[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, "pre-defined" may be implemented by pre-storing corresponding codes, tables, or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in a device (e.g., a terminal device or a network device). The present application does not limit the specific implementation method. For example, pre-defined may refer to information defined in a protocol.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the "protocol" may refer to a standard protocol in the communication field, for example, it may include an LTE protocol, an NR protocol, and related protocols used in future communication systems, and this application does not limit this.

[0048] Before introducing the embodiments of this application, we first introduce the relevant technologies

[0049] In the NR system, the network device can send measurement configuration information to the connected terminal device through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. The terminal device performs measurements (for example, intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and inter-RAT measurement) according to the content of the measurement configuration information, and then reports the measurement results to the network device.

[0050] Optionally, the measurement configuration information includes the following content:

[0051] 1. Measurement Object (MO)

[0052] For intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements, each measurement object indicates the time-frequency position and subcarrier spacing of the reference signal to be measured, as well as the cell associated with the measurement object. Optionally, the network device may also be configured with a cell offset list, a blacklist cell list, and a whitelist cell list.

[0053] For inter-RAT measurements, each measurement object can correspond to a single Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) frequency and the cell associated with that E-UTRA frequency. Optionally, the network device can also be configured with a cell offset list, a blacklist cell list, and a whitelist cell list.

[0054] During event evaluation and measurement reporting, the terminal device does not perform any operations on cells in the blacklist cell list. The terminal device performs event evaluation and measurement reporting on cells in the whitelist cell list.

[0055] For each measurement object, the network device configures a synchronization block measurement timing configuration (SS / PBCH block measurement timing configuration, SMTC) to indicate the time when the terminal device receives the synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB) on the neighboring cell corresponding to the measurement object.

[0056] Optionally, the SMTC configuration includes an SMTC period, a start time offset of the SMTC within a period (ie, an SMTC offset), a duration of the SMTC, and the like.

[0057] In some embodiments, the SMTC configuration can support a period of {5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160} milliseconds and a window length (i.e., duration) of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ms. Accordingly, the offset of each SMTC is strongly correlated with the period and takes a value of {0, ..., period-1}.

[0058] 2. Reporting Configuration

[0059] Each measurement object corresponds to one or more reporting configurations.

[0060] Optionally, the reporting configuration may include, for example:

[0061] Reporting criteria: the triggering conditions for the terminal device to perform measurement reporting, for example, periodic triggering reporting or event triggering reporting.

[0062] Reference Signal (RS) type: RS used by the terminal device for beam and cell measurement, for example, it can be a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SS / PBCH block) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0063] Reporting format: The terminal device reports the measurement quantity for each cell and each beam (for example, Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)). Optionally, it may also include other relevant information, such as the maximum number of cells reported by the terminal device and the maximum number of beams reported for each cell.

[0064] 3. Measurement Identity

[0065] A separate ID is used to associate a measurement object with a reporting configuration. When a measurement object is associated with multiple reporting configurations, or a reporting configuration can be associated with multiple measurement objects, the measurement identifier is used to distinguish them.

[0066] 4. Measurement interval (MG)

[0067] Time information used to instruct the terminal device to perform intra-frequency, inter-frequency, or inter-RAT measurements. Specifically, the terminal device performs intra-frequency, inter-frequency, or inter-RAT measurements during MG.

[0068] The network device may configure a per-UE (per UE) measurement interval configuration or a per-frequency band (per FR) measurement interval configuration for the terminal device. When configuring a per-FR measurement interval configuration, the network device may configure measurement interval configurations corresponding to FR1 and FR2, respectively, where FR1 and FR2 represent different frequency bands.

[0069] Optionally, each measurement interval configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0070] Gap pattern id, measurement gap length (MGL), measurement gap repetition period (MGRP), and gag offset.

[0071] In some scenarios, a measurement gap sharing (MG sharing) mechanism is introduced to enable the sharing of measurement MGs between intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements. For example, MG sharing is designed to coordinate MGs between intra-frequency MOs and inter-frequency MOs in NR systems.

[0072] If the two parties sharing MG resources want to share the measurement MG, they also need to determine how to share the measurement MG, such as the proportion of sharing.

[0073] In some scenarios, for sharing of MGs between different types of measurements, a gap sharing mechanism (measGapSharingScheme) may be configured by the network device to indicate the respective sharing ratios of the two parties sharing the MG.

[0074] In some implementations, the configuration of measGapSharingScheme may include: gap Sharing FR1, gap Sharing FR2, and gap Sharing UE.

[0075] Table 1

[0076] measGapSharingSchemeX value (%) 00 average 012510501175

[0077] As shown in Table 1, measGapSharingScheme can have four values, where each value corresponds to a respective value of X, where the value of X is used to indicate the proportion of MG resources occupied by the first party of the two parties sharing the MG resources.

[0078] For example, when a terminal device operates in SA mode, the two parties sharing MG resources are the MO for NR intra-frequency measurement and the MO for NR inter-frequency measurement. Assuming that the network device is configured with measGapSharingScheme set to 01, the MO for NR intra-frequency measurement can occupy 25% of the GAP resources, and the MO for NR inter-frequency measurement can occupy 75% of the GAP resources.

[0079] For another example, when the network device is configured with a measGapSharingScheme value of 00, it means that each MO of each measurement type needs to share the MG resources equally.

[0080] In some scenarios, the length of measurement time to be scaled may also be determined by X. For example, the length of measurement time to be scaled may be determined according to the following formulas 1 and 2:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] Among them, K intra K is the measurement time length that needs to be scaled after measuring MG according to the same frequency type. inter It is the measurement time length that needs to be scaled after the MG is converted according to the inter-frequency type measurement.

[0084] For example, if the value of measGapSharingScheme is 01, indicating that the value of X is 25, then the same-frequency measurement occupies 25% of the MG resources. According to the above formula 1, K can be determined. intra If the value of X is 4, it means that the measurement time of the same-frequency measurement is extended by 4 times; and if the value of X is 25, it means that the different-frequency measurement occupies 75% of the MG resources. According to the above formula 2, K can be determined. inter If it is 4 / 3, it means that the measurement time of the same-frequency measurement is extended by 4 / 3 times.

[0085] In SA scenarios, the MG sharing mechanism is designed to coordinate MG resource allocation between MOs performing same-frequency measurements and MOs performing inter-frequency measurements. However, in practice, scenarios are complex and diverse. For example, different network operators have different network deployments, different frequency and spectrum plans, and different bearer networks for special services such as voice. This requires prioritizing certain measurements, such as LTE network measurements in EN-DC mode. In these situations, how to share MG resources is a pressing issue.

[0086] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0087] FIG2 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 200 may be executed by a terminal device in the communication system shown in FIG1 . As shown in FIG2 , the method 200 includes the following contents:

[0088] S210: The terminal device receives measurement configuration information, where the measurement configuration information is used to configure a measurement interval, interval sharing information, and at least one measurement object, where the interval sharing information is used to indicate a proportion of a measurement interval occupied by a group of measurement objects, where the group of measurement objects includes M groups, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and each group includes one or more measurement objects.

[0089] S220: The terminal device performs measurement on the at least one measurement object within the measurement interval according to the interval sharing information.

[0090] For example, according to the group to which the at least one measurement object belongs and the interval sharing information, the proportion of the measurement interval occupied by the at least one measurement object is determined; according to the proportion of the measurement interval occupied by the at least one measurement object, measurement is performed on the at least one measurement object in the measurement interval.

[0091] It should be understood that the present application does not limit the specific configuration method of the measurement interval, interval sharing information and at least one measurement object. For example, it can be configured through one signaling, or it can be configured through multiple signalings.

[0092] It should be understood that this application does not limit the configuration granularity of the measurement interval. For example, the measurement interval can be terminal device granularity, frequency band granularity, network control small gap (NCSG) granularity, or band combination granularity.

[0093] That is, the MG in the embodiment of the present application may be an MG per UE, an MG per FR, an MG per NCSG, or an MG per band combination.

[0094] In some embodiments, the measurements include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0095] Synchronization Signal Block (SSB)-based measurement, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS)-based measurement, Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and channel occupancy measurement, PRS measurement.

[0096] In some embodiments, the interval sharing information includes N bits, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0097] Optionally, the gap sharing information may be indication information of a measurement gap sharing mechanism (measGapSharingScheme).

[0098] Alternatively, N may be 2.

[0099] In some embodiments, the terminal device supports operating in a dual connection mode, or in other words, the terminal device supports the dual connection mode. The dual connection mode may also be replaced by a multi-connection mode.

[0100] For example, the terminal device supports E-UTRA and NR dual connectivity (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, EN-DC) mode, NR and E-UTRA dual connectivity (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, NE-DC) mode, and NR and NR dual connectivity (NR-NR Dual Connectivity, NR-DC) mode.

[0101] In some embodiments, the NR-DC mode includes at least one of the following:

[0102] In the first NR-DC mode, the frequency band of the dual connections in the first NR-DC mode is FR1;

[0103] The second NR-DC mode: the frequency bands of the dual connections in the second NR-DC mode are both FR2;

[0104] The third NR-DC mode: the frequency bands of the dual connections in the third NR-DC mode are FR1 and FR2.

[0105] In some embodiments, the at least one measurement object is a measurement object in a dual connectivity mode.

[0106] In some embodiments, the grouping of the measurement objects includes M groups, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and each group includes one or more measurement objects. That is, the measurement objects are divided into at least two groups.

[0107] In some embodiments, the M groups are predefined or configured by the network device.

[0108] In some embodiments, the measurement type corresponding to MO in the M groups includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: same-frequency measurement, different-frequency measurement, different-RAT measurement, and positioning reference signal (PRS) measurement.

[0109] In some embodiments, the measurement types corresponding to MO in the M groups include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0110] NR same-frequency measurement, NR inter-frequency measurement, E-UTRA inter-frequency measurement, Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) inter-RAT measurement, GSM inter-RAT measurement, Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) measurement, PRS measurement.

[0111] That is, the MO in the M groups includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0112] NR same-frequency MO, NR different-frequency MO, E-UTRA different-frequency MO, UTRA different-RAT MO, GSM different-RAT MO, RSTD MO, PRS.

[0113] In some embodiments, the M groups may be divided according to at least one of the following information:

[0114] Measurement type corresponding to MO, cell group corresponding to MO, frequency band corresponding to MO, frequency band list corresponding to MO, and frequency band combination corresponding to MO.

[0115] For example, the measurement types corresponding to the MOs in each of the M groups are the same, and the measurement types corresponding to the MOs in different groups are different.

[0116] For another example, the cell groups corresponding to the MO in each of the M groups are the same, and the cell groups corresponding to the MO in different groups are different.

[0117] In some embodiments, the network operator can flexibly set the grouping of MOs according to the desired measurement priority or service requirements, so as to preferentially perform the desired measurements and meet the service requirements.

[0118] In some embodiments, the M groups include a first group and a second group, and the measurement types corresponding to the MOs in the first group and the second group are the same or different. That is, the types of the MOs in the first group and the second group can be the same or different.

[0119] Exemplarily, the MOs in the first group and the second group are both same-frequency MOs.

[0120] Exemplarily, the MOs in the first group are same-frequency MOs, and the MOs in the second group include different-frequency MOs and / or different-RAT MOs.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first group includes measurement objects in a master cell group (MCG) or a first cell group or a first band list, and the second group includes measurement objects in a secondary cell group (SCG) or a second cell group or a second band list.

[0122] In a specific example, the first group may include MOs in an MCG, and the second group may include MOs in an SCG. By grouping MOs according to whether they belong to an MCG or an SCG, it is beneficial to allocate different sharing ratios to MOs in an MCG group or an SCG group in a DC scenario, thereby achieving the effect of preferentially measuring MOs in a certain CG. For example, when preferentially measuring MOs in an MCG, a larger sharing ratio is configured for the first group, and when preferentially measuring MOs in an SCG, a larger sharing ratio is configured for the second group.

[0123] In another specific example, the first group may include MOs in the first cell group, and the second group may include MOs in the second cell group. By grouping MOs according to cell groups, it is advantageous to assign different sharing ratios to MOs in different cell groups, thereby achieving the effect of preferentially measuring MOs in a certain cell group. For example, when preferentially measuring MOs in the first cell group, a larger sharing ratio is configured for the first group, and when preferentially measuring MOs in the second cell group, a larger sharing ratio is configured for the second group.

[0124] In another specific example, the first group may include MOs in the first frequency band list, and the second group may include MOs in the second frequency band list. By grouping MOs according to the frequency band lists, it is advantageous to assign different sharing ratios to MOs in different frequency band lists, thereby achieving the effect of preferentially measuring MOs in a certain frequency band list. For example, when preferentially measuring MOs in the first frequency band list, a larger sharing ratio is configured for the first group, and when preferentially measuring MOs in the second frequency band list, a larger sharing ratio is configured for the second group.

[0125] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, MOs can be grouped based on multiple grouping methods, providing network operators with higher flexibility, thereby meeting the network operators' diverse needs for measurement priority and meeting flexible business needs.

[0126] In some embodiments, the MOs in the first group and the second group belong to the same frequency band, for example, both belong to the first frequency band FR1, or both belong to the second frequency band FR2.

[0127] In some embodiments, the MOs in the first group and the second group belong to the same frequency band list, for example, belong to a first frequency band list (bandlist), or both belong to a second frequency band list (bandlist).

[0128] In some embodiments, the MOs in the first group and the second group belong to the same frequency band combination, for example, the first frequency band combination, or both belong to the second frequency band combination.

[0129] In some embodiments, the MOs in the first group and the second group belong to different frequency bands.

[0130] For example, the MOs in the first group belong to FR1, and the MOs in the second group belong to FR2; or, the MOs in the first group belong to FR2, and the MOs in the second group belong to FR1.

[0131] In some embodiments, the MOs in the first group and the second group belong to different frequency band lists.

[0132] For example, the MOs in the first group belong to the first frequency band list, and the MOs in the second group belong to the second frequency band list; or, the MOs in the first group belong to the second frequency band list, and the MOs in the second group belong to the first frequency band list.

[0133] In some embodiments, the MOs in the first group and the second group belong to different frequency band combinations.

[0135] Optionally, the first frequency band list may include FR1, and the second frequency band list may include FR2.

[0136] In some embodiments, MOs configured on the terminal device may be grouped, while unconfigured MOs may not be grouped, for example, grouped according to the measurement type corresponding to the MO.

[0137] Optionally, the configured MO may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0138] Intra-frequency MO, inter-frequency MO, inter-RAT MO, and PRS measurement.

[0139] For example, if the configured MOs only include intra-frequency MOs, the configured intra-frequency MOs may be grouped.

[0149] Optionally, if it is necessary to preferentially measure the MOs in the first group, the first group may be configured to occupy a larger proportion of the measurement interval, for example, greater than 50%.

[0153] That is, in the MR-DC mode, the terminal device shares the MG to perform measurement on at least one MO according to the interval sharing information.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first capability information is used to determine whether the terminal device supports performing measurements on at least one measurement object according to the shared measurement interval according to interval sharing information in multiple dual connectivity modes.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first capability information indicates, via a bitmap, whether the terminal device supports performing measurements on at least one measurement object according to a shared measurement interval based on interval sharing information in multiple dual connectivity modes.

[0161] The third NR-DC mode: the frequency bands of the dual connections in the third NR-DC mode are FR1 and FR2.

[0164] The terminal device performs measurement on the at least one measurement object according to the first capability information and / or interval sharing information.

Optionally, the at least one measurement object may be at least one MO in a dual-connection mode, where the dual-connection mode may be the dual-connection mode of the above example.

[0166] For example, based on the interval sharing information, measurements are performed on at least one MO in the NR-DC mode.

[0167] For another example, according to the interval sharing information, measurement is performed on at least one MO in the NE-DC mode.

[0168] For another example, according to the interval sharing information, measurement is performed on at least one MO in the EN-DC mode.

[0169] For another example, based on the interval sharing information, measurement is performed on at least one MO in at least one dual connectivity mode of the NR-DC mode, NE-DC mode, and EN-DC mode.

[0171] If the first capability information indicates that the terminal device does not support sharing the measurement interval according to the interval sharing information to perform measurement on at least one measurement object, the measurement interval is shared in an equal manner to perform measurement on the at least one measurement object.

[0172] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, by grouping MOs and further configuring the ratio of group shared measurement intervals through interval sharing information, network operators are provided with higher flexibility, and measurements under any desired RAT are prioritized to meet flexible mobile service needs.

[0173] Moreover, by indicating the various sharing ratios of the measurement interval occupied by the groups of the measurement objects through the interval sharing information, it is possible to configure the measurement priorities of various requirements through the sharing ratios to perform mobility measurements on each measurement object, thereby effectively meeting the diverse requirements of various networks or operators for measurement priorities.
