[0002] The Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) is a key component of the 5G New Radio (NR) network, used for cell search and synchronization. It consists of a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), helping the User Equipment (UE) determine the cell's time and frequency synchronization. The SSB is transmitted at the physical layer (L1 layer), enabling the UE to identify and access the network.

[0003] In 5G networks, SSBs can be either always-on synchronization blocks (AO-SSB) or on-demand synchronization blocks (OD-SSB). The latter allows the network to dynamically send SSBs under specific conditions to optimize resource allocation and improve network efficiency. In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), Network Energy Saving (NES) enhancements target OD-SSBs for secondary cells (SCells). To support OD-SSB SCell operations for UEs configured with Carrier Aggregation (CA), both intra-band and inter-band CAs require specific procedures and signaling methods to meet network energy saving requirements during communication.

Therefore, in order to achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application need to clarify how the wireless side of the wireless communication network will configure and schedule related resources for OD-SSB L1 / L3-based measurements.

AO-SSB measurement using the SMTC window: If there is partial overlap between OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window, and the starting position of OD-SSB measurement is before the starting position of AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window, only OD-SSB measurement or AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window is performed; if there is overlap between OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window, and the starting position of OD-SSB measurement is after or the same as the starting position of AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window, only OD-SSB measurement or AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window is performed.

[0087] In one embodiment, when measurements are performed based on the configuration information of the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window, and there is overlap or partial overlap with measurements based on the traditional SMTC window, the measurement method according to the first configuration information includes at least one of the following: when the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window overlaps or partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, perform relevant measurements based on the configured priority; when the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window overlaps or partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, perform only the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement; when the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window overlaps or partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, perform only the traditional SMTC window measurement; when the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, and the starting position of the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement is at the traditional SMT... If the measurement starts before the position of the C window, only the SMTC window measurement of the dedicated OD-SSB or the traditional SMTC window measurement will be performed. If the SMTC window of the dedicated OD-SSB overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, and the starting position of the SMTC window measurement of the dedicated OD-SSB is after or the same as the starting position of the traditional SMTC window measurement, only the SMTC window measurement of the dedicated OD-SSB or the traditional SMTC window measurement will be performed. If the SMTC window of the dedicated OD-SSB overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, and the SMTC window of the dedicated OD-SSB contains the traditional SMTC window, only the SMTC window measurement of the dedicated OD-SSB will be performed. If the SMTC window of the dedicated OD-SSB overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, and the traditional SMTC window contains the SMTC window of the dedicated OD-SSB, only the traditional SMTC window measurement will be performed.

[0088] In some examples, the above-mentioned OD-SSB supports the indication of Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements at the network layer, and the configuration information of the SSB measurement timing configuration SMTC window of the dedicated OD-SSB can be included in the configuration information of the OD-SSB. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0089] In one embodiment, the configuration information of OD-SSB also includes: AO-SSB-based ignore state information in SCell.

[0090] In one embodiment, the AO-SSB-based ignore state information in the SCell includes at least one of the following: an indication to indicate ignoring the AO-SSB-based network layer RRM measurement results in the SCell; an indication to indicate not ignoring the AO-SSB-based network layer RRM measurement results in the SCell; an indication to indicate performing the AO-SSB-based network layer RRM measurement in the SCell; and an indication to indicate not performing the AO-SSB-based network layer RRM measurement in the SCell.

[0091] In one example, when it is determined, based on the AO-SSB-based ignore status information in the SCell, to ignore the AO-SSB-based network layer RRM measurement results in the SCell, or not to perform AO-SSB-based network layer measurements in the SCell, the second communication node will report the OD-SSB-based measurement report according to the trigger event or period configured in the OD-SSB configuration information. However, if it is determined, based on the AO-SSB-based ignore status information in the SCell, not to ignore the AO-SSB-based network layer RRM measurement results in the SCell, or to perform AO-SSB-based network layer RRM measurements in the SCell, and if only OD-SSB measurement reports exist, the second communication node still only needs to report the OD-SSB-based measurement report according to the trigger event or period configured in the OD-SSB configuration information.

[0092] In one embodiment, when determining not to ignore the network layer RRM measurement results based on AO-SSB in the SCell based on the AO-SSB-based ignore status information in the SCell, or performing network layer RRM measurement based on AO-SSB in the SCell, if measurement reports based on AO-SSB and OD-SSB exist respectively, the method for sending the measurement reports includes at least one of the following: reporting measurement reports based on AO-SSB and OD-SSB respectively; selecting to report AO-SSB or OD-SSB measurement reports based on the second communication node; selecting to report AO-SSB or OD-SSB measurement reports based on the comparison measurement results and parameters; and selecting to upload the latest measurement report based on the new and old times of the AO-SSB and OD-SSB measurement reports.

[0093] In one embodiment, the measurement report includes at least one of the following: measurement identification information; SCell index information; physical cell identification information; OD-SSB index; OD-SSB measurement results of the SCell cell; measured OD-SSB signal strength; measured OD-SSB quality information; SCell handover candidate cell list; event triggering time type; SCell cell-level measurement results based on OD-SSB related measurements; and beam-level measurement results based on OD-SSB related measurements.

[0094] In one embodiment, the second communication node is a terminal in non-connection mode (RRC-IDLE state / RRC-inactive state) or a terminal in connection mode.

[0095] In one exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 is a flowchart of an information configuration method provided by an embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to configuring application layer measurement reports that can be transmitted in a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) in a wireless communication system. The method can be executed by an information configuration device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware and integrated on a communication node. This method can be applied to a first communication node, which can be a communication node in a wireless communication system used to send configuration information to other communication nodes within the cell, such as a base station. Alternatively, it can be a corresponding execution entity selected and set by those skilled in the art according to the actual application scenario; this embodiment of the application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0096] As shown in Figure 3, the information configuration method provided in this application embodiment includes S301.

[0098] The second configuration information includes at least one of the following: an indication for instructing the SRB to transmit only encapsulated application layer measurement reports; an indication for instructing the SRB to transmit both encapsulated application layer reports and RAN-visible application layer measurement reports; and an indication for instructing the SRB to transmit at least encapsulated application layer measurement reports.

[0099] In one embodiment, if the second configuration information is unavailable or the default transmission of RAN-Visible Application Layer Measurement Reports (SRB4) (i.e., RAN-VisibleReportingSRB does not exist), the RAN-Visible Application Layer Measurement Reports are discarded.

[0100] The information configuration method of this application is illustrated below through some exemplary solutions. In each of the following exemplary solutions, the first and second cases given in the above embodiments, as well as the first to fourth scenarios, are used for scenario description. At the same time, gNB is used to refer to the first communication node, and UE is used to refer to the second communication node.

[0101] Solution 1: An example is given of a gNB sending the first configuration information to the UE as an indication that OD-SSB supports network layer RRM measurement.

[0102] Based on the above-described situations and scenario classifications, the support information corresponding to the indication that OD-SSB supports RRM measurement at the network layer may include at least one of the following: In the first case, whether the OD-SSB configured by SCell supports RRM measurement at the L3 layer; In the first scenario, second scenario, third scenario, and / or fourth scenario of the first case, whether the OD-SSB configured by SCell supports RRM measurement at the L3 layer; In the second case, whether the OD-SSB configured by SCell supports RRM processing at the L3 layer; In the first scenario, second scenario, third scenario, and / or fourth scenario of the second case, whether the OD-SSB configured by SCell supports RRM measurement at the L3 layer.

[0105] The implicit method includes at least one of the following: when OD-SSB configuration information is included in the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or OD-SSB dedicated configuration information, the implicit indication applies only to L1 / L3 layer RRM measurements in the first case or certain scenarios of the first case; when OD-SSB configuration information is included in the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or OD-SSB dedicated configuration information, the implicit indication does not apply to L3 layer RRM measurements in the second case or certain scenarios of the second case; when OD-SSB configuration information is included in the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or OD-SSB dedicated configuration information, the implicit indication applies only to L1 layer RRM measurements in the second case or certain scenarios of the second case.

[0106] Option 2: An example of L1 layer measurement of OD-SSB based on the first case or the second case that does not support L3 layer measurement is given.

[0107] Figure 5 is an example diagram of a measurement process for L1 layer based on OD-SSB provided in an embodiment of this application. The L1 layer measurement process based on OD-SSB is shown in Figure 5 in either the first case (SCell) or the second case (L3 layer measurement not supported). Figure 6 is an example diagram of a configuration timing diagram for first configuration information provided in an embodiment of this application, showing how the base station sends configuration information about OD-SSB to the terminal. As shown in Figure 6, the above sending method includes at least one of the following: included in SCell configuration information, included in frequency band configuration information, or included in dedicated configuration information for OD-SSB.

[0108] The OD-SSB configuration information sent above includes at least one of the following: SCell index information; SSB subcarrier spacing information (only the following values ​​are applicable: FR1: 15 or 30kHz, FR2-1: 120 or 240kHz, FR2-2: 120, 480, or 960kHz); OD-SSB dedicated configuration ID information; OD-SSB index information; OD-SSB configuration ID information; OD-SSB physical cell ID information; measurement ID information; OD-SSB period information, such as: 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 160ms, 320ms, 640ms; thresholds for selecting AO-SSB and OD-SSB measurement reports; wherein the thresholds include at least one of the following: signal strength, quality information; methods for indicating the selection of AO-SSB and OD-SSB measurement report reporting; wherein the reporting methods include at least one of the following: reporting AO-SSB and OD-SSB measurement reports separately, reporting AO-SSB measurement reports, reporting OD-SSB measurement reports, selecting measurement reports based on configured thresholds, and reporting new reports based on the old and new times of measurement reports. ; OD-ss-PBCH-BlockPower is the average equivalent radiated power (EPRE) of the resource element carrying the secondary synchronization signal (SSS) when the network transmits on-demand synchronization signal blocks, in dBm; OD-ssb-PositionsInBurst refers to the time-domain position of the on-demand synchronization signal block transmitted in an SSB; OD-ssb-Frequency indicates the frequency of the SSB; OD-SSB pattern is a three-choice option, corresponding to 4 / 8 / 64 SSBs respectively; nrofOD-SS-BlocksToAverage refers to the maximum average number of measurements based on SS / PBCH blocks for each beam; absThreshOD-SS-BlocksConsolidation is used to integrate measurements from the physical layer (L1) filter. It defines an absolute threshold, and only when the measurement result of the SS / PBCH block exceeds this threshold will it be considered for subsequent measurement result integration and reporting; deriveOD-SSB-IndexFromCell helps the terminal derive the synchronization signal block (SSB) index between cells on the same frequency carrier; OD-SS-RSSI-Measurement is used to configure the received signal strength indication (RSSI) measurement based on the synchronization reference signal, and includes two parameters: measurementSlots and endSymbol.measurementSlots indicates the time slots in which the UE can perform RSSI measurements, while endSymbol defines the symbol range for measurements within these time slots; measurement report information: the type of triggering event, the measurement quantity to be reported in the report, the type of report period or event trigger, indicating the number of Rx-Tx time difference measurement reports for the UE, and indicating the period of periodic reports; measurement interval configuration information: the offset of the gap mode, the length of the measurement gap, the period of measurement repetition, and the timing advance of the measurement gap; an indication for indicating OD-SSB configuration suitable for OD-SSB measurements in non-connected mode; wherein, non-connected mode includes at least one of the following: idle mode and inactive mode.

[0109] Once the UE obtains the aforementioned OD-SSB configuration information, the UE can perform OD-SSB measurements based on the configured OD-SSB-specific SMTC window or the configured OD-SSB pattern. For example, during the OD-SSB-specific SMTC period, the UE will perform wireless link monitoring / radio resource management measurements on the configured OD-SSB.

[0110] In some examples, the configuration information of the dedicated OD-SSB's SMTC window can be sent to the UE by the gNB as shown in Figure 6, or the configuration information of the dedicated OD-SSB's SMTC window can be included in the configuration information of the OD-SSB as shown in Figure 6. The configuration information of the dedicated OD-SSB's SMTC window includes at least one of the following: the period of the measurement window, the offset, the time-domain location information of the on-demand synchronization signal block transmitted in an OD-SSB, the average equivalent radiated power (EPRE, in dBm) of a resource element carrying a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) during on-demand synchronization signal block transmission, a set of SSBs to be measured during the SMTC measurement duration, a list of physical cell identifiers, and the duration.

[0111] The UE determines whether to generate a measurement report based on configured event triggering conditions (such as signal strength exceeding or falling below a certain threshold). When the triggering conditions are met, the UE generates a measurement report and transmits it to the base station periodically or event-triggered via RRC signaling (e.g., MeasurementReport). The measurement report includes at least one of the following: measurement ID information, SCell index information, physical cell ID information, OD-SSB index, OD-SSB measurement results for the SCell cell, beam-level measurement results, and measured OD-SSB signal strength and quality information (e.g., RSRP, RSRQ).

[0112] Solution 3: An example of L1 / L3 layer measurement of OD-SSB based on the first case or the second case that supports L3 layer measurement is given.

[0113] Figure 7 is an example diagram of a measurement process for L1 / L3 layers based on OD-SSB provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 7, in the case of the first scenario (SCell being the first case) or the second scenario (supporting L3 layer measurement), the L1 / L3 layer measurement process based on OD-SSB is as follows:

[0114] The gNB sends configuration information about the OD-SSB to the UE, and the above sending method includes at least one of the following: included in the SCell configuration information, included in the frequency band configuration information, or included in the dedicated configuration information of the OD-SSB.

[0115] For the second scenario supporting L3 layer measurements, the SMTC window can be categorized into either a dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window or OD-SSB measurements performed based on the OD-SSB pattern, depending on whether a dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window is configured. The configuration information for a dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window includes at least one of the following: the measurement window period, offset, time-domain location information of on-demand synchronization signal blocks transmitted in an OD-SSB, the average equivalent radiated power (EPRE, in dBm) of resource elements carrying secondary synchronization signals (SSS) during on-demand synchronization signal block transmission, a set of SSBs to be measured during the SMTC measurement duration, a list of physical cell identifiers, and the duration.

[0116] In the two scenarios described above, where OD-SSB measurements are performed using a dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window or an OD-SSB pattern, the configured AO-SSB measurements can be categorized into ignoring AO-SSB-based measurements and not ignoring AO-SSB-based measurements. Figure 8 is a timing example diagram of the configuration of a first configuration information provided in an embodiment of this application. The first configuration information included in Figure 8 is the AO-SSB-based ignore status information in the SCell used to indicate whether to ignore the L3 layer measurement results based on AO-SSB or whether to perform L3 layer measurements based on AO-SSB. The AO-SSB-based ignore status information in the SCell can be included in the OD-SSB configuration information or exist at the same level as the OD-SSB configuration information.

[0117] As shown in Figure 8, the gNB indicates to the UE whether to ignore the L3 layer measurement results based on AO-SSB or whether to perform L3 layer measurement based on AO-SSB, either explicitly or implicitly. For explicit methods, at least one of the following is included: whether to ignore the L3 layer RRM measurement results based on AO-SSB in the SCell or whether to perform L3 layer RRM measurement based on AO-SSB in the SCell if the SCell configuration information includes the second case or certain scenarios of the second case; whether to ignore the L3 layer RRM measurement results based on AO-SSB in the SCell or whether to perform L3 layer RRM measurement based on AO-SSB in the SCell if the frequency band configuration information includes the second case or certain scenarios of the second case; whether to ignore the L3 layer RRM measurement results based on AO-SSB in the SCell or whether to perform L3 layer RRM measurement based on AO-SSB in the SCell if the dedicated configuration information of OD-SSB includes the second case or certain scenarios of the second case.

[0118] The implicit method includes at least one of the following: implicitly indicating that the RRM measurement results of the L3 layer based on AO-SSB in the SCell are ignored in the second case or certain scenarios of the second case when the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or dedicated configuration information of OD-SSB are included; or implicitly indicating that the RRM measurement of the L3 layer based on AO-SSB in the SCell is not performed in the second case or certain scenarios of the second case when the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or dedicated configuration information of OD-SSB are included.

[0119] Figure 9 is a timing flow example diagram of information configuration provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 9, in addition to sending the configuration information of the SMTC window of the AO-SSB based on the SCell and the dedicated OD-SSB to the UE, the gNB will also send configuration information about the OD-SSB. The configuration information of the OD-SSB is consistent with the configuration information of the OD-SSB shown in Scheme 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0120] When ignoring the L3 layer RRM measurement results based on AO-SSB in the SCell or not performing L3 layer RRM measurements based on AO-SSB in the SCell, the UE reports a measurement report based on OD-SSB based on the configured trigger event or period. Conversely, when not ignoring the L3 layer RRM measurement results based on AO-SSB in the SCell or performing L3 layer RRM measurements based on AO-SSB in the SCell, if there are both AO-SSB and OD-SSB measurement reports to be reported, the reporting method should include at least one of the following: reporting AO-SSB and OD-SSB measurement reports separately; selecting to report AO-SSB or OD-SSB measurement reports based on the terminal implementation; selecting to report AO-SSB or OD-SSB measurement reports based on the comparison measurement results and one or more parameters; selecting to report the latest report based on the new and old times of the AO-SSB and OD-SSB measurement reports.

[0121] Based on the configured event triggering conditions (such as signal strength exceeding or falling below a certain threshold, typically applied to handover, cell reselection, etc.), the UE determines whether to generate and send a measurement report. When the triggering conditions are met, the UE generates a measurement report and transmits it to the base station periodically or via RRC signaling (e.g., MeasurementReport) or event-triggered transmission. The measurement report contains at least one of the following: measurement ID information, SCell index information, physical cell ID information, OD-SSB index, OD-SSB measurement results of the SCell cell, measured OD-SSB signal strength, measured OD-SSB quality information (e.g., RSRP, RSRQ, etc.), SCell handover candidate cell list, event type of event triggering, SCell cell-level measurement results based on OD-SSB related measurements, and beam-level measurement results based on OD-SSB related measurements.

[0122] Solution 4: An example is given for handling the overlapping measurements based on OD-SSB and AO-SSB in Solution 2 and Solution 3.

[0123] In Schemes 2 and 3, the SMTC window can be categorized based on whether a dedicated OD-SSB is configured or not, into either an SMTC window based on a dedicated OD-SSB or an OD-SSB measurement performed based on an OD-SSB pattern. Since both AO-SSB and traditional SMTC windows have large periods, there may be overlap or partial overlap between the OD-SSB and dedicated OD-SSB SMTC windows.

[0124] For OD-SSB measurements performed based on the OD-SSB pattern, if there is overlap or partial overlap with AO-SSB measurements based on the traditional SMTC window, the method for handling the relevant SCell measurements includes at least one of the following: Performing the relevant measurements based on the configured priority when there is overlap or partial overlap between OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window; Performing only OD-SSB measurements when there is overlap or partial overlap between OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window; Performing only SMT measurements when there is overlap or partial overlap between OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window. AO-SSB measurement using window C: If there is partial overlap between OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window, and the starting position of OD-SSB measurement is before the starting position of AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window, only OD-SSB measurement or AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window is performed; If there is overlap between OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window, and the starting position of OD-SSB measurement is after or the same as the starting position of AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window, only OD-SSB measurement or AO-SSB measurement based on the traditional SMTC window is performed.

[0125] When measuring SMTC windows based on the configuration information of a dedicated OD-SSB, and when there is overlap or partial overlap with measurements based on a traditional SMTC window, the method for handling the relevant SCell measurements includes at least one of the following: When the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window overlaps or partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, perform the relevant measurements based on the configuration priority; when the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window overlaps or partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, perform only the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurements; when the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window overlaps or partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, perform only the traditional SMTC window measurements; when the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window partially overlaps with the traditional SMTC window, and the starting position of the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement is within the traditional SMTC window measurement... If the measurement starts before the specified position, only the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement or the traditional SMTC window measurement will be performed. If the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window and the traditional SMTC window overlap, and the starting position of the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement is after or the same as the starting position of the traditional SMTC window measurement, only the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement or the traditional SMTC window measurement will be performed. If the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window and the traditional SMTC window overlap, and the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window includes the traditional SMTC window, only the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement will be performed. If the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window and the traditional SMTC window overlap, and the traditional SMTC window includes the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window, only the traditional SMTC window measurement will be performed.

[0126] To enable the measurement method determined based on the above situation to be configured, Figure 10 is a configuration timing example diagram of the first configuration information provided in an embodiment of this application. The first configuration information included in Figure 10 is the processing OD-SSB and the AO-SSB based on the traditional SMTC window, which are used to indicate when the above measurements are repeated or partially repeated. The gNB explicitly instructs the UE how to handle the repeated measurements of OD-SSB and AO-SSB. The explicit method described above includes at least one of the following: The SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, dedicated OD-SSB configuration information, or serving cell configuration includes at least one of the following: a priority for OD-SSB-based measurements; a priority for AO-SSB measurements based on a traditional SMTC window; for example, priorities are ranked from lowest to highest, and when OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on a traditional SMTC window overlap or partially overlap, the terminal performs measurements based on the higher or lower priority; in cases where some SSBs do not have configured priorities, the SSBs with configured priorities are measured first; the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or dedicated OD-SSB configuration information includes an indication that, when OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on a traditional SMTC window overlap, the terminal is instructed to perform only OD-SSB measurements or perform AO-SSB measurements based on a traditional SMTC window; the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or dedicated OD-SSB configuration information includes an indication that, when OD-SSB and AO-SSB based on a traditional SMTC window partially overlap, measurements are performed based on the start... The location indicates that the terminal performs OD-SSB measurements and OD-SSB measurements based on traditional SMTC windows, for example, the measurement with the starting position is executed first; the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, dedicated OD-SSB configuration information, dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window configuration information, or serving cell configuration contains at least one of the following: a priority for SMTC window measurements based on dedicated OD-SSB, and a priority for measurements based on traditional SMTC windows. For example, the priorities are from low to high. When there is overlap or partial overlap between dedicated OD-SSB SMTC windows and traditional SMTC windows, the terminal performs measurements based on the higher or lower priority. In the case that some SMTC windows do not have a configured priority, the SMTC windows with configured priorities are measured first; the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, dedicated OD-SSB configuration information, or dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window configuration information contains an indication that, when there is overlap between dedicated OD-SSB SMTC windows and traditional SMTC windows, the terminal is instructed to perform measurements only using dedicated OD-SSB SMTC windows or to perform measurements using traditional SMTC windows.The SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, dedicated OD-SSB configuration information, or dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window configuration information may contain indication information. When there is partial overlap between the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window and the traditional SMTC window, the terminal is instructed to perform both the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement and the traditional SMTC window measurement based on the starting position. For example, the measurement is performed based on the starting position. Similarly, when the SCell configuration information, frequency band configuration information, dedicated OD-SSB configuration information, or dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window configuration information contain indication information, the terminal is instructed to perform both the dedicated OD-SSB SMTC window measurement and the traditional SMTC window measurement based on the window size. For example, the measurement is performed based on the larger window of the two.

[0127] Solution 5: Provides an example of the SRB indicator definition description for Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement reports in a new radio-dual connectivity (NR-DC) scenario.

[0128] In the standard, under the NR-DC scenario, QoE measurement reports, primarily referring to application layer measurement reports (Measurement Report App Layer), are transmitted on SRB4 or SRB5 by informing the UE through reported SRB indication information. The standard defines the reported SRB indication information as indicating the SRB used to transmit the encapsulated application layer measurement report. Considering that the current standard may include both encapsulated application layer measurement reports and RAN-visible application layer measurement reports within the application layer measurement report, the reported SRB indication information definition should include at least one of the following: an indication to instruct the SRB to transmit only the encapsulated application layer measurement report; an indication to instruct the SRB to transmit both the encapsulated application layer report and the RAN-visible application layer measurement report; or an indication to instruct the SRB to transmit at least the encapsulated application layer measurement report.

[0129] Furthermore, if the RAN-Visible Reporting SRB indication information is unavailable, the UE will discard the RAN-Visible application layer measurement report. Considering that in the current standard, both encapsulated application layer measurement reports and RAN-Visible application layer measurement reports are included in the application layer measurement report, the UE will also need to discard the RAN-Visible application layer measurement report included in the application layer measurement report if the QoE-reported SRB indication information (reporting SRB) or the default SRB4 for transmitting RAN-Visible application layer measurement reports (i.e., RAN-Visible Reporting SRB does not exist) is unavailable. If the SRB indicated by the SRB indication information and the RAN-Visible Reporting SRB indication information are the same, then the encapsulated application layer measurement report and the RAN-Visible application layer measurement report are included in the same application layer measurement report.

As shown in FIG11, the device includes: a first information sending module 410, used to send first configuration information to a second communication node.
