[0058] An introduction to Measurement Gap (MG):

[0059] Terminal devices perform measurements on neighboring cells within measurement gaps configured by network equipment (e.g., base stations) to facilitate cell handover or redirection. The measurement gap configurations currently supported in the NR system are shown in Table 1. The Measurement Gap Repetition Period (MGRP) represents the periodicity of measurement gap occurrences, and the Measurement Gap Length (MGL) is the length of the measurement gap performed by the terminal device within each period. During measurement gaps, the terminal device needs to switch to the frequency of a neighboring cell to receive measurement signals and cannot transmit or receive data within its current serving cell.

[0060] Table 1

[0061] Measurement gaps can be of many types, such as measurement gaps (MGs) configured for different terminal devices (per-UE), measurement gaps (MGs) configured for different frequency ranges (per-FR), network controlled small gaps (NCSG), etc. This application does not limit the type of measurement gap; they can all be referred to as MGs in this application. Furthermore, situations where measurement prevents the terminal device from transmitting data may also include scheduling restrictions, which can also be uniformly handled in this application with reference to MGs.

[0062] An introduction to extended reality (XR) services:

[0063] XR services are quasi-periodic, and as mentioned earlier, MG (Measurement Gauge) configuration is also periodic. When the arrival time of an XR service falls within the measurement period of the MG cycle, the terminal device cannot transmit or receive data. It must wait until the MG measurement ends and the frequency switches back to the serving cell before the terminal device can transmit XR data. Since XR services are typically low-latency, waiting for the MG to end before transmission may exceed the latency requirements of the XR service, leading to reduced XR capacity. Therefore, it is currently necessary to allow terminal devices to skip certain measurement gaps / restrictions, enabling normal data transmission and reception within these gaps / restrictions, thereby improving XR service capacity.

[0064] Furthermore, current XR service research agrees that the network side can use dynamic signaling to indicate whether a gap / restriction is skipped. Specifically, this is achieved by adding a one-bit indication to the scheduling downlink control information (DCI) to indicate the gap / restriction corresponding to that DCI. The relevant conclusions are as follows:

[0065] • At least for the self-scheduling case, for explicit indication by DCI to skip particular gap / restriction, one bit indication is included as part of DCI formats 0_1 / 1_1 and 0_2 / 1_2.

[0066] • Higher layers can configure explicit indications for each DCI format individually.

[0067] In the case of cross-carrier scheduling, in order for the DCI to explicitly indicate skipping a particular gap / restriction, one bit indication included as a part of DCI formats 0_1 / 1_1 and 0_2 / 1_2 corresponds to a scheduled cell.

[0068] Based on the preceding information, the following two issues currently exist:

[0069] Problem 1: A later DCI indicates that earlier measurement resources are skipped. For example, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a measurement arrangement provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 1, the terminal device first receives DCI 1, determines that gap / restriction 2 is skipped, and then the terminal device begins arranging measurements after gap / restriction 2, such as planning which gaps / restrictions to measure according to measurement requirements. However, the terminal device subsequently receives DCI 2, which indicates that gap / restriction 1 is skipped. Therefore, the measurement planning results after gap / restriction 2 already completed by the terminal device will become invalid, and the measurements after gap / restriction 1 need to be re-arranged. This processing method will significantly affect the implementation of the terminal device.

[0070] Question 2: The NR system defines various DCI-unscheduled Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmissions, for example:

[0071] • The DCI format 0_1 ​​indicates downlink feedback information (DFI);

[0072] • The DCI format indicates a request for a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook report without scheduling a PDSCH reception on one or more serving cells.

[0073] • The DCI format indicates that the secondary cell (SCell) is dormant without scheduling a PDSCH reception on the serving cell.

[0074] • The DCI format indicates a TCI state update without scheduling PDSCH reception.

[0075] In this case, the interpretation of the scheduling carrier corresponding to the DCI may be ambiguous. For example, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of DCI scheduling provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 2, a DCI format is transmitted within SCell 2 without scheduling any PDSCH. This DCI triggers the terminal device to send HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the Primary Cell (PCell), Scell ​​1, and Scell ​​2. This HARQ-ACK information is transmitted through the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) on the Pcell. Therefore, the scheduling carrier corresponding to this DCI may be interpreted differently from different perspectives. The communication protocol needs to be clearly defined to ensure that the base station and terminal device have a unified understanding of the indication information.

[0076] Understanding 1: From the perspective of HARQ-ACK information, this DCI schedules PCell, Scell ​​1, and Scell ​​2, so the indication information in this DCI corresponds to gap 1 and gap 2.

[0077] Understanding 2: From the perspective of PUCCH transmission, if the DCI schedules PCell, then the indication information within the DCI corresponds to gap 1.

[0078] Understanding 3: From the perspective of PDCCH transmission, if the DCI schedules SCell 2, then the indication information within the DCI corresponds to gap 2.

[0079] The method provided in this application involves a terminal device receiving a first information instruction to cancel a first measurement resource. The first measurement resource follows a second measurement resource, which is then canceled by a second information instruction. The first information follows the second information. This allows the cancellation of a subsequent first measurement resource by a later first information instruction and the cancellation of an earlier second measurement resource by a preceding second information instruction, thus preventing the second measurement resource with a later first information instruction from being skipped, thereby solving the aforementioned problem 1.

[0080] The terminal device determines the cancellation of the first measurement resource based on the first information: if the first information includes a frequency domain indication field, the first measurement resource is determined based on the indication result of the frequency domain indication field; if the first information does not include a frequency domain indication field, the first measurement resource is determined based on the frequency domain unit carrying the first information. This allows for a clear definition of the correspondence between the first information and the measurement resource it indicates to be cancelled, thereby solving the aforementioned problem 2.

[0081] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of a communication system 300 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The system architecture may include: terminal device 10, access network device 20, and core network device 30.

[0082] Terminal equipment 10 can refer to UE (User Equipment), access terminal equipment, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal equipment, mobile device, wireless communication equipment, user agent, or user device. Optionally, terminal equipment can also be a cellular phone, cordless phone, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) phone, WLL (Wireless Local Loop) station, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), handheld device with wireless communication function, computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, terminal equipment in 5GS (5th Generation System), or terminal equipment in the future evolved PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network), etc., and this application embodiment is not limited thereto. For ease of description, the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as terminal equipment.

[0083] It should be noted that there are usually multiple terminal devices 10, and one or more terminal devices 10 can be distributed within the cell managed by each access network device 20. Furthermore, one or more terminal devices 10 can also be distributed outside the cell managed by the access network device 20. Different terminal devices 10 can communicate with each other via sidelinks.

[0084] Access network device 20 is a device deployed in an access network to provide wireless communication functionality to terminal device 10. Access network device 20 may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. In systems employing different wireless access technologies, the name of the device with access network device functionality may differ; for example, in a 5G NR system, it is called gNodeB or gNB. As communication technologies evolve, the name "access network device" may change. For ease of description, in this embodiment, the aforementioned devices providing wireless communication functionality to terminal device 10 are collectively referred to as access network devices. Optionally, a communication relationship can be established between terminal device 10 and core network device 30 through access network device 20. For example, in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, access network device 20 may be one or more eNodeBs within an EUTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) or EUTRAN; in a 5G NR system, access network device 20 may be one or more gNBs within an RAN (Radio Access Network).

[0085] The core network equipment 30 primarily functions to provide user connectivity, manage users, and bear services, serving as an interface to external networks. For example, core network equipment in a 5G NR system may include AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) entities, UPF (User Plane Function) entities, and SMF (Session Management Function) entities. Access network equipment 20 and core network equipment 30 can be collectively referred to as network equipment.

[0086] In one example, access network device 20 and core network device 30 communicate with each other via some over-the-air technology, such as the NG interface in a 5G NR system. Access network device 20 and terminal device 10 communicate with each other via some over-the-air technology, such as the Uu interface. Terminal devices 10 communicate with each other via some over-the-air technology, such as the PC5 interface.

[0087] Figure 4 is a flowchart of a method for determining measurement resources provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal device. The method includes:

[0088] Step 402: Receive first information, which is used to indicate the cancellation of the first measurement resource.

[0089] The first measurement resource includes resources for the terminal equipment to perform cell measurements. The first measurement resource follows the second measurement resource, which also includes resources for the terminal equipment to perform cell measurements. Optionally, the first measurement resource following the second measurement resource includes at least one of the following: the start position of the first measurement resource in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the start position of the second measurement resource in the time domain; the end position of the first measurement resource in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the end position of the second measurement resource in the time domain; the end position of the first measurement resource in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the start position of the second measurement resource in the time domain; and the start position of the first measurement resource in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the end position of the second measurement resource in the time domain.

[0090] The second measurement resource is cancelled by a second information indication, meaning the second information is used to indicate the cancellation of the second measurement resource. In some embodiments, the first information and the second information are of the same type. In some embodiments, the first information includes a first DCI, and the second information includes a second DCI. The first information follows the second information. Optionally, the first information following the second information includes at least one of the following: the start position of the first information in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the start position of the second information in the time domain; the end position of the first information in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the end position of the second information in the time domain; the end position of the first information in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the start position of the second information in the time domain; and the start position of the first information in the time domain is later than or no earlier than the end position of the second information in the time domain.

[0091] In some embodiments, the terminal device receives the second information before receiving the first information. For example, if the terminal device receives the second information, it can receive the first information after the second information. In some embodiments, the terminal device can also receive a third information after receiving the first information, which is used to indicate the cancellation of a third measurement resource. The third measurement resource is after the first measurement resource, and the third information is after the first information. The description of the third information is similar to that of the first and second information, and will not be repeated here.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first measurement resource includes at least one of the following: a first measurement gap; a first constraint; at least one first time-domain symbol; and at least one first time slot. The second measurement resource includes at least one of the following: a second measurement gap; a second constraint; at least one second time-domain symbol; and at least one second time slot.

[0093] The first and second restrictions refer to scheduling and / or transmission interruptions caused by measurement, and / or scheduling and / or transmission restrictions, such as scheduling restrictions and / or transmission restrictions. The first restriction includes first scheduling restriction resources and / or first transmission restriction resources, and the second restriction includes second scheduling restriction resources and / or second transmission restriction resources. The first scheduling restriction resources include resources that cause scheduling interruptions by measurement, and the first transmission restriction resources include resources that cause transmission interruptions by measurement. The second scheduling restriction resources include resources that cause scheduling interruptions by measurement, and the second transmission restriction resources include resources that cause transmission interruptions by measurement.

[0094] In some embodiments, canceling the first measurement resource includes at least one of the following: skipping the first measurement resource; dropping the first measurement resource; invalidating the first measurement resource; not performing measurement operations in the first measurement resource; or allowing information transmission in the first measurement resource. This can also be understood as canceling the first measurement resource. Canceling the second measurement resource includes at least one of the following: skipping the second measurement resource; dropping the second measurement resource; invalidating the second measurement resource; not performing measurement operations in the second measurement resource; or allowing information transmission in the second measurement resource. This can also be understood as canceling the second measurement resource. In some embodiments, information transmission is used to transmit at least one of the following information: PDSCH; PUSCH; Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); PUCCH; Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS). Allowing information transmission includes allowing information transmission and / or reception, which can be understood as allowing transmission / reception in the measurement gap / restriction.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first measurement resource follows the second measurement resource, including at least one of the following situations: the start position of the first measurement resource is after the end position of the second measurement resource; the start position of the first measurement resource is not earlier than the end position of the second measurement resource; the start position of the first measurement resource is after the start position of the second measurement resource; the start position of the first measurement resource is not earlier than the start position of the second measurement resource; the end position of the first measurement resource is after the start position of the second measurement resource; the end position of the first measurement resource is not earlier than the start position of the second measurement resource.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource are applied to the same frequency domain resource. In some embodiments, the frequency domain resource includes at least one of the following: carrier; cell; bandwidth part (BWP); frequency domain cell set. It should be noted that if the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource are applied to completely different frequency domain resources, the order of the first and second information will not cause the terminal device to re-plan the measurement of the same frequency domain resource. Conversely, it will cause the terminal device to re-plan the measurement of the same frequency domain resource. For example, the first measurement resource is applied to carriers / cells 1 and 2, and the second measurement resource is applied to carriers / cells 2 and 3. Then, skipping either of these two measurement resources will trigger a re-planning of the measurement on carrier / cell 2.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first information following the second information includes at least one of the following situations: the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is after the end position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the second information; the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is not earlier than the end position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the second information; the start position of the channel carrying the first information is after the end position of the channel carrying the second information; the start position of the channel carrying the first information is not earlier than the end position of the channel carrying the second information; the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is after the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the second information; the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is not earlier than the end position of the channel carrying the second information; the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is after the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the second information; the start position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is not earlier than the end position of the channel carrying the second information. The starting position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is earlier than the starting position of the channel carrying the second information; the starting position of the channel carrying the first information is after the starting position of the channel carrying the second information; the starting position of the channel carrying the first information is not earlier than the starting position of the channel carrying the second information; the ending position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is after the ending position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the second information; the ending position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the first information is not earlier than the ending position of the time-domain symbol occupied by the second information; the ending position of the channel carrying the first information is after the ending position of the channel carrying the second information; the ending position of the channel carrying the first information is not earlier than the ending position of the channel carrying the second information.

[0098] In some embodiments, the first information is a first DCI, and the channel carrying the first information includes a PDCCH. In some embodiments, the second information is a second DCI, and the channel carrying the second information includes a PDCCH.

[0099] In some embodiments, the method provided in this application can also be understood as follows: if the terminal device receives a second DCI instruction to cancel the second measurement resource, the terminal device receives a first DCI instruction to cancel the first measurement resource. The first measurement resource is after the second measurement resource, and the first DCI is after the second DCI.

[0100] In some embodiments, the method provided in this application can also be understood as follows: if a terminal device receives a first DCI instruction to cancel a first measurement resource, the terminal device does not expect to be instructed to cancel a second measurement resource via a second DCI, wherein the second measurement resource is earlier than or no later than the first measurement resource, and the end of the second DCI is later than the first DCI (if a UE is indicated to skip a first gap / restriction by a first DCI, the UE is not expected to be indicated to skip a second gap / restriction starting earlier than the first gap / restriction by a second DCI that ends later than the first DCI).

[0101] In some embodiments, the method provided in this application can also be understood as follows: if a terminal device receives a first DCI instruction to cancel a first measurement resource, the terminal device does not expect to receive a second DCI instruction to cancel a second measurement resource, wherein the second measurement resource is earlier than or no later than the first measurement resource, and the end of the second DCI is later than the first DCI (if a UE is indicated to skip a first gap / restriction by a first DCI, the UE is not expected to receive a second DCI that ends later than the first DCI and indicates to skip a second gap / restriction starting earlier than the first gap / restriction).

[0102] It should be noted that the methods provided in this application embodiment can be implemented alone or in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG5, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0103] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment, by receiving first information after the second information, and since the first information is used to indicate the cancellation of the first measurement resource after the second measurement resource, and the second measurement resource is indicated for cancellation by the second information, can achieve the goal of indicating the cancellation of the subsequent first measurement resource by the later first information and indicating the cancellation of the earlier second measurement resource by the earlier second information, thus preventing the cancellation of the second measurement resource indicated by the later first information.

[0104] The method provided in this embodiment also offers cancellation methods for different types of measurement resources by canceling different types of measurement resources. By allowing information transmission within the canceled measurement resources, the flexibility of information transmission by the terminal device is improved, thereby meeting the needs of the terminal device's services. By placing the first measurement resource after the second measurement resource and the first information after the second information, the cancellation of measurement resources where later information indicates earlier information can be avoided. By applying the first and second measurement resources to the same frequency domain resources, the cancellation of measurement resources where later information indicates earlier information can be avoided in scenarios where the terminal device needs to re-plan measurements on the measurement resources.

[0105] Figure 5 is a flowchart of a method for determining measurement resources provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal device. The method includes:

[0106] Step 502: Determine to cancel the first measurement resource based on the first information, whereby the first information is used to indicate the cancellation of the first measurement resource.

[0107] The first measurement resource includes resources for the terminal equipment to perform cell measurements. In some embodiments, the first information includes a first DCI. In some embodiments, the first measurement resource includes at least one of the following: a first measurement gap; a first constraint; at least one first time-domain symbol; and at least one first time slot.

[0108] The first limitation refers to scheduling and / or transmission interruptions caused by measurement, and / or scheduling restrictions and / or transmission restrictions, such as including scheduling restrictions and / or transmission restrictions. The first limitation includes first scheduling restriction resources and / or first transmission restriction resources, the first scheduling restriction resources including resources that cause scheduling interruptions by measurement, and the first transmission restriction resources including resources that cause transmission interruptions by measurement.

[0109] In some embodiments, canceling the first measurement resource includes at least one of the following: skipping the first measurement resource; dropping the first measurement resource; invalidating the first measurement resource; not performing measurement operations in the first measurement resource; or allowing information transmission in the first measurement resource. It can also be directly understood as canceling the first measurement resource. In some embodiments, information transmission is used to transmit at least one of the following information: PDSCH; PUSCH; PDCCH; PUCCH; CSI-RS.

[0110] If the first information includes a frequency domain indication field, the frequency domain indication field is used to determine the first measurement resource, that is, the terminal device can determine the first measurement resource based on the frequency domain indication field; if the first information does not include a frequency domain indication field, the first frequency domain unit is used to determine the first measurement resource, that is, the terminal device can determine the first measurement resource based on the first frequency domain unit. The first frequency domain unit is the frequency domain unit used when transmitting the first information, and the first information is transmitted within the first frequency domain unit.

[0111] For cases where the first information includes a frequency domain indicator:

[0112] In some embodiments, the frequency domain indication field includes at least one of the following: a carrier indicator field (CIF); a cell indicator field; and a BWP indicator field. The cell indicator field is equivalent to / can be replaced by a scheduled cell set indicator / scheduled cells indicator, and the BWP indicator field is equivalent to / can be replaced by a BWP indicator (Bandwidth part indicator). In some embodiments, the terminal device determines a first measurement resource based on the indication result of the frequency domain indication field.

[0113] In some embodiments, the frequency domain indicator field is used to indicate a second frequency domain unit, which may include one or more frequency domain units, and the first measurement resource is a measurement resource applied to the second frequency domain unit. In some embodiments, the frequency domain indicator field is used to indicate the second frequency domain unit, and the first measurement resource is a first measurement resource applied to the second frequency domain unit that satisfies a time constraint. In some embodiments, the time constraint includes a time domain position located after a time offset.

[0114] For example, continuing to refer to Figure 2, if the DCI includes CIF=0, i.e., Pcell, then the first measurement resource is the measurement resource applied to Pcell, which is gap 1. Further, the first measurement resource is the first measurement resource applied to Pcell that satisfies the time constraint condition.

[0115] For cases where the first information does not include the frequency domain indicator:

[0116] In some embodiments, the first frequency domain unit belongs to at least one of a carrier, a cell, and a BWP. The first measurement resource determined by the terminal device based on the first frequency domain unit belongs to at least one of a carrier, a cell, and a BWP.

[0117] In some embodiments, the first measurement resource is a measurement resource applied to the first frequency domain unit. In some embodiments, the first measurement resource is a first measurement resource applied to the first frequency domain unit that satisfies a time constraint. In some embodiments, the time constraint includes a time domain location located after a time offset.

[0118] For example, continuing to refer to Figure 2, the DCI is transmitted on Scell ​​2. If there is no CIF in the DCI, then the first frequency domain resource is the measurement resource applied to Scell ​​2, i.e., gap 2. Further, the first measurement resource is the first measurement resource applied to Scell ​​2 that satisfies the time constraint condition.

[0119] It should be noted that the terminal device can also determine to cancel the second measurement resource based on the second information, which is used to indicate the cancellation of the second measurement resource. For a description of the first and second information, as well as the first and second measurement resources, please refer to the embodiment shown in Figure 4; this application embodiment will not repeat this detail. Furthermore, for the process of determining to cancel the second measurement resource based on the second information, please refer to the description of the process of determining to cancel the first measurement resource based on the first information in this application embodiment; this application embodiment will not repeat this detail.

[0120] In some embodiments, the method provided in this application can also be understood as follows: the terminal device determines to cancel the first measurement resource based on the first DCI. If the first DCI includes CIF, the first measurement resource is determined based on the indication result of CIF; if the first DCI does not include CIF, the first measurement resource is determined based on the carrier carrying the first DCI.

[0121] In some embodiments, the method provided in this application can also be understood as follows: An indication field in a DCI format indicates to skip a measurement gap / restriction corresponding to a (scheduled) cell.

[0122] • If the DCI format does not have a CIF, then the (scheduled) cell is the cell receiving the DCI format.

[0123] • If the DCI format includes a carrier indicator field, the (scheduled) cell is indicated by a value of the carrier indicator field.

[0124] It should be noted that the methods provided in this application embodiment can be implemented alone or in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG4, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0125] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment can clearly define the correspondence between the first information and the measurement resource to be cancelled by determining the first measurement resource to be cancelled based on the frequency domain indication domain when the first information includes the frequency domain indication domain, and by determining the first measurement resource to be cancelled based on the frequency domain unit used when transmitting the first information when the first information does not include the frequency domain indication domain.

[0126] The method provided in this embodiment further indicates a second frequency domain unit through the frequency domain indication field of the first information, so as to determine the canceled first measurement resource on the second frequency domain unit. This enables the explicit definition of the correspondence between the first information and the measurement resource it indicates to be canceled, even when the first information includes the frequency domain indication field. By determining the canceled first measurement resource on the first frequency domain unit carrying the first information, the explicit definition of the correspondence between the first information and the measurement resource it indicates to be canceled, even when the first information does not include the frequency domain indication field, is achieved.
