[0101] In some embodiments, a terminal (also known as user equipment (UE)) needs to perform mobility measurements on one or more measurement objects (MOs) configured by a network device and report the measurement results to the network device, which then determines the terminal's current communication status and performs mobility management on the terminal. Due to manufacturing costs and shape constraints, a terminal can only operate on the same frequency at any given time and can only measure MOs centered on that frequency.

[0102] In some embodiments, the network device can configure multiple MOs for the terminal. Due to capacity limitations, 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 terminal exceeds the UE's capacity, the UE must perform measurements of each MO in a time-sharing manner. For each MO measurement, time division inevitably leads to an increase in the required measurement time, which is reflected in the measurement indicator as a proportional extension of the measurement delay indicator, resulting in a longer measurement delay for the MO. The terminal's data scheduling will also be restricted, thus affecting the terminal's performance.

[0103] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for measuring mobility. Figure 3A is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for measuring mobility according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for measuring mobility shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal.

[0104] As shown in FIG3A , the mobility measurement method may include the following steps:

[0105] In step S301, multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement using the same searcher are determined.

[0106] In some embodiments, the terminal may support the use of multiple searchers for performing mobility measurements for MOs in parallel. For example, the terminal may support N searchers, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. For simplicity, the following embodiments are all illustrated by taking the example that the terminal can support N=2 searchers.

[0107] The searcher may be a measurement unit composed of software and hardware resources of the terminal for performing measurement gaps (MGs) that do not require MGs. Based on a searcher assumption, it may be assumed that the software and hardware resources of the terminal support performing multiple measurements that do not require MGs in parallel, which is equivalent to the terminal supporting the use of multiple searchers to perform multiple measurements that do not require MGs in parallel.

[0108] In some embodiments, when the network device configures more than one MO for the terminal, MOs can be allocated to each searcher based on the priority of each MO. For MOs with higher priority, a separate searcher can be used, while for MOs with lower priority, a shared searcher is required. For example, if the terminal supports two searchers S#1 and S#2, and the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal, including a MO corresponding to the primary cell carrier (PCC), S#1 can be used exclusively for mobility measurements on the PCC, while S#2 is used to measure other MOs, which may include MOs corresponding to the primary secondary cell carrier (PSCC) and / or MOs corresponding to the secondary cell carrier (SCC). For another example, if the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal, including a MO corresponding to the PCC but including a MO corresponding to the PSCC, S#1 is used exclusively for mobility measurements on the PSCC, while S#2 is used to measure other MOs.

[0109] In some embodiments, among the measurement objects configured by the network device for the terminal, multiple measurement objects using the same searcher are determined. For example, as shown in Figure 3B , if the network device configures MO#0, MO#1, MO#2, MO#3, MO#4, and MO#5 for the terminal, where MO#0 has the highest priority as the MO corresponding to the PCC, then of the two searchers S#1 and S#2 supported by the terminal, S#1 can be used exclusively for measuring MO#0, while S#2 can be used to measure other MOs. In this case, the multiple measurement objects sharing S#2 can be determined to be MO#1, MO#2, MO#3, MO#4, and MO#5.

[0110] In step S302, a bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP) covering the multiple measurement objects is determined; wherein each BWP covers at least one measurement object.

[0111] In some embodiments, after determining multiple measurement objects using the same searcher, the BWP covering the multiple measurement objects can be determined from the terminal's activated portion of bandwidth (Active BWP). For example, as shown in FIG3C , the terminal's activated BWPs include BWP#1 and BWP#2, where BWP#1 covers MO#0, MO#4, and MO#5, and BWP#2 covers MO#1, MO#2, and MO#3. It can be determined that the multiple measurement objects MO#1, MO#2, MO#3, MO#4, and MO#5 that share S#2 are covered by BWP#1 and BWP#2, respectively.

[0112] In step S303, based on the BWP, the searcher is used to perform the mobility measurement on the multiple measurement objects; wherein parallel measurement is performed on the measurement objects covered by the same BWP.

[0113] In some embodiments, when multiple measurement objects share the same searcher, the manner of measuring the multiple measurement objects using the searcher may be set according to capabilities supported by the terminal.

[0114] For example, in one embodiment, it can be determined first whether the terminal supports parallel measurement of measurement objects based on BWP, that is, whether the terminal supports simultaneous measurement of multiple measurement objects covered by the same BWP, and whether it supports simultaneous reception of reference signals corresponding to multiple measurement objects covered by the same BWP.

[0115] If it is determined that the terminal does not support parallel measurement of measurement objects based on BWP, the searcher can measure each measurement object in turn, or sort the measurement objects according to their priority, and then measure each measurement object in turn based on the sorting; for example, as shown in Figure 3B, multiple measurement objects MO#1, MO#2, MO#3, MO#4 and MO#5 that share S#2 are determined; among which MO#1 is the MO with higher priority among the multiple measurement objects sharing S#2, then S#2 can be used to measure each measurement object in turn based on the following sorting: MO#1→MO#2→MO#1→MO#3→MO#1→MO#4→MO#1→MO#5→MO#1→MO#2→MO#1→MO#3→... and so on.

[0116] If it is determined that the terminal supports parallel measurement of measurement objects based on BWPs, the searcher may rotate each BWP in sequence to perform parallel measurement on measurement objects covered by the same BWP, or sort each BWP based on priority and then rotate each BWP based on the sorting to perform parallel measurement on measurement objects covered by the same BWP. For example, as shown in FIG3C , multiple measurement objects MO#1, MO#2, MO#3, MO#4, and MO#5 that share S#2 are covered by BWP#1 and BWP#2, respectively. The terminal may use S#2 to measure the measurement objects covered by each BWP based on the following sorting: MO#4 and MO#5 covered by BWP#1 → MO#1, MO#2, MO#3 covered by BWP#2 → MO#4 and MO#5 covered by BWP#1 → MO#1, MO#2, MO#3 covered by BWP#2 → and so on.

[0117] It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 3A can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure. The specific selection can be made as needed and the present disclosure does not limit it.

[0118] Based on the above embodiment, when multiple measurement objects share the same searcher, by determining the BWP covering the multiple measurement objects and performing parallel measurements on the measurement objects covered by the same BWP, the multiple measurement objects can be measured simultaneously at the same time point, thereby greatly reducing the measurement delay of using the searcher to measure the multiple measurement objects in turn, and improving the measurement efficiency of the searcher.

[0119] In some embodiments, for each MO measurement, a searcher is used to perform mobility measurement on each measurement object. The terminal may first determine a measurement delay indicator for each MO, and then use the searcher to measure each measurement object based on the measurement delay indicator for each MO. The measurement duration indicator for each MO may be a carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF) corresponding to each MO multiplied by a baseline measurement delay indicator.

[0120] In some embodiments, after determining multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement using the same searcher and determining the BWP covering the multiple measurement objects, the CSSF of each measurement object can be determined based on the number of BWPs and the measurement objects covered by each BWP, wherein it is necessary to ensure that the CSSF of the measurement objects covered by the same BWP is the same; then, based on the CSSF of each measurement object, the measurement delay indicator of each measurement object is determined; then, based on the measurement delay indicator of each measurement object, the searcher is used to perform the mobility measurement on the multiple measurement objects; wherein parallel measurement is used for the measurement objects covered by the same BWP.

[0121] In some embodiments, multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement using the same searcher may include at least one of the following: a first secondary cell carrier unit, where the first secondary cell carrier unit is a secondary cell carrier unit located in frequency range 2 (Frequency Range 2, FR2) that requires neighboring cell measurement; a second secondary cell carrier unit, where the second secondary cell carrier unit is an SCC located in FR2 that does not require neighboring cell measurement; a third secondary cell carrier unit, where the third secondary cell carrier unit is a secondary cell carrier unit located in frequency range 1 (Frequency Range 1, FR1); an inter-frequency measurement object that does not require a measurement gap; and an inter-system (also known as an inter-Radio Access Technology (inter-RAT)) measurement object that does not require a measurement gap.

[0122] Among them, the priority corresponding to the first SCC is higher than that of other measurement objects, and the priority of the second SCC, the third SCC, the inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps, and the inter-system MO that does not require measurement gaps are the same.

[0123] In some embodiments, when determining the CSSF of each measurement object, the terminal also needs to consider the priority of each measurement object. The terminal may determine the CSSF of each measurement object based on the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects, the measurement objects covered by each BWP, and the priority of each measurement object.

[0124] The terminal determines the CSSF of each measurement object in the following scenarios.

[0125] For the sake of convenience, as shown in Figure 3D, the following assumptions are made:

[0126] The multiple measurement objects configured by the network device for the terminal may include at least one of the following: MO#10 corresponding to frequency f10, MO#11 corresponding to frequency f11, MO#12 corresponding to frequency f12, MO#20 corresponding to frequency f20, MO#21 corresponding to frequency f21, MO#22 corresponding to frequency f22, MO#30 corresponding to frequency f30, MO#31 corresponding to frequency f31, and MO#32 corresponding to frequency f32; wherein MO#10 is PCC or PSCC Corresponding MOs, MO#20 is the MO corresponding to SCC#1, where SCC#1 is the first SCC; MO#30 is the MO corresponding to SCC#2, where SCC#2 is the second or third SCC; MO#11, MO#12, MO#21, MO#22, MO#31, and MO#32 can all be inter-frequency MOs that do not require measurement gaps, or all be inter-system MOs that do not require measurement gaps, or some can be inter-frequency MOs that do not require measurement gaps, while the other can be inter-system MOs that do not require measurement gaps.

[0127] The activated BWPs of the terminal include at least one of the following: BWP#1, BWP#2, and BWP#3; wherein the center frequency of BWP#1 is f10, and BWP#1 covers MO#10, MO#11, and MO#12; the center frequency of BWP#2 is f20, and BWP#2 covers MO#20, MO#21, and MO#22; the center frequency of BWP#3 is f30, and BWP#3 covers MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32;

[0128] The searchers supported by the terminal include S#1 and S#2. S#1 is dedicated to measurement for MO#10, and S#2 is used for measurement for other MOs.

[0129] Scenario 1:

[0130] The priorities of multiple measurement objects using the same searcher for mobility measurement are the same, and the searcher can be shared based on the BWP average, that is, the CSSF of each measurement object is the same, which can be determined by the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects. For example, the CSSF of each measurement object is equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects.

[0131] In one embodiment, multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement using the same searcher include: at least one of a second SCC, a third SCC, an inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps, or an inter-system MO that does not require measurement gaps, and do not include the first SCC. The CSSFs of the multiple measurement objects are determined by the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects. For example, the CSSF of each measurement object may be equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects. In this case, if the multiple measurement objects include the second SCC, the CSSF of the second SCC is equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects; if the multiple measurement objects include the third SCC, the CSSF of the third SCC is equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects; if the multiple measurement objects include an inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps, the CSSF of the inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps is equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects; if the multiple measurement objects include an inter-system MO that does not require measurement gaps, the CSSF of the inter-system MO that does not require measurement gaps is equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects.

[0132] For example, as shown in Figure 3E , the network device configures multiple measurement objects for the terminal, including MO#10, MO#11, MO#12, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32. S#1 is specifically used for measuring MO#10, and S#2 is used for measuring MO#11, MO#12, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32. The BWPs covering MO#11, MO#12, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32 are BWP#1 and BWP#3. It can be determined that the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects is 2. Furthermore, it can be determined that the CSSFs for each of the measurement objects MO#11, MO#12, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32 are equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects, 2.

[0133] For example, as shown in Figure 3F, the network device configures multiple measurement objects for the terminal, including MO#10, MO#11, MO#12, M#21, MO#22, and MO#32. S#1 is specifically used for measuring MO#10, and S#2 is used for measuring MO#11, MO#12, M#21, MO#22, and MO#32. The BWPs covering MO#11, MO#12, M#21, MO#22, and MO#32 are BWP#1, BWP#2, and BWP#3, respectively. It can be determined that the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects is 3. Furthermore, it can be determined that the CSSFs for each of the measurement objects MO#11, MO#12, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32 are equal to the number of BWPs covering the multiple measurement objects, 3.

[0134] Scenario 2:

[0135] Multiple measurement objects using the same searcher for mobility measurement are all covered by the first BWP, and the CSSF of the measurement objects covered by the first BWP is determined by the number of the first BWPs, for example, the CSSF of the measurement objects covered by the first BWP is equal to the number of the first BWPs.

[0136] In one embodiment, if multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement using the same searcher include only a first SCC, the CSSFs of the multiple measurement objects are determined by the number of first BWPs covering the first SCC. For example, the CSSF of each measurement object is equal to the number of first BWPs covering the first SCC. Since, in actual applications, each terminal supports at most one first SCC, the CSSF of the first SCC is 1.

[0137] In one embodiment, multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement using the same searcher include a first SCC, and the multiple measurement objects may further include: a second SCC, a third SCC, an inter-frequency MO that does not require a measurement gap, or an inter-system MO that does not require a measurement gap, and the multiple measurement objects are all covered by a first BWP. The CSSF of the first SCC covered by the first BWP is the same as the CSSF of other measurement objects covered by the first BWP except for the first secondary cell component carrier, and is determined by the number of the first BWPs. For example, the CSSF of the first SCC covered by the first BWP and the CSSF of other measurement objects covered by the first BWP are both equal to the number of the first BWPs. Since in actual applications, each terminal supports at most one first SCC, the CSSF of the first SCC is 1; if the multiple measurement objects include a second SCC, the CSSF of the second SCC covered by the first BWP is 1; if the multiple measurement objects include a third SCC, the CSSF of the third SCC covered by the first BWP is 1; if the multiple measurement objects include inter-frequency MOs that do not require measurement gaps, the CSSF of the inter-frequency MOs that do not require measurement gaps and are covered by the first BWP is 1; if the multiple measurement objects include inter-system MOs that do not require measurement gaps, the CSSF of the inter-system MOs that do not require measurement gaps and are covered by the first BWP is 1.

[0138] For example, as shown in Figure 3G , the network device configures multiple measurement objects for the terminal, including MO#10, MO#20, M#21, and MO#22. S#1 is specifically used for measuring MO#10, and S#2 is used for measuring MO#20, M#21, and MO#22. The BWP covering MO#20, M#21, and MO#22 is determined to be BWP#2, which is the first BWP. The number of BWPs covering the first BWP can be determined to be 1, and further, the CSSFs for each of the measurement objects MO#20, M#21, and MO#22 can be determined to be equal to the number of the first BWPs, 1.

[0139] Scenario 3:

[0140] Multiple measurement objects used for mobility measurement using the same searcher have different priorities, and the BWPs covering these multiple measurement objects include a first BWP covering higher-priority measurement objects and a second BWP covering only lower-priority measurement objects; the CSSF of the measurement objects covered by the first BWP is greater than or equal to the CSSF of the measurement objects covered by the second BWP; if there are multiple second BWPs, the CSSFs of the measurement objects covered by the multiple second BWPs are the same and are determined by the number of BWPs. For example, the CSSF of the measurement object covered by the first BWP is 2, and the second CSSF of the measurement object covered by the second BWP is 2*(number of BWPs - 1).

[0141] In one embodiment, multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement using the same searcher include: a first SCC; the multiple measurement objects also include: a second SCC, a third SCC, an inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps, or an inter-system MO that does not require measurement gaps. The BWP covering the multiple measurement objects includes the first BWP and at least one second BWP, wherein the first BWP covers the first SCC, and the second BWP covers only at least one measurement object among the second SCC, the third SCC, an inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps, or an inter-system MO that does not require measurement gaps. In this case, the CSSFs of other measurement objects covered by the first BWP are the same as the CSSF of the first SCC, which is 2; the CSSF of the measurement objects covered by the second BWP is 2*(the number of BWPs-1); if the multiple measurement objects include a second SCC covered by the first BWP, the CSSF of the second SCC is 2; if the multiple measurement objects include a second SCC covered by the second BWP, the CSSF of the second SCC is 2*(the number of BWPs-1); if the multiple measurement objects include a third SCC covered by the first BWP, the CSSF of the third SCC is 2; if the multiple measurement objects include a third SCC covered by the second BWP, the CSSF of the third SCC is 2. The CSSF of the inter-frequency MO that does not require a measurement gap is 2*(the number of BWPs-1); if the multiple measurement objects include an inter-frequency MO that is covered by the first BWP and does not require a measurement gap, the CSSF of the inter-frequency MO that does not require a measurement gap is 2; if the multiple measurement objects include an inter-frequency MO that is covered by the second BWP and does not require a measurement gap, the CSSF of the inter-frequency MO that does not require a measurement gap is 2*(the number of BWPs-1); if the multiple measurement objects include an inter-system MO that is covered by the first BWP and does not require a measurement gap, the CSSF of the inter-system MO that does not require a measurement gap is 2; if the multiple measurement objects include an inter-system MO that is covered by the second BWP and does not require a measurement gap, the CSSF of the inter-system MO that does not require a measurement gap is 2*(the number of BWPs-1).

[0142] For example, as shown in Figure 3H , the network device configures multiple measurement objects for the terminal, including MO#10, MO#11, MO#12, MO#20, MO#21, and MO#22. S#1 is specifically used for measuring MO#10, and S#2 is used for measuring MO#11, MO#12, MO#20, MO#21, and MO#22. BWP#2, which covers MO#20, MO#21, and MO#22, is the first BWP, and BWP#1, which covers MO#11 and MO#12, is the second BWP. It can be determined that the number of BWPs covering multiple measurement objects is 2. Furthermore, it can be determined that the CSSFs of MO#20, MO#21, and MO#22 covered by BWP#2 are 2, and the CSSFs of MO#11 and MO#12 covered by BWP#1 are 2*(number of BWPs - 1) = 2.

[0143] For example, as shown in Figure 3D , the network device configures multiple measurement objects for the terminal, including MO#10, MO#11, MO#12, MO#20, MO#21, MO#22, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32. S#1 is specifically used for measuring MO#10, and S#2 is used for measuring MO#11, MO#12, MO#20, MO#21, MO#22, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32. BWP#2, which covers MO#20, MO#21, and MO#22, is the first BWP. BWP#1, which covers MO#11 and MO#12, and BWP#3, which covers MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32, are the second BWPs. It can be determined that the number of BWPs covering multiple measurement objects is 3, and it can be further determined that the CSSF of MO#20, MO#21, and MO#22 covered by BWP#2 is 2, and the CSSF of MO#11, MO#12, MO#30, MO#31, and MO#32 covered by BWP#1 and BWP#3 is 2*(number of BWPs-1)=4.

[0144] In some embodiments, it is possible to first determine whether the terminal supports the required first capability. When it is determined that the terminal supports the required first capability, multiple measurement objects for mobility measurement are performed using the same searcher from multiple searchers supported by the terminal; a BWP covering the multiple measurement objects is determined; and then, based on the BWP, the searcher is used to perform mobility measurement on the multiple measurement objects.

[0145] The first capability may include: the terminal's support for the capability of measuring measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps (gap-less measurement capabilities); and / or used to indicate that the terminal supports a first parallel measurement capability, where the first parallel measurement capability may be used to indicate whether the terminal supports parallel measurement of measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps based on a BWP.

[0146] In some embodiments, the configuration parameters used to determine whether the terminal supports measuring a measurement object that does not require a measurement gap may be various, for example, may include at least one of the following: interFrequencyMeas-NoGap-r16, nr-NeedForGap-Reporting-r16, interRAT-MeasNoGapNoInterr-r18, eutra-NeedForGapNCSG-Reporting-r17;

[0147] Among them, interFrequencyMeas-NoGap-r16 is used to indicate whether the terminal supports measuring inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps if the inter-frequency MO is covered by the terminal's active BWP. This parameter can indicate different contents for FR1 and FR2 respectively.

[0148] nr-NeedForGap-Reporting-r16 is used to indicate whether the terminal supports reporting the New Radio (NR) MO's requirement for measurement gaps in response to a network device configuration message (such as a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message);

[0149] interRAT-MeasNoGapNoInterr-r18 is used to indicate whether the terminal supports measuring the inter-system MO that does not require a measurement gap if the inter-system MO is covered by the terminal's active BWP;

[0150] eutra-NeedForGapNCSG-Reporting-r17 is used to indicate whether the terminal supports reporting the requirement information of the heterogeneous system MO for the network controlled small gap (NCSG) and measurement gap in response to the configuration message of the network device.

[0151] In some embodiments, the mobility measurement method of the present application may include the following steps:

[0152] A1. Determine whether the terminal supports the ability to measure measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps; for example, it can be determined based on the above parameters interFrequencyMeas-NoGap-r16, nr-NeedForGap-Reporting-r16, interRAT-MeasNoGapNoInterr-r18, eutra-NeedForGapNCSG-Reporting-r17;

[0153] A2. If the terminal supports the capability to measure measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps, the terminal analyzes the measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps configured by the network device, which may include intra-frequency MOs that do not require measurement gaps, inter-frequency MOs that do not require measurement gaps, and inter-system MOs that do not require measurement gaps; and determines the BWP that covers the reference signal (RS) corresponding to the measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps.

[0154] A3. Based on the BWP, parallel measurement is performed on measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps; wherein the parallel measurement is performed on measurement objects covered by the same BWP.

[0155] In some embodiments, in step A3, performing parallel measurement on measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps based on the BWP may include: determining, based on the BWP, the CSSF of the measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps; determining a measurement delay indicator of each measurement object based on the CSSF of each measurement object; and then, performing parallel measurement on the measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps based on the measurement delay indicator of each measurement object.

[0156] The calculation method of the CSSF for each measurement object may be shown in Table 1 below.

[0157] Table 1

[0158] Application scenarios: C1 means the terminal has only FR1 serving cells (FR1only CA); C2 means the terminal has only FR2 serving cells within the same frequency band (FR2 only intra-band CA); C3 means the terminal has only FR2 serving cells within different frequency bands (FR2 only inter-band CA); C4 means the terminal has both FR1 and FR2 serving cells, and the primary cell (Pcell) or primary secondary cell (PSCell) is in FR1; C5 means the terminal has both FR1 and FR2 serving cells, and the Pcell or PSCell is in FR2.

[0159] NSCC represents the number of secondary cells (SCells), including the number of SCells corresponding to the first SCC, the second SCC, and the third SCC; Y represents the number of inter-frequency MOs that do not require measurement gaps; and Z represents the number of inter-system MOs that do not require measurement gaps.

[0160] If the terminal supports the first capability as described above, that is, the terminal supports parallel measurement of measurement objects that do not require measurement gaps based on BWP, then NSCC+Y+Z=the number of BWPs covering the first SCC, the second SCC, the third SCC, the inter-frequency MO that does not require measurement gaps, and the inter-system MO that does not require measurement gaps.

[0161] It should be noted that the above application scenarios can exist in independent networking (StandAlone, SA) deployment, or dual connection (eNB NR Dual Connection, EN-DC) deployment of 4G wireless access network and 5G NR, or dual connection (NR eNB Dual Connection, NE-DC) deployment of 5G NR and 4G wireless access network, or dual connection (NG-Enb NR Dual Connection, NR-DC) deployment of 4G wireless access network and 5G NR under the 5G core network.

[0162] It should be noted that N / A in the table means not applicable (N / A).

[0163] As shown in Table 1, for application scenario C1, in one embodiment, the MO that does not require a measurement gap configured by the network device for the terminal may include: a PCC / PSCC, a third SCC, an inter-frequency MO, and an inter-system MO. When it is determined that the terminal supports the first capability, S#1 is used to measure the PCC / PSCC, and S#2 is used to measure the third SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO. The terminal may determine that the CSSF of the PCC / PSCC is 1; the CSSF of the third SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO is the number of BWPs covering the third SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO.

[0164] For application scenario C2, in one embodiment, the MO that does not require measurement gaps configured by the network device for the terminal may include: a PCC / PSCC, a second SCC, an inter-frequency MO, and an inter-system MO; if it is determined that the terminal supports the first capability, S#1 is used to measure the PCC / PSCC, and S#2 is used to measure the second SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO; the terminal may determine that the CSSF of the PCC / PSCC is 1; the CSSF of the second SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO is the number of BWPs covering the second SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO;

[0165] For application scenario C3, in one implementation, the MO that does not require measurement gaps configured by the network device for the terminal may include: a PCC / PSCC, a first SCC, a second SCC, an inter-frequency MO, and an inter-system MO. When it is determined that the terminal supports the first capability, S#1 is used exclusively for measurement of the PCC / PSCC, and S#2 is used for measurement of the first SCC, the second SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO. The terminal may determine that the CSSF of the PCC / PSCC is 1; the CSSF of the first SCC is 2; and the CSSF of the second SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO is 2*(the number of BWPs covering the first SCC, the second SCC, the inter-frequency MO, and the inter-system MO - 1).
