Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0192] In the deployment scenario of EN-DC (E-UTRANR dual connectivity), the core network is the evolved packet core network (EPC), the LTE base station (such as ng-eNB) serves as the main base station, and the NR base station (such as gNB) serves as the secondary base station for dual connectivity (DC), and both the main base station and the secondary base station are connected to the EPC. Specifically, there is an X2 interface between the LTE base station and the NR base station, with at least a control plane connection and possibly a user plane connection; there is an S1 interface between the LTE base station and the EPC, with at least a control plane connection and possibly a user plane connection; there is an S1-U interface between the NR base station and the EPC, that is, there can only be a user plane connection. The LTE base station can provide air interface resources for the UE through at least one LTE cell. In this case, the at least one LTE cell is called a master cell group (MCG). Correspondingly, the NR base station can also provide air interface resources for the UE through at least one NR cell. In this case, the at least one NR cell is called a secondary cell group (SCG).

[0193] In the deployment scenario of NR-DC (or NR-NRDC), both the primary base station and the secondary base station are NR base stations (such as gNB), and both are connected to 5GC. Specifically, there is a control plane connection between the NR base station serving as the primary base station and the 5GC, and there can also be a data plane connection. There can be a data plane connection between the NR base station serving as the secondary base station and the 5GC. Both the primary base station and the secondary base station can provide air interface transmission resources for data transmission between the terminal device and the 5GC.

[0194] Special cell (SpCell): includes at least one of a primary serving cell (PCell) and a primary secondary serving cell (PSCell).

[0195] NR inter-system measurement: In the EN-DC scenario, the PCell configuration of the LTE base station is measured on the NR frequency to be measured. This is called NR inter-system measurement.

[0196] It should be understood that for the NR-DC scenario, both the primary base station and the secondary base station are NR base stations, so there is no cross-system measurement.

[0197] Special component carrier (SpCC): includes primary component carrier (PCC) and primary secondary component carrier (PSCC).

[0198] Carrier aggregation (CA): Multiple carriers distributed across multiple frequency bands are aggregated to form a larger bandwidth to improve the peak throughput of the UE. The aggregated carriers consist of a PCC and one or more secondary component carriers (SCCs). The PCC corresponds to the PCell, the PSCC corresponds to the PSCell, and the SCC corresponds to the SCell.

[0199] NR service frequency inter-system measurement: In the EN-DC scenario, the measurement of the PCell configuration under the LTE base station on the NR service frequency is called NR service frequency inter-system measurement, also known as service frequency inter-system measurement.

[0200] In a communication system, mobility management is one of the most important functions. The basis and foundation of mobility management is mobility measurement. Specifically, the network device sends the measurement configuration to the UE through dedicated signaling, instructing the UE to perform mobility measurements on certain frequencies. The terminal needs to perform mobility measurements on one or more measurement objects (MO) configured by the network (MO corresponds to measuring the signals of neighboring cells and other carriers), and report the measurement results to the network for the network device to determine the current communication status of the terminal and then perform mobility management on the UE. Affected by manufacturing costs and product shape, the terminal can only operate at the same frequency at the same time, and the terminal can only measure the MO centered on its operating frequency at the same time.

[0201] 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 the 5G NR frequency), 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 (MG).

[0202] Generally speaking, the network will configure multiple MOs for the terminal. Due to the limitations of software and hardware capabilities, the number of measurements that the UE can perform in parallel is limited. Once the number of MOs configured by the network equipment for the UE exceeds the UE's capabilities, the UE must perform measurements of each MO in a time-sharing manner.

[0203] For each MO measurement, time division inevitably increases the time required to collect the required measurement samples. This is reflected in the proportional extension of the measurement delay. This is where the concept of a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) is introduced. This factor multiplies the original single-carrier (MO) delay by a scaling factor.

[0204] For multiple MOs that need to be measured based on MG, there may be multiple MOs competing for MG opportunities. 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 ;

[0205] For multiple configured MOs that do not need to be measured based on MG, measurements are performed based on the Synchronization Signal Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC). There may be multiple MOs competing for the SMTC occasion. 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 .

[0206] For measurements that do not require MG, the NR introduces a searcher assumption, which assumes that the UE's hardware and software resources support the execution of up to two NR measurements that do not require MG in parallel, searcher#1 and searcher#2. Of these two search units, searcher#1 is dedicated to neighbor cell measurements that do not require MG on the NR PCC (if configured) or NR PSCC (if NR PCC is not configured); searcher#2 is shared among other measurement types that do not require MG (PSCC (if PCC is configured) + SCC +...), that is, other measurements that do not require MG use searcher#2 to perform measurements in sequence.

[0207] In the case of both PSCC and SCC, the measurement priority of PSCC is higher than that of SCC. The general search unit allocation principle is shown in Table 1 below:

[0208] Table 1

[0209] CSSF of various types of measurement objects in the EN-DC scenario specified by the protocol outside_gap，i As shown in Table 2 below:

[0210] Table 2

[0211] CSSF of various types of measurement objects in NR-DC scenarios specified by the protocol outside_gap，i As shown in Table 3 below:

[0212] Table 3

[0213] CSSF of various types of measurement objects in NR SA scenarios specified by the protocol outside_gap，i As shown in Table 4 below:

[0214] Table 4

[0215] CSSF of various types of measurement objects in NE-DC scenarios specified by the protocol outside_gap，i As shown in Table 5 below:

[0216] Table 5

[0217] In the above table, FR1 corresponds to a frequency band range of 450MHz-6000MHz, also known as the sub-6GHz band) and FR2 corresponds to a frequency band range of 24250MHz-52600MHz, also known as the above-6GHz or millimeter wave band).

[0218] Latency requirement = measurement latency of a single measurement object * CSSF = (number of sample points * time required to obtain a specific MO measurement sample result) * CSSF. It should be understood that in this disclosure, * represents a multiplication operation, for example, A*B represents the multiplication operation of A and B.

[0219] The existing protocol defines three types of delay requirements for connected neighbor cell measurements, including: PSS / SSS detection delay requirement, SSB index acquisition delay requirement, and measurement delay requirement.

[0220] For measurement of deactivated SCell / PSCell: UE supports measurement of deactivated SCell, and the SCell measurement period (measCycleSCell parameter) is dedicated to the measurement of deactivated SCell, where the value of the SCell measurement period may include: sf160, sf256, sf320, sf512, sf640, sf1024, sf1280, etc., where sf indicates that the unit of time unit is subframe, for example: sf160, i.e. 160 subframes = 160ms.

[0221] The UE supports measurement of deactivated PSCell. The PSCell measurement period (measCyclePSCell parameter) is dedicated to the measurement of deactivated PScell. The values ​​of the PSCell measurement period may include: sf160, sf256, sf320, sf512, sf640, sf1024, sf1280, etc.

[0222] The difference between the measurement of a deactivated SCell / PSCell and that of an activated cell is that the measurement period of the deactivated SCell / PSCell is longer.

[0223] Beam Failure Detection (BFD) and Candidate Beam Detection (CBD) are measurements of the serving cell and can be performed on the PCell, PSCell, activated SCell, and deactivated PSCell, and also follow the above search unit assumptions.

[0224] When a deactivated PSCell or SCell shares a searcher with an activated SCell, measurement opportunities may be wasted due to a longer measurement period for the deactivated PSCell or SCell. For example:

[0225] In the NR-DC scenario, there are PCells, one activated SCell, one deactivated SCell, and one deactivated PSCell.

[0226] Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle is not configured, SMTC period (periodicity) = 20ms, measCyclePSCell = 160ms, measCycleSCell = 320ms;

[0227] According to the existing CSSF outside_gap，i Calculation method,

[0228] CSSFoutside_gap, PCell=1

[0229] CSSFoutside_gap,PSCell=2

[0230] CSSFoutside_gap, SCell = 2*(number of Scells - 1) = 2

[0231] The relationship between the above measurement opportunities can be referred to FIG1b . As shown in FIG1b , no measurement is performed on the SMTC measurement opportunities in the shaded area, resulting in a prolonged activated SCell measurement delay.

[0232] Similarly, such a problem also exists in the measurement of BFD (Beam Failure Detection) and CBD (Candidate Beam Detection).

[0233] To this end, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an enhancement scheme for the scaling factor, which increases the measurement opportunities of activated cells (which can be called measurement opportunities) by adjusting the scaling factor, thereby improving measurement efficiency and improving UE mobility performance, BFD and CBD detection performance.
