[0032] In order to ensure the communication performance of business data such as extended reality (eXtended reality, XR), an embodiment of the present application proposes a communication method to relax the sending and receiving restrictions corresponding to the interval mechanism, and / or relax the scheduling restrictions corresponding to the scheduling availability / restriction regulations.

[0033] Among them, XR refers to the real and virtual combined environment and human-computer interaction generated by computer technology and wearable devices. Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, XR includes Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Virtual Reality (VR), and other representative forms, as well as the intersection between them. The level of virtual world ranges from partial sensory input to fully immersive virtual reality. A key aspect of XR is the expansion of human experience, especially the experience related to presence (represented by VR) and cognitive learning (represented by AR). Figure 2 As shown, application scenarios of XR can include healthcare, education, military, emergency response, industrial manufacturing, entertainment, engineering, marketing and advertising, and retail, among others.

[0034] For VR services, the uplink direction is mainly based on the transmission of relatively dense small data packets. These small data packets can carry information such as gestures and controls, and serve as input and reference for downlink presentation data; the downlink direction is mainly based on the transmission of multimedia data such as video and audio. Through the timely reception and presentation of these multimedia data, users are provided with an immersive experience. Taking downlink video data transmission as an example, video data can be modeled as video frames based on frame rate (Frames Per Second, FPS), and the typical value of FPS is 60 or 120. These video frames arrive periodically or quasi-periodically based on the period determined by FPS (1 / FPS second), and the size of the video frame changes dynamically. In the air interface, a video frame is generally required to be successfully transmitted within 10ms, and the transmission success rate is required to be no less than 99% or even 99.9%. In addition, downlink video data generally requires a very high data rate, which can generally reach tens or even hundreds of Mbps (typical value is 30 / 45Mbps).

[0035] For AR services, in addition to the above-mentioned intensive transmission of small data packets, the uplink direction may also transmit multimedia data such as video, audio, and scene images. Its service characteristics are similar to those in the downlink direction. Usually, the data rate is relatively low, for example, at most tens of Mbps (typical value is 10 / 20Mbps), and the time limit for air interface transmission can also be relaxed. For example, a video frame is generally required to be successfully transmitted within 30ms. The downlink data transmission characteristics are basically the same as those of VR services.

[0036] From the above description, it can be seen that the data transmission of XR services has high latency requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the communication performance of XR service data by reasonably relaxing the receiving and sending restrictions corresponding to the interval mechanism and the scheduling restrictions corresponding to the scheduling availability / restriction regulations.

[0037] The following is a brief description of the gap mechanism and scheduling availability / restriction regulations.

[0038] In different communication systems, the spacing mechanism may be different. This embodiment of the application takes NR as an example to briefly explain the spacing mechanism. The spacing mechanism in NR includes:

[0039] 1) Basic Measurement Gap Configuration

[0040] If the UE requires a measurement interval to identify and measure at least one of an intra-frequency cell, an inter-frequency cell, and an inter-RAT E-UTRAN cell, where UTMS refers to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, then:

[0041] If the UE does not support independent measurement gap patterns for different frequency ranges, the network needs to provide a per-UE measurement gap pattern for concurrent monitoring of all frequency layers.

[0042] If the UE supports independent measurement gap patterns for different frequency ranges, the network needs to provide: a per Frequency Range measurement gap pattern (per-FRmeasurement gap pattern) for frequency ranges where the UE requires independent concurrent monitoring of all frequency layers of each frequency range; or a UE-level measurement gap pattern for concurrent monitoring of all frequency layers of all frequency ranges.

[0043] 2) UE behavior when measurement interval is configured

[0044] During the UE-level measurement interval, the UE's behavior includes one or more of the following:

[0045] ① For Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-New Radio (E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity), except for receiving signals for Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements and signals for random access procedures, it is not necessary to receive / send from / to the corresponding E-UTRAN PCell, E-UTRAN cell and NR serving cell for E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity;

[0046] ② For Standalone Architecture (SA) (configured with a single carrier or carrier aggregation (CA)), except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR serving cell.

[0047] ③ For NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and for random access procedures, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding PCell, Scell ​​and E-UTRAN serving cell.

[0048] ④For NR Dual Connectivity (NR-DC), except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR serving cell for NR-DC.

[0049] During the FR level measurement interval, the UE's behavior includes one or more of the following:

[0050] ① For E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement and signals for random access procedures, there is no need to receive / transmit from / to the corresponding E-UTRAN PCell, E-UTRAN cell and NR serving cell within the corresponding frequency range of E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity.

[0051] ② For SA (configured with single carrier or CA), within the corresponding frequency range, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR serving cell.

[0052] ③ For NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and for random access procedures, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding PCell, Scell ​​and E-UTRAN serving cell of NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity.

[0053] ④ For NR-DC, within the corresponding frequency range, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR service cell within the corresponding frequency range of NR-DC.

[0054] 3) Derivative or enhancement mechanism based on measurement interval

[0055] Based on the above configuration of per-UE measurement gap or per-FR measurement gap and UE behavior, NR further introduces the following derivative or enhanced mechanisms:

[0056] ①Measurement gap sharing

[0057] When either intra-frequency measurement or inter-frequency measurement needs to occupy the measurement interval or affects the use of the measurement interval (for example, the SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window corresponding to the measurement based on the synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block, SSB) completely overlaps with the measurement interval), it is necessary to consider the sharing of the measurement interval between intra-frequency measurement and inter-frequency measurement.

[0058] Specifically, when the following conditions are met simultaneously based on the UE-level measurement interval or the FR-level measurement interval, measurement interval sharing based on the UE-level measurement interval and / or the FR-level measurement interval corresponding to the FR is applied:

[0059] Condition 1: Intra-frequency measurement requires occupying the measurement interval or affects the use of the measurement interval;

[0060] Condition 2: Inter-frequency measurement or radio access measurement (RAT measurement) needs to occupy the measurement interval, or inter-frequency measurement does not need to occupy the measurement interval but affects the use of the measurement interval;

[0061] Condition 3: The UE is configured to measure frequency layers used for positioning.

[0062] The measurement gap sharing can be controlled by the parameter MeasGapSharingScheme in the RRC message configured by the network device.

[0063] ②Pre-configured measurement gap

[0064] Compared with the basic measurement interval, NR further introduces an activation / deactivation mechanism. When a preconfigured measurement interval is activated, its operation is exactly the same as the basic measurement interval.

[0065] For the activation / deactivation mechanism, two further mechanisms can be distinguished:

[0066] A. Autonomous activation / deactivation mechanism

[0067] The UE may autonomously change the state of a preconfigured measurement interval from activated to deactivated, or vice versa, based on any one or any combination of the trigger conditions listed in the relevant protocols.

[0068] B. Network-controlled activation / deactivation mechanism

[0069] The UE may determine whether the status of a preconfigured measurement gap is activated or deactivated based on the parameter preConfGapStatus in the RRC message configured by the network device.

[0070] ③Concurrent measurement gaps

[0071] Compared with the basic measurement interval, it is allowed to configure a combination of measurement intervals with collision of MGoccasions for the UE.

[0072] When the UE does not support the configuration of FR-level measurement intervals, the network device may configure up to two UE-level measurement interval patterns (per-UE MG patterns) for the UE; when the UE supports the configuration of FR-level measurement intervals (per-FR MG), the network may configure a combination of MG patterns in the relevant protocol for the UE.

[0073] For the determination of measurement interval conflicts, refer to the relevant protocols. When a conflict is determined, the priority configured for the measurement interval is used for processing: the measurement interval corresponding to the higher priority is applied (valid), and the measurement interval corresponding to the lower priority is abandoned (invalid). It is required that any two measurement intervals that are determined to be in conflict have corresponding priorities, and the corresponding priorities are different.

[0074] 4) Other interval mechanisms (independent of measurement intervals)

[0075] In NR, the following interval mechanism is further introduced:

[0076] ① Network controlled small gap (NCSG)

[0077] When NCSG is configured, other measurement intervals cannot be configured at the same time.

[0078] See the schematic diagram of NCSG parameters for details. Figure 3 .

[0079] exist Figure 3 middle:

[0080] VIL1 is the visible interruption length before ML, and VIL2 is the visible interruption length after ML. During VIL1 and VIL2, the UE is not expected to transmit and receive any data.

[0081] ML is the measurement length. During ML, whether the terminal expects to send and receive data on the corresponding service operator depends on the scheduling restriction requirements specified in TS38.133 9.2.7.3 and 9.3.10.3.

[0082] VIRP is the Visible interruption Repetition Period.

[0083] For the NCSG Configurations table, see Table 9.1.9.3-1 in TS38.133, which is different from the configuration table for the measurement interval.

[0084] ②Multi universal Subscriber Identity Module (MUSIM) interval

[0085] The MUSIM Gap is used for MUSIM operations, such as cell identification and measurement, paging monitoring, representative system information block (SIB) acquisition and / or on-demand representative information system request (SI) request for the target cell in the target network.

[0086] ③UL gap for Tx power management

[0087] UL gap is used for transmit power measurement in NR FR2, and there are restrictions on some uplink transmissions in the following scenarios:

[0088] In the FR2 single carrier (Component Carrier, CC) scenario, the FR2 intra-band carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA) scenario, and the FR2 inter-band CA scenario where the terminal does not support tx-Support-UL-GapFR2-r17, when the UL gap of the NR service unit overlaps with the uplink transmission, the terminal does not need to perform transmissions other than TS38.321 clause 5.30 in the UL gap of the NR service unit.

[0089] The UL Gap Pattern Configurations table is shown in Table 9.1.11-1 in TS38.133, which is different from the configuration table of the basic measurement interval.

[0090] Next, the restrictions on scheduling availability in NR are briefly described.

[0091] Taking into account the RRM operation on the UE side, in addition to the data transmission and reception restrictions on the UE side of the aforementioned interval mechanism, relevant provisions for scheduling availability restrictions are introduced in the time period (or symbol subset therein) when the UE (may) perform RRM operations.

[0092] It should be noted that the situations listed below focus on scheduling restrictions when the UE is not in a measurement interval (some situations marked with NCSG are scheduling restrictions for the UE during the ML period of NCSG, when the UE is not allowed to configure other measurement intervals at the same time).

[0093] Specifically, the considerations for introducing scheduling availability restrictions during the time period when the UE (may) perform RRM operations generally include:

[0094] Factor 1: Switching between uplink and downlink transmission directions

[0095] At this time, only uplink transmission is affected: the UE does not expect to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS.

[0096] Case involved:

[0097] Case I: UE performs measurements in the Time Division Duplexing (TDD) band (on FR1 (see Note 11 below))

[0098] Case 1: Intra-frequency measurement based on NR SSB without MG (or with NCSG);

[0099] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration, RSSI measurement symbols (only applicable to SS-RSRQ measurement), and some data symbols before / after the aforementioned symbols;

[0100] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 12 and 13 below.

[0101] Case 2: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) inter-frequency measurement;

[0102] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration, RSSI measurement symbols (only applicable to SS-RSRQ measurement), and some data symbols before / after the aforementioned symbols;

[0103] Extension to other service areas: See Notes 12 and 13 below (applicable only to NCSG cases).

[0104] Case 3: CLI (SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI) measurement on FR1 / FR2 (MG is not always required);

[0105] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: OFDM symbols used to perform CLI measurements and some pre-data symbols before these symbols;

[0106] Extension to other service cells: See Note 12 below.

[0107] Case 4: Intra-frequency measurement based on NR CSI-RS (MG is not always required);

[0108] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: configured CSI-RS resource symbols and some data symbols before / after these symbols;

[0109] Extension to other service cells: See Note 12 below.

[0110] Note 11: Applicable to Case 3 and Case 4, not limited to FR1.

[0111] Note 12: Scheduling restrictions apply to other service cells in the same frequency band (it can be understood that Note 12 also applies to the above-mentioned Case 1 / Case 2 / Case 3 / Case 4).

[0112] Specifically, when TDD intra-band carrier aggregation is performed, the scheduling restrictions generated by a given serving cell should also be applied to all other serving cells on the same frequency band that fully or partially overlap with the symbols involved in the above scheduling restrictions.

[0113] Note 13: When the UE does not support simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA (inter-band CA simultaneous transmission and reception) for the frequency band pair formed by the current frequency band and the other frequency band for a certain other frequency band, the scheduling restriction applies to the serving cell in this other frequency band.

[0114] Specifically, when TDD inter-band carrier aggregation is performed, if the UE does not have the ability to simultaneously support simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA for the band pair, the scheduling restrictions of a given serving cell should also apply to another serving cell in a different band that completely or partially overlaps with the above-mentioned restricted symbols. That is, in TDD inter-band carrier aggregation, if a serving cell has scheduling restrictions, then these restrictions should also apply to the symbols of another serving cell in a different band that partially or completely overlaps with it.

[0115] Factor 2: Switching between different downlink subcarrier spacings (DL SCS) on FR1

[0116] This affects both uplink transmission and downlink reception: the UE does not expect to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, or does not expect to receive PDCCH / PDSCH / TRS / CSI-RSfor tracking / CSI-RS for channel quality indication (CQI). Among them, TRS and CSI-RS for tracking items are only effective for the following situations.

[0117] Cases covered: For UEs that do not support simultaneousRxDataSSB-DiffNumerology (for intra-frequency measurements (including cases without MG or using NCSG), L1-RSRP measurements (including cases of reporting or candidate beam detection), LI-SINR measurements, radio link monitoring, beam failure detection) or simultaneousRxDataSSB-DiffNumerology-Inter-r16 (for inter-frequency measurements), and SSB-based operation:

[0118] Case I: UE measures on FR1 using a different subcarrier spacing than PDSCH / PDCCH (not applicable for CSI-RS)

[0119] Case 1: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) intra-frequency measurement

[0120] The symbols involved in the scheduling restrictions: if deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is enabled, it involves the SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after the SSB symbols; if deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is not enabled, it involves all symbols within the SMTC window duration;

[0121] Extension to other service cells: See Note 21 below.

[0122] Case 2: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) inter-frequency measurement

[0123] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after SS symbols;

[0124] Extension to other service cells: See Note 21 below.

[0125] Case 3: NR SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement for reporting (or candidate beam detection) (MG is not always required)

[0126] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: symbols corresponding to the SSB index used for L1-RSRP measurement;

[0127] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.

[0128] Case 4: L1-SINR measurement based on NR SSB (MG is not always required)

[0129] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols to be measured for L1-SINR measurement;

[0130] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.

[0131] Case II: UE performs radio link monitoring using a subcarrier spacing different from that of PDSCH / PDCCH on FR1. Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols used for radio link monitoring;

[0132] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.

[0133] Case III: UE uses subcarrier spacing different from PDSCH / PDCCH for beam failure detection on FR1 Scheduling restrictions Symbols involved: SSB symbols for beam failure detection;

[0134] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.

[0135] Note 21: Scheduling restrictions apply to other serving cells in the same frequency band (it is understood that Note 21 applies to all the above situations at the same time).

[0136] Specifically, when intra-band carrier aggregation is performed, scheduling restrictions due to a given serving cell should also apply to all other serving cells in the same frequency band on symbols that fully or partially overlap with the above restricted symbols.

[0137] Note 22: Scheduling restrictions do not apply to serving cells in other frequency bands.

[0138] Specifically, when inter-band carrier aggregation within FR1 is configured, except for the frequency band where the service cell with scheduling restriction is located, the FR1 service cells configured in other frequency bands are not subject to scheduling restriction.

[0139] Factor 3: Switching between different analog beams (Beam management) in FR2

[0140] This affects both uplink transmission and downlink reception: the UE does not expect to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, or does not expect to receive PDCCH / PDSCH / TRS / CSI-RSfor tracking / CSI-RS for channel quality indication (CQI). Among them, TRS and CSI-RS for tracking items are only effective for the following situations.

[0141] Case involved:

[0142] Case I: UE measures FR2

[0143] Case 1: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) intra-frequency measurement

[0144] The symbols involved in the scheduling restrictions: If deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is enabled, it involves the SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after the SSB symbols: If deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is not enabled, it involves all symbols within the SMTC window duration;

[0145] Extension to other serving cells: See Note 31, Note 32, Note 33 and Note 34 below.

[0146] Case 2: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) inter-frequency measurement

[0147] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after the SSB symbols;

[0148] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31" and "Note 35 (applicable only to NCSG)" below.

[0149] Case 3: L1-RSRP measurement report (or candidate beam detection) based on NR CSI-RS / SSB (MG is not always required)

[0150] Symbols involved in the scheduling restriction: symbols corresponding to SSB indices or periodic / semi-persistent / aperiodic CSI-RS resources configured for L1-RSRP measurement, and some data symbols before / after these symbols (for the case of FR2-2 and 480 / 960kHz SCS reference symbols, and for HST scenarios).

[0151] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31", "Note 32" and "Note 33" below.

[0152] Case 4: L1-SINR measurement based on NR CSI-RS / SSB (MG is not always required)

[0153] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: symbols for which L1-SINR needs to be measured, and some data symbols before / after these symbols (only applicable to FR2 power level 6 UE configured with highSpeedMeasFlagFR2-r17);

[0154] Extension to other service areas: See Note 31 below.

[0155] Case 5: Intra-frequency measurement based on NR CSI-RS (MG is not always required)

[0156] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: CSI-RS symbols configured in the configured time slots for the CSI-RS resources used for measurement;

[0157] Extension to other service cells: see "Note 31" and "Note 32" below.

[0158] Case II: UE performs radio link monitoring on FR2

[0159] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: RLM-RS symbols for radio link monitoring measurements, and some data symbols before / after the RLM-RS symbols (only applicable to R2-2 and RLM-RS using 480 / 960kHz SCS);

[0160] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31", "Note 32" and "Note 33" below.

[0161] Case III: UE performs beam failure detection on FR2

[0162] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: reference symbols used for candidate beam detection, and data symbols before and after these symbols (for FR2-2 and RLM-RS using 480 / 960kHz SCS);

[0163] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31", "Note 32" and "Note 33" below.

[0164] Note 31: Scheduling restrictions apply to other serving cells in the same frequency band (it is understood that Note 31 applies to all the above situations at the same time).

[0165] Specifically, when intra-band carrier aggregation is performed in FR2, scheduling restrictions due to a given serving cell should also apply to all other serving cells in the same frequency band that fully or partially overlap with the above restricted symbols.

[0166] Note 32: Scheduling restrictions do not apply to serving cells in other frequency bands.

[0167] Specifically, when performing inter-band carrier aggregation of FR2, if the UE can perform independent beam management on the FR2 frequency band pair, since there are scheduling restrictions on FR2 service cells in different frequency bands, there are no scheduling restrictions on FR2 service cells in each frequency band.

[0168] NOTE 33: Scheduling restrictions do not apply to the inter-band case where the SSB of one FR2 band is different from the SCS of the data of another FR2 band, assuming that IBM (Independent Beam Management) operation is supported for the band pair consisting of these two FR2 bands.

[0169] Specifically, if the terminal is configured with different numerologies between SSB on one FR2 band and data on another FR2 band, there is no scheduling restriction, provided that the terminal is configured for Independent Beam Management (IBM) for the band pair.

[0170] NOTE 34: When the UE does not support simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA, scheduling restrictions apply to the serving cell in this other frequency band.

[0171] Specifically, when inter-band carrier aggregation is performed in FR2, if the UE does not support the FR2simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA, then on symbols that completely or partially overlap with the above restricted symbols.

[0172] NOTE 35: For inter-band cases, the applicability of scheduling restrictions for various combinations of IBM capability and simultaneous transmit / receive capability.

[0173] Specifically, the following situations A / B / C / D can be distinguished and regulated separately:

[0174] Case A: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the frequency band where the serving cell is located, the UE supports neither IBM nor simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA;

[0175] Case B: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the frequency band where the serving cell is located, the UE does not support IBM but supports simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA;

[0176] Case C: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the frequency band where the serving cell is located, the UE supports IBM but does not support simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA;

[0177] Case D: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the frequency band where the serving cell is located, the UE supports both IBM and simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA: At this time, there is no scheduling restriction on the serving cell.

[0178] Factor 4: Different downlink frequency division multiplexed (FDMed) measurements and receiving UE capabilities

[0179] At this time, only downlink reception is affected: the UE does not expect to receive PDCCH / PDSCH / TRS / CSI-RS for tracking / CSI-RS for channel quality indication (CQI).

[0180] Case involved:

[0181] Case I: UE performs CLI measurement and DL reception in FDM mode

[0182] Case 1: CLI (SRS-RSRP / CLI-rssi) measurement on FR1 / FR2 (MG is not always required) Scheduling restrictions Symbols involved: OFDM symbols used for SRS-RSRP measurement, OFDM symbols used for SRS-RSRP measurement, and some data symbols before these symbols; OFDM symbols used for CLI-RSSI measurement, OFDM symbols used to perform CLI-RSSI measurement, and some data symbols before these symbols.

[0183] Extension to other service areas: See Note 41 below.

[0184] Note 41: Scheduling restrictions apply to other serving cells in the same frequency band (it is understood that Note 41 applies to all the above situations at the same time).

[0185] Specifically, when TDD intra-band carrier aggregation is configured, the scheduling restriction on the serving cell performing CLI measurement is applicable to all serving cells in the same frequency band that fully or partially overlap with the restricted symbols.

[0186] It should be noted that, in the above text, MG is the abbreviation of measurement gap.

[0187] The above briefly describes the spacing mechanism, as well as the scheduling availability / limitation regulations.

[0188] A communication method proposed in an embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0189] like Figure 4 As shown, a communication method proposed in an embodiment of the present application may include:

[0190] Step 401: The communication device determines whether to perform a preset operation for a target service cell based on a first transmission object and a preset method, wherein the first transmission object includes at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel and a scheduled signal, and the preset operation is used to relax the reception and transmission restrictions of the target service cell imposed by an interval mechanism, and / or the preset operation is used to relax the scheduling restrictions imposed on the target service cell by scheduling availability / restriction provisions.

[0191] The communication device may be a network device or a terminal device.

[0192] The first transmission object belongs to the target service cell, or the first transmission object is on the target service cell. Furthermore, the target service cell belongs to the service cell to which the spacing mechanism is applied, and the target service cell belongs to the service cell with scheduling restrictions; or the service cell to which the spacing mechanism is applied includes the target service cell, and the service cell with scheduling restrictions includes the target service cell.

[0193] Exemplarily, in step 401, determining whether to perform a preset operation based on the first transmission object and the preset method may include: when the time domain where the first transmission object is located overlaps with the target time domain, determining whether to perform the preset operation in the target time domain based on the preset method, wherein the target time domain includes a time domain related to the interval and / or a time domain with scheduling restrictions.

[0194] Specifically, the target time domain may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0195] 1) The time domain or gap occasions;

[0196] 2) A set of symbols;

[0197] 3) Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) window.

[0198] The first symbol set (A set of symbols) may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0199] Symbols in one or more windows or window groups;

[0200] Symbols within one or more time periods / time sub-segments;

[0201] The duration / interval / time of the transmission scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) corresponds to the symbol within the time with scheduling restriction;

[0202] The symbol corresponding to the time of the transmission opportunity indicated by the uplink control information (UCI) / the interval overlapping with the transmission opportunity indicated by the UCI / the time with scheduling restrictions;

[0203] A symbolic set of scheduling restrictions.

[0204] The definitions of window, window group, time period / time sub-segment, duration / extended duration corresponding to transmission are described in detail below. For example, the window can be GapWindow, or, for the NCSG mechanism, the window here can be Figure 3 ML, etc.; there is a set of symbols with scheduling restrictions, please refer to the corresponding description in the scheduling availability / restriction regulations above.

[0205] The first transmission object may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0206] 1) Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), for example, at least one of Configuring granting Physical Uplink Shared Channel (CGPUSCH) (for example, PUSCH configured by parameter ConfiguredGrantConfig) and PUSCH carrying semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) (for example, PUSCH configured by parameter semiPersistentOnPUSCH);

[0207] 2) Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), for example, PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK corresponding to Semi-Persistent Scheduling PDSCH (SPS PDSCH), PUCCH carrying CSI, and PUCCH carrying SR;

[0208] 3) Sounding Reference Signal (SRS);

[0209] 4) Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH);

[0210] 5) Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), such as SPSPDSCH;

[0211] 6) Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

[0212] 7) Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS);

[0213] 8) Wake-up signal (WUS).

[0214] The preset method may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0215] The preset rules stipulated in the agreement;

[0216] Instructions from network equipment, including high-level signaling configuration or base station instructions;

[0217] Indication of terminal equipment.

[0218] Exemplarily, the indication of the network device may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0219] 1) Execute or not execute the preset operation for the second transmission object

[0220] The second object may be a transmission object of a specific type or any type (including at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel, and a scheduled signal). For example, the base station instructs a certain type of channel or signal (such as PDCCH) to perform or not perform the preset operation. It should be noted that the second transmission object may be the same as or different from the first transmission object.

[0221] Specifically, the network device may explicitly configure or indicate, through signaling such as RRC, MAC CE or DCI, whether to perform the preset operation on the transmission object, for example:

[0222] a. For one or more configured second transmission objects, respectively configure / instruct to execute or not execute the preset operation.

[0223] For example, configuration / indication is performed respectively for CG Config / PUCCH Config / PUCCH resource / SR configuration / CSI configuration / SRS Config (or SRS-ResourceSet) / CORESET (or Search space).

[0224] b. Configure a list of N second transmission objects to the terminal device through the unlimited resource control RRC, and execute or not execute the preset operation for at least one second transmission object in the list.

[0225] For example, the network device first configures a list through RRC, which contains N configurations: config0, config 1, ..., config N-1, where each configuration can correspond to at least one of CG PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, SPS PDSCH and search space (search space, SS), indicating that the UE may perform the preset operation based on these N configurations.

[0226] c. A list including N second transmission objects is configured to the terminal device through the unlimited resource control RRC, and the M second transmission objects in the list are indicated through the first indication information to execute or not execute the preset operation.

[0227] For example, the network device first configures a list through RRC, where the list contains N configurations: config0, config 1, ..., config N-1, where each configuration can correspond to at least one of CG PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, SPS PDSCH and search space (SS), etc.; further, the network device can indicate M configurations (for example, M = 1 or greater than 1, and M <= N) among the N configurations configured by RRC through MACCE or DCI, indicating that the UE performs the preset operation based on these M configurations.

[0228] In addition, for the second transmission object for which the network device is not configured / indicated whether to execute the preset operation, the preset operation is always executed or not executed by default.

[0229] 2) Execute or not execute the preset operation for the first UE behavior

[0230] The first UE behavior may be a specific UE behavior (eg, a PDCCH monitoring behavior) or any UE behavior.

[0231] It can be understood that for PDCCH monitoring, the UE is configured to detect the corresponding PDCCH at certain specific locations (e.g. periodically). The UE performs PDCCH detection at these locations. The UE may detect the corresponding PDCCH or may not detect the corresponding PDCCH (e.g., the base station does not send the corresponding PDCCH at this location).

[0232] 3) A first parameter and a preset rule, wherein the first parameter includes the configuration and priority of the third transmission object. Whether to perform the preset operation on the first transmission object can be determined according to the first parameter and the preset rule.

[0233] Similarly, the third transmission object may include at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel and a scheduled signal, and the third transmission object may be the same as or different from the first transmission object.

[0234] The first parameter may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0235] The physical layer (PHY) priority of PUSCH (e.g., priority index);

[0236] PHY priority of PUCCH (e.g., priority index);

[0237] PUCCH configuration (PUCCH config), for example, PUCCH-config corresponding to high priority UCI;

[0238] PHY priority of PDSCH (e.g., priority index);

[0239] The PHY priority (e.g., priority index) of the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH;

[0240] The PHY priority (such as priority index) of the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDCCH.

[0241] Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) corresponding to PDSCH;

[0242] RNTI corresponding to PDCCH;

[0243] The transmission period corresponding to the third transmission object, wherein the third transmission object includes at least one of PUSCH, PUCCH, PDSCH, PDCCH and PDSCH.

[0244] The preset rules may include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0245] 1) For the second transmission object, execute or not execute the preset operation.

[0246] The second object may be a transmission object of a specific type or any type (including at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel, and a scheduled signal). For example, the base station instructs a certain type of channel or signal (such as PDCCH) to perform or not perform the preset operation. It should be noted that the second transmission object may be the same as or different from the first transmission object.

[0247] 2) For the second transmission object for which the network device is not configured / indicated whether to execute the preset operation, the preset operation is always executed or not executed by default.

[0248] 3) Determine whether to execute the preset operation according to the priority of the first transmission object and the priority corresponding to the target time domain.

[0249] For example, the priority of the first transmission object may be compared with the priority of the measurement interval, gapPriority-r17, and based on the comparison relationship between the two, it is determined whether to perform the preset operation on the first transmission object. Generally speaking, if the priority of the first transmission object is higher than the priority of the measurement interval, the preset operation is performed on the first transmission object, otherwise, the preset operation is not performed.

[0250] Or determine whether to execute the preset operation based on the priority of the first transmission object and the priority of the measurement interval. For example, when the priority of the first transmission object is high priority, and / or when the priority of the measurement interval meets certain conditions (for example, the priority value is greater than or equal to a certain value), the terminal executes the preset operation, otherwise the preset operation is not executed.

[0251] 4) When the first transmission object includes PUSCH and the PUSCH satisfies a first condition, perform the preset operation; otherwise, do not perform the preset operation.

[0252] The first condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0253] a. The PHY priority of the PUSCH is high priority. For example, the preset operation can be performed on a CG PUSCH with a PHY priority index of 1 or a PHY priority of high priority (such as CG PUSCH of Type 1 and / or Type 2) or a PUSCH carrying SP-CSI, otherwise the preset operation is not performed.

[0254] b. The logical channel LCH priority of the PUSCH satisfies the ninth condition, wherein the ninth condition includes at least one of the conditions of being higher than a preset priority, lower than a preset priority, having the lowest priority, and having the highest priority. For example, for a CG PUSCH whose LCH priority is higher than a preset priority, the preset operation can be performed, otherwise the preset operation is not performed. The LCH of the CG PUSCH can be determined based on semi-static configuration information. For example, when a CG PUSCH corresponds to multiple LCHs, whether to perform the preset operation can be determined based on the corresponding lowest / highest LCH priority. For an introduction to the LCH priority, see "Supplementary Note 1" below.

[0255] c. The PUSCH is a PUSCH that carries semi-persistent channel state information (CSI, SP-CSI), and the CSI carried satisfies the tenth condition. For example, the tenth condition includes that the priority corresponding to the CSI is less than or equal to a certain threshold, or that the priority corresponding to the CSI is greater than or equal to a certain threshold. If a priority value is used to represent the priority corresponding to the CSI, the larger the priority value, the lower the priority corresponding to the CSI. The priority value corresponding to the CSI can be determined by protocol pre-definition or network device indication.

[0256] d. The PUSCH is in the first transmission timing TO. For example, the first TO is the first timing or the first valid timing in a transmission cycle, or the UCI does not indicate an unused transmission timing.

[0257] e. The transmission period of the PUSCH satisfies the eleventh condition. For example, the eleventh condition includes: the transmission period of the PUSCH is greater than or equal to a certain duration, or the transmission period of the PUSCH is less than or equal to a certain duration. The length of the certain duration can be determined by a network device indication or a protocol predefined method.

[0260] h. The PUSCH is in a specific service cell (i.e., the target service cell is a specific service cell). For example, the PUSCH is located in a service cell set (set) C1 to which the spacing mechanism or scheduling availability / restriction provision is applied, or a cell in the same frequency band as C1, or a different frequency band in the same frequency domain range as C1 (for example, the frequency band corresponding to C1 belongs to the same frequency band pair), or a cell in the same frequency domain range as C1 (such as FR1 or FR2, see "Supplementary Note 2" below for details).

[0261] 5) When the first transmission object includes PUCCH and the PUCCH satisfies a second condition, perform the preset operation; otherwise, do not perform the preset operation.

[0262] The second condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0263] a. The PHY priority of the PUCCH is a high priority. For example, for a PUCCH with a PHY priority index of 1 or a PHY priority of a high priority, the preset operation can be performed, otherwise the preset operation is not performed.

[0264] b. The PUCCH is a PUCCH under the first configuration (i.e., a specific configuration). For example, the base station configures multiple PUCCH-configs through the PUCCH-configurationList. The first PUCCH-config corresponds to a low-priority UCI transmission, and the second PUCCH-config corresponds to a high-priority UCI transmission. The PUCCH under the specific configuration may be a PUCCH under the second PUCCH-config.

[0265] c. The PUCCH is a PUCCH that carries the first uplink control information UCI, that is, the UCI type carried by the PUCCH includes a specific type, for example, the first UCI may include at least one of HARQ-ACK, Scheduling Request (SR) and CSI. Optionally, if the first UCI includes HARQ-ACK, the transmission mode corresponding to the HARQ-ACK is an ACK / NACK mode, or the ACK / NACK mode is a unicast ACK / NACK mode; if the first UCI includes CSI, the priority of the CSI satisfies the fourth condition, such as being higher than a preset priority. If a priority value is used to represent the priority corresponding to the CSI, the larger the priority value, the lower the priority corresponding to the CSI. The priority value corresponding to the CSI may be determined in a manner predefined by the protocol or indicated by a network device.

[0266] d. The transmission period of the PUCCH satisfies the thirteenth condition, for example, the thirteenth condition includes that the PUSCH is a PUCCH carrying an SR, and the transmission period of the SR is greater than or equal to a certain duration, or the transmission period of the SR is less than or equal to a certain duration.

[0275] c. The PRACH is configured by a second parameter, that is, the PRACH can be configured by a specific parameter, wherein the second parameter can be specified by a protocol or indicated by a network device, for details, see "Supplementary Note 3" below.

[0276] 8) When the first transmission object includes PDCCH and the PDCCH satisfies the fifth condition, perform the preset operation; otherwise, do not perform the preset operation.

[0282] a. The priority of the PDSCH is high priority, for example, the priority index of the PDSCH is 1;

[0283] b. The priority corresponding to the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH is a high priority, for example, the priority index corresponding to the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH is 1 (high priority);

[0284] c. The configuration index corresponding to the PDSCH satisfies the seventeenth condition, for example, the seventeenth condition includes that the configuration index of the PDSCH is less than or equal to a specific value;

[0285] d. The PDSCH is a unicast PDSCH;

[0286] e. The RNTI corresponding to the PDSCH includes at least one of a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI), a Modulation and Coding Scheme Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (MCS-C-RNTI), and a Cell-specific Radio Network Temporary Identifier (CS-RNTI);

[0287] f. The transmission period of the PDSCH satisfies the eighteenth condition, for example, the eighteenth condition includes that the transmission period of the PDSCH is less than or equal to a certain duration, or that the transmission period of the PDSCH is greater than or equal to a certain duration.

[0288] 10) When the first transmission object includes a CSI-RS and the CSI-RS satisfies the seventh condition, perform the preset operation; otherwise, do not perform the preset operation.

[0289] The seventh condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0290] a. The transmission period of the CSI-RS satisfies the nineteenth condition, for example, the nineteenth condition includes that the transmission period of the CSI-RS is less than or equal to a certain duration, or that the transmission period of the PDSCH is greater than or equal to a certain duration;

The CSI-RS is used for a third purpose (i.e., a specific purpose), for example, the CSI-RS is a CSI-RS configured by measObjectNR (for RRM), or, the CSI-RS is a CSI-RS associated with RadioLinkMonitoringConfig and BeamFailureDectection (for RLM and BFD), or, the CSI-RS is a periodic CSI-RS with "trs-Info" configured as "true" (for tracking), or, the CSI-RS is a periodic / semi-persistent CSI-RS (for BM).

[0292] c. The type of the CSI-RS is the second type (ie, a specific type), see the above description of the third purpose.

[0293] 11) When the first transmission object includes a WUS and the WUS satisfies the eighth condition, the preset operation is performed; otherwise, the preset operation is not performed.

[0294] The eighth condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0295] a. The WUS includes a monitoring signal of a network device configured to monitor the location of the WUS;

[0296] b. The WUS includes a monitoring signal of the monitoring WUS location determined by a specified rule.

[0297] Exemplarily, the indication of the terminal device may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: whether a transmission occasion (TO) of a physical uplink data channel PUSCH is used.

[0298] On this basis, in step 401, determining whether to perform a preset operation in the target time domain based on a preset manner may include:

[0299] In a case where the terminal device indicates that at least one TO of the PUSCH is unused, the at least one TO in the target time domain does not perform the preset operation;

[0300] In a case where the terminal device does not indicate that at least one TO of the PUSCH is not used, the at least one TO in the target time domain performs the preset operation.

[0301] For example, the terminal device may indicate whether one or some transmission opportunities of the CG PUSCH are used through UCI (e.g., UTO-UCI). If the UTO-UCI indicates that one or some CG PUSCH transmission opportunities are unused, the preset operation is not performed in the target time domain corresponding to the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity (e.g., the MG overlapping with the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity time domain); if the UTO-UCI does not indicate that one or some CG PUSCH transmission opportunities are unused, the preset operation is performed in the target time domain corresponding to the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity (e.g., the MG overlapping with the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity time domain).

[0302] Optionally, if the terminal device corresponding to the first transmission object is configured with a first discontinuous reception (DRX), and the first transmission object is in the activation time of the first DRX, or the first transmission object overlaps with the activation time of the first DRX, wherein the first DRX includes at least one of connected DRX (DRX) and cell DRX (DRX), and the target service cell belongs to the DRX group corresponding to the first DRX or the service cell corresponding to the cell DRX, then the preset operation is performed. For example, during the operation of drx-OnDurationTimer, drx-IactivityTimer, DRX retransmission timer (e.g., drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL), the preset operation is performed.

[0303] Optionally, if the terminal device corresponding to the first transmission object is configured with discontinuous reception (DRX) or discontinuous transmission (DTX) in the target service cell, and the first transmission object is in the activation time of the cell DRX or the cell DTX, or the first transmission object overlaps with the activation time of the cell DRX or the cell DTX, the preset operation is performed.

[0304] Optionally, it is determined that the target time domain for performing the preset operation satisfies a preset condition, wherein the preset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0305] 1) The target time domain is not used for the fourth purpose or the first scenario, wherein the fourth purpose or the first scenario is specified by a protocol or configured by high-level signaling. For example, the first purpose may include at least one of resource connection and monitoring (RLM) and bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD).

[0306] 2) The target time domain is only used for the fifth purpose or the second scenario, wherein the fifth purpose or the second scenario is specified by the protocol or configured by high-level signaling. For example, the fifth purpose may include at least one of intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement and positioning.

[0307] 3) The priority of the target time domain meets the preset requirements, for example, the preset requirements include: the absolute priority is lower than the preset priority, and / or the relative priority is lower than the priority of the transmission object, etc. The purpose of setting the preset condition is to allow the preset operation to be performed only for the target time domain with a lower or sufficiently low priority, so as to avoid affecting the use of the target time domain for higher priority or more important functions as much as possible.

[0308] 4) If the terminal device corresponding to the first transmission object is configured with a first discontinuous reception DRX, the target time domain is in the activation time of the first DRX, or the target time domain overlaps with the activation time of the first DRX, wherein the first DRX includes at least one of connected DRX (Connected Discontinuous Reception, DRX) and cell DRX (Cell Discontinuous Reception, DRX), and the target service cell belongs to the DRX group corresponding to the first DRX, or the target service cell and the first DRX are in the same service cell. Optionally, the terminal device is instructed (for example, by DCI format 2_6 indication, or by LP-WUS signal) to wake up during the first DRX duration (onDuration).

[0309] 5) If the terminal device corresponding to the first transmission object is configured with discontinuous reception DRX or discontinuous transmission DTX in the target service cell, the target time domain is in the activation time of the cell DRX or the cell DTX, or the target time domain overlaps with the activation time of discontinuous reception DRX or discontinuous transmission DTX.

[0310] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the absolute value requirement, for example, the corresponding priority is required to be lower than or not higher than the predefined threshold, or the gapPriority-r17 value corresponding to the GapConfig-r17 corresponding to the transmission opportunity is required to be greater than or not less than the predefined threshold. The predefined threshold here can be specified by the protocol or configured by high-level signaling or reported by the terminal. For relative requirements, for example, the corresponding priority is the lowest or one of the lowest N priorities among all configured GapConfig-r17 values ​​(the larger the value of this parameter, the lower the corresponding priority) (or, the corresponding gapPriority-r17 value is the largest or one of the largest N priorities among all configured GapConfig-r17 values), or, the corresponding priority is the lowest or one of the lowest M priorities among the GapConfig-r17 values ​​corresponding to the Gap occasion that exists within a period of time (given by the period of time for determining whether to perform the preset operation in each specific method) (or, the corresponding gapPriority-r17 value is the largest or one of the largest M priorities among the GapConfig-r17 values ​​corresponding to the Gap occasion that exists within this period of time).

[0311] Currently, it is temporarily assumed that there is no concept of priority for symbols with scheduling restrictions.

[0312] 6) The period or length of the window meets the preset requirements, for example, the period is not longer than a preset threshold, and / or the length is not shorter than a preset threshold, etc. The preset threshold here can be specified by the protocol or configured by high-level signaling.

[0313] Currently, it is temporarily assumed that symbols with scheduling restrictions do not involve concepts such as period and length.

[0314] Exemplarily, the preset operation may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0315] 1) Relax, remove, override or ignore scheduling restrictions within the first set of symbols (Relax / disable / override / ignore scheduling restrictions during a set of symbols).

[0316] The first symbol set (Aset of symbols) may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0317] Symbols in one or more windows or window groups;

[0318] Symbols within one or more time periods / time sub-segments;

[0319] The duration / interval / time of the transmission scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) corresponds to the symbol within the time with scheduling restriction;

[0320] The symbol corresponding to the time of the transmission opportunity indicated by the uplink control information (UCI) / the interval overlapping with the transmission opportunity indicated by the UCI / the time with scheduling restrictions;

[0321] A symbolic set of scheduling restrictions.

[0322] The definitions of window, window group, time period / time sub-segment, duration / extended duration corresponding to transmission are described in detail below. For example, the window can be GapWindow, or, for the NCSG mechanism, the window here can be Figure 3 ML, etc.; there is a set of symbols with scheduling restrictions, please refer to the corresponding description in the scheduling availability / restriction regulations above.

[0323] Here, relaxing, removing, covering or ignoring the scheduling constraints in the first symbol set can be understood as the following a or b:

[0324] a. Turn off / remove the scheduling restriction corresponding to the first symbol set, so that channels / signals that were not allowed to be sent / received before the turn off / removal are allowed to be sent / received within this symbol set, for example, the terminal receives and sends in these symbols according to the base station configuration or scheduling;

[0325] b. Partially close / remove the scheduling restrictions corresponding to the first symbol set, so that channels / signals that were not allowed to be sent or received before closing / removing and meet corresponding conditions (see the description of preset rules above for details) are allowed to be sent or received within this symbol set.

[0326] 2) Skip, remove, override or ignore gap opportunities (Skip / disable / override / ignore Gapoccasion(s));

[0327] The interval opportunity can be understood as the (single) interval window corresponding to a certain interval mechanism in NR after configuration / activation. For the NCSG mechanism, the interval opportunity here can be Figure 3 The window consisting of VIL1, ML and VIL2 shown, or only Figure 3 The time portion of at least one of VIL1, VIL2 and ML.

[0328] The skipping, removing, overwriting or ignoring here can be understood as closing / removing the sending and receiving restrictions within the interval opportunity (that is, treating this interval opportunity as invalid, or treating this interval opportunity as not existing), or closing / removing the sending and receiving restrictions within the interval opportunity for the reception / transmission that meets certain conditions (see the description of the preset rules above for details) (that is, only for the reception / transmission that meets certain conditions, this interval opportunity is treated as invalid, or treated as not existing).

[0329] 3) Skip, remove, cover or ignore measurement during a set of symbols or gap occasion(s); Skip, remove, cover or ignore here can be understood as turning off / removing the measurement that may be required before. The second symbol set is similar to the first symbol set mentioned above.

[0330] 4) Adjusting the interval pattern parameters, wherein the interval pattern parameters include at least one of the interval period length, the interval length, and the interval offset. For example, adjusting the interval pattern parameters may include extending / shortening the interval period, adjusting the value of the parameter mgrp, adjusting the value of the parameter gapOffset, and adjusting the value of the parameter mgl, etc.

[0331] 5) receiving or sending the first transmission object normally without being subject to the transmission and reception restriction (i.e., without transmission and reception restriction);

[0332] 6) Receive or send a second transmission object (i.e., send or receive a specific channel / signal), the second transmission object is specified by the protocol or indicated by the network device. For example, the second transmission object may include LP-WUS, a high priority transmission object (e.g., PUSCH or PUCCH with a PHY priority of 1, or PRACH\PUCCH, a search space configured for detecting CSS, etc.).

[0333] Supplementary Note 1: Network devices can configure the priority of LCH and the CGPUSCH configuration corresponding to LCH through RRC parameters (such as allowedCG-List-r16).

[0334] Logical channel related configuration includes:

[0335] LogicalChannelConfig->ul-SpecificParameters->priority

[0336] LogicalChannelConfig->ul-SpecificParameters->allowedServingCells / allowedSCS-List / allowedCG-List-r16 / allowedPHY-PriorityIndex-r16

[0337] For more information about logical channel configuration, see Figure 5 .

[0338] Supplementary Note 2: The scope of the target serving cell (including the target serving cell) of the above preset operation is defined by the protocol, or is the serving cell or serving cell set to which the interval timing or scheduling restriction applies. For example, for the interval timing corresponding to the UE-level measurement gap (per-UE measurement gap), the target serving cell can be understood as all serving cells configured by the UE, including NR serving cells or E-UTRAN serving cells; for the interval timing corresponding to the FR-level measurement gap (per-FR measurement gap), the target serving cell can be understood as all serving cells configured by the UE in the corresponding FR (FR1 or FR2), including NR serving cells or E-UTRAN serving cells. For another example, for scheduling restriction, in addition to the serving cells directly introduced into the scheduling restriction based on RRM measurement, CLI measurement, L1-RSRP measurement, L1-SINR measurement, RLM, BFD and other behaviors, it also includes other serving cells in the same frequency band or in different frequency bands that are extended and determined based on the capabilities such as being located in the same frequency band or located in other frequency bands but the UE does not support simultaneous transmission and reception or IBM of the corresponding frequency band pair (see the corresponding description in the previous text for specific extension rules).

[0339] Supplementary Note 3: The PRACH configuration involved in the existing protocol provisions shall be used, including at least one of the following:

[0340] Public PRACH configuration: PRACH configuration configured by the high-level parameter BWP-UplinkCommon->rach-ConfigCommon->prach-ConfigurationIndex. The corresponding RACH resources can be used for both CBRA and CFRA.

[0341] Dedicated PRACH configuration: PRACH configuration configured by the high-level parameter ReconfigurationWithSync->rach-ConfigDedicated->cfra->prach-ConfigurationIndex, optional configuration, the corresponding RACH resources are only used for CFRA;

[0342] BFR PRACH configuration: PRACH configuration configured by the high-level parameter BWP-UplinkDedicated->beamFailureRecoveryConfig->rach-ConfigBFR->prach-ConfigurationIndex, optional configuration, the corresponding RACH resources are only used for CFRA;

[0343] SIPRACH configuration: PRACH configuration configured by high-level parameter SI-SchedulingInfo->si-RequestConfig( / si-RequestConfigSUL)->rach-OccasionsSI->prach-ConfigurationIndex. It is optional and the corresponding RACH resources are only used for CFRA.

[0344] The above is an introduction to a communication method provided by the present application. In this method, for a target service cell, it can be determined whether to perform an operation for relaxing the reception and transmission restrictions of the target service cell by the interval mechanism based on the first transmission object and the preset mode, and / or it can be determined whether to perform an operation for relaxing the scheduling restrictions of the target service cell by the scheduling availability / restriction provisions, so as to relax the reception and transmission restrictions of the target service cell by the interval mechanism when necessary, and / or relax the scheduling restrictions of the target service cell by the scheduling availability / restriction provisions, thereby ensuring the communication performance of the relevant business data carried by the first transmission object. It can be understood that when the first transmission object is XR business data, the transmission delay of the XR business data can be reduced, the XR business capacity can be increased, and the communication performance of the XR business data can be guaranteed.

[0345] A communication method provided by the present application is illustrated below through a more specific embodiment.

[0346] Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a discontinuous reception or discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6In the example, ① the corresponding long-cycle DRX configuration has a wakeup indication of 0 (Wakeup indication=0), that is, not awakened (sleep); ② the corresponding long-cycle DRX configuration has a wakeup indication of 1 (Wakeup indication=1), that is, awakened (Wakeup).

[0347] like Figure 6 As shown, it is assumed that MG0, MG1, and MG2 are measurement gap occasions determined according to the base station configuration, and these MGs can be ignored or skipped (disabled / skipped) (for example, the priority of the MG meets a specific condition) by the above preset method. Figure 6 A transmission occasion (TO) corresponding to the configured first transmission object (config Tx1) is also given, and whether to perform the preset operation can be determined by at least one of the following methods:

[0348] 1) config Tx1 may be a transmission object that can be used to ignore or skip the MG, which is determined in a certain way. For example, it is determined by at least one of high-level signaling, MAC CE, DCI indication, and preset rules. For details, please refer to the description of the preset method above. Figure 6 As shown, TO0 overlaps with MG0 in the time domain, and TO3 overlaps with MG1. Since there is no TO overlap with MG2, the UE performs according to the existing technology at MG2 (for example, measurement is performed, and no other channel transmission or reception is performed except for related signals such as RRM / PRACH, please refer to the previous text for details). For MG0 and MG1, since they overlap with some TOs of config Tx1, MG0 and MG1 will be skipped or disabled (that is, the UE performs preset operations at MG0 and MG1, such as not performing measurements, but performing downlink reception or uplink transmission according to the base station configuration or scheduling, such as receiving PDCCH / PDSCH, transmitting PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, etc.).

[0349] 2) Certain TOs of config Tx1 can be used to ignore or skip the configuration transmission of MG. The certain TOs can be indicated by UCI, or the certain TOs can be specific repetitions or specific occasions, such as Figure 6As shown, TO0 overlaps with MG0 in the time domain, and TO3 overlaps with MG1. Since there is no TO overlap with MG2, at MG2, the UE performs according to the existing technology (for example, measurement is performed, and no other channel transmission or reception is performed except for related signals such as RRM / PRACH). For MG0 and MG1, since they overlap with some TOs of config Tx1, assuming that TO0 and TO3 are TOs that meet the above-mentioned UCI indication, or specific repetitions or specific timings, MG0 and MG1 will be skipped or disabled (that is, the UE performs preset operations at MG0 and MG1, such as not performing measurements, but performing downlink reception or uplink transmission according to the base station configuration or scheduling, such as receiving PDCCH / PDSCH, transmitting PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, etc.).

[0350] 3) Only when config Tx1 is in DRX onDuration TO can MG be skipped or ignored. Figure 6 In the TO overlapping with MG0, the UE is in the DRX off state. In MG0, the UE performs according to the existing technology (for example, measurement is performed, except for the RRM / PRACH and other related signals, no other channels are sent or received, refer to the previous text for details), Figure 6 If the TO overlapping with MG1 is in the DRX onDuration state, MG1 will be disabled or skipped (that is, the UE performs preset operations on MG1, such as not performing measurements, but performing downlink reception or uplink transmission according to the base station configuration or scheduling, such as receiving PDCCH / PDSCH, sending PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, etc.).

[0351] 4) If the UE is also configured with drx-IactivityTimer, DRX retransmission timer (e.g. drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL), the MG can be disabled or skipped only when config Tx1 is in TO of DRXactive time. That is, during the operation of OnDurationTimer, drx-IactivityTimer, DRX retransmission timer (e.g. drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL), the preset operation is performed.

[0352] 5) Only when config Tx1 is in DRX active time and the UE is instructed to wake up at this onDuration, the TO can disable or skip the MG, e.g. Figure 6In the figure, before each onDuration starts, the UE can detect the DCI sent by the base station (specifically, it can be configured according to the base station), such as DCI format 2_6 or other LP-WUS signals. If the Wake up indication in the DCI or LP-WUS signal is 1, it means that the UE will wake up in the next onDuration, otherwise the UE will continue to sleep. As shown in the figure, if the corresponding DCI indicates that the UE wakes up in the DRX cycle corresponding to MG1, TO3 will disable or skip MG1, otherwise it will not be disabled or skipped by TO3.

[0353] 6) If the target serving cell (set) C1 to which the MG is applicable or the serving cell where the above configuration is transmitted is configured with cell DTX / DRX, the MG can be disabled or skipped only when the TO of config Tx1 is in the DRX / DTX active time, etc.

[0354] It should be noted that Figure 4 The communication method provided in the illustrated embodiment may be executed by a transmission device. In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the transmission device executing the communication method as an example. Figure 4 The communication method provided in the illustrated embodiment may be executed by a communication device. In the embodiment of the present application, the communication device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the communication method executed by the communication device as an example.

[0355] A transmission device provided in an embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Since a transmission device provided in an embodiment of the present application corresponds to a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the description of the transmission device provided in an embodiment of the present application is relatively brief, and the details can be referred to the introduction of the method embodiment part above.

[0356] like Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a transmission device 700 , and the device 700 may include: a determination module 701 .

[0357] The determination module 701 is used to determine whether to perform a preset operation for a target service cell based on a first transmission object and a preset method, wherein the first transmission object includes at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel and a scheduled signal, and the preset operation is used to relax the reception and transmission restrictions of the target service cell by the interval mechanism, and / or the preset operation is used to relax the scheduling restrictions on the target service cell by the scheduling availability / restriction provisions.

[0358] The first transmission object belongs to the target service cell, or the first transmission object is on the target service cell. Furthermore, the target service cell belongs to the service cell to which the spacing mechanism is applied, and the target service cell belongs to the service cell with scheduling restrictions; or the service cell to which the spacing mechanism is applied includes the target service cell, and the service cell with scheduling restrictions includes the target service cell.

[0359] Exemplarily, in the determination module 701, the determination of whether to perform a preset operation based on the first transmission object and the preset method may include: when the time domain where the first transmission object is located overlaps with the target time domain, determining whether to perform the preset operation in the target time domain based on the preset method, wherein the target time domain includes a time domain related to the interval and / or a time domain with scheduling restrictions.

[0360] Specifically, the target time domain may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0361] 1) The time domain or interval occasions of the interval;

[0362] 2) A set of symbols;

[0363] 3) Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) window.

[0364] The first symbol set (Aset of symbols) may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0365] Symbols in one or more windows or window groups;

[0366] Symbols within one or more time periods / time sub-segments;

[0367] The duration / interval / time of the transmission scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) corresponds to the symbol within the time with scheduling restriction;

[0368] The symbol corresponding to the time of the transmission opportunity indicated by the uplink control information (UCI) / the interval overlapping with the transmission opportunity indicated by the UCI / the time with scheduling restrictions;

[0369] A symbolic set of scheduling restrictions.

[0370] The definitions of window, window group, time period / time sub-segment, duration / extended duration corresponding to transmission can be specifically described in the above description. For example, the window can be GapWindow, or, for the NCSG mechanism, the window here can be Figure 3 ML, etc.; there is a set of symbols with scheduling restrictions, please refer to the corresponding description in the scheduling availability / restriction regulations above.

[0371] The first transmission object may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0372] 1) Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), for example, at least one of Configuring granting Physical Uplink Shared Channel (CGPUSCH) (for example, PUSCH configured by parameter ConfiguredGrantConfig) and PUSCH carrying semi-persistent channel state information (SP-CSI) (for example, PUSCH configured by parameter semiPersistentOnPUSCH);

[0373] 2) Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), for example, PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK corresponding to Semi-Persistent Scheduling PDSCH (SPS PDSCH), PUCCH carrying CSI, and PUCCH carrying SR;

[0374] 3) Sounding Reference Signal (SRS);

[0375] 4) Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH);

[0376] 5) Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), such as SPSPDSCH;

[0377] 6) Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

[0378] 7) Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS)

[0379] 8) Wake-up signal (WUS).

[0380] The preset method may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0381] The preset rules stipulated in the agreement;

[0382] Instructions from network equipment, including high-level signaling configuration or base station instructions;

[0383] Indication of terminal equipment.

[0384] Exemplarily, the indication of the network device may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0385] 1) Execute or not execute the preset operation for the second transmission object

[0386] Among them, the second object can be a transmission object of a specific type or any type (including at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel, and a scheduled signal). For example, the base station instructs a certain type of channel or signal (such as PDCCH) to perform or not perform the preset operation. It should be noted that the second transmission object can be the same as or different from the first transmission object.

[0387] Specifically, the network device may explicitly configure or indicate, through signaling such as RRC, MAC CE or DCI, whether to perform the preset operation on the transmission object, for example:

[0388] a. For one or more configured second transmission objects, respectively configure / instruct to execute or not execute the preset operation.

[0389] For example, configuration / indication is performed respectively for CG Config / PUCCH Config / PUCCH resource / SR configuration / CSI configuration / SRS Config (or SRS-ResourceSet) / CORESET (or Search space).

[0390] b. Configure a list of N second transmission objects to the terminal device through the unlimited resource control RRC, and execute or not execute the preset operation for at least one second transmission object in the list.

[0391] For example, the network device first configures a list through RRC, which contains N configurations: config0, config 1, ..., config N-1, where each configuration can correspond to at least one of CG PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, SPS PDSCH and search space (search space, SS), indicating that the UE may perform the preset operation based on these N configurations.

[0392] c. A list including N second transmission objects is configured to the terminal device through the unlimited resource control RRC, and the M second transmission objects in the list are indicated through the first indication information to execute or not execute the preset operation.

[0393] For example, the network device first configures a list through RRC, where the list contains N configurations: config0, config 1, ..., config N-1, where each configuration can correspond to at least one of CG PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, SPS PDSCH and search space (SS), etc.; further, the network device can indicate M configurations (for example, M = 1 or greater than 1, and M <= N) among the N configurations configured by RRC through MACCE or DCI, indicating that the UE performs the preset operation based on these M configurations.

[0394] In addition, for the second transmission object for which the network device is not configured / indicated whether to execute the preset operation, the preset operation is always executed or not executed by default.

[0395] 2) Execute or not execute the preset operation for the first UE behavior

[0396] The first UE behavior may be a specific UE behavior (eg, a PDCCH monitoring behavior) or any UE behavior.

[0397] It can be understood that for PDCCH monitoring, the UE is configured to detect the corresponding PDCCH at certain specific locations (e.g. periodically). The UE performs PDCCH detection at these locations. The UE may detect the corresponding PDCCH or may not detect the corresponding PDCCH (e.g., the base station does not send the corresponding PDCCH at this location).

[0398] 3) A first parameter and a preset rule, wherein the first parameter includes the configuration and priority of the third transmission object. Whether to perform the preset operation on the first transmission object can be determined according to the first parameter and the preset rule.

[0399] Similarly, the third transmission object may include at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel and a scheduled signal, and the third transmission object may be the same as or different from the first transmission object.

[0400] The first parameter may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0401] The physical layer (PHY) priority of PUSCH (e.g., priority index);

[0402] PHY priority of PUCCH (e.g., priority index);

[0403] PUCCH configuration (PUCCH config), for example, PUCCH-config corresponding to high priority UCI;

[0404] PHY priority of PDSCH (e.g., priority index);

[0405] The PHY priority (e.g., priority index) of the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH;

[0406] The PHY priority (such as priority index) of the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDCCH.

[0407] Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) corresponding to PDSCH;

[0408] RNTI corresponding to PDCCH;

[0409] The transmission period corresponding to the third transmission object, wherein the third transmission object includes at least one of PUSCH, PUCCH, PDSCH, PDCCH and PDSCH.

[0410] The preset rules may include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0411] 1) For the second transmission object, execute or not execute the preset operation.

[0412] The second object may be a transmission object of a specific type or any type (including at least one of a configured channel, a configured signal, a scheduled channel, and a scheduled signal). For example, the base station instructs a certain type of channel or signal (such as PDCCH) to perform or not perform the preset operation. It should be noted that the second transmission object may be the same as or different from the first transmission object.

[0413] 2) For the second transmission object for which the network device is not configured / indicated whether to execute the preset operation, the preset operation is always executed or not executed by default.

[0414] 3) Determine whether to execute the preset operation according to the priority of the first transmission object and the priority corresponding to the target time domain.

[0415] For example, the priority of the first transmission object may be compared with the priority of the measurement interval, gapPriority-r17, and based on the comparison relationship between the two, it is determined whether to perform the preset operation on the first transmission object. Generally speaking, if the priority of the first transmission object is higher than the priority of the measurement interval, the preset operation is performed on the first transmission object, otherwise, the preset operation is not performed.

[0416] Or determine whether to perform the preset operation according to the priority of the first transmission object and the priority of the measurement interval, for example, when the priority of the first transmission object is high priority, and / or when the priority of the measurement interval meets certain conditions (for example, the priority value is greater than or equal to a certain value), the terminal performs the preset operation, otherwise the preset operation is not performed

[0417] 4) When the first transmission object includes PUSCH and the PUSCH satisfies a first condition, perform the preset operation; otherwise, do not perform the preset operation.

[0418] The first condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0419] a. The PHY priority of the PUSCH is high priority. For example, the preset operation can be performed on a CG PUSCH with a PHY priority index of 1 or a PHY priority of high priority (such as CG PUSCH of Type 1 and / or Type 2) or a PUSCH carrying SP-CSI, otherwise the preset operation is not performed.

[0420] b. The logical channel LCH priority of the PUSCH satisfies the ninth condition, wherein the ninth condition includes at least one of the conditions of being higher than a preset priority, lower than a preset priority, having the lowest priority, and having the highest priority. For example, for a CG PUSCH whose LCH priority is higher than a preset priority, the preset operation can be performed, otherwise the preset operation is not performed. The LCH of the CG PUSCH can be determined based on semi-static configuration information. For example, when a CG PUSCH corresponds to multiple LCHs, whether to perform the preset operation can be determined based on the corresponding lowest / highest LCH priority. For an introduction to the LCH priority, see "Supplementary Note 1" above.

[0421] c. The PUSCH is a PUSCH that carries semi-persistent channel state information (CSI, SP-CSI), and the CSI carried satisfies the tenth condition. For example, the tenth condition includes that the priority corresponding to the CSI is less than or equal to a certain threshold, or that the priority corresponding to the CSI is greater than or equal to a certain threshold. If a priority value is used to represent the priority corresponding to the CSI, the larger the priority value, the lower the priority corresponding to the CSI. The priority value corresponding to the CSI can be determined by protocol pre-definition or network device indication.

[0422] d. The PUSCH is in the first transmission timing TO. For example, the first TO is the first timing or the first valid timing in a transmission cycle, or the UCI does not indicate an unused transmission timing.

[0423] e. The transmission period of the PUSCH satisfies the eleventh condition. For example, the eleventh condition includes: the transmission period of the PUSCH is greater than or equal to a certain duration, or the transmission period of the PUSCH is less than or equal to a certain duration. The length of the certain duration can be determined by a network device indication or a protocol predefined method.

[0424] f. The PUSCH is configured with a repetition number, the redundancy version (RV) corresponding to the PUSCH is a specified RV (such as RV0), and the repetition number is greater than 1.

[0425] g. The PUSCH is configured with a repetition number, the PUSCH corresponds to a specific transmission in the repeated transmission, such as the first repetition, and the repetition number is greater than 1.

[0426] h. The PUSCH is in a specific service cell (i.e., the target service cell is a specific service cell). For example, the PUSCH is located in a service cell set (set) C1 to which the spacing mechanism or scheduling availability / restriction provision is applied, or a cell in the same frequency band as C1, or a different frequency band in the same frequency domain range as C1 (for example, the frequency band corresponding to C1 belongs to the same frequency band pair), or a cell in the same frequency domain range as C1 (such as FR1 or FR2, see "Supplementary Note 2" above for details).

[0427] 5) When the first transmission object includes PUCCH and the PUCCH satisfies a second condition, perform the preset operation; otherwise, do not perform the preset operation.

[0428] The second condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0463] Exemplarily, the indication of the terminal device may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: whether a transmission occasion (TO) of a physical uplink data channel PUSCH is used.

[0464] On this basis, in the determination module 701, determining whether to perform a preset operation in the target time domain based on a preset manner may include:

[0465] In a case where the terminal device indicates that at least one TO of the PUSCH is unused, the at least one TO in the target time domain does not perform the preset operation;

[0466] In a case where the terminal device does not indicate that at least one TO of the PUSCH is not used, the at least one TO in the target time domain performs the preset operation.

[0467] For example, the terminal device may indicate whether one or some transmission opportunities of the CG PUSCH are used through UCI (e.g., UTO-UCI). If the UTO-UCI indicates that one or some CG PUSCH transmission opportunities are unused, the preset operation is not performed in the target time domain corresponding to the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity (e.g., the MG overlapping with the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity time domain); if the UTO-UCI does not indicate that one or some CG PUSCH transmission opportunities are unused, the preset operation is performed in the target time domain corresponding to the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity (e.g., the MG overlapping with the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity time domain).

[0468] Optionally, if the terminal device corresponding to the first transmission object is configured with a first discontinuous reception (DRX), and the first transmission object is in the activation time of the first DRX, or the first transmission object overlaps with the activation time of the first DRX, wherein the first DRX includes at least one of connected DRX (DRX) and cell DRX (DRX), and the target service cell belongs to the DRX group corresponding to the first DRX or the service cell corresponding to the cell DRX, then the preset operation is performed. For example, during the operation of drx-OnDurationTimer, drx-IactivityTimer, DRX retransmission timer (e.g., drx-RetransmissionTimerDL, drx-RetransmissionTimerUL), the preset operation is performed.

[0470] Optionally, it is determined that the target time domain for performing the preset operation satisfies a preset condition, wherein the preset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0471] 1) The target time domain is not used for the fourth purpose or the first scenario, wherein the fourth purpose or the first scenario is specified by a protocol or configured by high-level signaling. For example, the first purpose may include at least one of resource connection and monitoring (RLM) and bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD).

[0472] 2) The target time domain is only used for the fifth purpose or the second scenario, wherein the fifth purpose or the second scenario is specified by the protocol or configured by high-level signaling. For example, the fifth purpose may include at least one of intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement and positioning.

[0473] 3) The priority of the target time domain meets the preset requirements, for example, the preset requirements include: the absolute priority is lower than the preset priority, and / or the relative priority is lower than the priority of the transmission object, etc. The purpose of setting the preset condition is to allow the preset operation to be performed only for the target time domain with a lower or sufficiently low priority, so as to avoid affecting the use of the target time domain for higher priority or more important functions as much as possible.

[0474] 4) If the terminal device corresponding to the first transmission object is configured with a first discontinuous reception DRX, the target time domain is in the activation time of the first DRX, or the target time domain overlaps with the activation time of the first DRX, wherein the first DRX includes at least one of connected DRX (DRX) and cell DRX (DRX), and the target service cell belongs to the DRX group corresponding to the first DRX, or the target service cell and the CDRX are in the same service cell. Optionally, the terminal device is instructed (for example, by DCI format 2_6 indication, or by LP-WUS signal) to wake up during the cell DRX duration (onDuration).

[0475] 5) If the terminal device corresponding to the first transmission object is configured with discontinuous reception DRX or discontinuous transmission DTX in the target service cell, the target time domain is in the activation time of the cell DRX or the cell DTX, or the target time domain overlaps with the activation time of discontinuous reception DRX or discontinuous transmission DTX.

[0476] 6) The period or length of the window meets the preset requirements, for example, the period is not longer than a preset threshold, and / or the length is not shorter than a preset threshold, etc. The preset threshold here can be specified by the protocol or configured by high-level signaling.

[0477] Currently, it is temporarily assumed that symbols with scheduling restrictions do not involve concepts such as period and length.

[0478] Exemplarily, the preset operation may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0479] 1) Relax, remove, override or ignore scheduling restrictions within the first set of symbols (Relax / disable / override / ignore scheduling restrictions during a set of symbols).

[0481] Symbols in one or more windows or window groups;

[0485] A symbolic set of scheduling restrictions.

[0486] The definitions of window, window group, time period / time sub-segment, duration / extended duration corresponding to transmission can be specifically described in the above description. For example, the window can be GapWindow, or, for the NCSG mechanism, the window here can be Figure 3 ML, etc.; there is a set of symbols with scheduling restrictions, please refer to the corresponding description in the scheduling availability / restriction regulations above.

[0487] Here, relaxing, removing, covering or ignoring the scheduling constraints in the first symbol set can be understood as the following a or b:

[0488] a. Turn off / remove the scheduling restriction corresponding to the first symbol set, so that channels / signals that were not allowed to be sent / received before the turn off / removal are allowed to be sent / received within this symbol set, for example, the terminal receives and sends in these symbols according to the base station configuration or scheduling;

[0489] b. Partially close / remove the scheduling restrictions corresponding to the first symbol set, so that channels / signals that were not allowed to be sent or received before closing / removing and meet corresponding conditions (see the description of preset rules above for details) are allowed to be sent or received within this symbol set.

[0490] 2) Skip, remove, override or ignore gap opportunities (Skip / disable / override / ignore Gapoccasion(s));

[0491] The interval opportunity can be understood as the (single) interval window corresponding to a certain interval mechanism in NR after configuration / activation. For the NCSG mechanism, the interval opportunity here can be Figure 3 The window consisting of VIL1, ML and VIL2 shown, or only Figure 3 The time portion of at least one of VIL1, VIL2 and ML.

[0492] The skipping, removing, overwriting or ignoring here can be understood as closing / removing the sending and receiving restrictions within the interval opportunity (that is, treating this interval opportunity as invalid, or treating this interval opportunity as not existing), or closing / removing the sending and receiving restrictions within the interval opportunity for the reception / transmission that meets certain conditions (see the description of the preset rules above for details) (that is, only for the reception / transmission that meets certain conditions, this interval opportunity is treated as invalid, or treated as not existing).

[0493] 3) Skip, remove, cover or ignore measurement during a set of symbols or gap occasion(s); Skip, remove, cover or ignore here can be understood as turning off / removing the measurement that may be required before. The second symbol set is similar to the first symbol set mentioned above.

[0494] 4) Adjusting the interval pattern parameters, wherein the interval pattern parameters include at least one of the interval period length, the interval length, and the interval offset. For example, adjusting the interval pattern parameters may include extending / shortening the interval period, adjusting the value of the parameter mgrp, adjusting the value of the parameter gapOffset, and adjusting the value of the parameter mgl, etc.

[0495] 5) receiving or sending the first transmission object normally without being subject to the transmission and reception restriction (i.e., without transmission and reception restriction);

[0496] 6) Receive or send a second transmission object (i.e., send or receive a specific channel / signal), the second transmission object is specified by the protocol or indicated by the network device. For example, the second transmission object may include LP-WUS, a high priority transmission object (e.g., PUSCH or PUCCH with a PHY priority of 1, or PRACH\PUCCH, a search space configured for detecting CSS, etc.).
