Description

Measurement time configuration method, device, chip and storage medium

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on January 12, 2024, with application number 202410058587.5 and application name “Measurement time configuration method, device, chip and storage medium”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement time configuration method, device, chip, and storage medium. Background Art

[0003] With the development of communication technology, existing wireless communication systems provide measurement gaps (MGs) for measurement. MGs are an important network optimization feature in wireless communication systems. User equipment (UE) can perform signal quality measurements during MGs to support network performance monitoring, cell reselection, and handover operations. However, when transmitting Extended Reality (XR) service data in wireless communication systems during a MG, the transmission will conflict with the measurement, resulting in the transmission being delayed until after the MG ends. This significantly impacts the transmission of service data.

[0004] Therefore, how to configure measurement gaps to reduce the impact on service data transmission is an issue that needs to be addressed urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0098] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, a communication system applicable to the embodiments of the present application is first described in detail.

[0099] Figure 1 shows a communication system used in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , the communication system includes: network equipment and terminal equipment.

[0100] The network device and the terminal device can communicate via a wireless link. When the network device acts as a transmitting end, the terminal device can act as a receiving end; when the network device acts as a receiving end, the terminal device can act as a transmitting end. The embodiments of this application do not limit the number of network devices and terminal devices included in the communication system. Furthermore, it should be understood that Figure 1 is merely a schematic diagram, and the communication system may also include other network devices, which are not limited in this application and are not shown in Figure 1.

[0102] The terminal device may be a device that provides voice / data connectivity to users, such as a handheld device or vehicle-mounted device with wireless connection function. At present, some examples of terminal devices include: mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, mobile internet devices (MIDs), wearable devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, cellular phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices with wireless communication capabilities, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, terminal devices in 5G networks or future evolved public land mobile communication networks (PLMNs). The present application does not limit the terminal equipment in the network (PLMN), etc.

[0103] By way of example and not limitation, in this application, a terminal device may be a terminal device in an Internet of Things (IoT) system. The IoT is an important component of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is connecting objects to the Internet through communication technologies, thereby realizing an intelligent network that interconnects humans and machines, and things and things. For example, the terminal device in the embodiments of this application may be a wearable device. Wearable devices, also known as wearable smart devices, are a general term for wearable devices that apply wearable technology to intelligently design and develop wearable devices, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. Wearable devices are portable devices that can be worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not just hardware devices; they can also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are fully functional, large in size, and can achieve full or partial functions independently of smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that focus on a specific application function and require cooperation with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0104] As an example and not a limitation, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may also be a terminal device in a machine type communication (MTC). In addition, the terminal device may also be an on-board module, on-board module, on-board component, on-board chip or on-board unit built into the vehicle as one or more components or units, and the vehicle may implement the method provided in the present application through the built-in on-board module, on-board module, on-board component, on-board chip or on-board unit. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to the Internet of Vehicles, such as vehicle to everything (V2X), long term evolution-vehicle (LTE-V), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology, etc.

[0105] The network device involved in this application can be a device that communicates with a terminal device. The network device can also be called an access network device or a wireless access network device. It can be a transmission reception point (TRP), an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, a home base station (for example, home evolved NodeB, or home Node B, HNB), a base band unit (BBU), or a wireless controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario, or the network device can be a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a network device in a 5G network, or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network, etc. It can also be an access point (AP) in a WLAN, or a gNB in ​​an NR system. The above-mentioned network devices can also be urban base stations, micro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0106] In a network structure, the network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node, a distributed unit (DU) node, a RAN device including a CU node and a DU node, or a RAN device including a control plane CU node (CU-CP node) and a user plane CU node (CU-UP node) and a DU node.

[0107] Network equipment provides services for cells, and terminal devices communicate with cells through transmission resources allocated by the network equipment (for example, frequency domain resources, or spectrum resources). The cell can belong to a macro base station (for example, a macro eNB or macro gNB), or to a base station corresponding to a small cell. Small cells here can include: metro cells, micro cells, pico cells, femto cells, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage and low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-speed data transmission services.

[0108] Currently, network equipment can configure measurement gaps (MGs) for terminal devices to perform measurements. These measurements can include, for example, inter-frequency measurements or inter-radio access technology (RAT) measurements. During the MGs, the terminal device stops data transmission, and the network equipment does not perform uplink or downlink scheduling. Therefore, using MGs for network measurements can affect the transmission of other service data.

[0109] For example, FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a scenario of business data transmission provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the business data is XR business data, and the period of discontinuous reception (DRX) of the business data is 16.67 ms. The burst arrival time (Burst Arrivals) of the XR business data can be understood as the moment when the pre-configured terminal device sends the XR business data to the network device. The period of the measurement gap used for the terminal device to perform network measurement is 20 ms. In FIG2 , each raised portion is a measurement gap, and the length of each raised portion is the length of the measurement gap.

[0110] If the burst arrival time 1 of the XR service data overlaps with the measurement gap 1, that is, the burst arrival time 1 is within the duration of the measurement gap 1, the terminal device stops transmitting the XR service data within the duration of the measurement gap 1 and starts transmitting the XR service data after the measurement gap 1 ends.

[0111] If the XR service data burst arrives at time 2 before measurement gap 2, the terminal device begins transmitting XR service data at burst arrival time 2 and stops transmitting the XR service data at the start of measurement gap 2. It then resumes transmitting the remaining XR service data after measurement gap 2 ends. Similarly, when the terminal device begins transmitting XR service data at burst arrival time 3, it also needs to suspend XR service data transmission for the duration of measurement gap 3.

[0112] As can be seen, when a terminal device uses measurement gaps to perform network measurements, the duration of the measurement gaps will affect the transmission of other service data. However, allowing data transmission during the measurement gaps may affect the accuracy of network measurements, thereby affecting behaviors such as cell handovers of the terminal device, and further reducing the quality of the network environment in which the terminal device is located. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a method that can maintain normal measurement performance of the terminal device while reducing the impact of measurement gaps on service data transmission and improving the user experience.

[0113] At present, in order to reduce the impact of measurement gaps on service data transmission, the impact of measurement time on service data transmission can also be reduced by configuring multiple measurement periods with shorter lengths and intervals of measurement time within the measurement period. The measurement time includes measurement gaps or SSB measurement time (SS / PBCH block measurement timing configuration, SMTC). The present application takes the measurement time including measurement gaps as an example. Exemplarily, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of another scenario of service data transmission provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3, there is at least one measurement period in Figure 3 that is configured as multiple (Figure 3 takes 3 as an example) shorter measurement times with intervals of measurement time, so that the length of the measurement time that conflicts with the transmission is shorter, the overlapping area between the transmission and the measurement time is reduced, and the duration of the suspension of transmission is reduced, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on service data transmission.

[0114] However, although this method can reduce the impact of the measurement time on the service data transmission to a certain extent, the measurement time may still have some impact on the service data transmission.

[0115] In view of this, the present application provides a measurement time configuration method, in which the network device determines conflict information indicating that there is overlap between the transmission and measurement time based on the first indication information reported by the terminal device, and adjusts the configuration of subsequent measurement time based on the conflict information to reduce the overlapping area between the subsequent measurement time and the transmission, reduce the conflict between the measurement time and the transmission, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on the transmission and improving the user experience.

[0116] The measurement time configuration method provided in the present application can be used for configuring the measurement gap in the scenario of FIG. 2 , and can also be used for configuring the measurement time in the scenario of FIG. 3 .

[0117] The following is a detailed description of the measurement time configuration method of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The execution subject of the embodiments shown in the present application is a terminal device or a network device, and the specific form and quantity of each device shown are only examples and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation of the method provided in the present application.

[0118] The terminal device in the embodiments of the present application can be the terminal device itself, or a chip, chip system, or processor that supports the terminal device to implement the data transmission method, or a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the terminal device functions. The network device in the embodiments of the present application can be the network device itself, or a chip, chip system, or processor that supports the network device to implement the data transmission method, or a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the network device functions. This application does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0119] FIG4 is a flow chart of a measurement time configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG4 , the method may include:

[0120] S401. The terminal device sends first indication information to the network device.

[0121] Correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information from the terminal device.

[0122] The first indication information is used to indicate conflict information of the first measurement time, and the conflict information is used to indicate that the first measurement time overlaps with relevant information of the transmission, that is, the conflict information is used to indicate relevant information that the time of the transmission overlaps with the first measurement time. The transmission may refer to transmitting data on the first resource.

[0123] The first indication information may indicate only the first measurement time that conflicts with the transmission time, or may indicate a second measurement time that includes the first measurement time. When indicating the second measurement time that includes the first measurement time, the second measurement time may include at least one first measurement time and at least one measurement time that does not conflict.

[0124] In one implementation, the conflict information may be determined by the terminal device based on historical data of transmission and measurement times, or may be determined by the terminal device based on a prediction of a transmission that has not yet occurred and a measurement time that has not yet arrived.

[0125] When conflict information is determined based on historical data, the terminal device can determine whether there is a conflict between the transmission and the measurement time based on whether the completed transmission overlaps with the measurement time that has passed or has been measured, or whether the completed transmission is interrupted and paused by the measurement time that has passed (for example, a time difference can be determined based on the start time and end time of the transmission, and compared with the predicted time when the transmission is not interrupted by the measurement time. If the difference between the two is greater than a preset threshold, it is considered to be interrupted by the measurement time; or when the transmission and measurement time overlap and no data transmission is performed, in this case, the transmission can be considered to be interrupted by the measurement gap), or whether the discontinuous reception activation time of the completed transmission overlaps with the measurement time that has passed (for example, the discontinuous reception activation time and the measurement time overlap in the time domain, in this case, the discontinuous reception activation time can be considered to overlap with the measurement time), etc. If there is a conflict, the measurement time with the conflict is the first measurement time. The first indication information can indicate conflict information within a measurement period, conflict information within multiple measurement periods, or conflict information within a specific duration, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0126] Exemplarily, continuing to refer to aforementioned FIG. 3 , if the second measurement time in the first measurement cycle is a measurement time that has already passed and the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, then the second measurement time in the first measurement cycle is the first measurement time and the transmission conflicts with the measurement time.

[0127] When the conflict information is determined based on the prediction results, the terminal device can determine whether there will be a conflict between the transmission and the measurement time in the future based on whether the transmission that has not yet occurred may overlap with the measurement time that has not yet arrived, or whether the transmission that has not yet occurred may be interrupted and paused by the measurement time that has not yet arrived, or whether the discontinuous reception activation time of the transmission that has not yet occurred may overlap with the measurement time that has not yet arrived, etc. If there is a conflict, the measurement time with the conflict is the first measurement time.

[0128] Optionally, the transmission can be an uplink transmission or a downlink transmission. When the type of the transmitted service data is an uplink transmission service, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, or the transmission is suspended due to being interrupted by the measurement time, then the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, or it can be said that the transmission conflicts with the measurement time. When the type of the transmitted service data is a downlink transmission service, if the transmission overlaps with the measurement time, or the transmission is suspended due to being interrupted by the measurement time, or the discontinuous reception activation time of the terminal device overlaps with the measurement time, then the transmission conflicts with the measurement time.

[0129] The first indication information may indicate conflict information of the first measurement time. For example, the first indication information may only indicate whether the first measurement time sends a conflict; or the first indication information may indicate one or more of the following information: the number of first measurement times, the first measurement time, the maximum number of conflicts that occur within a measurement period; or the first indication information may indicate whether the first measurement time sends a conflict and indicate one or more of the following information: the number of first measurement times, the first measurement time, the maximum number of conflicts that occur within a measurement period, etc.

[0130] When the first indication information indicates the first measurement time, it may be an identifier indicating the first measurement time, or an identifier indicating the position of the first measurement time, so as to determine which measurement time or times the first measurement time includes. For example, each measurement time in different measurement cycles has its own unique identifier, or multiple measurement times in a measurement cycle (such as measurement time 1 in Figure 3) have their own unique identifiers. The identifier may be the name, number, etc. of the measurement time, for example, the first measurement time, the second measurement time, etc. in the measurement cycle. The identifier of the first measurement time can be used to determine which measurement times are the first measurement times. For another example, the position of the first measurement time can be determined based on the number of the subframe included in the first measurement time, thereby determining which measurement times are the first measurement times. When there are multiple measurement times in a measurement cycle, the first indication information may also indicate the measurement cycle to which the first measurement time belongs, and further indicate which measurement time among the multiple measurement times is the first measurement time within the measurement cycle.

[0131] In one possible implementation, the first indication information is information indicating the conflict information. For example, the network device pre-stores a conflict information list, and the first indication information is used to indicate the conflict information from the conflict information list. The network device may determine the conflict information from the conflict information list based on the first indication information. The conflict information list may be generated based on conflict information historically reported by the terminal device.

[0132] In another possible implementation, the first indication information includes the content of the conflict information, and the network device can directly extract the conflict information from the first indication information.

[0133] S402: The network device adjusts the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first instruction information.

[0134] The configuration of the first measurement time is used to determine the position, length, etc. of the first measurement time. The network device may adjust the configuration of the first measurement time based on the first indication information to change the position of the first measurement time and / or the length of the first measurement time and / or the number of measurement times within a measurement period, so as to reduce the number of measurement times that conflict with transmissions, or change the position of the first measurement time to a position where transmissions do not conflict.

[0135] If the conflicting first measurement time is a measurement time that has passed or has been completed, the corresponding measurement time mode of the measurement time can be adjusted to adjust the configuration of subsequent measurement times that are the same as the measurement time mode of the first measurement time, thereby reducing the conflict between these subsequent measurement times.

[0136] If the conflicting first measurement time is a measurement time that has not yet arrived, the corresponding measurement time mode of the measurement time can be adjusted to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time before the transmission starts, thereby reducing the conflict with the first measurement time during subsequent transmission in advance.

[0137] After adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information, the network device can send the adjusted configuration of the first measurement time to the terminal device, so that the terminal device adjusts the position of the first measurement time, and / or the length of the first measurement time, and / or the number of measurement times within the measurement period according to the adjusted configuration of the first measurement time.

[0138] In one possible implementation, the network device may adjust the configuration of the first measurement time so that the position and / or length of the first measurement time changes. After the network device receives the next first indication information, it determines again whether it is necessary to continue adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time based on the change in the conflict information indicated in the next first indication information and the conflict information indicated by the first indication information. The network device can iteratively reduce the conflict between the transmission and measurement time by cyclically executing the above process until the content included in the conflict information indicated by the first indication information received by the network device is less than the corresponding preset conflict threshold. For example, until the conflict information indicated by the first indication information received by the network device indicates that the first measurement time does not exist, or the number of first measurement times included in the conflict information is less than the preset conflict number threshold, or the maximum number of conflicts within the measurement period is less than the preset maximum number threshold, etc.

[0139] In another possible implementation, the network device may adjust the configuration of the first measurement period to a configuration that does not conflict with the transmission based on information about the transmission that conflicts with the first measurement time and the first measurement period indicated by the first indication information. For example, the configuration of the first measurement period may be adjusted so that the position of the first measurement period does not overlap with the position of the transmission, or so that the overlap between the position of the first measurement period and the position of the transmission is reduced. The information about the transmission may include the position of the transmission, the transmission period, etc.

[0140] According to the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device monitors or predicts whether there is overlap between the transmission and measurement times, and reports first indication information indicating conflict information between the transmission and measurement times to the network device. The network device adjusts the configuration of the first measurement time that overlaps with the transmission based on the conflict information indicated by the first indication information, so that during subsequent transmissions, the number of first measurement times that overlap with the transmission is reduced, and / or the overlapping area is reduced, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on the transmission, improving the efficiency of the transmission, and enhancing the user experience.

[0141] Optionally, before the terminal device sends the first indication information to the network device, the network device may also send to the terminal device sixth indication information for indicating configuration information of at least two measurement times within the measurement period, for example, the configuration of the measurement time is shown in Figure 3. The terminal device performs measurement based on the sixth indication information, and when a measurement time and transmission conflict occurs, the terminal sends the first indication information. After receiving the first indication information sent by the terminal device, the network device adjusts the configuration information of the at least two measurement times based on the first indication information, and sends the adjusted configuration information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device adjusts the configuration of the at least two measurement times.

[0142] The first indication information is described in detail below, taking the content of the conflict information included in the first indication information as an example. The first indication information may include at least one of the following: the number of first measurement times, the first measurement time, and the maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information.

[0143] The number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that conflict with transmissions. Optionally, the first indication information indicates the number of measurement times that conflict with transmissions within a certain time period. In one embodiment, when the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information only includes one measurement cycle, the number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that overlap with transmissions within the measurement cycle. In another embodiment, when the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information includes multiple measurement cycles, in one case, the number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that overlap with transmissions within the multiple measurement cycles, and in another case, the number of first measurement gaps is the number of measurement times that overlap with transmissions corresponding to each measurement cycle of the multiple measurement cycles. Therefore, the number of first measurement gaps can include one or more values; in another embodiment, the number of first measurement times is the number of measurement times that overlap with transmissions within a period of time. In the above, whether to report the statistical indication information for one cycle or multiple cycles can be configured by the network side. For example, the network side configures the auxiliary information for counting the overlap between transmission and measurement time for three cycles.

[0144] The first measurement time is a measurement time that conflicts with the transmission, and can be represented by, for example, an identifier of the first measurement time. For example, each measurement time has a corresponding name, number, or other identifier, and the first indication information includes the identifier of the first measurement time that conflicts with the transmission. Alternatively, the first measurement time can be determined by the position of the first measurement time, for example, the first indication information includes the subframe occupied by the first measurement time that conflicts with the transmission, and the system frame number of the system frame to which these subframes belong. Alternatively, if the first measurement time is a measurement time that overlaps with the transmission within the measurement period, for example, it can be represented by indicating which measurement time in the measurement period is the first measurement time. Alternatively, if the first measurement time is a measurement time that overlaps with the transmission within the multiple measurement periods, for example, it can be represented by indicating which measurement time in each measurement period is the first measurement time (taking the scope of the conflict information including two measurement periods, and each measurement period including three measurement times as an example, for example, the third measurement time in measurement period 1, the first measurement time in measurement period 2, and the second measurement time in measurement period 2 can be indicated as the first measurement time).

[0145] The maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information may be the total number of first measurement times in the conflict information, or the maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information may be the total number of first measurement times corresponding to the measurement cycle with the largest number of conflicts in the reported measurement cycles.

[0146] Optionally, when the range of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information includes multiple measurement cycles, in order to further determine each first measurement time, the first indication information may also include the measurement cycle to which each first measurement time belongs (for example, including the identifier of the measurement cycle), so that the network device can quickly determine the first measurement time within the measurement cycle based on the measurement cycle to which each first measurement time belongs.

[0147] Optionally, since the network device in the aforementioned step S402 may also need to determine how to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time based on the information of the transmission that conflicts with the first measurement time, the first indication information may also include at least one of the service period, jitter information, and burst arrival time (BAT) information to determine the information of the transmission service that conflicts with the first measurement time. Among them, the transmission period can indicate the position of the transmission, so that the network device adjusts the position of the first measurement time according to the position of the transmission to avoid the position of the transmission. The jitter information can indicate the jitter deviation of the transmission, so that when the network device adjusts the position of the first measurement time according to the position of the transmission, the jitter deviation of the transmission can be reserved to prevent the transmission from overlapping with the measurement time due to the jitter deviation. The BAT information is used to determine the arrival time of the first data packet of the service (for example, a data burst). According to the BAT information, it can be determined whether the transmission of the service is during the measurement time, thereby determining whether the transmission of the service conflicts with the measurement time.

[0148] In addition, optionally, the first indication information can indicate whether there is a conflict between the measurement time and the transmission in the form of a bitmap. In this implementation, the first indication information can also include a bitmap, in which one bit corresponds to one measurement time, and the bit can indicate whether there is a conflict between the measurement time and the transmission. For example, when the bit value is the first value, it indicates that there is no conflict between the measurement time corresponding to the bit and the transmission; when the bit value is the second value, it indicates that there is a conflict between the measurement time corresponding to the bit and the transmission. The measurement time corresponding to the bit is the first measurement time mentioned above. Exemplarily, the first value can be 0, and the second value can be 1.

[0149] In a possible implementation, a bit in the bitmap corresponds to a measurement time within a transmission cycle. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a transmission conflict provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, the length of the transmission cycle is the same as the length of measurement cycle 1 and measurement cycle 2. During the transmission cycle, the data transmission is as shown in the figure, and the transmission overlaps with the second measurement time within measurement cycle 1, the third measurement time within measurement cycle 1, and the measurement time within measurement cycle 2, that is, there are two measurement cycles within the transmission cycle, a total of four measurement times, and the bitmap includes four bits, each bit corresponding to a measurement time within the transmission cycle. Therefore, in the bitmap, the value of the bit corresponding to the first measurement time within measurement cycle 1 is a first value of 0, indicating that the measurement time does not overlap with the transmission (that is, there is no conflict), and the value of the bit corresponding to the second measurement time within measurement cycle 1, the third measurement time within measurement cycle 1, and the measurement time within measurement cycle 2 is a second value of 1, indicating that the measurement time overlaps with the transmission (that is, there is a conflict), that is, the first measurement time indicated by the first indication information includes the second measurement time within measurement cycle 1, the third measurement time within measurement cycle 1, and the measurement time within measurement cycle 2.

[0150] Another possible implementation is that a bit in the bitmap corresponds to a measurement time within the measurement cycle. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of another transmission conflict provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the length of the transmission cycle is the same as the sum of the lengths of measurement cycle 1 and measurement cycle 2. This bitmap is a bitmap corresponding to measurement cycle 1. Since there are three measurement times in measurement cycle 1, the bitmap includes three bits, each bit corresponding to a measurement time within measurement cycle 1. In measurement cycle 1, data transmission overlaps with the second measurement time in measurement cycle 1 and the third measurement time in measurement cycle 1. Therefore, in the bitmap, the value of the bit corresponding to the first measurement time in measurement cycle 1 is a first value of 0, indicating that the measurement time does not overlap with the transmission (i.e., there is no conflict), and the value of the bit corresponding to the second measurement time in measurement cycle 1 and the third measurement time in measurement cycle 1 is a second value of 1, indicating that there is an overlap with the transmission (i.e., there is a conflict).

[0151] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes different conflict information in the first indication information to provide a data basis for the network device to adjust the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first indication information, so that the network device can adjust the configuration of the first measurement time to a configuration with less impact on transmission according to the conflict information indicated by the first indication information, thereby reducing the impact of the measurement time on transmission and improving transmission efficiency.

[0152] The following describes in detail how the terminal device reports the first indication information.

[0153] The terminal device may report the first indication information to the network device using a specific reporting method. For example, the specific reporting method is a first reporting method that includes a first sub-reporting method and / or a second sub-reporting method. The first sub-reporting method is used to indicate the scope of conflict information indicated by the first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device, and the second sub-reporting method is used to indicate the triggering conditions for the terminal device to report the first indication information to the network device.

[0154] First, the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device is introduced:

[0155] Optionally, the range of conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be conflict information within a first preset time length, and whenever the first preset time length is reached, the terminal device indicates the conflict information included in the first preset time length to the network device through the first indication information. The first preset time length may be pre-set in the terminal device, or determined by the terminal device itself, or may be obtained in advance by the terminal device from other devices. When the first preset time length is obtained in advance by the terminal device from other devices, the other devices may be, for example, network devices, or other devices connected to the terminal device. Taking the other device as a network device as an example, the first preset time length can be obtained by the terminal device through an indication received in advance from the network device. For example, the network device may send a second indication information to the terminal device in advance, and the second indication information is used to indicate the first preset time length; or, the network device directly sends the first preset time length to the terminal device.

[0156] In this implementation, the first preset duration can be set by a timer, and the timer can be a timer preset in the terminal device, or a timer sent to the terminal device by the network device. The duration of the timer is the same as the first preset duration. Taking the example of a timer sent by the network device to the terminal device, the network device can carry the timer in the second indication information and send it to the terminal device, or carry the timer in other information and send it to the terminal device, or the second indication information can instruct the terminal device to select a corresponding timer from multiple timers preset in the terminal device, or the second indication information can instruct the terminal device to set the duration of the timer to the second preset duration, etc. The timer can be any existing timer, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. Among them, when the terminal receiving device receives the configuration information for reporting the conflict information of the overlap of the transmission and measurement time sent by the network device, it can start the above-mentioned timer and trigger the reporting of the first indication information when the timer times out.

[0157] Optionally, the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be conflict information within a measurement period, that is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device only includes conflict information of measurement time and transmission within a measurement period.

[0158] Optionally, the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be conflict information within a preset number of measurement cycles, where the preset number is greater than or equal to 2. That is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device includes conflict information about measurement times and transmissions within the preset number of measurement cycles. For example, if the preset number is 3, the scope of the conflict information includes conflict information about measurement times and transmissions within three measurement cycles.

[0159] Optionally, the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be conflict information within multiple measurement cycles, that is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device includes conflict information of measurement time and transmission within at least two measurement cycles.

[0160] Optionally, the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may be conflict information within a transmission cycle. That is, each first indication information reported by the terminal device to the network device only includes conflict information about the measurement time and transmission included in a transmission cycle. The one transmission cycle may correspond to one or more measurement cycles.

[0161] Optionally, the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information may further include conflict information of a first measurement cycle within a second preset time length, and the first measurement cycle may include one or more measurement cycles. The first measurement cycle is a measurement cycle in which the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to the first conflict threshold, or a measurement cycle in which the number of conflicts is less than or equal to the second conflict threshold. In this case, the scope of the conflict information includes at least one measurement cycle, and there is a measurement time that conflicts with transmission within at least one measurement cycle. When the first measurement cycle is a measurement cycle in which the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to the first conflict threshold, the conflict information only includes conflict information of the measurement cycle in which the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to the first conflict threshold; when the first measurement cycle is a measurement cycle in which the number of conflicts is less than or equal to the second conflict threshold, the conflict information only includes conflict information of the measurement cycle in which the number of conflicts is less than or equal to the second conflict threshold. In this implementation, the first measurement cycle may also be the measurement cycle with the largest number of conflicts, or the measurement cycle with the smallest number of conflicts.

[0162] Next, the triggering conditions for the terminal device to report the first indication information to the network device are introduced:

[0163] Whenever the trigger condition is met, the terminal device reports the first indication information to the network device.

[0164] Optionally, the trigger condition may be that the number of conflicts is greater than or equal to a first quantity threshold (the number of conflicts may be one or more cycles or a period of time). For example, the first quantity threshold is 3, then when the transmission and measurement time conflicts of the terminal device reach 3 times, the terminal device reports the first indication information to the network device. The first quantity threshold may be pre-set in the terminal device, or determined by the terminal device itself, or may be obtained in advance by the terminal device from other devices. When the first quantity threshold is obtained in advance by the terminal device from other devices, the other devices may be, for example, network devices, or other devices connected to the terminal device. Taking the other devices as network devices as an example, the first quantity threshold may be obtained by the terminal device through an indication received in advance from the network device. For example, the network device may send a second indication information to the terminal device in advance, and the second indication information is used to indicate the first quantity threshold; or, the network device directly sends the first quantity threshold to the terminal device, etc.

[0165] Optionally, the trigger condition may be that there is a conflicting measurement time within the measurement period, or that there is a conflict at at least one measurement time. That is, for each measurement period, if there is no conflicting measurement time within the measurement period, the terminal device does not report the first indication information; if there is at least one measurement time within the measurement period that conflicts with the transmission, the terminal device reports the first indication information corresponding to the conflict information within the measurement period. In this implementation, the trigger condition may also be that there are a preset number of conflicting measurement times within the measurement period. If the number of measurement times with transmission conflicts within a measurement period is greater than or equal to the preset number, the terminal device reports the first indication information corresponding to the conflict information within the measurement period.

[0166] Optionally, the trigger condition may be that the duration reaches a first preset duration, and the first preset duration is the same as the first preset duration in the range of the aforementioned conflict information, that is, the terminal device periodically reports the first indication information to the network device according to the first preset duration. The terminal device may also implement this implementation method through the aforementioned timer (for example, when a timer with a duration equal to the first preset duration times out, the first indication information is reported to the network device), which will not be repeated here.

[0167] Optionally, the trigger condition may be that the conflict information is different from the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information. For example, the number of first measurement times in the conflict information is different from the number of first measurement times in the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information; and / or, at least one first measurement time in the conflict information is different from the first measurement time in the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information; and / or, the maximum number of conflicts in the conflict information is different from the maximum number of conflicts indicated by the previous first indication information, etc. When the conflict information is different from the conflict information indicated by the previous first indication information, it indicates that the conflict situation between the transmission and measurement time has changed, and the network device may need to further adjust the configuration of the first measurement time according to the change.

[0168] Optionally, the first indication information may also be triggered to be reported together with the measurement report reported by the terminal device to the network device. For example, when the terminal device reports the measurement report to the network device, the first indication information is also reported to the network device. In this case, the first indication information may be reported independently of the measurement report, or may be included in the measurement report and reported to the network device.

[0169] The specific configuration of the first reporting method may be pre-configured in the terminal device, or determined by the terminal device itself according to actual needs, or sent to the terminal device by the network device.

[0170] Taking the specific configuration of the first reporting method as an example, FIG7 is a flow chart of another measurement time configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG7, the method may include:

[0171] S701: The network device sends configuration information for reporting first indication information to the terminal device.

[0172] Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the configuration information for reporting the first indication information sent by the network device.

[0173] Wherein, the configuration information for reporting the first indication information includes second indication information for indicating a first quantity threshold and / or a first preset time length, and / or third indication information for instructing the terminal device to report the first indication information in a first reporting manner. Optionally, the second indication information and the third indication information may be the same indication information (for example, configuration information for reporting the first indication information, which includes the second indication information and the third indication information), or the second indication information and the third indication information may also be different indication information. When the second indication information and the third indication information are different indication information, the network device may send the second indication information and the third indication information to the terminal device at the same time, or may send the second indication information and the third indication information successively. This application does not limit the order in which the second indication information and the third indication information are sent.

[0174] For the second instruction:

[0175] In one possible implementation, the second indication information includes a specific configuration of the first quantity threshold and / or the first preset duration. For example, the second indication information includes the value of the first quantity threshold and / or the value of the first preset duration. Alternatively, the second indication information includes the value of the first quantity threshold and / or a timer, the duration of the timer being the same as the first preset duration. Optionally, the second indication information may further include a preset number, which is used to determine the number of measurement cycles included in the scope of the conflict information (if the preset number is 2, then the scope of the conflict information includes two measurement cycles).

[0176] In another possible implementation, the second indication information includes an identifier of the first quantity threshold and / or the first preset duration. Taking the first quantity threshold as an example, the terminal device can determine the first quantity threshold corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored first quantity threshold list based on the identifier of the first quantity threshold indicated by the second indication information. The first quantity threshold list and / or the first preset duration can be a list preset in the terminal device, or a list pre-obtained and stored by the terminal device from a network device.

[0177] For the third instruction:

[0178] In a possible implementation, the third indication information includes the specific configuration of the first reporting method. For example, the third indication information includes the content of the first sub-reporting method and / or the content of the second sub-reporting method.

[0179] Another possible implementation method is that the third indication information includes an identifier of the first reporting method. The terminal device can determine the first reporting method corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored list of candidate reporting methods based on the identifier of the first reporting method indicated by the third indication information. Alternatively, the third indication information includes an identifier of the first sub-reporting method, and / or an identifier of the second sub-reporting method. The terminal device can determine the first sub-reporting method corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored list of candidate first sub-reporting methods based on the identifier of the first sub-reporting method indicated by the third indication information, and / or determine the second sub-reporting method corresponding to the identifier from a pre-stored list of candidate second sub-reporting methods based on the identifier of the second sub-reporting method indicated by the third indication information, and then determine the first reporting method based on the first sub-reporting method, and / or the second sub-reporting method.

[0180] In this implementation, the candidate reporting method list, and / or the candidate first reporting method list, and / or the candidate second reporting method list can be a list preset in the terminal device, or a list pre-acquired and stored by the terminal device from the network device. Taking the list pre-acquired and stored from the network device as an example, the network device can send a fourth indication information to the terminal device in advance, and the fourth indication information includes the candidate reporting method list, and / or the candidate first reporting method list, and / or the candidate second reporting method list. After the terminal device obtains the fourth indication information, it can pre-store these lists. Optionally, the network device can also enable the terminal device to update the pre-stored candidate reporting method list, and / or the candidate first reporting method list, and / or the candidate second reporting method list at any time according to actual needs.

[0181] Optionally, after selecting the first reporting method from a candidate method list pre-configured in the terminal device, the terminal device may also feedback the selected first reporting method to the network device, so that the network device knows the reporting method used by the terminal device to report the first indication information.

[0182] S702. The terminal device determines a first reporting method according to the configuration information for reporting the first indication information and obtains conflict information according to the first reporting method.

[0183] The first reporting method includes a first sub-reporting method for indicating a range of conflict information and a second sub-reporting method for indicating a triggering condition for a terminal device to report conflict information.

[0184] S703: If the conflict information obtained by the terminal device meets the triggering condition for reporting the conflict information, first indication information is sent to the network device.

[0185] Correspondingly, the network device receives the first indication information sent by the terminal device.

[0186] The first indication information is used to indicate conflict information of a first measurement time that overlaps with the transmission.

[0187] S704: The network device adjusts the configuration of the first measurement time according to the first instruction information.

[0188] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can meet the various configuration requirements of the network device for adjusting the first measurement time through multiple ways of reporting the first indication information, so that the network device can improve the accuracy of the configuration of adjusting the first measurement time according to the first indication information, thereby improving the accuracy of the configuration of adjusting the first measurement time and more efficiently reducing the impact of the measurement time on transmission.

[0189] In addition, the method provided in the present application can also indicate the scope of the conflict information indicated by the first indication information reported by the terminal device by transmitting the corresponding service type. For example, when there is a conflict between the transmission and measurement time of a service type with a higher priority, the terminal device will collect the conflict information and report the corresponding first indication information to the network device; when the priority of the service type corresponding to the transmission is lower, the terminal device will not report. Alternatively, when there is a conflict between the transmission and measurement time of a service type with a higher service delay requirement, the terminal device will collect the conflict information and report the corresponding first indication information to the network device; when the service delay requirement of the service type corresponding to the transmission is lower, the terminal device will not report, etc.

[0190] In this implementation, the network device may further send fifth indication information to the terminal device to indicate the service type for which conflict information reporting is required. The fifth indication information may directly indicate the service type or service identifier for which conflict information reporting is required, or may indirectly indicate the service type for which conflict information reporting is required by indicating the first logical channel group corresponding to the service type for which conflict information reporting is required.

[0191] It should be understood that the aforementioned second indication information, third indication information, fourth indication information, and fifth indication information can be four independent indication information or at least two of them can be combined. If the four indication information are combined into one indication information, the corresponding at least two indication information can be sent by the network device simultaneously or sequentially. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0192] According to the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device further judges and filters the transmitted service type, and only reports the conflict information of the service type that needs to report the conflict information to the network device, instead of reporting all the transmitted conflict information. This reduces the workload of the network device in adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time, improves the efficiency of the network device in adjusting the configuration of the first measurement time, and is more in line with the user's needs for service data transmission, thereby improving the user experience.

[0193] FIG8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a measurement time configuration device provided in an embodiment of the present application. It is understandable that the measurement time configuration device can implement the operations or steps of the corresponding network devices in the aforementioned various method embodiments. The measurement time configuration device can be a network device or a component that can be configured in a network device, such as a chip, a chip module, etc. As shown in FIG8 , the measurement time configuration device may include: a receiving module 801. In one possible implementation, it may also include: a sending module 802 and a processing module 803. Optionally, the receiving module 801 and the sending module 802 may be integrated in the transceiver module or may be separated.

[0194] The receiving module 801 is configured to receive first indication information from a terminal device, where the first indication information is used to indicate conflict information of a first measurement time, where the conflict information is used to indicate that the first measurement time overlaps with a transmission.

[0195] Optionally, the transmission is uplink transmission or downlink transmission. When the transmission is downlink transmission, the transmission includes discontinuous reception DRX activation time.

[0196] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: a conflict indication, the number of the first measurement times, the first measurement time, a maximum number of conflicts, and a period to which the first measurement time belongs.

[0197] Optionally, the first indication information also includes at least one of the following: transmission period, jitter information, and BAT information.

[0198] Optionally, the first indication information includes a bitmap, wherein a bit in the bitmap corresponds to a measurement time within the transmission period. When the bit value is a first value, it indicates that the measurement time corresponding to the bit does not conflict with the transmission. When the bit value is a second value, it indicates that the measurement time corresponding to the bit conflicts with the transmission.

[0199] Optionally, the sending module 802 is further used to send third indication information to the terminal device, where the third indication information is used to indicate the first reporting method.

[0200] Optionally, the sending module 802 is used to send a second indication message to the terminal device, where the second indication message is used to indicate the first quantity threshold, and / or the first preset duration, and / or the preset quantity, and / or the preset measurement cycle quantity.

[0201] Optionally, the receiving module 801 is specifically configured to receive the first indication information reported by the terminal device using a first reporting method.

[0202] Optionally, the first reporting method includes a first sub-reporting method, and the first sub-reporting method is used to indicate the scope of the conflict information, where the scope of the conflict information includes conflict information within a first preset duration. Alternatively, the scope of the conflict information includes conflict information within one measurement cycle.
