at same-frequency measurement.

[0111] If at least one measurement object (MO) for co-frequency measurement is configured, and at least one co-frequency point is configured in each MO, co-frequency measurement is required. If no MO for co-frequency measurement is configured, or there is no co-frequency point in the MO, co-frequency measurement is not required. In the case of co-frequency measurement, the following steps are used to determine whether the UE needs a measurement interval.

[0112] Step 1: Determine whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list needs a measurement gap according to the measurement gap indication information and the filtering condition in the measurement gap configuration information. That is, the above-mentioned system 1. In this embodiment, the indication information is represented by Intra-f needforgap, and the filtering condition is represented by NeedForGapsBandlist. Specifically,

[0113] If the Intra-f needforgap indication is gap, that is, a measurement interval is required, and NeedForGapsBandlist is configured, the frequency points or cells in the specified list are filtered using NeedForGapsBandlist, and the measurements corresponding to the frequency points or cells in the specified list that meet the NeedForGapsBandlist are determined as the required measurement intervals;

[0114] If the Intra-f needforgap indicator is gap and NeedForGapsBandlist is not configured, no filtering is required and the measurements corresponding to all frequencies or cells in the specified list are determined as requiring measurement intervals;

[0115] If the Intra-f needforgap indication is no-gap, that is, no measurement gap is required, and NeedForGapsBandlist is configured, the frequency points or cells in the specified list are filtered using NeedForGapsBandlist, and the measurements corresponding to the frequency points or cells in the specified list that meet the NeedForGapsBandlist are determined as not requiring a measurement gap;

[0116] If the Intra-f needforgap indication is no-gap and the NeedForGapsBandlist is not configured, no filtering is required, and the measurements corresponding to all the frequencies or cells in the specified list are determined as not requiring measurement intervals.

[0117] Step 2: According to the current configuration status of BWP, determine whether the condition that the same-frequency measurement does not need to use a gap is met, that is, the above system 2. For example,

[0118] When the measurement corresponding to the above frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval, determine whether the following conditions are met:

[0119] The neighboring SSB is within the UE serving cell active BWP; and / or,

[0120] The current BWP of the serving cell where the UE is located is the initial BWP.

[0121] If so, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell does not need to use the gap; otherwise, the gap can still be used for measurement.

[0122] Step 3: Perform BWP switching.

[0123] The triggering conditions for BWP switching may include at least the following three conditions: DCI triggering, timer triggering or RRC signaling. Measurement is terminated during the BWP switching process.

[0124] Step 4: After the BWP switching is completed, return to the above step 2 to re-determine whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell needs to use the measurement interval.

[0125] This embodiment provides a method for determining whether a gap is configured for UE co-frequency measurement, thereby solving the problem of possible UE behavior confusion and improving the collaborative effect between the network and the terminal.

[0126] Embodiment 2:

[0127] This embodiment is for inter-frequency measurement. In the case of inter-frequency measurement, the following steps are used to determine whether the UE needs a measurement interval.

[0128] Step 1: Determine whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list needs a measurement gap according to the indication information and filtering conditions in the measurement gap configuration information. That is, the above-mentioned system 1. In this embodiment, the indication information is represented by Inter-fneedforgap, and the filtering condition is represented by NeedForGapsBandlist. Specifically,

[0129] If the Inter-f needforgap indication is gap, that is, a measurement interval is required, and NeedForGapsBandlist is configured, the frequency points or cells in the specified list are filtered using NeedForGapsBandlist, and the measurements corresponding to the frequency points or cells in the specified list that meet the NeedForGapsBandlist are determined as the required measurement intervals;

[0130] If the Inter-f needforgap indicator is gap and NeedForGapsBandlist is not configured, no filtering is required and the measurements corresponding to all frequencies or cells in the specified list are determined as requiring measurement intervals;

[0131] If the Inter-f needforgap indication is no-gap, that is, no measurement interval is required, and NeedForGapsBandlist is configured, the frequency points or cells in the specified list are filtered using NeedForGapsBandlist, and the measurements corresponding to the frequency points or cells in the specified list that meet the NeedForGapsBandlist are determined as not requiring a measurement interval;

[0132] If the Inter-f needforgap indication is no-gap and the NeedForGapsBandlist is not configured, no filtering is required, and the measurements corresponding to all the frequencies or cells in the specified list are determined as not requiring measurement intervals.

[0133] Step 2: Determine whether the condition that inter-frequency measurement does not require the use of gaps is met based on the UE's gapless measurement capability and the current configuration status of the BWP. The UE's gapless measurement capability may refer to whether the UE has the ability to perform inter-frequency gapless measurements. In this embodiment, a 1-bit flag may be used to indicate whether the UE has the ability to perform inter-frequency gapless measurements. In this embodiment, when the flag indicates yes / 1, it indicates that the UE has the ability to perform inter-frequency gapless measurements; when the flag indicates no / 0, it indicates that the UE does not have the ability to perform inter-frequency gapless measurements.

[0134] The determination method includes at least one of the following:

[0135] First, when the measurement corresponding to the filtered frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval, if the flag indicates yes / 1, the above system 2 is used to determine, for example, whether the following conditions are met:

[0136] The neighboring SSB is within the UE serving cell active BWP; and / or,

[0137] The current BWP of the serving cell where the UE is located is the initial BWP.

[0138] If so, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell does not need to use the gap; otherwise, the gap can still be used for measurement.

[0139] Second, when the measurement corresponding to the filtered frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval, if flag indicates no / 0, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the filtered frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval.

[0140] The third type is that when the measurement corresponding to the above-mentioned filtered frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval, there is no need to continue to judge the flag indication, that is, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the above-mentioned frequency point or cell requires a measurement interval.

[0141] Fourthly, when the measurement corresponding to the above-mentioned frequency point or cell after filtering does not require a measurement interval, there is no need to continue to judge the flag indication, that is, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the above-mentioned frequency point or cell does not require a measurement interval.

[0142] Fifth, when the measurement corresponding to the filtered frequency point or cell does not require a measurement interval, if flag indicates no / 0, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the filtered frequency point or cell does not require a measurement interval.

[0143] Sixth, when the measurement corresponding to the above-mentioned filtered frequency point or cell does not require a measurement interval, if the flag indicates no / 0, the UE considers it to be an incorrect configuration and the UE can ignore it.

[0144] Seventh, when the measurement corresponding to the above-mentioned frequency point or cell after filtering does not need a measurement interval, if the flag indicates yes / 1, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the above-mentioned frequency point or cell does not need to use a measurement interval.

[0145] Step 3: Perform BWP switching.

[0146] The triggering conditions for BWP switching may include at least the following three conditions: DCI triggering, timer triggering or RRC signaling. Measurement is terminated during the BWP switching process.

[0147] Step 4: After the BWP switching is completed, return to the above step 2 to re-determine whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell needs to use the measurement interval.

[0148] This embodiment provides a method for determining whether to configure a gap for UE inter-frequency measurement, solves the problem of possible UE behavior confusion, improves the coordination effect between the network and the terminal; and takes into account the compatibility issues of Rel-15 UE and Rel-16 enhanced UE performance.

[0149] Embodiment three:

[0150] This embodiment is for inter-RAT measurement. Inter-RAT measurement can be considered as inter-frequency measurement in which the UE does not have the capability of inter-frequency gapless measurement, such as the inter-frequency measurement with the flag indicating no / 0. In the case of inter-RAT measurement, the following steps are used to determine whether the UE needs a measurement gap.

[0151] Step 1: Determine whether the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell in the specified list needs a measurement gap according to the indication information and filtering conditions in the measurement gap configuration information. That is, the above-mentioned system 1. In this embodiment, the indication information is represented by Inter-RATneedforgap, and the filtering condition is represented by NeedForGapsBandlist. Specifically,

[0152] If the Inter-RAT needforgap indication is gap, that is, a measurement interval is required, and NeedForGapsBandlist is configured, the frequency points or cells in the specified list are filtered using NeedForGapsBandlist, and the measurements corresponding to the frequency points or cells in the specified list that meet the NeedForGapsBandlist are determined as the required measurement intervals;

[0153] If the Inter-RAT needforgap indication is gap and NeedForGapsBandlist is not configured, no filtering is required and the measurements corresponding to all frequencies or cells in the specified list are determined as requiring measurement intervals;

[0154] If the Inter-RAT needforgap indication is no-gap, that is, no measurement gap is required, and NeedForGapsBandlist is configured, the frequency points or cells in the specified list are filtered using NeedForGapsBandlist, and the measurements corresponding to the frequency points or cells in the specified list that meet the NeedForGapsBandlist are determined as not requiring a measurement gap;

[0155] If the Inter-RAT needforgap indication is no-gap and the NeedForGapsBandlist is not configured, no filtering is required, and the measurements corresponding to all the frequencies or cells in the specified list are determined as not requiring measurement intervals.

[0156] Step 2: At this time, it is assumed that the UE does not have the capability of gapless measurement. Therefore, the current configuration state of the BWP is not considered, that is, the above system 2 is not used for further judgment.

[0157] When the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or the cell requires a measurement interval, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or the cell needs to use the measurement interval.

[0158] When the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell does not require a measurement interval, it is determined that the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell does not need to use the measurement interval. Alternatively, when the measurement corresponding to the frequency point or cell does not require a measurement interval, it is considered to be an incorrect configuration and the UE can ignore it.

[0159] This embodiment provides a method for determining whether a gap is configured for UE inter-network measurement, thereby solving the problem of possible UE behavior confusion and improving the collaborative effect between the network and the terminal.

[0160] Embodiment 4:

[0161] In this embodiment, for the above-mentioned embodiments 1, 2, and 3, during the measurement process, if the frequency points or cells in the above-mentioned designated list change, the frequency points or cells in the designated list may be re-filtered in the following manner:

[0162] First, if the serving cell (number) changes and the network updates the filtering condition (such as NeedForGapsBandlist), the UE re-filters all the frequencies or cells in the specified list, that is, in combination with the indication information (gap or no-gap) in the measurement interval configuration information, re-determines whether all the frequencies or cells in the specified list need a measurement interval. Optionally, the UE re-determines whether all the frequencies or cells in the specified list need a measurement interval according to the indication of the DCI or RRC signaling.

[0163] Second, if the serving cell (number) changes and the network does not update the filtering conditions (such as NeedForGapsBandlist), the UE does not need to update the information on whether the corresponding frequency or cell measurement needs to configure a gap, and the UE can continue to use the previous RRC configuration.

[0164] The third type is that if the serving cell (number) changes and the network does not update the filtering conditions (such as NeedForGapsBandlist), the UE can semi-statically update and refresh according to a predetermined period, such as determining whether the measurement corresponding to the newly added frequency or cell requires a measurement interval according to a predetermined period. Optionally, the UE can only filter the newly added frequency or cell in the specified list, that is, combine the indication information (gap or no-gap) in the measurement interval configuration information to determine whether the newly added frequency or cell in the specified list needs to be configured with a measurement interval. The above semi-static update and refresh can be activated by a timer or indicated by RRC signaling.

[0165] The reasons for the changes in the above-mentioned frequency points or cells include, but are not limited to: adding of secondary cells, releasing of secondary cells, and cell switching.

[0166] This embodiment defines the filtering behavior of the UE on the filtering conditions in the measurement interval configuration information and provides three implementation possibilities, among which the third method can reduce the implementation complexity.

[0167] The present application also provides a method for configuring a UE measurement interval, which can be applied to the above Figure 1 The application scenario shown.
