[0013] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following examples do not represent all embodiments consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of embodiments of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0014] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to describe particular embodiments only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

These terms are used only to distinguish between pieces of information of the same type. For example, first information may be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to a determination."

[0016] Referring to Figure 1, a schematic block diagram of a wireless communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 1, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system includes several user equipments 110 and several base stations 120.

[0017] Here, user equipment 110 may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. User equipment 110 can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN) and may be a sensor device, a mobile phone (also called a "cellular phone"), or an Internet of Things user device, such as a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, or computer-integrated device. For example, user equipment 110 may be a station (STA), subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile, remote station, access point, remote user equipment, access terminal, user device, user agent, user device, or user equipment. Alternatively, user equipment 110 may be an unmanned aerial vehicle device. Alternatively, user equipment 110 may be an in-vehicle device, such as a drive computer with wireless communication capabilities, or wireless user equipment for an external drive computer. Alternatively, the user equipment 110 may be a roadside device, such as a street light, a traffic light, or other roadside equipment having a wireless communication function.

[0018] The base station 120 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system may be a 4th generation mobile communication (4G) system, also known as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or a 5G system, also known as a New Radio system or 5G NR system, or a next-generation system of the 5G system. The access network in the 5G system may be called a New Generation-Radio Access Network (NG-RAN).

[0019] Here, the base station 120 may be an evolved base station (eNB) used in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 120 may be a base station (gNB) using a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the base station 120 uses a centralized distributed architecture, it generally includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The centralized unit is provided with protocol stacks for a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The distributed units are provided with a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific implementation of the base station 120.

[0020] A wireless connection may be established between the base station 120 and the user equipment 110 via an air interface. In different embodiments, the air interface is an air interface based on a fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard. Alternatively, the air interface is an air interface based on a fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the air interface may be a new radio, or the air interface may be an air interface based on a 5G next-generation mobile communication network technology standard.

[0021] In some embodiments, end-to-end (E2E) connections may be established between user equipment 110, such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications in telematics communications (vehicle-to-everything, V2X), vehicle-to-roadside device (V2I) communications, and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communications.

[0022] Here, the above user equipment can be the terminal device in the following embodiments.

[0023] In some embodiments, the wireless communication system may further include a network management device 130 .

[0024] The base stations 120 are each connected to a network management device 130. In this case, the network management device 130 may be a core network device in a wireless communication system, for example, a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network. Alternatively, the network management device may be another core network device, such as a Serving GateWay (SGW), a Public Data Network GateWay (PGW), a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or a Home Subscriber Server (HSS). The implementation of the network management device 130 is not limiting to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0025] To better understand the technical solution described in any embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement gap schedule when the UE performs measurements will be first partially described.

[0026] In one embodiment, the measurement gap can be configured by Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration or RRC reconfiguration. The BWP switching method can be configured by any of the following methods: RRC configuration, RRC reconfiguration, Downlink Control Information (DCI) configuration, and timer configuration. Thus, when the activated Bandwidth Part (BWP) of a UE is switched, if the BWP switching is performed by the Downlink Control Information (DCI) or timer method, the network must always assume and use the measurement gap for measurement so that the UE can measure reference signals based on the measurement gap when switching. However, assuming that the network always assumes and uses the measurement gap for measurement can result in a loss of throughput in the network and the UE.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the activated BWP of the UE at time T0 is BWP1, and the UE does not require a measurement gap for target measurement cell 1, but requires a measurement gap for target measurement cell 2 and target measurement cell 3. When the activated BWP of the UE switches to BWP2, the UE does not require a measurement gap for target measurement cell 3, but requires a measurement gap for target measurement cell 1 and target measurement cell 3. Thus, in practice, when the activated BWP of the UE switches to a different BWP, whether the measurement targets corresponding to each BWP require a measurement gap is not necessarily the same. If the network always sets a measurement gap for each BWP, measurement efficiency will be significantly reduced, and the UE throughput performance will be reduced.

[0028] Those skilled in the art will understand that the technical solutions of each embodiment may be implemented alone or together with any other technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method for measurement gap pre-configuration, where the method is performed by a UE and includes step S31. In step S31, measurement gap indication information is received, which indicates whether the UE requires a measurement gap in the configured BWP.

[0030] In one embodiment, the UE may be a variety of mobile or fixed terminals, such as, but not limited to, a mobile phone, a computer, a server, a wearable device, a game control platform, or a multimedia device.

[0031] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method for measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being executed by a UE and including the steps of receiving measurement gap indication information sent from a base station, where the measurement gap indication information indicates whether the UE requires a measurement gap in a configured BWP.

[0032] In one embodiment, the base station may be a base station of various types, for example, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station, or other evolved base station.

[0033] In one embodiment, the BWP configured for the UE may be a BWP that the UE can switch to when switching. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the configured BWP may be BWP2.

[0034] In one embodiment, the UE may have one or more BWPs configured. For example, the UE may have four BWPs configured, namely, BWP1, BWP2, BWP3, and BWP4. Here, the configured BWPs may include the BWPs activated before the UE performs the handover, or may not include the BWPs activated before the UE performs the handover.

[0035] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information indicates whether the UE should configure a measurement gap in the configured BWP. Thus, the embodiment of the present disclosure can inform the UE whether to configure a measurement gap in the configured BWP through the measurement gap indication information received by the UE.

[0036] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is used to determine whether to activate measurement gaps in at least the BWPs configured in the UE. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure allows the UE to know, based on the measurement gap indication information received by the UE, which BWPs' measurement gaps need to be activated and / or which measurement BWPs' measurement gaps do not need to be activated among the BWPs configured in the UE, thereby enabling early activation of measurement gaps in the BWPs before switching BWPs and improving measurement efficiency.

[0037] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information indicates whether the UE configures a measurement gap in the configured BWP and whether the UE activates the measurement gap in the configured BWP. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can simultaneously configure a measurement gap in the configured BWP and activate the measurement gap, thereby improving the efficiency of measurements by the UE.

[0038] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information indicates whether the UE requires measurement gaps for all BWPs configured for the UE. For example, if the BWPs configured for the UE include BWP1, BWP2, BWP3, and BWP4, the measurement gap indication information indicates whether measurement gaps are required for BWP1, BWP2, BWP3, and BWP4. In this manner, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement gap indication information configured by the base station can determine whether measurement gaps are required for all BWPs configured for the UE.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the measurement gap indication information indicates whether a measurement gap is required for at least some of the BWPs configured for the UE. For example, if the BWPs configured for the UE include BWP1, BWP2, BWP3, and BWP4, the measurement gap indication information indicates whether a measurement gap is required for at least BWP1, or whether a measurement gap is required for at least BWP1, BWP2, and BWP3. In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement gap indication information configured by the base station can indicate whether a measurement gap is required for at least some of the BWPs configured for the UE.

[0040] Of course, in other embodiments, the measurement gap indication information may indicate in advance whether the UE requires a measurement gap in the configured BWP.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a UE can receive measurement gap indication information, which is used to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement gap in the configured BWP. In this way, the UE can be informed in advance of whether it needs a measurement gap in the configured BWP, eliminating the need to temporarily search and determine whether the configured BWP needs a measurement gap, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0042] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure can inform the UE whether a measurement gap is required in the configured BWP, so that when the UE switches to the configured BWP, the UE can use or not use a measurement gap in the BWP based on the activated measurement gap indication information or the deactivated measurement gap indication information, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the UE measurements and the UE throughput.

[0043] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being performed by a UE and including the steps of receiving measurement gap indication information, where the measurement gap indication information indicates whether the UE requires measurement gaps for all measurement objects in a configured BWP.

[0044] In one embodiment, one BWP has one or more measurement objects, where the measurement objects may be measurement carriers.

[0045] In this manner, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by receiving measurement gap indication information transmitted from the base station, the UE can determine whether measurement gaps are required for all measurement targets in each BWP.

[0046] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method for measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being performed by a UE and including the steps of receiving measurement gap indication information, where the measurement gap indication information indicates whether the UE requires a measurement gap for some measurement objects in a configured BWP.

[0047] In this manner, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by receiving measurement gap indication information transmitted from the base station, the UE can determine whether measurement gaps are required for some measurement targets in each BWP.

[0048] In some embodiments, the measurement gap indication information comprises: Activation measurement gap indication information for indicating at least one measurement object that requires a measurement gap in the BWP configured by the UE; and deactivation measurement gap indication information for indicating at least one measurement object for which a measurement gap is not required in the BWP configured by the UE.

[0049] In another embodiment, the measurement gap indication information comprises: Activation measurement gap indication information for activating a measurement gap to be measured in the BWP configured in the UE; and deactivation measurement gap indication information for deactivating a measurement gap to be measured in the BWP configured in the UE.

[0050] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method for measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being performed by a UE and including the steps of receiving activation measurement gap indication information, where the activation measurement gap indication information indicates at least one measurement object for which the UE needs to configure a measurement gap in a configured BWP.

[0051] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being performed by a UE and including the steps of receiving activation measurement gap indication information, where the activation measurement gap indication information includes activating a measurement gap to be measured in a BWP configured in the UE.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to activate a measurement gap for a measurement object in a BWP configured in a UE, it is necessary to first set a measurement gap for the measurement object in the BWP configured in the UE. In this way, an embodiment of the present disclosure can first set a measurement gap for a measurement object in a BWP configured in the UE and then activate the measurement gap for this measurement object, thereby enabling early activation of the measurement gap for the measurement object and improving the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0053] Here, receiving the activation measurement gap indication information may be receiving the activation measurement gap indication information transmitted from a base station.

[0054] Here, the activated measurement gap indication information may indicate at least one measurement object for which the UE requires a measurement gap among all or some measurement objects in the configured BWP.

[0055] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method for measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being performed by a UE and including the step of receiving deactivation measurement gap indication information, where the deactivation measurement gap indication information indicates at least one measurement object for which a measurement gap does not need to be configured in a BWP configured by the UE.

[0056] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being performed by a UE and including the steps of receiving deactivation measurement gap indication information, where the deactivation measurement gap indication information includes deactivating a measurement gap to be measured in a BWP configured in the UE.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to deactivate a measurement gap for a measurement in a BWP configured in a UE, it is necessary to first set a measurement gap for the measurement target in the BWP configured in the UE. In this way, an embodiment of the present disclosure can first set a measurement gap for the measurement target in the BWP configured in the UE and then deactivate the measurement gap for this measurement target, thereby enabling early deactivation of the measurement gap for the measurement target and improving the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0058] Here, the deactivation measurement gap indication information may be receiving a deactivation measurement gap indication information sent from a base station.

[0059] Here, the deactivation measurement gap indication information may indicate at least one measurement object for which the UE does not require a measurement gap among all or some of the measurement objects in the configured BWP.

[0060] For example, there may be four BWPs: BWP1, BWP2, BWP3, and BWP4. Each of the four target objects has q measurement objects, where the i-th measurement object is represented by MO_i, the j-th measurement object is represented by MO_j, and both i and j are less than q.

[0061] For example, the activation measurement gap indication information may indicate which of the measurement objects in the four BWPs has a measurement gap set, or the deactivation measurement gap indication information may indicate which of the measurement objects in the four BWPs has no measurement gap set. For example, the activation measurement gap indication information indicates that a measurement gap is set for the i-th measurement object, and the deactivation measurement gap indication information indicates that no measurement gap is set for the j-th measurement object.

[0062] Alternatively, the activation measurement gap indication information activates the measurement gaps of the measurement objects in these four BWPs. The deactivation measurement indication information deactivates the measurement gaps of the measurement objects in these four BWPs. For example, activation={MO_i} activates the measurement gap of the i-th measurement object. In this way, a measurement gap is required to measure the i-th measurement object. Or, deactivation={MO_j} activates the measurement gap of the j-th measurement object. In this way, a measurement gap is not required to measure the j-th measurement object. Here, i, j, and q are all integers greater than 0.

[0063] Of course, in the above example, each BWP does not necessarily have to have q measurands. The measurands in each BWP can be the same or different. For example, there could be g measurands for BWP1, q measurands for BWP2, z measurands for BWP3, and q measurands for BWP4, where g, q, and z are all integers greater than or equal to I, and g, q, and z are all integers greater than or equal to j.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the activation measurement gap indication information may indicate a measurement gap for a measurement object for which a measurement gap is set and / or a measurement gap for an activated measurement object, and / or the deactivation measurement gap indication information may indicate a measurement gap for a measurement object for which a measurement gap is not set and / or a measurement gap for a deactivated measurement object.

[0065] In one embodiment, one measurement object includes one measurement carrier. For example, the activation measurement gap indication information indicates at least one measurement carrier for which a measurement gap is required in the configured BWP of the UE. For example, the deactivation measurement gap indication information indicates at least one measurement carrier for which a measurement gap is not required in the configured BWP of the UE.

[0066] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing measurement gap pre-configuration, which is performed by a UE and may include a step of determining whether the UE requires a measurement gap in a configured BWP based on measurement gap indication information.

[0067] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method for measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being executed by a UE and including a step of determining, based on activation measurement gap indication information, at least one measurement object that requires a measurement gap in a BWP configured by the UE.

[0068] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method for measurement gap pre-configuration, the method being executed by a UE and including a step of determining, based on deactivation measurement gap indication information, at least one measurement object that does not require a measurement gap in a BWP configured by the UE.

[0069] In one embodiment, the measurements by the UE include, but are not limited to, RRM measurements and mobility measurements, where mobility measurements include SSB measurements and / or CSI-RS measurements.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can determine whether the UE requires a measurement gap in the configured BWP based on the measurement gap indication information, and more specifically, can determine measurement objects for which a measurement gap needs to be set in the BWP configured for the UE based on the activation measurement gap indication information and / or activate the measurement gap for the measurement object, and / or can determine measurement objects for which a measurement gap does not need to be set in the BWP configured for the UE based on the deactivation measurement gap indication information and / or not activate the measurement gap for the measurement object.

[0071] In this manner, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can early know whether all measurement objects in the BWP configured in the UE require measurement gaps (i.e., including measurement objects for which measurement gaps need to be configured or not needed in the BWP configured in the UE, and including activating or deactivating measurement gaps for the measurement objects configured in the UE). In this manner, when switching to the configured BWP, the UE can use or not use measurement gaps for the measurement objects in the BWP based on the activation measurement gap indication information or the deactivation measurement gap indication information. In other words, the UE can perform measurements based on measurement gaps for measurement objects for which measurement gaps are activated, and not perform measurements based on measurement gaps for measurement objects for which measurement gaps are deactivated. In this manner, the measurement efficiency of measurements by the UE and the UE throughput can be improved.

[0072] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the methods provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed alone or together with some methods of the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods of related art.

This eliminates the need to temporarily determine whether a measurement gap is set for the measurement object in the BWP and whether the measurement gap should be activated, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of measurements by the UE.

[0083] In one embodiment, RRC layer signaling can be sent once, for example, RRC layer signaling containing measurement gap indication information indicating whether the UE requires a measurement gap in the configured BWP and whether the UE activates a measurement gap in the configured BWP.

[0084] In another embodiment, the RRC layer signaling can be sent twice, for example, a first RRC layer signaling and a second RRC layer signaling, the first RRC layer signaling including measurement gap indication information indicating whether the UE requires a measurement gap in the configured BWP, and the second RRC layer signaling including measurement gap indication information indicating whether the UE activates a measurement gap in the configured BWP.
