In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when a terminal device supports network controlled small gap (NCSG), a network device may configure multiple measurement intervals, where at least one measurement interval is NCSG in the network controlled small gap and is configured by an RRC message according to protocol specifications. In some embodiments, "interval" may also be referred to as "gap", "gap", etc. In some embodiments, the terminal device shown in FIG. 1A is in the Standalone (SA) operating mode. In some embodiments, if the terminal device needs to identify and measure co-frequency cells and / or inter-frequency cells and / or inter-RAT E-UTRAN cells by measuring intervals and / or NCSGs, and the terminal device supports [concurrentNCSGPerUE-OnlyMeasGapwithNCSG-r18], but does not support the independent measurement interval mode for different frequency ranges, then in order for the requirements in the following text to take effect, the network may provide up to two NCSG modes for each terminal device, or provide one measurement interval and one NCSG mode for each terminal device to monitor all frequency layers. Wherein, concurrentNCSGPerUE means that each terminal device is allowed to configure concurrent NCSGs at the same time, OnlyMeasGapwithNCSG-r18 means that NCSG can only be configured during MG, and this feature is r18 (Release 18). In some embodiments, if the terminal device needs to identify and measure co-frequency cells and / or inter-frequency cells and / or inter-RAT E-UTRAN cells by changing the measurement interval and / or NCSG, and the UE supports [concurrentNCSGPerUE-PerFRCombMeasGapwithNCSG-r18] and the independent measurement interval mode for different frequency ranges, then in order for the requirements for concurrent measurement intervals with NCSG defined to take effect, the network device may provide a specified combination of measurement intervals and NCSG modes for monitoring all frequency layers. Wherein, PerFRCombMeasGapwithNCSG-r18 means that this configuration is about the combination of measurement intervals (MeasGap) and NCSG for each frequency combination (PerFRComb). In some embodiments, when NCSG and other traditional measurement intervals are configured in the concurrent measurement interval at the same time, there are at least the following situations: The start / end points of the two measurement intervals are staggered; The traditional measurement interval (Type2-MG) can be completely included in the NCSG; The NCSG can be completely included in the traditional measurement interval (Type2-MG). FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram of a measurement interval shown according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1B, in a), the starting point of the conventional measurement interval (MG) is staggered with the NCSG, and the ending point of the NCSG is staggered with the conventional measurement interval (MG); in b), the conventional measurement interval (MG) is completely contained within the NCSG; in c), the NCSG is completely contained within the conventional measurement interval (MG). Among them, NCSG@f1 represents the NCSG with measurement configuration at frequency f1, MG R16@f2 represents the MG with measurement configuration at frequency f2, gNB TX@PCell f0 represents the transmission operation performed by the network device in the serving cell with frequency f0, UE RX data@PCell,f0 represents the terminal device receiving data through the serving cell with frequency f0, UE RX@neighbor cell,f1 represents the receiving operation performed by the terminal device through the neighboring cell with frequency f1, and UE RX@neighbor cell,f2 represents the receiving operation performed by the terminal device through the neighboring cell with frequency f2. For a), the terminal device can start measuring on the carrier (f1) from t1. Since the terminal device supports the NCSG of the "f0 + f1" frequency band combination, the terminal device can also receive data on the PCell (f0) during the period from t1 to t3. Therefore, when the terminal device needs to start measuring on another carrier (f2) from t2, the terminal device needs to abandon the measurement based on [t1, t2] according to one of the Rel17 rules. However, if the terminal device also supports multi-RF chain operation on f1 and f2 simultaneously (for example, the terminal device supports the NCSG function), the terminal device can retune the available RF chain used for data reception during [t1, t2] to f2 to perform measurements on f1 and f2. For b) and c), similar to the case of a), in the case of concurrent MGs with one configured NCSG, parallel measurements can be performed on multiple overlapping concurrent measurement intervals. In some embodiments, when performing multiple parallel measurements in the concurrent measurement interval, resource scheduling may affect the measurement of the serving cell, thereby affecting network performance. Therefore, how to control resource scheduling when performing multiple parallel measurements in the concurrent measurement interval has become an urgent problem to be solved. FIG. 2 is an interaction schematic diagram of a measurement method shown according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method can be executed by the above communication system. As shown in FIG. 2, this method may include: Step S2101, the network device sends the first information to the terminal device. In some embodiments, the terminal device can receive the first information. For example, the terminal device can receive the first information sent by the network device. For another example, the terminal device can also receive the first information sent by other entities. In some embodiments, the first information can be used to configure, for the terminal device, a first measurement interval and a second measurement interval corresponding to a reference signal. In some embodiments, the type of the first measurement interval is different from the type of the second measurement interval. In some embodiments, the first measurement interval may be a network-controlled small interval (NCSG), and the second measurement interval may be a conventional measurement interval. In some embodiments, the conventional measurement interval may be a measurement interval defined in 3GPP Release 16 and Release 17. In some embodiments, there is an overlapping time period between the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval. In some embodiments, the existence of an overlapping time period between the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval includes at least one of the following: A partial time period of the first measurement interval overlaps with a partial time period of the second measurement interval; The first measurement interval contains the second measurement interval, and the duration of the first measurement interval is greater than the duration of the second measurement interval; The second measurement interval contains the first measurement interval, and the duration of the second measurement interval is greater than the duration of the first measurement interval. As shown in FIG. 1B, NCSG@f1 represents the first measurement interval, and MG R16@f2 represents the second measurement interval. Among them, a) indicates that a partial time period of the first measurement interval overlaps with a partial time period of the second measurement interval, and the overlapping time period is from t2 to t3; b) indicates that the first measurement interval contains the second measurement interval, and the duration of the first measurement interval is greater than the duration of the second measurement interval, and the overlapping time period is the second measurement interval; c) indicates that the second measurement interval contains the first measurement interval, and the duration of the second measurement interval is greater than the duration of the first measurement interval, and the overlapping time period is the first measurement interval. In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited. For example, it may be "measurement interval information", "measurement interval indication information", "measurement indication information", etc. In some embodiments, the frequency corresponding to the first measurement interval is different from the frequency corresponding to the second measurement interval. Taking FIG. 1B as an example, the frequency corresponding to the first measurement interval is f1, and the frequency corresponding to the second measurement interval is f2. In some embodiments, the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval are used for neighbor cell measurement. As shown in FIG. 1B, the first measurement interval can be used to measure neighbor cells with a frequency of f1, and the second measurement interval can be used to measure neighbor cells with a frequency of f2. In some embodiments, the frequency of the serving cell where the terminal device is located is different from the frequency of the neighboring cell. As shown in FIG. 1B, the frequency of the serving cell is f0, and the frequencies of the neighboring cells are f1 or f2. In some embodiments, the terminal device may be in an independent SA operation mode. Step S2102: The terminal device measures the reference signal according to the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval. In some embodiments, the reference signal may also be referred to as a "reference measurement signal", and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. In some embodiments, the reference signal may include at least one of the following: Synchronization Signal Block (SSB); Channel Status Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS); and Positioning Reference Signal (PRS). In some embodiments, the reference signal may include a first reference signal and a second reference signal. The first reference signal is the reference signal corresponding to the first measurement interval, and the second reference signal is the reference signal corresponding to the second measurement interval. In some embodiments, the terminal device may measure the first reference signal in a first time period, where the first time period includes the time period in the first measurement interval except for the overlapping time period; measure the second reference signal in a second time period, where the second time period includes the time period in the second measurement interval except for the overlapping time period; and measure the first reference signal and the second reference signal in parallel during the overlapping time period. It should be noted that the order in which the terminal device measures the first reference signal and the second reference signal may be determined according to the order of the first time period, the second time period, and the overlapping time period. For example, the terminal device may measure the first reference signal first, or measure the second reference signal first, or measure the first reference signal and the second reference signal in parallel first. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. Similarly, it should be noted that if the first time period or the second time period is 0, it means that the corresponding measurement is not performed separately. For example, if the first time period is 0, the first reference signal is not measured separately, and if the second time period is 0, the second reference signal is not measured separately. Taking a) in FIG. 1B as an example, the first time period is t1 to t2, the second time period is t3 to t4, and the overlapping time period is t2 to t3. The terminal device measures the first reference signal from t1 to t2, measures the first reference signal and the second reference signal in parallel from t2 to t3, and measures the second reference signal from t3 to t4. Taking b) in FIG. 1B as an example, the first time period is t1 to t2, t3 to t4, the overlapping time period is t2 to t3. The terminal device measures the first reference signal from t1 to t2, measures the first reference signal and the second reference signal in parallel from t2 to t3, and measures the first reference signal from t3 to t4. Herein, the second time period is 0, indicating that the terminal device does not separately measure the second reference signal. Taking c) in FIG. 1B as an example, the overlapping time period is t2 to t3, the second time period is t1 to t2, t3 to t4. The terminal device measures the second reference signal from t1 to t2, measures the first reference signal and the second reference signal in parallel from t2 to t3, and measures the second reference signal from t3 to t4. Herein, the first time period is 0, indicating that the terminal device does not separately measure the first reference signal. In some embodiments, the terminal device may measure the reference signal with reference to the provisions of the existing protocol, which will not be elaborated herein. Step S2103: The network device stops scheduling the reference signal in the specified interval time period. In some embodiments, the specified interval time period includes the time period for performing radio frequency operations in the overlapping time period. In some embodiments, the radio frequency operation may include radio frequency retuning. In some embodiments, the radio frequency retuning may also be referred to as "radio frequency harmonization". In some embodiments, the radio frequency operation may further include other operations other than radio frequency retuning, such as operations other than radio frequency retuning specified by the protocol. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. Taking a) in FIG. 1B as an example, the specified time period is the time period corresponding to VIL2. Taking b) in FIG. 1B as an example, the specified time period is the time period starting from t3 until the terminal device retunes to other carriers. Taking c) in FIG. 1B as an example, the specified time period is the time period corresponding to VIL1 and the time period corresponding to VIL2. In some embodiments, "scheduling" may be interpreted as "indicating the measurement time and measurement method of the reference signal". In some embodiments, a partial time period of the first measurement interval overlaps with a partial time period of the second measurement interval, and scheduling of the second reference signal is stopped during the specified interval period, where the specified interval period is the time period in the second measurement interval that overlaps with the first Visible Interruption Length (VIL), and the first VIL is the time period during which radio frequency operations are performed in the first measurement interval. As shown in a) of FIG. 1B, the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval overlap from t2 to t3. The time periods during which radio frequency operations are performed in the first measurement interval are VIL1 and VIL2, that is, the first VIL includes VIL1 and VIL2. The time period in the second measurement interval that overlaps with the first VIL is VIL2, and the specified time period is VIL2. The terminal device can re-tune to other carriers at VIL2. Correspondingly, the network device can stop scheduling the second reference signal during the time period corresponding to VIL2. In this way, interference to the measurement of the second reference signal on the f2 carrier can be avoided. In some embodiments, the first measurement interval contains the second measurement interval, and the duration of the first measurement interval is greater than the duration of the second measurement interval. Scheduling of the first reference signal is stopped during the specified interval period, where the specified interval period is the time period in the first measurement interval that overlaps with a third time period, and the third time period is the time period during which radio frequency operations are performed in the second measurement interval. As shown in b) of FIG. 1B, the first measurement interval contains the second measurement interval. After the terminal device completes the measurement of the second reference signal at time t3, it can re-tune to other carriers. Correspondingly, the network device can stop scheduling the first reference signal during the time period when the terminal device is re-tuning. In this way, interference to the measurement of the first reference signal on the f1 carrier can be avoided. In some embodiments, the second measurement interval contains the first measurement interval, and the duration of the second measurement interval is greater than the duration of the first measurement interval. Scheduling of the second reference signal is stopped during the specified interval period, and the specified interval period includes the first VIL, where the first VIL is the time period during which radio frequency operations are performed in the first measurement interval. As shown in Figure 1B c), the second measurement interval includes the first measurement interval. The time periods for performing radio frequency operations in the first measurement interval are VIL1 and VIL2, that is, the first VIL includes VIL1 and VIL2. The time periods in the second measurement interval that overlap with the first VIL are VIL1 and VIL2, and this specified time period is VIL1 and VIL2. The terminal device can retune to f1 at VIL1 and retune to other carriers at VIL2. Correspondingly, the network device can stop scheduling the second reference signal during the time periods corresponding to VIL1 and VIL2. In this way, interference to the measurement of the second reference signal on the f2 carrier can be avoided. Step S2104: The terminal device stops measuring the reference signal during the specified interval time period. In some embodiments, a partial time period of the first measurement interval overlaps with a partial time period of the second measurement interval. Measuring the second reference signal is stopped during the specified interval time period, and the specified interval time period is the time period in the second measurement interval that overlaps with the first visible interruption length VIL. The first VIL is the time period for performing radio frequency operations in the first measurement interval. As shown in Figure 1B a), the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval overlap from t2 to t3. The time periods for performing radio frequency operations in the first measurement interval are VIL1 and VIL2, that is, the first VIL includes VIL1 and VIL2. The time period in the second measurement interval that overlaps with the first VIL is VIL2, and this specified time period is VIL2. The terminal device can retune to other carriers at VIL2. Correspondingly, the terminal device can stop measuring the second reference signal during the time period corresponding to VIL2. In this way, measuring the second reference signal on the f2 carrier is stopped in the presence of interference, improving the measurement accuracy. In some embodiments, the first measurement interval includes the second measurement interval, and the duration of the first measurement interval is greater than the duration of the second measurement interval. Measuring the first reference signal is stopped during the specified interval time period, and the specified interval time period is the time period in the first measurement interval that overlaps with the third time period. The third time period is the time period for performing radio frequency operations in the second measurement interval. As shown in Figure 1B b), the first measurement interval includes the second measurement interval. After the terminal device completes measuring the second reference signal at time t3, it can retune to other carriers. Correspondingly, the terminal device can stop measuring the first reference signal during the retuning time period. In this way, measuring the first reference signal on the f1 carrier is stopped in the presence of interference, improving the measurement accuracy. In some embodiments, the second measurement interval includes the first measurement interval, and the duration of the second measurement interval is greater than that of the first measurement interval. Measuring the second reference signal stops during the specified interval period, which includes a first VIL, and the first VIL is the time period for performing radio frequency operations in the first measurement interval. As shown in c) of FIG. 1B, the second measurement interval includes the first measurement interval. The time periods for performing radio frequency operations in the first measurement interval are VIL1 and VIL2, that is, the first VIL includes VIL1 and VIL2. The time periods in the second measurement interval that overlap with the first VIL are VIL1 and VIL2, and the specified time period is VIL1 and VIL2. The terminal device can retune to f1 at VIL1 and retune to other carriers at VIL2. Correspondingly, the terminal device can stop measuring the second reference signal during the time periods corresponding to VIL1 and VIL2. In this way, measuring the second reference signal on the f2 carrier stops in the presence of interference, improving the measurement accuracy. In some embodiments, in NR stand-alone operation (using single carrier, NR CA), for each VIL, the number of interrupted time slots of the per-UE NCSG configured on all serving cells or the FR1 NCSG configured on FR1 serving cells is shown in Table 1. Table 1 In some embodiments, in NR stand-alone operation (using single carrier, NR CA), during each VIL, for the FR2 NCSG the number of interrupted time slots on FR2 serving cells is shown in Table 2. Table 2 In some embodiments, when the second measurement interval includes the first measurement interval and the duration of the second measurement interval is greater than that of the first measurement interval, the first measurement interval is not allowed to introduce an interruption. In this way, the measurement efficiency of the terminal device can be improved. By adopting the above method, the network device can control the scheduling of the reference signal during the overlapping time period of performing radio frequency operations, avoiding the impact on the serving cell measurement when NCSG and the traditional measurement interval perform parallel measurements, thereby improving the network performance. Further, the terminal device can also stop the corresponding measurement during the overlapping time period of performing radio frequency operations, improving the measurement accuracy.

FIG. 5 is an interaction schematic diagram of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement method, and this method can be executed by a communication system. The method can include: Step S5101: The network device sends the first information to the terminal device. For the optional implementation manners of this step S5101, reference may be made to the optional implementation manners of step S2101 in FIG. 2, step S3101 in FIG. 3, step S4101 in FIG. 4A, and other related parts in the embodiments related to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4A, which will not be elaborated herein. Step S5102: The terminal device measures the reference signal according to the first measurement interval and the second measurement interval. For the optional implementation manners of this step S5102, reference may be made to the optional implementation manners of step S2102 in FIG. 2, step S4102 in FIG. 4A, and other related parts in the embodiments related to FIGS. 2 and 4A, which will not be elaborated herein. Step S5103: The network device stops scheduling the reference signal during the specified interval period. For the optional implementation manners of this step S5103, reference may be made to the optional implementation manners of step S2103 in FIG. 2, step S3102 in FIG. 3, and other related parts in the embodiments related to FIGS. 2 and 3, which will not be elaborated herein. In some embodiments, the above method may include the methods described in the embodiments of the above communication system, terminal device, network device, etc., which will not be elaborated herein. In some embodiments, for a) in FIG. 1B, when the UE retunes to other carriers during VIL2 of NCSG, there will be interference on the measurement object SSB (MOs@f2) on the f2 carrier. Therefore, scheduling resource restrictions should be imposed on the measurement reference signals (such as SSB / CSI-RS / PRS) of MOs@f2. In some embodiments, for b) in FIG. 1B, when the UE retunes to other carriers during the traditional MG, there is also interference on the SSB (MOs@f1) of the measurement object on the f1 carrier. Therefore, resource restrictions should be imposed on the measurement reference signals (such as SSB / CSI-RS / PRS) of MOs@f1. In some embodiments, when any of the following conditions is met, there are restrictions on scheduling availability; otherwise, there are no scheduling restrictions. Here, it can be interpreted that the scheduling restriction conditions specified in the existing protocol for NCSG are not applicable in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that if the union of SSB-ToMeasure of all configured measurement objects on the same serving carrier is configured, the SSB symbols therein can be merged; otherwise, all L SSB symbols within the synchronization signal measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window duration defined in clause 4.1 of TS 38.213 will be included. The requirements in clause 9.3.10.3.3 based on deriveSSB-IndexFromCell-inter apply to UE supporting ncsg-SymbolLevelScheduleRestrictionInter-r17. If the UE does not support ncsg-SymbolLevelScheduleRestrictionInter-r17, the requirements in clause 9.3.10.3.3 apply assuming deriveSSB-IndexFromCell-inter is not enabled. In some embodiments, for UEs that support parallel measurements using both NCSG and legacy Rel16 / R17 measurement intervals within a concurrent interval ([[paralleNCSGAndMG]]

[0014] ), the following restrictions apply to the Sync Signal-Reference Signal Received Power / Quality / Interference Noise Ratio (SS-RSRP / RSRQ / SINR) measurements when the target inter-frequency layer is measured by one of them: (1) When the VIL of NCSG overlaps with the Measurement Gap Length (MGL) of the legacy measurement interval, it is not desirable for the UE to measure SSB / CSI-RS / PRS on cells / carriers measured by the legacy measurement interval within the concurrent interval; (2) During the retuning period of the legacy measurement interval, when this period completely overlaps with the duration of NCSG, it is not desirable for the UE to measure SSB / CSI-RS / PRS on cells / carriers for which NCSG is responsible for measurement during this time. In some embodiments, for c), when the UE's RF1 is retuned to another carrier (e.g., f1) during the legacy measurement interval, no data of the current serving gNB is scheduled. Thus, there is no interruption to the serving gNB. However, some scheduling restrictions for SSB / CSI-RS / PRS of MOs@f2 should be defined. In some embodiments, when configuring per-FR FR1 NCSG for a UE that supports ncsg-MeasGapPerFR-r17, Table 1 lists the number of interrupted time slots of NCSG on all serving cells. If a UE that supports ncsg-MeasGapPerFR-r17 is configured with per-FR FR2 NCSG, Table 2 lists the number of interrupted time slots on FR2 serving cells. In NR standalone (using single carrier or NR CA) operation, each NCSG has two interruptions, namely VIL1 before the Measurement Length (ML) and VIL2 after ML. The number of interrupted time slots for each interruption is shown in detail in Table 1 and Table 2. It should be noted that the interruption requirements defined in Table 1 and Table 2 are not applicable when the NCSG overlaps within the traditional measurement interval and the concurrent interval. Table 1: In NR standalone operation (using single carrier, NR CA), for each VIL, the number of interrupted time slots of per-UE NCSG configured on all serving cells or FR1 NCSG configured on FR1 serving cells. Table 2: In NR standalone operation (using single carrier, NR CA), during each VIL, the number of interrupted time slots on FR2 serving cells for FR2 NCSG. The above measurement method will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Embodiment 1, a method for a UE to perform parallel measurements of NCSG and MG within a concurrent interval. Embodiment 2, based on Embodiment 1, for the measurement reference signal of one of the target inter-frequency layers to be measured, scheduling restrictions should be applied. Embodiment 3, based on Embodiment 2, the UE should not measure the union of SSB / CSI-RS / PRS of cells / carriers measured by the traditional measurement interval within the concurrent interval. Embodiment 4, based on Embodiment 3, within the concurrent gap, the VIL of NCSG completely overlaps with the MGL of the traditional measurement interval. Embodiment 5, based on Embodiment 2, measure the union of SSB / CSI-RS / PRS of cells / carriers measured by NCSG within the concurrent gap. Embodiment 6, based on Embodiment 5, the tuning time of the traditional measurement interval completely overlaps with other NCSGs. Embodiment 7, based on Embodiment 1, no terminals caused by NCSG are applied. Embodiment 8, based on Embodiment 7, the duration of NCSG within the concurrent interval is completely contained within the MGL of the traditional measurement interval.
