Description

Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement method and device

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202410177817X, filed on February 8, 2024, entitled “Radio Resource Management RRM Measurement Method and Device,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a radio resource management (RRM) measurement method and device. Background Art

[0004] Extended Reality (XR) is a key service within 5G media applications. Represented by augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR), XR uses computer technology and wearable devices to create a combination of real and virtual environments, as well as related human-computer interactions. The degree of virtuality from AR to VR ranges from weak to strong, from augmented reality (AR), which relies on partial sensory input, to fully virtual human sensory presence (VR), where XR devices create an "illusion" of human vision, hearing, or the environment.

[0005] The XR service has a transmission characteristic that is approximately periodic, that is, the XR service source will generate corresponding data packets at a certain refresh rate. For example, a refresh rate of 60 frames (60 frames per second (Frames Per Second, FPS)) means that 60 data frames will be generated per second, and the time interval between data frames is 16.67 milliseconds. A refresh rate of 120 frames (120FPS) means that 120 data frames will be generated per second, and the time interval between data frames is 8.33 milliseconds. From the configuration of the measurement gap (MG), if the configuration period of the MG does not match the XR service period (such as 16.67ms), the XR service transmission will inevitably fall into the measurement gap MG. In the above case, when there is a delay-sensitive service, such as an XR service, the transmission will affect the data transmission performance and system throughput due to the radio resource management (RRM) measurement. For those skilled in the art, how to reduce the impact of measurement events on delay-sensitive services is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0150] In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of the present disclosure, some relevant knowledge is first introduced as follows.

[0151] 1. RRM measurement GAP configuration:

[0152] After the terminal is powered on, it needs to measure the signals of the same-frequency neighboring cells and adjacent-frequency neighboring cells. Due to terminal cost control and other reasons, the terminal only has one wireless module (RF Model) for measurement, transmission, and data transmission and reception.

[0153] While transmitting and receiving data in the serving cell, the terminal measures the signals of the adjacent cells with the same frequency. When measuring the signals of cells with different frequencies or systems, the terminal suspends the data transmission of the serving cell and adjusts the wireless module to the different frequency (different system) for measurement. After the measurement is completed, the communication connection with the original serving cell is restored.

[0154] On the indicated synchronization signal block SSB frequency, the terminal performs SS / PBCH block-based RRM measurement and CSI-RS-based RRM measurement only in SMTC, and does not consider SS / PBCH block transmission in subframes outside SMTC.

[0155] The duration during which the terminal suspends data transmission in the serving cell and performs inter-frequency (inter-system) cell measurement is the measurement GAP.

[0156] In 5G (NR) networks, RRC is responsible for providing measurement gap mode configuration to the terminal. This is accomplished using the MeasGapConfig IE within the MeasConfig IE, which is carried in the RRC reconfiguration message. This parameter is divided into two parts: the first part specifies the start and end of the measurement gap (GAP), and the second part is the measurement gap offset, which specifies the start and end of the GAP.

[0157] Table 1 below shows the configuration diagram for measuring GAP, including the measurement GAP repetition period, measurement GAP length, etc. The calculation method for measuring GAP is as follows: SFN and subframe number need to satisfy the following relationship: SFN mod T = FLOOR (gapOffset / 10); subframe = gapOffset mod 10;

[0158] Wherein, T=MGRP / 10, MGRP is the measurement GAP repetition period, gapOffset is the offset value of the measurement GAP within the repetition period, and FLOOR is a round-down operation.

[0159] Table 1

[0160] 2. Pre-configured measurement GAP solution:

[0161] Rel-17 standardizes an enhanced GAP configuration, namely pre-configured MG patterns. The basic idea is to pre-configure one or more GAP patterns. When a BWP handover occurs, only the pre-configured GAP pattern needs to be activated or deactivated.

[0162] When the terminal is transmitting delay-sensitive services, activating or deactivating the pre-configured GAP pattern through BWP switching will inevitably affect the service transmission performance. Once the GAP pattern is activated, the measurement GAP pattern remains unchanged before deactivation.

[0163] 3. Multiple measurement GAP solutions:

[0164] In Release 15 / 16 NR systems, network devices can only be configured with one GAP pattern at a time, which limits network configuration flexibility and may extend the terminal's measurement cycle. Release 17 further enhances the measurement GAP, allowing each FR to be configured with up to two measurement GAPs.

[0165] Supporting multiple measurement gaps not only increases the flexibility of RRM measurements, but also increases the probability of conflicts between service transmission and measurement gaps. When conflicts occur, data transmission will still be suspended, thus affecting service transmission performance due to RRM measurements.

[0166] 4. Pre-MG and concurrent MG:

[0167] Rel-18 further explores an enhanced joint use scheme for Rel-17 GAP configurations. Pre-MGs are used in conjunction with concurrent MGs, meaning each FR can be pre-configured with up to two GAPs. Terminal capabilities indicate whether two Pre-MGs can be activated / deactivated simultaneously. However, the aforementioned issues remain unavoidable.

[0168] If the Measurement Gap (MG) configuration period does not match the XR service period (e.g., 16.67ms), XR service transmission will inevitably fall within the MG. For example, the following protocol restrictions can affect XR service data transmission performance: 1) When the MG is configured, no signals or data can be received or transmitted except for signals used for measurement and random access. 2) When the MG is not configured, the protocol imposes certain scheduling restrictions, such as prohibiting the terminal from transmitting uplink signals during the synchronization signal / broadcast channel block (SSB) symbol to be measured and the symbol before and after it.

[0169] In the above scenario, when delay-sensitive services, such as XR services, are being transmitted, the radio resource management (RRM) measurements can affect data transmission performance and system throughput. For those skilled in the art, mitigating the impact of measurement events on delay-sensitive services is a technical issue that needs to be addressed.

[0170] FIG1 is a flow chart of an RRM measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an RRM measurement method, the execution subject of which may be a terminal, such as a mobile phone. The method includes:

[0171] Step 101: Perform at least one of the following operations based on the first information:

[0172] performing a first measurement within a first measurement interval;

[0173] performing a second measurement within a second measurement interval;

[0174] skipping the first measurement in the third measurement interval;

[0175] Sending measurement-related feedback information to network devices;

[0176] The first information is obtained through at least one of the following: configuration information of the network device, protocol predefined information, first indication information sent by the network device, and decision information of the terminal.

[0177] In some embodiments, any two of the first measurement interval, the second measurement interval, and the third measurement interval may be different.

[0178] Specifically, when the time period or measurement window corresponding to the measurement event conflicts with data transmission of the terminal, the terminal may perform a measurement operation or perform data transmission according to the first information.

[0179] For example, for high-priority services or delay-sensitive services, the first measurement within the third measurement interval can be directly skipped; or, data transmission can be omitted, and the first measurement within the first measurement interval can still be performed, for example, the network device is configured to skip the first measurement within the third measurement interval, or dynamically indicates to skip the first measurement within the third measurement interval, or the protocol predefines skipping the first measurement within the third measurement interval; or, a second measurement can be performed, that is, a second measurement is performed within the second measurement interval, for example, measurement can be performed within the second measurement interval according to the configuration information or indication of the network device.

[0180] In some embodiments, the terminal may also independently decide to send measurement-related feedback information to the network device, that is, send measurement-related feedback information to the network device based on the decision information.

[0181] Among them, the third measurement interval includes at least one of the following: a measurement interval MG, a synchronization signal block measurement time configuration (SS / PBCH Block Measurement Timing Configuration, SMTC) window, a time window configured by the base station high-layer signaling, a time period in which the reference signal is measured and a specific offset time before and / or after the time period, a time unit in which a conflict occurs and a specific offset time before and / or after the time unit, a time interval specified by the protocol, etc.

[0182] Skipping the first measurement in the third measurement interval includes at least one of the following:

[0183] Skip the measurement of the measurement window in which the conflict occurs. Here, the measurement window can be a measurement interval MG, an SMTC window, or a time window configured by the base station high-level signaling; or

[0184] Skip the measurement of the time period in which the reference signal is measured and the measurement corresponding to the specific offset time before and / or after the time period, where the offset time is N time units, N is a number greater than or equal to 0, and the time unit can be a time slot, a symbol, a millisecond, etc. For example: for the measurement based on the SSB signal, if the terminal data partially or completely overlaps with the time period in which the SSB is located, the terminal can skip the measurement of the symbol in which the SSB is located and the N symbol time periods before and after it; or

[0185] Only skipping the time unit in which the conflict occurs and the measurement corresponding to the specific offset time before and / or after the time unit, where the offset time is N time units, N is a number greater than or equal to 0, and the time unit can be a time slot, a symbol, a millisecond, etc. For example: the base station configures the measurement interval MG or SMTC window of the first measurement to be T1 time units, and the data transmission only conflicts with the T2 time unit in the measurement interval or SMTC window, then the terminal only skips the measurement corresponding to the T2 time unit and the specific offset time before and / or after the time unit, and performs data transmission, and the first measurement can still be performed in the remaining time; or

[0186] Skipping low-priority measurement intervals or measurement events. For example, the base station configures the priority of at least one of data transmission, measurement intervals, or measurement events. When data transmission conflicts with a low-priority measurement interval or measurement event, the low-priority measurement interval or measurement event is skipped. When data transmission conflicts with a high-priority measurement interval or measurement event, the low-priority data transmission is suspended. When data transmission conflicts with a measurement interval or measurement event of the same priority, whether to skip the measurement interval or measurement event can be determined based on the first information.

[0187] In the RRM measurement method of this embodiment, the terminal performs at least one of the following operations based on the first information: performing a first measurement within a first measurement interval; performing a second measurement within a second measurement interval; skipping the first measurement within a third measurement interval; and sending measurement-related feedback information to a network device; the first information is obtained through at least one of the following: configuration information of the network device, protocol predefined information, first indication information sent by the network device, and decision information of the terminal. By skipping the first measurement within the third measurement interval, performing the first measurement within the first measurement interval, and performing the second measurement within the second measurement interval, the impact of the measurement event on service transmission, especially the impact on the transmission performance of delay-sensitive services, can be reduced or avoided.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first measurement interval, the second measurement interval, or the third measurement interval includes at least one of the following:

[0189] Preconfigured RRM measurement interval MG;

[0190] Preconfigured synchronization signal block measurement time configuration SMTC window;

[0191] The first time interval configured by the higher layer signaling;

[0193] SMTC window in the second time period;

[0194] a second time interval defined by the protocol;

[0195] a third time period in which the reference signal is measured;

[0196] a first offset time before and / or after the third time period;

[0197] the time unit in which the conflict occurred;

[0198] A second offset time before and / or after the time unit where the conflict occurs.

[0199] In some embodiments, the higher layer signaling is such as RRC layer signaling.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first time period, the second time period, the third time period, the first offset time, or the second offset time can be at least one of protocol pre-defined, network side device configured, network side device dynamically indicated, or determined by the terminal itself.

[0201] For example: at least one of the first measurement interval or the second measurement interval or the third measurement interval is: the first time period is M RRM measurement intervals within a fixed time length T, wherein the first time period is predefined by the protocol or configured by high-level signaling of the network side device.

[0202] In some embodiments, the protocol predefined information includes: sixth indication information, where the sixth indication information is used to indicate whether to skip the first measurement.

[0203] In some embodiments, the preconfigured RRM measurement interval MG may be one or more specific MGs in the preconfigured RRM measurement interval MG, and specifically, may be configured through higher layer signaling.

[0204] In some embodiments, the preconfigured synchronization signal block measurement time configuration SMTC window may be one or more specific SMTC windows in the preconfigured SMTC window, and specifically, may be configured through high-layer signaling.

[0205] Specifically, the first measurement in the first measurement interval may be performed, or the second measurement in the second measurement interval may be performed according to whether to skip the first measurement as indicated in the protocol predefined information.

[0206] For example, the protocol predefined information indicates that for high-priority services or delay-sensitive services, the first measurement in the third measurement interval is skipped, and for other low-priority services, the first measurement can be performed without data transmission.

[0207] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the network device includes at least one of the following:

[0208] second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate whether to skip the first measurement;

[0212] at least one candidate time interval for the second measurement interval;

[0213] at least one candidate time interval of the third measurement interval;

[0214] a priority of at least one of the first measurement, the second measurement, and the data transmission;

[0215] The third indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report measurement-related feedback information.

[0216] In some embodiments, the relevant information of the first measurement or the relevant information of the second measurement includes at least one of the following: measurement type, relevant information of a measurement event or measurement window, and measurement target;

[0217] The relevant information of the measurement event or measurement window includes at least one of the following: the period of the measurement event or measurement window, the offset value of the measurement event or measurement window, the start time of the measurement event or measurement window, the end time of the measurement event or measurement window, the duration of the measurement event or measurement window, the interval between the measurement events or measurement windows, and the advance amount of the measurement event or measurement window.

[0218] In some embodiments, the measurement window in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to the time window in which the terminal performs RRM measurements of the measurement type, including: the configured MG, SMTC, and the measurement time period based on the measurement reference signal, as well as the preparation time before and after the measurement. Unless otherwise specified, the above content applies.

[0219] In some embodiments, the measurement type includes at least one of the following: SSB-based layer L1 measurement, CSI-RS-based L1 measurement, positioning reference signal PRS-based L1 measurement, same-frequency measurement, different-frequency measurement, and different radio access technology (inter-Radio Access Technology, inter-RAT) measurement.

[0220] The L1 measurement is the RRM measurement. The cross-radio access technology measurement includes at least one of the RRM measurements of the terminal on the 4G access network (Evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network, E-UTRAN) frequency division duplex (FDD) and E-UTRAN time division duplex (TDD).

[0221] Specifically, the network device can configure at least one information to the terminal, such as indication information indicating whether to skip the first measurement; relevant information of the first measurement; relevant information of the second measurement; at least one candidate time interval of the first measurement interval; at least one candidate time interval of the second measurement interval; at least one candidate time interval of the third measurement interval; the priority of at least one of the first measurement, the second measurement, and the data transmission; and indication information instructing the terminal to report feedback information related to the measurement.

[0222] In some embodiments, the measurement-related feedback information includes at least one of the following:

[0223] measurement feedback information, where the measurement feedback information is used to notify the network device that the terminal performs at least one of a first measurement in the first measurement interval, a second measurement in the second measurement interval, and skips the first measurement in the third measurement interval;

[0224] a target parameter of the relevant information of the first measurement;

[0225] a target parameter of the relevant information of the second measurement;

[0226] a target time interval of the first measurement interval;

[0227] a target time interval of the second measurement interval;

[0228] The third measurement interval corresponds to a target time interval.

[0229] For example, the terminal reports relevant information of the second measurement to the network device, and the network device sends a corresponding reference signal for the second measurement of the terminal within the time interval or measurement window included in the relevant information of the second measurement based on the relevant information of the second measurement fed back by the terminal.

[0230] For example, the network device configures multiple candidate time intervals of the first measurement interval. The terminal can report a target time interval selected from the candidate time intervals to the network device, and the network device sends a corresponding reference signal within the target time interval for the first measurement of the terminal.

[0231] For example, the network device configures multiple candidate time intervals for the second measurement interval. The terminal can report a target time interval selected from the candidate time intervals to the network device, and the network device sends a corresponding reference signal within the target time interval for the second measurement of the terminal.

[0232] For example, the network device is configured with multiple candidate time intervals of the third measurement interval, and the terminal may report to the network device that at least one of the candidate time intervals is skipped.

[0233] For example, the network device is configured with multiple candidate values ​​for each parameter in the relevant information of the first measurement or the second measurement. The terminal can feedback the target candidate values ​​of each parameter to the network device, and the terminal performs measurement based on the target candidate values ​​of each parameter of the first measurement or the second measurement.

[0234] In some embodiments, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0235] fourth indication information, where the fourth indication information is used to indicate whether to skip the first measurement;

[0236] Information about the first measurement;

[0237] information related to the second measurement;

[0238] indication information of the first measurement interval;

[0239] indication information of the second measurement interval;

[0240] indication information of the third measurement interval;

[0241] a priority of at least one of the first measurement, the second measurement, and the data transmission;

[0242] Fifth indication information, where the fifth indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report measurement-related feedback information.

[0243] Specifically, the network device sends first indication information to the terminal, which can be used to indicate whether the terminal skips the first measurement, relevant information of the first measurement, relevant information of the second measurement, the first measurement interval corresponding to the first measurement, the second measurement interval corresponding to the second measurement, indication information of the skipped third measurement interval, the priority of at least one of the first measurement, the second measurement, and data transmission, or instruct the terminal to report measurement-related feedback information, such as whether to perform the measurement, or the target parameters of the measurement selected by the terminal.

[0244] For example: the network device configures a candidate value list of the first measurement interval for the terminal through high-layer signaling, and indicates the target first measurement interval to the terminal through the indication information of the first measurement interval, so that the terminal performs the first measurement in the target first measurement interval when data transmission conflicts with RRM measurement transmission.

[0245] In some embodiments, the measurement-related feedback information includes at least one of the following:

[0246] measurement feedback information, where the measurement feedback information is used to notify the network device that the terminal performs at least one of a first measurement in the first measurement interval, a second measurement in the second measurement interval, and skips the first measurement in the third measurement interval;

[0247] a target value of at least one parameter in the relevant information of the first measurement;

[0248] a target value of at least one parameter in the relevant information of the second measurement;

[0249] a target time interval corresponding to the first measurement interval;

[0250] a target time interval corresponding to the second measurement interval;

[0251] The third measurement interval corresponds to a target time interval.

[0252] In some embodiments, the measurement-related feedback information is carried via uplink control information UCI signaling;

[0253] In some embodiments, the UCI signaling includes: unused transmission opportunity uplink control information (UTO-UCI) signaling.

[0254] In the above implementation, the terminal sends measurement-related feedback information to the network device, and the network device can use the measurement-related feedback information to cooperate with the terminal's measurement, so that the terminal can decide the measurement-related information and whether to skip the measurement based on actual needs, which is more flexible.

[0255] Exemplarily, whether data transmission can be performed when the MG configured by RRC signaling conflicts with data transmission or when scheduling is restricted. The method includes at least one of the following steps:

[0256] 1. A network device (such as a base station) sends configuration information, where the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0257] Indication information of whether to skip the first measurement; that is, when data transmission, such as delay-sensitive services, XR services, URLLC services, etc., conflicts with the first measurement, indication information of whether to skip the first measurement.

[0258] Measurement type; for example, SSB-based L1 measurement, CSI-RS-based L1 measurement, PRS-based L1 measurement, intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and inter-radio access technology measurement.

[0259] At least one candidate time interval of the first measurement interval, the second measurement interval, or the third measurement interval, where the candidate time interval includes, for example, a configured or pre-configured RRM measurement interval (MG), an SMTC window, a dedicated time interval configured by a higher layer, etc. For example, when the indication information for skipping the first measurement is skip, only the first measurement within the candidate time interval is skipped.

[0260] 2. The terminal performs the target operation based on the configuration information of the network device, including at least one of the following methods:

[0261] If the indication information for skipping the first measurement in the higher-layer signaling is true (true), that is, when data service transmission, such as delay-sensitive service, XR service, ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) service, etc., conflicts with the first measurement, the first measurement is not performed within the candidate time interval of the first measurement interval, as shown in Figure 2.

[0262] If the indication information for skipping the first measurement in the higher layer signaling is false, that is, when data service transmission conflicts with the first measurement, the first measurement is still performed within the candidate time interval of the first measurement interval.

[0263] Exemplarily, when multiple candidate time intervals are preconfigured, dynamic MG adjustment can be performed according to data transmission conditions, as shown in FIG3 .

[0264] 1. The network device sends configuration information, where the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0265] a candidate parameter list of at least one parameter in the relevant information of the first measurement, wherein the relevant information of the first measurement includes at least one of the following: a measurement type, relevant information of a measurement event or a measurement window, and a measurement target;

[0266] The relevant information of the measurement event or measurement window includes at least one of the following: the period of the measurement event or measurement window, the offset value of the measurement event or measurement window, the start time of the measurement event or measurement window, the end time of the measurement event or measurement window, the duration of the measurement event or measurement window, the interval between measurement events or measurement windows, etc.

[0267] For example, the base station preconfigures multiple candidate time intervals, {MG#1, MG#2}. These candidate time intervals differ in at least one of their start time, end time, duration, period, and offset. The candidate MG value and the Pre-MG can be different MGs. For example, if the terminal supports both pre-MG and concurrent MG, the base station can configure multiple candidate MG values ​​for each pre-MG.

[0268] 2. The network device carries measurement indication information through high-layer signaling (such as RRC layer signaling) or dynamic signaling, such as first indication information, which can instruct the terminal to skip the first measurement in the third measurement interval, perform the first measurement in the first measurement interval, or perform the second measurement in the second measurement interval, where the dynamic signaling includes: at least one of DCI signaling and MAC layer signaling.

[0269] For example, the measurement indication information is carried by the DCI that carries the scheduling information (hereinafter referred to as scheduling DCI), such as DCI format X-1 and DCI format X-2. The measurement indication information can be an information field added to the DCI that carries the scheduling information, or it can be a redefinition of the existing information field. When downlink data transmission occurs, if the data transmission conflicts with the measurement interval or measurement event, such as if the current service is a delay-sensitive service, such as XR, URLLC, etc.

[0270] The base station may instruct the terminal to skip the measurement interval or measurement event in which the conflict occurs and receive / send data by scheduling DCI to carry measurement indication information; or,

[0271] The base station instructs the terminal to perform the first measurement in a specific candidate time interval corresponding to the first measurement interval by scheduling DCI to carry measurement indication information, wherein the specific candidate time interval is an item in the candidate time interval list configured by the higher layer signaling; or

[0272] The base station instructs the terminal to perform a first measurement within a first measurement interval by scheduling DCI to carry measurement indication information, wherein at least one candidate value of each parameter in the relevant information of the first measurement interval can be configured by high-layer signaling and / or indicated by the measurement indication information carried by the scheduling DCI.

[0273] The base station instructs the terminal to perform the second measurement in a specific candidate time interval corresponding to the second measurement interval by scheduling DCI to carry measurement indication information, wherein the specific candidate time interval is an item in the candidate time interval list configured by the higher layer signaling; or

[0274] The base station instructs the terminal to perform a second measurement within the second measurement interval by scheduling DCI to carry measurement indication information, wherein at least one candidate value of each parameter in the relevant information of the second measurement interval can be configured by high-layer signaling and / or indicated by the measurement indication information carried by the scheduling DCI.

[0275] For another example, measurement indication information is carried by DCI (referred to as non-scheduled DCI) that does not carry scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) / physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) information, such as DCI format X-1, DCI format X-2, and DCI format X-3. The measurement indication information can be an information field added to the non-scheduled DCI, or it can be a redefinition of an existing information field. Non-scheduled DCI can enable the terminal to skip or reselect measurement intervals or measurement events within a specific candidate time interval, as well as adjust measurement-related parameters, when no data is scheduled.

[0276] In some embodiments, the measurement indication information may also be carried by group common signaling.

[0277] For another example, the measurement indication information is carried in MAC layer signaling, such as MAC CE. The candidate time intervals or candidate parameters of the measurement events are bitmapped in the MAC CE, where the measurement interval or measurement-related parameter corresponding to "1" is indicated as the relevant information of the first measurement or the second measurement.

[0278] 3. The terminal performs measurement according to at least one of the configuration information and the measurement instruction information, specifically in the following manner:

[0279] The measurement indication information indicates the corresponding index value of the measurement interval MG#2. For example, when data service transmission, such as delay-sensitive service, XR service, URLLC service, etc., conflicts with the first measurement, the terminal performs a second measurement in the measurement interval MG#2 indicated by the measurement indication information.

[0280] For example, as shown in FIG3 , based on the indication of the DCI, the measurement of the candidate time interval MG# 1 is skipped, and based on the indication of the DCI or the MAC CE, the measurement is performed in the candidate time interval MG# 2 .

[0281] Exemplarily, the method comprises at least one of the following steps:

[0282] 1. The network device sends configuration information.

[0283] The configuration information can be found in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0284] 2. The terminal skips the first measurement in the third measurement interval, performs the first measurement in the first measurement interval, or performs the second measurement in the second measurement interval based on at least one of the configuration information and the measurement indication information.

[0285] For example, when the terminal has uplink data service transmission, such as delay-sensitive service, XR service, URLLC service, etc., which conflicts with the first measurement, the terminal expects to perform a second measurement within the second measurement interval. The terminal then uses UCI, such as UTO-UCI, to feedback the index value of the second measurement interval in the candidate time interval list to the base station, and expects the base station to send a corresponding reference signal in the second measurement interval for the second measurement.

[0286] For another example, measurement-related feedback information is carried in UTO-UCI signaling and is used to indicate whether to skip a specific measurement interval or a specific measurement event. The specific measurement interval or specific measurement event can be configured through higher-layer signaling. For example, whether to skip the first measurement within the third measurement interval, or whether to perform the first measurement within the first measurement interval or the second measurement within the second measurement interval.

[0287] The terminal is configured with configured grant (CG) transmission. When the CG PUSCH transmission opportunity indicated to be "used" conflicts with the measurement interval or measurement event, the terminal can indicate whether to skip the conflicting measurement interval or measurement event through the UCI transmitted on the PUSCH, and / or indicate the target value of the relevant information of the measurement interval or measurement event, where the relevant information of the measurement interval or measurement event may be at least one item in the candidate list of relevant information configured by the base station.

[0288] 3. Based on the target value of the measurement interval or measurement event related information fed back by the terminal in the UCI, the base station sends the corresponding reference signal in the corresponding time interval for the terminal's measurement.

[0289] As shown in Figure 4, "0" in the UCI indicates that service data is transmitted, and "1" indicates that service data is not transmitted. In this case, the terminal does not perform the data transmission corresponding to "0" and the corresponding measurement of MG#1, and performs the data transmission corresponding to "1" and the corresponding measurement of MG#1; or, the terminal does not perform the data transmission corresponding to "0" and the corresponding measurement of MG#1, and performs the data transmission corresponding to "1" and the corresponding measurement of MG#2.
