Technical Field

[0055] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, not limited in number; for example, the first object can be one or more. Furthermore, "or" in this application indicates at least one of the connected objects. For example, the scope of protection for "A or B" covers at least three scenarios: Scenario 1: including A but not B; Scenario 2: including B but not A; Scenario 3: including both A and B. In addition, the terms "A and / or B," "at least one of A and B," and "at least one of A or B" also cover at least the above three scenarios. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0057] The term "instruction" in this application can be either a direct instruction (or explicit instruction) or an indirect instruction (or implicit instruction). A direct instruction can be understood as one in which the sender explicitly informs the receiver of specific information, the operation to be performed, or the requested result, etc., in the instruction sent. An indirect instruction can be understood as one in which the receiver determines the corresponding information based on the instruction sent by the sender, or makes a judgment and determines the operation to be performed or the requested result, etc., based on the judgment result.

[0058] It is worth noting that the technology described in this application is not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-Carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), or other systems, such as NTN systems, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), vehicle-to-everything (V2X), machine-type communications (MTC), the Internet of Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M), or future mobile communication systems. As a possible application scenario, NTN systems may include satellite systems. Based on satellite altitude, i.e., satellite orbital altitude, satellites can be classified into highly elliptical orbit (HEO) satellites, geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites, medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. In addition, NTN systems may also include non-terrestrial network-side equipment (or airborne network-side equipment) such as High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) communication systems. The non-terrestrial network-side equipment involved in this application is not limited to the examples mentioned above.

[0059] The terms "system" and "network" used in the embodiments of this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used with respect to the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description; however, these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR systems, such as 6th generation (6G) systems. th Generation 6G communication system.

[0060] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following technical points are introduced first:

[0061] 1) Regarding the structure of the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) in 5th Generation (5G) NR.

[0062] The initial search process is completed through the SSB. The SSB consists of the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), and the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) within four consecutive Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and is mainly used for downlink synchronization.

[0063] 2) Regarding the Global Synchronization Channel Number (GSCN) and Synchronization Raster.

[0064] NR defines a GSCN for the 0-100GHz frequency range, and a portion of the GSCN is defined as a synchronization grid. Base stations can transmit synchronization signal blocks on the synchronization grid. The spacing and numbering of the GSCN are related to the frequency range and whether the channel bandwidth is greater than 3MHz.

[0065] The location and calculation of GSCN in different frequency domain ranges are shown in Tables 1 to 10:

[0066] For example, based on GSCN=2, we can deduce N=1, M=1, and thus the corresponding frequency position is 1250kHz. If GSCN=2 belongs to the GSCN range of a certain frequency band, then it is a synchronization grid of that frequency band.

[0075] 3) About NR-ARFCN and Channel Raster.

[0076] NR defines a Global Frequency Raster, and the frequency points corresponding to the Global Frequency Raster are called Radio Frequency (RF) reference points, which are numbered NR-ARFCN. A portion of the RF reference points can be used as a channel grid, and base stations can deploy channels on the channel grid. Typically, the channel grid represents the center location of the carrier during carrier deployment.

[0077] The radio frequency reference frequency is specified by the NR absolute radio frequency channel number (NR-ARFCN) on the global frequency grid, ranging from (0…2016666). The NR-ARFCN is related to the radio frequency reference frequency F. REF The relationship (in MHz) is given by the following formula, where F REF-Offs and N Ref-Offs As shown in Table 5, N REF It is NR-ARFCN.

[0078] F REF =F REF-Offs +ΔF Global (N REF –N REF-Offs ).

[0079] Table 5: NR-ARFCN parameters of the global frequency grid.

[0080] Frequency range (MHz) <![CDATA[ΔF Global (kHz)]]> <![CDATA[F REF-Offs (MHz)]]> <![CDATA[N REF-Offs ]]> <![CDATA[N REF Scope 0–3000 5 0 0 0–599999 3000–24250 15 3000 600000 600000–2016666

[0081] Table 6: NR-ARFCN parameters of the global frequency grid.

[0082] Frequency range (MHz) <![CDATA[ΔF Global (kHz)]]> <![CDATA[F REF-Offs (MHz)]]> <![CDATA[N REF-Offs ]]> <![CDATA[N REF Scope 24250–80000 60 24250.08 2016667 2016667–3279165

[0083] For example, in Table 7, the channel grid on frequency band n1 is 100kHz. The range of its uplink frequency domain NR-ARFCN number is 384000–396000, and the range of its downlink frequency domain NR-ARFCN number is 422000–434000. An NR-ARFCN number can also be used to indicate a frequency location.

[0084] Table 7: Applicable NR-ARFCN for each operating frequency band.

[0085]

[0086] It is important to note that there may be overlap in the frequency domain between different frequency bands, such as bands n38 and n41. As can be seen from Table 4, although these two frequency bands overlap, their NR-ARFCN step sizes are different.

[0087] Table 8: NR-ARFCN applicable to each operating frequency band.

[0088]

[0089] For certain special frequency bands, the NR-ARFCN corresponding to the channel grid is listed separately instead of being calculated using step sizes. This is because these frequency bands may have special regulatory requirements.

[0097] Table 12: NR-ARFCN applicable to the n263 band.

[0098]

[0099] 4) Single-cell with multiple bands.

[0100] In NR, there are many discrete narrowband frequency bands (such as 700MHz, some of which only have 5MHz bandwidth). One possible approach is to aggregate these frequency band resources together and utilize them jointly.

[0101] The design of the channel grid for carrier resource deployment also affects the spacing between adjacent synchronization points (entries) in the 6G synchronization grid. Ensuring base station flexibility while avoiding excessive 6G search cycles is crucial. Furthermore, in the 5G channel grid, to support carrier deployment with smaller bandwidths, an extremely dense 10kHz channel grid was introduced later, leading to greater protocol complexity.

[0102] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to embodiments of this application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12.

The term "base station" is not limited to any specific technical terminology. It should be noted that this application embodiment only uses a base station in an NR system as an example for description and does not limit the specific type of base station.

[0107] The communication methods, apparatus, devices, and readable storage media provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0108] See Figure 2 This application provides a communication method applied to a terminal, the specific steps of which include:

[0109] Step 21: The terminal performs the first operation based on the frequency location;

[0110] The execution of the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0111] (1) Determine at least one of the carrier, channel, bandwidth part (BWP), resource grid, and signal of the first or second wireless technology;

[0112] For example, the first wireless technology includes, but is not limited to, 6G or future wireless technologies, and the second wireless technology includes, but is not limited to, 5G or 5G Advanced (5G-A), such as LTE, Wireless Fidelity (wifi), military or civilian radar systems, etc.

[0113] (2) Determine the location of at least one of the carrier, channel, BWP, resource, and signal of the first or second wireless technology;

[0114] (3) To transmit or receive at least one of the carrier, channel, BWP, resource grid, and signal of the first or second wireless technology;

[0115] The frequency location includes at least one of a first frequency location corresponding to a first wireless technology and a second frequency location corresponding to a second wireless technology.

[0116] The frequency position, the first frequency position, or the second frequency position includes at least one of the following: channel grid, channel frequency point, radio frequency position, rate domain position corresponding to ARFCN, and first global frequency point.

[0117] Optionally, the first global frequency point can be replaced with the radio frequency range (RF frequency).

[0118] Optionally, the frequency location may include the boundary or center of at least one of the following: carrier, channel, BWP, resource, and signal.

[0119] In one implementation, the first frequency position is determined based on at least one of a first preset frequency position, a first interval, a first step length, a first offset, and a first carrier bandwidth.

[0120] Optionally, the first frequency position is determined based on a first preset frequency position. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first frequency position is the first preset frequency position or includes the first preset frequency position.

[0121] Optionally, the first frequency location is determined based on the first carrier bandwidth.

[0122] Optionally, the first frequency position is determined based on the first interval.

[0123] Optionally, the first frequency position is determined based on the first interval and the first step length.

[0124] Optionally, the first frequency position is determined based on a first interval and a first offset.

[0125] Optionally, the first frequency position is determined based on a first interval, a first offset, and a first step length.

[0126] In one embodiment, the second frequency position is determined based on at least one of a second preset frequency position, a second interval, a second step size, a second offset, and a second carrier bandwidth.

[0127] Optionally, the first preset frequency position or the second preset frequency position can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0128] Optionally, the second frequency position is determined based on a second preset frequency position. Specifically, in some embodiments, the second frequency position is or includes the second preset frequency position.

[0129] Optionally, the second frequency position is determined based on the second carrier bandwidth.

[0130] Optionally, the second frequency position is determined based on the second interval.

[0131] Optionally, the second frequency position is determined based on the second interval and the second step size.

[0132] Optionally, the second frequency position is determined based on the second interval and the second offset.

[0133] Optionally, the second frequency position is determined based on the second interval, the second offset, and the second step size.

[0134] It should be noted that the following examples use 6G and 5G as the first and second wireless technologies, respectively, for illustration. Implementation methods in other scenarios are similar. For example, the first interval can be referred to as the 6G gap, and the second interval as the 5G gap. The first interval can be understood as the frequency interval between two adjacent first frequency positions, or as the granularity of the frequency interval between two adjacent first frequency positions. The second interval can be understood as the frequency interval between two adjacent second frequency positions, or as the granularity of the frequency interval between two adjacent second frequency positions.

[0135] In one embodiment of this application, the first interval is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0136] (1) SCS or multiples of SCS;

[0137] Optionally, the first interval is SCS or a multiple of SCS.

[0138] Optionally, the SCS can be a preset SCS, such as the maximum or minimum SCS within the frequency range.

[0139] For example, 6G does not need to be compatible with the LTE channel grid, but it must maintain in-band operation with 5G. The first interval can be an SCS-level gap. Furthermore, the 100kHz and 10kHz intervals can be disregarded. The advantage of this approach is its simplicity and ensures the flexibility of 6G system deployment, regardless of whether 5G and 6G share frequency bands, are deployed on the same frequency, or coexist. Moreover, even when 5G and 6G share frequency bands, are deployed on the same frequency, or coexist, 6G can still coexist with 5G systems.

[0140] (2) A third interval or a multiple thereof, wherein the third interval includes at least one of the following: 10 kHz, 100 kHz, 180 kHz, 500 kHz, 0.9 MHz, 4.5 MHz;

[0141] In one implementation, the first interval is 10 kHz or a multiple of 10 kHz, or 100 kHz or a multiple of 100 kHz. For example, while 6G may not need to be compatible with LTE, 5G has already defined channel grids with intervals of 100 kHz and 10 kHz. If 5G can still be deployed in these locations, then the 100 kHz and 10 kHz channel grids of 5G may still be compatible during coexistence. The advantage of this approach is that it allows 6G to coexist with any already deployed 5G system, including 6G and LTE-compatible 5G systems. Alternatively, 6G can coexist with LTE systems.

[0142] In another implementation, the first interval is 500 kHz or a multiple of 500 kHz. For example, the greatest common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands in Frequency Range 1 (FR1) is 500 kHz. In this implementation, the center position of a frequency band can be guaranteed to be on the channel grid, thus ensuring that channels can be deployed for narrowbands of only 5 MHz. This significantly relaxes the channel grid spacing and can further relax the synchronization grid.

[0143] In another implementation, the first interval is 0.9MHz or a multiple of 0.9MHz, or the first interval is 4.5MHz or a multiple of 4.5MHz. 0.9MHz and 4.5MHz are both multiples of 100kHz and 180kHz (180kHz is a multiple of some SCS), thus significantly relaxing the channel grid spacing. This allows for further relaxation of the syncraster, enabling RB-level alignment and allowing 6G and 5G systems to coexist.

[0144] (3) The first carrier bandwidth, or the first carrier bandwidth and the guard band;

[0145] For example, the first carrier bandwidth can be the minimum carrier bandwidth.

[0146] (4) The length of the first step;

[0147] Optionally, the first interval is determined based on the product of a specific interval and the first step length. It should be noted that the aforementioned first step length can be understood as a "multiple" mentioned in the application. For example, if the specific interval is 15kHz, the first interval = 15kHz * the first step length, and the first step length can be understood as a step size.

[0148] Optionally, the specific interval can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0149] (5) Second frequency location; for example, in the case of coexistence of the first wireless technology and the second wireless technology, in order to avoid interference, the second frequency location needs to be considered.

[0150] (6) Second interval. For example, in the case of coexistence of the first wireless technology and the second wireless technology, a second interval needs to be considered in order to avoid interference.

[0151] In this embodiment, by defining the first interval in the above manner, some schemes can achieve flexible deployment of the first wireless technology, and some schemes can achieve the first wireless technology and the second wireless technology to share frequency bands or be deployed or coexist on the same frequency. In addition, while ensuring the flexibility of network-side equipment, it can effectively reduce the number of times the terminal searches for synchronization signals, thereby effectively saving the power consumption of the terminal.

[0152] In one embodiment of this application, for the first frequency domain, the second interval is SCS or a multiple of SCS.

[0153] In one embodiment of this application, for MRSS and a second wireless technology to share a frequency band, be deployed on the same frequency, or coexist, the second interval is SCS or a multiple of SCS.

[0154] In one embodiment of this application, the second wireless technology shares a frequency band with the first wireless technology, or is deployed or coexists with it on the same frequency, and the second interval is SCS or a multiple of SCS.

[0155] Furthermore, both the first interval and the second interval are SCS or multiples of SCS, and are equal.

[0156] For example, when 5G and 6G share frequency bands, are deployed on the same frequency, or coexist, terminal and network-side devices in 5G can also use frequency positions with an interval of SCS or multiples of SCS, avoiding the use of different types of parameter sets (numerology) by terminal and network-side devices in 5G and 6G.

[0157] In one embodiment of this application, a second wireless technology is provided, wherein the second interval is SCS or a multiple of SCS.

[0158] In one embodiment of this application, the second interval is newly defined, or the second interval is at least partially the same as the first interval, or the second interval is divisible by the first interval. The second interval being divisible by the first interval can be interpreted as the first interval being a multiple of the second interval.

[0159] Optionally, the second interval is the same as at least one of the plurality of first intervals.

[0160] In one implementation, for 5G frequency bands that do not support frequency positions corresponding to 5G with intervals of SCS or multiples of SCS, additional frequency positions corresponding to 5G are defined (e.g., intervals of SCS or multiples of SCS, or the same as the frequency positions corresponding to 6G). This is a new definition or specification specifically for sharing frequency bands, co-deploying, or coexisting with 6G. For example, for frequency band n1, which originally only supported 100kHz and 10kHz channel grids, additional 15kHz or 30kHz channel grids are introduced, supporting new step sizes of 3, 6, or 1.

[0161] In one embodiment of this application, the second wireless technology shares the frequency band with the first wireless technology, or is deployed or coexists with it on at least one target frequency band, wherein the second interval is at least partially the same as the first interval, or the second interval is divisible by the first interval.

[0162] In one implementation, 5G and 6G can only share frequency bands, be deployed on the same frequency band as the 5G frequency position with the same spacing as the 6G frequency position, and coexist therein. For example, for frequency band n41, 5G supports a channel grid of 15kHz or 30kHz, thus enabling its use in 5G-6G MRSS.

[0163] In one embodiment of this application, the first wireless technology and the second wireless technology share a frequency band, are deployed or coexist on the same frequency, and the first interval is equal to the second interval, or at least part of the first interval is the same as the second interval, or the first interval is a multiple of the second interval.

[0164] For example, when 6G and 5G share frequency bands, are deployed on the same frequency, or coexist, the interval corresponding to the frequency domain position of 6G is equal to or at least partially the same as the interval corresponding to the frequency position of 5G.

[0165] In one embodiment of this application, the first interval is determined based on at least one of the following: SCS or a multiple of SCS; the third interval or a multiple of the third interval, wherein the third interval includes at least one of 10 kHz, 100 kHz, 180 kHz, 500 kHz, 0.9 MHz, or 4.5 MHz;

[0166] Wherein, the first interval is dedicated to the first wireless technology, or the first interval is different from the second interval.

[0167] For example, for standalone 6G scenarios, a dedicated 6G interval is used. This dedicated interval can be SCS or a multiple of SCS, or 500kHz or a multiple of 500kHz, or 0.9MHz or a multiple of 0.9MHz, or 4.5MHz or a multiple of 4.5MHz.

[0168] In another embodiment of this application, the first wireless technology is deployed independently, or the first wireless technology does not share a frequency band with the second wireless technology, or is deployed or coexists with it on the same frequency. The first interval is determined based on at least one of the following: SCS or a multiple of SCS; a fourth interval or a multiple of the fourth interval, wherein the fourth interval includes at least one of 10kHz, 100kHz, 180kHz, 500kHz, 0.9MHz, or 4.5MHz.

[0169] In one embodiment of this application, the first offset satisfies one of the following:

[0170] (1) The first offset is equal to 0;

[0171] For example, when the first offset is equal to 0, it is equivalent to the first offset not existing, and the frequency position corresponding to the first wireless technology is determined based on the first interval, or the frequency position corresponding to the first wireless technology is determined based on the first interval and the first step length.

[0172] (2) The first offset is determined based on at least one of the second offset and the third offset.

[0173] For example, the first offset (shift) = a * the second offset (shift1) + b * the third offset (shift2). It is understood that at least one of the second and third offsets is optional; for example, either the second or third offset can be 0. a and b are weighting coefficients, which can be 1.

[0174] In one embodiment of this application, the first offset is determined based on a fifth interval or a multiple of the fifth interval;

[0175] The fifth interval includes at least one of the following: 5kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz, 50kHz, and 150kHz.

[0176] In one implementation, the first shift is a multiple of 5 kHz, or a multiple of 15 kHz, or a multiple of 50 kHz, or a multiple of 150 kHz.

[0177] For example, if the first interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 5kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O + 100Hz*N + 5kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). As another example, if the first interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O + 100kHz*N + 10kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 100kHz. Within the three possible positions after an offset of -1, 0, or 1 5 or 10kHz, there will definitely be a position that is an integer multiple of 15kHz. Therefore, while relaxing the first interval corresponding to the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a point aligned at the SCS level can be found. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0178] For example, if the first interval corresponding to the channel grid is 500kHz, and there exists shift 5kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O+500kHz*N+5kHz*M, where M=(-1,0,1); or, for another example, if the first interval corresponding to the channel grid is 500kHz, and there exists shift 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O+500kHz*N+10kHz*M, where M=(-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the greatest common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 500kHz. Within the three positions offset by -1, 0, or 1 500kHz, there will definitely be a position that is an integer multiple of 15kHz. Therefore, while relaxing the first interval corresponding to the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a channel grid aligned at the SCS level can be found, thus achieving SCS level alignment with 5G. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0179] In another implementation, the first offset is a value of 10 kHz or a multiple of 10 kHz, or 20 kHz or a multiple of 20 kHz.

[0180] For example, if the first interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is 100kHz O + 100kHz*N + 10kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). As another example, if the first interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 20kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is 100kHz O + 100kHz*N + 20kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 100kHz. Within the three possible positions after offsetting 100kHz*N by -1, 0, or 1 (20 or 10kHz), a position that is an integer multiple of 30kHz can definitely be found. Thus, while relaxing the first interval corresponding to the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a point aligned at the SCS level can be found. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0181] In one embodiment of this application, at least one of the second offset or the third offset is determined based on a sixth interval or a multiple of the sixth interval;

[0182] The sixth interval includes at least one of the following: 5kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz, 50kHz, and 150kHz.

[0183] In one implementation, the second offset is a multiple of 5 kHz or 5 kHz, or a multiple of 10 kHz or 10 kHz, or a multiple of 15 kHz or 15 kHz, or a multiple of 20 kHz or 20 kHz, or a multiple of 50 kHz or 50 kHz, or a multiple of 150 kHz or 150 kHz.

[0184] For example, if the second interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 5kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O + 100Hz*N + 5kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). Similarly, if the second interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O + 100kHz*N + 10kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 100kHz. Within the three possible positions after offsetting 100kHz*N by -1, 0, or 1 5 or 10kHz, a position that is an integer multiple of 15kHz can definitely be found. This ensures that a point aligned at the SCS level can be found while relaxing the second interval corresponding to the channel grid. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0185] For example, if the second interval corresponding to the channel grid is 500kHz, and there exists shift 5kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O+500kHz*N+5kHz*M, where M=(-1,0,1); or, for another example, if the second interval corresponding to the channel grid is 500kHz, and there exists shift 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O+500kHz*N+10kHz*M, where M=(-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the greatest common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 500kHz. Within the three positions offset by -1, 0, or 1 500kHz, there will definitely be a position that is an integer multiple of 15kHz. Therefore, while relaxing the second interval corresponding to the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a channel grid aligned at the SCS level can be found, thus achieving SCS level alignment with 5G. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0186] For example, if the second interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is 100kHz O + 100kHz*N + 10kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). As another example, if the second interval corresponding to the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 20kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is 100kHz O + 100kHz*N + 20kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 100kHz. Within the three possible positions after offsetting 100kHz*N by -1, 0, or 1 (20 or 10kHz), a position that is an integer multiple of 30kHz can definitely be found. Thus, under the premise of relaxing the second interval corresponding to the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a point aligned at the SCS level can always be found. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0187] In one implementation, the third offset is a multiple of 5 kHz or 5 kHz, or a multiple of 10 kHz or 10 kHz, or a multiple of 15 kHz or 15 kHz, or a multiple of 20 kHz or 20 kHz, or a multiple of 50 kHz or 50 kHz, or a multiple of 150 kHz or 150 kHz.

[0188] For example, if the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 5kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O + 100Hz*N + 5kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). As another example, if the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists a shift of 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula for the channel grid is O + 100kHz*N + 10kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 100kHz. Within the three possible positions after an offset of 100kHz*N (-1, 0, or 1 5 or 10kHz), one position can definitely be found that is an integer multiple of 15kHz. Thus, while relaxing the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a point of SCS-level alignment can always be found. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0189] For example, if the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid is 500kHz, and there exists shift 5kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula of the channel grid is O+500kHz*N+5kHz*M, where M=(-1,0,1); or, if the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid is 500kHz, and there exists shift 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula of the channel grid is O+500kHz*N+10kHz*M, where M=(-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the greatest common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 500kHz. Within the three positions after offsets of -1, 0, or 1 500kHz, there will definitely be a position that is an integer multiple of 15kHz. Therefore, while relaxing the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a channel grid aligned at the SCS level can be found, thus achieving SCS level alignment with 5G. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0190] For example, if the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists shift 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula of the channel grid is 100kHz O + 100kHz*N + 10kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). As another example, if the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid is 100kHz, and there exists shift 20kHz*(-1,0,1), then the definition formula of the channel grid is 100kHz O + 100kHz*N + 20kHz*M, where M = (-1,0,1). In this embodiment, the common divisor of the center positions of all frequency bands of FR1 is 100kHz. Among the three possible positions after offsetting 100kHz*N by -1, 0, or 1 (20 or 10kHz), one position can definitely be found that is an integer multiple of 30kHz. Thus, while relaxing the interval corresponding to the third offset of the channel grid, it is guaranteed that a point of SCS-level alignment can be found. O is a base value and can be 0.

[0191] In one embodiment of this application, the first interval is determined based on SCS or a multiple of SCS, including at least one of the following:

[0192] (1) For the first frequency domain, the first interval is determined based on SCS or a multiple of SCS;

[0193] (2) When Multi-RAT Spectrum Sharing (MRSS) and the second wireless technology share a frequency band or are deployed or coexist on the same frequency, the first interval is determined based on SCS or a multiple of SCS.

[0194] (3) Where the second wireless technology and the first wireless technology share a frequency band, are deployed or coexist on the same frequency, the first interval is determined based on SCS or a multiple of SCS;

[0195] (4) The second wireless technology exists, and the first interval is determined based on SCS or a multiple of SCS.

[0196] Optionally, the network side may deploy or configure MRSS to share a frequency band with the second wireless technology, or deploy or coexist with the second wireless technology, or the second wireless technology may share a frequency band with the first wireless technology, or deploy or coexist with the first wireless technology, or the second wireless technology may be present.

[0197] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0198] (1) For the first frequency domain, the terminal does not perform the first operation at frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10 kHz or multiples of 10 kHz, 100 kHz or multiples of 100 kHz, or 500 kHz or multiples of 500 kHz.

[0199] (2) When MRSS and the second wireless technology share a frequency band, are deployed or coexist on the same frequency, the terminal does not perform the first operation at frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10 kHz or multiples of 10 kHz, 100 kHz or multiples of 100 kHz, or 500 kHz or multiples of 500 kHz.

[0200] (3) When the second wireless technology shares a frequency band with the first wireless technology, or is deployed or coexists with it, the terminal does not perform the first operation at frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10kHz or multiples of 10kHz, 100kHz or multiples of 100kHz, or 500kHz or multiples of 500kHz.

[0201] (4) If the second wireless technology is present, the terminal does not perform the first operation at frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10 kHz or multiples of 10 kHz, 100 kHz or multiples of 100 kHz, or 500 kHz or multiples of 500 kHz.

[0202] In one embodiment of this application,

[0203] For the first frequency domain, frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10kHz or multiples of 10kHz, 100kHz or multiples of 100kHz, or 500kHz or multiples of 500kHz are not used for the first wireless technology.

[0204] or,

[0205] For MRRS, frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10 kHz or multiples of 10 kHz, 100 kHz or multiples of 100 kHz, or 500 kHz or multiples of 500 kHz are not used for the first wireless technology.

[0206] or,

[0207] The second wireless technology shares a frequency band with the first wireless technology, or is deployed or coexists with it at the same frequency. The frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10kHz or multiples of 10kHz, 100kHz or multiples of 100kHz, or 500kHz or multiples of 500kHz are not used for the first wireless technology.

[0208] or,

[0209] The second wireless technology exists, and the frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10kHz or multiples of 10kHz, 100kHz or multiples of 100kHz, or 500kHz or multiples of 500kHz are not used for the first wireless technology.

[0210] It is understood that, for the first frequency domain, or when MRSS and the second wireless technology share a frequency band, are deployed or coexist on the same frequency, or when the second wireless technology and the first wireless technology share a frequency band, are deployed or coexist on the same frequency, or when the second wireless technology exists, the frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10kHz or multiples of 10kHz, 100kHz or multiples of 100kHz, or 500kHz or multiples of 500kHz are not used for the first wireless technology.

[0211] Understandably, the protocol may still include frequency positions corresponding to intervals of 10kHz or multiples of 10kHz, 100kHz or multiples of 100kHz, or 500kHz or multiples of 500kHz. However, in cases where MRSS shares frequency bands with or is deployed or coexists with a second wireless technology, it may not be considered or actually used in order to ensure compatibility with 5G.

[0212] In one embodiment of this application, for the first frequency domain, the frequency position determined based on the seventh interval is not used for the second wireless technology, or the terminal does not perform the first operation at the frequency position determined based on the seventh interval;

[0213] or,

[0214] The second wireless technology shares a frequency band with the first wireless technology, or is deployed or coexists with it on the same frequency. The frequency position determined based on the seventh interval is not used for the second wireless technology, or the terminal does not perform the first operation at the frequency position determined based on the seventh interval.

[0215] or,

[0216] There is a second wireless technology, the frequency position determined based on the seventh interval is not used for the second wireless technology, or the terminal does not perform the first operation at the frequency position determined based on the seventh interval;

[0217] The seventh interval satisfies at least one of the following: the seventh interval is determined based on 10 kHz or a multiple of 10 kHz; the seventh interval is determined based on 100 kHz or a multiple of 100 kHz; the seventh interval is not determined based on SCS or a multiple of SCS. For example, if the seventh interval is 100 kHz or 10 kHz, the corresponding frequency position cannot be used for the second wireless technology, such as 5G. Optionally, the frequency position corresponding to SCS or a multiple of SCS can be used for the second wireless technology.

[0218] For example, when MRSS and 5G share frequency bands, are deployed on the same frequency, or coexist, 5G is not allowed to use the frequency positions corresponding to 10kHz or multiples of 10kHz, or 100kHz or multiples of 100kHz on the frequency band. The above restrictions can be indicated to the terminal by the network side.

[0219] In one embodiment of this application, the first frequency domain includes at least a portion of the following frequency domains:

[0220] (1) Frequency domain used to support MRSS and second wireless technologies to share frequency bands or be deployed or coexist on the same frequency;

[0221] For example, the frequency domain includes, but is not limited to: 0–6 GHz, or 0–7.125 GHz.

[0222] (2) A frequency domain used to support the second wireless technology and the first wireless technology to share a frequency band or to be deployed or coexist in the same frequency;

[0223] For example, the frequency domain includes, but is not limited to, 0–6 GHz or 0–7.125 GHz.

[0224] (3) 6GHz-8GHz, or 7.125GHz-8GHz;

[0225] (4) 6GHz-15GHz, or 7.125GHz-15GHz;

[0226] (5) 6GHz-24.25GHz, or 7.125GHz-24.25GHz;

[0227] (6) Frequency range above 100 GHz.

[0228] In one embodiment of this application, the SCS is 60 kHz. For example, the first interval is 60 kHz or a multiple of 60 kHz. In this embodiment, FR1 or FR3 introduces a channel grid based on an interval of 60 kHz.

[0229] In one embodiment of this application, the frequency position, the first frequency position, or the second frequency position is located in the second frequency domain;

[0230] Wherein, the second frequency domain includes at least a portion of the following frequency domains:

[0231] (1) 6GHz-8GHz, or 7.125GHz-8GHz;

[0232] (2) 6GHz-15GHz, or 7.125GHz-15GHz;

[0233] (3) 6GHz-24.25GHz, or 7.125GHz-24.25GHz;

[0234] (4) 3GHz-6GHz, or 3GHz-7.125GHz;

[0235] (5) Frequency range less than 3 GHz;

[0236] (6) Frequency range above 100 GHz.

[0237] In this embodiment, defining the frequency position in the above manner can effectively reduce the number of times the terminal searches for synchronization signals while ensuring the flexibility of network-side equipment, thereby effectively saving the power consumption of the terminal.

[0238] In one embodiment of this application, the length of the first step is 4 or 12 or a multiple of 4 or 12, and the first interval is 60 kHz or a multiple of 60 kHz.

[0239] For example, the frequency granularity (ΔF) corresponding to ARFCN or global frequency grid under FR1. Global The current is 5kHz or 15kHz, and the first step length can be 12 or 4.

[0240] In another embodiment of this application, the first step has a length equal to 1, and the frequency granularity (ΔF) of the first frequency position is... Global The first interval is 60 kHz or a multiple of 60 kHz.

[0241] In another embodiment of this application, the frequency granularity (ΔF) Global The first interval is 60 kHz or a multiple of 60 kHz.

[0242] The frequency granularity mentioned above is the granularity for dividing frequency domain resources.

[0243] Optionally, the gap corresponding to ARFCN is ΔF. Global .

[0244] In this embodiment, by defining the first step length in the above manner, the first wireless technology and the second wireless technology can share frequency bands, be deployed at the same frequency, or coexist. In addition, while ensuring the flexibility of network-side equipment, the number of times the terminal searches for synchronization signals can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively saving the power consumption of the terminal.

[0245] In one embodiment of this application, the multiple includes at least one of the following: -36, -30, -27, -24, -21, -18, -15, -13.5, -12, -10.5, -9, -6, -4.5, -3, -1.5, 0, +1.5, +3, +4.5, +6, +9, +10.5, +12, +13.5, +15, +18, +21, +24, +27, +30, +36.

[0246] The aforementioned multiplier can be any value representing the possible offset between the transmission bandwidth centers under the same carrier bandwidth but different SCS. By introducing this level of relaxation, unnecessary grid flexibility can be reduced. For example, if the grid spacing is one subcarrier, but in reality, the offset between the centers of a single carrier under different SCS can only be 0 or 6 subcarriers, then in the case of multiple coexisting SCS, several grids will actually not be used. Thus, when the multiplier is 6, the number of grids can be reduced while maintaining flexibility.
