[0047] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the following contents are first introduced:
[0048] Extended Reality (XR) business
[0049] XR refers to all combined real and virtual environments and human-computer interactions generated by computer technology and wearable devices. It includes representative forms such as augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), virtual reality (VR), and their intersections. The levels of virtual worlds range from partial sensory input to fully immersive virtual reality. A key aspect of XR is the expansion of human experience, especially those related to presence (represented by VR) and cognitive learning (represented by AR).
[0050] For VR services, the uplink primarily involves the transmission of densely packed small data packets. These packets carry information such as gestures and controls, serving as input and reference for downlink presentation data. Downlink primarily involves the transmission of multimedia data, such as video and audio. The timely reception and presentation of this multimedia data provide users with an immersive experience. Taking downlink video data as an example, video data can be modeled as video frames based on a frame rate (Frames Per Second, FPS), with typical FPS values of 60 or 120. These video frames arrive periodically or quasi-periodically based on a period determined by the FPS (1 / FPS second), and their size varies dynamically. Each video frame is typically required to be successfully transmitted over the air interface within 10ms, with a transmission success rate of at least 99% or even 99.9%. Furthermore, downlink video data typically requires a very high data rate, typically reaching tens or even hundreds of Mbps (typical values are 30 / 45 Mbps).
[0051] For AR services, in addition to the above-mentioned dense transmission of small data packets, uplink may also transmit multimedia data such as video, audio, and scene images. Its service characteristics are similar to those of downlink. The data rate is usually relatively low, for example, at most tens of Mbps (typically 10 / 20 Mbps). The time limit for air interface transmission can also be relaxed. For example, each video frame is generally required to be successfully transmitted within 30ms. The downlink data transmission characteristics are basically the same as those of VR services.
[0052] Gap mechanism in NR
[0053] In the NR system, to support systemic mobility (e.g., cell handover), multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM), transmit power control, and beam management, the radio link monitoring (RFM) base station configures Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) / Channel-State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources for the user equipment (UE) in the current serving cell and one or more neighboring cells for radio resource management (RRM) measurements. Furthermore, due to limitations in the UE's transceiver capabilities, such as the inability of the UE to transmit and receive simultaneously, or to simultaneously receive downlink transmissions with different subcarrier spacings (SCSs), and beam capacity, these measurements require a certain gap. Therefore, the base station configures a measurement gap (MG) for the UE or implements certain protocol-defined scheduling restrictions.
[0054] 1) Basic Measurement Gap Configuration
[0055] If the UE requires a measurement gap to identify and measure at least one of intra-frequency cells, inter-frequency cells, and inter-RAT E-UTRAN cells, where UTMS refers to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, then:
[0056] If the UE does not support independent measurement gap patterns for different frequency ranges, the network needs to provide a per-UE measurement gap pattern for concurrent monitoring of all frequency layers.
[0057] If the UE supports independent measurement gap patterns for different frequency ranges, the network needs to provide: a per Frequency Range measurement gap pattern (per-FR measurement gap pattern) for the frequency range where the UE requires independent concurrent monitoring of all frequency layers of each frequency range; or a UE-level measurement gap pattern for concurrent monitoring of all frequency layers of all frequency ranges.
[0058] 2) UE behavior when measurement interval is configured
[0059] During the UE-level measurement interval, the UE's behavior includes one or more of the following:
[0060] ① For Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-New Radio (E-UTRA-NR) dual connectivity, except for receiving signals for Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements and signals for the random access procedure, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network Primary Cell (E-UTRAN Pcell), Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network cell (E-UTRAN cell) and NR serving cell for E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity;
[0061] ② For Standalone Architecture (SA) (configured with a single carrier or carrier aggregation (CA)), except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR serving cell.
[0062] ③ For NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding PCell, secondary cell (Scell) and E-UTRAN serving cell.
[0063] ④ For NR Dual Connectivity (NR-DC), except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR serving cell for NR-DC.
[0064] During a frequency range (FR) level measurement gap, the UE's behavior may include one or more of the following:
[0065] ① For E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity, except for receiving signals for RRM measurements and signals for random access procedures, there is no need to receive / transmit from / to the corresponding E-UTRAN PCell, E-UTRAN cell and NR serving cell within the corresponding frequency range of E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity.
[0066] ② For SA (configured with single carrier or CA), within the corresponding frequency range, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR serving cell.
[0067] ③ For NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access procedures, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding primary cell (PCell), secondary cell (SCell) and NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity E-UTRAN serving cell.
[0068] ④ For NR-DC, within the corresponding frequency range, except for receiving signals for RRM measurement, PRS measurement and random access process, there is no need to receive / send from / to the corresponding NR serving cell within the corresponding frequency range of NR-DC.
[0069] 3) Derivative or enhancement mechanism based on measurement interval
[0070] Based on the above per-UE measurement gap or per-FR measurement gap configuration and UE behavior, NR further introduces the following derived or enhanced mechanisms:
[0071] ①Measurement gap sharing
[0072] When either intra-frequency measurements or inter-frequency measurements need to occupy the measurement interval or affect the use of the measurement interval (for example, the SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window corresponding to the synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block, SSB)-based measurement completely overlaps with the measurement interval), it is necessary to consider the sharing of the measurement interval between intra-frequency measurements and inter-frequency measurements.
[0073] Specifically, when the following conditions are simultaneously met based on the UE-level measurement interval or the FR-level measurement interval, measurement interval sharing based on the UE-level measurement interval and / or the FR-level measurement interval corresponding to the FR is applied:
[0074] Condition 1: Intra-frequency measurement requires or affects the use of measurement intervals.
[0075] Condition 2: Inter-frequency measurement or radio access measurement (RAT measurement) requires the use of the measurement interval, or inter-frequency measurement does not require the use of the measurement interval but affects the use of the measurement interval;
[0076] Condition 3: The UE is configured to measure frequency layers used for positioning.
[0077] The measurement gap sharing may be controlled by a parameter MeasGapSharingScheme in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message configured by the network device.
[0078] ②Pre-configured measurement gap
[0079] Compared to the basic measurement interval, NR further introduces an activation / deactivation mechanism. Once a pre-configured measurement interval is activated, its operation is exactly the same as the basic measurement interval.
[0080] Regarding the activation / deactivation mechanism, we can further distinguish between the following two mechanisms:
[0081] A. Autonomous activation / deactivation mechanism
[0082] The UE may autonomously change the state of a preconfigured measurement interval from activated to deactivated, or vice versa, based on any one or any combination of the triggering conditions listed in the relevant protocols.
[0083] B. Network-controlled activation / deactivation mechanism
[0084] The UE may determine whether the status of a pre-configured measurement gap is activated or deactivated based on the parameter preConfGapStatus in the RRC message configured by the network device.
[0085] ③Concurrent measurement gaps
[0086] Compared to the basic measurement gap, it is allowed to configure a combination of measurement gaps with collisions of MG occasions for the UE.
[0087] When the UE does not support the configuration of FR-level measurement intervals, the network device can configure up to two UE-level measurement interval patterns (per-UE MG patterns) for the UE; when the UE supports the configuration of FR-level measurement intervals (per-FR MG), the network can configure a combination of MG patterns in the relevant protocol for the UE.
[0088] For information on determining measurement interval conflicts, refer to the relevant protocols. When a conflict is detected, the priority configured for the measurement interval is used: the measurement interval with the higher priority is applied (valid), and the measurement interval with the lower priority is discarded (invalid). It is required that any two measurement intervals that are determined to conflict have corresponding priorities and are different.
[0089] 4) Other interval mechanisms (independent of measurement intervals)
[0090] In NR, the following interval mechanism is further introduced:
[0091] 1. Network controlled small gap (NCSG)
[0092] When NCSG is configured, other measurement intervals cannot be configured at the same time.
[0093] The schematic diagram of the NCSG parameters is shown in Figure 1b.
[0094] In Figure 1b:
[0095] VIL1 is the visible interruption length (VIL) before ML, and VIL2 is the visible interruption length after ML. During VIL1 and VIL2, the UE is not expected to transmit and receive any data.
[0096] ML stands for measurement length. During ML, whether the terminal is expected to send and receive data on the corresponding service operator depends on the scheduling restriction requirements.
[0097] VIRP stands for Visible Interruption Repetition Period.
[0098] The NCSG Configurations table is different from the measurement interval configuration table.
[0099] ②Multi universal Subscriber Identity Module (MUSIM) interval
[0100] The MUSIM Gap is used for MUSIM operations, such as cell identification and measurement, paging monitoring, representative System Information Block (SIB) acquisition, and / or on-demand representative information system request (SI) for the target cell in the target network.
[0101] ③UL gap for Tx power management
[0102] The UL gap is used for transmit power measurement in NR FR2 and has limitations for some uplink transmissions in the following scenarios:
[0103] In the FR2 single carrier (Component Carrier, CC) scenario, the FR2 intra-band carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA) scenario, and the FR2 inter-band CA scenario where the terminal does not support tx-Support-UL-GapFR2-r17, when the UL gap of the NR service unit overlaps with the uplink transmission, the terminal does not need to perform transmission in the UL gap of the NR service unit beyond the corresponding protocol specifications.
[0104] Restrictions on scheduling availability
[0105] Taking into account the RRM operation on the UE side, in addition to the data transmission and reception restrictions on the UE side of the aforementioned interval mechanism, relevant provisions on scheduling availability restrictions are introduced in the time period (or symbol subset therein) when the UE (may) perform RRM operations.
[0106] It should be noted that the situations listed below focus on scheduling restrictions when the UE is not in a measurement interval (some situations marked with NCSG are scheduling restrictions for the UE during the ML period of NCSG, and the UE is not allowed to configure other measurement intervals at the same time).
[0107] Specifically, the considerations for introducing scheduling availability restrictions during the period when the UE (may) perform RRM operations generally include:
[0108] Factor 1: Switching between uplink and downlink transmission directions
[0109] At this time, only uplink transmission is affected: the UE does not expect to transmit the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) / Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) / uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).
[0110] Cases involved:
[0111] Case I: UE performs measurements in the Time Division Duplexing (TDD) band (on FR1 (see Note 11 below))
[0112] Case 1: Intra-frequency measurement based on NR SSB without MG (or with NCSG);
[0113] Scheduling restrictions apply to the following symbols: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) measurement symbols (applicable only to SS-RSRQ (Synchronization Signal Reference Signal Received Quality) measurements), and some data symbols before and after the aforementioned symbols.
[0114] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 12 and 13 below.
[0115] Case 2: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) inter-frequency measurement;
[0116] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration, RSSI measurement symbols (only applicable to SS-RSRQ measurement), and some data symbols before / after the aforementioned symbols;
[0117] Extension to other service areas: See Notes 12 and 13 below (applicable only to NCSG cases).
[0118] Case 3: Cross Link Interference (CLI) (Sounding Reference Signal Received Power (SRS-RSRP) / Cross Link Interference-Received Signal Strength Indicator (CLI-RSSI)) measurement on FR1 / FR2 (MG is not always required);
[0119] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols used to perform CLI measurements and some pre-data symbols before these symbols;
[0120] Extension to other service areas: See Note 12 below.
[0121] Case 4: Intra-frequency measurement based on NR CSI-RS (MG is not always required);
[0122] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: configured CSI-RS resource symbols and some data symbols before / after these symbols;
[0123] Extension to other service areas: See Note 12 below.
[0124] Note 11: Applicable to Cases 3 and 4, not limited to FR1.
[0125] Note 12: Scheduling restrictions apply to other serving cells in the same frequency band (it is understood that Note 12 also applies to the above-mentioned Case 1 / Case 2 / Case 3 / Case 4).
[0126] Specifically, when performing TDD intra-band carrier aggregation, the scheduling restrictions generated by a given serving cell should also apply to all other serving cells on the same frequency band that fully or partially overlap with the symbols involved in the above scheduling restrictions.
[0127] Note 13: When, for a certain other frequency band, the UE does not support simultaneous RxTx InterBand CA (simultaneous transmission and reception between frequency bands) for the frequency band pair formed by the current frequency band and the other frequency band, the scheduling restriction applies to the serving cell in this other frequency band.
[0128] Specifically, when performing TDD inter-band carrier aggregation, if the UE does not have the capability to support simultaneous RxTxInterBandCA for the band pair, then the scheduling restrictions of a given serving cell should also apply to another serving cell in a different band that fully or partially overlaps with the above-mentioned restricted symbols. That is, in TDD inter-band carrier aggregation, if a serving cell has scheduling restrictions, then these restrictions should also apply to the symbols of another serving cell in a different band that partially or fully overlaps with it.
[0129] Factor 2: Switching between different downlink subcarrier spacings (DL SCS) on FR1
[0130] This affects both uplink transmission and downlink reception: the UE does not wish to transmit the PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, or does not wish to receive the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) / Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) / Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) / Channel-State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) for tracking / CSI-RS used for Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). The TRS and CSI-RS for tracking options are only effective in the following situations:
[0131] Cases covered: For UEs that do not support simultaneousRxDataSSB-DiffNumerology (for intra-frequency measurements (including cases where there is no MG or NCSG is used), L1-RSRP measurements (including cases where reporting or candidate beam detection occurs), LI-SINR measurements, radio link monitoring, beam failure detection) or simultaneousRxDataSSB-DiffNumerology-Inter-r16 (for inter-frequency measurements), and SSB-based operation:
[0132] Case I: UE performs measurements on FR1 using a different subcarrier spacing than PDSCH / PDCCH (not applicable for CSI-RS)
[0133] Case 1: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) intra-frequency measurement
[0134] The symbols involved in the scheduling restrictions are: if deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is enabled, the SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after the SSB symbols are involved; if deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is not enabled, all symbols within the SMTC window duration are involved;
[0135] Extension to other serving cells: See Note 21 below.
[0136] Case 2: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) inter-frequency measurement
[0137] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after the SS symbols;
[0138] Extension to other serving cells: See Note 21 below.
[0139] Case 3: NR SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement for reporting (or candidate beam detection) (MG is not always required)
[0140] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: symbols corresponding to the SSB index used for L1-RSRP measurement;
[0141] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.
[0142] Case 4: L1 SINR measurement based on NR SSB (MG is not always required)
[0143] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols to be measured for L1-SINR measurement;
[0144] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.
[0145] Case II: UE performs radio link monitoring using a subcarrier spacing different from that of PDSCH / PDCCH on FR1. Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols used for radio link monitoring;
[0146] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.
[0147] Case III: UE uses a different subcarrier spacing than PDSCH / PDCCH for beam failure detection in FR1
[0148] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols used for beam failure detection;
[0149] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 21 and 22 below.
[0150] Note 21: Scheduling restrictions apply to other serving cells in the same frequency band (it is understood that Note 21 applies to all the above cases at the same time).
[0151] Specifically, when intra-band carrier aggregation is performed, scheduling restrictions due to a given serving cell should also apply to all other serving cells in the same frequency band on symbols that fully or partially overlap with the above restricted symbols.
[0152] Note 22: Scheduling restrictions do not apply to serving cells in other frequency bands.
[0153] Specifically, when inter-band carrier aggregation is configured within FR1, except for the frequency band where the serving cell with scheduling restriction is located, the FR1 serving cells configured in other frequency bands are not subject to scheduling restriction.
[0154] Factor 3: Switching between different analog beams in FR2 (Beam management)
[0155] This affects both uplink transmission and downlink reception: the UE does not expect to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, or does not expect to receive PDCCH / PDSCH / TRS / CSI-RS for tracking / CSI-RS for Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). The TRS and CSI-RS for tracking options are only effective in the following situations:
[0156] Cases involved:
[0157] Case I: UE performs measurements on FR2
[0158] Case 1: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) intra-frequency measurement
[0159] Scheduling restrictions involve symbols: If deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is enabled, it involves SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after the SSB symbols; If deriveSSB_IndexFromCell is not enabled, it involves all symbols within the SMTC window duration;
[0160] Extension to other serving cells: See Notes 31, 32, 33 and 34 below.
[0161] Case 2: NR based on SSB without MG (or using NCSG) inter-frequency measurement
[0162] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: SSB symbols within the SMTC window duration and some data symbols before / after the SSB symbols;
[0163] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31" and "Note 35 (applicable only to NCSG)" below.
[0164] Case 3: L1-RSRP measurement report (or candidate beam detection) based on NR CSI-RS / SSB (MG is not always required)
[0165] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: symbols corresponding to SSB indices or periodic / semi-persistent / aperiodic CSI-RS resources configured for L1-RSRP measurement, as well as some data symbols before / after these symbols (for FR2-2 and 480 / 960kHz SCS reference symbols, and for High-Speed Train (HST) scenarios).
[0166] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31", "Note 32" and "Note 33" below.
[0167] Case 4: L1-SINR measurement based on NR CSI-RS / SSB (MG is not always required)
[0168] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: symbols for which L1-SINR needs to be measured, and some data symbols before and after these symbols (applicable only to FR2 power level 6 UEs configured with highSpeedMeasFlagFR2-r17);
[0169] Extension to other service areas: See Note 31 below.
[0170] Case 5: Intra-frequency measurement based on NR CSI-RS (MG is not always required)
[0171] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: CSI-RS symbols configured in the configured time slot for the CSI-RS resources used for measurement;
[0172] Extension to other service areas: See "Note 31" and "Note 32" below.
[0173] Case II: UE monitors the radio link in FR2
[0174] Symbols affected by scheduling restrictions: Radio Link Monitoring Reference Signal (RLM-RS) symbols for radio link monitoring measurements, and some data symbols before / after the RLM-RS symbols (applicable only to R2-2 and RLM-RS using 480 / 960kHz SCS);
[0175] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31", "Note 32" and "Note 33" below.
[0176] Case III: UE performs beam failure detection on FR2
[0177] Symbols involved in scheduling restrictions: reference symbols used for candidate beam detection, and data symbols before and after these symbols (for FR2-2 and RLM-RS using 480 / 960kHz SCS);
[0178] Extension to other service cells: See "Note 31", "Note 32" and "Note 33" below.
[0179] Note 31: Scheduling restrictions apply to other serving cells in the same frequency band (it is understood that Note 31 applies to all the above cases at the same time).
[0180] Specifically, when performing intra-band carrier aggregation in FR2, the scheduling restrictions caused by a given serving cell should also apply to all other serving cells in the same frequency band that fully or partially overlap with the above restricted symbols.
[0181] Note 32: Scheduling restrictions do not apply to serving cells in other frequency bands.
[0182] Specifically, when performing inter-band carrier aggregation of FR2, if the UE can perform independent beam management on the FR2 band pair, then since there are scheduling restrictions on FR2 serving cells in different frequency bands, there are no scheduling restrictions on FR2 serving cells in each frequency band.
[0183] NOTE 33: Scheduling restrictions do not apply to the inter-band case where the SSB of one FR2 band is different from the SCS of the data of another FR2 band, assuming that IBM (Independent Beam Management) operation is supported for the band pair consisting of these two FR2 bands.
[0184] Specifically, if the terminal is configured with different numerologies between SSB on one FR2 band and data on another FR2 band, there is no scheduling restriction, provided that the terminal is configured for Independent Beam Management (IBM) for the band pair.
[0185] NOTE 34: When the UE does not support simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA, scheduling restrictions apply to the serving cell in this other frequency band.
[0186] Specifically, when inter-band carrier aggregation is performed in FR2, if the UE does not support the FR2 simultaneous RxTx InterBand CA, then on symbols that completely or partially overlap with the above restricted symbols.
[0187] NOTE 35: For inter-band situations, the applicability of scheduling restrictions for various combinations of IBM capability and simultaneous transmit / receive capability.
[0188] Specifically, the following situations A / B / C / D can be distinguished and regulated separately:
[0189] Case A: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the serving cell frequency band, the UE supports neither IBM nor simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA;
[0190] Case B: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the serving cell frequency band, the UE does not support IBM but supports simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA;
[0191] Case C: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the serving cell frequency band, the UE supports IBM but does not support simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA;
[0192] Case D: For the frequency band pair consisting of the target measurement frequency band and the frequency band where the serving cell is located, the UE supports both IBM and simultaneousRxTxInterBandCA: In this case, there is no scheduling restriction for the serving cell.
[0193] Factor 4: Different downlink frequency division multiplexed (FDMed) measurements and receiving UE capabilities.
[0194] This only affects downlink reception: the UE does not expect to receive PDCCH / PDSCH / TRS / CSI-RS for tracking / CSI-RS used for channel quality indication (CQI).
[0195] Cases involved:
[0196] Case I: UE performs CLI measurement and DL reception in Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) mode
[0197] Case 1: CLI (SRS-RSRP / CLI-rssi) measurement on FR1 / FR2 (MG is not always required)
[0198] Scheduling restrictions apply to the following symbols: OFDM symbols used for SRS-RSRP measurement, OFDM symbols used for SRS-RSRP measurement, and some data symbols preceding these symbols; OFDM symbols used for CLI-RSSI measurement, OFDM symbols used for performing CLI-RSSI measurement, and some data symbols preceding these symbols.
[0199] Extension to other serving areas: See Note 41 below.
[0200] Note 41: Scheduling restrictions apply to other serving cells in the same frequency band (it is understood that Note 41 applies to all the above cases at the same time).
[0201] Specifically, when TDD intra-band carrier aggregation is configured, the scheduling restriction on the serving cell performing CLI measurement is applicable to all serving cells in the same frequency band that fully or partially overlap with the restricted symbols.
[0202] NR introduces various gap mechanisms to support RRM measurements, positioning, Cell Global Identifier (CGI) reporting, Multi-User Shared-Interference Management (MUSIM) operations, and transmit power management. Furthermore, to ensure the performance of RRM measurements, RLM, BFD, and other functions, numerous scheduling availability / restrictions have been introduced. To rationally relax the transmission and reception restrictions imposed by the gap mechanisms and the scheduling restrictions corresponding to the scheduling availability / restrictions, transmitting and receiving service-related control / data channels within RRM-related gaps / restrictions can improve system throughput or reduce transmission latency. However, RRM measurements and other functions are strongly dependent on terminal implementation, and terminals must meet the corresponding requirements. Therefore, achieving a compromise or balance between the dual requirements of ensuring RRM performance and ensuring the performance of XR data transmission has become an unresolved issue.
[0203] The following describes in detail the information reporting and receiving methods provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.
[0204] Referring to FIG2 , an embodiment of the present application provides an information reporting method, the execution subject of the method is a terminal, and the method includes:
[0205] Step 201: The terminal sends first information to the network side device;
[0206] The first information is used to indicate relevant information of a first time resource related to a first operation in the time resource used for RRM, and the first operation includes a non-RRM operation.
[0207] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal sends relevant information indicating the first time resource related to non-RRM operations in the time resources used for RRM to the network side device, so as to assist the network side in making a decision on the release of the time resources used for RRM, reasonably relax the sending and receiving restrictions brought by the Gap mechanism, and help improve the effectiveness and capacity of the system.
[0208] It is understandable that, considering that RRM measurement and the like are strongly related to terminal implementation, it is more reasonable for the terminal to send the first information to the network side device to indicate relevant information of the first time resource related to the non-RRM operation.
[0209] It should be noted that the above-mentioned time resources for RRM refer to time resources for RRM pre-configured by the network side or pre-defined by the protocol, such as MG gap time (occasion)(s) or restriction occasion(s) corresponding to RRM measurement.
[0210] The above MG / restriction occasion can be:
[0211] (1) Gap occasion, which can be understood as a (single) Gap occasion corresponding to a certain Gap mechanism in NR after configuration / activation. For the NCSG mechanism, the Gap occasion here can be a Window consisting of VIL1, ML and VIL2, or only contains the time portion corresponding to at least one of VIL1, VIL2 and ML. Or
[0212] (2) The time that overlaps with the gap or has a scheduling restriction can be a symbol / time slot / symbol set or time slot set / time period / time sub-segment / duration corresponding to uplink and downlink transmission / extended duration, etc. For example, for the NCSG mechanism, the occasion here can be ML.
[0213] If the time resources for RRM are used to perform the first operation, the corresponding resources may be referred to as skipped or canceled RRM time resources.
[0214] Considering that the terminal may be pre-configured or pre-defined with multiple sets of time resources for RRM, the above method steps may be used to indicate only one or more sets of resources. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned time resources for RRM include at least one of the following:
[0215] (1) Time resources corresponding to the first RRM configuration;
[0216] For each set of RRM time resources, the time resources may be divided according to different RRM configurations (for example, different configurations correspond to respective IDs, such as measGapId). The first RRM configuration refers to one or more RRM configurations that are pre-configured on all terminals or are specific to the pre-defined RRM configurations. For the time resources corresponding to these specific RRM configurations, relevant information of the first time resources is indicated (for example, corresponding information is indicated for each measurement configuration).
[0217] (2) time resources corresponding to the first RRM configuration type;
[0218] Similarly, each set of RRM time resources is divided by different RRM configuration types, and the relevant information of the first time resource is indicated for the time resources corresponding to these specific RM configuration types (such as intra-frequency RRM measurement, inter-frequency RRM measurement, SSB-based measurement, CSI-RS-based measurement, CLI measurement, etc.);
[0219] (3) time resources corresponding to the first scheduling restriction type;
[0220] Similarly, each set of RRM time resources is divided by different scheduling restriction types, and the relevant information of the first time resource is indicated for the time resources corresponding to these specific scheduling restriction types, such as scheduling restrictions caused by the inability of UL to receive different SCSs, or because the UE does not perform uplink transmission and downlink reception at the same time, or due to beam management;
[0221] (4) time resources corresponding to the first scheduling restriction scenario;
[0222] Similarly, each set of RRM time resources is divided according to different scheduling restriction scenarios, and the relevant information of the first time resources corresponding to these specific scheduling restriction scenarios is indicated, such as scheduling restrictions related to the measurement process, scheduling restrictions related to the radio link detection process, and scheduling restrictions related to the link recovery process.
[0223] (5) time resources corresponding to all time resource configurations that allow execution of the first operation;
[0224] Similarly, each set of RRM time resources is divided according to whether the first operation is allowed to be performed, and the relevant information of the first time resources is indicated for these time resources that are allowed to perform the first operation; all the permissions here should be understood as protocol permissions. Another case is the gap / restriction configuration configured by the base station to allow the execution of the first operation or the UE reporting permission for the first operation, where the base station configuration or UE reporting can be a subset of the protocol permission;
[0225] (6) Time resources corresponding to a first RRM configuration group, wherein the first RRM configuration group includes at least one RRM-related configuration.
[0226] Similarly, each set of RRM time resources is divided by different RRM configuration groups, and the relevant information of the first time resources is indicated for the time resources corresponding to these specific RRM configuration groups. For example, the base station configures one or more lists (lists), each list includes at least one measurement gap configuration or scheduling restriction, and for each list, the first operation related information is indicated respectively;
[0227] In an optional implementation, the first information includes at least one of the following:
[0228] (1) first indication information, used to indicate a maximum number of first time resources allowed to perform a first operation within a first time period;
[0229] Indicates the maximum number of MG / restriction occasions in which the first operation can be performed within a time period; wherein the time period can be predefined, or directly or implicitly determined according to base station configuration, or reported by the terminal, and the time period can be a fixed time window (for example, X system frames, or corresponding one or more measurement periods, or the maximum value or least common multiple of the periods of multiple MG / restriction configurations (for example, multiple occasions correspond to different MGs / restrictions, or correspond to different measurement quantities, or correspond to multiple measurement periods)) or a sliding time window (for example, any 100ms, 200ms, 500ms, etc.);
[0230] (2) second indication information, used to indicate a maximum proportion of the first time resources allowed to perform the first operation to the time resources used for RRM within the second time period;
[0231] Indicates the maximum ratio of MG / restriction occasions in which the first operation can be performed within a time period to the MG / restriction occasions used for RRM, where the second time period may be the same as or different from the first time period;
[0232] (3) third indication information, used to indicate a first time resource allowing execution of the first operation;
[0233] Indicates which MG / restriction occasions allow the first operation to be performed;
[0234] For example, the UE may indicate in a bitmap manner, where the number of bits in the bitmap may be predefined, or directly or implicitly determined according to the base station configuration (for example, the number of MGs / restriction occasions included in a period of time determined according to configuration information), or reported by the terminal; wherein each bit in the bitmap may correspond to one MG / restriction occasion, or to a number of MGs / restriction occasions predefined / predefined rules / UE-indicated.
[0235] (a) Each bitmap corresponds to a MG configuration, or corresponds to a type of MG (e.g., per UE MG, per FR MG, NCSG, MU-SIM gap, or gap for tx power), or a restriction configuration, a restriction type, or a scheduling restriction for a purpose or application scenario, or each bitmap corresponds to all MGs / restrictions for which the current UE can perform the first operation, or each bitmap corresponds to a group of MG configurations / restrictions. The MG configurations included in the group of MG configurations / restrictions may be base station configured or predefined, for example, restrictions corresponding to the same purpose / application scenario, such as all restrictions related to the RRM measurement process, all restrictions involved in Radio Link Monitoring, and all restrictions involved in Link Recovery procedures. When reporting, the UE may report only one bitmap or multiple bitmaps corresponding to the above-mentioned different MG configurations, different MG types, different restrictions, or different restriction types.(b) The starting position of the MG / restriction occasion(s) corresponding to the bitmap (e.g., the MG / restriction occasion(s) corresponding to the first bit of the bitmap) may be the first MG / restriction occasion(s) in a fixed time window (e.g., corresponding to X system frames, or one measurement period) or a sliding time window (e.g., any 100 ms), and the remaining bits correspond to subsequent MG / restriction occasions in the time window. Alternatively, the starting position of the MG / restriction occasion(s) corresponding to the bitmap may be the first MG / restriction occasion(s) after a predefined time interval (assuming T1) after the end of the transmission of the channel transmitting the indication information, or the first MG / restriction occasion(s) after a time offset 1 (+delta1) from the Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ)-ACK feedback moment for the (downlink) transport block (TB) containing the acknowledgment (ACK) corresponding to the Radio Link Control (RLC) Service Data Unit (SDU) carrying the information. occasion is assumed to be T2) (optionally, the start position of the occasion(s) cannot be earlier than or the end position cannot be earlier than T1 / T2), delta is predefined or configured by the base station or reported by the UE;
[0236] Optionally, the bits in the Bitmap can cover / map all MG / restriction occasions within the time window;
[0237] (c) Each bit in the bitmap may correspond to one MG / restriction occasion or multiple consecutive MG / restriction occasions (this may be specified by the protocol, configured by the base station, indicated by the UE, or determined according to configuration information. For example, if the bitmap is 5 bits and is used to report all MG / restriction occasions within a measurement period such as 200 ms or 400 ms, the number of MG / restriction occasions corresponding to each bit may be determined according to the total number N of MG / restriction occasions in the reporting period and the bit length M of the bitmap. The first M-mod(N,M) bits correspond to floor(N / M) MG / restriction occasions, and the second mod(N,M) bits correspond to floor(N / M)+1 MG / restriction occasions);
[0238] (4) fourth indication information, used to indicate the maximum number of first time resources allowed to continuously perform the first operation; for example, after skipping X consecutive MG / restriction occasions, the next MG / restriction occasions are not skipped so that the UE can perform RRM measurement-related operations;
[0239] (5) Fifth indication information, used to indicate the minimum interval between adjacent time resources in the first time resource that is allowed to perform the first operation; for example, assuming that the first MG / restriction occasion is skipped, another MG / restriction occasion can be skipped only after a certain number of MG / restriction occasions. This method can prevent the terminal from being unable to perform RRM measurements properly due to the terminal skipping multiple MG / restriction occasions in succession;
[0240] (6) Sixth indication information, used to indicate the maximum interval between adjacent time resources in the first time resource where the first operation is not permitted. It is understood that the terminal can use the first time resource where the first operation is not permitted to be performed to perform RRM measurement-related operations. The terminal indicates the sixth information to the base station, hoping that the interval between MG / restriction occasions where the base station does not indicate a skip is not too large, so that the UE can perform RRM measurements and meet corresponding measurement requirements (such as measurement accuracy).
[0241] The granularity of the interval may be MG / restriction occasions, subslot / slot / symbol / ms / measurement period, etc.
[0242] (7) seventh indication information, used to indicate a minimum interval between adjacent time resources in the first time resources for which the first operation is not allowed to be performed;
[0243] (8) Eighth indication information is used to indicate the minimum number of first time resources that are not allowed to perform the first operation continuously within the third time period. For example, when the base station instructs the UE to skip a MG / restriction occasion, the number of MG / restriction occasions not to be skipped must be X consecutive.
[0244] Optionally, the eighth indication information may be used together with the fourth indication information, for example, to indicate that 5 gaps are skipped continuously and then 2 consecutive gaps are reserved for RRM measurement.
[0245] It should be noted that the above interval can be an absolute time, such as xms or a time slot / symbol / subframe, etc., or can be the number of MG / restriction occasions in the interval or the period of the corresponding MG / restriction (e.g., one or more periods). The interval can be from the start or end position of the previous MG / restriction occasion to the start or end position of the next MG / restriction occasion.
[0246] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:
[0247] The terminal sends a status of the terminal corresponding to the first information to the network side device;
[0248] The terminal status includes at least one of the following:
[0249] (1) Channel quality of the terminal corresponding to the first cell (e.g., RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, CSI, etc.);
[0250] (2) Path loss of the terminal corresponding to the first cell, for example, the path loss between the UE and the base station of the first cell;
[0251] (3) The terminal's mobility status (e.g., high / medium / low state);
[0252] (4) The terminal's moving speed;
[0253] Among them, the first cell includes at least one of a primary cell (PCell), a primary secondary cell (PSCell), a special cell (SpCell), a secondary cell (SCell), a serving cell (Serving cell), and an RRM-associated serving cell corresponding to the time resources used for RRM (for example, for a certain RRM measurement, the cell involved in the scheduling restriction).
[0254] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal further sends a terminal status corresponding to the first information to the network-side device to assist the network-side device in deciding which time resources to use for performing the first operation. It is understandable that the terminal may send the terminal status to the network-side device before sending the first information, or the terminal may send the terminal status to the network-side device after sending the first information, or the terminal may send the first information and the terminal status to the network-side device simultaneously.
[0255] Optionally, the terminal sends satisfyable RRM requirements to the network side device while sending the first information to the network side device.
[0256] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:
[0257] The terminal sends at least one of the following corresponding to the first information to the network side device:
[0258] The period corresponding to the first time resource;
[0259] The type of resources corresponding to the first time;
[0260] The measurement requirements corresponding to the first time resource. For example, RRM measurement accuracy / error upper limit, delay in obtaining measurement results, etc. Optionally, the terminal can report multiple sets of information (including corresponding (different) RRM requirements);
[0261] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal also sends a period, type, and / or measurement requirement of a first time resource corresponding to the first information to the network side device to assist the network side device in deciding which time resources are used to perform the first operation. It is understandable that the terminal may send the period, type, and / or measurement requirement of the first time resource to the network side device before sending the first information, or the terminal may send the period, type, and / or measurement requirement of the first time resource to the network side device after sending the first information, or the terminal may send the first information and the period, type, and / or measurement requirement of the first time resource to the network side device simultaneously.
[0262] In an optional implementation manner, the indication granularity of the first information is any one of the following:
[0263] (1) A granularity indication of the configuration corresponding to the first time resource;
[0264] The granularity indicated by the first information is each MG / restriction occasion;
[0265] (2) Granular indication of the configuration type corresponding to the first time resource;
[0266] The granularity indicated by the first information is for each type of MG configuration (e.g., per UE MG / per FR MG / NCSG / MU-SIM gap / gap for tx power, etc.);
[0267] (3) a granular indication of the priority level of the configuration corresponding to the first time resource;
[0268] For example, if multiple MGs are configured, each MG can be configured with a priority value to indicate the priority of the MG. In case of conflict, the priority is used to determine which MG to perform the relevant operation. Here, the MGs with the same priority value can be indicated together.
[0269] (4) indicating the granularity of the scheduling constraint corresponding to the first time resource;
[0270] The granularity indicated by the first information is an indication of the granularity of each scheduling constraint;
[0271] (5) Granular indication of the scheduling restriction type corresponding to the first time resource;
[0272] The granularity indicated by the first information is for each type of scheduling restriction;
[0273] (6) Granular indication of the scheduling constraint scenario corresponding to the first time resource;
[0274] The granularity of the first information indication is the scheduling restriction for each purpose / application scenario;
[0275] (7) indicating the granularity of the configuration corresponding to all first time resources that are allowed to perform the first operation;
[0276] The granularity indicated by the first information is all MGs / restrictions that the current UE is allowed to perform the first operation; all allowed here should be understood as permitted by the protocol; another case is the gap / restriction configuration configured by the base station that allows the execution of the first operation or the UE reports that allows the first operation, which can be a subset allowed by the protocol.
[0277] (8) Indication of the granularity of the configuration groups corresponding to the first time resource, where one configuration group includes at least one RRM-related configuration or scheduling constraint.
[0278] The granularity of the first information indication is each group of MG configuration / restriction. The MG configuration contained in the group of MG configuration / restriction can be a base station configuration or predefined, for example, restrictions corresponding to the same purpose / application scenario, such as all restrictions related to the RRM measurement process are grouped together, all restrictions involved in Radio Link Monitoring are grouped together, and all restrictions involved in Link Recovery procedures are grouped together.
[0279] In an optional implementation, the terminal sends the first information to the network-side device, including:
[0280] The terminal sends the first information to the network side device according to the first period; that is, the first information is reported periodically;
[0281] or,
[0282] The terminal sends the first information to the network side device based on the first event trigger. That is, the first information event triggers the reporting. The first event is predefined by the protocol, for example, it can be a change in the UE's mobility state or a change in the channel state that meets a certain threshold, or a difference in the channel quality between the serving cell and the target measurement frequency band that meets a certain threshold, etc.
[0283] or,
[0284] The terminal sends the first information to the network side device based on the implementation; that is, the first information is reported based on the UE. In this method, the UE determines that the demand for time resources for RRM measurement has changed based on its own status or channel conditions, and the UE can report the changed information to the base station;
[0285] or,
[0286] The terminal sends the first information to the network side device based on the trigger signaling of the network side device;
[0287] Optionally, the first information may be reported to the network side device via UE capability information, RRC information, Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC CE), or L1 uplink control information (UCI).
[0288] Optionally, in one manner, the above indication information is applied only to the occasion indicated by the indication information, and in another manner, the above indication information is valid until the next reporting (for example, if the UE indicates information within a period of time T2, it means that the information can be applied to each T2 time; if the UE indicates M occasions, it means that the information can be applied to each M occasion).
[0289] For example, the UE can report to the base station as shown in Table 1, where columns A, B, G, and H are optional. The UE can report at least one of C, D, E, and F.
[0290] Table 1
[0291] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:
[0292] The terminal receives second information from the network side device;
[0293] The second information is used to indicate a first time range, where the first time range is a time range within the time resource used for RRM in which the terminal is allowed to perform the first operation. In other words, the network-side device indicates a first time range within the time resource used for RRM through the second information, where the first time range is a time range within which the network-side device instructs the terminal to perform the first operation.
[0294] Based on the information reported by the terminal, the network side instructs / configures the terminal to perform the first operation on which MG / restriction occasions. It should be noted that the network side indication may specifically be a time range, that is, it may not be the entire MG / restriction occasion. For example, for one MG / restriction occasion, the network may indicate that a portion of it is allowed to perform the first operation. For another example, for multiple MG / restriction occasions, the network may indicate that a portion of each MG / restriction occasion is allowed to perform the first operation. For example, when the base station schedules uplink transmission such as PUSCH / PUCCH or downlink transmission such as PDSCH / CSI-RS to be transmitted during a time period overlapping with the MG / restriction occasion, it means that the UE performs the first operation during the time period corresponding to the uplink transmission or downlink transmission scheduled by the base station. The uplink transmission or downlink transmission may occupy part or all of the time of the overlapping MG / restriction occasion.
[0295] For example, in some embodiments, there are a total of 5 MG / restriction occasions pre-configured for RRM, and the time length of each MG / restriction occasion is 5 ms. The network side indicates a first time range in these time resources for RRM, specifically indicating that a portion of the time in each MG / restriction occasion is the time range for allowing the first operation to be performed, for example, 3 ms. Then a total of 5 time ranges with a time length of 3 ms will be indicated, and the sum of these 5 time ranges is the above-mentioned first time range.
[0296] The terminal expects that the MGs / restriction occasions indicated by the base station for performing the first operation meet the requirements contained in the information reported by the terminal. For example, if the UE reports the maximum number of MGs / restriction occasions that can perform the first operation within a period of time, the number of MGs / restriction occasions indicated by the base station for performing the first operation should not be greater than this number; if the terminal reports the maximum interval between MGs / restriction occasions where the first operation cannot be performed, the base station should ensure that the MGs / restriction occasions where the first operation is not performed meet the maximum interval requirement reported by the UE when configuring or instructing the UE on which MGs / restriction occasions to perform the first operation. Otherwise, the UE may not meet the corresponding RRM measurement requirement, or the UE prioritizes meeting the RRM measurement requirement. When the UE determines that complying with the configuration / instruction of the base station will result in the RRM measurement requirement not being met, the UE does not comply with / ignores the configuration / instruction of the base station (optionally, the UE reports the non-compliance / ignorance or reports whether the RRM requirement or the corresponding RRM requirement is met).
[0297] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:
[0298] The terminal counts the second time range into the time resources for performing the first operation, and performs the first operation in the second time range;
[0299] or,
[0300] If the second time range satisfies the first condition, the terminal counts the second time range into the time resources for performing the first operation, and performs the first operation in the second time range;
[0301] The second time range belongs to the first time range, the second time range is a time range in which the network side device instructs the terminal to perform the first operation in the second time resource, and the second time resource belongs to the time resource used for RRM;
[0302] In an embodiment of the present application, for a second time resource (e.g., a MG / restriction occasion), if the network-side device indicates that a portion of the second time resource is allowed to perform the first operation (i.e., indicates a second time range in the second time resource), the terminal handles the situation as follows: In one embodiment, for a partially canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion, the UE side also counts it as a canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion. For example, if the maximum number of canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasions reported by the UE to the base station within 500ms does not exceed 40%, then the partially canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasions are also counted. In another embodiment, when a partially canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion meets certain conditions, it is not counted in the canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion; otherwise, it is counted.
[0303] For example, in some embodiments, for a pre-configured time resource for RRM, such as an MG / restriction occasion (corresponding to the above-mentioned second time resource), the time length of the MG / restriction occasion is 5ms, and the network side indicates a second time range in the time resource for RRM, specifically indicating that a portion of the time in the MG / restriction occasion is a time range for allowing execution of the first operation, for example, 3ms. Then the indicated 3ms time range is the above-mentioned second time range. Whether this 3ms time range should be included in the time resource for executing the first operation can be specifically determined according to the above-mentioned rules.
[0304] Optionally, the first condition includes at least one of the following:
[0305] (1) The duration of the second time range is greater than or equal to the first threshold;
[0306] The length of time (symbol / time slot / absolute time, such as ms) of cancellation / skipping is less than or equal to a certain threshold;
[0307] (2) the ratio of the time length of the second time range to the time length of the second time resource is greater than or equal to the second threshold;
[0308] The ratio of the cancelled / skipped time to the entire MG / restriction occasion length is less than or equal to a certain threshold;
[0309] (3) the ratio of the time length of the time resources other than the second time range in the second time resources to the time length of the second time resources is less than or equal to a third threshold;
[0310] The ratio of the length of the continuous time that was not canceled / skipped to the length of the entire MG / restriction occasion is greater than or equal to a certain threshold (if the occasion is canceled / skipped in the middle, the continuous time that was not canceled / skipped at both ends is the maximum);
[0311] The first threshold, the third threshold, and the second threshold may be reported by the UE, or may be related to the gap or the scheduling restriction type, or the gap or restriction time length, or the UE capability.
[0312] (4) The second time resource is of a specific type;
[0313] The MG / restriction satisfies a specific type, such as SMTC; the specific type may be reported by the UE or predefined, such as intra-frequency related RRM measurement, or depend on the UE capability;
[0314] (5) The channel direction of transmission in the second time range is downlink.
[0315] The channel direction of transmission in the canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion is downlink;
[0316] For example, for Scheduling restrictions caused by the terminal's inability to receive downlink and send uplink at the same time, if the base station schedules downlink within the time domain range corresponding to the Scheduling restrictions, it may not be judged as a skip and will not be counted in the canceled / skipped occasion. Optionally, the UE does not transmit the configured uplink transmission within the time domain range corresponding to the Scheduling restrictions. If the base station schedules uplink within the time domain range corresponding to the Scheduling restrictions, it will be judged as a skip. At this time, once the Scheduling restrictions are judged as a skip by the UE, it will be counted in the canceled / skipped occasion. Optionally, the UE can send configured uplink transmissions such as CG PUSCH within the Scheduling restrictions)
[0317] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:
[0318] (1) The terminal determines a target time resource for performing a first operation in the time resources used for RRM;
[0319] The target time resource can be a time resource determined by the terminal in combination with the above-mentioned first information and / or the above-mentioned second information or predefined rules, that is, a time resource that the terminal explicitly wants to execute or allows to execute the first operation or is understood as a time resource that the terminal actually executes the first operation.
[0320] (2) The terminal determines the time domain unit format configuration (eg, slot format) of the target time resource according to the situation where no time resource for RRM is configured, or determines the time domain unit format configuration of the target time resource according to the flexible symbol processing mode.
[0321] When a MG / restriction occasion is completely or partially canceled / skipped, for the canceled / skipped time resources, the UE performs uplink and downlink transmission and reception as if no MG / restriction occasion is configured. In one embodiment, for the canceled / skipped time resources, the slot format configuration is determined as if no MG / restriction occasion is configured, that is, the uplink and downlink transmission directions within the time range are determined according to the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, and or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated and or SFI indication. In another way, for the canceled / skipped time resources, the slot format is processed as flexible symbols. The behavior of the UE is consistent with the flexible symbol behavior configured by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, and or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated and or SFI, for example, the base station can schedule both DL reception and uplink transmission.
[0322] In an optional embodiment, the first operation includes at least one of the following:
[0323] (1) performing a first process on a scheduling restriction within a group of symbols where the scheduling restriction exists, the first process comprising at least one of relaxing, disabling, overriding, and ignoring;
[0324] Relax / disable / override / ignore scheduling restrictions during a set of symbols;
[0325] The A set of symbols here can correspond to one or more symbol sets with scheduling restrictions below. For example, for the NCSG mechanism, the Window here can be ML.
[0326] The Relax / disable scheduling restrictions here can be understood as closing / removing the Scheduling restrictions corresponding to the symbol set, so that channels / signals that were not allowed to be sent or received before closing / removal are allowed to be sent or received within this symbol set, or partially closing / removing the Scheduling restrictions corresponding to the symbol set, so that channels / signals that were not allowed to be sent or received before closing / removal are allowed to be sent or received within this symbol set and meet predefined conditions (the predefined conditions can be found in the detailed description below).
[0327] (2) Skipping or disabling gap occasions;
[0328] A gap occasion can be understood as a (single) gap window corresponding to a gap mechanism configured / activated in NR. For the NCSG mechanism, the gap occasion can be a window consisting of VIL1, ML, and VIL2, or it can only include the time portion corresponding to at least one of VIL1, VIL2, and ML.
[0329] The "Skip / disable" option here can be understood as closing / removing the transmission / receiving restrictions within the Gap Occasion (i.e., invalidating the Gap Occasion or treating it as not existing), or closing / removing the transmission / receiving restrictions within the Gap Occasion for the reception / transmission that meets predefined conditions (i.e., invalidating the Gap Occasion or treating it as not existing only for the reception / transmission that meets the predefined conditions).
[0330] (3) performing a second process on the scheduling restriction within a group of symbols for which measurement is configured, the second process comprising at least one of skipping, disabling, overwriting, and ignoring;
[0331] Skip / Disable / override / ignore measurement during a set of symbols / Gap occasion(s);
[0332] The Skip / disable here can be understood as shutting down / removing the measurement that may be required before.
[0333] (4) Adjust the gap pattern parameters;
[0334] Adjusting the Gap pattern parameters includes adjusting (eg, extending / shortening) the Gap period length (eg, the value of the parameter mgrp), the Gap offset (eg, the value of the parameter gapOffset), the Gap length (eg, the value of the parameter mgl), configuration, and the like.
[0335] (5) Receive or send according to the schedule or configuration of the network side device;
[0336] Transmit and receive as usual according to the base station scheduling or configuration (no transmission and reception restrictions);
[0337] (6) Receive or send a first signal or a first channel.
[0338] That is, receiving / sending specific signals / channels.
[0339] The specific signal / signal may be predefined by a protocol or determined by a predefined requirement or configured by a base station.
[0340] For example, LP-WUS, high-priority transmission (such as physical layer (PHY) priority 1, or PRACH\PUCCH, or a search space configured with a cell search signal (CSS) detection, etc.).
[0341] 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for receiving information. The method is performed by a network-side device and includes:
[0342] Step 301: The network side device receives first information from the terminal;
[0343] The first information is used to indicate relevant information of a first time resource related to a first operation in the time resource used for RRM, and the first operation includes a non-RRM operation.

[0384] The network side device sends the first information from the terminal according to the first period;
[0385] or,
[0386] The network-side device receives, from the terminal, first information triggered by the terminal based on a first event;

[0392] The network side device sends second information to the terminal;
[0393] The second information is used to indicate a first time range, where the first time range is a time range in which the terminal is allowed to perform a first operation in the time resources used for RRM.
[0394] In an optional embodiment, the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0400] A first signal or a first channel is received or transmitted.
[0401] The technical solution of this application is described below in conjunction with specific application examples:
[0402] Example 1:
[0403] In the NR system, to support systemic functions (mobility, such as cell handover), MUSIM, Tx power control, and beam management, the radio link monitoring (RLM) base station configures the SSB / CSI-RS resources of the current serving cell and one or more neighboring cells for the UE to perform RRM measurements. Due to limitations in the UE's transceiver capabilities, such as the UE's inability to transmit and receive simultaneously, the inability to simultaneously receive downlink transmissions from different SCSs, and beam capacity, the UE requires a certain gap when performing these measurements. Therefore, the base station configures certain measurement gaps for the UE or defines certain scheduling restrictions. In related art, when a UE is configured with measurement gaps, it must perform measurement sampling within these configured measurement gaps, outputting some results from Layer 1 to Layer 3 for processing and reporting to the base station. Regarding Layer 1 measurement sampling, the protocol does not specify the measurement gaps or gaps within which the UE should perform measurement sampling. Instead, it specifies that the corresponding measurement results must meet certain requirements, such as requiring the UE to report a result with a certain accuracy within a certain timeframe. Therefore, how to perform RRM measurements depends on the UE implementation.
[0404] In order to improve the capacity of XR service transmission or reduce the delay of XR service transmission, some resources originally configured for RRM measurement gap / restriction occasions can be used for XR service transmission and reception.
[0405] Therefore, given the dual demands of RRM measurements and XR service transmission, how can we balance these two requirements? To minimize or minimize the impact on RRM measurements, the UE can report some information to the base station to assist the base station in making decisions. This information may include the gap / restriction occasion requirements for the UE's RRM measurements.
[0406] The UE reports the gap / restriction occasion requirements for RRM measurements. The information may include at least one of the following items to assist the network in making decisions regarding Skipping MG / restriction occasions / Enabling TX / RX in MG / restrictions occasions:
[0407] (1) Indicates the maximum number / ratio of MG / restriction occasions in which the first operation can be performed within a time period
[0408] The time period may be predefined, or directly or implicitly determined according to a base station configuration, or reported by a terminal, and the time period may be a fixed time window (e.g., X system frames) or a sliding time window (e.g., any 100 ms);
[0409] (2) indicating which MG / restriction occasions allow the first operation to be performed;
[0410] (2.1) The indication may be in the form of a bitmap, where the number of bits in the bitmap may be predefined, or determined directly or implicitly according to the base station configuration (e.g., the number of MGs / restriction occasions included in a period of time determined by configuration information), or reported by the terminal;
[0411] (a) Each bitmap corresponds to an MG configuration or a certain type of restriction, or each bitmap is for all MGs / restrictions that can perform the first operation;
[0412] (b) The starting position of the MG / restriction occasion corresponding to the Bitmap may be, for example, X system frames) or the first MG / restriction occasions in a sliding time window (e.g., any 100 ms), and the other bits correspond to subsequent MG / restriction occasions in the time window;
[0413] (c) Optionally, the bits in the Bitmap can cover / map all MGs / restriction occasions within the time window;
[0414] (2.2) indicating the maximum number of first operations that can be performed consecutively and / or the minimum interval at which the first operations can be performed;
[0415] (3) indicating the minimum interval between adjacent MGs / restriction occasions in which the first operation cannot be performed;
[0416] The granularity of the interval can be MG / restriction occasions, Slot / symbol / ms, etc.
[0417] Optionally, the UE status corresponding to the above indication information includes the channel quality (RSRP / RSRQ, SINR, CSI, etc.) between the UE and the PCell / PSCell / SpCell / SCell / Serving cell, path loss, etc., and the UE mobility state (High / Medium / Low State).
[0418] Optionally, the RRM requirements that can be met corresponding to the above Skipping upper limit;
[0419] For example, RRM measurement accuracy / error upper limit, delay in obtaining measurement results, etc.
[0420] Optionally, the terminal may report multiple sets of information (including corresponding (different) RRM requirements).
[0421] Optionally, the above indication information corresponds to the period and / or type of MG / restriction configured for the terminal.
[0422] For example, the UE may report information as shown in Table 2 to the base station, where columns A, B, G, and H are optional. The UE may report at least one item from C, D, E, and F. For example, the information reported by the UE includes {A, D, G} or {B, C} or {A, C}, or {E, G}, etc.;
[0423] Table 2
[0424] The UE may report the above information to the base station through UE capability information, RRC signaling, MAC CE, or L1 signaling. The UE may report the above information periodically or upon base station triggering or event triggering (for example, when mobility and / or channel quality changes or the UE is configured with discontinuous reception (DRX)) or according to the UE implementation decision when to report the above information.
[0425] Optionally, based on information reported by the terminal, the network side instructs / configures the terminal on which MGs / restriction occasions to perform the first operation, where the terminal expects that the MGs / restriction occasions indicated by the base station for performing the first operation meet the information requirements reported by the terminal. For example, if the UE reports the maximum number of MGs / restriction occasions that can perform the first operation within a period of time, the number of MGs / restriction occasions indicated by the base station for performing the first operation should not exceed this number; if the terminal reports the maximum interval between MGs / restriction occasions where the first operation cannot be performed, the base station should ensure that the remaining MGs / restriction occasions that do not perform the first operation meet the maximum interval requirement reported by the UE when configuring or instructing the UE on which MGs / restriction occasions to perform the first operation. Otherwise, the UE may not meet the corresponding RRM measurement requirement.
[0426] Example 2:
[0427] Referring to Figure 4a, taking the example of a UE being configured with five MG occasions within a period of time (400 ms), the UE can cancel a maximum of three MG occasions within 400 ms, and the minimum interval between the MG occasions that are not canceled (or reserved for RRM measurement) is 2. Assuming that the first MG occasion within 400 ms is indicated by the base station for uplink and downlink transmission (or skip / cancel RRM measurement), and the second MG occasion is not indicated for uplink and downlink transmission (or RRM measurement is not skipped / cancelled), then among the remaining three MG occasions, the base station can instruct the UE to perform uplink and downlink transmission in a maximum of two MG occasions, and the MG occasion that the base station does not indicate for uplink and downlink transmission needs to meet a requirement that the interval between the second MG occasion and the MG occasion is greater than or equal to 2.
[0428] Example 3:
[0429] The UE may report the information through terminal capability information (such as the table in the first embodiment), or through UE assistance information reporting (the UE can signal the network through UEAssistanceInformation) or MAC CE or UCI reporting information.
[0430] As shown in Figure 4b, assume that the UE is configured with two measurement gaps, where MG1 has a period of 40ms and MG2 has a period of 80ms. Assume that the MG is a per-UE MG and MG2 is a gap for uplink power control.
[0431] At least one of the following information may be reported for each MG (MG1 or MG2):
[0432] (1) Indicates the maximum number / ratio of MG / restriction occasions in which the first operation can be performed within a time period;
[0433] The time period may be predefined, for example, 10 bits when the period is 40 ms, 5 bits when the period is 80 ms, or 10 bits regardless of the period, or may be directly or implicitly determined according to the base station configuration, or reported by the terminal, and the time period may be a fixed time window (for example, X system frames) or a sliding time window (for example, any 100 ms);
[0434] (2) indicating which MG / restriction occasions allow the first operation to be performed;
[0435] The indication may be in the form of a bitmap, where the number of bits of the bitmap may be predefined, or directly or implicitly determined according to the base station configuration (for example, the number of MG / restriction occasions included in a period of time determined according to configuration information, such as 100ms or 200ms, for example, 100ms includes two occasions for MG1 and one occasion for MG2), or reported by the terminal;
[0436] The starting position of the MG / restriction occasion corresponding to the bitmap may be, for example, X system frames) or the first MG / restriction occasions in a sliding time window (e.g., starting from the time slot or system frame where the end position of the channel transmitting the information is located). The other bits correspond to the subsequent MG / restriction occasions in the time window in sequence.
[0437] (3) indicating the maximum number of first operations that can be performed consecutively and / or the minimum interval at which the first operations can be performed;
[0438] (4) indicating the minimum interval between adjacent MGs / restriction occasions in which the first operation cannot be performed;
[0439] The granularity of the interval can be MG / restriction occasions, Slot / symbol / ms, etc.
[0440] Or the UE reports at least one of the following information for all configured MGs:
[0441] Indicates which MG / restriction occasions allow the first operation to be performed;
[0442] The indication may be in the form of a bitmap, where the number of bits of the bitmap may be predefined, for example, 10 bits are used to indicate whether the first operation can be performed in 10 consecutive gap occasions of MG1 / MG2 starting from a predefined position, or the indication may be directly or implicitly determined according to the configuration of the base station (for example, the number of MG / restriction occasions included in a period of time determined according to configuration information, such as 100 ms or 200 ms), or reported by the terminal;
[0443] The starting position of the MG / restriction occasion corresponding to the Bitmap may be, for example, X system frames) or the first MG / restriction occasion in a sliding time window (for example, any 100ms), and the other bits correspond to subsequent MG / restriction occasions in the time window in sequence;
[0444] Example 4:
[0445] Usually, an MG gap occasion or restriction will last for a period of time (such as a gap length or SMTC window of 5ms). In one method, the base station instructs the UE to receive or send service data during part of the time within the gap, and the UE does not need to send or receive services during the rest of the time (or part of the gap is canceled / skipped). At this time, for the remaining time, the UE can determine whether to perform RRM measurements based on the implementation. In one implementation, for a partially canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion, it is also counted as a canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion for the UE side. For example, if the maximum number of canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasions reported by the UE to the base station within 500ms does not exceed 40%, then the partially canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasions are also counted. In one implementation, when a partially canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion meets certain conditions, it is not counted in the canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion, otherwise it is counted. The certain condition can be at least one of the following:
[0446] (1) The length of time (symbol / time slot / absolute time, such as ms) of the canceled / skipped event is less than or equal to a certain threshold;
[0447] (2) the proportion of the cancelled / skipped time to the entire MG / restriction occasion length is less than or equal to a certain threshold;
[0448] (3) The ratio of the length of the continuous time that was not canceled / skipped to the length of the entire MG / restriction occasion is greater than or equal to a certain threshold (if the occasion is canceled / skipped in the middle, the continuous time that was not canceled / skipped indicates the maximum time at each end);
[0449] (4) The MG / restriction meets a specific type, such as SMTC;
[0450] (5) Channel direction of transmission in the canceled / skipped MG / restriction occasion;
[0451] For example, for Scheduling restrictions caused by the terminal's inability to receive downlink and send uplink at the same time, if the base station schedules the downlink within the time domain range corresponding to the Scheduling restrictions, it may not be judged as a skip and will not be counted in the canceled / skipped occasion. Optionally, the UE does not transmit the configured uplink transmission within the time domain range corresponding to the Scheduling restrictions. If the base station schedules the uplink within the time domain range corresponding to the Scheduling restrictions, it will be judged as a skip. At this time, once the Scheduling restrictions are judged as a skip by the UE, it will be counted in the canceled / skipped occasion. Optionally, the UE can send configured uplink transmissions such as CG PUSCH within the Scheduling restrictions);
[0452] Embodiment 5:
[0453] When a MG / restriction occasion is completely or partially canceled / skipped, for the canceled / skipped time resources, the UE performs uplink and downlink transmission and reception as if no MG / restriction occasion is configured. In one embodiment, for the canceled / skipped time resources, the slot format configuration is determined as if no MG / restriction occasion is configured, that is, it is determined according to the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, and / or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated and / or subframe allocation indicator (Subframe Assignment Indicator, SFI). In another way, for the canceled / skipped time resources, the slot format is processed as a flexible symbol. The behavior of the UE is consistent with the flexible symbol behavior configured by tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon, and / or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated and / or SFI, for example, the base station can schedule both DL reception and uplink transmission.

[0455] Referring to FIG5 , an embodiment of the present application provides an information reporting device, which can be applied to a terminal, including:
[0456] A first sending module 501 is configured for a terminal to send first information to a network-side device;
[0457] The first information is used to indicate relevant information of a first time resource related to a first operation in the time resource used for RRM, and the first operation includes a non-RRM operation.
