Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, apparatus, chip, and storage medium for measuring time configuration. Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication technologies, existing wireless communication systems provide measurement gaps (MGs) for measurement. A measurement gap is an important network optimization function in a wireless communication system. A terminal device (User Equipment, UE) can perform signal quality measurements during the measurement gap to support operations such as network performance monitoring, cell reselection, and handover. However, currently, when transmitting extended reality (XR) service data in a wireless communication system, if the transmission is during a measurement gap, the transmission will conflict with the measurement, resulting in the transmission being carried out after the measurement gap ends. There is a problem that the measurement gap has a greater impact on service data transmission.

The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this. In addition, the display interface provided in the embodiments of the present application is only an example, and the display interface can also include more or less content.

[0097] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the communication system applicable to the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail first.

[0098] Figure 1 A communication system applied to the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the communication system includes: a network device, a terminal device.

[0099] Among them, the network device and the terminal device can communicate through a wireless link. When the network device serves as a communication sending end, the terminal device can serve as a communication receiving end; when the network device serves as a communication receiving end, the terminal device can serve as a communication sending end. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the number of network devices and terminal devices included in the communication system. In addition, it should be understood that Figure 1 This is only a schematic diagram, and the communication system may further include other network devices, which are not limited in the present application and are not drawn in Figure 1 it.

[0100] The terminal device in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as: user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile platform, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device, etc.

[0101] A terminal device can be a device that provides voice / data connectivity to users. For example, it can be a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. with wireless connection capabilities. Currently, some examples of terminal devices include: mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, palmtop computers, mobile internet devices (MIDs), wearable devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, cellular phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices with wireless communication capabilities, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, terminal devices in 5G networks, or terminal devices in future evolved public land mobile networks (PLMNs), etc. This application is not limited thereto.

[0102] By way of example and not limitation, in the present application, the terminal device may be a terminal device in an Internet of Things (IoT) system. The Internet of Things is an important part of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology, thereby realizing an intelligent network of human-machine interconnection and object-object interconnection. Exemplarily, the terminal device in the embodiments of the present application may be a wearable device. A wearable device, also known as a wearable intelligent device, is a general term for devices developed by applying wearable technology to the intelligent design of daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that can be directly worn on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. A wearable device is not only a hardware device, but can also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable intelligent devices include those with complete functions and large sizes that can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on a smart phone, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to cooperate with other devices such as smart phones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for physical sign monitoring.

[0103] By way of example and not limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may also be a terminal device in machine type communication (MTC). In addition, the terminal device may also be an in-vehicle module, in-vehicle module group, in-vehicle component, in-vehicle chip, or in-vehicle unit that is built into a vehicle as one or more components or units. The vehicle can implement the method provided in the present application through the built-in in-vehicle module, in-vehicle module group, in-vehicle component, in-vehicle chip, or in-vehicle unit, etc. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to vehicle networking, such as vehicle-to-everything (V2X), long term evolution-vehicle (LTE-V), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology, etc.

[0104] The network device involved in this application can be a device that communicates with a terminal device. This network device can also be referred to as an access network device or a radio access network device. It can be a transmission reception point (TRP), or an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a home evolved NodeB, or home NodeB (HNB), a base band unit (BBU), or a radio controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario. Or this network device can be a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and a network device in a 5G network or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network, etc. It can also be an access point (AP) in a WLAN, or a gNB in an NR system. The above network device can also be an urban base station, a micro base station, a pico base station, a femto base station, etc. This application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0105] In a network structure, the network device can include a centralized unit (CU) node, or a distributed unit (DU) node, or a RAN device including a CU node and a DU node, or a RAN device including a control plane CU node (CU-CP node) and a user plane CU node (CU-UP node) and a DU node.

[0106] The network device provides services for a cell. The terminal device communicates with the cell through the transmission resources (such as frequency domain resources, or in other words, spectrum resources) allocated by the network device. This cell can belong to a macro base station (such as a macro eNB or a macro gNB, etc.), or a base station corresponding to a small cell. Here, the small cell can include: a metrocell, a micro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of a small coverage range and a low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-rate data transmission services.

[0107] Currently, a network device can configure a measurement gap (MG) for a terminal device to perform measurements. Such measurements can include, for example, inter-frequency measurements or inter-radio access technology (RAT) measurements. During the measurement gap, the terminal device stops data transmission, and the network device does not perform uplink and downlink scheduling. Therefore, using the measurement gap for network measurements affects the transmission of other service data.

[0108] Exemplarily, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a service data transmission scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the service data is XR service data. The discontinuous reception (DRX) period of the service data is 16.67 ms. The burst arrival time of the XR service data can be understood as the moment when the pre-configured terminal device sends XR service data to the network device. The period of the measurement gap for the terminal device to perform network measurements is 20 ms. In Figure 2 FIG. 1, each protruding part is a measurement gap, and the length of each protruding part is the length of the measurement gap.

[0109] If the burst arrival time 1 of the XR service data overlaps with the measurement gap 1, that is, the burst arrival time 1 is within the duration of the measurement gap 1. Therefore, the terminal device stops transmitting the XR service data within the duration of the measurement gap 1 and starts transmitting the XR service data again after the measurement gap 1 ends.

[0110] If the burst arrival time 2 of the XR service data is before the measurement gap 2, the terminal device starts transmitting the XR service data at the burst arrival time 2 and stops transmitting the XR service data when the measurement gap 2 starts. After the measurement gap 2 ends, it continues to transmit the remaining XR service data. And so on, when the terminal device starts transmitting the XR service data at the burst arrival time 3, it also needs to pause transmitting the XR service data within the duration of the measurement gap 3.

[0111] It can be seen that when the terminal device uses the measurement gap for network measurements, the transmission of other service data is affected during the duration of the measurement gap. However, if data transmission can be performed within the measurement gap, it may affect the accuracy of network measurements, thereby affecting behaviors such as cell handover of the terminal device, and further resulting in a reduction in the network environment quality where the terminal device is located. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a method that can maintain normal measurements of the terminal device while reducing the impact of the measurement gap on service data transmission and improving the user experience.

[0112] Currently, in order to reduce the impact of the measurement gap on service data transmission, it is also possible to reduce the impact of the measurement time on service data transmission by configuring multiple measurement periods with shorter lengths and intervals during the measurement period. The measurement time includes a measurement gap or SSB measurement time (SS / PBCH block measurement timing configuration, SMTC). This application takes the measurement time including the measurement gap as an example. Exemplarily, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of another service data transmission scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. As Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 there is at least one measurement period configured with multiple ( Figure 3 taking 3 as an example) measurement times with shorter lengths and intervals, so that the length of the measurement time conflicting with the transmission is smaller, reducing the overlapping area between the transmission and the measurement time, and further reducing the duration of the paused transmission, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on service data transmission.

[0113] However, although this method can reduce the impact of the measurement time on service data transmission to a certain extent, the measurement time may still have some impact on service data transmission.

[0114] In view of this, this application provides a measurement time configuration method. The network device determines the conflict information where the transmission overlaps with the measurement time according to the first indication information reported by the terminal device, and adjusts the configuration of the subsequent measurement time according to the conflict information, so as to reduce the overlapping area between the subsequent measurement time and the transmission, reduce the conflict between the measurement time and the transmission, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on the transmission and improving the user experience.

[0115] The measurement time configuration method provided by this application can be used for the configuration of the measurement gap in the foregoing Figure 2 scenario, or can also be used for the configuration of the measurement time in the foregoing Figure 3 scenario.

[0116] The measurement time configuration method of this application will be introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The execution subject of the embodiments shown in this application is the terminal device or the network device. The specific forms and quantities of the devices shown are only examples and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation of the method provided by this application.

[0117] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may be the terminal device itself, or may be a chip, a chip system or a processor that supports the terminal device to implement the data transmission method, or may also be a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the terminal device. In the embodiments of the present application, the network device may be the network device itself, or may be a chip, a chip system or a processor that supports the network device to implement the data transmission method, or may also be a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the network device. The present application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0118] Figure 4 It is a schematic flowchart of a measurement time configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the method may include:

[0119] S401. The terminal device sends a first indication message to the network device.

[0120] Correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication message from the terminal device.

[0121] Wherein, the first indication message is used to indicate the conflict information of the first measurement time, and the conflict information is used to indicate the relevant information that the first measurement time overlaps with the transmission, that is, the conflict information is used to indicate the relevant information that the time of the transmission overlaps with the first measurement time. Wherein the transmission may refer to transmitting data on the first resource.

[0122] The first indication message may only indicate the first measurement time that conflicts with the transmission time, or may indicate a second measurement time including the first measurement time. When indicating the second measurement time including the first measurement time, the second measurement time may include at least one first measurement time and at least one measurement time without conflict.

[0123] In one implementation, the conflict information may be determined by the terminal device according to the historical data of the transmission and the measurement time, or may be determined by the terminal device's prediction of the unoccurred transmission and the upcoming measurement time.

[0124] When the conflict information is determined according to historical data, the terminal device may determine whether there is an overlap between the completed transmission and the measurement time that has elapsed or has been measured, or whether the completed transmission is interrupted and paused by the elapsed measurement time (for example, the time difference can be determined based on the start time and end time of the transmission and compared with the predicted time when the transmission is not interrupted by the measurement time. If the difference between the two is greater than the preset threshold, it is considered to be interrupted by the measurement time; or when the transmission and the measurement time overlap and no data transmission is performed, in this case, it can be considered that the transmission is interrupted by the measurement gap), or whether there is an overlap between the discontinuous reception activation time of the completed transmission and the elapsed measurement time (for example, the discontinuous reception activation time and the measurement time overlap in the time domain, and in this case, it can be considered that the discontinuous reception activation time overlaps with the measurement time), etc., to determine whether there is a conflict between the transmission and the measurement time. If there is a conflict, the measurement time with the conflict is the first measurement time. The first indication information may indicate the conflict information within one measurement period, or may indicate the conflict information within multiple measurement periods, or may indicate the conflict information within a specific duration, etc. The present application does not limit this.

[0125] Exemplarily, continuing to refer to the foregoing Figure 3 , if the second measurement time within the first measurement period is the elapsed measurement time and there is an overlap between the transmission and this measurement time, then the second measurement time within the first measurement period is the first measurement time and there is a conflict between the transmission and this measurement time.

[0126] When the conflict information is determined according to the predicted result, the terminal device may determine whether there may be an overlap between the uncompleted transmission and the upcoming measurement time, or whether the uncompleted transmission may be interrupted and paused by the upcoming measurement time, or whether there may be an overlap between the discontinuous reception activation time of the uncompleted transmission and the upcoming measurement time, etc., to determine whether there will be a conflict between the transmission and the measurement time in the future. If there is a conflict, the measurement time with the conflict is the first measurement time.

[0127] Optionally, the transmission may be an uplink transmission or a downlink transmission. When the type of the service data of the transmission is an uplink transmission service, if there is an overlap between the transmission and the measurement time, or the transmission is interrupted and paused by the measurement time, then there is an overlap between the transmission and this measurement time, or it can be said that there is a conflict between the transmission and this measurement time. When the type of the service data of the transmission is a downlink transmission service, if there is an overlap between the transmission and the measurement time, or the transmission is interrupted and paused by the measurement time, or there is an overlap between the discontinuous reception activation time of the terminal device and this measurement time, then there is a conflict between the transmission and this measurement time.

[0128] Among them, the first indication information may indicate the conflict information of the first measurement time. For example, the first indication information may only indicate whether a conflict occurs in the first measurement time; or, the first indication information may indicate one or more of the following information: the number of the first measurement times, the first measurement time, the maximum number of conflicts occurring within the measurement period, etc.; or, the first indication information may indicate whether a conflict occurs in the first measurement time, and indicate one or more of the following information: the number of the first measurement times, the first measurement time, the maximum number of conflicts occurring within the measurement period, etc.

[0129] When the first indication information indicates the first measurement time, it may indicate the identifier of the first measurement time, or indicate the position of the first measurement time to determine which measurement time or times the first measurement time includes. For example, each measurement time in different measurement periods has its unique identifier, or, for multiple measurement times within a measurement period (such as Figure 3 the measurement time 1) has its unique identifier, and the identifier may be the name, number, etc. of the measurement time. For example, it may be the first measurement time, the second measurement time, etc. within the measurement period. Through the identifier of the first measurement time, it is possible to determine which measurement times are the first measurement times. For another example, the position of the first measurement time may be determined according to the number of subframes included in the first measurement time, so as to determine which measurement times are the first measurement times. When there are multiple measurement times within a measurement period, the first indication information may further indicate the measurement period to which the first measurement time belongs, and further indicate which measurement time among the multiple measurement times within the measurement period is the first measurement time, etc.

[0130] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information is the indication information indicating the conflict information. For example, a conflict information list is pre-stored in the network device, and the first indication information is used to indicate the conflict information from the conflict information list. The network device may determine the conflict information from the conflict information list according to the indication of the first indication information. Among them, the conflict information list may be generated according to the conflict information reported by the terminal device historically.

[0131] In another possible implementation manner, the content of the conflict information is included in the first indication information. The network device may directly extract the conflict information from the first indication information.

[0132] S402. The network device adjusts the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information.

[0133] Among them, the configuration of the first measurement time is used to determine the position, length, etc. of the first measurement time. The network device may adjust the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information to change the position of the first measurement time, and / or the length of the first measurement time, and / or the number of measurement times within the measurement period, so as to reduce the number of measurement times conflicting with the transmission, or change the position of the first measurement time to a position where there is no conflict with the transmission.

[0134] If the conflicting first measurement time is a measurement time that has passed or has completed measurement, the corresponding measurement time mode of this measurement time may be adjusted to adjust the configuration of subsequent measurement times with the same measurement time mode as the first measurement time, thereby reducing the situation where these subsequent measurement times conflict.

[0135] If the conflicting first measurement time is a measurement time that has not yet arrived, the corresponding measurement time mode of this measurement time may be adjusted to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time before the transmission starts, thereby reducing in advance the situation where there is a conflict with the first measurement time during subsequent transmission.

[0136] After the network device adjusts the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information, it may send the adjusted configuration of the first measurement time to the terminal device, so that the terminal device adjusts the position of the first measurement time, and / or the length of the first measurement time, and / or the number of measurement times within the measurement period according to the adjusted configuration of the first measurement time.

[0137] A possible implementation manner is that the network device may adjust the configuration of the first measurement time to change the position and / or length of the first measurement time. After the network device receives the next first indication information, it determines again whether it is necessary to continue to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time according to the change in the conflict information indicated by the next first indication information and the conflict information indicated by this first indication information. The network device can iteratively reduce the conflict between the transmission and the measurement time by repeatedly executing the above process until the content included in the conflict information indicated by the first indication information received by the network device is less than the corresponding preset conflict threshold. For example, until the conflict information indicated by the first indication information received by the network device indicates that there is no first measurement time, or the number of first measurement times included in the conflict information is less than the preset conflict quantity threshold, or the maximum number of conflicts within the measurement period is less than the preset maximum number threshold, etc.

[0138] In another possible implementation, the network device may adjust the configuration of the first measurement period to a configuration that does not conflict with the transmission based on the information of the transmission that conflicts with the first measurement time and the first measurement period indicated by the first indication information. For example, the configuration of the first measurement period may be adjusted so that the position of the first measurement period does not overlap with the position of the transmission, or the overlap between the position of the first measurement period and the position of the transmission is reduced, etc. Among them, the information of the transmission may include the position of the transmission, the transmission period, etc.

[0139] In the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device reports the first indication information for indicating the conflict information between the transmission and the measurement time to the network device by monitoring or predicting whether there is an overlap between the transmission and the measurement time. The network device adjusts the configuration of the first measurement time that overlaps with the transmission according to the conflict information indicated by the first indication information, so that the number of the first measurement times that overlap with the transmission is reduced and / or the overlap area is reduced during subsequent transmissions, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on the transmission, improving the transmission efficiency, and enhancing the user experience.

[0140] Optionally, before the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device, the network device may further send the sixth indication information for indicating the configuration information of at least two measurement times within the measurement period to the terminal device. For example, the configuration of the measurement time is as Figure 3 shown. The terminal device performs measurements according to the sixth indication information. When a conflict occurs between the measurement time and the transmission, the terminal sends the first indication information. After receiving the first indication information sent by the terminal device, the network device adjusts the configuration information of the at least two measurement times according to the first indication information, and sends the adjusted configuration information to the terminal device so that the terminal device adjusts the configuration of the at least two measurement times.

[0141] Next, taking the content in the conflict information included in the first indication information as an example, the first indication information will be introduced in detail. The first indication information may include at least one of the following: the number of the first measurement times, the first measurement time, and the maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information.

[0142] The number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that conflict with the transmission. Optionally, the first indication information indicates how many measurement times that conflict with the transmission there are within a certain duration. In one way, when the range of conflict information indicated by the first indication information only includes one measurement period, the number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that overlap with the transmission within this measurement period. In another way, when the range of conflict information indicated by the first indication information includes multiple measurement periods, in one case, the number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that overlap with the transmission within these multiple measurement periods. In another case, the number of first measurement gaps is the number of measurement times that overlap with the transmission corresponding to each measurement period of these multiple measurement periods. Therefore, the number of first measurement gaps can include one or more values. In another way, the number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that overlap with the transmission within a period of time. As mentioned above, whether to report the statistical indication information for one cycle or multiple cycles can be configured by the network side. For example, the network side configures the auxiliary information on the overlap between the transmission and measurement times for 3 cycles.

[0143] The first measurement time is a measurement time that conflicts with the transmission and can be represented, for example, by the identifier of the first measurement time. For example, each measurement time has its corresponding identifier such as a name or number. Then, the first indication information includes the identifier of the first measurement time that conflicts with the transmission. Or, the first measurement time can be determined by its position. For example, the first indication information includes the subframes occupied by the first measurement time that conflicts with the transmission and the system frame number of the system frame to which these subframes belong. Or, if the first measurement time is the measurement time that overlaps with the transmission within this measurement period, for example, it can be indicated by specifying which measurement time within this measurement period is the first measurement time. Or, if the first measurement time is the measurement time that overlaps with the transmission within these multiple measurement periods, for example, it can be indicated by specifying which measurement time within each measurement period is the first measurement time (taking the range of conflict information including two measurement periods and each measurement period including three measurement times as an example, it can be indicated that the third measurement time within measurement period 1, the first measurement time within measurement period 2, and the second measurement time within measurement period 2 are the first measurement times).

[0144] The maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information can be the total number of first measurement times in the conflict information. Or, the maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information is the total number of first measurement times corresponding to the measurement period with the most conflicts among the reported measurement periods.

[0145] Optionally, when the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information includes multiple measurement periods, in order to further determine each first measurement time, the first indication information may further include the measurement period to which each first measurement time belongs (for example, including the identifier of the measurement period), so that the network device can quickly determine the first measurement time within the measurement period according to the measurement period to which each first measurement time belongs.

[0146] Optionally, since the network device may also need to determine how to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time according to the information of the transmission conflicting with the first measurement time in the foregoing step S402, the first indication information may further include at least one of a service period, jitter information, and burst arrival time (BAT) information to determine the information of the transmission service conflicting with the first measurement time. Among them, the transmission period may indicate the position of the transmission, so that the network device can adjust the position of the first measurement time according to the position of the transmission to avoid the position of the transmission. The jitter information may indicate the jitter deviation of the transmission, so that when the network device adjusts the position of the first measurement time according to the position of the transmission, it can reserve the jitter deviation of the transmission to prevent the transmission from overlapping with the measurement time due to the jitter deviation. The BAT information is used to determine the arrival time of the first data packet of the service (for example, data burst). According to the BAT information, it can be determined whether the transmission of the service is during the measurement time, so as to determine whether there is a conflict between the transmission of the service and the measurement time.

[0147] In addition, optionally, the first indication information may indicate whether there is a conflict between the measurement time and the transmission in the form of a bitmap. In this implementation manner, the first indication information may further include a bitmap, where one bit in the bitmap corresponds to one measurement time, and the bit can represent whether there is a conflict between the measurement time and the transmission. For example, when the value of the bit is the first value, it represents that there is no conflict between the measurement time corresponding to the bit and the transmission, and when the value of the bit is the second value, it represents that there is a conflict between the measurement time corresponding to the bit and the transmission. The measurement time corresponding to the bit is the first measurement time mentioned above. Exemplarily, the first value may be 0 and the second value may be 1.

[0148] In a possible implementation manner, one bit in the bitmap corresponds to one measurement time within the transmission period. Figure 5 FIG. is a schematic diagram of a transmission conflict provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5As shown, the length of the transmission period is the same as the sum of the lengths of measurement period 1 and measurement period 2. During this transmission period, the data transmission is as shown in the figure. The transmission overlaps with the second measurement time in measurement period 1, the third measurement time in measurement period 1, and the measurement time in measurement period 2. That is, there are two measurement periods within this transmission period, with a total of four measurement times. The bitmap then includes four bit positions, and each bit position corresponds to a measurement time within the transmission period. Therefore, in this bitmap, the value of the bit position corresponding to the first measurement time in measurement period 1 is the first value 0, indicating that this measurement time does not overlap with the transmission (i.e., there is no conflict), while the values of the bit positions corresponding to the second measurement time in measurement period 1, the third measurement time in measurement period 1, and the measurement time in measurement period 2 are the second value 1, indicating that this measurement time overlaps with the transmission (i.e., there is a conflict). That is, the first measurement time indicated by the first indication information includes the second measurement time in measurement period 1, the third measurement time in measurement period 1, and the measurement time in measurement period 2.

[0149] In another possible implementation, one bit position in the bitmap corresponds to one measurement time within the measurement period. Figure 6 This is another schematic diagram of transmission conflict provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the length of the transmission period is the same as the sum of the lengths of measurement period 1 and measurement period 2. This bitmap is the bitmap corresponding to measurement period 1. Since there are three measurement times within measurement period 1, this bitmap then includes three bit positions, and each bit position corresponds to one measurement time within measurement period 1. During measurement period 1, the data transmission overlaps with the second measurement time in measurement period 1 and the third measurement time in measurement period 1. Therefore, in this bitmap, the value of the bit position corresponding to the first measurement time in measurement period 1 is the first value 0, indicating that this measurement time does not overlap with the transmission (i.e., there is no conflict), while the values of the bit positions corresponding to the second measurement time in measurement period 1 and the third measurement time in measurement period 1 are the second value 1, indicating overlap with the transmission (i.e., there is a conflict).

[0150] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application includes different conflict information in the first indication information, providing a data basis for the network device to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information, enabling the network device to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time to a configuration with less impact on the transmission according to the conflict information indicated by the first indication information, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on the transmission and improving the transmission efficiency.

[0151] Next, a detailed description will be given on how the terminal device reports the first indication information.

[0152] The terminal device may report the first indication information to the network device in a specific reporting manner. For example, the specific reporting manner is a first reporting manner including a first sub-reporting manner and / or a second sub-reporting manner. Among them, the first sub-reporting manner is used to indicate the range of conflict information indicated by the first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device, and the second sub-reporting manner is used to indicate the triggering condition for the terminal device to report the first indication information to the network device.

[0153] First, an introduction is made to the range of conflict information indicated by the first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device:

[0154] Optionally, the range of conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be the conflict information within the first preset time period. Whenever the first preset time period arrives, the terminal device indicates the conflict information included within the first preset time period to the network device through the first indication information. The first preset time period may be pre-set in the terminal device, or determined by the terminal device itself, or obtained by the terminal device from other devices in advance. When the first preset time period is obtained by the terminal device from other devices in advance, the other device may be, for example, the network device or other devices connected to the terminal device. Taking the other device as the network device as an example, the first preset time period may be obtained by the terminal device through an indication received in advance from the network device. For example, the network device may send a second indication information to the terminal device in advance, and the second indication information is used to indicate the first preset time period; or, the network device directly sends the first preset time period to the terminal device.

[0155] In this implementation manner, the first preset time period may be set by a timer. The timer may be a timer preset in the terminal device or a timer sent by the network device to the terminal device. The duration of the timer is the same as the first preset time period. Taking the timer as the one sent by the network device to the terminal device as an example, the network device may carry the timer in the second indication information and send it to the terminal device, or carry the timer in other information and send it to the terminal device, or the second indication information may indicate that the terminal device selects the corresponding timer from multiple timers preset in the terminal device, or the second indication information may indicate that the terminal device sets the duration of the timer to the second preset time period, etc. The timer may be any existing timer, and this application does not limit it. Among them, when the terminal device receives the configuration information for reporting conflict information where the transmission overlaps with the measurement time sent by the network device, the above-mentioned timer may be started, and the reporting of the first indication information is triggered when the timer times out.

[0156] Optionally, the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be the conflict information within one measurement period. That is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device only includes the conflict information between the measurement time and the transmission within one measurement period.

[0157] Optionally, the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be the conflict information within a preset number of measurement periods, where the preset number is greater than or equal to 2. That is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device includes the conflict information between the measurement time and the transmission within the preset number of measurement periods. For example, if the preset number is 3, the range of the conflict information includes the conflict information between the measurement time and the transmission within 3 measurement periods.

[0158] Optionally, the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be the conflict information within multiple measurement periods. That is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device includes the conflict information between the measurement time and the transmission within at least two measurement periods.

[0159] Optionally, the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be the conflict information within one transmission period. That is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device only includes the conflict information between the measurement time and the transmission included within one transmission period. The one transmission period may correspond to one or more measurement periods.

[0160] Optionally, the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may further include the conflict information of the first measurement period within a second preset duration, where the first measurement period may include one or more measurement periods. Herein, the first measurement period is a measurement period in which the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to a first conflict threshold, or a measurement period in which the number of conflicts is less than or equal to a second conflict threshold. In this case, the range of the conflict information includes at least 1 measurement period, and there is at least 1 measurement period in which there is a measurement time conflicting with the transmission. When the first measurement period is a measurement period in which the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to the first conflict threshold, the conflict information only includes the conflict information of the measurement periods in which the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to the first conflict threshold; when the first measurement period is a measurement period in which the number of conflicts is less than or equal to the second conflict threshold, the conflict information only includes the conflict information of the measurement periods in which the number of conflicts is less than or equal to the second conflict threshold. In this implementation manner, the first measurement period may further be the measurement period with the most conflicts, or the measurement period with the fewest conflicts.

[0161] Next, the trigger conditions for the terminal device to report the first indication information to the network device are introduced:

[0162] Whenever the trigger condition is met, the terminal device reports the first indication information to the network device once.

[0163] Optionally, the triggering condition may be that the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to a first quantity threshold (the number of conflicts may be for one or more cycles or a period of time). For example, if the first quantity threshold is 3, when the number of conflicts between the transmission and measurement times of the terminal device reaches 3 times, the terminal device reports the first indication information to the network device. The first quantity threshold may be pre-set in the terminal device, or determined by the terminal device itself, or obtained by the terminal device from other devices in advance. When the first quantity threshold is obtained by the terminal device from other devices in advance, the other device may be, for example, a network device, or other devices connected to the terminal device. Taking the other device as a network device as an example, the first quantity threshold may be obtained by the terminal device through an indication received in advance from the network device. For example, the network device may send a second indication information to the terminal device in advance, and the second indication information is used to indicate the first quantity threshold; or, the network device directly sends the first quantity threshold to the terminal device, etc.

[0164] Optionally, the triggering condition may be that there are measurement times with conflicts during the measurement period, or at least one measurement time has a conflict. That is, for each measurement period, if there are no measurement times with conflicts during the measurement period, the terminal device does not report the first indication information; if there is at least one measurement time that conflicts with the transmission during the measurement period, the terminal device reports the first indication information corresponding to the conflict information during the measurement period. In this implementation manner, the triggering condition may also be that there are a preset number of measurement times with conflicts during the measurement period. If the number of measurement times with conflicts during a measurement period is greater than or equal to the preset number, the terminal device reports the first indication information corresponding to the conflict information during the measurement period.

[0165] Optionally, the triggering condition may be that the duration reaches a first preset duration, which is the same as the first preset duration in the range of the foregoing conflict information. That is, the terminal device periodically reports the first indication information to the network device according to the first preset duration. The terminal device can also implement this implementation manner through the timer mentioned above (for example, when the timer with a duration equal to the first preset duration expires, report the first indication information to the network device), which will not be elaborated here.

[0166] Optionally, the triggering condition may be that the conflict information is different from the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information. For example, the number of first measurement times in the conflict information is different from the number of first measurement times in the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information; and / or, at least one of the first measurement times in the conflict information is different from the first measurement times in the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information; and / or, the maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information is different from the maximum number of conflicts indicated by the previous first indication information, etc. When the conflict information is different from the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information, it indicates that the conflict situation between transmission and measurement time has changed, and the network device may need to further adjust the configuration of the first measurement time according to this change.

[0167] Optionally, the first indication information may also be triggered and reported together with the measurement report reported by the terminal device to the network device. For example, when the terminal device reports a measurement report to the network device, the first indication information is reported to the network device at the same time. In this case, the first indication information may be reported independently of the measurement report, or may be included in the measurement report and reported to the network device.

[0168] For the specific configuration of the first reporting method, it may be pre-configured in the terminal device, or determined by the terminal device according to actual requirements, or sent by the network device to the terminal device.

[0169] Taking the case where the specific configuration of the first reporting method is sent by the network device to the terminal device as an example, Figure 7 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement time configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, the method may include:

[0170] S701. The network device sends configuration information for reporting the first indication information to the terminal device.

[0171] Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the configuration information for reporting the first indication information sent by the network device.

[0172] Among them, the configuration information for reporting the first indication information includes second indication information for indicating a first quantity threshold and / or a first preset duration, and / or third indication information for indicating that the terminal device reports the first indication information in a first reporting manner. Optionally, the second indication information and the third indication information may be the same indication information (for example, the configuration information for reporting the first indication information, and the configuration information includes the second indication information and the third indication information), or the second indication information and the third indication information may also be different indication information. When the second indication information and the third indication information are different indication information, the network device may send the second indication information and the third indication information to the terminal device simultaneously, or may send the second indication information and the third indication information successively. This application does not limit the sending order between the second indication information and the third indication information.

[0173] Regarding the second indication information:

[0174] A possible implementation manner is that the second indication information includes the specific configuration of the first quantity threshold and / or the first preset duration. For example, the second indication information includes the value of the first quantity threshold, and / or the value of the first preset duration. Or, the second indication information includes the value of the first quantity threshold, and / or a timer, and the duration of the timer is the same as the first preset duration. Optionally, the second indication information may further include a preset quantity, and the preset quantity is used to determine the number of measurement periods included in the range of conflict information (if the preset quantity is 2, then two measurement periods are included in the range of conflict information).

[0175] Another possible implementation manner is that the second indication information includes the identifier of the first quantity threshold and / or the first preset duration. Taking the first quantity threshold as an example, the terminal device may determine the first quantity threshold corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored first quantity threshold list according to the identifier of the first quantity threshold indicated by the second indication information. Among them, the first quantity threshold list, and / or the first preset duration may be a list preset in the terminal device, or may be a list pre-obtained and stored by the terminal device from the network device.

[0176] Regarding the third indication information:

[0177] A possible implementation manner is that the third indication information includes the specific configuration of the first reporting manner. For example, the third indication information includes the content of the first sub-reporting manner, and / or the content of the second sub-reporting manner.

[0178] Another possible implementation is that the third indication information includes an identifier of the first reporting method. The terminal device may determine, according to the identifier of the first reporting method indicated by the third indication information, the first reporting method corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored candidate reporting method list. Alternatively, the third indication information includes an identifier of the first sub-reporting method and / or an identifier of the second sub-reporting method. The terminal device may determine, according to the identifier of the first sub-reporting method indicated by the third indication information, the first sub-reporting method corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored candidate first sub-reporting method list, and / or determine, according to the identifier of the second sub-reporting method indicated by the third indication information, the second sub-reporting method corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored candidate second sub-reporting method list, and then determine the first reporting method according to the first sub-reporting method and / or the second sub-reporting method.

[0179] In this implementation, the candidate reporting method list, and / or the candidate first reporting method list, and / or the candidate second reporting method list may be a list preset in the terminal device, or a list that the terminal device pre-obtains from the network device and stores. Taking the list pre-obtained from the network device and stored as an example, the network device may pre-transmit fourth indication information to the terminal device, and the fourth indication information includes the candidate reporting method list, and / or the candidate first reporting method list, and / or the candidate second reporting method list. After obtaining the fourth indication information, the terminal device may pre-store these lists. Optionally, the network device may also, according to actual requirements, at any time cause the terminal device to update the pre-stored candidate reporting method list, and / or the candidate first reporting method list, and / or the candidate second reporting method list.

[0180] Optionally, after selecting the first reporting method from the candidate method list pre-configured in the terminal device, the terminal device may also feed back the selected first reporting method to the network device, so that the network device knows the reporting method by which the terminal device reports the first indication information.

[0181] S702. The terminal device determines a first reporting method according to the configuration information for reporting the first indication information, and obtains conflict information according to the first reporting method.

[0182] The first reporting method includes a first sub-reporting method for indicating the scope of conflict information and a second sub-reporting method for indicating the trigger condition for the terminal device to report conflict information.

[0183] S703. If the conflict information obtained by the terminal device reaches the trigger condition for reporting conflict information, the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device.

[0184] Correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information sent by the terminal device.

[0185] Among them, the first indication information is used to indicate the conflict information of the first measurement time overlapping with the transmission.

[0186] S704. The network device adjusts the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information.

[0187] The method provided in the embodiments of the present application can meet the various requirements of the network device for adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time through various ways of reporting the first indication information, so as to facilitate the network device to improve the accuracy of adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information, thereby improving the accuracy of adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time and more efficiently reducing the impact of the measurement time on the transmission.

[0188] In addition, the method provided in the present application can also indicate the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information reported by the terminal device by transmitting the corresponding service type. For example, when the transmission of a service type with a higher priority conflicts with the measurement time, the terminal device collects the conflict information and reports the corresponding first indication information to the network device; when the priority of the transmission of the corresponding service type is lower, the terminal device does not report. Or, when the transmission of a service type with a higher requirement for service delay conflicts with the measurement time, the terminal device collects the conflict information and reports the corresponding first indication information to the network device; when the requirement for service delay of the transmission of the corresponding service type is lower, the terminal device does not report, etc.

[0189] In this implementation manner, the network device can also send the fifth indication information to the terminal device to indicate the service type for which the conflict information needs to be reported. Among them, the fifth indication information can directly indicate the service type or service identifier for which the conflict information needs to be reported, or indicate the first logical channel group corresponding to the service type for which the conflict information needs to be reported to indirectly indicate the service type for which the conflict information needs to be reported.

[0190] It should be understood that the aforementioned second indication information, third indication information, fourth indication information, and fifth indication information can be four independent indication information respectively, or any at least two indication information can be fused together. When the four indication information are fused into one indication information, the sending times of the corresponding at least two indication information can be sent by the network device simultaneously or successively. The present application does not limit this.

[0191] In the method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device further determines and filters the types of services to be transmitted, and only reports the conflict information of the service types that need to report conflict information to the network device, rather than reporting all the transmitted conflict information, thereby reducing the workload of the network device for adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time, improving the efficiency of the network device for adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time, and better meeting the user's requirements for service data transmission, and improving the user experience.

[0192] Figure 8 It is a schematic structural diagram of a measurement time configuration device provided by the embodiment of the present application. It can be understood that the measurement time configuration device can correspondingly implement the operations or steps of the corresponding network device in the foregoing various method embodiments. The measurement time configuration device can be a network device or a component configurable in a network device, such as a chip, a chip module, etc. As Figure 8 shown, the measurement time configuration device may include: a receiving module 801. In a possible implementation manner, it may further include: a sending module 802, a processing module 803. Optionally, the receiving module 801 and the sending module 802 may be integrated into a transceiver module or separated.

[0193] The receiving module 801 is configured to receive first indication information from a terminal device, where the first indication information is used to indicate conflict information of a first measurement time, and the conflict information is used to indicate that the first measurement time overlaps with a transmission.

[0194] Optionally, the transmission is an uplink transmission or a downlink transmission. When the transmission is the downlink transmission, the transmission includes a discontinuous reception (DRX) activation time.

[0195] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: a conflict indication, the number of the first measurement times, the first measurement time, the maximum number of conflicts, and the period to which the first measurement time belongs.

[0196] Optionally, the first indication information further includes at least one of the following: a transmission period, jitter information, and BAT information.
