[0159] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems using other carrier measurement methods, and next-generation systems based on these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0160] In some embodiments, a terminal needs to perform mobility measurements on one or more measurement objects (MOs) configured by the network device (MOs correspond to measurements of neighboring cell signals and other carrier signals) and report the measurement results to the network device, which determines the terminal's current communication status and performs mobility management. Due to manufacturing costs and shape constraints, a terminal can only operate on the same frequency at any given time and can only measure the MO centered on that frequency.

[0161] The terminal can easily measure signals from neighboring cells operating at the same frequency as the current operating frequency, simultaneously transmitting and receiving data on the serving cell. However, when measuring signals on different frequencies (inter-frequency neighboring cells) or other systems (other wireless networks operating on 5G NR frequencies), communication (TX / RX) with the serving cell must be suspended. The RF module must be adjusted to the configured frequency, and the connection to the serving cell must be restored after a period of time. The time interval during which the terminal suspends communication with the serving cell to measure inter-frequency neighboring cells or other wireless neighboring cells is called a measurement gap.

[0162] In some embodiments, the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal. Due to the limitations of software and hardware capabilities, the terminal is limited in the number of measurements that can be performed in parallel. Once the number of MOs configured by the network device for the UE exceeds the terminal's capabilities, the terminal must perform measurements on each MO in a time-sharing manner.

[0163] For each MO measurement, time division inevitably increases the time required to collect the required measurement samples. This results in a proportional increase in the measured latency. This is where the concept of a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) is introduced. This factor multiplies the original single-carrier (MO) latency by a scaling factor.

[0164] For multiple MOs that need to be measured based on MG, there may be multiple MOs competing for MG occasions. At this time, the terminal needs to determine the scaling factor of each MO to determine the corresponding measurement requirements, such as the measurement interval in the time domain. At this time, the scaling factor corresponding to each MO#i is CSSF within_gap,i ;

[0165] For multiple configured MOs that do not need to be measured based on MG, measurements are performed based on SMTC. There may be multiple MOs competing for SMTC occasions. At this time, the terminal also needs to determine the scaling factor of each MO to determine the corresponding measurement requirements, such as the measurement interval in the time domain. At this time, the scaling factor corresponding to each MO#i is CSSF outside_gap,i .

[0166] In some embodiments, latency requirement = number of configured MOs * time required to obtain a specific MO measurement sample result. Optionally, the number of configured MOs is a scaling factor. Optionally, the scaling factor is a CSSF parameter. Optionally, the time required to obtain a specific MO measurement result is related to the product of the number of beam scans and the number of sampling points.

[0167] In some embodiments, in some embodiments, the maximum value is taken from the first value and the second value as the delay requirement. Optionally, the first value is 600ms (milliseconds), 800ms or other values. Optionally, the second value is the product of the third value, the fourth value and the scaling factor. The third value is a value rounded up based on the product of the delay parameter, the first parameter, the second parameter and the third parameter. The fourth value is the SMTC (SSB Measurement Timing Configuration) period (duration). It should be noted that the DRX (Discontinuous Reception) cycle in this case is 0.

[0168] In some embodiments, the maximum value between the first value and the second value is taken as the delay requirement. Optionally, the first value is 600 ms (milliseconds), 800 ms, or other values. Optionally, the second value is the product of the third value, the fourth value, and the scaling factor. The third value is a value rounded up based on the product of the delay parameter, the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter. The fourth value is the maximum value between the SMTC period and the DRX cycle. It should be noted that the DRX cycle in this case is less than 320 ms.

[0169] In some embodiments, the delay requirement is the product of the third value, the fourth value, and the scaling factor. The third value is a value rounded up based on the product of the delay parameter, the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter. The fourth value is the DRX cycle. It should be noted that in this case, the DRX cycle is greater than 320 ms.

Among them, Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps: For a UE supporting FR2-1 power class 1 or 5,Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps=40.For a UE supporting power class 2,Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps=24.For a UE supporting FR2-1 power class 3,Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps=24.For a UE supporting FR2-1 power class 4,Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps=24.For a UE supporting FR2-2 power class 1,Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps=60.For a UE supporting FR2-2 power class 2,Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps=36.For a UE supporting FR2-2power class 3,Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps=36.

[0183] In some embodiments, the terminal obtains the second information from a higher layer.

[0184] In some embodiments, the terminal performs processing to obtain the second information.

[0185] In some embodiments, step S2102 is omitted, and the terminal autonomously implements the function indicated by the second information, or the above function is default or acquiescent.

[0186] Step S2103: The terminal sends the first information.

[0187] In some embodiments, the network device receives the first information. In some embodiments, the network device receives the first information sent by the terminal.

[0188] In some embodiments, the terminal sends first information to the network device.

[0189] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal supports measuring the carrier using the first measurement method. Alternatively, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal has the capability to measure the carrier using the first measurement method.

[0190] In some embodiments, the first measurement mode includes measuring a first type of carrier among the different types of carriers;

[0191] The measurement results of the first type of carrier are used to determine the measurement results of other carriers except the first type of carrier, or the carriers other than the first type are measured according to the delay parameter, and the delay parameter is used to indicate the delay requirement of the measured carrier, and the delay parameter is less than the value agreed upon in the communication protocol.

[0192] In some embodiments, the delay parameter is determined based on the first number of sample points. It can also be understood that carriers other than the first type of carrier are measured according to the first number of sample points, and the first number of sample points is less than the value agreed in the communication protocol.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first measurement method includes measuring a first type of carrier among the different types of carriers, or reducing the number of sampling points of other carriers except the first type of carrier.

[0194] Optionally, the first type of carrier is any type of carrier among different types of carriers. For example, if the different types of carriers include type 1, type 2, and type 3 carriers, the first type may be type 1, type 2, or type 3.

[0195] In some embodiments, the number of sampling points refers to the number of sample points required for the terminal to obtain a measurement result that meets the measurement accuracy requirement when performing measurement.

[0196] In some embodiments, reducing the number of sampling points of carriers other than the first type of carriers refers to reducing the number of sample points required for measuring measurement results of the other carriers.

[0197] In some embodiments, the name of the first measurement method is not limited, and can be, for example, a measurement index, a parameter index, etc.

[0198] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and can be, for example, capability information, capability instruction, indication information, etc.

[0199] Step S2104: The network device obtains first information.

[0200] In some embodiments, the network device receives the first information. In some embodiments, the network device receives the first information sent by the terminal.

[0201] In some embodiments, the network device may determine the capability of the terminal indicated by the first information by acquiring the first information. For example, if the first information is used to instruct the terminal to measure a first type of carrier among different types of carriers, the network device may determine, based on the first information, that the terminal has the capability to measure the first type of carrier among different types of carriers.

[0202] In some embodiments, the FR2 carriers of intra-band CA / DC are typically co-located, and the UE typically uses the same RF front-end to perform measurements on the PCC or PSCC and SCC(s). In this case, when performing UE measurements on a particular CC, measurements of other CCs in the intra-band can be enhanced based on this measurement, thereby reducing measurement reporting latency.

[0203] Step S2105: For different types of carriers, the terminal performs measurement according to the first measurement method to obtain measurement results.

[0204] In some embodiments, the different types of carriers are located in the same frequency band. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal measures different types of carriers in the same frequency band according to the first measurement method to obtain measurement results.

[0205] In some embodiments, the same frequency band refers to a frequency band defined by a protocol, that is, if the different types of carriers are located in the same frequency band, it means that the frequency bands where the different types of carriers are located have the same frequency band number.

[0206] In some embodiments, the different types of carriers are located in the same frequency band, which belongs to the FR2 frequency band. In some embodiments, different types of carriers are located in the same frequency band, which means that the frequency bands of the different types of carriers are the same. Alternatively, the frequencies of the different types of carriers are the same. Alternatively, the frequencies of the frequency bands of the different types of carriers are the same.

[0207] In some embodiments, different types of carriers are located in the FR2 frequency band. Optionally, the frequency range of the FR2 frequency band is 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. Optionally, the FR2 frequency band includes multiple sub-bands. The same frequency band means that the carriers are located in the same sub-band.

[0208] In some embodiments, the terminal measures different types of carriers in the FR2 frequency band to obtain measurement results.

[0209] In some embodiments, the types of different carriers include at least two of the following:

[0210] FR2 PSCC (Primary Sencondary Carrier Component, primary and auxiliary carrier);

[0211] Primary Carrier Component (PCC) for FR2 (Frequency range 2);

[0212] FR2 SCC that requires neighboring cell measurements;

[0213] FR2 SCC that does not require neighboring cell measurements;

[0214] Inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement intervals under FR2;

[0215] In FR2, there is no need for measurement intervals for heterogeneous system MO.

[0216] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure is described using the carrier of the FR2 frequency band as an example. In another embodiment, the terminal will also measure the carriers of other frequency bands. Optionally, the other frequency band is the FR1 frequency band. For example, it is the PCC of FR1 (Frequency range 1); the PSCC (Primary Sencondary Carrier Component) of FR1, the inter-frequency MO that does not require a measurement interval under FR1, and the inter-system MO that does not require a measurement interval under FR1.

[0217] In some embodiments, the first measurement method includes measuring a first type of carrier among the different types of carriers, or reducing the number of sampling points of carriers other than the first type of carrier.

[0218] Optionally, the first measurement mode includes measuring a first type of carrier among different types of carriers. Alternatively, it can be understood that, for different types of carriers, the terminal measures the first type of carrier among different types of carriers.

[0219] Optionally, the first measurement method includes reducing the number of sampling points of carriers other than the first type of carrier. Alternatively, it can be understood that for different types of carriers, the terminal reduces the number of sampling points of carriers other than the first type of carrier for measurement.

[0220] In some embodiments, for different types of carriers, a first type of carrier among the different types of carriers is measured to obtain a measurement result of the first type of carrier, and the measurement result of the first type of carrier is used for measurement results of other carriers other than the first type of carrier. The measurement result used for the other carriers other than the first type of carrier includes using the measurement result of the first type of carrier as the measurement reporting result of the other carriers other than the first type of carrier.

[0221] Optionally, for different types of carriers, after measuring a first type of carrier to obtain a measurement result, the measurement result of the first type of carrier is used for measurement results of other carriers other than the first type of carrier. Furthermore, other carriers other than the first type of carrier refer to: carriers of different types other than the first type in the same frequency band.

[0222] In some embodiments, when measuring the first type of carrier, a scaling factor for the first type of carrier is determined based on the first type. In some embodiments, the scaling factor is used to determine a delay for measuring the first type of carrier.

[0223] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by determining the scaling factor of the first type, the terminal uses the measurement result of the first type as the measurement result of other carriers except the first type.

[0224] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a scaling factor of the first type according to the first type and a priority of the first type, and the scaling factor is determined according to the number of carriers belonging to the first type.

[0225] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the priorities of different types of carriers are fixed in advance, and the terminal can directly determine the scaling factor of the first type according to the first type and the priority of the first type.

[0226] Optionally, if the priority of the first type is the highest, or in other words, the priority of the first type is higher than the priorities of other types, then the scaling factor of the first type is 1.

[0227] Optionally, if the priority of the first type is not the highest priority, or it can be said that the priority of the first type is lower than the priorities of other types, it is necessary to obtain the number of carriers of the first type and then determine the priority of the carriers of the first type.

[0228] In some embodiments, the scaling factor does not take into account carriers of different types other than the first type of carrier. Alternatively, the scaling factor does not take into account carriers of different types other than the first type of carrier.

[0229] For example, in the EN-DC scenario, if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, the scaling factor does not take into account the FR2 carrier to be measured; or if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, the scaling factor does not take into account the FR2 carrier to be measured.

[0230] For example, for the SA scenario, if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PCC, the scaling factor does not consider the FR2 frequency band to be measured; otherwise, if the FR2 frequency band to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, the scaling factor does not consider the FR2 carrier to be measured.

[0231] For example, in the NR-DC scenario, if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, the scaling factor does not take into account the FR2 carrier to be measured.

[0232] For example, in the NE-DC scenario, if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2PSCC, the scaling factor does not consider the FR2 frequency band to be measured; otherwise, if the CC in which the FR2 frequency band to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, the scaling factor does not consider the FR2 carrier to be measured.

[0233] In some embodiments, the terminal needs to determine a first type of carrier. The following describes how the terminal determines the first type of carrier.

[0234] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a first type of carrier among different types of carriers according to a communication scenario in which the terminal is currently located, and performs measurement in a first measurement manner based on the first type of carrier to obtain a measurement result.

[0235] Optionally, the communication scenario includes at least one of the following:

[0236] EN-DC (E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity, LTE and 5G dual connectivity) scenario;

[0237] SA (Standalone, independent networking) scenario;

[0238] NR-DC (New Radio-Dual Connectivity) scenario;

[0239] NE-DC (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, 5G and LTE dual connectivity) scenario.

[0240] In some embodiments, the EN-DC scenario includes at least one of the following:

[0241] Only ENDC scenarios with FR1 CA exist;

[0242] Only ENDC scenarios with CA in the FR2 band exist;

[0243] Only ENDC scenarios with FR2 inter-band CA exist;

[0244] ENDC scenario with FR1+FR2 CA and PSCell in FR1;

[0245] ENDC scenario with FR1+FR2 CA and PSCell in FR2.

[0246] In some embodiments, the SA scenario includes at least one of the following:

[0247] Only SA scenarios with FR1 CA exist;

[0248] There is only SA scenario with CA in FR2 band;

[0249] There is only SA scenario with FR2 inter-band CA;

[0250] SA scenario with FR1+FR2 CA and PCell in FR1;

[0251] SA scenario with FR1+FR2 CA and PCell in FR2.

[0252] In some embodiments, the NR-DC scenario includes: an NR-DC scenario in which the PCell is in FR1 and the PSCell is in FR2.

[0253] In some embodiments, the NE-DC scenario includes at least one of the following:

[0254] NE-DC with FR1-only CA;

[0255] NE-DC with only FR2 intra-band CA;

[0256] NE-DC with only FR2 inter-band CA;

[0257] There is FR1 and FR2 CA, and the PCell is in NE-DC of FR1.

[0258] In some embodiments, different communication scenarios may correspond to different types of measurement objects.

[0259] Optionally, if the communication scenario is an ENDC scenario with only FR1 CA, it includes FR1 PSCC, FR1 SCC, and inter-frequency MO that does not require MG.

[0260] Optionally, if the communication scenario is an ENDC scenario with only CA in the FR2 band, it includes FR2 PSCC, FR2 SCC that does not require neighboring cell measurement, and inter-frequency MO that does not require MG.

[0261] Optionally, if the communication scenario is an ENDC scenario with only FR2 inter-band CA, it includes FR2 PSCC, FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement, FR2 SCC not requiring neighbor cell measurement, and inter-frequency MO not requiring MG.

[0262] Optionally, if the communication scenario is an ENDC scenario with FR1+FR2 CA and PSCell in FR1, it includes FR1 PSCC, FR1 SCC, FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement, FR2 SCC not requiring neighbor cell measurement, and inter-frequency MO not requiring MG.

[0263] Optionally, if the communication scenario is an ENDC scenario with FR1+FR2 CA and PSCell in FR2, it includes FR1 SCC, FR2 PSCC, FR2 SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement, and inter-frequency MO that does not require MG.

[0264] The present disclosure takes the ENDC scenario as an example. For other scenarios, different types of carriers included in the scenario are determined according to actual conditions of the other scenarios.

[0265] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first type is determined according to the communication scenario, that is, the scaling factor in the embodiment of the present disclosure also needs to be determined according to the communication scenario.

[0266] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a scaling factor for the first type of carrier according to the communication scenario and the first type.

[0267] Furthermore, the terminal determines a scaling factor of the first type according to the communication scenario, the first type, and the priority of the first type.

[0268] In some embodiments, see Table 1 for an explanation of how to determine the scaling factor.

[0269] Table 1

[0270] It should be noted that if the first measurement method includes reducing the number of sampling points of carriers other than the first type of carrier, the terminal can determine the scaling factor based on different types of carriers. SCC_SSB or N SCC_CSIRS All indicate the number of FR1 SCCs.

[0271] In other embodiments, the calculation of the scaling factor can also be based on layer 1 measurements, and the measurements at this time need to consider CSI-RS based measurements and measurements on the band. PSCC_CSIRS Consider the measurement type based on CSI-RS, N PSCC_CCA_RSSI / CO It is the measurement type considered on the unlicensed band. In the case of different types of measurement objects, N PSCC_CSIRS and N PSCC_CCA_RSSI / CO .

[0272] For example, referring to Table 2, the scaling factor may be determined as follows:

[0273] Table 2

[0274] Where Y is the number of FR2 SCCs that do not require neighbor cell measurement.

[0275] For example, referring to Table 2, if the communication scenario is that there is FR1+FR2 CA, and the PSCell is in FR2, different types of carriers include FR2 PSCC, FR2 SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, and inter-frequency MO that does not require MG in FR2, then the scaling factor does not take into account the FR2 SCC that does not require neighboring cell measurement and the inter-frequency MO that does not require MG in FR2.

[0276] For another example, if the communication scenario is that only CA exists in the FR2 band, different types of carriers include FR2 PSCC, FR2 SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, FR2 SCC not requiring neighboring cell measurement, and inter-frequency MO that does not require MG in FR2, then the scaling factor does not include FR2 SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, FR2 SCC not requiring neighboring cell measurement, and inter-frequency MO that does not require MG in FR2.

[0277] In some embodiments, how to reduce the sampling point is described by way of example.

[0278] In the EN-DC scenario, if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 carrier. Otherwise, if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC for which neighboring cell measurements are required, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 carrier.

[0279] For the SA scenario, if the FR2 carrier to be measured and the FR2 PCC are in the same frequency band, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 carrier; otherwise, if the FR2 carrier to be measured and the FR2 SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement are in the same frequency band, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 carrier;

[0280] For NR-DC scenarios, if the FR2 carrier to be measured is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 carrier.

[0281] For the NE-DC scenario, if the FR2 carrier to be measured and the FR2 PSCC are in the same frequency band, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 carrier; otherwise, if the FR2 carrier to be measured and the FR2 SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement are in the same frequency band, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 carrier.

[0282] It should be noted that if the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts a method of reducing the sampling point for measurement, the scaling factor is obtained using the method shown in Table 2.

[0283] Step S2106: The network device obtains the measurement result.

[0284] In some embodiments, based on the determined CSSF value, the NR neighbor cell measurement delay index is determined, including the primary synchronization signal PSS or secondary synchronization signal SSS detection period, the time index detection period and the measurement delay period.

[0356] Step S6101: The terminal has the same frequency band enhancement capability.

[0357] In some embodiments, a UE supporting this capability may perform measurements on a CC in the FR2 band and use the measurement results to enhance the measurements of other CCs configured in the band. This may be understood as ① using the measurement results of a CC as the measurement results of other CCs on the band, or ② reducing the number of sampling points for the measurements of other CCs on the band.

[0358] In some embodiments, the UE reports the capability information to the network;

[0359] In some embodiments, the network sends down the measurement configuration (existing behavior);

[0360] In some embodiments, the UE determines the CSSF based on the measurement configuration of the network. outside_gap,i and CSSF within_gap,i :

[0361] For CCs on NR FR2 band, only one CC in the band is measured. The measurement result of this CC represents the measurement result of all CCs configured on the band, i.e., the CSSFoutside_gap,i and CSSF within_gap,i Other FR2 CCs on the band except the measurement CC are not considered.

[0362] The specific modification plan is:

[0363] In the EN-DC scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, the CSSF does not consider the FR2 MO; otherwise, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement, the CSSF does not consider the FR2 MO;

[0364] In the SA scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PCC, the CSSF does not consider the FR2 MO; otherwise, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement, the CSSF does not consider the FR2 MO;

[0365] In the NR-DC scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, the CSSF does not consider the FR2 MO;

[0366] In the NE-DC scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, the CSSF does not consider the FR2 MO; otherwise, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement, the CSSF does not consider the FR2 MO;

[0367] 1. Based on the determined CSSF value, determine the NR neighbor cell measurement delay index, including the primary synchronization signal PSS or secondary synchronization signal SSS detection period, time index detection period and measurement delay period.

[0368] As Example 2 (corresponding to scenario ②):

[0369] In some embodiments, the UE reports the capability information to the network;

[0370] In some embodiments, the network sends down the measurement configuration (existing behavior);

[0371] In some embodiments, the UE determines, based on the measurement configuration of the network, that there are multiple CCs to be measured belonging to the FR2 frequency band.

[0372] In the EN-DC scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 MO; otherwise, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC for which neighboring cell measurements are required, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 MO;

[0373] For the SA scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PCC, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 MO; otherwise, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC where neighboring cell measurements are required, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 MO;

[0374] In the NR-DC scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 MO.

[0375] For the NE-DC scenario, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 PSCC, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 MO; otherwise, if the CC where the FR2 MO to be measured is located is in the same frequency band as the FR2 SCC that requires neighboring area measurement, a specific number of sampling points can be used to perform measurements on the FR2 MO.
