[0043] 1) Network Controlled Small Gap (NCSG)

[0044] The concept of NCSG originated in LTE R-14, primarily to reduce UE measurement interruption time. When NCSG is activated, the UE can utilize idle RF chains for measurement. This results in a shorter measurement interruption (for RF chain adjustments) without requiring a longer MG (Measurement Gap). For example, whereas the MG typically requires a six-subframe interruption, NCSG reduces this to a brief interruption during the initial and final VIL1 (Visible Interruption Length before measurement) and VIL2 (Visible Interruption Length after measurement). During the ML (Measurement Length), data transmission and reception can continue simultaneously between the measurement and serving cell, effectively minimizing data interruption time while ensuring measurement. Whether the user supports NCSG is a capability, such as whether the UE has idle RF resources. The UE must report its NCSG capability to the network, which then informs the network of the configuration of the corresponding MG, NCSG, and other information.

[0045] The LTE protocol defines four NCSG patterns in 36.133, as shown in Table 1 below. NCSG#0 and NCSG#2 are based on MG pattern#0 and are applicable to synchronous and asynchronous scenarios, respectively. NCSG#1 and NCSG#3 are based on MG pattern#1 (the VIRP of the NSCG is equal to the Measurement Gap Repetition Period (MGRP) of the MG, and the VIL1+ML+VIL2 of the NSCG is equal to the MGL of the MG), and are applicable to synchronous and asynchronous scenarios, respectively. Please refer to Figures 2 and 3, where Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the MG and NCSG in the synchronous scenario involved in this application, and Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the MG and NCSG in the asynchronous scenario involved in this application.

[0046] Table 1

[0047] As shown in Table 2 below, the UE capability reporting information includes (nscg-r14), which is used to indicate whether NCSG patterns 0 to 3 are supported. For both LTE UEs and NR UEs, MG pattern #0 and MG pattern #1 are mandatory.

[0048] Table 2

[0049] The UE indicates to the network whether MG or NCSG is required for measurement on the corresponding CC in units of component carriers (CCs). The signaling in 36.133 is shown in Table 3 below, where gapIndication-r14 has three enumerated values: gap indicates that the UE requires gap measurement on the corresponding carrier, ncsg indicates that NCSG configuration is required, and nogap-noNcsg indicates that neither is required.

[0050] Table 3

[0051] Currently, NR R-17 introduces NR NCSG for MG measurement enhancement:

[0052] The UE shall support NCSG mode in accordance with its measurement capabilities. ML is the measurement length. During VIL1 and VIL2, the UE is not expected to transmit or receive any data. VIL1 is the visible outage length before ML, and VIL2 is the visible outage time after ML. Whether the UE is expected to transmit or receive data on the corresponding serving carrier during ML depends on the scheduling restriction requirements specified in clauses 9.2.7.3 and 9.3.10.3. (The UE shall support NCSG patterns defined in Table 9.1.9.3-1 that are relevant to the UE's measurement capabilities. ML is the measurement length. During the VIL1 and VIL2, the UE is not expected to transmit and receive any data. Where, VIL1 is the visible interruption length before the ML and VIL2 is the visible interruption length after the ML. carrier(s)depends on the scheduling restriction requirements specified in clauses 9.2.7.3 and 9.3.10.3.The NCSG configuration parameters VIL1,ML,VIL2 and VIRP are illustrated in Figure 9.1.9.3-1.The applicability of the NCSG patterns in Table 9.1.9.3-1is specified in Table 9.1.9.3-2.)

[0053] Among them, the NCSG configuration parameters VIL1, ML, VIL2 and VIRP are shown in the NCSG configuration parameter diagram involved in Figure 4. The NCSG configurations supported by the UE are shown in Table 4 below.

[0054] Table 4

[0055] Among them, for VIL1 / VIL2 per UE or FR1NCSG, VIL=1ms; for VIL1 / VIL2 per FR2 NCSG, VIL=0.75ms.

[0056] 2) Pre-MG

[0057] Any of the measurement gap patterns #0 to #25 can be configured as Pre-MG pattern. The UE can determine the Pre-MG status based on autonomous activation / deactivation mechanism or based on network-controlled activation / deactivation mechanism.

[0058] The measurement gap pattern may be as shown in Table 5 below.

[0059] Table 5

[0060] Pre-MG has two activation / deactivation modes: autonomous and network controlled.

[0061] The UE shall also autonomously determine the Pre-MG status based on all the concurrent triggering conditions occurring jointly:

[0062] - DCI, timer or RRC based active BWP switching;

[0063] -Activation / deactivation of SCell(s)

[0064] -Addition / removal of any measurement object(s)

[0065] -Addition / release / change of a SCell in carrier aggregation.

[0066] A UE capable of both autonomous and network-controlled mechanisms for activation / deactivation of Pre-MG pattern will not use autonomous rules to determine the activation / deactivation status of the pre-configured MG if the network provides the activation / deactivation status via RRC indication preConfGapStatus for all the DL BWPs of all the activated CCs, and for all the deactivated SCCs.

[0067] If the UE supports both network control and autonomous operation, the autonomous mode is not used to activate / deactivate the Pre-MG.

[0068] 3)MG and MG sharing mechanism

[0069] To allow the UE to perform measurements more effectively, the network can configure a specific time window, known as a Measurement Gap (MG). The figure below shows MG patterns #0-23 supported by Rel-15. Rel-16 adds two new MG patterns #24 and #25, taking into account the longer repetition times of PRS signals.

[0070] When the network configures a UE to perform measurements on both the same and different frequencies within a single MG, the UE must coordinate the time allocation for different measurement objects within the MG, a mechanism known as MG sharing. The NR MG sharing scheme essentially follows the MG sharing scheme defined in the LTE version (implied in the CSSF) and is summarized as follows (see protocol 38.133, section 9.1.5.2 for details):

[0071] For long-period E-UTRA RSTD measurement or long-period NR PRS measurement, CSSFwith_gap, i = 1. This means that the long-period PRS measurement does not need to share the MG with other measurements and has a higher measurement priority.

[0072] For short-period PRS positioning measurements and other SSB / CSI-RS measurements, competing MGs are required. By counting the number of same-frequency measurement objects Mintra,i,j and the number of inter-frequency measurement objects Minter,i,j in each MG, the total number of measurement objects Mtot,i,j = Mintra,i,j + Minter,i,j, and combining the parameter measGapSharingScheme and the ratio of MGs with long periods removed Ri, the final CSSFwith_gap,i is determined (PRS measurements are inter-frequency measurements):

[0073] When measGapSharingScheme indicates the equal-sharing scheme, CSSFwithin_gap,i=max(ceil(Ri×Mtot,i,j)),where j=0…(160 / MGRP)-1;

[0074] When measGapSharingScheme indicates a non-equal sharing scheme, the value of Kintra / Kinter is determined according to its indication.

[0075] If the measurement object i is a co-frequency measurement, take the maximum value of the following:

[0076] -ceil(Ri×Kintra×Mintra,i,j)in gaps where Minter,i,j≠0,where j=0…(160 / MGRP)-1;

[0077] -ceil(Ri×Mintra,i,j)in gaps where Minter,i,j=0,where j=0…(160 / MGRP)-1.

[0078] If the measurement object i is an inter-frequency measurement, take the maximum value of the following:

[0079] -ceil(Ri×Kinter×Minter,i,j)in gaps where Mintra,i,j≠0,where j=0…(160 / MGRP)-1;

[0080] -ceil(Ri×Minter,i,j)in gaps where Mintra,i,j=0,where j=0…(160 / MGRP)-1.

[0081] Where Ri is the maximum ratio of the number of MGs for which measurement object i can be measured to the number of MGs for which measurement object i can be measured and that are not used for long-period PRS measurement. The protocol describes this as "Ri is the maximal ratio of the number of measurement gaps where measurement object i is a candidate to be measured over the number of measurement gaps where measurement object i is a candidate and not used for RSTD measurement with periodicity Tprs>160ms or with periodicity Tprs=160ms but prs-MutingInfo-r9 is configured within an arbitrary1280ms period."

[0082] Currently, the UE capabilities and network configuration methods for pre-configured NCSG in NR are missing, and the activation / deactivation method of pre-configured NCSG is also missing. Specifically:

[0083] 1) There is a lack of capability information on whether the UE supports Pre-NCSG and the supported NCSG activation methods.

[0084] 2) There is a lack of indication (pre-configInd) on the network side to enable Pre-NCSG configuration. Currently, the network side information can only indicate whether the UE is allowed to use Pre-MG or NCSG, but there is no information on enabling Pre-NCSG.

[0123] To sum up, in an embodiment of the present application, the network device can receive the report from the terminal device, and the terminal device supports the pre-configured network controlled small interval Pre-NCSG capability. The subsequent network device can configure the terminal device for Pre-NCSG, thereby improving the accuracy of the network device's Pre-NCSG configuration and improving the communication efficiency of the network.

[0124] Please refer to FIG7 , which shows a flowchart of a measurement processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method can be interactively executed by a terminal device and a network device; wherein the terminal device can be the terminal device 120 or the terminal device 130 in the network architecture shown in FIG1 , and the network device can be the network device 110 in the network architecture shown in FIG1 ; the method can include the following steps:

[0125] Step 710: The terminal device reports capability information to the network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives the capability information reported by the terminal device. The capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the predicted configured network controlled small interval Pre-NCSG.

[0126] In some embodiments, the capability information includes one or more of the following:

[0127] The first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device has a capability of supporting Pre-NCSG;

[0128] The second indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the pre-configured NCSG mode;

[0129] The third indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports network-controlled Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation;

[0130] The fourth indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device supports autonomous Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present application, the capability information may be indicated as follows:

[0132] 1) Explicit support, such as the UE's ability to support Pre-NCSG, or which NCSG patterns can be pre-configured;

[0133] 2) Supported by indirectly supporting the NCSG activation method, adding a Pre-NCSG activation and deactivation indication supporting network control and / or a Pre-NCSG activation and deactivation indication supporting UE autonomous judgment in the measandmobparameter.

[0134] In some embodiments, reporting capability information to a network device includes:

[0135] Reporting capability information for the device in measurement or mobility configuration; or,

[0136] Report capability information for frequency bands; or,

[0137] Report capability information for the cell.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, the above capability information may be reported as follows:

[0139] 1) perUE reporting in measurement or mobility configuration (e.g. in the measandmob container);

[0140] 2) Report per band / per cell as in the indication (NCSG) in needforNCSG, such as along with ServCellIndex, or FreqBandIndicatorNR, together with gapindication.

[0141] Step 720: The network device configures the Pre-NCSG of the terminal based on the capability information.

[0142] In some embodiments, when the terminal device supports the simultaneous configuration or use of NCSG and the pre-configured measurement interval MG during the measurement process, the network device sends a first signaling to the terminal device; correspondingly, when the terminal device supports the simultaneous configuration or use of NCSG and the pre-configured measurement interval MG during the measurement process, the first signaling sent by the network device is received; the first signaling is used to instruct the terminal device to simultaneously configure or use NCSG and the pre-configured measurement interval MG during the measurement process.

[0143] Among them, when the capability of the terminal device indicates that the terminal device supports the configuration or use of NCSG and pre-configuration measurement gap MG simultaneously during the measurement process, the network device can explicitly indicate that NCSG and pre-configuration MG can be used simultaneously in a certain measurement gap configuration of the UE by adding new signaling; the signaling can be as follows:

[0144] In some embodiments, when the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration or use of NCSG and preconfigured measurement interval MG during the measurement process, the network device sends a second signaling to the terminal device; accordingly, the terminal device receives the second signaling sent by the network device; the second signaling is used to indicate that the first parameter and the second parameter are true at the same time; wherein the first parameter is used to indicate whether the measurement gap is a preconfigured measurement gap, and the second parameter is used to indicate whether the measurement gap is NCSG.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present application, the existing (R17) signaling description may also be modified to allow the indication that preConfigInd and ncsgInd can be true at the same time.

[0146] Among them, preConfigInd indicates whether the measurement gap is a pre-configured measurement gap (indicates whether the measurement gap is a pre-configured measurement gap); ncsgInd indicates that the measurement gap is a NCSG as specified in 38.133 (indicates that the measurement gap is a NCSG as specified in 38.133).

[0147] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may support network-controlled Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation, and / or, the terminal device may support autonomous Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation.

[0148] The network device can choose to activate or deactivate the NCSG through network control according to the Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation method supported by the terminal device.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the terminal device is configured with a network-controlled RRC indication including all downlink bandwidth parts DL BWP of all activated component carriers and all deactivated SCCs, the network device controls the terminal device to activate or deactivate the NCSG.

[0150] Accordingly, when the network device is configured with a network-controlled RRC indication including all downlink bandwidth parts DL BWP of all activated component carriers and all deactivated SCCs, the terminal device activates or deactivates the NCSG in a network-controlled manner.

[0151] The UE may report the capability of both autonomous and network-controlled activation / deactivation, but which one is used depends on whether the network is configured. When the UE supports both activation / deactivation modes and the network has configured a controlled RRC indication including all the DL BWPs of all the activated CCs and for all the deactivated SCCs, the UE shall use network-controlled activation and deactivation of the NCSG.

[0152] In some embodiments, when the network device controls the terminal device to activate or deactivate the NCSG, it may send control information to the terminal device, where the control information is used by the terminal device to activate or deactivate the NCSG.

[0153] Correspondingly, when the terminal device activates or deactivates the NCSG through network control, it can receive control information sent by the network device and activate or deactivate the NCSG according to the control information.

[0154] For example, the activation / deactivation indication controlled by the network may be 1-bit information specially configured by RRC, and may be activated (with NCSG) or deactivated (no NCSG) as the indication of needforgNCSG changes.

[0155] In some embodiments, the control information includes one or more of the following:

[0156] Messages used for configuration / addition / deletion / modification of measurement objects, configuration / update of measurement intervals, or addition / deletion or activation / deactivation of carriers in RRC configuration or reconfiguration;

[0157] BWP switching message triggered by Timer / DCI / RRC message;

[0158] Dedicated to MAC-CE activation and deactivation signaling for pre-configured NCSG;

[0159] Message used to configure NCSG during RRC configuration or reconfiguration.

[0160] In some embodiments, the conditions for the terminal device to support autonomous Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation include one or more of the following:

[0161] The Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation process corresponds to the active BWP switching process based on DCI, timer or RRC;

[0162] The Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation process corresponds to the activation / deactivation process of the secondary cell;

[0163] The Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation process corresponds to the process of adding / removing measurement objects;

[0164] The Pre-NCSG activation / deactivation process corresponds to the process of adding, releasing or changing a secondary cell in carrier aggregation;

[0165] The terminal device supports switching between NCSG deactivation and activation;

[0166] The terminal device supports the change of the indication 'nogap-noncsg' and the indication 'nogap-withncsg' in the eutra-NeedForGapNCSG report;

[0167] The terminal device supports changes in NeedForInterruptionReport.

[0168] The conditions for autonomous activation or deactivation of the terminal device may include at least one of the following:

[0169] 1) DCI, timer or RRC based active BWP switching,(active BWP switching based on DCI, timer or RRC).

[0170] 2)Activation / deactivation of SCell(s),(SCell activation / deactivation).

[0171] 3)Addition / removal of any measurement object(s).

[0172] 4)Addition / release / change of a SCell in carrier aggregation,(Addition / release / change of SCell in carrier aggregation).

[0173] 5) Or the UE supports switching between '[nogap-nointerruption]' (NCSG deactivation) and [nogap-withinterruption] (NCSG activation) in the indication [NeedForGap-InfoNR-R18].

[0174] The Rel-18 indication is a supplement to the traditional NeedForGapsInfoNR information. The UE can report three different situations:

[0175] If a gap is required, the UE reports "gap" in the Rel-16 field and reports an empty field in the corresponding R18 IE;

[0176] If no gaps are required and there are no interruptions, the UE reports “no gaps” in the Rel-16 field and “no gaps no interruptions” in the Rel-18 field;

[0177] If no gap is required but there is an interruption, the UE reports "no gap" in the Rel-16 field and "no interruption gap" in the Rel-18 field.

[0178] 6) Or the UE supports eutra-NeedForGapNCSG-reporting-r17, indicating changes to 'nogap-noncsg' in the E-UTRA band in NeedForGapNCSG-InfoEUTRA for inter-RAT EUTRA measurement and 'nogap-withncsg' in the E-UTRA band in NeedForGapNCSG-InfoEUTRA for inter-RAT EUTRA measurement'.

[0179] 7) Or the UE supports changes in NeedForInterruptionReport.

[0180] The protocol introduces a new indication (needForInterruptionInfoNR) for Rel-18, indicating that gapless measurements based on NR SSBs require interruption. This Rel-18 indication can be included in the RRCReconfigurationComplete and RRCResumeComplete messages. Currently, RAN4 has agreed to support gapless and uninterrupted measurements for both inter-frequency and intra-frequency measurements based on NR SSBs. Among them, when the network requests through the control flag (needForInterruption ConfigNR), the Rel-18 indication needforInterruption InfoNR (Introduce new indication (needForInterruptionInfoNR) for the Rel-18 case where interruption is needed for NR SSB based measurement without gap. The Rel-18 indication can be included in in RRCReconfigurationComplete and RRCResumeComplete message.RAN4 agreed to support measurements without gap with interruption for NR SSB-based inter-frequency and intra-frequency.The UE includes Rel-18 indication(needForInterruptionInfoNR)only if network requests it via a controlling flag(needForInterruptionConfigNR)).

[0181] The solution shown in the above embodiments of the present application clarifies the configuration of Pre-NCSG and UE capabilities, which is conducive to the network and terminal to flexibly use NCSG to reduce the impact of measurement on throughput.
