Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of wireless technology, and particularly relates to a measurement method, apparatus, communication device, and readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In related technologies, when a terminal performs adjacent frequency / adjacent cell measurement, it usually requires a measurement gap (MG). During the measurement gap length (MGL) of this measurement gap, the terminal disconnects from the current serving frequency point and tunes to the target reference symbol position for measurement. Since how the terminal measures within the measurement gap is implemented by the terminal, the network does not schedule the terminal within the measurement gap. In this case, due to different terminal processing capabilities, for example, some terminals with stronger capabilities require fewer sampling numbers, resulting in the terminal not performing measurement in some measurement gaps. These unused measurement gaps can actually be scheduled by the network, but since the network does not have relevant information on how the terminal measures, the network will not schedule the terminal in these idle measurement gaps, which will lead to unnecessary throughput loss. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of this application is to provide a measurement method, apparatus, communication device, and readable storage medium to solve the problem of unnecessary throughput loss caused by the measurement method in related technologies.

[0026] The measurement methods, devices, communication devices, and readable storage media provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0027] Please refer toFigure 1 , Figure 1 is a flowchart of a measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method is applied to a terminal. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0028] Step 11: The terminal sends the first information to the network-side device and / or receives the second information sent by the network-side device.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, the first information is information related to measurement, and the second information is information related to measurement.

[0030] Optionally, the solution in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to services such as Extended Reality (XR).

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, by means of the measurement-related information reported by the terminal to the network-side device through the first information, the network-side device can determine whether data scheduling can be performed within certain measurement intervals, and then can use the measurement intervals not used by the terminal for measurement for data scheduling, thereby reducing throughput loss and improving system performance. For example, usually the protocol stipulates that the maximum number of samples required for the terminal to complete the measurement of a frequency point is at most P (if it is measurement based on measurement intervals, that is, at most P measurement intervals), but a terminal with stronger capabilities may only need Q (Q < P) samples; at this time, by reporting the information of Q samples to the network-side device through the first information, the network-side device can perform data scheduling within (P - Q) measurement intervals, reducing throughput loss. Data scheduling may include: the terminal sending a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), and / or a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), and / or the terminal receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and / or a Phase-tracking Reference Signal (TRS).

[0032] In addition, by receiving the second information sent by the network-side device, the terminal can perform data transmission and reception within the indicated measurement intervals and perform measurements within the unindicated measurement intervals, thereby reducing throughput loss and improving system performance.

[0033] Optionally, the first information includes at least one of the following: the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs), and the number of SSB Measurement Timing Configurations (SMTCs).

[0034] Optionally, the number of measurement intervals is the number of measurement intervals required for terminal measurement; the number of samples is the number of samples required for terminal measurement; the number of SSBs is the number of SSBs required for terminal measurement; the number of SMTCs is the number of SMTCs required for terminal measurement. The number of measurement intervals required for terminal measurement can be described as the number of measurement intervals required for the terminal to complete the measurement, and can be understood as the number of measurement intervals required to meet the measurement accuracy requirements. The number of samples required for terminal measurement can be described as the number of samples required for the terminal to complete the measurement, and can be understood as the number of samples required to meet the measurement accuracy requirements. The number of SSBs required for terminal measurement can be described as the number of SSBs required for the terminal to complete the measurement, and can be understood as the number of SSBs required to meet the measurement accuracy requirements. The number of SMTCs required for terminal measurement can be described as the number of SMTCs required for the terminal to complete the measurement, and can be understood as the number of SMTCs required to meet the measurement accuracy requirements.

[0035] As an alternative implementation, the first information includes the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of SSBs, and / or the number of SMTCs required for frequency range FR1 (frequency range 1) measurement, and the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of SSBs, and / or the number of SMTCs required for completing FR2 (frequency range 2) measurement.

[0036] As another alternative implementation, the first information includes at least one of the following: the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of SSBs, and / or the number of SMTCs required for co-frequency measurement; the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of SSBs, and / or the number of SMTCs required for inter-frequency measurement; the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of SSBs, and / or the number of SMTCs required for inter-system measurement.

[0037] As another alternative implementation, the first information includes information in the frequency point dimension, such as: the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of SSBs, and / or the number of SMTCs required for measurement of the first frequency point, the number of measurement intervals, the number of samples, the number of SSBs, and / or the number of SMTCs required for measurement of the second frequency point, and so on.

[0038] Optionally, the measurement interval in the embodiments of the present application can be configured by Radio Resource Control (RRC), and can include a measurement interval period, a measurement interval length, an offset, etc.

[0039] Optionally, the first information may include at least one of the following:

[0040] An indication information indicating that the measurement is completed within the measurement interval length;

[0041] An indication information indicating that the measurement starts within the measurement interval length.

[0042] It can be understood that in the prior art, the network does not schedule data within the Measurement Gap Length (MGL), because within the measurement interval length, how the terminal performs the measurement is implemented by the terminal, and the network can only not perform data scheduling throughout the measurement interval length. However, since the same set of measurement interval configurations is used for the measurement of multiple frequency points (or described as measurement targets), and the duration of the reference symbols of different frequency points is different, in order to measure as many frequency points as possible, the measurement interval length is set according to the longest reference symbol duration. This results in that for a frequency point with a shorter reference symbol duration, when the terminal measures it, it does not need to fully occupy the measurement interval length. Through the indication information of measurement completion / start within the measurement interval length in this solution, the terminal can dynamically indicate whether the network can perform data scheduling in a partial area within the measurement interval length, and can dynamically indicate that in other time periods outside the actual start and / or end positions of the measurement within the measurement interval length, the terminal can still accept network scheduling to perform data transmission and reception, thereby reducing the throughput loss.

[0043] Optionally, within the measurement interval length, the terminal may send the first information carrying the indication information of measurement completion / start within the measurement interval length.

[0044] As an optional implementation manner, if the first information includes the indication information of measurement completion within the measurement interval length, then within the remaining measurement interval length after sending the first information, the network can schedule the terminal. If the first information includes the indication information of measurement start within the measurement interval length, then before receiving the fourth information within the measurement interval length, the network can schedule the terminal.

[0045] Optionally, the measurement method in the embodiments of the present application may further include at least one of the following:

[0046] Within the measurement interval length after the sending time of the indication information of measurement completion, the terminal sends PUCCH, PUSCH, and / or SRS;

[0047] Within the measurement interval length after the transmission time of the indication information indicating the completion of the measurement, the terminal receives PDSCH, PDCCH, and / or TRS;

[0048] Within the measurement interval length before the transmission time of the indication information indicating the start of the measurement, the terminal transmits PUCCH, PUSCH, and / or SRS;

[0049] Within the measurement interval length before the transmission time of the indication information indicating the start of the measurement, the terminal receives PDSCH, PDCCH, and / or TRS;

[0050] Within the measurement interval length after the transmission time of the indication information indicating the completion of the measurement plus the second duration, the terminal transmits PUCCH, PUSCH, and / or SRS;

[0051] Within the measurement interval length after the transmission time of the indication information indicating the completion of the measurement plus the second duration, the terminal receives PDSCH, PDCCH, and / or TRS;

[0052] Within the measurement interval length before the transmission time of the indication information indicating the start of the measurement minus the third duration, the terminal transmits PUCCH, PUSCH, and / or SRS;

[0053] Within the measurement interval length before the transmission time of the indication information indicating the start of the measurement minus the third duration, the terminal receives PDSCH, PDCCH, and / or TRS.

[0054] It should be noted that the second duration and the third duration may be fixed durations configured in advance, agreed upon by the protocol, etc. The second duration and the third duration may be the same or different. The second duration and the third duration are introduced considering signaling transmission delay, terminal processing time, base station processing time, etc.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal may determine the first information according to at least one of the following:

[0056] The processing capability of the terminal; the processing capabilities of different terminals (such as baseband, radio frequency, etc.) are different, and the terminal may report the required number of measurement intervals, sampling numbers, SSB numbers, and / or SMTC numbers according to its own processing capability;

[0057] The channel environment where the terminal is located; among them, in a scenario with a better channel, the required number of measurement intervals, sampling numbers, SSB numbers, and / or SMTC numbers is less; while in a scenario with a worse channel, the required number of measurement intervals, sampling numbers, SSB numbers, and / or SMTC numbers increases.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal may send the first information in different situations. The sending of the first information to the network device may include at least one of the following:

[0059] 1) During the connection establishment process, the terminal sends the first information to the network device; that is, the first information may be sent during the connection establishment process;

[0060] 2) After the terminal receives the Measurement Object (MO) configuration, it sends the first information to the network device; that is, the first information may be sent after receiving the MO configuration;

[0061] 3) After the terminal receives the measurement interval configuration, it sends the first information to the network device; that is, the first information may be sent after receiving the measurement interval configuration.

[0062] Optionally, different methods may be used to trigger the reporting of the first information. The sending of the first information to the network device may include at least one of the following:

[0063] (1) The terminal sends the first information to the network device according to a network request; that is, the terminal may send the first information to the network device after receiving the network request;

[0064] (2) The terminal independently sends the first information to the network device; for example, as the channel state changes and the number of samples required for the terminal's measurement changes, the terminal may send updated first information at this time.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present application, the second information may include at least one of the following:

[0066] The measurement interval for the terminal to perform measurements;

[0067] The measurement interval for the terminal to send PUCCH, PUSCH, or SRS;

[0068] The measurement interval for the terminal to receive PDSCH, PDCCH, or TRS;

[0069] The usage pattern of the measurement interval.

[0070] Optionally, the second information may include the index of the measurement interval for the terminal to perform measurements, and this index may be described as a number, and the number may be the numbers of multiple measurement intervals within a period of time.

[0071] It should be noted that for the measurement interval indicated by the second information to perform measurement, the terminal does not need to perform data reception / transmission within this measurement interval (or it can be described that the network does not perform scheduling), that is, the terminal may disconnect from the serving cell and tune to other frequency points for measurement. For the measurement interval indicated by the second information to perform PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS transmission, the terminal does not perform measurement within this measurement interval, that is, the terminal needs to maintain the connection with the serving cell. For the measurement interval indicated by the second information to perform PDSCH / PDCCH / TR reception, the terminal does not perform measurement within this measurement interval, that is, the terminal needs to maintain the connection with the serving cell.

[0072] Optionally, the second information may include at least one of the following:

[0073] The measurement interval during which the terminal performs measurement within the first time;

[0074] The measurement interval during which the terminal transmits PUCCH, PUSCH or SRS within the first time;

[0075] The measurement interval during which the terminal receives PDSCH, PDCCH or TRS within the first time;

[0076] The usage pattern of the measurement interval within the first time.

[0077] Wherein, the first time may include at least one of the following:

[0078] The time for detecting the Primary Synchronisation Signal (PSS) or the Secondary Synchronisation Signal (SSS);

[0079] The time for obtaining the SSB index;

[0080] The time for measurement;

[0081] The first duration; the first duration may be a fixed duration such as pre-configured, protocol-agreed, etc., and may be optionally at least one of 120 milliseconds, 200 milliseconds, 400 milliseconds, 600 milliseconds, 800 milliseconds, etc.;

[0082] N times of the measurement interval period, where N is a non-zero integer.

[0083] Here, the time for the above-mentioned PSS / SSS detection, the time for obtaining the SSB index, and the time for measurement can also be collectively referred to as the cell identification time. The time for the above-mentioned PSS / SSS detection can also be described as the delay of PSS / SSS detection, and its delay length is related to the number of samples, the number of frequency points, the measurement interval period, the discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, etc. The time for obtaining the SSB index can also be described as the delay of obtaining the SSB index, and its delay length is related to the number of samples, the number of frequency points, the measurement interval period, the DRX cycle, etc. The time for the above-mentioned measurement can also be described as the delay of measurement, and its delay length is related to the number of samples, the number of frequency points, the measurement interval period, the DRX cycle, etc.

[0084] In one implementation, the network can indicate the measurement intervals that can be used for measurement within a duration T. For example, there are M measurement intervals within the duration T, and the network specifically indicates which of the M measurement intervals can be used for measurement. In this case, the terminal can only perform measurements within these indicated measurement intervals, and within the measurement intervals that are not indicated, the terminal needs to receive data scheduling.

[0085] In another implementation, the network can indicate the measurement intervals that can be scheduled within a duration T. For example, there are M measurement intervals within the duration T, and the network specifically indicates which of the M measurement intervals can be used for data scheduling. In this case, the terminal needs to perform data transmission and reception within these indicated measurement intervals, and within the measurement intervals that are not indicated, the terminal can perform measurements.

[0086] In another implementation, the usage pattern of the measurement intervals indicates which measurement intervals can be used for measurement and which measurement intervals need to receive data scheduling within a certain period of time. Assuming there are M measurement intervals within a duration T, then this pattern can be indicated using N bits, with each bit corresponding to a measurement interval. A bit with a value of "1" represents that the corresponding measurement interval can be used for measurement, and a bit with a value of "0" represents that the terminal needs to receive network scheduling within the corresponding measurement interval, that is, it cannot tune to other frequency points for measurement.

[0087] The above-mentioned duration T can be the measurement delay, which is related to the number of samples, the number of frequency points, the measurement interval period, the DRX cycle, etc., or it can be a fixed duration, such as 200 ms, 600 ms, etc., or it can be N times the measurement interval period, where N is a non-zero integer.

[0088] Optionally, the second information may include a first period, and the first period is the measurement period, which can be K times the measurement interval period (MGRP), where K is an integer.

[0089] Optionally, the first period is greater than or equal to the period of the measurement interval.

[0090] It should be noted that the period of the measurement can also be described as: the period of the measurement interval for measurement; or described as: the period of the measurement interval for the terminal to perform measurement; or described as: the period of the measurement interval used by the terminal to perform measurement; or described as: the period of the measurement interval actually used by the terminal. The period of the measurement interval for measurement is greater than the previously configured period of the measurement interval. The previously configured period of the measurement interval can be the period configured during the measurement interval configuration, and can be configured together with the measurement interval length, offset value, etc.

[0091] In this way, by sending the period of the measurement interval for measurement to the terminal, the throughput loss can be reduced and the performance can be improved. For example, when the period of the measurement interval is t1, and when the network knows that the terminal has strong capabilities and does not perform measurements at all measurement interval positions, the network can indicate / configure a period of the measurement interval actually used by the terminal, such as t2, where t2 is an integer multiple of t1. Outside the measurement interval of the T2 period, the terminal needs to receive data scheduling, thereby reducing the throughput loss.

[0092] In the embodiments of the present application, the second information can be determined according to at least one of the following:

[0093] Network load;

[0094] Downlink data packet.

[0095] Taking the downlink data packet (or described as throughput requirement) as an example, if the network has high data requirements during a certain period of time, then the network can require the terminal to receive data scheduling within the measurement interval during this period of time, that is, not to perform measurements, and instruct the terminal to perform measurements outside the measurement interval during this period of time.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a flowchart of a measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application. This method is applied to a network-side device. As Figure 2 shown, this method includes the following steps:

[0098] In the embodiments of the present application, the first information is information related to measurement, and the second information is information related to measurement.
