Description

Measurement and processing methods, devices, terminals and network equipment

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent No. 202410578179.2, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 10, 2024, entitled "Measurement Processing Method, Apparatus, Terminal and Network Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement processing method, apparatus, terminal and network equipment. Background Technology

[0003] In Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements, the terminal, or User Equipment (UE), can measure signals from co-frequency neighboring cells and adjacent-frequency neighboring cells after powering on. Due to cost control considerations, only one radio module (RF Model) in the terminal performs measurement, transmission, and data transmission / reception. For example, while transmitting and receiving data in the serving cell, the terminal can measure signals from co-frequency neighboring cells; however, when measuring signals from inter-frequency or inter-system cells, data transmission from the serving cell needs to be suspended, the radio module switched to the inter-frequency (or inter-system) for measurement, and communication with the original serving cell is restored after the measurement is completed. Current RRM measurement mechanisms cannot guarantee data transmission from the serving cell when measuring signals from inter-frequency or inter-system cells, resulting in low service transmission efficiency and poor service performance.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0338] The following describes the relevant technologies involved in this disclosure:

[0339] 1. XR services

[0340] Extended Reality (XR) is an important application of 5G media, represented by three forms: Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR). It utilizes computer technology and wearable devices to create a combined real and virtual environment and related human-computer interaction. The degree of virtuality in AR to VR increases from weak to strong, from augmented reality (AR) where sensory input is partially perceived to fully virtual human presence (VR). XR devices present "illusions" based on a person's vision, hearing, or environment.

[0341] Based on research on XR services, XR services exhibit near-periodic transmission characteristics, meaning that the XR service source supports generating corresponding data packets at a certain refresh rate. For example, a refresh rate of 60 frames per second (60 FPS) means that 60 data frames can be generated per second, with a time interval of 16.67 milliseconds between data frames. A refresh rate of 120 frames per second (120 FPS) means that 120 data frames can be generated per second, with a time interval of 8.33 milliseconds between data frames.

[0342] For downlink XR video streams, each XR service source data packet can reach the base station through encoding, network routing, and other processes. During these processes, variations in packet size and network congestion can lead to different degrees of jitter when the source data packet reaches the base station, and this jitter exhibits a degree of randomness. Therefore, downlink XR video streams have quasi-periodic transmission time characteristics. Based on the collection and research of downlink VR and Computer Graphics (CG) video data streams, it can be found that the packet size and jitter of variable-rate video streams follow a truncated Gaussian distribution.

[0343] For uplink XR video streams, source coding introduces some latency jitter after each XR source data packet is generated. For uplink control and attitude data, the differences in source coding are negligible due to the smaller packet size, and the latency jitter reaching the terminal MAC or physical layer is negligible. However, for uplink video stream data packets, the larger variation in packet size results in some latency jitter upon reaching the terminal MAC or physical layer. Unlike downlink XR video streams, the range of latency jitter is smaller.

[0344] 2. RRM measurement gap (GAP) configuration

[0345] The time (length) during which the terminal suspends data transmission in the serving cell and performs inter-frequency (inter-system) cell measurements is called the measurement GAP.

[0346] On the indicated Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) frequency, the UE performs RRM measurements based on the Synchronization Signal (SS) and / or Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) blocks, and RRM measurements based on the Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) only within the SMTC window. The UE does not consider SS and / or PBCH block transmissions in subframes outside the SMTC window.

[0347] In 5G (NR) networks, Radio Resource Control (RRC) is responsible for providing measurement gap mode configuration to the UE. This is accomplished using the Measurement Gap Configuration Information Element (MeasGapConfig IE) within the Measurement Configuration Information Element (MeasConfig IE), and is carried by the RRC reconfiguration message. For example, the configuration parameters can be divided into two parts: the first part specifies the start and end of the measurement gap, and the second part indicates the offset value of the measurement gap, as well as the start and end of the measurement gap.

[0348] Table 1 shows the configuration diagram for the measurement gap, including the measurement gap repetition period and the measurement gap length. The calculation method for the measurement gap, i.e., the system frame number (SFN) and subframe number, must satisfy the following relationship:

[0349] SFN mod T=FLOOR(gapOffset / 10);

[0350] subframe=gapOffset mod 10;

[0351] Where T = MGRP / 10, MGRP is the measurement GAP repetition period, gapOffset is the measurement GAP offset within the repetition period, FLOOR is the floor operation, and mod is the modulo operation.

[0352] Table 1

[0353] 3. Pre-configured measurement GAP solution

[0354] Enhanced GAP configuration, i.e., pre-configuring measurement GAP patterns. Specifically, one or more measurement GAP patterns can be pre-configured, and when a bandwidth part (BWP) switch occurs, only the pre-configured measurement GAP pattern needs to be activated or deactivated.

[0355] From the perspective of the base station:

[0356] After the base station establishes RRC, it pre-configures the measurement GAP to the UE. Compared with the legacy gap configuration, it has one more bit of pre-configured GAP indication.

[0357] For the activation or deactivation method controlled by the network side, the network side needs to indicate the activation or deactivation status of each measurement GAP (Pre-MG) in each BWP configuration and on the deactivation SCC.

[0358] For UE automatic activation or deactivation, the network side needs to follow the judgment criteria defined in the protocol and determine the activation or deactivation status of Pre-MG after the trigger event occurs.

[0359] From the perspective of the terminal:

[0360] In terms of activation or deactivation methods controlled by the network side, the UE needs to follow the activation or deactivation status of Pre-MG indicated in each BWP configuration and on the deactivation SCC. In Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode, it needs to follow the activation status judgment criteria of CA mode Pre-MG defined by the protocol.

[0361] For UE automatic activation or deactivation, the UE needs to follow the judgment criteria defined in the protocol to determine the activation or deactivation status of Pre-MG after the trigger event occurs.

[0362] 4. Multiple measurement GAP schemes

[0363] In NR systems, if the network can only configure one measurement gap mode at a time, it will limit the flexibility of network configuration and may prolong the UE's measurement cycle. Therefore, we consider further enhancing the measurement gap, such as configuring up to two measurement gaps per frequency range (FR). The specific configuration modes are shown in Table 2.

[0364] Table 2

[0365] 5. Pre-MG combined with concurrent measurement GAP (concurrent MG)

[0366] In the enhanced joint usage scheme for GAP features, Pre-MG and concurrent MG are used together, meaning that each FR can be pre-configured with a maximum of 2 GAPs. Whether simultaneous activation or deactivation of two Pre-MGs is supported is indicated by the UE capability.

[0367] The activation or deactivation mechanism for two Pre-MGs is not the same as the activation or deactivation mechanism for configuring a single measurement GAP.

[0368] When two Pre-MGs completely overlap, they can be activated or deactivated simultaneously, triggered by the same event, or triggered by two events of the same type. The activation or deactivation delay = first reconfiguration delay + existing processing time in related technologies + additional post-processing time T1. That is, an additional T1 is added on the basis of configuring the activation or deactivation mechanism of a single measurement GAP.

[0369] For example, the first reconfiguration delay includes, but is not limited to: BWPs reconfiguration delay, primary and secondary cell (SCells) reconfiguration delay, RRC reconfiguration delay, etc. The processing time in related technologies can be 5ms, T1 = 2ms.

[0370] This disclosure provides a measurement processing method, apparatus, terminal, and network device, which solves the problems of low service transmission efficiency and poor service performance in current measurement mechanisms. The method and apparatus (or terminal or network device) are based on the same concept. Since the principles by which the method and apparatus (or terminal or network device) solve the problem are similar, their implementations can be mutually referenced, and repeated details will not be elaborated further.

[0371] As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of this disclosure provides a measurement processing method, including the following steps:

[0372] Step 11: The terminal receives a first signaling message in the first cell; wherein the first signaling message carries first information related to the terminal's measurement in the second cell.

[0373] In some embodiments, the terminal receiving the first signaling in the first cell may include: the terminal receiving the first signaling sent by the network device in the first cell.

[0374] In some embodiments, the first information may be used to indicate the measurement of the terminal in the second cell, or the first information may include information related to the measurement of the terminal in the second cell, etc.

[0375] Step 12: The terminal performs a measurement in the second cell based on the first information; wherein the measurement in the second cell includes at least one of the following:

[0376] Skip or perform measurements within the first measurement window of the second cell;

[0377] Cancel or enforce scheduling restrictions within the first measurement window of the second cell;

[0378] Activate or deactivate to skip measurements in the second cell;

[0379] Activate or deactivate to cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell.

[0380] In some embodiments, in step 12, the terminal may perform a measurement in the second cell based on the first information. Alternatively, the terminal may perform a measurement in the second cell based on the first information and other measurement-related information agreed upon in the protocol (or configured on the network side). Specifically, performing a measurement in the second cell includes at least one of the following schemes:

[0381] Option 1: Measurement in the second cell includes: skipping or performing measurements within the first measurement window of the second cell, i.e., the terminal skips or performs measurements within the first measurement window of the second cell based on the first information.

[0382] Option 2: Measurement in the second cell includes: canceling or enforcing scheduling restrictions within the first measurement window of the second cell, i.e., the terminal cancels or enforces scheduling restrictions within the first measurement window of the second cell based on the first information.

[0383] Option 3: Measurement in the second cell includes: activating or deactivating skipping measurement in the second cell, that is, the terminal activates or deactivates skipping measurement in the second cell according to the first information, or the terminal activates or deactivates performing measurement in the second cell according to the first information.

[0384] For example, regarding scheme 3, the network side can flexibly instruct the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell. For instance, if the terminal is configured to perform measurements in the second cell, the terminal can activate "skip measurement behavior in the second cell" based on the first information; or, if the terminal is configured to perform measurements in the second cell, the terminal can deactivate "skip measurement behavior in the second cell" based on the first information, that is, resume measurement in the second cell. Or, for another example, the terminal activating or deactivating "skip measurement behavior in the second cell" based on the first information may include: the terminal activating or deactivating "skip measurement behavior in the second cell within the first measurement window" based on the first information, etc., and this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0385] Option 4: Measurement in the second cell includes: activating or deactivating "cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell", that is, the terminal activates or deactivates "cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell" according to the first information, or the terminal activates or deactivates "execute scheduling restrictions in the second cell" according to the first information.

[0386] For example, regarding scheme 4, the network side can flexibly instruct the terminal's scheduling behavior in the second cell. For instance, when the terminal is scheduling in the second cell, it can activate "cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell" based on the first information, meaning there are no scheduling restrictions in the second cell; or, when the terminal is scheduling in the second cell, it can deactivate "cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell" based on the first information, meaning there are scheduling restrictions in the second cell; or, for example, the terminal can activate or deactivate scheduling restrictions in the first measurement window of the second cell based on the first information, or activate or deactivate "cancel scheduling restrictions in the first measurement window of the second cell," etc. This disclosure is not limited to these embodiments.

[0387] In some embodiments, the second cell may be determined based on a protocol agreement, configured on the network side, or indicated by a first signaling. The first measurement window may also be determined based on a protocol agreement, configured on the network side, or indicated by a first signaling; however, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0388] In this embodiment, the terminal receives a first signaling in a first cell and, through the first information carried in the first signaling related to the terminal's measurements in a second cell, performs at least one of the following measurements in the second cell: skipping or performing measurements within a first measurement window in the second cell; canceling or performing scheduling restrictions within the first measurement window in the second cell; activating or deactivating skipping measurements in the second cell; and activating or deactivating canceling scheduling restrictions in the second cell. This scheme achieves flexible instruction for the terminal's measurements in the second cell, that is, flexible scheduling of terminal measurements and / or data transmission, thereby improving service transmission efficiency and service performance, and solving the problems of low service transmission efficiency and poor service performance in current measurement mechanisms.

[0389] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0390] Information related to the second cell; for example: information related to the identification of the second cell, such as the identifier, index or number of the second cell, and / or the identifier, index or number of the cell group associated with the second cell, or other information associated with or supporting the identification of the second cell.

[0391] Information related to the first measurement window; for example: information related to the identification of the first measurement window (such as the index or number of the first measurement window, or other information associated with or supporting the identification of the first measurement window), and / or information related to the number of first measurement windows, etc.

[0392] Terminal-related indication information; for example: terminal identification information, such as the terminal's identifier, index, or number, and / or the identifier, index, or number of the terminal group associated with the terminal; and / or the terminal's location information in the first signaling, such as the terminal's location in the first signaling, the terminal's relevant location range in the first signaling, etc.

[0393] Measurement configuration related indication information; for example: the measurement configuration related indication information is used to indicate the measurement configuration, such as when one or more measurement configurations are pre-configured based on the protocol, the measurement configuration related indication information can indicate one or more of the measurement configurations; for example, the measurement configuration related indication information can be an index, an icon, a diagram or other form of indication information, etc.

[0394] Measurement priority information; for example, this priority information may indicate the measurement priority of the terminal indicated by the first information in the second cell, or the priority level, or the priority relationship between multiple measurement priority priorities, etc.

[0395] The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell; for example, the first indication information may specifically include at least one of the following: indication information to skip or perform measurements within the first measurement window of the second cell, indication information to cancel or perform scheduling restrictions within the first measurement window of the second cell, indication information to activate or deactivate skip measurements in the second cell, and indication information to activate or deactivate cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell.

[0396] It should be noted that the aforementioned one or more pieces of information in the first information may be carried in the same signaling message or in different signaling messages. For example, the first signaling message may carry all of the aforementioned information in the first information, or the first signaling message may carry one or more of the aforementioned information in the first information, or the first signaling message may carry a portion of the aforementioned information (which may be one or more) in the first information and a further portion of the aforementioned information (which may be one or more) in the first information through the second signaling message, etc. The embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.

[0397] For example, the one or more pieces of information carried in the first message can be explicit or implicit. For implicit indications, the information can be matched one-to-one with the carried information according to the protocol or a list of network-side configuration information. The corresponding indication information can be obtained from the information position of the carried information in the first signaling.

[0398] In some embodiments, the measurement processing method further includes:

[0399] The terminal receives first measurement window configuration information and / or configuration information associated with the first configuration information; wherein, the first measurement window configuration information and / or configuration information associated with the first configuration information are used to determine first measurement window related information, and the first measurement window related information includes at least one of the following:

[0400] The identification information of the first measurement window; for example, it could be the identification information of the first measurement window (such as an index or number), or other information related to determining the identification of the first measurement window.

[0401] Information related to the number of first measurement windows; for example, it could be the number of first measurement windows, or other information related to determining the number of first measurement windows.

[0402] Information related to the start time of the first measurement window; for example, it could be the start time of the first measurement window, or other information related to determining the start time of the first measurement window.

[0403] Information related to the end time of the first measurement window; for example, it could be the end time of the first measurement window, or other information related to determining the end time of the first measurement window.

[0404] Information related to the duration of the first measurement window; for example, it could be the duration of the first measurement window, or other information related to determining the duration of the first measurement window.

[0405] For example, the first measurement window configuration information can be used to explicitly configure the first measurement window related information, or the terminal can determine the first measurement window related information (or determine the first measurement window) based on the first measurement window configuration information.

[0406] For example, the first measurement window configuration information may include at least one of the following:

[0407] The identifier of the first measurement window;

[0408] The number of the first measurement windows;

[0409] The start time of the first measurement window;

[0410] The end time of the first measurement window;

[0411] The duration of the first measurement window.

[0412] In this way, based on the above-mentioned first measurement window configuration information, the terminal can know at least one of the identifier of the first measurement window, the number of first measurement windows, the start time of the first measurement window, the end time of the first measurement window, and the duration of the first measurement window, and can reduce signaling consumption.

[0413] For another example, configuration information associated with the first configuration information can be used to implicitly configure information related to the first measurement window, or the terminal can determine information related to the first measurement window (or determine the first measurement window) based on the configuration information associated with the first configuration information.

[0414] For example, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0415] Configuration information related to service transmission;

[0416] Measure the configuration information related to the GAP and / or SMTC windows;

[0417] Discontinuous reception of DRX-related configuration information;

[0418] Reference signal or search space set related configuration information;

[0419] SPS or CG related configuration information.

[0420] For example, the configuration information associated with the first configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0421] Configuration information that has a first association with the first configuration information is used to determine the start time of the first measurement window;

[0422] Configuration information that has a second association with the first configuration information is used to determine the end time of the first measurement window;

[0423] Configuration information that has a third association with the first configuration information is used to determine the duration of the first measurement window.

[0424] For example, regarding service transmission-related configuration information: when the terminal is configured with service transmission-related configuration information, such as at least one of the following: non-integer multiple DRX period, multiple CG physical uplink shared channel (multiple CG PUSCH), autonomous resource selection-uplink control information (UTO-UCI), it can implicitly instruct the terminal to perform measurements within the first measurement window of the second cell when transmitting a specific service.

[0425] For example, the configuration information that has a first association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: receiving the initial scheduling DCI and / or a certain time interval before (or after) the offset within the DRX; the time point at which the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) set identifier is received and / or a certain time interval before (or after) the offset; the time point at which data is transmitted within the CG or SPS cycle and / or a certain time interval before (or after) the offset.

[0426] For example, the configuration information that has a second association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: the time point at which the PDU set end identifier is received and / or a certain time interval before (or after); the start time / end time and / or a specific time interval before (or after) the transmission opportunity indicated by UTO-UCI as "1"; in some embodiments, the time interval may be greater than or equal to zero.

[0427] For example, the third association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: N times or 1 / N of the DRX cycle length; N times or 1 / N of the integer length of the CG / SPS cycle.

[0428] For example, for non-continuous reception of DRX-related configuration information, such as the DRX activator.

[0429] For example, configuration information that has a first association with the first configuration information may include: the starting position of the DRX cycle or activation period and / or a certain time interval before (or after) it.

[0430] For example, the second association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: PDU set end identifier; successful reception of the last data packet; IAT timeout; DRX command reception time point and / or a certain time interval before (or after).

[0431] For example, the third association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: DRX activation period; the time period occupied by the SPS Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission opportunity; and the time period occupied by the CG Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission opportunity.

[0432] For example, regarding the configuration information related to the measurement GAP and / or SMTC window: it can indicate that the first measurement window is a measurement window with one or more specific configurations.

[0433] For example, the configuration information that has a first association with the first configuration information may include: the start time and / or the front (or back) offset of a certain time interval of the measurement window of one or more specific configurations.

[0434] For example, the second association with the first configuration information may include the start time and / or the front (or back) offset of the measurement window of one or more specific configurations by a certain time interval.

[0435] For example, the third association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: the start time and / or the time occupied by a certain time interval before (or after) the measurement window of a specific configuration; an integer number of measurement GAP or SMTC windows that are greater than or equal to the first offset value and / or less than or equal to the second offset value.

[0436] In some embodiments, at least one of a first offset value, a second offset value, and the number of first measurement windows can be configured via RRC signaling; and / or, the number of first measurement windows can be indicated via DCI, etc., but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0437] For example, configuration information related to reference signals or search space sets: such as configuration information related to periodic reference signals like SSB, CSI-RS, PRS, and TRS.

[0438] For example, configuration information related to SPS or CG could be an integer number of SPS or CG cycles that satisfy a first offset value and / or a second offset value.

[0439] For example, the configuration information that has a first association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: the starting position of one (or more) CG or SPS cycles and / or a certain time interval before (or after); in some embodiments, the time interval may be greater than or equal to zero.

[0440] For example, the second association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: the end position of one (or more) CG or SPS cycles and / or an offset before (or after) a certain time interval; in some embodiments, the time interval may be greater than or equal to zero.

[0441] For example, the third association with the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: the time interval corresponding to the end position of one (or more) CG or SPS cycles and / or the time interval before (or after) a certain time interval; the time period in which data is transmitted at the end position of one (or more) CG or SPS cycles and / or the time interval before (or after) a certain time interval, etc.

[0442] In some embodiments, the start time related information of the first measurement window includes at least one of the following: the start position of the first measurement window, the time interval from the first signaling reception time, the start system frame number of the reference cell, the period of the first measurement window and the offset value within the period, and the first association relationship with the first configuration information.

[0443] The information related to the end time of the first measurement window includes at least one of the following: the end position of the first measurement window, the end system frame number of the reference cell, the time interval from the measurement within the first measurement window, the second time interval from the first signaling reception time, the period of the first measurement window and the offset value within the period, and the second association with the first configuration information.

[0444] The duration-related information of the first measurement window includes at least one of the following: the duration of the first measurement window, the first timer, and the third association with the first configuration information.

[0445] For example, when the terminal is configured with configuration information that is associated with the first configuration information, the start time information of the first measurement window can be configured with this first association with the first configuration information. Alternatively, when the terminal is not configured with configuration information that is associated with the first configuration information, the start time information of the first measurement window may not be configured with this first association with the first configuration information.

[0446] For example, if the terminal is configured with configuration information that is associated with the first configuration information, the end time information of the first measurement window can be configured with the second association relationship with the first configuration information. Alternatively, if the terminal is not configured with configuration information that is associated with the first configuration information, the end time information of the first measurement window may not be configured with the second association relationship with the first configuration information.

[0447] For example, if the terminal is configured with configuration information that is associated with the first configuration information, the duration-related information of the first measurement window can be configured with this third association with the first configuration information. Alternatively, if the terminal is not configured with configuration information that is associated with the first configuration information, the duration-related information of the first measurement window may not be configured with this third association with the first configuration information.

[0448] In some embodiments, the first signaling includes at least one of the following:

[0449] A terminal-specific DCI that carries data scheduling information;

[0456] In some embodiments, the terminal-specific DCI carrying data scheduling information includes at least one of the following formats: DCI format x_1, DCI format x_2, and DCI format x_3.

[0457] Alternatively, the terminal-specific DCI that does not carry data scheduling information includes at least one of the following formats: DCI format x_1, DCI format x_2, and DCI format x_3.

[0458] Alternatively, the group common DCI includes at least one of the following formats: DCI format 2_6, DCI format 2_7, DCI format 2_8, and DCI format 2_9.

[0459] In some embodiments, the first cell includes: a primary cell and / or at least one serving cell of the terminal.

[0460] In some embodiments, the second cell includes at least one of the following:

[0461] The terminal has at least one serving cell; for example, the current serving cell;

[0462] At least one cell in the FR cell group associated with the serving cell; for example, the FR cell group may be the FR1 cell group associated with the serving cell, and / or the FR2 cell group associated with the serving cell.

[0463] The serving cell is associated with at least one cell in a pre-configured cell group;

[0464] A specific cell; the specific cell includes at least one of the following: at least one pre-configured cell, and at least one cell indicated by the first signaling;

[0465] At least one cell in the FR cell group associated with the specific cell; for example, the FR cell group may be the FR1 cell group associated with the specific cell, and / or the FR2 cell group associated with the specific cell.

[0466] The specific cell is associated with at least one cell in a pre-configured group of cells;

[0467] At least one cell in a specific FR cell group;

[0468] All cells configured on the terminal.

[0469] For example, a terminal receives downlink signaling carrying first information in a primary cell (Primary cell, PCell) or a special cell (SpCell). This first information indicates the measurement behavior of the Media Gateway (MG) or SMTC configuration associated with the second cell within a first measurement window. Here, the second cell can be the terminal's own cell or a scheduled cell. The second cell can be explicitly indicated in the downlink signaling or implicitly indicated based on configuration information. For example, implicit indication could be the measurement behavior within the first measurement window based on the MG or SMTC configuration associated with the scheduled cell, such as skipping the first measurement window or canceling the scheduling restrictions of the first measurement window. The MG or SMTC configuration associated with the scheduled cell can be one or more configurations or patterns.

[0470] For another example, when a terminal receives downlink signaling carrying first information in the serving cell, the first information indicates the measurement behavior of the MG configuration or SMTC configuration corresponding to the second cell in the first measurement window. When the downlink signaling can schedule data transmission of multiple cells or indicate the measurement behavior of multiple cells, the specific first information indicating the measurement behavior of the MG configuration or SMTC configuration corresponding to the second cell in the first measurement window includes at least one of the following: data transmission of the second cell or the cell group to which the second cell belongs and the measurement behavior in the measurement window; or, the measurement behavior in the measurement window associated with the second cell, such as: the measurement gap of FR1 or FR2 associated with the second cell, or the measurement time period within the SMTC window associated with the second cell.

[0471] In some embodiments, the first signaling includes at least one first indication field, the first indication field including first indication information corresponding to at least one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR.

[0472] For example, the first instruction information may specifically include at least one of the following: an instruction to skip or execute measurements within the first measurement window of the second cell; an instruction to cancel or execute scheduling restrictions within the first measurement window of the second cell; an instruction to activate or deactivate skip measurements in the second cell; or an instruction to activate or deactivate cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell.

[0473] For example, the first signaling may include a first indication field, which may include first indication information of any one of the following: a first measurement window, a cell or cell group, a terminal or terminal group, or a FR; or the first indication field may include any two or more first indication information of any one of the following: a first measurement window, a cell or cell group, a terminal or terminal group, or a FR, etc. The embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.

[0474] For example, the first signaling may include multiple first indication fields, wherein each first indication field may include first indication information of any one of the following: a first measurement window, a cell or cell group, a terminal or terminal group, or a FR. For example, different first indication fields may include first indication information of different items (e.g., one first indication field may include first indication information of the first measurement window, and another first indication field may include first indication information of the terminal or terminal group, etc.); or, for example, different first indication fields may include first indication information of different groups of the same item (e.g., taking the first indication field including first indication information of the first measurement window as an example, one first indication field may include first indication information of the first measurement window #0, and another first indication field may include first indication information of the terminal's first measurement window #1, etc.). This embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto; or, each first indication field may include any two or more first indication information of the first measurement window, a cell or cell group, a terminal or terminal group, or a FR, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0475] In some embodiments, the first indication field includes at least one second indication field, the second indication field including first indication information corresponding to at least one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR.

[0476] For example, the first instruction information may specifically include at least one of the following: instruction information to skip or execute measurements in the first measurement window of the second cell, instruction information to cancel or execute scheduling restrictions in the first measurement window of the second cell, instruction information to activate or deactivate skip measurements in the second cell, and instruction information to activate or deactivate cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell.

[0477] For example, regarding the case where the first indication field may include first indication information of any one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, and FR: different second indication fields may include measurements of different groups (for example, taking the first indication field as including the first indication information of the first measurement window, one second indication field may include the first indication information of the first measurement window #0, and another second indication field may include the first indication information of the terminal's first measurement window #1, etc.); or, the second indication field may include first indication information of a different item from the first indication field (for example, taking the first indication field as including the first indication information of the first measurement window, the second indication field may include the first indication information of one or more cells under the first measurement window, etc.), and the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.

[0478] For example, regarding the situation where the first indication field can be used to indicate any two or more first indication information in the first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, and FR: different second indication fields can be used to indicate different items of first indication information (for example, taking the first indication information as the first indication information is used to indicate the first indication information of the first measurement window and the cell, one second indication field can be used to indicate the measurement of the first measurement window, and another first indication field can be used to indicate the first indication information of the terminal, etc.); or, the second indication field can be used to indicate first indication information that is different from the first indication field (for example, taking the first indication information as the first indication information is used to indicate the first indication information of the first measurement window and the cell, the second indication field can be used to indicate the first indication information of one or more terminals under the first measurement window and / or cell, etc.). The embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0479] It should also be noted that the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited to the number of design indication domain levels. For example, the second indication domain may also include at least one third indication domain, and the third indication domain includes at least one of the following first indication information: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR; or, the third indication domain includes at least one fourth indication domain, and the fourth indication domain includes at least one of the following first indication information: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR, etc. The embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0480] In some embodiments, the first indication information in the first indication field for indicating any one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR includes one or more bits.

[0481] For example, in the case where the first indication field can be used to indicate the measurement of any one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR: the information bits of the first indication field can be one or more bits.

[0482] For another example, when the first indication field can be used to indicate any two or more measurements among the first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, and FR: the information bits in the first indication field used to indicate any one of them can be one or more bits. For example, taking the first indication information as an example of indicating the measurement of the first measurement window and the cell, the information bits in the first indication field used to indicate the measurement of the first measurement window can be one or more bits, and / or, the information bits in the first indication field used to indicate the measurement of the cell can be one or more bits.

[0483] For example, the first instruction information may specifically include at least one of the following: instruction information to skip or execute measurements in the first measurement window of the second cell, instruction information to cancel or execute scheduling restrictions in the first measurement window of the second cell, instruction information to activate or deactivate skip measurements in the second cell, and instruction information to activate or deactivate cancel scheduling restrictions in the second cell.

[0484] In some embodiments, the first indication information in the second indication field for indicating any one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR includes one or more bits.

[0485] For example, in the case where the second indication field can be used to indicate the measurement of any one of the first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, or FR: the information bits of the second indication field can be one or more bits.

[0486] For another example, when the second indication field can be used to indicate any two or more measurements from the first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, and FR: the information bits in the second indication field used to indicate any one of these measurements can be one or more bits. For instance, if the second indication information is used to indicate different behaviors related to the first measurement window, the information bits in the second indication field used to indicate the measurement of the first measurement window #0 can be one or more bits, and / or, the information bits in the first indication field used to indicate the measurement of the first measurement window #1 can be one or more bits.

[0487] For example, when the first signaling only carries a first indication field to indicate whether to skip the measurement behavior of a specific number of measurement windows (including at least one measurement window such as MG and SMTC windows), it can be a fixed indication or a sliding indication of the measurement behavior within the measurement window. When the first indication field is 1 bit of indication information, it is used to indicate whether to skip the specific number of measurement windows, with "0" indicating not skipping and "1" indicating skipping. The specific number of measurement windows indicated is configured by the higher-layer signaling. When the first indication field is N bits of indication information, it can be used to indicate the measurement behavior within multiple measurement windows, and the specific correspondence is configured by the higher-layer signaling. Examples of indication methods are as follows: bit mapping indicates N measurement windows of a specific measurement configuration, or bit mapping indicates a specific number of measurement windows of a measurement configuration, or indicates a specific number of specific configuration measurement windows corresponding to N bits of information, or indicates one or more measurement windows corresponding to a configuration ID of N bits of information.

[0488] In some embodiments, the first measurement window includes: a first type of measurement window and / or a second type of measurement window;

[0489] The first type of measurement window includes at least one of the following:

[0490] A dedicated measurement window as defined in the protocol or configured on the network side;

[0491] At least one measurement gap;

[0492] At least one SMTC window;

[0493] At least one measurement time period within the SMTC window;

[0494] At least one measurement window that satisfies a first condition; wherein the first condition is: the duration of the measurement window start time from the first signaling reception time is greater than or equal to a first time interval;

[0495] Measurement windows or measurement time periods that conflict with data transmission resources;

[0496] The measurement window associated with the second cell;

[0497] The second type of measurement window is determined by or related to the first type of measurement window.

[0498] For example, a second type of measurement window can be obtained by adjusting at least one of the start time, end time, and duration of the first type of measurement window based on protocol agreements or network-side configuration rules. Alternatively, the rules for obtaining the second type of measurement window by adjusting at least one of the start time, end time, and duration of the first type of measurement window may also depend on the terminal implementation. Alternatively, the second type of measurement window can be determined based on information related to at least one of the start time, end time, and duration of the first type of measurement window. Alternatively, the second type of measurement window can be determined based on its association with the first type of measurement window, etc., and this disclosure is not limited to these embodiments.

[0499] In some embodiments, when the terminal performs a measurement in the second cell based on the first information, at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0500] The terminal does not expect to receive the second information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information; wherein the second information is used to indicate the terminal's measurement in the second cell;

[0501] If the first information instructs the terminal to skip the measurement in the second cell, the terminal does not expect to receive the third information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information; wherein, the third information is used to instruct the terminal to perform the measurement in the second cell;

[0502] If the first information instructs the terminal to skip the measurement in the second cell, the terminal may receive the third information if certain conditions are met.

[0503] If the first information indicates that the terminal should skip the measurement in the second cell, the terminal may allow or may only allow receiving the third information within the effective time window;

[0504] When the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell, the terminal may allow or may only allow receiving the fourth information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information; wherein the fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to skip the measurements in the second cell.

[0505] In some embodiments, the effective time window is a dedicated time window agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side; or, the effective time window includes the first measurement window.

[0506] For example, if the effective time window is a dedicated time window agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side, at least one of the following rules can be adopted:

[0507] Rule A1: The terminal does not expect to receive the second information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information; wherein the second information is used to indicate the terminal's measurement in the second cell. For example, taking the first information carried in DCI as an example, the DCI indication information cannot be changed within the dedicated time window corresponding to the DCI (or the first information).

[0508] Rule A2: If the first information instructs the terminal to skip measurements in the second cell, the terminal does not expect to receive the third information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information, and / or the terminal allows receiving the third information after the effective time window; wherein the third information is used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell. For example, taking the first information carried in DCI as an example, within the dedicated time window corresponding to the DCI (or the first information), if the initial DCI indication is "skip", the behavior of subsequent DCI indications cannot be changed (e.g., indications of "do not skip" are not allowed). Or, if the initial DCI indication is "skip", the behavior of subsequent DCI indications cannot be changed (e.g., indications of "do not skip" are not allowed), but the indication is allowed to be changed when specific conditions are met (e.g., specific conditions could be the end of PDU set transmission, successful retransmission, or the end of the dedicated time window).

[0509] Rule A3: When the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell, the terminal is allowed to receive a fourth information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information; wherein the fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to skip the measurements in the second cell. For example, taking the first information carried in DCI as an example, if the initial DCI instruction is "do not skip" within the dedicated time window corresponding to the DCI (or the first information), then subsequent DCI information can be changed to indicate "skip".

[0510] For example, if the effective time window includes the first measurement window, at least one of the following rules can be applied:

[0511] Rule B1: If the first information instructs the terminal to skip measurements in the second cell, the terminal is permitted to receive the third information within the effective time window; wherein the third information is used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell. For example, for the first measurement window indicating skipping, subsequent instructions can be given not to skip, i.e., the default is to skip, and measurements will only be performed when there is no data transmission.

[0512] Rule B2: If the first information instructs the terminal to skip measurements in the second cell, the terminal is only allowed to receive the third information within the effective time window; wherein, the third information is used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell. For example, for the first measurement window indicating skipping, subsequent instructions can only indicate skipping, meaning that indicating skipping implies high data transmission priority, and therefore data transmission is prioritized.

[0513] Rule B3: When the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell, the terminal is allowed to receive a fourth information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information; wherein, the fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to skip measurements in the second cell. For example, for the first measurement window that indicates not to skip, subsequent instructions can be given to skip; that is, the default is not to skip, and skipping is only allowed when data transmission occurs.

[0514] Rule B4: When the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements in the second cell, the terminal is only allowed to receive the fourth information within the effective time window corresponding to the first information; wherein, the fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to skip the measurements in the second cell. For example, for the first measurement window that instructs not to skip, subsequent instructions can only be given not to skip; that is, instructing not to skip means that the measurement has a high priority, so even if there is data transmission, it will not affect the measurement.

[0515] In some embodiments, any one of the above rules B1 to B4 can be set to be valid within a specific time period. For example, the valid time period can be a time period related to the time interval between two adjacent first measurement windows, or a time interval configured on the network side, or a timer, etc. The embodiments disclosed herein are not limited thereto.

[0516] The terminal, or terminal device, involved in the embodiments of this disclosure can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The name of the terminal device may differ in different systems; for example, in a 5G system, the terminal device can be called User Equipment (UE). The wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (CNs) via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The wireless terminal device can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges voice and / or data with the RAN.

In some network structures, the network equipment may include centralized unit (CU) nodes and distributed unit (DU) nodes, and the centralized unit and distributed unit may be geographically separated.

[0607] The measurement processing method of this disclosure will be described below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0608] Example 1: Dynamic Signaling Indication Measurement

[0609] After receiving first information related to the terminal's measurement in the second cell from the first cell, the terminal performs the measurement in the second cell based on the first information. Alternatively, the terminal performs the measurement in the second cell based on the first information and measurement-related information defined in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0610] The first cell includes the primary cell and / or at least one serving cell of the terminal.

[0611] The second community includes at least one of the following:

[0612] The terminal has at least one serving cell; for example, the current serving cell;

[0613] At least one cell in the FR cell group associated with the serving cell; for example, the FR cell group may be the FR1 cell group associated with the serving cell, and / or the FR2 cell group associated with the serving cell.

[0617] The specific cell is associated with at least one cell in a pre-configured group of cells;

[0618] At least one cell in a specific FR cell group;

[0619] All cells configured on the terminal.

[0620] For example, a terminal receives downlink signaling carrying first information in the primary cell (PCell or SpCell). This first information indicates the measurement behavior of the MG configuration or SMTC configuration corresponding to the second cell in the first measurement window. Here, the second cell can be the terminal's own cell or a scheduled cell. The second cell can be explicitly indicated in the downlink signaling or implicitly indicated based on configuration information. For example, the implicit indication can be the measurement behavior of the MG configuration or SMTC configuration associated with the scheduled cell in the first measurement window, such as skipping the first measurement window or canceling the scheduling restrictions of the first measurement window. The MG configuration or SMTC configuration associated with the scheduled cell can be one or more configurations or patterns.

[0621] For another example, when a terminal receives downlink signaling carrying first information in the serving cell, the first information indicates the measurement behavior of the MG configuration or SMTC configuration corresponding to the second cell in the first measurement window. When the downlink signaling can schedule data transmission of multiple cells or indicate the measurement behavior of multiple cells, the specific first information indicating the measurement behavior of the MG configuration or SMTC configuration corresponding to the second cell in the first measurement window includes at least one of the following: data transmission of the second cell or the cell group to which the second cell belongs and the measurement behavior in the measurement window; or, the measurement behavior in the measurement window associated with the second cell, such as: the measurement gap of FR1 or FR2 associated with the second cell, or the measurement time period within the SMTC window associated with the second cell.

[0628] At least one measurement window that satisfies a first condition; wherein the first condition is: the duration of the measurement window start time from the first signaling reception time is greater than or equal to a first time interval; for example: the first time interval may be greater than or equal to 0.

[0629] Measurement windows or measurement time periods that conflict with data transmission resources;

[0630] The measurement window associated with the second cell;

[0631] The second type of measurement window is determined by or related to the first type of measurement window.

[0632] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0634] Information related to the first measurement window; for example: information related to the first measurement window identifier and / or information related to the number of first measurement windows, etc.

[0635] Terminal-related information; for example: terminal identification information, such as the terminal's identifier, index, or number, and / or the identifier, index, or number of the terminal group to which the terminal is associated; and / or terminal location information, such as the terminal's location and the location range associated with the terminal.

[0636] Measurement configuration related indication information; for example: the measurement configuration related indication information is used to indicate the measurement configuration, such as when one or more measurement configurations are pre-configured based on the agreement or protocol, the measurement configuration related indication information can indicate one or more of the measurement configurations; for example, the measurement configuration related indication information can be an index or icon or diagram or other form of indication information, etc.

[0637] Measurement priority information; for example, the priority information may indicate the priority of the measurement indicated by the first information, or the priority level, or the priority relationship between multiple measurement priority priorities, etc.

[0638] The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal on measurements in the second cell. For example, the first indication information can be used to indicate whether to perform measurements within a first measurement window, such as skipping or performing measurements within the first measurement window of the second cell, and / or canceling or performing scheduling restrictions within the first measurement window of the second cell. And / or, the first indication information can be used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate measurements in the second cell, such as activating or deactivating measurements in the second cell, and / or activating or deactivating scheduling restrictions in the second cell, etc.

[0639] In some embodiments, the first information may be carried by downlink signaling, which includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a terminal-specific DCI carrying data scheduling information; a terminal-specific DCI not carrying data scheduling information; a dedicated DCI carrying the first information; a group common DCI; media access control (MAC) layer signaling; a dedicated MAC CE carrying the first indication information; and higher-layer signaling.

[0640] In some embodiments, N bits may be added to the downlink signaling to indicate the terminal's measurement in the second cell.

[0641] For example, the DCI carrying data scheduling information includes at least one of DCI format x_1, DCI format x_2, and DCI format x_3, used to indicate the corresponding measurement behavior on the cell of specific scheduling data; wherein, DCI format x_1 and DCI format x_2 can be used to indicate the corresponding measurement behavior on a single scheduling data cell; and DCI format x_3 can indicate the corresponding measurement behavior on at least one cell of the scheduling cell.

[0642] For example, DCIs that do not carry data scheduling information include: DCI format x_1, DCI format x_2, and DCI format x_3.

[0643] For example, the group common DCI includes: DCI format 2_6, DCI format 2_7, DCI format 2_8, and DCI format 2_9.

[0644] For example, the design of downlink signaling includes at least one of the following information:

[0645] MG and / or SMTC indicator fields

[0646] Measurement behavior indication information for different types of MG, including at least one of: per FR1, per FR2, and per UE;

[0647] Behavioral indication information for different SMTC configurations, including: measurement behavior indications in at least one configured SMTC;

[0648] Measurement behavior indication information for different cells (groups), that is: the measurement behavior of the indicated cell (group) within the measurement window;

[0650] The UE performs the corresponding measurement actions within the target MG or target SMTC.

[0651] In some embodiments, the first signaling includes at least one first indication field, the first indication field including first indication information corresponding to at least one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR.

[0652] In some embodiments, the first indication field includes at least one second indication field, the second indication field including first indication information corresponding to at least one of the following: first measurement window, cell or cell group, terminal or terminal group, FR.

[0653] The base station sends first information to the terminal in the first cell, whereby the first information is related to the terminal's measurements in the second cell (group). This first information can be carried through downlink signaling, such as: a terminal-specific DCI carrying data scheduling information; a terminal-specific DCI not carrying data scheduling information; a dedicated DCI carrying the first information; a group common DCI; Media Access Control (MAC) layer signaling; a dedicated MAC CE carrying the first indication information; and higher-layer signaling.

[0654] As shown in Figure 3, Case 1 involves instructing measurements within a first measurement window (e.g., a measurement window defined by the first information protocol or configured on the network side) via a scheduled DCI. Case 2 involves instructing measurements within a specified number of first measurement windows (e.g., SMTC and / or MG) via a non-scheduled DCI. In some embodiments, the time interval between the first measurement window shown in Figure 3 and the DCI needs to be greater than or equal to a certain time offset value.

[0655] As shown in Figure 4, taking the scheduling information of multiple serving cells indicated by the scheduling DCI as an example, Case 3 is the measurement behavior within the measurement window that conflicts with the transmitted data on a specific cell indicated by the DCI; as shown in Figure 4, taking the scheduling information of multiple serving cells indicated by the scheduling DCI as an example, Case 4 is the measurement behavior within the measurement window associated with a specific cell indicated by the DCI.

[0656] Example 2: DCI design content, such as UE-specific signaling;

[0657] The terminal receives downlink signaling carrying first information in PCell and / or any serving cell. The first information relates to measurements taken by the terminal in the second cell. This embodiment takes adding an information field as an example; the information field carrying the first information in the downlink signaling can adopt at least one of the following methods:

[0658] Method 1: MG measurement indication field, as shown in Table 3 and / or Table 4.

[0659] Table 3

[0660] Table 4

[0662] For example, one bit is used to indicate whether to perform the corresponding measurement action within the first measurement window. For example, "0" means no measurement is performed, and "1" means the corresponding measurement is performed.

[0663] For example, N bits are used to indicate measurements within N or M (M less than or equal to 2^N) first measurement windows, such as N bits mapping measurements within N first measurement windows to downlink signaling distance time offset values, or indicating measurements within M first measurement windows.

[0664] The first measurement window here can be a measurement window within the time window pre-configured by the base station, or one or more measurement windows with a time offset value from the downlink signaling distance, such as the measurement GAP or SMTC window. The specific parameters are configured by the higher layer signaling.

The measurement indication field can be carried in DCI format x_3 and is used to indicate the measurement behavior of a specific serving cell in the first measurement window. For serving cells without indication, the default measurement behavior can be used, i.e., no data reception and / or transmission within the MG, or no data reception and / or transmission during measurement in the SMTC. Each serving cell measurement indication field includes any one or a combination of two of the above methods one to two.

[0676] Method 4: As shown in Table 10, Table 11, Table 12, or Table 13.

[0683] The measurement indication field can be carried in the group common signaling, for example, by taking at least one of DCI format 2_6, DCI format 2_7, DCI format 2_8, and DCI format 2_9 as an example.

[0684] Taking DCI format 2_6 as an example, the measurement indication fields are shown in Table 14, Table 15, Table 16, or Table 17.

[0691] It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed herein may be extended to other groups of common downlink signaling, such as: DCI format 2_0, DCI format 2_1, DCI format 2_2, DCI format 2_3, DCI format 2_4, and DCI format 2_5.

[0692] Example 4: Indication method of the first measurement window of DCI indication;

[0693] This embodiment mainly illustrates the expansion of a specified measurement window.

[0694] For example, when the DCI indicates whether to skip all MG configurations and SMTC measurements (e.g., 1 to N bits) within the first measurement window, and the first measurement window is a fixed window or a sliding window, the time window can be indicated explicitly via RRC signaling or implicitly. Specifically, it can be implemented using at least one of the following methods:

[0695] Method 1: When the first measurement window is an explicit RRC signaling indication, it includes at least one of the following:

[0696] The start time information can be at least one of the following:

[0697] The starting position of the first measurement window, the first time interval from the first signaling reception time, the starting system frame number of the reference cell, the period of the first measurement window and the offset value within the period, and the first association relationship with the first configuration information;

[0698] The end time information can be at least one of the following:

[0699] The end position of the first measurement window, the end system frame number of the reference cell, the time interval between measurements within the first measurement window, the second time interval between the first signaling reception time (e.g., the mini-gap between the measurement behavior within the MG or SMTC window), the period of the first measurement window and the offset value within the period, and the second association with the first configuration information.

[0700] Duration-related information may include at least one of the following:

[0701] The duration of the first measurement window, the first timer, and the third association with the first configuration information.

[0702] In some embodiments, the duration can be N time units, such as milliseconds, time slots, symbols, etc.

[0703] Method 2: The first measurement window is an implicit indicator, meaning it is associated with a specific process, such as through configuration information that is related to the first configuration information. The first configuration information and its associated relationships can adopt at least one of the following schemes:

[0704] Option 1: Associated with data transmission, meaning the first configuration information is configuration information related to service transmission;

[0705] When a terminal is configured with service transmission-related configuration information, such as at least one of the following: non-integer multiple DRX period, multiple CG PUSCH, UTO-UCI, etc., it implies that when the terminal is transmitting a specific service, the terminal will perform specific measurement actions in the indicated measurement window.

[0706] The first configuration information has the following relationships:

[0707] The start time includes at least one of the following: data service-related configuration associated with receiving the initial scheduling DCI and / or offset by a certain time interval within the DRX; or the time point when the PDU set identifier is received and / or offset by a certain time interval, or the time point when data is transmitted within the CG or SPS cycle and / or offset by a certain time interval.

[0708] The end time includes at least one of the following: the time point at which the PDU set end identifier is received and / or a certain time interval before or after it; the start time / end time and / or a first time interval before or after it for a transmission opportunity where the UTO-UCI is "1"; in some embodiments, the first time interval may be greater than or equal to zero.

[0709] Window duration: N times or 1 / N of the DRX cycle length; N times or 1 / N of the integer length of the CG / SPS cycle.

[0710] Option 2: Associated with DRX, meaning the first configuration information is DRX-related configuration information, such as: DRX activator.

[0711] The first configuration information has the following relationships:

[0712] The start time includes: the starting position of the DRX cycle or activation period, and / or, a certain time interval before or after it;

[0713] The end time includes at least one of the following: PDU set end marker, successful reception of the last data packet, IAT timeout, DRX command reception time point and / or a certain time interval before or after;

[0714] The window duration includes at least one of the following: DRX activation period, SPS PDSCH transmission opportunity period, and CG PUSCH transmission opportunity period.

[0715] Option 3: Associated with measurement, i.e., the first configuration information is the measurement GAP and / or SMTC window related configuration information, such as: MG or SMTC window.

[0716] The measurement window is the first measurement window for a specific configuration of one or more.

[0717] Start time: The start time and / or a certain time interval before or after the first measurement window of a specific configuration;

[0718] End time: The start time and / or a certain time interval before or after the start time of the first measurement window of a specific configuration (one or more).

[0719] Window duration: The start time and / or the time occupied by a certain time interval between the start and end offsets of one or more specific configuration measurement windows; an integer number of measurement GAP or SMTC windows that satisfy a first offset value and / or a second offset value.

[0720] In some embodiments, at least one of a first offset value, a second offset value, and the number of first measurement windows can be configured via RRC signaling; and / or, the number of first measurement windows can be indicated via DCI, etc.

[0721] Option 4: Associated with periodic reference signals or search space sets, i.e., the first configuration information is configuration information related to reference signals or search space sets, such as periodic reference signals: SSB, CSI-RS, PRS, TRS, etc.

[0722] Option 5: Associated with SPS or CG, that is, the first configuration information is SPS or CG related configuration information, such as: an integer number of SPS or CG cycles that are greater than or equal to the first offset value and / or less than or equal to the second offset value.

[0723] Start time: The starting position of one or more CG or SPS cycles and / or offset by a certain time interval; in some embodiments, this time interval may be greater than or equal to zero.

[0724] End time: The end position of one or more CG or SPS cycles and / or an offset of a certain time interval; in some embodiments, this time interval may be greater than or equal to zero.

[0725] Window duration: the time interval corresponding to the end position and / or a certain time interval before and after the end position of one (or more) CG or SPS cycles; the time period during which data is transmitted at the end position and / or a certain time interval before and after the end position of one (or more) CG or SPS cycles.

[0726] When the DCI indicator skips measurements in a specific number of first measurement windows (e.g., at least one of the MG or SMTC windows) (e.g., using a 1-N bit indicator), it can be a fixed indicator or a sliding indicator for measurements within the first measurement window.

[0727] For example, a 1-bit indication is used to indicate whether to skip; specifically, "0" indicates not to skip and "1" indicates to skip. The number of first measurement windows specifically indicated can be configured by higher-layer signaling.

[0728] For example, N-bit indication information can be used to indicate measurement behavior within multiple first measurement windows, and the specific correspondence can be configured by higher-layer signaling. Examples are as follows:

[0729] The bit mapping indicates N first measurement windows for a specific measurement configuration;

[0730] Bit mapping indicates a specific number of first measurement windows for the measurement configuration;

[0731] The first measurement window indicates a specific configuration of the number of N bits of information.

[0732] Indicates one or more first measurement windows corresponding to the configuration ID of the N-bit information.

[0733] Example 5: Effective Time Window;

[0734] For example, the scheduling DCI signaling carries one information bit to indicate whether to skip one or more subsequent MGs or to remove the scheduling restriction, as shown in Figure 5.

[0735] When the DCI instructs a measurement within a first measurement window, a certain time interval must be met; that is, a specific time interval must be satisfied between the DCI carrying the first information and the MG. Otherwise, the first information is invalid. The terminal prepares for the measurement accordingly, requiring at least one of the following rules to be met:

[0736] Rule A: The DCI indication information cannot be changed within a specific time period.

[0737] Rule A2: If the initial DCI indication is "skip" within a specific time period, the subsequent DCI indication cannot be changed.

[0738] Rule A3: If the initial DCI indication information is "skip" within a specific time period, the subsequent DCI indication information cannot be changed until a specific condition is met. For example, the PDU set transmission ends, or the retransmission is successful.

[0739] Rule A4: If the initial DCI indication is "do not skip" within a specific time period, the subsequent DCI indication can be changed to "skip".

[0740] The specific time period can be an effective time window, which can be based on the agreement or configured by the network device.

[0741] When the DCI indication information indicates the measurement behavior of multiple measurement windows, a bitmap is used to indicate whether to skip the measurement, and one or more of the following rules must be met:

[0742] Rule B1: Indicates MGs not to be skipped, but can be indicated to be skipped later; that is, the default is not to skip, and they will be skipped when there is data transmission.

[0743] Rule B2: Indicates skipped MGs, and can be subsequently indicated not to skip; that is, the default is to skip, and measurement will only be performed when there is no data transmission.

[0744] Rule B3: If an instruction is not to skip a MG, subsequent instructions can only indicate not to skip it; that is, indicating not to skip means that the RRM measurement has a high priority, so even if there is data transmission, it will not affect the RRM measurement.

[0745] Rule B4: If an MG indicates to be skipped, it can only be indicated to skip again. That is, indicating to skip means that the data transmission has a high priority, so the data transmission will be carried out first.

[0746] Rule B5: Any one of the above rules B1 to B4 must be valid within a specific time period. This valid time period can be the time period related to the time interval between two MGs, or it can be the time interval configured by the base station, or a timer.

[0747] This disclosure provides a solution for conflicts between data transmission and measurement events, which can reduce or avoid the impact of measurement events on the transmission performance of latency-sensitive services. Of course, this disclosure is not limited to enhancing the performance of latency-sensitive services, but can also be applied to other services, etc. This disclosure is not limited thereto.
