[0025] The technical solutions in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Wireless communication system

[0027] FIG. 1 is an example of a system architecture of a wireless communication system 100 to which embodiments of the present application can be applied. The wireless communication system 100 can include a network device 110 and a terminal device 120. The network device 110 can be a device that communicates with the terminal device 120. The network device 110 can provide network coverage for a specific geographic area, and can communicate with the terminal device 120 located within the coverage area. The terminal device 120 can access a network (such as a wireless network) through the network device 110. Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 can also include a network controller, a mobile management entity, and other network entities, which are not limited by embodiments of the present application.

[0028] It should be understood that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: 5G system or new radio (NR), long term evolution (LTE) system, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) system, LTE time division duplex (TDD), etc. The technical solutions provided by the present application can also be applied to future communication systems, such as the sixth generation mobile communication system, or satellite communication system, etc.

[0029] The terminal device in the embodiments of the present application can also be referred to as a user equipment (UE), an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile terminal (MT), a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user apparatus. The terminal device in the embodiments of the present application can refer to a device providing voice and / or data connectivity for a user, and can be used to connect people, things and machines, such as handheld devices with wireless connection function, vehicle-mounted devices, etc. The terminal device in the embodiments of the present application can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Pad), a notebook computer, a palm computer, a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in smart city, a wireless terminal in smart home, etc. Optionally, the terminal device can be used to act as a base station. For example, the terminal device can act as a scheduling entity, which provides sidelink signals between terminal devices in vehicle to everything (V2X) or device to device (D2D), etc. For example, a cellular phone and a car communicate with each other using sidelink signals. The cellular phone and the smart home device communicate with each other without relaying the communication signals through the base station.

[0030] The network device in the embodiments of the present application can be a device for communicating with a terminal device. The network device can be, for example, an access network device or a radio access network device. For example, the network device can be a base station. The base station can broadly cover various names in the following or replace the following names: Node B (Node B), evolved Node B (eNB), next generation Node B (gNB), relay station, access point, transmitting and receiving point (TRP), transmitting point (TP), home base station, network controller, access node, wireless node, access point (AP), transmission node, transceiver node, baseband unit (BBU), remote radio unit (RRU), active antenna unit (AAU), remote radio head (RRH), central unit (CU), distributed unit (DU), positioning node, etc. The base station can be a macro base station, a micro base station, a relay node, a donor node, or the like, or a combination thereof.

[0031] The terminal device and the terminal device can communicate through a sidelink. The sidelink communication can also be referred to as proximity service (ProSe) communication, unilateral communication, side chain communication, D2D communication.

[0032] To ensure the mobility of the terminal device, the terminal device needs to measure the surrounding cells regularly. If it is found that the radio signal of the current serving cell is lower than the preset threshold, and the radio signal of the neighboring cell is higher than the preset threshold, the network side can change the terminal device to the neighboring cell through the handover process, and the neighboring cell will continue to provide services for it. If the frequency of the neighboring cell and the current serving cell is the same, and the subcarrier spacing is the same, the measurement behavior of the terminal device does not affect the wireless transmission with the serving cell, and there is no need to configure the measurement interval, otherwise, the terminal device needs to configure the measurement interval, and the terminal device will measure the surrounding cells regularly within the configured measurement interval. Within the measurement interval, the terminal device will perform cell measurement without sending or receiving data. That is, the existence of the measurement interval may affect the data transmission of the terminal device. For example, the measurement interval may cause the transmission delay of the corresponding service to be large, which cannot meet the low delay requirement of some services (such as extended reality (XR) service). The following will be described in detail in conjunction with examples.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 2, the serving cell configures a measurement gap (which can be referred to as GAP for short) for the UE, and the configuration parameters of the measurement gap include a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP), a measurement gap length (MGL), a gap offset (which can be used to determine the starting time of the GAP), and the like. After the terminal device confirms the configuration, the base station and the terminal device do not transmit data and any control information in the time period corresponding to the measurement gap. Therefore, the existence of the measurement gap (GAP) can affect the data transmission of the terminal device, especially the services with low latency requirements (such as XR services). For example, if the XR data of the terminal device arrives at the sending end at the start of the GAP, and these data have timed out at the end of the GAP, exceeding the transmission latency budget, the user experience will be affected.

[0034] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail as follows.

[0035] FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method shown in FIG. 3 can be performed by a terminal device, which can be, for example, the terminal device 120 mentioned above.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 3, in step S310, the terminal device receives first information sent from the base station.

[0037] In the embodiments of the present application, the first information is used to indicate one or more of the following: the base station has adjusted one or more measurement gaps of the terminal device (the adjustment manner of the one or more measurement gaps is not limited in the present application, and the detailed adjustment manner can be referred to the description in the related internal of FIG. 4.); the first data of the terminal device has been deleted, and the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the one or more measurement gaps in the time domain.

[0038] The base station can notify the terminal device of the deleted data through the first information, and the deleted first data of the terminal device can refer to the downlink data deleted by the base station due to the conflict with the measurement gap (at this time, the first data of the terminal device is the downlink data). It should be understood that the first data can refer to any type of service data of the terminal device, and the first data can be, for example, the XR data of the terminal device.

[0039] FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method shown in FIG. 4 can be performed by a base station, which can be, for example, the network device 110 mentioned above.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 4, at step S410, the base station performs a first operation, the first operation comprising one or more of: adjusting one or more measurement intervals of the terminal device; and deleting first data of the terminal device, a transmission time of the first data colliding with the one or more measurement intervals in a time domain. When there is a collision between the transmission time of the first data and the measurement interval in the time domain, the embodiments of the present application support adjusting the one or more measurement intervals and / or deleting the first data colliding with the measurement interval, thereby helping to reduce the impact of the measurement interval on data transmission.

[0041] In some implementations, before step S410, the base station can configure one or more sets of measurement intervals for the terminal device through a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message, and the multiple sets of measurement intervals can be used by the terminal device to measure neighboring cells having different frequency points, subcarrier spacings, and the like. That is, the same set of measurement intervals can be used by the terminal device to measure neighboring cells having the same frequency point, the same subcarrier spacing, and the like.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station adjusts the one or more measurement intervals of the terminal device, comprising one or more of the following adjustment methods: advancing a time window of a first measurement interval, the first measurement interval belonging to any one of the one or more measurement intervals; delaying the time window of the first measurement interval; canceling the first measurement interval (canceling the first measurement interval can also be referred to as dropping the first measurement interval, ignoring the first measurement interval, or de-activating the first measurement interval); increasing a length of the first measurement interval; shortening the length of the first measurement interval; adding a new measurement interval for the terminal device (for example, when one or more measurement intervals are canceled or deleted, one or more measurement intervals can be added for the terminal device); and deleting the first measurement interval (the configuration of a set of measurement intervals corresponds to multiple specific measurement intervals, and the deletion of a measurement interval herein refers to the deletion of one measurement interval, not the deletion of a set of measurement intervals). It should be understood that the multiple measurement intervals mentioned in the embodiments of the present application belong to the same set of measurement intervals.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station deleting the first data of the terminal device can mean that the base station deletes downlink data colliding with the measurement interval (at this time, the first data of the terminal device is downlink data); or the base station deleting the first data of the terminal device can also mean that the base station notifies the terminal device to delete uplink data colliding with the measurement interval (at this time, the first data of the terminal device is uplink data). That is, the first data of the terminal device mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be downlink data or uplink data. It should be understood that the first data can refer to any type of service data of the terminal device, and the first data can be, for example, XR data of the terminal device.

[0044] Referring back to FIG. 4, in some implementations, the first operation mentioned in step S410 can be triggered (or controlled) by the base station, can be autonomously triggered by the terminal device according to certain conditions, or can be autonomously triggered by an artificial intelligence (AI) module according to certain conditions. It should be understood that the AI module mentioned above can be located at the base station side or at the terminal device side. The following describes the three different triggering modes respectively by combining three embodiments.

[0045] Embodiment one: the base station triggers the first operation

[0046] In some implementations, the first operation can be triggered based on a first condition, and the first condition is associated with one or more of the following: a transmission time of the first data (the transmission of the first data can refer to the time when the first data reaches the access layer, for example, if the first data is downlink data, the transmission time of the first data can refer to the time when the first data reaches the user plane function (UPF) network element, can also refer to the time when the first data reaches the base station, or can refer to the time when the first data reaches the UPF plus a fixed value, and the present application does not make a specific limitation thereon); a time window of one or more measurement intervals; a transmission delay budget of the first data; a priority of one or more measurement intervals; and a priority of the first data.

[0047] For example, the first condition can be associated with the transmission time of the first data and the time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, and the first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, the base station can perform the first operation. It should be understood that the first measurement interval in the embodiment of the present application can refer to any one of the one or more measurement intervals.

[0048] For another example, the first condition can be associated with the transmission time of the first data, the time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, and the transmission delay of the first data, and the first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the configuration of the first measurement interval makes the transmission delay of the first data greater than the transmission delay budget of the first data. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the conflict will cause the transmission delay of the first data to exceed the transmission delay budget of the first data, the base station can perform the first operation.

[0049] For another example, the first condition can be associated with the transmission time of the first data, the time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, and the priority of the first data. The first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first data is higher than or equal to a first threshold. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first data is high (i.e., the priority is higher than or equal to the first threshold), the base station can perform the first operation. The first threshold value can be determined based on a protocol, configured or preconfigured by the base station, or determined by the base station itself.

[0050] For another example, the first condition can be associated with the transmission time of the first data, the time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, and the priority of the first measurement interval. The first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first measurement interval is lower than or equal to a second threshold. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first measurement interval is low (i.e., the priority is lower than or equal to the second threshold), the base station can perform the first operation. The second threshold value can be determined based on a protocol, configured or preconfigured by the base station, or determined by the base station itself.

[0051] It should be noted that fewer or more condition parameters can be combined to determine the first condition, which is not limited in the present application. For example, the transmission time of the first data, the time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, the priority of the first data, and the priority of the first measurement interval can be combined. The first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, the priority of the first data is higher than or equal to the first threshold, and the priority of the first measurement interval is lower than or equal to the second threshold. For another example, the transmission time of the first data, the time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, the transmission delay of the first data, the priority of the first data, and the priority of the first measurement interval can be combined. The first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, the configuration of the first measurement interval causes the transmission delay of the first data to be greater than the transmission delay budget of the first data, the priority of the first data is higher than or equal to the first threshold, and the priority of the first measurement interval is lower than or equal to the second threshold.

[0052] In some implementations, before step S410, the base station can send first configuration information to the terminal device, the first configuration information being used to determine whether to trigger the first operation (i.e., the base station can inform the terminal device of relevant content of determining whether to trigger the first operation through the first configuration information), and the first configuration information can include one or more of the following notification information: whether the base station will trigger the first operation, if the base station will trigger the first operation is notified, the terminal device needs to listen to the trigger of the base station; whether the terminal device will actively trigger, and notify the base station to perform the first operation, if the terminal device will actively trigger and notify the base station to perform the first operation is notified, the terminal device needs to determine the uplink wireless resource used to notify the base station.

[0053] In some other implementations, the first configuration information is further used to indicate one or more of the following: a priority threshold value of the first data; and a priority threshold value of one or more sets of measurement intervals. The first configuration information can be carried in an RRC message.

[0054] In some implementations, if the base station adjusts one or more measurement intervals of the terminal device, the base station can notify the terminal device, so that the base station and the terminal device reach a consensus on the modification of the measurement intervals. For example, the base station can send first information to the terminal device, the first information being used to indicate that the base station has adjusted one or more measurement intervals.

[0055] In some implementations, the first information can be carried in RRC signaling, a MAC control element (MAC CE), downlink control information (DCI), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), or the like.

[0056] In some implementations, if the base station decides to adjust (modify) one or more measurement intervals, the base station can notify the terminal device in advance (i.e., if a measurement interval is decided to be modified, the terminal device can be notified before the start time of the measurement interval). That is, the transmission time of the first information is earlier than the start time of a second measurement interval of the terminal device, and the second measurement interval can be a measurement interval before adjustment (i.e., the second measurement interval can refer to a measurement interval that is decided to be adjusted and has not been adjusted). The time interval between the transmission time of the first information and the second measurement interval is determined based on one or more of the following: protocol pre-defined information; configuration information of the base station; and capability information of the terminal device.

[0057] As an example, the base station can notify the terminal device before the start time of the measurement interval before adjustment, for example, at least T1 in advance. T1 can be specified by the protocol, or configured by the base station for the terminal device. Of course, T1 can also be related to the capability of the terminal device, for example, the base station can configure a specific T1 value for the terminal device according to its capability; or the base station infers a specific T1 value according to the capability of the terminal device, and follows the inferred T1 value. It should be understood that if the specific behavior of adjusting the measurement interval is to delete the measurement interval, the terminal device is notified T1 in advance before the start time of the measurement interval before deletion.

[0058] In some implementations, the base station can modify one measurement interval. The second measurement interval described above can be the first measurement interval after the transmission time of the first information (the nearest measurement interval after the transmission time of the first information); of course, the second measurement interval can also not be the nearest measurement interval after the transmission time of the first information. The second measurement interval can be indicated by the first information, for example, the first information can be used to indicate that the second measurement interval is the Nth (N is a positive integer) measurement interval after the transmission time of the first information (that is, the Nth measurement interval is modified from now on).

[0059] In other implementations, the base station can also modify multiple measurement intervals. The multiple measurement intervals to be modified can be continuous or non-continuous. For example, the base station adjusts the continuous multiple measurement intervals in one or more measurement intervals, and the first information is also used to indicate the number of measurement intervals included in the continuous multiple measurement intervals; that is, if the multiple measurement intervals to be modified are continuous, the base station can notify the terminal device that "a total of M (M is a positive integer) continuous measurement intervals are modified". For another example, the base station adjusts the non-continuous multiple measurement intervals in one or more measurement intervals, and the first information is also used to indicate the non-continuous multiple measurement intervals from one or more measurement intervals. That is, if it is non-continuous, the base station can notify the terminal device which measurement intervals are modified. As an example, the first information can include a bit map, starting from the Pth (P is a positive integer) measurement interval, each measurement interval corresponds to a bit in the bit map, if the bit is 1, it means that the corresponding measurement interval is modified, and if the bit is 0, it means that the corresponding measurement interval is not modified.

[0060] It should be noted that the modified measurement interval belongs to the same set of measurement intervals, and if the base station configures multiple sets of measurement intervals for the terminal device, the first information is also used to indicate which set of measurement intervals the modified one or more measurement intervals belong to.

[0061] It should be noted that multiple measurement intervals can overlap in time, and since the terminal device can only measure one frequency point at the same time, the base station can configure a priority for each measurement interval. If two measurement intervals overlap in time before adjustment, the terminal device can perform measurement behavior of the measurement interval with higher priority; if one measurement interval overlaps with another measurement interval in time after adjustment, the terminal device can perform measurement behavior of the adjusted measurement interval.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, if one measurement interval is modified, it can affect the next measurement interval configured currently. The following will be illustrated by combining with FIG. 5 whether the modification of the measurement interval affects the subsequent measurement interval.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5(a) shows a schematic diagram of the measurement interval (GAP) before modification, FIG. 5(b) shows a case of modifying one measurement interval without affecting the subsequent measurement interval, and FIG. 5(c) shows a case of modifying one measurement interval and affecting the subsequent measurement interval.

[0064] Therefore, the base station can inform the terminal device whether the modified measurement interval will affect the next measurement interval configured currently. For example, the base station can send third information to the terminal device, and the third information is used to indicate whether the adjustment of the first measurement interval in the one or more measurement intervals will affect the subsequent measurement interval of the first measurement interval.

[0065] In some implementations, before updating the measurement interval (GAP), the base station can try to transmit the existing downlink data in the buffer to the terminal device first, and the data that cannot be transmitted can be deleted due to the transmission time delay of the data. If the base station wants to delete the subsequent data, the terminal device can be informed in advance that one or more data packets in the subsequent data will be deleted. For example, before the second measurement interval arrives, the base station can send fourth information to the terminal device, and the fourth information is used to indicate that the base station will delete one or more data in the subsequent data of the terminal device. Wherein, the second measurement interval is one measurement interval before the adjustment of the one or more measurement intervals by the base station.

[0066] The adjustment of the second measurement interval comprises one or more of the following: advancing the time window of the second measurement interval; delaying the time window of the second measurement interval; cancelling the second measurement interval (cancelling the second measurement interval can also be referred to as dropping the second measurement interval, ignoring the second measurement interval, or de-activating the second measurement interval); increasing the length of the second measurement interval; shortening the length of the second measurement interval; deleting the second measurement interval (a set of measurement intervals corresponds to a plurality of specific measurement intervals, and the deletion of the measurement interval herein refers to the deletion of a measurement interval, rather than the deletion of a set of measurement intervals). It should be understood that the adjustment of the second measurement interval is the same as the adjustment of the first measurement interval, and therefore, the parts not described in detail can be referred to the embodiments of adjusting the first measurement interval described above.

[0067] It should be noted that the fourth information described above can be used to indicate the data packet number range to be deleted by the base station, the number of data packets to be deleted by the base station, or the total number of data packets to be deleted by the base station (such as the total byte number), which is not limited in the present application.

[0068] It should be understood that the terminal device can also notify the base station if it discards corresponding data (for example, uplink data whose transmission delay times out). For example, before the second measurement interval arrives, the base station receives the indication information sent by the terminal device, which is used to indicate the data to be discarded by the terminal device. The second measurement interval is a measurement interval before the adjustment of one or more measurement intervals by the base station.

[0069] In some implementations, the base station can send fifth information to a core network device or an application server, the fifth information being used to indicate a third measurement interval, the third measurement interval being a measurement interval determined by the base station to implement. The third measurement interval can refer to a measurement interval before the base station adjusts one or more measurement intervals, or the third measurement interval can refer to a measurement interval that is not adjusted by the base station. That is, the base station can send the fifth information to the core network device or the application server regardless of whether the base station adjusts the measurement interval. The core network device can include one or more of a user plane function (UPF) network element, an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element, and a session management function (SMF) network element, for example. The application server can be an XR server, for example. As an example, if the base station determines to modify the measurement interval, the base station can inform the UPF, the AMF, the SMF, and the XR server that there will be a GAP duration during which data cannot be transmitted after N milliseconds. Of course, the base station can also inform the core network (e.g., the UPF) of the period and length of the GAP. After obtaining the information, the core network can calculate the subsequent GAP occasion. Based on the GAP occasion, the UPF can delete a portion of data packets and not send the data packets to the base station, the XR server can modify the generated XR downlink service data to reduce the amount of data and the amount of coding redundancy, the AMF can statistically analyze the quality of service (QoS) of the terminal device based on the information, and the SMF can adjust the transmission strategy of the XR data based on the information.

[0070] In some implementations, if the modified measurement interval conflicts with another unmodified measurement interval in the time domain, the terminal device can consider the modified measurement interval to have a higher priority and perform the modified measurement interval. That is, the priority of the second measurement interval is higher than the priority of the unmodified measurement interval of the terminal device, or the terminal device performs the measurement corresponding to the second measurement interval when the second measurement interval conflicts with the unmodified measurement interval of the terminal device in the time domain. The second measurement interval is a measurement interval before the base station adjusts one or more measurement intervals.

[0071] Embodiment Two: The terminal device autonomously triggers the first operation

[0072] The first operation is triggered based on second information sent by the terminal device. Referring to FIG. 6, in step S610, the terminal device sends second information to the base station, and the second information is used to request the base station to perform the first operation, and the first operation includes one or more of the following: adjusting one or more measurement intervals of the terminal device; deleting first data of the terminal device, and a transmission time of the first data conflicts with the one or more measurement intervals in the time domain.

[0073] In some implementations, adjusting the one or more measurement intervals of the terminal device includes one or more of the following adjustment manners: advancing a time window of a first measurement interval, the first measurement interval belongs to any one of the one or more measurement intervals; delaying the time window of the first measurement interval; canceling the first measurement interval; increasing a length of the first measurement interval; shortening the length of the first measurement interval; adding a new measurement interval for the terminal device; and deleting the first measurement interval (a set of measurement interval configurations corresponds to a plurality of specific measurement intervals, and the deletion of the measurement interval herein refers to the deletion of one measurement interval, but not the deletion of a set of measurement intervals).

[0074] The second information can include a command for adjusting the measurement interval or a command for deleting the data, and the second information is used to request the base station to adjust the one or more measurement intervals of the terminal device and / or delete the first data of the terminal device. The second information can be carried in RRC signaling, MAC CE, uplink control information (UCI), a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and the like.

[0075] The deletion of the first data of the terminal device can mean that the terminal device notifies the base station of “deletion of downlink data to be sent to the terminal device” and / or “deletion of uplink data originally to be sent to the base station by the terminal device”. Further, the terminal device can indicate a data packet sequence number range deleted by the terminal device through the second information, can be used to indicate the number of data packets deleted by the terminal device, and can be used to indicate the total number of data packets deleted by the terminal device (such as the total byte number), and the present application does not make a specific limitation in this regard.

[0076] The second information can be used only to request the base station to perform the first operation, and how to modify the measurement gap and / or delete the data is determined by the base station. Alternatively, the second information can further include some indication information. For example, the second information can be used to indicate which measurement gap to modify and how to modify the measurement gap, for example, through the second information, the terminal device can suggest moving the measurement gap forward or backward by several milliseconds, or canceling a measurement gap. Of course, the terminal device can only make a suggestion, and whether to adjust the measurement gap is determined by the base station. The second information can also be used to indicate which data to delete, for example, the terminal device can suggest deleting the downlink data that may be timed out or has been timed out through the second information, and of course, the terminal device can only make a suggestion, and whether to adjust the measurement gap is determined by the base station. The base station specifically performs the content of the first operation, which is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0077] In some implementations, the terminal device can send the second information to the base station in a case where a first condition is met. The first condition is associated with one or more of the following: a transmission time of the first data (such as a transmission time of uplink data of the terminal device), wherein the first data can refer to uplink data of the terminal device; a time window of the one or more measurement gaps; a transmission delay budget of the first data; a priority of the one or more measurement gaps; and a priority of the first data.

[0078] For example, the first condition can be associated with the transmission time of the first data and the time window of the measurement gap of the terminal device, and the first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement gap in the time domain. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement gap in the time domain, the terminal device sends the second information to the base station to trigger the base station to perform the first operation. It should be understood that the first measurement gap in the embodiments of the present application can refer to any one of the one or more measurement gaps.

[0079] For another example, the first condition can be associated with the transmission time of the first data, the time window of the measurement gap of the terminal device, and the transmission delay of the first data, and the first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement gap in the time domain, and the configuration of the first measurement gap causes the transmission delay of the first data to be greater than the transmission delay budget of the first data. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement gap in the time domain, and the conflict will cause the transmission delay of the first data to be timed out, the terminal device sends the second information to the base station to trigger the base station to perform the first operation.

[0080] For example, the first condition can be associated with a transmission time of the first data, a time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, and a priority of the first data. The first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first data is higher than or equal to a first threshold. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first data is high (i.e., the priority is higher than or equal to the first threshold), the terminal device sends the second information to the base station to trigger the base station to perform the first operation. The first threshold value can be determined based on a protocol, configured or pre-configured by the base station, and the like.

[0081] For example, the first condition can be associated with a transmission time of the first data, a time window of the measurement interval of the terminal device, and a priority of the first measurement interval. The first condition can be that the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first measurement interval is lower than or equal to a second threshold. That is, if the transmission time of the first data conflicts with the first measurement interval in the time domain, and the priority of the first measurement interval is low (i.e., the priority is lower than or equal to the second threshold), the terminal device sends the second information to the base station to trigger the base station to perform the first operation. The second threshold value can be determined based on a protocol, configured or pre-configured by the base station, and the like.

[0082] It should be noted that fewer or more condition parameters can be combined to determine the first condition. The determination of the first condition is the same as in the first scheme, and will not be repeated here.

[0083] In some implementations, the terminal device includes an access layer and an application layer. After the access layer receives the notification of the base station adjusting the measurement interval, the access layer can notify the application layer. For example, the access layer sends the sixth information to the application layer, and the sixth information is used to indicate the second measurement interval, which is the measurement interval before the adjustment of the one or more measurement intervals. The application layer performs the second operation according to the second measurement interval, and the second operation includes one or more of the following: adjusting the number of uplink data generated by the application layer; adjusting the redundancy of the uplink data generated by the application layer; and adjusting the packet size (or packet size) of the uplink data generated by the application layer.

[0084] In some implementations, the access layer of the terminal device can schedule uplink data transmission of the terminal device according to the updated measurement interval. For example, the access layer performs a third operation according to a second measurement interval, the second measurement interval being the measurement interval before the adjustment of the one or more measurement intervals, and the third operation being used to schedule uplink data transmission of the terminal device. The third operation includes one or more of the following: discarding first uplink data of the terminal device; preferentially transmitting second uplink data of the terminal device; wherein the priority of the first uplink data is lower than the priority of the second uplink data. That is, in the process of scheduling uplink data, the access layer can reduce the amount of transmittable data, for example, the terminal device can discard a part of uplink data with low priority, or a part of data packets with high priority can also be preferentially transmitted.

[0085] It should be understood that the terminal device can report in advance the discarded data packets during the measurement interval. The discarded data packets may, for example, be data packets whose delay budget will expire during the second measurement interval.

[0086] Embodiment three: AI module autonomously triggers the first operation

[0087] In some implementations, an AI module can be used on the base station side to determine whether to trigger the first operation. The AI module can trigger the first operation based on the first condition, which is the same as the triggering method in embodiment one, and will not be repeated here.

[0088] It should be noted that the AI module can predict the number of bits of the first data, the priority of the first data, etc., and determine whether to trigger the first operation in combination with the preconfigured measurement interval. Of course, the AI module can also send indication information to the base station, indicating the measurement interval that needs to be adjusted, how to adjust the measurement interval, and the data that needs to be deleted. It should be understood that the AI module can be used to predict the situation of uplink data of the terminal device, and can also be used to predict the situation of downlink data of the base station, so as to more accurately determine whether to perform the first operation and how to perform the first operation.

[0089] In some implementations, the AI module can also be used to predict the quality of the wireless signal and compare it with the threshold configured by the base station. If it is close to the threshold, the measurement of the GAP is preferred; otherwise, the transmission of the first data is preferred.

[0090] For example, the AI module is on the terminal device side, and the terminal device can determine whether the measurement of the GAP is preferred or the transmission of the first data is preferred according to the prediction result of the AI module, and then decide whether to notify the base station. If the GAP measurement is performed, the terminal device can not notify the base station, and if the transmission of the first data is performed, the terminal device notifies the base station.

[0091] For example, the AI module is located at the base station side. The base station determines the measurement priority of the GAP or the transmission priority of the first data according to the prediction result of the AI module. If the GAP measurement is performed, the base station can not notify the terminal device. If the transmission of the first data is performed, the base station can notify the terminal device.

[0092] In some other implementations, the AI module can also be used at the terminal device side. For example, the AI module can determine whether to send second information to the base station to request the base station to perform the first operation. The AI module can trigger the second information based on the first condition, which is the same as the triggering manner in Embodiment 2, and details are not repeated here.

[0093] It should be noted that the AI module can predict the number of bits of the first data, the priority of the first data, and the like, and determine whether to send the second information to the base station in combination with the preconfigured measurement interval. Of course, the second information can also be used to indicate the measurement interval that needs to be adjusted, how to adjust the measurement interval, and the data that needs to be deleted. It should be understood that the AI module can be used to predict the uplink data of the terminal device, and can also be used to predict the downlink data of the base station, so that whether the first operation is performed and how to perform the first operation can be determined more accurately.
