Description

[0001] This application claims priority to international patent application No. PCT / CN2020 / 142407, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 31, 2020, entitled “A Method and Apparatus for Applying NCSG”, and international patent application No. PCT / CN2021 / 085456, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on April 2, 2021, entitled “A Measurement Method and Apparatus”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0003] In a communication network, under a single-radio architecture, in order to measure a reference signal on a measurement object (MO), the terminal needs to tune the radio frequency of the serving cell to the radio frequency of the MO, receive the reference signal on the radio frequency of the MO, measure the received reference signal, and after the measurement is completed, tune the radio frequency of the MO back to the radio frequency of the serving cell. During this process, a data interruption occurs on the serving cell, resulting in a measurement interval.

[0004] In a multi-RF architecture, to measure a reference signal on a specific Mobile Operational Unit (MO), the terminal activates the RF chain corresponding to that MO, receives the reference signal on the MO's RF band, measures the received reference signal, and then deactivates the RF chain corresponding to the MO after the measurement is complete. Since multiple RF chains, including the RF chain corresponding to the MO and the RF chain of the serving cell, may be controlled by the same control device, switching the RF chain corresponding to the MO may cause data interruption in the serving cell, resulting in measurement intervals.

[0005] To reduce the duration of data interruptions on the serving cell and minimize the impact of measurement gaps on data throughput, the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 17 (R17) MG enhancement project proposed the network control small gap (NCSG), along with the NCSG pattern and related configurations. However, it did not discuss the handover between the NCSG and the measurement gap (MG), nor did it discuss the terminal's measurement behavior within the measurement length (ML) of the NCSG. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides a measurement method and apparatus to solve the problems of inflexible switching between NCSG and MG and unclear terminal measurement behavior when NCSG is active.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, a measurement method is provided, the method comprising: a terminal determining a measurement interval type corresponding to a first group of MOs, the measurement interval type including MG or NCSG; the terminal measuring the first group of MOs according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs; and determining the data transmission behavior of the terminal on the serving cell according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs.

[0009] Based on the method described in the first aspect, for a group of MOs, the measurement interval type adopted by the group of MOs is determined, the parameters of NCSG are determined according to the determined measurement interval type, and the first group of MOs is measured (such as radio source management (RRM) measurement and the data transmission status on the serving cell is determined). It is not necessary to allocate an NCSG pattern for each MO that needs NCSG, which reduces the complexity of measurement interval configuration and enables flexible switching between measurement interval types.

[0010] In one possible design, the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG. The terminal measures the first group of MOs according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, including: the terminal determines the parameters of NCSG according to the parameters of the MG pattern configured by the network device for the first group of MOs, and determines the measurement behavior within the ML of NCSG according to the parameters of NCSG.

[0011] Based on this possible design, the parameters of NCSG are determined according to the parameters of the configured MG pattern, which simplifies the system design and eliminates the need to maintain the NCSG pattern, thereby reducing the complexity of NCSG configuration.

[0012] In one possible design, the method further includes: the terminal receiving first information from the network device, and the terminal determining the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, including: the terminal determining the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs based on the first information; wherein the first information is used to determine the measurement interval type.

[0013] Based on this possible design, the measurement interval type of the first set of MOs can be determined under the instruction of the network device, simplifying the system design and reducing the complexity of the terminal in determining the measurement interval type.

[0014] In one possible design, the first information indicates the measurement interval type; the first information is carried in the second information, which is used to configure the MG pattern; or, the first information is carried in layer (L)1 signaling; or, the first information is carried in L2 signaling.

[0015] Based on this possible design, the first information can be carried in the message configuring the MG pattern to reduce signaling overhead, or the first information can be carried using dedicated signaling to increase the diversity of ways to carry the first information and reduce the latency of the first information interaction.

[0016] In one possible design, the first information indicates whether the terminal is allowed to switch measurement interval types; the terminal determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs based on the first information, including: the terminal determines that it is allowed to switch measurement interval types based on the first information, and the terminal determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs based on a first rule; wherein the first rule includes: when there is no first type MO in the first group of MOs, the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG; when there is a first type MO in the first group of MOs, the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG; the first type of MO includes MOs that require MG; or, the terminal determines that it is not allowed to switch measurement interval types based on the first information, and the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG.

[0017] Based on this possible design, the measurement interval type can be determined according to pre-configured rules, simplifying system design. Simultaneously, terminals and network devices can determine whether to apply MG or NCSG based on the currently configured MO's requirements for MG or NCSG, achieving rapid switching between MG and NCSG while avoiding signaling interactions during switching between MG and NCSG when the MO changes.

[0018] In one possible design, the terminal determines the parameters of the NCSG based on the parameters of the MG pattern configured by the network device for the first group of MOs, including: the terminal uses the measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) of the MG pattern as the visible interruption repetition period (VIRP) of the NCSG; the terminal uses the measurement gap length (MGL) of the MG pattern after removing the first visible interruption length (VIL) and the second VIL as the ML of the NCSG, and the duration of the first VIL and the duration of the second VIL are equal to the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern.

[0019] Based on this possible design, the parameters of NCSG can be determined according to the parameters of MG pattern, simplifying the configuration of NCSG parameters. At the same time, the system VIL can be set for all scheduling modes, simplifying the system design.

[0020] In one possible design, the data transmission behavior includes uplink transmission. The terminal determines the data transmission behavior on the serving cell based on the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs, including: determining whether to perform uplink transmission within n slots or symbols after the first VIL, and determining whether to perform uplink transmission within n slots or symbols after the second VIL; where n is an integer greater than or equal to zero, and n is predefined in the protocol or determined according to the terminal's communication parameters.

[0021] Based on this possible design, the terminal can determine whether to perform uplink transmission based on its own internal implementation in the first VIL and the second VIL. This uplink transmission behavior of the terminal is the same as the uplink transmission behavior after MG, that is, reusing the existing process. At the same time, it avoids defining different VILs for different scheduling methods and simplifies the system design.

[0022] In one possible design, if the MG pattern is an MG pattern configured at the terminal level, or if the MG pattern is an MG pattern corresponding to the first FR configured at the frequency range (FR) level, then the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern is 0.5 milliseconds (ms); if the MG pattern is an MG pattern corresponding to the second FR configured at the FR level, then the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern is 0.25 ms.

[0023] In one possible design, the terminal determines the measurement behavior within the ML of the NCSG based on the parameters of the NCSG, including: if the terminal supports the measurement of Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG, then the terminal measures both Type 2 and Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG; the measurement behavior of the terminal when measuring Type 2 and Type 3 MOs is the same as the measurement behavior of the terminal outside the MGL of the MG; if the terminal does not support the measurement of Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG, then the terminal only measures Type 2 MOs within the ML of the NCSG; the measurement behavior of the terminal when measuring Type 2 MOs is the same as the measurement behavior of the terminal within the MGL of the MG; Type 2 MOs include MOs that require the NCSG, and Type 3 MOs include MOs that do not require the MG or the NCSG.

[0024] Based on this possible design, depending on whether the terminal supports measuring MOs that do not require MG within the ML of NCSG, the terminal is allowed to measure or not measure other MOs that do not require MG during the ML time of NCSG. Different terminal implementations are distinguished, so that terminals that can support simultaneous measurement of two types of MOs can achieve faster measurement, while terminals that cannot support simultaneous measurement of two types of MOs can reuse existing implementations, simplifying system design and achieving compatibility.

[0025] In one possible design, the terminal sends third information to the network device; this third information indicates whether the terminal supports Type 3 MO measurements within the ML of the NCSG. This allows the network device to determine the terminal's measurement latency based on the third information. For example, the network device can estimate the terminal's measurement latency based on the third information and adjust the MO or MG configuration according to its own latency requirements.

[0026] In one possible design, the method further includes: the terminal performing L1 measurements of the serving cell within the ML of the NCSG, thereby improving resource utilization and avoiding the impact of NCSG-based measurements on L1 measurements.

[0027] In one possible design, the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG; the MOs measured within the NCSG and the MOs measured outside the NCSG correspond to the first measurement behavior.

[0028] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior of the MO to be measured inside and outside the NCSG is guaranteed to be consistent, so that the terminal will not treat the NCSG as a special measurement opportunity for measuring some MOs, nor will it treat the NCSG as an unavailable measurement opportunity.

[0029] In one possible design, the first measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: the scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO is obtained according to a first calculation method, which is the calculation method used when measuring outside the MG; the scaling factor Kp = 1 for L3 measurement; the scaling factor Klayer1 for L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of all L1 measurement reference signals inside and outside the NCSG; the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF when the NCSG overlaps with the synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) measurement timing configuration (SMTC) is the same as the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap.

[0030] Based on this possible design, measurement behaviors within and outside the NCSG can be flexibly designed. Under the first measurement behavior, it can be ensured that all MOs included in the first group of MOs can share the same measurement resources and reduce measurement latency, ensuring the normal performance of L3 and L1 measurements. At the same time, the measurement latency is reduced by keeping the calculation formula of the scaling factor CSSF unchanged.

[0031] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes a third type of MO, which includes MOs that do not require MG and NCSG. Alternatively, the first group of MOs includes a second type of MO and a third type of MO, where the second type of MO includes MOs that require NCSG, and the third type of MO includes MOs that do not require MG and NCSG, and the terminal supports measuring the second type of MO and the third type of MO within the NCSG.

[0032] Based on this possible design, the first measurement behavior can be applied not only to scenarios where the first group of MOs includes the third type of MO, but also to scenarios where the first group of MOs includes the second type of MO and the third type of MO, thereby improving the applicability of the first measurement behavior.

[0033] In one possible design, if the third type of MO includes a deactivated MO, then the UE determines to provide a measurement interrupt for the deactivated MO within the VIL of the NCSG. This allows the RF channel corresponding to the deactivated MO to be enabled / disabled within the VIL of the NCSG without requiring an additional measurement interrupt, thus not affecting MO measurements and saving terminal measurement resources.

[0034] In one possible design, the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG; the MOs measured within the NCSG correspond to the second measurement behavior, and the MOs measured outside the NCSG correspond to the third measurement behavior; the second measurement behavior and the third measurement behavior are different.

[0035] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior used for different MOs is different when measuring them inside and outside the NCSG, thereby improving the accuracy of MO measurements.

[0036] In one possible design, the second measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: the scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO in the NCSG is obtained according to the second calculation method, which is the calculation method used when measuring in the MG; the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal in the NCSG.

[0037] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior corresponding to the MO within the NCSG can be flexibly designed. Under the second measurement behavior, it is ensured that the MOs within the NCSG can share the same measurement resources and reduce measurement latency, thus ensuring the normal operation of L1 measurement.

[0038] In one possible design, the third measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO outside the NCSG is determined according to the calculation method used when measuring outside the MG; when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor Kp of the L3 measurement is greater than 1; when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal outside the NCSG; when the NCSG and SMTC overlap, the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF is the calculation method within the MG, and the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal within the NCSG.

[0039] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior corresponding to the MO outside the NCSG can be flexibly designed. Under the third measurement behavior, it is ensured that the MO outside the NCSG can share the same measurement resources and reduce the measurement latency, thus ensuring the normal operation of L1 and L3 measurements.

[0040] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes a second type of MO and a third type of MO, with the second type of MO measured within the NCSG and the third type of MO measured outside the NCSG; the second type of MO includes MOs that require the NCSG, and the third type of MO includes MOs that do not require the MG and MOs that do not require the NCSG.

[0041] Based on this possible design, the second measurement behavior can be applied to the second type of MO, and the third measurement behavior can be applied to the second type of MO. Different measurement behaviors can be flexibly designed for different MOs to ensure the accuracy of MO measurement.

[0042] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes the third type of MOs, in which the deactivation MOs are measured within the NCSG, and the other MOs in the third type of MOs, excluding the activation MOs, are measured outside the NCSG; the third type of MOs includes MOs that do not require MG and MOs that do not require NCSG.

[0043] Based on this possible design, the second measurement behavior can be applied to deactivated MOs in the third type of MO, and the third measurement behavior can be applied to other MOs in the third type of MO except for activated MOs. Different measurement behaviors can be flexibly designed for different MOs in the third type of MO, which not only ensures the accuracy of MO measurement, but also avoids additional measurement interruptions for deactivated MOs, thereby improving resource utilization.

[0044] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes a second type of MO and a third type of MO. The second type of MO and the deactivation MOs in the third type of MO are measured within the NCSG, while the other MOs in the third type of MO, excluding the activation MOs, are measured outside the NCSG. The second type of MO includes MOs that require the NCSG, and the third type of MO includes MOs that do not require the MG and MOs that do not require the NCSG.

[0045] Based on this possible design, the second measurement behavior can be applied to deactivated MOs in both the second and third types of MOs, while the third measurement behavior can be applied to other MOs in the third type except for activated MOs. Different measurement behaviors can be flexibly designed for different MOs to ensure the accuracy of MO measurements. Simultaneously, by measuring deactivated MOs within the NCSG, no additional measurement interruptions are provided for deactivated MOs, improving resource utilization.

[0046] In one possible design, the first set of MOs includes a deactivation secondary carrier SCC. The terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs is NCSG. The terminal measures the first set of MOs according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs, including: the terminal determines the measurement behavior for the deactivation SCC based on the parameters of NCSG and the attribute information of the deactivation SCC; or, the terminal determines the measurement behavior for the deactivation SCC based on the attribute information of the deactivation SCC.

[0047] Based on this possible design, the terminal can determine the measurement behavior for the deactivated SCC according to the parameters of the NCSG and the attribute information of the deactivated SCC, or the terminal can determine the measurement behavior for the deactivated SCC according to the attribute information of the deactivated SCC.

[0048] In one possible design, the attribute information of the deactivation SCC includes the SMTC of the deactivation SCC; the terminal determines the measurement behavior of the deactivation SCC based on the parameters of the NCSG and the attribute information of the deactivation SCC, including: if the NCSG and the SMTC of the deactivation SCC completely or partially overlap, the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG; or, if the NCSG and the SMTC of the deactivation SCC do not overlap, the terminal measures the deactivation SCC outside the NCSG.

[0049] Based on this possible design, when the attribute information of deactivating SCC includes the SMTC of deactivating SCC, the network device can control the terminal's measurement behavior (such as measuring within or outside the NCSG) by controlling the overlap relationship between the NCSG and the SMTC of deactivating SCC. This allows the network device to configure the NCSG without having to completely cover the SMTC of deactivating SCC, making the configuration more flexible and convenient.

[0050] In one possible design, the attribute information for deactivating the SCC includes the measurement period; the terminal determines the measurement behavior for deactivating the SCC based on the attribute information of the deactivating SCC, including: if the measurement period is greater than or equal to a first value, the terminal measures the deactivating SCC within the NCSG, wherein the NCSG and the SMTC of the deactivating SCC completely or partially overlap; or, if the measurement period is less than the first value, the terminal measures the deactivating SCC outside the NCSG.

[0051] Based on this possible design, if the attribute information for deactivating SCC includes the measurement period, the terminal can determine whether to measure SCC deactivation within the NCSG or outside the NCSG based on whether the measurement period is greater than a first value.

[0052] In one possible design, if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG, the deactivation SCC is calculated within the CSSF measured within the NCSG; or, if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC outside the NCSG, the deactivation SCC is calculated within the CSSF measured outside the NCSG.

[0053] Based on this possible design, when the terminal measures deactivated SCC within the NCSG, the terminal will consider deactivated SCC when calculating the CSSF measured within the NCSG; when the terminal measures deactivated SCC outside the NCSG, the terminal will consider activated SCC when calculating the CSSF measured outside the NCSG. This makes the CSSF more accurate.

[0054] In one possible design, if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG, the measurement of the deactivation SCC will not cause an interruption; or, if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG, the measurement of the deactivation SCC will not cause an interruption for active cells in frequency bands different from the frequency band where the deactivation SCC is located, but will cause an interruption for active cells in frequency bands with the same frequency band as the frequency band where the deactivation SCC is located.

[0055] Based on this possible design, in one scenario, when the terminal measures the deactivated SCC within the NCSG, the interruption caused by the measurement of the deactivated SCC can be included within the VIL. For example, the terminal can enable or disable the RF chain corresponding to the deactivated SCC within the VIL; therefore, the measurement of the deactivated SCC will not cause an interruption. In another scenario, for active cells in a frequency band different from the frequency band where the deactivated SCC is located, the terminal can include the interruption caused by the measurement of the deactivated SCC within the VIL. For example, the terminal can enable or disable the RF chain corresponding to the deactivated SCC within the VIL; therefore, the measurement of the deactivated SCC will not cause an interruption. For active cells in the same frequency band as the deactivated SCC, besides the impact of enabling or disabling the RF chain, other factors may affect the active cell in the same frequency band. For example, the power adjustment period after the terminal enables the RF chain will also affect the active cell in the same frequency band. If the power adjustment period is not included within the VIL, it will cause an interruption to the active cell in the same frequency band.

[0056] In one possible design, the method further includes: if the terminal has independent beam management capability between the frequency band where the first serving cell is located and the frequency bands where all measurement target frequency points in the NCSG are located, then the terminal performs L1 measurement of the first serving cell within the NCSG; or, if the terminal does not have independent beam management capability between the frequency band where the first serving cell is located and the frequency band where any measurement target frequency point in the NCSG is located, then the terminal performs L1 measurement of the first serving cell outside the NCSG.

[0057] Based on this possible design, if the terminal has independent beam management capabilities between the frequency band of the first serving cell and the frequency bands of all measurement target frequencies within the NCSG, then the terminal's measurement of the measurement target frequencies (i.e., L3 measurement of the measurement target frequencies) will not affect the L1 measurement of the first serving cell. In other words, the L1 measurement of the first serving cell is unaffected by the L3 measurement of the measurement target frequencies. Therefore, the terminal can perform L1 measurements of the first serving cell within the NCSG. Compared to MG measurement, this reduces the impact of L3 measurement of the measurement target frequencies on the L1 measurement of the first serving cell, increases the opportunity for L1 measurement, and reduces L1 measurement latency.

[0058] Secondly, this application provides a communication device, which can be a terminal, a chip or system-on-a-chip within a terminal, or a functional module within the communication device for implementing the methods described in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect. This communication device can implement the functions performed by the communication device in the above aspects or possible designs, and these functions can be implemented by hardware executing corresponding software. The hardware or software includes one or more modules corresponding to the above functions. For example, the communication device may include: a processing unit and a transmitting unit.

[0059] The processing unit is used to determine the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, including MG or NCSG, control the transmitting unit to measure the first group of MOs according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, and determine the data transmission behavior of the terminal on the serving cell according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs.

[0060] The specific implementation of this communication device can refer to the terminal's behavioral functions in the measurement method provided by the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect, and will not be repeated here. Therefore, the terminal provided by the second aspect achieves the same beneficial effects as the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.

[0061] Thirdly, a communication device is provided, which can be a terminal or a chip or system-on-a-chip within the terminal. This communication device can implement the functions performed by the terminal in the above-described aspects or possible designs, and these functions can be implemented in hardware. In one possible design, the communication device may include a processor and a communication interface. The processor can be used to support the communication device in implementing the functions involved in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect, for example: the processor is used to determine the measurement interval type corresponding to a first set of MOs, the measurement interval type including MG or NCSG; to measure the first set of MOs according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs; and to determine the data transmission behavior on the serving cell of the terminal according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs. In yet another possible design, the communication device may further include a memory for storing necessary computer execution instructions and data. When the communication device is running, the processor executes the computer execution instructions stored in the memory to cause the communication device to perform the measurement method as described in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.

[0062] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, which may be a readable non-volatile storage medium storing instructions that, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to perform the measurement method described in the first aspect or any possible design of the above aspects.

[0063] Fifthly, a computer program product containing instructions is provided, which, when run on a computer, causes the computer to perform the measurement method described in the first aspect or any possible design of the above aspects.

[0064] In a sixth aspect, a communication device is provided, which can be a terminal or a chip or system-on-a-chip in a terminal. The communication device includes one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more memories are coupled to the one or more processors and are used to store computer program code, which includes computer instructions. When the one or more processors execute the computer instructions, they cause the communication device to perform the measurement method as described in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.

[0065] The technical effects of any of the design methods in aspects three through six can be found in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] In a seventh aspect, a measurement method is provided, the method being applied to a network device, the method comprising: the network device determining a measurement interval type corresponding to a first group of MOs, the measurement interval type including a measurement interval MG or NCSG; and the network device performing data scheduling on a terminal according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs.

[0067] In one possible design, the network device determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG, and the network device determines the parameters of NCSG according to the parameters of the MG pattern configured by the network device for the first group of MOs.

[0068] Based on this possible design, the parameters of NCSG are determined according to the parameters of the configured MG pattern, which simplifies the system design and eliminates the need to maintain the NCSG pattern, thereby reducing the complexity of NCSG configuration.

[0069] In one possible design, the method further includes: the network device sending first information to the terminal, the first information being used to determine the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs.

[0070] Based on this possible design, the network device can indicate the measurement interval type of the first set of MOs to the terminal, simplifying the system design and reducing the complexity for the terminal to determine the measurement interval type.

[0071] The design form and delivery method of the first information can be referred to in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0072] The parameters of NCSG include the first VIL, ML, and the second VIL. Specifically, the process by which the network device determines the parameters of NCSG based on the parameters of the MG pattern configured by the network device for the first group of MOs can be referred to the process by which the terminal determines the parameters of NCSG based on the parameters of the MG pattern described in the possible design of the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.

[0073] The relevant descriptions of the first VIL, ML, and second VIL can be found in the first aspect and will not be repeated here.

[0074] In one possible design, data scheduling includes uplink data scheduling. The network device schedules data for the terminal according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs. This includes: the network device generating scheduling information and sending the scheduling information to the terminal. The scheduling information is used to schedule the terminal to perform uplink transmission after n slots or symbols following the first VIL, and to schedule the terminal to perform uplink transmission after n slots or symbols following the second VIL. Here, n is an integer greater than or equal to zero, and n is predefined in the protocol or determined according to the terminal's communication parameters.

[0075] Based on this possible design, network devices can schedule uplink transmission for terminals after n slots or symbols following the first VIL, without affecting the uplink transmission of terminals. At the same time, this avoids uplink transmission scheduling failures caused by the network device scheduling uplink transmission for terminals within n slots or symbols following the first VIL, while the terminals do not perform uplink transmission during this period due to internal implementation, which would lead to power consumption problems for network devices.

[0076] In one possible design, the method further includes: the network device receiving third information from the terminal, the third information indicating whether the terminal supports the measurement of a third type of MO within the ML of the NCSG.

[0077] Based on this possible design, network devices can learn about the terminal's measurement capabilities within the ML of the NCSG based on third information, so that network devices can determine the terminal's measurement latency based on the third information. For example, network devices can estimate the terminal's measurement latency based on the third information and adjust the MO or MG configuration according to their own needs for measurement latency.

[0078] In one possible design, the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG; the MOs measured within the NCSG and the MOs measured outside the NCSG correspond to the first measurement behavior.

[0079] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior of the MO to be measured inside and outside the NCSG is guaranteed to be consistent, so that the terminal will not treat the NCSG as a special measurement opportunity for measuring some MOs, nor will it treat the NCSG as an unavailable measurement opportunity.

[0080] In one possible design, the first measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: the scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO is obtained according to a first calculation method, which is the calculation method used when measuring outside the MG; the scaling factor Kp = 1 for L3 measurement; the scaling factor Klayer1 for L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of all L1 measurement reference signals inside and outside the NCSG; the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF when the NCSG overlaps with the synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) measurement timing configuration (SMTC) is the same as the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap.

[0081] Based on this possible design, measurement behaviors within and outside the NCSG can be flexibly designed. Under the first measurement behavior, it can be ensured that all MOs included in the first group of MOs can share the same measurement resources and reduce measurement latency, ensuring the normal performance of L3 and L1 measurements. At the same time, the measurement latency is reduced by keeping the calculation formula of the scaling factor CSSF unchanged.

[0082] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes a third type of MO, which includes MOs that do not require MG and NCSG. Alternatively, the first group of MOs includes a second type of MO and a third type of MO, where the second type of MO includes MOs that require NCSG, and the third type of MO includes MOs that do not require MG and NCSG, and the terminal supports measuring the second type of MO and the third type of MO within the NCSG.

[0083] Based on this possible design, the first measurement behavior can be applied not only to scenarios where the first group of MOs includes the third type of MO, but also to scenarios where the first group of MOs includes the second type of MO and the third type of MO, thereby improving the applicability of the first measurement behavior.

[0084] In one possible design, if the third type of MO includes a deactivated MO, then the UE determines to provide a measurement interrupt for the deactivated MO within the VIL of the NCSG. This allows the RF channel corresponding to the deactivated MO to be enabled / disabled within the VIL of the NCSG without requiring an additional measurement interrupt, thus not affecting MO measurements and saving terminal measurement resources.

[0085] In one possible design, the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG; the MOs measured within the NCSG correspond to the second measurement behavior, and the MOs measured outside the NCSG correspond to the third measurement behavior; the second measurement behavior and the third measurement behavior are different.

[0086] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior used for different MOs is different when measuring them inside and outside the NCSG, thereby improving the accuracy of MO measurements.

[0087] In one possible design, the second measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: the scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO in the NCSG is obtained according to the second calculation method, which is the calculation method used when measuring in the MG; the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal in the NCSG.

[0088] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior corresponding to the MO within the NCSG can be flexibly designed. Under the second measurement behavior, it is ensured that the MOs within the NCSG can share the same measurement resources and reduce measurement latency, thus ensuring the normal operation of L1 measurement.

[0089] In one possible design, the third measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO outside the NCSG is determined according to the calculation method used when measuring outside the MG; when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor Kp of the L3 measurement is greater than 1; when the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal outside the NCSG; when the NCSG and SMTC overlap, the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF is the calculation method within the MG, and the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal within the NCSG.

[0090] Based on this possible design, the measurement behavior corresponding to the MO outside the NCSG can be flexibly designed. Under the third measurement behavior, it is ensured that the MO outside the NCSG can share the same measurement resources and reduce the measurement latency, thus ensuring the normal operation of L1 and L3 measurements.

[0091] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes a second type of MO and a third type of MO, with the second type of MO measured within the NCSG and the third type of MO measured outside the NCSG; the second type of MO includes MOs that require the NCSG, and the third type of MO includes MOs that do not require the MG and MOs that do not require the NCSG.

[0092] Based on this possible design, the second measurement behavior can be applied to the second type of MO, and the third measurement behavior can be applied to the second type of MO. Different measurement behaviors can be flexibly designed for different MOs to ensure the accuracy of MO measurement.

[0093] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes the third type of MOs, in which the deactivation MOs are measured within the NCSG, and the other MOs in the third type of MOs, excluding the activation MOs, are measured outside the NCSG; the third type of MOs includes MOs that do not require MG and MOs that do not require NCSG.

[0094] Based on this possible design, the second measurement behavior can be applied to deactivated MOs in the third type of MO, and the third measurement behavior can be applied to other MOs in the third type of MO except for activated MOs. Different measurement behaviors can be flexibly designed for different MOs in the third type of MO, which not only ensures the accuracy of MO measurement, but also avoids additional measurement interruptions for deactivated MOs, thereby improving resource utilization.

[0095] In one possible design, the first group of MOs includes a second type of MO and a third type of MO. The second type of MO and the deactivation MOs in the third type of MO are measured within the NCSG, while the other MOs in the third type of MO, excluding the activation MOs, are measured outside the NCSG. The second type of MO includes MOs that require the NCSG, and the third type of MO includes MOs that do not require the MG and MOs that do not require the NCSG.

[0096] Based on this possible design, the second measurement behavior can be applied to deactivated MOs in both the second and third types of MOs, while the third measurement behavior can be applied to other MOs in the third type except for activated MOs. Different measurement behaviors can be flexibly designed for different MOs to ensure the accuracy of MO measurements. Simultaneously, by measuring deactivated MOs within the NCSG, no additional measurement interruptions are provided for deactivated MOs, improving resource utilization.

[0116] Before introducing the embodiments of this application, some terms involved in the embodiments of this application will be explained:

[0117] MG: To measure a reference signal on a certain MO (Mobile Operator), the terminal tunes the radio frequency (RF) of the serving cell to the RF of the MO, receives the reference signal on the MO's RF, measures the received reference signal, and then tunes the MO's RF back to the serving cell's RF after the measurement is completed. During the time period of tuning the serving cell's RF to the MO's RF, performing the measurement on the MO's RF, and tuning the MO's RF back to the serving cell, the serving cell's RF is in a switched-off state, resulting in a data interruption on the serving cell. This period can be called the interruption time or MG.

[0118] In this embodiment, the serving cell can refer to the cell that provides services (such as uplink and downlink transmission) to the terminal. If the terminal is in radio resource control (RRC) connected state but has not configured carrier aggregation (CA), then the terminal has only one serving cell, namely the primary cell (PCell). If the terminal is in RRC connected state and has configured CA, then the set of serving cells for the terminal includes the PCell and all secondary cells (SCells).

[0119] For example, Figure 1 For MG schematic diagram, as follows Figure 1 As shown, the duration of a single MG can be called the MGL or interrupt time, and the time interval between consecutive MGs can be called the MGRP. Optional, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the MG may include the RF adjustment time before measurement (part1), the measurement time (part2), and the RF adjustment time after measurement (part3), during which a data interruption occurs on the serving cell.

[0120] The parameters of the MG can include MGL, MGRP, and time-domain location information. The time-domain location information can be used to indicate the starting position of a data interruption on the serving cell. The parameters of the MG can be configured by the network device. The 3GPP standard protocol defines twenty-six MG patterns, which are numbered from gap (GP)#0 to GP#25. Each MG pattern corresponds to a set of parameters for the MG, and the values ​​of the parameters can be different for different MG patterns.

[0121] It should be noted that this application is not limited to the naming of MG and its various parameters. MG can also be named full gap or other names without restriction.

[0122] To reduce the impact of the MG (Mobile Module) on the data throughput of the serving cell, the 3GPP R17 MG Enhancement Project proposed the NCSG (Non-Controlled Streaming Signal) mechanism. For example, when a terminal sets up multiple radio chains, and it measures a reference signal on a certain MG, it activates the radio chain corresponding to that MG, receives the reference signal on the MG's radio frequency, measures the received signal, and then closes the radio chain corresponding to the MG after the measurement. There is no need to tune the serving cell's radio frequency to the MG's radio frequency. The time period during which the terminal activates the radio chain corresponding to the MG, performs the measurement on the MG's radio frequency, and closes the MG's radio chain can be called the NCSG. Since multiple radio chains on the terminal share the same switching control device, activating or deactivating the radio chain corresponding to the MG may affect the activation or deactivation of the radio chain corresponding to the serving cell, leading to data interruption on the serving cell.

[0123] For example, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of NCSG, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, an NCSG can include a first VIL, an ML, and a second VIL. The time interval between consecutive NCSGs can be called VIRP. The first VIL can be the length of time the terminal turns on the radio chain corresponding to the MO, the second VIL can be the length of time the terminal turns off the radio chain corresponding to the MO, and the ML can be the length of time the terminal uses the radio chain corresponding to the MO to perform RRM measurements. During the ML, the data on the serving cell of the terminal will not be interrupted.

[0124] In this embodiment, the first VIL can refer to the time period during which the radio frequency chain corresponding to the MO is enabled in the NCSG, and the second VIL can refer to the time period during which the radio frequency chain corresponding to the MO is disabled in the NCSG. In this application, the naming of the first VIL and the second VIL is not limited; the first VIL can also be described as the pre-VIL, and the second VIL can also be described as the post-VIL.

[0125] The parameters of NCSG can include VIL, ML, and VIRP, and the values ​​of each parameter can be pre-configured. For example, the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard protocol defines four NCSG patterns: #0 to #3, and the identifiers (IDs) of these four NCSG patterns can be 0, 1, 2, and 3. Each NCSG pattern corresponds to a set of NCSG parameters, and the values ​​of the parameters can be different for different NCSG patterns.

[0126] For example, taking VIL1 as the first VIL and VIL2 as the second VIL, Table 1 below shows four NCSG patterns. As shown in Table 1, the parameter values ​​for each NCSG pattern are different. For instance, when NCSG pattern ID is 0, VIL1 is 1ms, ML is 4ms, and when the scheduling mode is downlink (DL) scheduling (or simply downlink data scheduling), VIL2 is 1ms; when the scheduling mode is uplink (UL) scheduling (or simply uplink data scheduling), VIL2 is 2ms, and VIRP is 40ms. When NCSG pattern ID is 1, VIL1 is 1ms, ML is 4ms, and when the scheduling mode is downlink data scheduling, VIL2 is 1ms; when the scheduling mode is uplink data scheduling, VIL2 is 2ms, and VIRP is 80ms.

[0127] Table 1

[0128]

[0129] In one possible design, the network device configures an NCSG pattern or MG pattern for one or a group of MOs of the terminal. The terminal performs RRM measurements on the MOs according to the parameters corresponding to the configured NCSG pattern or MG pattern. For example, assuming the terminal supports CA technology and synchronous dual connection (DC) technology, under synchronous DC, if the terminal is not configured with an MG pattern, the network device can configure a per-UE NCSG, with the same NCSG configured on each component carrier (CC). If the terminal is configured with an MG pattern (GP#0 or GP#1) on some CCs, NCSG pattern 0 or NCSG pattern 1 can be implicitly configured on other CCs; if the terminal is configured with an MG pattern on all CCs, NCSG cannot be configured.

[0130] Under asynchronous DC, if the terminal is not configured with a MG in either the master cell group (MCG) or the secondary cell group (SCG), the network device can configure a per-CC NCSG. If the terminal is configured with MG pattern GP#0 or GP#1 on the MCG (or SCG), but not with MG on the SCG (or MCG), NCSG pattern 2 / NCSG pattern 3 can be implicitly configured on the SCG (or MCG).

[0131] In the above possible designs, network devices may need to configure NCSG pattern and MG pattern for terminals simultaneously for different MOs. The configuration method is complex and inflexible, and multiple NCSG patterns and multiple MG patterns need to be maintained. At the same time, flexible switching between NCSG pattern or MG pattern cannot be achieved, and the measurement behavior in NCSG ML is not standardized.

[0132] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide a measurement method. This method includes: a terminal determining a measurement interval type corresponding to a first group of MOs, where the measurement interval type includes MG or NCSG; the terminal measuring the first group of MOs according to the determined measurement interval type; and determining the data transmission behavior on the serving cell of the terminal based on the measurement interval type. Specifically, for a group of MOs, the measurement interval type used by that group is determined so that the parameters of the NCSG can be determined and measurements performed based on the determined measurement interval type. This eliminates the need to allocate an NCSG pattern to each MO in the group that requires NCSG, reducing the complexity of measurement interval configuration.

[0133] The measurement method provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0134] The measurement method provided in this application can be used in any system of the fourth generation (4G) system, LTE system, fifth generation (5G) system, new radio (NR) system, new radio-vehicle-to-everything (NR-V2X) system, and Internet of Things (IoT) system, and can also be applied to other next-generation communication systems, etc., without limitation. The following examples illustrate this method. Figure 3 Taking the communication system shown as an example, the measurement method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described.

[0152] Figure 5 A measurement method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method may include:

[0153] Step 501: The terminal determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, which is MG or NCSG.

[0154] The terminal can be Figure 3 This refers to any terminal in the communication system shown. This terminal can perform uplink or downlink transmissions with network devices on the serving cell. A detailed description of the serving cell is provided above and will not be repeated here.

[0155] In this embodiment, the first group of MOs can be configured to the terminal by the network device. The first group of MOs can include one or more MOs, and the MOs can include the frequency points of the serving cell or non-serving cells of the terminal. In one example, the first group of MOs can include all MOs of the terminal, that is, the MG or NCSG corresponding to the first group of MOs is per UE. In another example, the first group of MOs can include all MOs within a certain frequency range (FR) supported by the terminal, that is, the MG or NCSG corresponding to the first group of MOs is per FR. The FRs supported by the terminal can include a first FR or a second FR. The first FR can be a low-frequency range FR1, and the second FR can be a high-frequency range FR2. It should be understood that the grouping method of MOs in this application embodiment is not limited.

[0156] For example, the terminal can determine whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG under the instruction of the network device. For instance, the terminal can receive first information from the network device, which is used to determine the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, and the terminal determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs based on the first information.

[0157] In one possible design, the first information indicates the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs. For example, the first information may carry an indicator to indicate whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG. After receiving the first information, the terminal can directly determine whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG based on the first information.

[0158] Specifically, the first information can be a binary bit "0" or "1". When the first information is a binary bit "0", it indicates that the measurement interval type is MG. When the first information is a binary bit "1", it indicates that the measurement interval type is NCSG.

[0159] In this possible design, the first information can be carried within the second information, which can be used to configure the MG pattern for the first group of MOs of the terminal. When the first group of MOs includes all MOs of the terminal, the MG pattern can be an MG pattern configured at the terminal level, i.e., a per-UE MG pattern. Alternatively, when the first group of MOs includes MOs corresponding to a certain FR supported by the terminal, the MG pattern can be an MG pattern configured at the FR supported by the terminal level, i.e., a per-FR MG pattern. This MG pattern can correspond to FR1 or FR2. Specifically, the second information can be called MGpattern configuration information. Carrying the first information within the second information allows the network device to simultaneously configure the MG pattern corresponding to the first group of MOs for the terminal and additionally indicate whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG, saving signaling overhead.

[0160] Alternatively, in this possible design, the first information can also be carried in the new signaling, such as in layer (L)1 signaling or L2 signaling. That is, a dedicated signaling is used to indicate whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG, so that the terminal can know the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs in a timely and accurate manner.

[0161] In this embodiment of the application, the way the network device configures the MG pattern for the first set of MOs of the terminal can be referred to as follows: for example, the terminal can report capability information (such as whether the terminal needs MG, etc.) to the network device, and the network device can send the second information carrying the MG pattern (such as MG pattern configuration information) to the terminal according to the capability information reported by the terminal.

[0162] Specifically, for the MG pattern per UE, the MG pattern configured by the network device for the first set of MOs of the terminal can be any one of GP#0-GP#25. For the MG pattern per FR, and the MG pattern corresponding to FR1, the MG pattern configured by the network device for the first set of MOs of the terminal can be any one of GP#0-GP#11, GP#24, and GP# / 25. For the MG pattern per UE, and the MG pattern corresponding to FR2, the MG pattern configured by the network device for the first set of MOs of the terminal can be any one of GP#12-GP#23.

[0163] In another possible design, the first information is used to indicate whether the terminal is allowed to switch measurement interval types. The terminal's determination of the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs based on the first information may include:

[0164] The terminal determines, based on the first information, that it is permitted to switch measurement interval types. The terminal then determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs according to a first rule. This first rule includes the following: if a first type of MO exists in the first group of MOs, then the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG; if no first type of MO exists in the first group of MOs, then the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG. Alternatively, if the terminal determines, based on the first information, that it is not permitted to switch measurement interval types, then the terminal determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs to be MG.

[0165] In this possible design, the first information used to indicate whether the terminal is allowed to switch the measurement interval type can include one of the following three design forms: First, the first information indicates that the terminal is allowed to switch the measurement interval type. If the terminal receives the first information, it determines that switching the measurement interval type is allowed based on the first information; otherwise, if the first information is not received, switching the measurement interval type is not allowed by default. Second, the first information indicates that the terminal is not allowed to switch the measurement interval type. If the terminal receives the first information, it determines that switching the measurement interval type is not allowed based on the first information; otherwise, switching the measurement interval type is allowed by default. Third, the first information indicates whether the terminal is allowed to switch the measurement interval type, that is, the content carried by the first information determines whether switching the measurement interval type is allowed. For example, the first information can carry a Boolean value "true" or "false". If the first information carries "true", it indicates that switching the measurement interval type is allowed; if the first information carries "false", it indicates that switching the measurement interval type is not allowed.

[0166] The first rule can be pre-configured to the terminal by the network device or pre-defined by the protocol and is not restricted.

[0167] In this embodiment of the application, the first type of MO may include an MO that requires MG (Measurement Interval). An MO that requires MG can refer to an MO where a data interruption occurs on the serving cell when a measurement is performed. The measurement interval type configured for the MO that requires MG is... Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, this ensures that the measurement on the MO is successfully executed.

[0168] Step 502: The terminal measures the first group of MOs according to the determined measurement interval type.

[0169] Specifically, the execution process of step 502 may include: in step 501, the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG, the terminal determines the parameters of NCSG according to the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern configured for the terminal by the network device, and determines the measurement behavior within the ML of NCSG according to the parameters of NCSG.

[0170] If the terminal determines in step 501 that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG, the terminal can directly use the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern configured by the network device for the terminal as the parameters of the MG, and determine the measurement behavior within the MGL of the MG based on the parameters of the MG.

[0171] The MG pattern can include 26 image types from GP#0 to GP#25, and the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern can include MGRP, MGL, etc. The parameters of NCSG can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes a first VIL, an ML, a second VIL, and a VIRP, etc. In this application, the first VIL can be referred to as VIL1 or the pre-VIL, and the second VIL can be referred to as VIL2 or the post-VIL. This will be used uniformly here and will not be elaborated further.

[0172] The specific execution process of the terminal determining the NCSG parameters based on the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern configured for the terminal by the network device can be referred to in step 603 below. The process of the terminal performing RRM measurement based on the NCSG parameters can be referred to in step 604 below.

[0173] Step 503: The terminal determines the data transmission behavior on the serving cell based on the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs.

[0174] In this embodiment of the application, data transmission may include uplink transmission or downlink transmission. Uplink transmission may refer to sending data from a terminal to a network device, and downlink transmission may refer to sending data from a network device to a terminal.

[0175] For example, the terminal determining the data transmission behavior on the serving cell based on the measurement interval type corresponding to the determined first set of MOs may include:

[0176] When the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs is NCSG, it is determined that data transmission on the serving cell will be interrupted within the first VIL and the second VIL of the NCSG. In downlink transmission scenarios, downlink transmission on the serving cell will occur within the ML of the NCSG or after the NCSG. In uplink transmission scenarios, whether to perform uplink transmission will be determined based on the terminal's internal implementation within a certain period after the first VIL (e.g., within n slots or symbols) and within a certain period after the second VIL. When the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs is MG, it is determined that data transmission on the serving cell will be interrupted within the MGL of the MG, and data transmission on the serving cell will continue after the MGL of the MG.

[0177] Step 504: The network device determines whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG.

[0178] The relevant description of the first group of MOs can be referred to in step 501, and will not be repeated here.

[0179] Specifically, the implementation method by which the network device determines whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs is MG or NCSG is the same as the implementation method by which the terminal determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs, and will not be elaborated further. In this way, the network device can determine the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs, avoiding data scheduling between the network device and the terminal in the VIL.

[0180] Step 505: The network device schedules data for the terminal according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs.

[0181] In this embodiment of the application, data scheduling may include uplink data scheduling or downlink data scheduling. Uplink data scheduling may refer to the network device scheduling terminal performing uplink data transmission (or simply uplink transmission), and downlink data scheduling may refer to the network device scheduling terminal performing downlink data transmission (or simply downlink transmission).

[0182] For example, the network device may perform data scheduling for the terminal based on the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs, which may include any of the following:

[0183] When the measurement interval type corresponding to the first MO is NCSG and the data scheduling is downlink data scheduling, it is determined that no data scheduling is performed on the terminal during the first VIL and the second VIL of NCSG, and data scheduling is performed on the terminal during the ML of NCSG and after NCSG ends.

[0184] When the measurement interval type corresponding to the first MO is NCSG and the data scheduling is uplink data scheduling, the network device determines that it will not perform data scheduling on the terminal within the first VIL and the second VIL of NCSG. Instead, it will perform data scheduling on the terminal after a period of time after the first VIL and after a period of time after the second VIL. For example, the network device will generate scheduling information and send the scheduling information to the terminal. This scheduling information is used to schedule the terminal to perform uplink transmission after a period of time (such as n slots or symbols) after the first VIL and after a period of time (such as n slots or symbols) after the second VIL.

[0185] It should be noted that the duration of the period after the first VIL and the duration after the second VIL can be the same or different. For example, the duration after the first VIL can both be n slots or symbols, or it can be designed as n slots or symbols after the first VIL and m slots or symbols after the second VIL, where n and m are different.

[0186] When the measurement interval type corresponding to the first MO is MG, the network device determines that no data scheduling will be performed on the terminal within the MGL of MG, but the terminal will be scheduled to perform data transmission (uplink or downlink) after the MGL of MG.

[0187] It should be noted that this application is not limited to the execution order of steps 504-505. Steps 504-505 can be executed before step 501, simultaneously with step 501, or between step 501 and step 502, without restriction. Furthermore, this application does not restrict the execution order of steps 502 and 503; they can be executed simultaneously or sequentially, without restriction.

[0188] It should be noted that the measurement described in the embodiments of this application may refer to RRM and other measurements. In addition to performing RRM measurement on MO within the ML of NCSG, the terminal may also perform other measurements within the ML of NCSG, such as performing L1 measurement of the terminal's serving cell or other measurements that can be based on NCSG within the ML of NCSG, thereby improving resource utilization and avoiding the impact of NCSG-based measurements on L1 measurements and other measurements.

[0189] based on Figure 5The method described above determines the measurement interval type for a group of MOs, determines the NCSG parameters based on the determined measurement interval type, and performs RRM measurements. It eliminates the need to assign an NCSG pattern to each MO requiring NCSG within the group; instead, it associates them with the same MG pattern and determines the NCSG parameters based on this MG pattern. This reduces the complexity of measurement interval configuration and enables switching between MG and NCSG. Furthermore, it standardizes the measurement behavior within the NCSG's ML, allowing for the measurement of two or more MOs within the NCSG's ML, thus achieving rapid measurement.

[0190] The following is combined Figure 6 The attached diagram provides a detailed explanation of the process shown in Figure 5.

[0191] Figure 6 Another measurement method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, it may include:

[0192] Step 601: The network device configures the MG pattern for the first group of MOs and sends the first information to the terminal.

[0193] The descriptions of the MG pattern, the first set of MOs, and the first information can be found in step 501. The method of configuring the MG pattern for the network device can also be found in step 501, and will not be repeated here.

[0194] It should be understood that, depending on the design form of the first information, the network device can configure the MG pattern for the terminal and send the first information to the terminal simultaneously or sequentially, without restriction.

[0195] Step 602: The terminal determines the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs based on the first information. If the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG based on the first information, then steps 603-605 are executed. If the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG based on the first information, then the MOs in the first group of MOs that require MG and the MOs that require NCSG are measured within the MG. That is, the MOs that require NCSG are only measured within the MG, and the data transmission on the serving cell is interrupted within the MGL of the MG.

[0196] The relevant description of the first group of MOs can be referred to in step 501, and will not be repeated here.

[0197] For example, the process of the terminal determining the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs based on the first information can refer to the description in step 501. For instance, the measurement interval type can be determined according to the indication of the first information, or the measurement interval type can be determined according to the first rule under the indication of the first information. The specific execution process can be referred to the above, and will not be repeated here.

[0198] Step 603: The terminal determines the parameters of NCSG based on the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern.

[0199] For example, the terminal may determine the parameters of NCSG based on the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern configured for the terminal by the network device, including: the terminal using the MGRP corresponding to the MG pattern as the VIRP of NCSG, that is, the duration value of the VIRP of NCSG is the same as the duration value of the MGRP corresponding to the MG pattern; the terminal using the duration of the VIRP of NCSG after removing the first VIL and the second VIL of NCSG as the ML of NCSG.

[0200] For example, with Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, suppose Figure 1 The MG shown includes the RF adjustment time before measurement (part 1), the measurement time (part 2), and the RF adjustment time after measurement (part 3). The terminal can assume that the duration of part 1 is equal to the first VIL. Figure 1 The duration of part 3 in the MG shown is equal to the second VIL, and the terminal can... Figure 1 MGRP in Figure 2 VIRP in Figure 1 The part 2 portion after removing part 1 and part 3 in the MGL shown is used as the ML of NCSG.

[0201] In one possible design, regardless of whether it's an uplink or downlink data scheduling scenario, the duration of the first VIL and the second VIL can be set equal to the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern configured by the network device for the terminal. This allows for extending the uplink data transmission interruption duration within the first and second VILs by defining the terminal's uplink transmission behavior for a period after the first and second VILs. In another possible design, under uplink data scheduling, the duration of the first and second VILs can be set greater than the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern configured by the network device for the terminal. This also extends the uplink data transmission interruption duration within the first and second VILs. In another possible design, under uplink data scheduling, the first VIL can be set to a duration greater than the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern configured by the network device for the terminal, while the duration of the second VIL is set to be equal to the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern. This can extend the interruption duration of uplink data transmission within the first VIL. The interruption duration of uplink data transmission within the second VIL can be extended by defining the uplink transmission behavior of the terminal within a certain period after the second VIL or NCSG.

[0202] It should be noted that, in uplink data scheduling scenarios, whether uplink transmission occurs within a certain period after the first VIL and the second VIL can be determined based on the terminal's internal implementation. The terminal may wish to extend the uplink data transmission interruption duration after turning the RF corresponding to the MO on / off. This could be because the uplink transmission timing is ahead of the downlink measurement timing, so the actual time the terminal transmits uplink data may overlap with the time when the RF corresponding to turning on or adjusting the MO causes an interruption.

[0203] The VIL corresponding to the MG pattern can be predefined as needed. For MG patterns per UE, or MG patterns per FR and corresponding to the first FR (e.g., FR1), the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern can be set to 0.5ms; for MG patterns per FR and corresponding to the second FR (e.g., FR2), the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern can be set to 0.25ms.

[0204] For example, taking FR1 as the first FR. Assuming the MG pattern per UE, or the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern per FR and FR1 is set to 0.5ms, then for downlink data scheduling, the time of 0.5ms starting from the beginning position of the MGL of the MG pattern in the NCSG is the first VIL (or VIL1 or pre-VIL), and the last 0.5ms in the MGL of the MG pattern is the second VIL (or VIL2 or post-VIL). Data interruption occurs on the serving cell during the time of the first 0.5ms and the last 0.5ms. In uplink data scheduling scenarios, if the duration of the first VIL is greater than the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern, and the duration of the second VIL is equal to the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern, then the duration of the first VIL is the 0.5ms time segment starting from the beginning of the NCSG plus the subsequent x slots (e.g., 1 or 2 slots). The last 0.5ms of the NCSG is the second VIL. Data interruption occurs on the serving cell during this first 0.5ms + x slots and last 0.5ms period. Furthermore, it can be defined whether the terminal performs uplink transmission during the duration of the second VIL or the x slots after the NCSG, determined by the UE. It should be understood that the number of x slots can be set as needed and is not limited.

[0205] For example, taking FR2 as the second FR, assuming that the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern for FR2 is set to 0.25ms, then for downlink data scheduling, the first VIL (or VIL1 or pre-VIL) is a 0.25ms time period starting from the beginning of the NCSG, and the second VIL (or VIL2 or post-VIL) is the last 0.25ms time period in the NCSG. Data interruption occurs on the serving cell during these first and last 0.25ms. For uplink data scheduling, if the duration of the first VIL is greater than the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern, the duration of the second VIL is equal to the duration of the MG pattern. The duration of the VIL corresponding to the pattern is defined as follows: The first VIL consists of a 0.25ms period starting from the beginning of the NCSG and the subsequent y slots (e.g., 1 or 2 slots). The second VIL consists of the last 0.25ms slot in the NCSG. Data interruption occurs on the serving cell during this first 0.25ms + y slots and last 0.25ms period. Furthermore, the UE can define whether the terminal performs uplink transmission during the second VIL duration or in the y slots following the NCSG. It should be understood that the number of y slots can be set as needed and is not limited.

[0206] Step 604: The terminal determines the measurement behavior within the ML of the NCSG based on the parameters of the NCSG.

[0207] For example, the measurement behavior within NCSG's ML can include the following two types of measurement behavior:

[0208] The first measurement behavior: If the terminal supports the measurement of Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG, then the terminal measures both Type 2 and Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG; the measurement behavior of the terminal when measuring Type 2 and Type 3 MOs is the same as the measurement behavior of the terminal outside the MGL of the MG. Thus, when the terminal supports the measurement of Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG, RRM measurements can be performed on two or more MOs, achieving faster measurement.

[0209] For the first type of measurement behavior, when defining the measurement requirements for Type II and Type III MOs, it is assumed that the measurement resources within the ML of the NCSG are available to Type III MOs, but the measurement opportunities within the ML of the NCSG are shared between Type II and Type III MOs. Specifically, the sharing of measurement opportunities between Type II and Type III MOs can be achieved through a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) outside the MG.

[0210] The second measurement behavior: If the terminal does not support the measurement of Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG, then the terminal only measures Type 2 MOs within the ML of the NCSG, and does not measure Type 3 MOs. The measurement behavior of the terminal when measuring Type 2 MOs is the same as the measurement behavior of the terminal within the MGL of the MG, and the measurement behavior of Type 3 MOs is the same as the measurement behavior of the terminal outside the MGL of the MG. In this way, even if the terminal does not support the measurement of Type 3 MOs within the ML of the NCSG, the measurement behavior within the existing MGL can be reused, simplifying the system design and achieving measurement behavior compatibility.

[0211] For the second type of measurement behavior, when defining the measurement requirements of Type II and Type III MOs, it is assumed that the measurement resources within the NCSG's ML are unavailable to Type III MOs. Type II MOs share measurement opportunities within the NCSG's ML, for example, through the CSSF factor within the MG. Type III MOs share measurement opportunities outside the NCSG's ML, for example, through the CSSF factor outside the MG.

[0212] Whether the terminal supports Type 3 MO measurement within the ML of the NCSG can be predefined / default in the protocol, indicating whether the terminal supports it or not. Alternatively, whether the terminal supports Type 3 MO measurement within the ML of the NCSG is one of the terminal's capability information. The terminal can report this capability information to the network device, such as by sending third information to the network device. This third information indicates whether the terminal supports Type 3 MO measurement within the ML of the NCSG, so that the network device can determine the terminal's measurement latency based on the third information. For example, the network device can estimate the terminal's measurement latency based on the third information and adjust the MO or MG configuration according to its own needs for measurement latency.

[0213] In this embodiment, the measurement behavior of the terminal within the MGL of the MG may include the terminal performing RRM measurements on the MO, and the data transmission (such as uplink or downlink data transmission) on the serving cell of the terminal being interrupted. The measurement behavior of the terminal outside the MGL of the MG may include: data transmission between the terminal and the network device on the serving cell, and the terminal performing RRM measurements on two or more MOs.

[0214] In this application, the second type of MO may include MOs that require NCSG, and data interruption occurs on the serving cell only when the radio chain corresponding to the second type of MO is turned on and / or off. However, when the second type of MO is measured in ML, data transmission on the serving cell is not affected. The second type of MO can only be measured in MG and NCSG.

[0215] In this application, the third type of MO can include MOs that do not require MG and NCSG, that is, MOs that do not require either MG or NCSG. Alternatively, it can be described as the third type of MO including MOs that require no-gap measurement. Measurement of the third type of MO will not cause data interruption in the serving cell. There is no measurement interval when measuring a MO that requires no-gap measurement, and the measurement process of a MO that requires no-gap measurement will not affect data transmission on the serving cell, and data on the serving cell will not be interrupted. Optionally, MOs that require no-gap measurement are not measured within the MGL, but rather it is determined whether they can be measured within the ML of the NCSG according to the determination method described in step 604.

[0216] For example, taking the UE as the terminal, the UE currently has two serving cells, located on frequency points f1 and f2 respectively, and four measurement targets (MOs), located on frequency points f1, f2, f3, and f4 respectively. Through UE capability reporting or predefined rules, the network device can determine which of {MG, NCSG, no-gap} the UE needs for each MO measurement and notify the UE of the result. Assume that of these four MOs, f1, f2, and f3 require NCSG, while f4 requires no-gap. If the UE supports measuring Type 3 MOs within the NCSG's ML, then the UE can simultaneously measure f1, f2, f3, and f4 within the NCSG's ML; however, if the UE does not support measuring Type 3 MOs within the NCSG's ML, then the UE will only measure f1, f2, and f3 within the NCSG's ML, and will not measure f4.

[0217] Step 605: The terminal determines the data transmission behavior on the serving cell based on the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs.

[0218] In the case of downlink transmission, the execution process of step 605 can refer to the description in step 503. For example, the terminal determines to interrupt downlink transmission on the serving cell within the first VIL and the second VIL of the NCSG, and to perform downlink transmission on the serving cell within the ML of the NCSG or after the NCSG.

[0219] In the case of uplink data transmission, the execution process of step 605 may include: interrupting downlink transmission on the serving cell within the first and second VILs of the NCSG. Whether uplink transmission on the serving cell is performed within the ML of the NCSG or after the NCSG depends on the internal implementation of the terminal, for example:

[0220] When the duration of the first VIL and the second VIL are equal to the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern, whether the terminal performs uplink transmission after the first VIL of the NCSG (e.g., within n slots or symbols after the first VIL) is determined by the terminal itself. Similarly, whether the terminal performs uplink transmission after the second VIL of the NCSG (e.g., within n slots or symbols after the second VIL) is determined by the terminal itself. This behavior of the terminal is similar to the uplink transmission behavior of the terminal within a certain number of slots or symbols after the MG (i.e., deciding whether to perform uplink transmission). In other words, in the uplink data scheduling scenario, whether the terminal performs uplink transmission after the first VIL, the second VIL, or a certain period after the MG depends on the terminal's internal implementation. For example, even if the network device schedules the terminal device to perform uplink transmission within the specified period, if the terminal decides to send uplink data, it will send it; if the terminal decides not to send uplink data, it will not send it.

[0221] When the duration of the first VIL is greater than the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern, and the duration of the second VIL is equal to the duration of the VIL corresponding to the MG pattern, the terminal decides whether to perform uplink transmission after the second VIL of the NCSG (such as within several slots or symbols after the second VIL). This behavior of the terminal is similar to the uplink transmission behavior of the terminal within several slots or symbols after the MG (i.e., deciding whether to perform uplink transmission). In other words, in the uplink data scheduling scenario, whether the terminal performs uplink transmission after the second VIL depends on the internal implementation of the terminal.

[0222] In this way, the uplink transmission behavior of the terminal in the uplink data scheduling scenario can be reused, simplifying system design and achieving compatibility, and improving the terminal's autonomy in uplink transmission.

[0223] In this embodiment, "after the second VIL" can be replaced by "after the NCSG". Furthermore, the value of n in this application is not limited; n can be an integer greater than or equal to 0, and can be predefined in the protocol or determined based on the terminal's communication parameters. The number and / or duration of the n time units after the first VIL and the n time units after the second VIL can be the same or different, and are not limited. The time units described in this application may include, but are not limited to, slots, symbols, etc.

[0224] Step 606: The network device determines whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG. If the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is NCSG, the parameters of NCSG are determined according to the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern, and data scheduling is performed on the terminal according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs.

[0225] Further optional; if the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG, then the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern are used as the parameters of MG. At the same time, the terminal is not scheduled within the MGL of MG, but data scheduling of the terminal is performed after the MGL of MG.

[0226] The description of the first group of MOs can be found above. The process by which the network device determines whether the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs is MG or NCSG can be found in step 504. The process by which the network device determines the parameters of NCSG based on the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern can be found above in the process by which the terminal determines the parameters of NCSG based on the parameters corresponding to the MG pattern. These details will not be repeated here.

[0227] The execution process of the network device scheduling data for the terminal according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs can be referred to in step 505. For example, on the network device side, since the uplink transmission behavior for a period of time after the first VIL and the second VIL depends on the internal implementation of the terminal, in order to reduce the power consumption of the network device, no scheduling can be performed for a period of time after the first VIL and the second VIL. However, after the period of time after the first VIL and the second VIL, the network device can schedule the normal transmission of uplink data. For example, when the data scheduling is uplink data scheduling, the network device generates scheduling information and sends the scheduling information to the terminal. The scheduling information can be used to schedule the terminal to perform uplink transmission after the n slots or symbols after the first VIL, and to schedule the terminal to perform uplink transmission after the n slots or symbols after the second VIL.

[0228] In this way, network devices can schedule uplink transmissions by terminals after n slots or symbols following the first VIL without affecting the uplink transmission of terminals. At the same time, this avoids situations where network devices schedule uplink transmissions by terminals within n time slots or symbols following the first VIL, but the terminals do not perform uplink transmissions during this period due to internal implementation, leading to uplink transmission scheduling failures and causing power consumption and resource waste for network devices.

[0229] It should be noted that this application is not limited to the execution order of step 606. Step 606 can be executed before step 601, or simultaneously with step 601, step 602, or step 603, or between step 602 and step 603, without any restriction.

[0230] It should be noted that the measurements described in the embodiments of this application may include, but are not limited to, RRM measurements. In addition to performing RRM measurements on MO within the ML of NCSG, the terminal may also perform other measurements within the ML of NCSG, such as performing L1 measurements of the terminal's serving cell and other measurements within the ML of NCSG, thereby improving resource utilization and avoiding the impact on L1 measurements and other measurements.

[0231] based on Figure 6 The method described simplifies the signaling design of the NCSG configuration by reusing a single MG pattern between the MG and NCSG, enabling the terminal to reuse existing MG measurement behaviors and achieve rapid switching between the MG and NCSG. Simultaneously, depending on whether the terminal supports measuring MOs that do not require MGs within the ML of the NCSG, the terminal can measure or not measure other MOs that do not require MGs during the ML time of the NCSG. This differentiates between different terminal implementations, allowing terminals that can support simultaneous measurement of two types of MOs to achieve faster measurements, while terminals that cannot support simultaneous measurement of two types of MOs can reuse existing implementations, simplifying system design and achieving compatibility.

[0232] In addition to the measurement behaviors within or outside the NCSG designed in the above method embodiments, for the MO to be measured (such as the first group of MOs mentioned above), the embodiments of this application also provide the following measurement behaviors:

[0233] In one possible design, the MOs included in the first group correspond to the first measurement behavior, meaning that all MOs included in the first group correspond to the same measurement behavior. The MOs included in the first group can be measured within or outside the NCSG. This means that the terminal will not treat the NCSG as a special measurement opportunity for measuring some MOs, nor will it treat the NCSG as an unavailable measurement opportunity.

[0234] In this possible design, the first group of MOs may include a third type of MO, as described above, which may include MOs that do not require MG and NCSG. For example, if the first group of MOs may only include the third type of MOs, all MOs included in the third type of MOs may be measured using the first measurement behavior.

[0235] In this possible design, the first group of MOs may include a second type of MO and a third type of MO. As mentioned above, the second type of MO may include MOs that require NCSG, and the third type of MO may include MOs that do not require MG or NCSG. In this case, if the terminal supports measuring the second type of MO and the third type of MO within the NCSG, then both the second type of MO and the third type of MO included in the first group of MOs can be applied to the first measurement behavior, and the measurement can be performed inside or outside the NCSG using the first measurement behavior.

[0236] If the first group of MOs includes a third type of MO, and if the third type of MO includes a deactivated MO, then the terminal determines that the measurement interrupt for the deactivated MO is provided within the VIL of the NCSG. That is, the RF corresponding to the MO can be turned on or off within the VIL of the NCSG. In this case, the terminal is not allowed to generate additional interrupts for the measurement of the deactivated MO. The terminal device is allowed to save the terminal's power consumption by turning the RF on and off, and the location of the interrupt generated by the terminal device due to the switching of the RF is controlled by the VIL, thereby improving resource utilization.

[0237] In this embodiment, the first measurement behavior may include one or more of the following: (1) The scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO is obtained according to a first calculation method, which is the calculation method used when measuring outside the MG. In this way, all MOs included in the first group of MOs can share the same measurement resources. In addition, since the terminal device can measure two MOs at the same time in the first calculation method, the measurement delay can be reduced. (2) The scaling factor Kp of L3 measurement is 1, that is, NCSG will not reduce the measurement opportunities of L3 measurement, ensuring the normal performance of L3 measurement. (3) The scaling factor Klayer1 of L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of all L1 measurement reference signals inside and outside NCSG. (4) The calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF when NCSG overlaps with the synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) measurement timing configuration (SMTC) is the same as the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF when NCSG and SMTC do not overlap.

[0238] In this embodiment, when determining the scaling factor Klayer1 corresponding to a certain MO, the terminal device determines whether there is a temporal overlap between the L1 measurement and the measurement of the MO, that is, whether the reference signal of the MO measurement overlaps temporally with the L1 measurement reference signals inside and outside the NCSG of one or more serving cells. If the L1 measurement exists, the terminal device determines whether the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share measurement opportunities, that is, whether the MO measurement and the L1 measurement can use different receive beams. For example, if the MO measurement and the L1 measurement are in the same frequency band, it is determined that the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share measurement activation, and the scaling factor Klayer1 > 1. If the MO measurement and the L1 measurement are in different frequency bands and the UE supports using independent receive beams on the two frequency bands, it is determined that the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share measurement activation, and the scaling factor Klayer1 = 1.

[0239] In this embodiment, the overlap between NCSG and SMTC can mean that SMTC falls within NCSG or belongs to NCSG. For example, the start time of SMTC is later than the start time of NCSG, and the end time of SMTC is earlier than the end time of NCSG. The non-overlap between NCSG and SMTC can mean that SMTC is entirely outside NCSG or that part of SMTC is outside NCSG, etc., and is not limited.

[0240] In another possible design, some MOs in the first group can be measured within the NCSG, while others can be measured outside the NCSG. The measurement behavior corresponding to the MOs measured within the NCSG differs from that corresponding to the MOs measured outside the NCSG. For example, the first part of the first MO corresponds to the second measurement behavior, and the second part of the MO corresponds to the third measurement behavior; the second and third measurement behaviors are different.

[0241] In this possible design, the terminal device treats the NCSG as a special measurement opportunity during measurement for the MO portion.

[0242] In this possible design, the first group of MOs can include both type II and type III MOs. If the terminal does not support measuring type II and type III MOs within the NCSG, the first group of MOs can include type II MOs, meaning type II MOs are measured within the NCSG, corresponding to the second measurement behavior. The second group of MOs can include type III MOs, meaning type III MOs can be measured outside the NCSG, corresponding to the third measurement behavior.

[0243] It should be noted that if the third type of MO includes a deactivated MO, since the VIL within the NCSG cannot provide a measurement interrupt for the deactivated MO, the terminal can determine to provide an additional measurement interrupt for the deactivated MO. That is, the terminal is allowed to generate an additional interrupt for the measurement of the deactivated MO, ensuring the opening / closing of the RF channel corresponding to the deactivated MO and ensuring the normal measurement of the deactivated MO.

[0244] In this possible design, the first group of MOs may only include the third type of MOs. If the third type of MOs includes deactivation MOs, the first group of MOs may include the deactivation MOs from the third type of MOs, meaning the deactivation MOs can be measured within the NCSG, corresponding to the second measurement behavior. The terminal can provide a measurement interrupt for the deactivation MOs within the VIL of the NCSG. The deactivation MOs do not generate additional measurement interrupts, and the terminal is not allowed to generate additional interrupts for measuring the deactivation MOs. The second group of MOs may include other MOs from the third type of MOs besides the activation MOs, meaning the other MOs from the third type of MOs besides the activation MOs can be measured outside the NCSG, corresponding to the third measurement behavior.

[0245] In this possible design, the first group of MOs may include both Type II and Type III MOs. If the terminal supports measuring both Type II and Type III MOs within the NCSG, the first group of MOs may include Type II MOs, meaning Type II MOs are measured within the NCSG, corresponding to the second measurement behavior. Whether Type III MOs can be included in the first group of MOs for measurement within the NCSG, or whether the deactivation MOs included in Type III MOs can be included in the first group of MOs for measurement within the NCSG, can be determined based on network configuration or preset rules. The measurement behavior of Type III MOs and the deactivation MOs included in Type III MOs is described below:

[0246] In one implementation, the terminal measures only the second type MO within the NCSG and the third type MO outside the NCSG. If the third type MO contains a deactivation secondary carrier (SCC), since the VIL within the NCSG cannot provide a measurement interrupt for the deactivation MO, the terminal is allowed to generate an additional interrupt for the measurement of the deactivation SCC. That is, the terminal can determine to provide an additional measurement interrupt for the deactivation MO, ensuring the opening / closing of the RF channel corresponding to the deactivation MO and the normal measurement of the deactivation MO.

[0247] In another implementation, the terminal measures the second type of MO and the deactivation SCC within the NCSG, and measures the other MOs of the third type of MO excluding the active MO outside the NCSG, corresponding to the third measurement behavior. The terminal can provide a measurement interrupt for the deactivation MO within the VIL within the NCSG, but is not allowed to generate additional interrupts for the measurement of the deactivation SCC.

[0248] In this embodiment of the application, the second measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: (1) The scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO in the NCSG is obtained according to the second calculation method, which is the calculation method used when measuring in the MG. (2) The scaling factor Klayer1 of L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal in the NCSG.

[0249] In this embodiment, when determining the scaling factor Klayer1 corresponding to a certain MO, the terminal device determines whether there is a temporal overlap between the L1 measurement and the measurement of the MO, that is, whether the reference signal of the MO measurement overlaps temporally with the L1 measurement reference signal in the NCSG of one or more serving cells. If the L1 measurement exists, the terminal device determines whether the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share a measurement opportunity, that is, whether the MO measurement and the L1 measurement can use different receive beams. For example, if the MO measurement and the L1 measurement are in the same frequency band, it is determined that the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share a measurement activation, and the scaling factor Klayer1 > 1. If the MO measurement and the L1 measurement are in different frequency bands and the UE supports using independent receive beams on the two frequency bands, it is determined that the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share a measurement activation, and the scaling factor Klayer1 = 1.

[0250] In this embodiment, the third measurement behavior includes one or more of the following: (1) When the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor CSSF corresponding to each MO outside the NCSG is determined according to the calculation method used when measuring outside the MG. (2) When the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor Kp of the L3 measurement is greater than 1. (3) When the NCSG and SMTC do not overlap, the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal outside the NCSG. (4) When the NCSG and SMTC overlap, the calculation method used to calculate the scaling factor CSSF is the calculation method within the MG, and the scaling factor Klayer1 of the L1 measurement is determined according to the measurement period of the L1 measurement reference signal within the NCSG.

[0251] In this embodiment, when determining the scaling factor Klayer1 corresponding to a certain MO, the terminal device determines whether there is a temporal overlap between the L1 measurement and the measurement of the MO, that is, whether the reference signal of the MO measurement overlaps temporally with the L1 measurement reference signals inside and outside the NCSG of one or more serving cells. If the L1 measurement exists, the terminal device determines whether the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share measurement opportunities, that is, whether the MO measurement and the L1 measurement can use different receive beams. For example, if the MO measurement and the L1 measurement are in the same frequency band, it is determined that the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share measurement activation, and the scaling factor Klayer1 > 1. If the MO measurement and the L1 measurement are in different frequency bands and the UE supports using independent receive beams on the two frequency bands, it is determined that the MO measurement and the L1 measurement need to share measurement activation, and the scaling factor Klayer1 = 1.

[0252] The above scheme can apply a uniform measurement behavior to all MOs under test, or divide the MOs under test into two types: in-NCSG measurement and out-of-NCSG measurement, ensuring measurement flexibility. At the same time, it clarifies the interruption requirements for terminal measurement to deactivate MOs, providing a feasible solution for the terminal to decide whether to provide measurement interruption for deactivating MOs.

[0253] In one possible implementation, the first set of MOs in the above embodiments includes deactivation SCC. If the terminal determines that the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs is NCSG, the terminal can measure the deactivation SCC using the following method. The terminal can determine the measurement interval type corresponding to the first set of MOs based on the first information in the above embodiments.

[0254] In one possible design, step 502 includes: the terminal determining the measurement behavior for the deactivated SCC based on the parameters of the NCSG and the attribute information of the deactivated SCC; or, the terminal determining the measurement behavior for the deactivated SCC based on the attribute information of the deactivated SCC. Specifically, please refer to the descriptions in cases (1) and (2) below.

[0255] In case (1), the terminal determines the measurement behavior for deactivating the SCC based on the parameters of the NCSG and the attribute information of the deactivating SCC.

[0256] The parameters of NCSG include ML and VIRP. The attribute information for deactivating SCC includes the SMTC for deactivating SCC.

[0257] One possible implementation is that if the NCSG and the SMTC for deactivating the SCC completely or partially overlap, the terminal measures the deactivating SCC within the NCSG; or, if the NCSG and the SMTC for deactivating the SCC do not overlap, the terminal measures the deactivating SCC outside the NCSG.

[0258] In this embodiment, complete overlap between the NCSG and the SMTCs of the deactivated SCC can mean that all SMTCs of the deactivated SCC fall within the ML of the NCSG. Specifically, in the time domain, the SMTCs of the deactivated SCC can correspond to at least one first time period, and the ML can include at least one second time period, where any one of the at least one first time period is included in a second time period. Taking two first time periods and two second time periods as an example, if the first first time period is from 10ms to 13ms, the second first time period is from 30ms to 33ms, the first second time period is from 10ms to 15ms, and the second second time period is from 30ms to 35ms, then the NCSG and the SMTCs of the deactivated SCC completely overlap. Alternatively, if the first first time period is from 10ms to 15ms, the second first time period is from 30ms to 35ms, the first second time period is from 10ms to 15ms, and the second second time period is from 30ms to 35ms, then the NCSG and the SMTCs of the deactivated SCC completely overlap.

[0259] In this embodiment, the partial overlap between the NCSG and the SMTC of the deactivation SCC can mean that a portion of the SMTC of the deactivation SCC falls within the ML of the NCSG. Specifically, in the time domain, the SMTC of the deactivation SCC can correspond to multiple first time periods, and the ML can include at least one second time period, with a portion of the first time periods included in one second time period. It is understood that when the NCSG and the SMTC of the deactivation SCC partially overlap, the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG that overlaps with the SMTC of the deactivation SCC. Taking two first time periods and two second time periods as an example, if the first first time period is from 10ms to 13ms, the second first time period is from 30ms to 33ms, the first second time period is from 10ms to 15ms, and the second second time period is from 50ms to 55ms, then the NCSG and the SMTC of the deactivation SCC partially overlap. The terminal can measure the deactivation SCC within the first first time period but not within the second first time period.

[0260] In this embodiment, the non-overlapping of the SMTCs of the NCSG and the deactivation SCC can mean that all SMTCs of the deactivation SCC do not fall within the ML of the NCSG. Specifically, in the time domain, the SMTCs of the deactivation SCC can correspond to at least one first time period, and the ML can include at least one second time period, where none of the at least one first time period is included in a second time period. Taking two first time periods and two second time periods as an example, if the first first time period is from 8ms to 13ms, the second first time period is from 28ms to 33ms, the first second time period is from 10ms to 15ms, and the second second time period is from 30ms to 35ms, then the NCSG and the SMTCs of the deactivation SCC do not overlap. Alternatively, if the first first time period is from 5ms to 8ms, the second first time period is from 25ms to 28ms, the first second time period is from 10ms to 15ms, and the second second time period is from 30ms to 35ms, then the NCSG and the SMTCs of the deactivation SCC do not overlap.

[0261] In this embodiment, measurement within the NCSG can be understood as measurement within the ML (Meaning Module) of the NCSG. Measurement outside the NCSG can be understood as measurement during time periods other than ML and VIL (Virtual Interval). That is, for any VIRP (Virtual Interval Point), measurement within the NCSG can be measurement within the ML of the VIRP, and measurement outside the NCSG can be measurement during time periods other than ML and VIL within the VIRP. Figure 2 Taking the VIRP shown as an example, measurements within the NCSG are taken within the ML phase of the VIRP, while measurements outside the NCSG are taken at times other than the ML phase, the first VIL, and the second VIL within the VIRP.

[0262] Understandably, in case (1), the network device can control the terminal's measurement behavior (such as measuring within the NCSG or outside the NCSG) by controlling the overlap between the NCSG and the SMTC for deactivating the SCC. This allows the network device to configure the NCSG without completely covering the SMTC for deactivating the SCC, making the configuration more flexible and convenient.

[0263] In case (2), the terminal determines the measurement behavior for the deactivated SCC based on the attribute information of the deactivated SCC.

[0264] The attribute information for deactivating the SCC includes the measurement period. This measurement period is the measurement period of the SCell corresponding to the deactivated SCC, and can be represented as MeasCycleSCell. The measurement period can be configured by the network device via RRC signaling.

[0265] One possible implementation is that if the measurement period is greater than or equal to a first value, the terminal measures to deactivate the SCC within the NCSG; or, if the measurement period is less than the first value, the terminal measures to deactivate the SCC outside the NCSG.

[0266] The first value can be configured in the network device or defined in the protocol. As an example, the first value is 640ms.

[0267] One possible design allows for interruptions in SCC deactivation measurements when the measurement period is greater than or equal to a first value. In this embodiment, an interruption in SCC deactivation measurements can be understood as the measurement of SCC deactivation potentially affecting measurements or data transmission in other serving cells when the measurement period is greater than or equal to the first value. In other words, it could cause interruptions in measurements or data transmission in other serving cells, or prevent other serving cells from performing measurements or transmitting data. In this case, the NCSG and the SMTC of SCC deactivation can be configured to completely or partially overlap. This allows the terminal to include interruptions caused by SCC deactivation measurements within the VIL. For example, the terminal can enable or disable the RF chain corresponding to SCC deactivation within the VIL, thus avoiding the introduction of additional interruptions.

[0268] One possible design is that, when the measurement period is less than a first value, the measurement of the deactivated SCC should not be interrupted. In this embodiment, not interrupting the measurement of the deactivated SCC can be understood as the measurement of the deactivated SCC not affecting the measurement or data transmission of other serving cells, or in other words, it will not interrupt the measurement or data transmission of other serving cells, or other serving cells can perform measurement or data transmission. In this case, the terminal can measure the deactivated SCC outside the NCSG. When configuring the NCSG, the network device does not need to ensure that the NCSG completely covers the SMTC of the deactivated SCC, thus enabling measurement within the NCSG, which is more flexible and convenient to configure.

[0269] For either scenario (1) or (2) above, if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG, the deactivation SCC is included in the CSSF measured within the NCSG; or, if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC outside the NCSG, the deactivation SCC is included in the CSSF measured outside the NCSG. The CSSF measured within the NCSG can indicate the number of frequency points measured within the NCSG. The CSSF measured outside the NCSG can indicate the number of frequency points measured outside the NCSG.

[0270] The calculation of deactivation SCC within the CSSF measured within the NCSG can be understood as follows: deactivation SCC is included within the CSSF measured within the NCSG, or deactivation SCC is included in the calculation of the CSSF measured within the NCSG, or deactivation SCC is considered when calculating the CSSF measured within the NCSG. Similarly, the calculation of deactivation SCC within the CSSF measured outside the NCSG can be understood as follows: deactivation SCC is included within the CSSF measured outside the NCSG, or deactivation SCC is included in the calculation of the CSSF measured outside the NCSG, or deactivation SCC is considered when calculating the CSSF measured outside the NCSG.

[0271] In one possible implementation, for either case (1) or (2) above, if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG, the measurement of the deactivation SCC does not generate an interruption. It is understood that when the terminal measures the deactivation SCC within the NCSG, the interruption caused by the measurement of the deactivation SCC can be included within the VIL. For example, the terminal may enable or disable the RF chain corresponding to the deactivation SCC within the VIL; therefore, the measurement of the deactivation SCC does not generate an interruption.

[0272] In another possible implementation, for the above case (1) or case (2), if the terminal measures the deactivation SCC in the NCSG, the measurement of the deactivation SCC will not cause an interruption to the active cell in a frequency band different from the frequency band where the deactivation SCC is located, but will cause an interruption to the active cell in the same frequency band as the frequency band where the deactivation SCC is located.

[0273] In this context, an active cell in a frequency band different from the frequency band where the deactivated SCC is located (hereinafter referred to as a different-band active cell) can be understood as an active cell located in a frequency band different from the frequency band where the deactivated SCC is located. In this case, the terminal can include the interruption caused by the measurement of the deactivated SCC within the VIL. For example, the terminal can enable or disable the RF chain corresponding to the deactivated SCC within the VIL; therefore, the measurement of the deactivated SCC will not cause an interruption. An active cell in the same frequency band as the deactivated SCC (hereinafter referred to as a co-band active cell) can be understood as an active cell located in the same frequency band as the deactivated SCC. In this case, in addition to enabling or disabling the RF chain affecting the co-band active cell, other factors may also affect it. For example, the period during which the terminal adjusts the power after enabling the RF chain will also affect the co-band active cell. If the power adjustment period is not included in the VIL, it will cause an interruption to the co-band active cell.

[0274] In case (1) above, because the terminal will generate an interrupt when it turns on or off the RF chain corresponding to the deactivation SCC, the terminal's measurement of the deactivation SCC outside the NCSG may interrupt the measurement of the deactivation SCC. In case (2) above, because the measurement of the deactivation SCC is not allowed to be interrupted when the measurement period is less than the first value, for example, the terminal can keep the RF chain corresponding to the deactivation SCC on indefinitely, the terminal's measurement of the deactivation SCC outside the NCSG will not interrupt the measurement of the deactivation SCC.

[0275] In one possible implementation, after determining the measurement behavior of any one of the MOs in the first group of MOs, the terminal can also determine the L1 measurement behavior of the first serving cell. For example, the terminal can determine the L1 measurement behavior of the first serving cell after step 502, or after step 604, or after the terminal determines the measurement behavior for deactivating the SCC. Here, the first serving cell is the terminal's serving cell. For example, the first serving cell is a serving cell with a frequency point in frequency range 2 (FR2); the L1 measurement of the first serving cell includes the terminal's Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) measurement, Beam Failure Detection (BFD) measurement, or L1-RSRP measurement of the first serving cell, etc.

[0276] One possible implementation is that if the terminal has independent beam management capability between the frequency band where the first serving cell is located and the frequency bands where all measurement target frequency points in the NCSG are located, then the terminal performs L1 measurement of the first serving cell within the NCSG; or, if the terminal does not have independent beam management capability between the frequency band where the first serving cell is located and the frequency band where any measurement target frequency point in the NCSG is located, then the terminal performs L1 measurement of the first serving cell outside the NCSG.

[0277] Specifically, if the terminal does not have independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and the frequency band of any measurement target frequency point within the NCSG, then the terminal performing L1 measurements of the first serving cell outside the NCSG can be understood as: the terminal performing L1 measurements of the first serving cell outside the NCSG, except when it has independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and the frequency bands of all measurement target frequency points within the NCSG. In other words, if the terminal does not have independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and the frequency bands of N measurement target frequency points within the NCSG, then the terminal performs L1 measurements of the first serving cell outside the NCSG. Here, N is a positive integer, and N is less than or equal to the number of all measurement target frequency points within the NCSG.

[0278] For example, taking a terminal determining that frequencies 1 to 3 are measured within the NCSG, where frequencies 1 and 2 belong to frequency band 1 and frequency 3 belongs to frequency band 2, if the terminal supports independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and frequency band 1, but does not support independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and frequency band 2, then the terminal performs L1 measurement of the first serving cell outside the NCSG. If the terminal does not support independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and frequency band 1, and does not support independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and frequency band 2, then the terminal performs L1 measurement of the first serving cell outside the NCSG. If the terminal supports independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and frequency band 1, and supports independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and frequency band 2, then the terminal performs L1 measurement of the first serving cell within the NCSG.

[0279] In this embodiment, the terminal's independent beam management capability between the two frequency bands means that the terminal can use independent receiving beams to receive information in these two frequency bands. The terminal performing L1 measurement of the first serving cell within the NCSG can be understood as the terminal performing L1 measurement of the first serving cell within the NCSG; similarly, the terminal performing L1 measurement of the first serving cell outside the NCSG can be understood as the terminal performing L1 measurement of the first serving cell outside the NCSG.

[0280] Understandably, if the terminal has independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and the frequency bands of all measurement target frequencies within the NCSG, then the terminal's measurement of the measurement target frequencies (i.e., L3 measurement of the measurement target frequencies) will not affect the L1 measurement of the first serving cell; in other words, the L1 measurement of the first serving cell is unaffected by the L3 measurement of the measurement target frequencies. Therefore, the terminal can perform L1 measurements of the first serving cell within the NCSG. If the terminal does not have independent beam management capability between the frequency band of the first serving cell and the frequency band of any measurement target frequency within the NCSG, then the terminal's L3 measurement of one or more measurement target frequencies will affect the L1 measurement of the first serving cell; in other words, the L1 measurement of the first serving cell is affected by the L3 measurement of the one or more measurement target frequencies. Therefore, the terminal cannot perform L1 measurements of the first serving cell within the NCSG, but the terminal can perform L1 measurements of the first serving cell outside the NCSG. In the above process, the L1 measurement of the first serving cell can be performed within the NCSG without being affected by the L3 measurement of the target frequency. Compared with the MG measurement method, this reduces the impact of the L3 measurement of the target frequency on the L1 measurement of the first serving cell, increases the opportunity for L1 measurement, and reduces the L1 measurement latency.

[0281] The above primarily describes the solutions provided in the embodiments of this application from the perspective of interaction between various nodes. It is understood that each node, such as a network device or terminal, includes corresponding hardware structures and / or software modules to perform the aforementioned functions.

In actual implementation, there may be other division methods.

This communication device 70 can be used to perform the functions of the terminal involved in the above-described method embodiments. As one possible implementation, Figure 7 The communication device 70 shown includes: a processing unit 701 and a transmitting unit 702.

[0284] Processing unit 701 is used to determine the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, whereby the measurement interval type includes measurement interval MG or NCSG. For example, processing unit 701 may support communication device 70 in executing steps 501 and 602.

[0285] The processing unit 701 is further configured to control the transmitting unit 702 to measure the first group of MOs according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs, and to determine the data transmission behavior on the serving cell of the terminal according to the measurement interval type corresponding to the first group of MOs.
