[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510387888.7, filed on March 27, 2025, entitled "A Measurement Method and Apparatus", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement method and apparatus. Background Technology
[0004] In wireless communication systems, terminal devices need to measure objects on a carrier according to a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF). The CSSF determines the measurement period of the terminal device for the objects on the carrier and also constrains the measurement capability of the terminal device, such as how many objects on carriers the terminal device can measure simultaneously. According to the CSSF configuration scheme in the existing protocol, the terminal device can measure objects on at most two carriers simultaneously, resulting in low measurement efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a measurement method and apparatus that enables a terminal device to simultaneously measure a measurement object on three carriers, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the terminal device and thus enhancing the communication quality and stability of the communication connection.
[0006] Firstly, a measurement method is provided, which can be applied to a second communication device, which can be a terminal device or a chip or module in the terminal device. Taking the second communication device as a terminal device as an example, the method includes: receiving first information, the first information being used to indicate multiple measurement objects, the multiple measurement objects including a first measurement object, a second measurement object, and a third measurement object; simultaneously performing measurements on the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object according to the first information; the first measurement object is a first type of measurement object on a primary component carrier (PCC) on a frequency range (FR) 1; the second measurement object is one of the following: a first type of measurement object on a secondary component carrier (SCC) on FR1, a first type of measurement object on an SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, a first type of measurement object of a different radio access technology (RAT) without measurement interval, or a first type of measurement object of a different frequency without measurement interval; the third measurement object is one of the following: a first type of measurement object on an SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, or a second type of measurement object.
[0007] In one possible interpretation, the terminal device simultaneously performs measurements on a first, second, and third measurement object. From the perspective of the terminal device's capabilities, this means the terminal device has three measurement channels (searchers), and the first, second, and third measurement objects each correspond to a different measurement channel. For example, the first measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 1, the second measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 2, and the third measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 3. It is understood that the naming of the measurement channels listed in the text is only used to distinguish the three different measurement channels and is not used to limit the size, content, order, timing, priority, or importance of the three measurement channels.
[0008] In one possible interpretation, the first type of measurement object typically refers to the measurement objects involved in the network's measurement configuration process for terminal devices, or ordinary measurement objects configured or indicated by the network (e.g., the first communication device). For example, the network may issue measurement configuration information via measurement configuration (measConfig) signaling, and the measurement objects indicated in this measurement configuration information belong to the first type of measurement object. The first type of measurement object falls under the category of routine network measurement indications and is the measurement task object explicitly defined by the network during initial setup or routine configuration. The second type of measurement object differs from the first type. The second type of measurement object is usually an object that needs to be measured with priority or acceleration. The configuration or indication method for the second type of measurement object is generally either individually or re-indicated by the network. When the network has special measurement requirements and needs certain measurement tasks to be completed with priority, it will specify these second type of measurement objects through individual indications.
[0009] In the above scheme, the terminal device can use three measurement channels for measurement (i.e., the terminal device simultaneously performs measurements on the first, second, and third measurement objects). Compared to using only two measurement channels, this effectively improves the measurement efficiency of the terminal device, thereby helping to improve the communication quality and stability of the communication connection. For example, in mobile scenarios, improving measurement efficiency can reduce cell handover latency and enhance connection stability in high-speed scenarios.
[0010] Furthermore, the above scheme clarifies which three measurement objects the terminal device can simultaneously measure; in other words, it clarifies the allocation method of each measurement object on the three measurement channels. Under this allocation method, when there are no second type of measurement objects, the first type of measurement object on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 exclusively occupies measurement channel 3. When there are second type of measurement objects, the second type of measurement objects and the first type of measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 share measurement channel 3. On the one hand, this ensures that the first type of measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 have higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency), continuing the previous design tendency to give higher measurement priority to measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2. On the other hand, when there are second type of measurement objects, this ensures that the second type of measurement objects also have higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency), better meeting the actual measurement needs of the network. In addition, when the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2 is placed on measurement channel 3, the resources originally occupied by the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2 on measurement channel 2 will be released, thereby speeding up the measurement speed of other measurement objects on measurement channel 2.
[0011] In one possible design, measurements are performed simultaneously on a first measurement object, a second measurement object, and a third measurement object based on first information, including: determining the carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) of the first measurement object, the CSSF of the second measurement object, and the CSSF of the third measurement object based on the first information; performing measurements on the first measurement object based on the CSSF of the first measurement object, performing measurements on the second measurement object based on the CSSF of the second measurement object, and performing measurements on the third measurement object based on the CSSF of the third measurement object.
[0012] The terminal device measures the object based on the CSSF of each object, which ensures the reliability of the measurement.
[0013] In one possible design, the carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: N' SCC_SSB +Y+Z+2*N' SCC_CSIRS -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM -N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND ;
[0014] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement on FR2 is: [J']×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0015] The CSCF of the second type of measurement object is: [J']×N SCC_NW_IND ;
[0016] Among them, N' SCC_SSB It is related to the number of secondary cells (SCells) that are only configured with layer (L)3 measurements based on (synchronization signal and PBCH block, SSB), and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCells that are only configured with L3 measurements based on SSB;
[0017] Y represents the number of different frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals;
[0018] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0019] N' SCC_CSIRSThe number of measurement objects on an SCC that has SSB and channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configured simultaneously without requiring neighbor cell measurements, or only configured with CSI-RS, is related to the number of second-type measurement objects on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously, or only configured with CSI-RS.
[0020] N SCC_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCell that is only configured with SSB-based L3 measurement, the number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or the number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is only configured with CSI-RS.
[0021] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0022] N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS;
[0023] The second type of measurement object is the measurement object on the SCC indicated by the network; when the measurement object on the SCC indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, J'=2; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on the SCC, or when the measurement object on the SCC indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, J'=1.
[0024] In a specific example:
[0025] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: N (for the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurements, the first type of measurement object with different RATs without measurement intervals, and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies without measurement intervals). SCC_SSB -N SCC_SSB_NW_IND +Y+Z+2*(N SCC_CSIRS -N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND )-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM -N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND ;
[0026] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 2*[J]×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0027] The CSCF of the second type of measurement object is: 2*[J]×(N) SCC_SSB_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND );
[0028] Where, N SCC_SSB The number of SCells configured only for SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0029] Y represents the number of different frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals;
[0030] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0031] N SCC_CSIRS The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured, or only CSI-RS configured, without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0032] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0033] N SCC_SSB_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on a SCell that is only configured with SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0034] N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS;
[0035] The second type of measurement object is the measurement object on the SCC indicated by the network; when the SCC indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, J=1; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on the SCC, or when the measurement object on the SCC indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, J=0.5.
[0036] Of course, the above is just one specific CSSF configuration example, and there can be other variations in practice.
[0037] Below are some specific examples based on different network indication scenarios:
[0038] Scenario 1: The network does not indicate the second type of measurement object.
[0039] For example, multiple measurement objects include: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0040] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: N (for the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurements, the first type of measurement object with different RATs without measurement intervals, and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies without measurement intervals). SCC_SSB +Y+Z+2*N SCC_CSIRS -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM ;
[0041] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: (1+N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0042] Where, N SCC_SSB The number of SCells configured only for SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0043] Y represents the number of different frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals;
[0044] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0045] N SCC_CSIRS The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured, or only CSI-RS configured, without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0046] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements on FR2 and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS.
[0047] Case 2: The network indicates a second type of measurement object, and the second type of measurement object is not a measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2.
[0048] For example, multiple measurement objects include: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, and the second type of measurement object; among them, the second type of measurement object is not the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement;
[0049] The CSSF for each of the following measurement objects is as follows: Type I measurement objects on SCCs of FR1, Type I measurement objects on SCCs of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurements, Type I measurement objects with different RATs without measurement intervals, and Type I measurement objects with different frequencies without measurement intervals.
[0050] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 2×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0051] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object is: 2×(N) SCC_SSB_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND );
[0052] Where, N SCC_SSB The number of SCells configured only for SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0053] Y represents the number of different frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals;
[0054] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0055] N SCC_CSIRS The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured, or only CSI-RS configured, without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0056] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0057] N SCC_SSB_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on a SCell that is only configured with SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0058] N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS.
[0059] Case 3: The network indicates a second type of measurement object, and the second type of measurement object is a measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2.
[0060] For example, multiple measurement objects include: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, and the second type of measurement object; among them, the second type of measurement object is the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement;
[0061] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: N (for the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurements, the first type of measurement object with different RATs without measurement intervals, and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies without measurement intervals). SCC_SSB +Y+Z+2*N SCC_CSIRS -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM ;
[0062] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: (1+N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0063] Where, N SCC_SSB The number of SCells configured only for SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0064] Y represents the number of different frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals;
[0065] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0066] N SCC_CSIRS The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured, or only CSI-RS configured, without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0067] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements on FR2 and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS.
[0068] Of course, the above three situations are just examples, and the actual situation is not limited to these.
[0069] The CSSF configuration provided by the above design method ensures that the CSSF values of all measurement objects conform to the design constraints of CSSF values, regardless of whether there is a network indication (i.e., whether there is a second type of measurement object), guaranteeing the rationality and feasibility of the solution. Furthermore, through the constraints of the above CSSF values, the resources of the three measurement channels can be utilized efficiently. This not only ensures a higher measurement priority for measurement objects on SCCs requiring neighbor cell measurements on FR2, as was the case in previous designs, but also guarantees a higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency) for second-type measurement objects when the network indicates them, better meeting the actual measurement needs of the network. For other SCCs on FR1 and FR2, placing the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements on FR2 on measurement channel 3 releases the resources originally occupied by the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements on measurement channel 2, thus accelerating the measurement speed of other SCCs on FR1 and FR2.
[0070] In one possible design, after receiving the first information, the method may further include: configuring the CSSF of each of the following: a first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, a first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, a first type of measurement object with different RAT without measurement interval, a first type of measurement object with different frequency without measurement interval, and a first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement; receiving second information, the second information being used to indicate n second type measurement objects, the n second type objects including N SCC_SSB_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS; reconfigure the CSSF of each of the following objects according to the second information: the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object with different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object with different frequency without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement; and configure the CSSF of n second type of measurement objects.
[0071] Through the above design approach, the terminal device can flexibly adjust the measurement objects that need to be measured first according to the network instructions, realize the dynamic adjustment of CSSF configuration, improve the network's flexibility in measurement task management, and thus better meet the actual measurement needs of the network.
[0072] Secondly, a measurement method is provided, which can be applied to a second communication device, which can be a terminal device or a chip or module in the terminal device. The method includes: receiving first information, the first information indicating multiple measurement objects, the multiple measurement objects including a first measurement object, a second measurement object, and a third measurement object; simultaneously performing measurements on the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object according to the first information; the first measurement object is a first type of measurement object on a PCC on FR1; the second measurement object is one of the following: a first type of measurement object on an SCC on FR1, a first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval at a different frequency, a first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval at a different RAT, and a second type of measurement object on FR1; the third measurement object is one of the following: a first type of measurement object on an SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, a first type of measurement object on FR2 with no measurement interval at a different frequency, a first type of measurement object on FR2 on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement, and a second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0073] In one possible interpretation, the terminal device simultaneously performs measurements on the first, second, and third measurement objects. From the perspective of the terminal device's capabilities, this means that the terminal device has three measurement channels (searchers), and the first, second, and third measurement objects each correspond to three different measurement channels. For example, the first measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 1, the second measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 2, and the third measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 3.
[0074] In one possible interpretation, the first type of measurement object typically refers to the measurement objects involved in the network's measurement configuration process for terminal devices, or ordinary measurement objects configured or indicated by the network (e.g., the first communication device). For example, the network may issue measurement configuration information via measConfig signaling, and the measurement objects indicated in this configuration information belong to the first type of measurement object. The first type of measurement object falls under the category of routine network measurement instructions; it is the measurement task object explicitly defined by the network during initial setup or routine configuration. The second type of measurement object differs from the first type. The second type of measurement object typically refers to objects that require priority or accelerated measurement. The configuration or indication method for the second type of measurement object is generally either individually or re-indicated by the network. When the network has special measurement requirements and needs certain measurement tasks to be completed first, it will specify these second type of measurement objects through individual instructions.
[0075] In the above scheme, the terminal device can use three measurement channels for measurement (i.e., the terminal device simultaneously performs measurements on the first, second, and third measurement objects). Compared to using only two measurement channels, this effectively improves the measurement efficiency of the terminal device, thereby helping to improve the communication quality and stability of the communication connection. For example, in mobile scenarios, improving measurement efficiency can reduce cell handover latency and enhance connection stability in high-speed scenarios.
[0076] Furthermore, the above scheme clarifies which three measurement objects the terminal device can simultaneously measure; in other words, it specifies the allocation method of each measurement object across the three measurement channels. Under this allocation method, assigning the measurement objects on FR1 and FR2 to different measurement channels avoids frequent RF switching between FR1 and FR2 by the terminal device, improving overall measurement efficiency and reducing terminal device power consumption. It also prevents the network from influencing the CSSF of the measurement objects on FR1 when indicating a second type of measurement object on FR2, and vice versa, thus reducing the CSSF adjustment range. Furthermore, when there is no second-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement object on FR1 without measurement interval and the first-type measurement object on FR1 with different frequency and different RAT without measurement interval exclusively occupy measurement channel 2. When there is a second-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the second-type measurement object on FR1 shares measurement channel 2 with the first-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement object on FR1 without measurement interval and the first-type measurement object on FR1 with different frequency and different RAT without measurement interval. When there is no second-type measurement object on FR2, the first-type measurement object on FR2 exclusively occupies measurement channel 3. When there is a second-type measurement object on FR2, the second-type measurement object on FR1 shares measurement channel 3 with the first-type measurement object on FR2. This can improve resource utilization while ensuring that the second-type measurement object indicated by the network has a higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency).
[0077] In one possible design, performing measurements on a first measurement object, a second measurement object, and a third measurement object simultaneously based on first information includes: determining the CSSF of the first measurement object, the CSSF of the second measurement object, and the CSSF of the third measurement object based on the first information; performing measurements on the first measurement object based on the CSSF of the first measurement object, performing measurements on the second measurement object based on the CSSF of the second measurement object, and performing measurements on the third measurement object based on the CSSF of the third measurement object.
[0078] The terminal device measures the object based on the CSSF of each object, which ensures the reliability of the measurement.
[0079] In one possible design, the CSSF configuration for each measurement object on measurement channel 2 can be as follows:
[0080] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval on FR1, and the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval on RAT is: [K′]×(N′SCC_SSB_FR1+Y _FR1 +Z+2*N′SCC_CSIRS_FR1);
[0081] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR1 is: [K′]×N SCC_FR1_NW_IND ;
[0082] Among them, N'SCC_SSB_FR1 is related to the number of SCells on FR1 that are only configured with L3 measurement based on SSB, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCells on FR1 that are only configured with L3 measurement based on SSB.
[0083] Y _FR1 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR1 that do not have a measurement interval.
[0084] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0085] The number of measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR1 without requiring neighbor cell measurements, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR1;
[0086] N SCC_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCell configured with only SSB-based L3 measurement on the FR1, and the number of second-class measurement objects configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on the FR1;
[0087] The second type of measurement object on FR1 is the measurement object on FR1 indicated by the network; when the network indicates a measurement object on FR1, K′ = 2; when the network does not indicate a measurement object on FR1, K′ = 1.
[0088] In a specific example:
[0089] The CSSF for each of the following measurement objects is: 2*[K]×(N) (This is a partial list of measurement objects on FR1, SCC, and RAT, and is not part of the FR1 measurement object list.) SCC_SSB_FR1 -N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +Y _FR1 +Z+2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ));
[0090] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR1 is: 2*[K]×(N) SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND );
[0091] Where, N SCC_SSB_FR1 The number of SCells configured only for SSB-based L3 measurements on FR1
[0092] Y _FR1 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR1 that do not have a measurement interval.
[0093] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0094] N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on an FR1 without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0095] N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements on FR1;
[0096] N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on the FR1;
[0097] The second type of measurement object on FR1 is the measurement object on FR1 indicated by the network; when the network indicates a measurement object on FR1, K=1; when the network does not indicate a measurement object on FR1, K=0.5.
[0098] Of course, the above is just one specific CSSF configuration example, and there can be other variations in practice.
[0099] Below are some specific examples based on different network indication scenarios:
[0100] Case 1: The network does not indicate the second type of measurement object on FR1.
[0101] For example, multiple measurement objects include the first type of measurement object on the secondary carrier SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval in the different RAT.
[0102] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on FR1 SCC, the first type of measurement object on FR1 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on RAT without measurement interval is: (N SCC_SSB_FR1 +Y _FR1 +Z+2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 );
[0103] Where, N SCC_SSB_FR1 The number of SCells configured only for SSB-based L3 measurements on FR1
[0104] Y _FR1 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR1 that do not have a measurement interval.
[0105] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0106] N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 The number of measurement objects on FR1 that are configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, without requiring neighbor cell measurements.
[0107] Case 2: The network indicates the second type of measurement object on FR1.
[0108] For example, multiple measurement objects include the first type of measurement object on the secondary carrier SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval, the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval in the different RAT, and the second type of measurement object on FR1.
[0109] The CSSF for each of the following measurement objects is: 2 × (N) (This is a partial list of measurement objects on FR1, SCC, and RAT, and is not part of the FR1 measurement object list.) SCC_SSB_FR1 -N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +Y _FR1 +Z+2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ));
[0110] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR1 is: 2×(N) SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND );
[0111] Where, N SCC_SSB_FR1The number of SCells configured only for SSB-based L3 measurements on FR1
[0112] Y _FR1 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR1 that do not have a measurement interval.
[0113] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0114] N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on an FR1 without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0115] N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements on FR1;
[0116] N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS on the FR1, or only with CSI-RS configured.
[0117] Through the above design, it is possible to ensure that the CSSF values of all measurement objects on measurement channel 2 meet the design constraints of CSSF values, regardless of whether there is a measurement object on FR1 (i.e., whether there is a second type of measurement object on FR1). This guarantees the rationality and feasibility of the solution. Furthermore, by using the above CSSF value constraints, the resources of measurement channel 2 can be utilized efficiently, improving resource utilization while ensuring that the second type of measurement object indicated by the network has a high measurement priority (or high measurement efficiency). Additionally, it avoids frequent switching of radio frequencies between FR1 and FR2 by the terminal device, improving overall measurement efficiency and reducing power consumption of the terminal device.
[0118] In one possible design, the CSSF configuration for each measurement object on measurement channel 3 can be as follows:
[0119] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: [J′]×(N′SCC_SSB_FR2+Y _FR2 +2*N′SCC_CSIRS_FR2-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0120] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: [J′]×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0121] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR2 is: [J′]×NSCC_FR2_NW_IND ;
[0122] Among them, N′SCC_SSB_FR2 is related to the number of SCells on FR2 that are only configured with L3 measurement based on SSB, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCells on FR2 that are only configured with L3 measurement based on SSB.
[0123] Y _FR2 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR2 that do not have a measurement interval;
[0124] The number of measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR2 without requiring neighbor cell measurements, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR2;
[0125] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0126] N SCC_FR2_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on SCells with only SSB-based L3 measurements configured on FR2, and the number of second-class measurement objects on SCCs with both SSB and CSI-RS configured on FR2, or with only CSI-RS configured.
[0127] The second type of measurement object on FR2 is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network; when the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, J′=3; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on the SCC on FR2, or when the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, J′=2.
[0128] In a specific example:
[0129] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: 2*[J]×(N SCC_SSB_FR2 -N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +Y _FR2 +2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND )-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0130] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 2*[J]×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0131] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR2 is: 2*[J]×(N) SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND );
[0132] Where, N SCC_SSB_FR2 The number of SCells configured on FR2 for L3 measurements based on SSB is specified.
[0133] Y _FR2 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR2 that do not have a measurement interval;
[0134] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on an FR2 without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0135] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0136] N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements on FR2;
[0137] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS on an FR2, or only with CSI-RS configured;
[0138] The second type of measurement object on FR2 is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network; when the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, J = 3 / 2; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on the SCC on FR2, or when the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, J = 1.
[0139] Of course, the above is just one specific CSSF configuration example, and there can be other variations in practice.
[0140] Below are some specific examples based on different network indication scenarios:
[0141] Case 1: The network does not indicate the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0142] For example, multiple measurement objects include: the first type of measurement object on the SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2, the first type of measurement object of different frequencies on FR2 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2.
[0143] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: 2×(N SCC_SSB_FR2 +Y _FR2 +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0144] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 2*×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0145] Where, N SCC_SSB_FR2 The number of SCells configured on FR2 for L3 measurements based on SSB is specified.
[0146] Y _FR2 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR2 that do not have a measurement interval;
[0147] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on an FR2 without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0148] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements on FR2 and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS.
[0149] Case 2: The network indicates the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0150] For example, multiple measurement objects include: the first type of measurement object on the SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2, the first type of measurement object of different frequencies on FR2 without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2, and the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0151] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: 3 × (N SCC_SSB_FR2 -N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +Y _FR2 +2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND )-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0152] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 3×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0153] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR2 is: 3×(N) SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND );
[0154] Where, N SCC_SSB_FR2 The number of SCells configured on FR2 for L3 measurements based on SSB is specified.
[0155] Y _FR2 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR2 that do not have a measurement interval;
[0156] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on an FR2 without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0157] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0158] N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements on FR2;
[0159] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS on an FR2, or only with CSI-RS configured.
[0160] Through the above design, it is possible to ensure that the CSSF values of all measurement objects on measurement channel 3 meet the design constraints of CSSF values, regardless of whether there is a measurement object on FR1 (i.e., whether there is a second type of measurement object on FR1). This guarantees the rationality and feasibility of the solution. Furthermore, by using the above CSSF value constraints, the resources of measurement channel 3 can be utilized efficiently, improving resource utilization while ensuring that the second type of measurement object indicated by the network has a high measurement priority (or high measurement efficiency). Additionally, it avoids frequent switching of radio frequencies between FR1 and FR2 by the terminal device, improving overall measurement efficiency and reducing power consumption of the terminal device.
[0161] In one possible design, after receiving the first information, the method further includes: configuring the CSSF of each of the following measurement objects according to the first information: a first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, a first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and a first type of measurement object with no measurement interval and a different RAT; receiving third information, the third information being used to indicate n1 second type of measurement objects on FR1, the n1 second type of measurement objects including N on FR1.

[0162] Through the above design, the terminal device can flexibly adjust the measurement objects that need to be measured first on measurement channel 2 (or FR1) according to network instructions, realize the dynamic adjustment of CSSF configuration, improve the network's flexibility in measurement task management, and thus better meet the actual measurement needs of the network.
[0163] In one possible design, after receiving the first information, the method further includes: configuring the CSSF of each of the following: a first type of measurement object on the SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2; a first type of measurement object on FR2 with no measurement interval; and a first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2; and receiving fourth information, the fourth information being used to indicate n2 second type measurement objects, the n2 second type measurement objects including N on FR2. SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS; reconfigure the CSSF of each of the first type of measurement objects on an SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2, the first type of measurement objects on FR2 with different frequencies and no measurement interval, and the first type of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2, according to the fourth information; and configure the CSSF of n2 second type of measurement objects.

[0196] For ease of understanding, some of the technical terms involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced below.
[0197] 1. Measurement object (MO):
[0198] The Measurement Object (MO) is a core component of radio resource management (RRM) measurements, supporting functions such as handover, carrier aggregation (CA), and load balancing. An MO can be a specific target or entity to be measured, such as a reference signal over a specified frequency, standard, radio access technology (RAT), or bandwidth. An MO can also be a target object defined in a measurement task configured by the network for user equipment (UE), defining the specific content and scope of the measurement, such as specifying the frequency, RAT, and bandwidth parameters that the UE needs to measure.
[0199] The MOs mentioned in this article include, for example: MOs configured on the primary component carrier (PCC) on frequency range (FR) 1, MOs configured on the secondary component carrier (SCC) on FR1, MOs configured on the SCC on FR2 that require neighbor cell measurements, MOs configured on the SCC on FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurements, inter-frequency MOs without measurement intervals, and inter-RAT MOs without measurement intervals.
[0200] In this embodiment, the UE's measurement of the MO on a certain carrier (secondary component, CC) can also be considered as the UE's measurement of that carrier (secondary component, CC); or, the measurement of a certain CC is essentially a measurement of the MO configured on that CC; or, the MO on a certain CC can be represented by that CC. For example, the measurement of the SCC on FR1 is essentially a measurement of the MO configured on the SCC on FR1. Furthermore, a certain CC within a certain frequency range can be abbreviated to the form of frequency range + CC; for example, the SCC on FR1 can be abbreviated as FR1 SCC.
[0201] 2. CSSF:
[0202] CSSF is an important parameter used for RRM measurement configuration in wireless communication systems, especially in the fifth-generation mobile communication system (5G) New Radio (NR) technology. When a UE is connected to multiple carriers simultaneously, the network configures different MOs for the UE, such as the MO on the PCC on FR1 and the MO on the SCC on FR1, as mentioned above. CSSF is a scaling factor used to scale the measurement period of these MOs. By receiving the CSSF-related configuration information, the UE determines the CSSF corresponding to each MO and applies it to the corresponding measurement period, thereby obtaining the scaled measurement period. This allows for more flexible and accurate measurement, adapting to different network scenarios and measurement requirements.
[0203] 3. Measurement Channel (searcher):
[0204] A searcher can also be called a search unit, search channel, etc., without limitation. A searcher is an abstract concept of a UE's carrier measurement capability, a composite concept based on a series of capabilities within the UE, including buffers, processors, and chip physical receive channels. A portion of the UE's processing power can be viewed as a searcher, which can be used to perform measurements on a specific frequency (or carrier). For example, if a UE has two searchers, it means that the UE's processing power can simultaneously measure at least two frequencies (or carriers) of the same frequency.
[0205] Shared measurement channel: This refers to all carriers to be measured being arranged in a time-division manner according to a certain ratio. If multiple carriers share a measurement channel, such as two carriers, then these two carriers will be measured one after the other on the measurement channel in a time-division manner.
[0206] Primary and secondary carrier measurements, secondary carrier measurements: The measurement tasks described in this article refer to the measurement of reference signals on a specific carrier, such as the synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB), channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), or other reference signals. The synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block can be simply referred to as the synchronization broadcast block.
[0207] 4. Carrier aggregation:
[0208] Multiple carriers scattered across multiple frequency bands are aggregated together to form a larger bandwidth, thereby improving the peak throughput of the UE. The aggregated carriers can consist of one PCC and one or more SCCs. Among them, the PCC corresponds to the primary cell (PCell), and the SCC corresponds to the secondary cell (SCell).
[0209] 6. Same frequency measurement:
[0210] This refers to a measurement frequency (or carrier) used by the UE to perform measurements that is the same as the frequency (or carrier) of the UE's serving cell, and the subcarrier spacing (SCS) of the measurement resources used by the UE to perform measurements is also the same as the SCS of the measurement resources of the UE's serving cell. The measurement frequency can also be simply referred to as the frequency point.
[0211] 7. Different frequency measurement:
[0212] This refers to a situation where the measurement frequency (or carrier) used by the UE device to perform the measurement is different from the frequency (or carrier) of the UE's serving cell, and / or the subcarrier spacing (SCS) of the measurement resources used by the UE to perform the measurement is different from the SCS of the measurement resources of the UE's serving cell.
[0213] Correspondingly, inter-frequency MO refers to the MO on a different frequency (or carrier) than the frequency (or carrier) of the UE's current serving cell, or in other words, inter-frequency MO indicates a frequency (or carrier) that is different from the frequency (or carrier) of the UE's current serving cell.
[0214] 8. Different RAT measurement (or different system measurement or different standard measurement): This refers to the access technology type of the frequency point (or carrier) that the UE performs the measurement on being different from the access technology type of the UE's serving cell.
[0215] Correspondingly, the MO of a different RAT refers to the MO of another RAT that is different from the RAT of the UE's current serving cell, or in other words, the MO of a different RAT indicates another RAT that is different from the RAT of the UE's current serving cell.
[0216] 9. Neighbor Cell Measurement: This is the process by which the UE measures the signal quality of neighbor cells in a wireless communication system.
[0217] 10. Measurement gap (MG):
[0218] It can also be simply referred to as a gap, which specifies the time during which the UE performs inter-frequency measurements. When the UE performs inter-frequency or inter-RAT measurements, communication between the UE and the serving cell may be interrupted. Therefore, network equipment can configure measurement gaps for the UE. In other words, the measurement gap can be understood as a time-sharing mechanism for the UE's measurements and data transmission and reception on the serving cell.
[0219] 11. In the embodiments of this application, the number of nouns, unless otherwise specified, refers to "singular nouns or plural nouns," that is, "one or more." "At least one" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c means: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a and b and c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.
[0220] The ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the embodiments of this application are used to distinguish multiple objects, and are not used to limit the size, content, order, timing, priority, or importance of the multiple objects. Furthermore, the numbering of steps in the various embodiments described in this application is only to distinguish different steps and is not used to limit the order in which the steps are performed.
[0221] The following describes the technical features involved in the embodiments of this application.
[0222] For carrier measurements at the same frequency, the CSSF value will affect the carrier measurement period by integer multiples. Taking the FR1 reference signal measurement period as an example, Table 1 shows the period calculation method in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 38.133 protocol. The CSSF value in Table 1... intra This indicates CSSF based on same-frequency measurements.
[0223] Table 1 Measurement cycle (FR1) for PSS / SSS testing
[0224] T PSS / SSS_sync_intra Indicates the measurement cycle of PSS / SSS detection. K p Indicates whether a collision has occurred between SMTC and GAP. PSS is the primary synchronization signal, and SSS is the secondary synchronization signal. SMTC is the SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC) for the synchronization signal and the physical broadcast channel block (PBCH block). `highSpeedMeasFlag-r16`: High-speed measurement flag in 3GPP Release 16. `measurementEnhancement-r16 / intraNR-MeasurementEnhancement-r16`: Measurement enhancement features in Release 16. `highSpeedMeasCA-SCell-r17 / measurementEnhancementCA-r17`: Carrier aggregation-related high-speed measurement enhancement features in Release 17.
[0225] In 3GPP Release 15, a CSSF table is defined for measurement cycles to determine the specific measurement cycle of the UE and constrain the number of SCCs the UE can measure simultaneously. Table 2 below is the CSSF table for NR standalone (SA) networking. It should be understood that the CSSF discussed in this article mainly refers to the CSSF. outside_gap,i This represents the CSSF of a MO outside the measurement interval (without a measurement interval), where `outside_gap` indicates the outside of the measurement interval, and `i` is used to identify the MO. For ease of description, the CSSF will be referred to as such below. outside_gap,i It is abbreviated as CSSF.
[0226] Table 2
[0227] It is understandable that FR1's PCC, FR1's SCC, and FR2's PCC all require neighbor cell measurement by default, while whether FR2's SCC measures neighbor cells requires separate indication or configuration.
[0228] The CSSF table shows the number of measurement channels a UE can use for measurements within the same frequency band. For example, Table 2 shows the CSSF configurations for when a UE can use two measurement channels: FR1 PCC occupies one measurement channel exclusively, while FR1 SCC, FR2 PCC, FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements, and FR2 SCC not requiring neighbor cell measurements share another measurement channel. Taking the FR1+FR2 CA scenario as an example, the CSSF for FR1 PCC is 1, indicating that the measurement period of FR1 PCC is not amplified, thus it occupies one measurement channel exclusively. The CSSF for FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements is 2, the CSSF for FR1 SCC is 2 × (number of configured secondary cells - 1), and the CSSF for FR2 SCC not requiring neighbor cell measurements is 2 × (number of configured secondary cells - 1), indicating that these three share another measurement channel, and the FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements occupies half of the measurement resources of that channel.
[0229] In Releases 16, 17, and 18, the arrangement logic for the UE using two measurement channels remained unchanged; only other adaptation characteristics of the carriers to be measured were modified. For example, the CSSF definition for NR SA in 3GPP 38.133 Release 18 is as follows:
[0230] Table 3
[0231] E-UTRA refers to Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access. Different RATs (Relative Access Technologies) refer to access technologies different from E-UTRA.
[0232] As can be seen from the CSSF configuration schemes shown in Tables 2 and 3, a UE can use at most two measurement channels for measurement (i.e., the UE can measure at most two frequency points or carriers simultaneously). Taking the FR1+FR2 carrier aggregation scenario (FR1 is the primary cell) as an example, the FR1 PCC occupies one measurement channel exclusively (hereinafter referred to as measurement channel 1), while other SCCs share another measurement channel (hereinafter referred to as measurement channel 2). On FR2, the SCCs required for neighbor cell measurements account for 50% of measurement channel 2, while the remaining SCCs account for less than 50%, resulting in low measurement efficiency. Furthermore, once the terminal device determines the measurement object (e.g., the terminal device receives configuration information about the measurement object from the network), the CSSF configuration scheme of the terminal device is fixed, resulting in poor flexibility for the network in measurement task management.
[0233] Therefore, this application provides a measurement scheme that enables the UE to perform measurements using three measurement channels (i.e., the UE can simultaneously measure three frequency points (or carriers)), thereby improving measurement efficiency. Furthermore, based on the three measurement channels, this application specifies the CSSF for each measurement object, and all CSSF values for all measurement objects conform to the design constraints of CSSF values, ensuring the rationality and feasibility of the scheme. In addition, in this application, the terminal device can adjust the CSSF configuration scheme according to the measurement objects indicated by the network, which can improve the network's flexibility in measurement task management.
[0234] The following describes the application scenarios of the embodiments of this application.
[0235] The technical solutions provided in this application can be applied to various communication systems, such as long-term evolution (LTE) systems, fifth-generation (5G) systems, new radio (NR) systems, or future mobile communication systems or other similar communication systems, etc., without any specific limitations.
[0236] Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary architecture diagram of a communication system 1000 applicable to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 1, the communication system includes a wireless access network 100 and a core network 200. Optionally, the communication system 1000 may also include an Internet 300. The wireless access network 100 may include at least one wireless access network device (110a and 110b in Figure 1) and at least one terminal device (120a-120j in Figure 1). The terminal device is wirelessly connected to the wireless access network device, and the wireless access network device is wirelessly or wiredly connected to the core network. The core network device and the wireless access network device may be independent and different physical devices, or the functions of the core network device and the logical functions of the wireless access network device may be integrated on the same physical device, or a single physical device may integrate some of the functions of the core network device and some of the functions of the wireless access network device. Terminal devices and wireless access network devices may be interconnected via wired or wireless means. Figure 1 is just a schematic diagram. The communication system may also include other network devices, such as wireless relay devices and wireless backhaul devices, which are not shown in Figure 1.
[0237] The network devices involved in the embodiments of this application include, for example, radio access network (RAN) devices. RAN devices can be base stations, evolved NodeBs (eNodeBs), transmission reception points (TRPs), transmission points (TPs), base stations in 5th generation (5G) mobile communication systems, base stations in future mobile communication systems, or access nodes in WiFi systems; they can also be modules or units that perform some of the functions of a base station, for example, they can be central units (CUs), distributed units (DUs), or radio units (RUs). The CU (Radio Control Unit) performs the functions of the radio resource control protocol and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) of the base station, and can also perform the functions of the service data adaptation protocol (SDAP). The DU (Radio Link Control Unit) performs the functions of the radio link control layer and medium access control (MAC) layer of the base station, and can also perform some or all of the physical layer functions. For specific descriptions of the above-mentioned protocol layers, please refer to the relevant technical specifications of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The CU and DU can be set up separately, or they can be included in the same network element, such as in the baseband unit (BBU). The RU (Radio Receiver Unit) can be included in radio frequency equipment or radio frequency units, such as in the remote radio unit (RRU), active antenna unit (AAU), or remote radio head (RRH).
[0238] In different systems, CU, DU, or RU may have different names, but those skilled in the art will understand their meaning. For example, in an open radio access network (O-RAN) system, CU can also be called open CU (open-CU, O-CU), DU can also be called open DU (open-DU, O-DU), and RU can also be called open RU (open-RU, O-RU). In this application, any of the following units—CU (or CU control plane (CU-CP), CU user plane (CU-UP), DU, and RU)—can be implemented through software modules, hardware modules, or a combination of software and hardware modules. CU-CP can also be called open CU-CP (open-CU-CP, O-CU-CP), and CU-UP can also be called open CU-UP (open-CU-UP, O-CU-UP).
[0239] Figure 2 illustrates an example of an O-RAN system. Access network equipment communicates with the core network (CN) via a backhaul link and with user equipment (UE) via an air interface. Specifically, the BBU in the access network equipment communicates with the core network via the backhaul link, and the radio unit (RU) in the access network equipment communicates with at least one UE via the air interface. The BBU communicates with at least one RU via a fronthaul link; the BBU and RU may or may not be co-located. The BBU includes at least one control unit and at least one DU, which can communicate via at least one midhaul link. Of course, in practice, an O-RAN system may also include other components besides those shown in Figure 2.
[0240] Figure 3 shows the network element function division and protocol layer structure of an O-RAN device.
[0241] In some possible examples or schemes, the CU, as a logical node, carries the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, and other control functions. The CU connects to other network nodes in the core network through interfaces, such as E2 interfaces. Optionally, the CU may also possess some core network functions. The CU (e.g., PDCP layer and above) connects to the DU (e.g., RLC layer and below) through interfaces, such as F1 interfaces. In some examples, these interfaces (e.g., F1 interfaces) can provide control plane (C-Plane) and user plane (U-Plane) functions, such as interface management, system information management, UE context management, and RRC message transmission. F1AP is the application protocol for the F1 interface, defining the signaling procedures for F1. The F1 interface supports control plane F1-C and user plane F1-U.
[0242] In some possible examples or scenarios, the CU can be divided into CU-CP and CU-UP. CU-CP is a logical node responsible for the RRC layer and the control plane part of PDCP (PDCP-C) layer, used to implement the CU's control plane functions. CU-CP can interact with other network elements in the core network, which implement control plane functions, such as the access and mobility management function (AMF) in 5G systems. The AMF network element is responsible for mobility management in the mobile network, including location updates, network registration, and handover for terminal devices. CU-UP is a logical node responsible for the SDAP layer and the user plane part of PDCP (PDCP-U) layer, used to implement the CU's user plane functions. CU-UP can interact with other network elements in the core network, which implement user plane functions, such as the UPF in 5G systems. The UPF is responsible for data forwarding and receiving in terminal devices.
[0243] The above CU and DU configurations are merely examples; actual configurations can be adjusted as needed. For instance, a CU or DU can be configured to have more protocol layer functions, or it can be configured to have only partial protocol layer processing functions. For example, some RLC layer functions and protocol layer functions above the RLC layer can be placed on the CU, while the remaining RLC layer functions and protocol layer functions below the RLC layer can be placed on the DU. The functions of the CU or DU can also be divided according to service type or other system requirements, such as by latency. Functions requiring low latency can be placed on the DU, while functions not requiring this latency can be placed on the CU. In some possible examples or schemes, the DU is a logical node carrying the radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer, higher physical layer (Higher PHY) layer, and other functions. In some examples, the DU can control at least one RU. The DU connects to the RU through interfaces, which can be fronthaul interfaces. In some examples, the Higher PHY layer includes parts of the PHY layer that handle processes such as forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation, and demodulation.
[0244] In some possible examples or scenarios, the RU is a logical node that carries both lower physical layer (PHY) and radio frequency (RF) processing. In some examples, the RU can be a 3GPP transmission reception point (TRP), a remote radio head (RRH), or other similar entities. In some examples, the Low-PHY includes portions of the PHY processing, such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), digital beamforming, and filtering. The RU communicates with one or more UEs via a radio link.
[0245] DUs and RUs can be deployed co-located or geographically. DUs and RUs exchange information between the control plane and user plane via a lower-layer split CUS-plane (LLS-CUS) interface using a fronthaul link. The LLS-CUS interface can contain two sub-interfaces: the LLS-C interface and the LLS-U interface, responsible for communication between the control plane (C-Plane) and user plane (U-Plane), respectively. The control plane (C-Plane) primarily handles real-time control information between the DU and RU, while the user plane (U-Plane) is responsible for user data transmission. In addition, DUs and RUs exchange management information via the LLS-M interface. The management plane (M-Plane) handles non-real-time management operations between the DU and RU, such as configuration updates and status monitoring. DUs and RUs can collaborate to perform physical layer (PHY) functions. A DU can connect to one or more RUs, and the functions of DUs and RUs can be flexibly configured according to design requirements. For example, a DU can be configured to implement baseband processing, while an RU can be configured to implement mid-frequency (RF) functions. Alternatively, the DU can be configured to implement higher-level physical layer functions, such as those closer to the MAC layer, while the RU can be configured to implement lower-level physical layer functions, including even RF functions. Higher-level physical layer functions typically involve parts closer to the MAC layer, while lower-level functions involve parts closer to the mid-RF side.
[0246] Wireless access network equipment can be a macro base station (as shown in Figure 1, 110a), a micro base station or an indoor station (as shown in Figure 1, 110b), or a relay node or donor node, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technology or equipment form used in the wireless access network equipment. For ease of description, the following description uses a base station as an example of wireless access network equipment.
[0247] Terminal devices can also be referred to as user equipment (UE), mobile stations, mobile terminal devices, etc. Terminal devices can be widely used in various scenarios, such as device-to-device (D2D), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial control, autonomous driving, telemedicine, smart grids, smart furniture, smart offices, smart wearables, smart transportation, smart cities, etc. Terminal devices can be mobile phones, tablets, computers with wireless transceiver capabilities, wearable devices, vehicles, drones, helicopters, airplanes, ships, robots, robotic arms, smart home devices, roadside units (RSUs), etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technologies or device forms used in the terminal devices.
[0248] Base stations and terminal equipment can be fixed or mobile. They can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld or vehicle-mounted; on water; or in the air on aircraft, balloons, and satellites. The embodiments of this application do not limit the application scenarios of the base stations and terminal equipment.
[0249] The roles of base stations and terminal devices can be relative. For example, the helicopter or drone 120i in Figure 1 can be configured as a mobile base station. For terminal devices 120j that access the wireless access network 100 through 120i, terminal device 120i is a base station; however, for base station 110a, 120i is a terminal device, meaning that 110a and 120i communicate via a wireless air interface protocol. Of course, 110a and 120i can also communicate via a base station-to-base station interface protocol. In this case, relative to 110a, 120i is also a base station. Therefore, both base stations and terminal devices can be collectively referred to as communication devices. 110a and 110b in Figure 1 can be called communication devices with base station functions, and 120a-120j in Figure 1 can be called communication devices with terminal device functions.
[0250] Communication between base stations and terminal devices, between base stations, and between terminal devices can be conducted using licensed spectrum, unlicensed spectrum, or both simultaneously. Communication can be conducted using spectrum below 6 GHz, spectrum above 6 GHz, or both simultaneously. The embodiments of this application do not limit the spectrum resources used for wireless communication.
[0251] In the embodiments of this application, the functions of the base station can be executed by modules (such as chips) within the base station, or by a control subsystem that includes base station functions. This control subsystem, including base station functions, can be a control center in the aforementioned application scenarios such as smart grids, industrial control, intelligent transportation, and smart cities. Similarly, the functions of the terminal device can be executed by modules (such as chips or modems) within the terminal device, or by a device that includes terminal device functions.
[0252] The core network involved in this application embodiment may include network devices that process and forward user signaling and data. For example, it may include access and mobility management functions (AMF), session management functions (SMF), user plane gateways, location management devices, etc. Of course, the core network may also include other network elements, which are not listed here.
[0253] It is understood that the network architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of this application are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.
[0254] The method provided in the embodiments of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0255] Referring to Figure 4, which is a flowchart of a measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application, including steps S401 to S402.
[0256] S401, The first communication device sends first information, and the second communication device receives the first information.
[0257] In this context, the first communication device is a network-side device, such as a network device (e.g., a base station) or a chip or module within a network device, without limitation. The second communication device is a user-side device, such as a UE or a chip or module within a UE, without limitation. For ease of description, the following text will use the example of the first communication device being a network device (which can be simply referred to as the network) and the second communication device being a UE.
[0258] The first information is used to indicate multiple measurement objects, including a first measurement object, a second measurement object, and a third measurement object. For example, the multiple measurement objects include some or all of the measurement objects defined in Table 2 or Table 3, and may also include other types of measurement objects. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on the multiple measurement objects.
[0259] It is understood that the network can send the first information through a single sending action (such as a message) or through multiple sending actions (such as multiple messages), without restriction. For example, the first information can be measurement configuration information used to configure the second communication device to perform measurements. For instance, the first information can be information indicating the measurement object in the measurement configuration (measConfig) signaling (measConfig signaling is used by the network to send measurement control configuration to the UE, and the signaling content can include parameters such as measurement object, reporting configuration, measurement identifier, and measurement interval to guide the UE to perform measurements and report); or, the first information can include measurement configuration information and other information sent after the measurement configuration information, without restriction.
[0260] S402, the second communication device simultaneously performs measurements on the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object based on the first information.
[0261] From the perspective of measurement timing, the second communication device simultaneously performs measurements on the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object, which means that the measurement timing of the first measurement object, the measurement timing of the second measurement object, and the measurement timing of the third measurement object have overlapping parts (or in other words, the three have common parts). For example, Figure 5 illustrates several possible situations, but it is not limited to these.
[0262] From the perspective of measurement cycle, the second communication device simultaneously performs measurements on the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object, which means that the measurement cycles of the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object have overlapping parts (or in other words, they have common parts). For example, Figure 6 is a possible example, but it is not limited to this.
[0263] From a measurement capability perspective, the second communication device simultaneously performing measurements on the first, second, and third measurement objects means that the UE has three different measurement channels. The first, second, and third measurement objects correspond to these three different measurement channels, for example, measurement channels 1, 2, and 3. The first measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 1 (i.e., the UE uses measurement channel 1 to measure the first measurement object), the second measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 2 (i.e., the UE uses measurement channel 2 to measure the second measurement object), and the third measurement object corresponds to measurement channel 3 (i.e., the UE uses measurement channel 3 to measure the third measurement object), as shown in Figures 7A-7B and 9A-9D. It is understood that the naming of the measurement channels listed in the text is only used to distinguish the three different measurement channels and is not used to limit the size, content, order, timing, priority, or importance of the three measurement channels.
[0264] Optionally, after the second communication device performs measurements on the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object simultaneously based on the first information, it can also report the measurement results, and the first communication device receives the measurement results.
[0265] In this embodiment, the UE can use three measurement channels to perform measurements (i.e., the UE performs measurements on the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object simultaneously), which can effectively improve the measurement efficiency of the UE compared to using only two measurement channels.
[0266] In this embodiment, before performing the measurement, the second communication device needs to first determine the CSSF of the first measurement object, the CSSF of the second measurement object, and the CSSF of the third measurement object based on the first information (i.e., which measurement objects are). Then, the second communication device performs the measurement on the first measurement object based on the CSSF of the first measurement object, performs the measurement on the second measurement object based on the CSSF of the second measurement object, and performs the measurement on the third measurement object based on the CSSF of the third measurement object. For example, the second communication device determines the measurement period of the first measurement object based on the CSSF of the first measurement object and performs the measurement on the first measurement object according to the measurement period of the first measurement object; determines the measurement period of the second measurement object based on the CSSF of the second measurement object and performs the measurement on the second measurement object according to the measurement period of the second measurement object; determines the measurement period of the third measurement object based on the CSSF of the third measurement object and performs the measurement on the third measurement object according to the measurement period of the third measurement object.
[0267] To enable the second communication device to use three measurement channels, it is necessary to properly design the measurement objects on each measurement channel and the CSSF of each measurement object. Simply adding a third measurement channel will result in errors.
[0268] For example, based on the CSSF configuration scheme of the two measurement channels (such as measurement channel 1 and measurement channel 2) given in Table 2, if a newly added measurement channel (such as measurement channel 3) is used to measure the measurement object indicated by the network (such as the measurement object that the network indicates needs to be prioritized / accelerated for measurement), and if the measurement object indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2, then the measurement resources for the measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2 will be 1.5 measurement channels (because the measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2 was originally allocated 50% of the measurement resources of measurement channel 2, and with the addition of the measurement resources of the third measurement channel after the network indication, the total number of measurement channels used for the measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2 is 1.5), resulting in an abnormal situation of measurement channel allocation (because the design logic for measurement channels does not allow the measurement resources corresponding to a certain carrier to be greater than 1 measurement channel). From the perspective of CSSF, the CSSF value of the measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is a decimal. The measurement period of the UE for the measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is not an integer multiple of the period, and there are even cases where the period is less than the minimum period value specified in the protocol, which does not comply with the design specifications of the measurement period.
[0269] Therefore, it is crucial to rationally allocate the measurement objects on each measurement channel and design the CSSF of the measurement objects on each measurement channel so that the CSSF values of all measurement objects meet the design constraints of the CSSF values, in order to ensure the rationality and feasibility of the solution.
[0270] To better understand the measurement object allocation scheme and CSSF configuration scheme provided in this application, the measurement objects involved in this application will be introduced first.
[0271] Category 1 Measurement Objects: These are ordinary measurement objects configured or indicated by the network (e.g., the first communication device). Specifically, they typically refer to the measurement objects involved in the network's measurement configuration process for the UE. For example, the network may issue measurement configuration information via measConfig signaling, and the measurement objects indicated in this measurement configuration information belong to Category 1 measurement objects. These measurement objects fall under the category of routine network measurement indications and are measurement task objects explicitly defined by the network during initial setup or routine configuration.
[0272] The second category of measurement objects differs from the first category. These are objects that require priority or accelerated measurement. Their configuration or indication method is generally either individually or explicitly indicated by the network. For example, the network may indicate the second category of measurement objects through a specific identifier in the measConfig signaling, or it may indicate them through specific signaling (such as other RRC signaling different from measConfig signaling). This means that when the network has special measurement needs and requires certain measurement tasks to be completed with priority, these second category of measurement objects will be clearly indicated through separate instructions.
[0273] In some possible implementations, the network has the ability to individually instruct the second type of measurement objects. For example, after the network has completed the configuration of the first type of measurement objects, if it finds that some special measurement tasks need to be executed with priority, the network can issue additional messages to instruct these second type of measurement objects. This approach allows for flexible scheduling of priority measurement tasks.
[0274] In other possible implementations, the network can differentiate between the first and second types of measurement objects within the same message. This approach improves the efficiency of network indication to some extent and avoids the complexity of sending multiple messages. By explicitly distinguishing different types of measurement objects within the same message, network devices can more clearly understand the priority and type of measurement tasks.
[0275] In practical applications, the type of measurement object can also change dynamically according to the network requirements. For example, the same measurement object can correspond to the first type of measurement object and the second type of measurement object at different points in time.
[0276] For example, during the initial configuration phase, the network configures measurement object 1 and measurement object 2. At this time, both measurement object 1 and measurement object 2 are defined as first-class measurement objects and processed according to the normal measurement procedure. However, in subsequent operations, the network re-instructs measurement object 1, requiring that measurement object 1 be measured first. In this case, measurement object 1 changes from a first-class measurement object to a second-class measurement object.
[0277] For example, after the network sends a measConfig signaling message, it sends a new measConfig signaling message to update the configuration of the measurement object. The same measurement object is configured as a first type of measurement object and a second type of measurement object in the new measConfig signaling message and the old measConfig signaling message, respectively.
[0278] This dynamic change can improve the network's flexibility in managing measurement tasks, so as to better meet actual measurement needs.
[0279] It should be noted that the network-configured measurement objects may differ in different scenarios, as illustrated in the examples given in Tables 2 and 3 above. For instance, in the FR1 carrier aggregation scenario shown in Table 3, the configurable measurement objects include: measurement objects on the PCC of FR1, measurement objects on the SCC of FR1, inter-frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals, and inter-RAT measurement objects without measurement intervals. Similarly, in the FR1+FR2 carrier aggregation scenario (FR1 is the primary cell) shown in Table 3, the configurable measurement objects include: measurement objects on the PCC of FR1, measurement objects on the SCC of FR1, measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurements, measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that require neighbor cell measurements, inter-frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals, and inter-RAT measurement objects without measurement intervals. For ease of description, the following text primarily uses the FR1+FR2 carrier aggregation scenario (FR1 is the primary cell) shown in Table 3 as an example.
[0280] As a concrete example, during the initial configuration phase, the network configures the measurement objects on the PCC of FR1, the measurement objects on the SCC of FR1, the measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurements, the measurement objects of different RATs without measurement intervals, the measurement objects of different frequencies without measurement intervals, and the measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that require neighbor cell measurements. At this time, all these measurement objects are classified as Category I measurement objects. Subsequently, the network separately instructs the measurement objects on a specific SCC of FR1 (such as the first SCC), for example, instructing the measurement objects on the first SCC to be measured with priority. In this case, the measurement objects on the first SCC are changed to Category II measurement objects. At the same time, the number of Category I measurement objects on the SCCs of FR1 should be reduced by the number of measurement objects on the first SCC that have been changed to Category II measurement objects. Of course, this is just an example, and the actual Category II measurement objects are not limited to this.
[0281] The following describes the allocation method of the measurement objects on the three measurement channels (or, which three measurement objects the second communication device can measure simultaneously), and the CSSF configuration scheme under each allocation method.
[0282] For ease of description, the following examples use measurement channels 1 and 2 as the original two measurement channels, and measurement channel 3 as the newly added measurement channel. It should be noted that the names of the measurement channels listed in the text are only used to distinguish the three different measurement channels and are not used to define the size, content, order, timing, priority, or importance of the three measurement channels.
[0283] First allocation method:
[0284] Measurement channel 3 is used to measure objects on SCCs requiring neighboring cell measurements on FR2 and second-class measurement objects. The type of measurement objects on measurement channel 1 remains unchanged, while the type of measurement objects on measurement channel 2 is the remaining measurement objects (based on the original measurement objects) after removing the measurement objects on SCCs requiring neighboring cell measurements on FR2. Details are as follows:
[0285] 1) Possible measurement objects on measurement channel 1 include: measurement objects on PCC on FR1 (or the first type of measurement objects on PCC on FR1).
[0286] It is understood that the embodiments of this application take the example that the measurement objects on the PCC on FR1 are all first-type measurement objects. Therefore, the measurement objects on the PCC on FR1 can also be described as first-type measurement objects on the PCC on FR1.
[0287] 2) Possible measurement objects on measurement channel 2 include: the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval.
[0288] It is understood that the number of various measurement objects on measurement channel 2 may be one or more, or zero, without restriction. When the number of a certain type of measurement object is zero, it means that the network has not configured that type of measurement object, that is, there is no such measurement object on measurement channel 2.
[0289] 3) Possible measurement objects on measurement channel 3 include: the first type of measurement object and the second type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2.
[0290] The second type of measurement object may be located on the SCC of FR1 or on the SCC of FR2, without restriction. For example, the network may designate one or more of the following as the second type of measurement object: measurement objects on the SCC of FR1, measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurement, measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that require neighbor cell measurement, etc.
[0291] It is understandable that the number of various types of measurement objects on measurement channel 3 may be one or more, or zero. When the number of a certain type of measurement object is zero, it means that the network has not configured that type of measurement object, that is, there is no such measurement object on measurement channel 3. For example, the second type of measurement object will only be available on measurement channel 3 after the network indicates it; otherwise, there will only be the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2.
[0292] Refer to Figures 7A and 7B for example diagrams showing the assignment status of measurement objects for the three measurement channels. The difference between Figures 7A and 7B is that Figure 7A does not show a second type of measurement object (e.g., a measurement object for which the network does not indicate priority measurement), while Figure 7B shows a second type of measurement object (e.g., a measurement object for which the network indicates priority measurement).
[0293] In this mode, the terminal device can simultaneously measure three measurement objects (i.e., the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object), namely: one measurement object on measurement channel 1, one measurement object on measurement channel 2, and one measurement object on measurement channel 3. Specifically, the first measurement object is the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1; the second measurement object is one of the following: the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, or the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval; the third measurement object is one of the following: the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, or the second type of measurement object.
[0294] Through the above allocation method, when there are no second-type measurement objects, the first-type measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 exclusively occupy measurement channel 3. When there are second-type measurement objects, the second-type measurement objects and the first-type measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 share measurement channel 3. On the one hand, this ensures that the first-type measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 have higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency), continuing the previous design tendency to give higher measurement priority to measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 (for example, in Tables 2 and 3, the measurement resources of measurement objects on the SCC requesting neighbor cell measurement on FR2 are more than those of measurement objects on other SCCs). On the other hand, when there are second-type measurement objects, this ensures that the second-type measurement objects also have higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency), better meeting the actual measurement needs of the network. For the other SCCs on FR1 and FR2, placing the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement on measurement channel 3 will release the resources originally occupied by the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement on measurement channel 2, thereby speeding up the measurement of the other SCCs on FR1 and FR2.
[0295] In one possible design, under the first allocation method, the CSSF configuration of each measurement object can be as follows:
[0296] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: Type I measurement object on SCC of FR1, Type I measurement object on SCC of FR2 (no neighbor cell measurement required), Type I measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, and Type I measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval. SCC_SSB +Y+Z+2*N' SCC_CSIRS -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM -N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND ;
[0297] The CSSF for the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements on FR2 is:
[0298] [J']×(1+N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0299] The CSCF of the second type of measurement object is: [J']×N SCC_NW_IND .
[0300] The parameters above are explained as follows:
[0301] Y represents the number of different frequency measurement objects without measurement intervals;
[0302] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0303] N' SCC_SSB Related to the number of SCells configured only with SSB-based layer (L)3 measurements and the number of second-class measurement objects on SCells configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0304] N' SCC_CSIRS The number of measurement objects on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured or only CSI-RS configured without requiring neighbor cell measurements, and the number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured or only CSI-RS configured.
[0305] N SCC_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCell that is only configured with SSB-based L3 measurement, the number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or the number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is only configured with CSI-RS.
[0306] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0307] N SCC_CSIRS_NW_INDThe number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS;
[0308] The second type of measurement object is the measurement object on the SCC indicated by the network; when the SCC indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, J'=2; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on the SCC, or when the measurement object on the SCC indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, J'=1.
[0309] It's understandable that before measuring the object on an SCC configured with CSI-RS, the SSB reference signal at that frequency needs to be measured first, and then the CSI-RS reference signal at that frequency needs to be measured. This results in two measurements being performed on the object on the CSI-RS-configured SCC. Therefore, in this paper, the number of quantities related to the object on the CSI-RS-configured SCC needs to be multiplied by 2, for example, 2*N'. SCC_CSIRS .
[0310] In practical applications, the parameters in the above formula can be implemented in multiple ways. Here is a specific example:
[0311] N' SCC_SSB Related to the number of SCells configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCells configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements, specifically: N' SCC_SSB =N SCC_SSB -N SCC_SSB_NW_IND ; where N SCC_SSB For the number of SCells configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements, N SCC_SSB_NW_IND For the second type of measurement object on a SCell that is only configured with SSB-based L3 measurements;
[0312] N' SCC_CSIRS The number of objects measured on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured without requiring neighbor cell measurements, or only configured with CSI-RS, and the number of second-type objects on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured, or only configured with CSI-RS, are related to the following: N' SCC_CSIRS =N SCC_CSIRS -N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND , where N SCC_CSIRS To determine the number of objects to be measured on an SCC that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured, or only CSI-RS configured, without requiring neighbor cell measurements, N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS;
[0313] N SCC_NW_IND The number of Type II measurement objects is related to the number of SCCs configured with only SSB-based L3 measurements, the number of SCCs configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or the number of SCCs configured with only CSI-RS, specifically: N SCC_SSB_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND , where N SCC_SSB_NW_IND N represents the number of second-class measurement objects on a SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements. SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS.
[0314] J' = 2J.
[0315] Accordingly, the carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: N (for the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval in the different RAT, and the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval in the different frequency). SCC_SSB -N SCC_SSB_NW_IND +Y+Z+2*(N SCC_CSIRS -N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND )-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM -N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND ;
[0316] The CSSF for the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements on FR2 is:
[0317] 2*[J]×(1+N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0318] The CSCF of the second type of measurement object is: 2*[J]×(N) SCC_SSB_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND ).
[0319] Specifically, J = 1 when the SCC indicated by the network is an SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement; J = 0.5 when the network does not indicate an SCC, or when the SCC indicated by the network is an SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0320] Below are some specific examples based on different network indication scenarios:
[0321] Scenario 1: The network does not indicate the second type of measurement object.
[0322] For example, the multiple measurement objects indicated by the first information include: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0323] In this case, the allocation of measurement objects on each measurement channel can be referred to Figure 7A. The CSSF configuration for each measurement object is as follows:
[0324] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: N (for the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurements, the first type of measurement object with different RATs without measurement intervals, and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies without measurement intervals). SCC_SSB +Y+Z+2*N SCC_CSIRS -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM ;
[0325] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: (1+N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM ).
[0326] The explanations of each parameter are as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0327] Case 2: The network indicates a second type of measurement object, and the second type of measurement object is not a measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2.
[0328] For example, the multiple measurement objects indicated by the first information include: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, and the second type of measurement object; wherein, the second type of measurement object is not the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0329] In this case, the allocation of measurement objects on each measurement channel can be referred to Figure 7B. The CSSF configuration for each measurement object is as follows:
[0330] The CSSF for each of the following measurement objects is as follows: Type I measurement objects on SCCs of FR1, Type I measurement objects on SCCs of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurements, Type I measurement objects with different RATs without measurement intervals, and Type I measurement objects with different frequencies without measurement intervals.
[0331] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 2×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0332] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object is: 2×(N) SCC_SSB_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND ).
[0333] The explanations of each parameter are as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0334] Case 3: The network indicates a second type of measurement object, and the second type of measurement object is a measurement object on the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement on FR2.
[0335] In this case, the CSSF configuration for each measurement object is the same as in Case 1. The assignment of measurement objects on each measurement channel can be seen in Figure 7A. The CSSF configuration for each measurement object is as follows:
[0336] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each of the following measurement objects is: N (for the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurements, the first type of measurement object with different RATs without measurement intervals, and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies without measurement intervals). SCC_SSB +Y+Z+2*N SCC_CSIRS -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM ;
[0337] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object (i.e., the second type of measurement object) on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: (1+N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM ).
[0338] The explanations of each parameter are as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0339] In practice, CSSF configuration can be in tabular form. For example, based on the various scenarios in Table 3, Tables 4A and 4B provide CSSF configuration examples for the first allocation method described above.
[0340] It is understandable that, due to the length limitations of this article, the CSSF configuration is described in two tables, although Tables 4A and 4B can actually be a single table.
[0341] It is understandable that, due to space limitations, the names of the measurement objects in Tables 4A and 4B have been abbreviated. Specifically, FR1 PCC corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the PCC of FR1 mentioned above; FR1 SCC corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1 mentioned above; FR2 PCC corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the PCC of FR2; FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 requiring neighbor cell measurement mentioned above; FR2 SCC not requiring neighbor cell measurement corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 not requiring neighbor cell measurement mentioned above; MO with no measurement interval at different frequencies corresponds to the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval at different frequencies mentioned above; MO with no measurement interval on E-UTRA different RAT corresponds to the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval on different RAT mentioned above; and SCC on FR1 or FR2 indicated by the network corresponds to the second type of measurement object mentioned above.
[0342] Table 4A
[0343] Table 4B
[0344] The notes for Tables 4A and 4B are as follows: Note 1: For FR1+FR2 inter-band CA, only one FR1 operating frequency band and one FR2 operating frequency band are included. Note 2: The selection of the FR2 secondary carrier requiring neighbor cell measurement follows Clause 9.2.3.2. Note 3: If only one secondary cell is configured and no inter-frequency measurement object without spacing is configured, and only L3 measurement based on SSB is configured on the SCC, then CSSF = 1; if only one SCell is configured and no inter-frequency MO without spacing is configured, and L3 measurement based on SSB and CSI-RS or only L3 measurement based on CSI-RS is configured on the SCC, then CSSF = 2. Note 4: Y is the number of inter-frequency MOs configured without spacing and measured outside the spacing; otherwise, Y is 0. Note 5: For FR2 inter-band CA, only two NRFR2 operating frequency bands are included. Note 6: If the primary carrier is configured with L3 measurement based on SSB and CSI-RS or only L3 measurement based on CSI-RS, then N PCC_CSIRS =1; otherwise, N PCC_CSIRS =0. Note 7: NSCC_CSIRS = The number of SCells configured with L3 measurements based on SSB and CSI-RS or only configured with L3 measurements based on CSI-RS. Note 8: If FR2 SCCs requiring neighbor cell measurements are configured with measurements based on SSB and CSI-RS or only configured with CSI-RS, then N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM =1; otherwise, N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM =0. Note 9: N SCC_SSB= The number of SCells configured for L3 measurements based solely on SSB without intervals. Note 10: If the PSCC is configured for RSSI / CO measurements without intervals when RMTC and SMTC overlap, then N PCC_CCA_RSSI / CO =1; N SCC_CCA_RSSI / CO = The number of MOs in SCells for RSSI / CO measurements without intervals when RMTC and SMTC overlap.
[0345] Note 11: Z is the number of E-UTRA heterogeneous system MOs configured to be measured outside the interval without interval; otherwise, Z is 0.
[0346] Note 12: J = 0.5 when the network does not indicate SCC or the network indicates that FR2 SCC requires neighbor cell measurement; J = 1 when the network indicates SCC. Note 13: If there is a CSSF value of 0, this value will be set to N / A.
[0347] It is understood that Tables 4A and 4B are merely examples, and are not limited to these in practice.
[0348] Through the above design, the CSSF values of all measurement objects can meet the design constraints of CSSF values regardless of whether there is a network indication (i.e., whether there is a second type of measurement object), ensuring the rationality and feasibility of the solution. Furthermore, through the above CSSF value constraints, the resources of the three measurement channels can be rationally utilized. This not only ensures that measurement objects on SCCs requiring neighbor cell measurements on FR2 have a higher measurement priority than in previous designs, but also ensures that second-type measurement objects also have a higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency) when the network indicates a second type of measurement object, better meeting the actual measurement needs of the network. For other SCCs on FR1 and FR2, placing the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements on FR2 on measurement channel 3 will release the resources originally occupied by the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements on measurement channel 2, thus accelerating the measurement speed of other SCCs on FR1 and FR2.
[0349] In one possible design, under the first allocation method, the type of measurement object can dynamically change according to network requirements. When a measurement object changes from the first type to the second type, the allocation of measurement objects on each measurement channel and the CSSF configuration of each measurement object change. The following is a specific example of the CSSF configuration process, as shown in Figure 8, including the following steps S501–S504:
[0350] S501, The first communication device sends first information, and the second communication device receives the first information, which is measurement configuration information.
[0351] The measurement configuration information indicates multiple measurement objects, including: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0352] Optionally, the measurement configuration information may also indicate one or more of the following:
[0353] 1) Report configuration: consists of attributes such as measurement event information and event reporting trigger quantity.
[0354] 2) Measurement Identifier (ID) Configuration: The measurement ID combines the measurement object with the report configuration as a set.
[0355] 3) SMTC configuration: consists of SMTC period, SMTC duration, and SMTC bias.
[0356] 4) Measurement Interval (MG) Configuration: Consists of MG duration, MG period, etc.
[0357] 5) Other configurations, such as derivedSSB-IndexFromCell cell optimization configuration, SSB beam measurement result selection and merging configuration, measurement filtering configuration, etc.
[0358] Of course, the above are just examples, and the actual situation is not limited to these.
[0359] S502, the second communication device configures the CSSF of each of the following objects according to the first information: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object with different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object with different frequency without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0360] The allocation of measurement objects on the measurement channel can be referred to Figure 7A. The CSSF configuration of each measurement object can be referred to Case 1 above, or the configuration when J=0.5 in Tables 4A to 4B.
[0361] S503, the second communication device sends the second information, and the first communication device receives the second information.
[0362] The second information is used to indicate n second-class measurement objects, and the n second-class objects include N SCC_SSB_NW_INDThe first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS;
[0363] S504, the second communication device reconfigures the CSSF of each of the following objects according to the second information: the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object of the SCC of FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, and configures the CSSF of n second type of measurement objects.
[0364] It is understandable that since the network indicates n second-type objects, measurement resources need to be allocated for these second-type objects on measurement channel 3. The first-type measurement objects on the SCC of the neighboring cell required by FR2 will change from exclusively occupying measurement channel 3 to sharing measurement channel 3 with the second-type objects. Furthermore, since these n second-type objects were originally measured on measurement channel 2, and are now being moved to measurement channel 3, the CSSF values of the remaining measurement objects on the original measurement channel 2 also need to be changed accordingly.
[0365] The allocation of measurement objects on the measurement channel can be seen in Figure 7B. The CSSF configuration of each measurement object can be seen in Case 2 above, or in the configuration when J=0.1 in Tables 4A and 4B.
[0366] It should be noted that if the second information indicates the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement on FR2, since the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement on FR2 itself exclusively occupies measurement channel 3, the CSSF of each measurement object remains unchanged. The allocation of measurement objects on the measurement channel can be referred to Figure 7A, and the CSSF configuration of each measurement object can be referred to Case 3 above, or to the configuration when J=0.5 in Tables 4A to 4B.
[0367] Through the above design, the network can flexibly adjust the measurement objects that need to be measured first by instructing the second type of measurement objects, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of CSSF configuration, which can improve the network's flexibility in measurement task management and better meet the actual measurement needs of the network.
[0368] The second allocation method:
[0369] The type of measurement object on measurement channel 1 remains unchanged (i.e., the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1 is on measurement channel 1); on FR1, all measurement objects except the first type of measurement object on the PCC are on measurement channel 2; all measurement objects on FR2 are on measurement channel 3. Details are as follows:
[0370] 1) Possible measurement objects on measurement channel 1 include: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1 (or the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1).
[0371] It is understood that the embodiments of this application take the example that the measurement objects on the PCC on FR1 are all first-type measurement objects. Therefore, the measurement objects on the PCC on FR1 can also be described as first-type measurement objects on the PCC on FR1.
[0372] 2) Possible measurement objects on measurement channel 2 include: the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and different frequency, the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval and different RAT, and the second type of measurement object on FR1.
[0373] It is understood that the number of various measurement objects on measurement channel 2 may be one or more, or zero, without restriction. When the number of a certain type of measurement object is zero, it means that the network has not configured that type of measurement object, that is, there is no such measurement object on measurement channel 2.
[0374] It is understandable that the second type of measurement object will only be available on measurement channel 2 after the network indicates the second type of measurement object on FR1; otherwise, only the first type of measurement object will be available.
[0375] Optionally, the network can designate any measurement object on the SCC of FR1 as a second type of measurement object on FR1. A second type of measurement object on FR1 can also be referred to as a second type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1.
[0376] 3) Possible measurement objects on measurement channel 3 include: the first type of measurement object on SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2, the first type of measurement object of different frequencies on FR2 without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2, and the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0377] It is understandable that the number of various measurement objects on measurement channel 3 may be one or more, or zero, without restriction. When the number of a certain type of measurement object is zero, it means that the network has not configured that type of measurement object, that is, there is no such measurement object on measurement channel 3.
[0378] It is understandable that measurement channel 3 will only have a second type of measurement object after the network designates it as such; otherwise, it will only have a first type of measurement object. The network can designate any measurement object on the SCC of FR2 as a second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0379] Optionally, the network can designate one or more of the following as second-type measurement objects on the SCC of FR2: measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurement, measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that require neighbor cell measurement, etc. Second-type measurement objects on FR2 can also be referred to as second-type measurement objects on the SCC of FR2.
[0380] See Figures 9A to 9D for example diagrams showing the assignment states of the measurement objects for several possible measurement channels.
[0381] In Figure 9A, the network does not indicate any second type of measurement object. Therefore, measurement channel 2 has the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement object of the different frequency on FR1 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object of the different RAT without measurement interval. Measurement channel 3 has the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of the different frequency on FR2 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0382] In Figure 9B, the network indicates the second type of measurement object on FR1, but does not indicate the second type of measurement object on FR2. Therefore, measurement channel 2 has the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and different frequency, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and different RAT, and the second type of measurement object on FR1. Measurement channel 3 has the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object on FR2 with no measurement interval and different RAT, the first type of measurement object on FR2 with no measurement interval and different frequency, and the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0383] In Figure 9C, the network indicates the second type of measurement object on FR2, but does not indicate the second type of measurement object on FR1. Therefore, measurement channel 2 has the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and the first type of measurement object on RAT with no measurement interval. Measurement channel 3 has the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object on FR2 with no measurement interval and the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, and the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0384] In Figure 9D, the network indicates the second type of measurement objects on FR2 and the second type of measurement objects on FR1. Therefore, measurement channel 2 has the first type of measurement objects on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement objects on FR1 with no measurement interval and different frequencies, the first type of measurement objects on FR1 with no measurement interval and different RAT, and the second type of measurement objects on FR1. Measurement channel 3 has the first type of measurement objects on the SCC on FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement objects on FR2 with no measurement interval and different frequencies, the first type of measurement objects on the SCC on FR2 that require neighbor cell measurement, and the second type of measurement objects on FR2.
[0385] In this mode, the terminal device can simultaneously measure three measurement objects (i.e., the first measurement object, the second measurement object, and the third measurement object), namely: one measurement object on measurement channel 1, one measurement object on measurement channel 2, and one measurement object on measurement channel 3. Specifically, the first measurement object is the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1; the second measurement object is one of the following: the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval at a different frequency, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval at a different RAT, or the second type of measurement object on FR1; the third measurement object is one of the following: the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object on FR2 with no measurement interval at a different frequency, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, or the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0386] It is understandable that when the measurement objects on the SCC of FR1 and the SCC of FR2 are assigned to the same measurement channel, the UE needs to frequently switch radio frequencies between FR1 and FR2 to complete the measurement of the measurement objects on the SCC of FR1 and the SCC of FR2.
[0387] The above allocation method assigns the measurement objects on FR1 and FR2 to different measurement channels, which can avoid the UE frequently switching radio frequencies between FR1 and FR2, improve the overall measurement efficiency, and reduce the UE power consumption.
[0388] Furthermore, it can prevent the network from affecting the CSSF of the measurement object on FR1 when indicating the second type of measurement object on FR2, and also prevent the network from affecting the CSSF of the measurement object on FR2 when indicating the second type of measurement object on FR1, thereby reducing the CSSF adjustment range.
[0389] Furthermore, when there is no second-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement object on FR1 without measurement interval and the first-type measurement object on FR1 with different frequency and different RAT without measurement interval exclusively occupy measurement channel 2. When there is a second-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the second-type measurement object on FR1 shares measurement channel 2 with the first-type measurement object on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement object on FR1 without measurement interval and the first-type measurement object on FR1 with different frequency and different RAT without measurement interval. When there is no second-type measurement object on FR2, the first-type measurement object on FR2 exclusively occupies measurement channel 3. When there is a second-type measurement object on FR2, the second-type measurement object on FR1 shares measurement channel 3 with the first-type measurement object on FR2. This can improve resource utilization while ensuring that the second-type measurement object indicated by the network has a higher measurement priority (or higher measurement efficiency).
[0390] In one possible design, under the second allocation method, the CSSF configuration of each measurement object on measurement channel 2 can be as follows:
[0391] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval on FR1, and the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval on RAT is: [K′]×(N′SCC_SSB_FR1+Y _FR1 +Z+2*N′SCC_CSIRS_FR1);
[0392] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR1 is: [K′]×N SCC_FR1_NW_IND ;
[0393] The parameters above are explained as follows:
[0394] N'SCC_SSB_FR1 is related to the number of SCells on FR1 that are configured only with L3 measurements based on SSB, and the number of second-class measurement objects on SCells on FR1 that are configured only with L3 measurements based on SSB.
[0395] Y _FR1 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR1 that do not have a measurement interval.
[0396] Z represents the number of measurement objects in the different RATs without measurement intervals;
[0397] N′SCC_CSIRS_FR1 is related to the number of measurement objects on SCCs configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on FR1 that do not require neighbor cell measurements, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCCs configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on FR1; N SCC_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-type measurement objects on the SCell configured with only SSB-based L3 measurement on the FR1, and the number of second-type measurement objects configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on the FR1;
[0398] The second type of measurement object on FR1 is the measurement object on SCC on FR1 indicated by the network; when the network indicates the measurement object on SCC on FR1, K′=2; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on SCC on FR1, K′=1.
[0399] It's understandable that before measuring an object on a CSI-RS-configured SCC, the SSB reference signal at that frequency point needs to be measured first, and then the CSI-RS reference signal at that frequency point needs to be measured. This results in two measurements being performed on the object on the CSI-RS-configured SCC. Therefore, in this paper, the number of quantities related to the object on the CSI-RS-configured SCC needs to be multiplied by 2, for example, 2*N′SCC_CSIRS_FR1.
[0400] In practical applications, the parameters in the above formula can be implemented in multiple ways. Here is a specific example:
[0401] N'SCC_SSB_FR1 is related to the number of SCells on FR1 that are configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCells on FR1 that are configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements. Specifically, N'SCC_SSB_FR1 = N SCC_SSB_FR1 -N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND ; where N SCC_SSB_FR1 The number of SCells configured on FR1 for only SSB-based L3 measurements, N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements on FR1;
[0402] N′SCC_CSIRS_FR1 is related to the number of measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR1 (where neighbor cell measurement is not required), and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR1. Specifically, N′SCC_CSIRS_FR1 = NSCC_CSIRS_FR1 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ; where N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 N represents the number of objects to be measured on an SCC (Surface Mount Control Center) on FR1 that has both SSB and CSI-RS configured, or only CSI-RS configured, without requiring neighbor cell measurements. SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on the SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS on the FR1 or only CSI-RS;
[0403] N SCC_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-type measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement on the FR1, and the number of second-type measurement objects configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on the FR1, are related to: N SCC_FR1_NW_IND =(N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ; where N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND N is the number of second-type measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements on the FR1. SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND The number of second-type measurement objects that are simultaneously configured with SSB and CSI-RS or only configured with CSI-RS on the FR1;
[0404] K' = 2K.
[0405] Correspondingly, the CSSF of each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR1 without measurement intervals, and the first type of measurement object with different RATs without measurement intervals is: 2*[K]×(N SCC_SSB_FR1 -N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +Y _FR1 +Z+2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ));
[0406] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR1 is: 2*[K]×(N) SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ).
[0407] Among them, the second type of measurement object on FR1 is the measurement object on FR1 indicated by the network; when the network indicates the measurement object on FR1, K=1; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on FR1, K=0.5.
[0408] Below are some specific examples based on different network indication scenarios:
[0409] Case 1: The network does not indicate the second type of measurement object on FR1.
[0410] For example, the multiple measurement objects indicated by the first information include the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval and the RAT.
[0411] In this case, the allocation of measurement objects on measurement channel 2 can be referenced in Figure 9A or Figure 9C. The CSSF configuration for each measurement object on measurement channel 2 is as follows:
[0412] The carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF) for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on FR1 SCC, the first type of measurement object on FR1 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on RAT without measurement interval is: (N SCC_SSB_FR1 +Y _FR1 +Z+2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 ).
[0413] The explanations of each parameter are as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0414] Case 2: The network indicates the second type of measurement object on FR1.
[0415] For example, the multiple measurement objects indicated by the first information include the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on FR1 with no measurement interval and different frequency, the first type of measurement object with no measurement interval and different RAT, and the second type of measurement object on FR1.
[0416] In this case, the assignment of measurement objects on measurement channel 2 can be referenced in Figure 9B or Figure 9D. The CSSF configuration for each measurement object is as follows:
[0417] The CSSF for each of the following measurement objects is: 2 × (N) (This is a partial list of measurement objects on FR1, SCC, and RAT, and is not part of the FR1 measurement object list.) SCC_SSB_FR1 -N SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +Y _FR1 +Z+2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR1 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ));
[0418] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR1 is: 2×(N) SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND ).
[0419] The explanations of each parameter are as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0420] Under the second allocation method, the CSSF configuration of each measurement object on measurement channel 3 can be as follows:
[0421] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: [J′]×(N′SCC_SSB_FR2+Y _FR2 +2*N′SCC_CSIRS_FR2-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0422] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: [J′]×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0423] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR2 is: [J′]×N SCC_FR2_NW_IND ;
[0424] Among them, N′SCC_SSB_FR2 is related to the number of SCells on FR2 that are only configured with L3 measurement based on SSB, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCells on FR2 that are only configured with L3 measurement based on SSB.
[0425] Y _FR2 This represents the number of different frequency measurement objects on FR2 that do not have a measurement interval;
[0426] The number of measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR2 without requiring neighbor cell measurements, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCCs with SSB and CSI-RS configured simultaneously or only CSI-RS configured on FR2;
[0427] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM The number of measurement objects on an SCC that requires neighbor cell measurements and is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or only CSI-RS, on an FR2.
[0428] N SCC_FR2_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on SCells with only SSB-based L3 measurements configured on FR2, and the number of second-class measurement objects on SCCs with both SSB and CSI-RS configured on FR2, or with only CSI-RS configured.
[0429] The second type of measurement object on FR2 is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network; when the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, J′=3; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on the SCC on FR2, or when the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, J′=2.
[0430] It's understandable that before measuring an object on a CSI-RS-configured SCC, the SSB reference signal at that frequency point needs to be measured first, and then the CSI-RS reference signal at that frequency point needs to be measured. This results in two measurements being performed on the object on the CSI-RS-configured SCC. Therefore, in this paper, the quantities related to the object on the CSI-RS-configured SCC need to be multiplied by 2, for example, 2*N′SCC_CSIRS_FR2.
[0431] In practical applications, the parameters in the above formula can be implemented in multiple ways. Here is a specific example:
[0432] N′SCC_SSB_FR2 is related to the number of SCells on FR2 that are configured only with L3 measurements based on SSB, and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCells on FR2 that are configured only with L3 measurements based on SSB. Specifically, N′SCC_SSB_FR2 = N SCC_SSB_FR2 -N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND ;
[0433] N′SCC_CSIRS_FR2 is related to the number of measurement objects on SCCs configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on FR2 (where neighbor cell measurements are not required) and the number of second-type measurement objects on SCCs configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on FR2. Specifically, N′SCC_CSIRS_FR2 = N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND ;
[0434] N SCC_FR2_NW_IND The number of Category II measurement objects on SCells configured with only SSB-based L3 measurements on FR2, and the number of Category II measurement objects on SCCs configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on FR2, are related to the following: N SCC_FR2_NW_IND =N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND ;
[0435] Where, N SCC_SSB_FR2 The number of SCells configured on FR2 for L3 measurements based on SSB is specified.
[0436] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 The number of objects to be measured on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS on an FR2 without requiring neighbor cell measurements;
[0437] N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_INDThe number of second-class measurement objects on the SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurements on FR2;
[0438] N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND The number of second-class measurement objects on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS on an FR2, or only with CSI-RS configured;
[0439] J′=2J.
[0440] Correspondingly, the CSSF of each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: 2*[J]×(N SCC_SSB_FR2 -N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +Y _FR2 +2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND )-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0441] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 2*[J]×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0442] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR2 is: 2*[J]×(N) SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND ).
[0443] Among them, the second type of measurement object on FR2 is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network; when the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, J = 3 / 2; when the network does not indicate the measurement object on the SCC on FR2, or when the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 indicated by the network is the measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement, J = 1.
[0444] Below are some specific examples based on different network indication scenarios:
[0445] Case 1: The network does not indicate the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0446] For example, the multiple measurement objects indicated by the first information include: the first type of measurement object on the SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2, the first type of measurement object of different frequencies on FR2 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2.
[0447] In this case, the allocation of measurement objects on measurement channel 3 can be referenced in Figure 9A or Figure 9B. The CSSF configuration for each measurement object on measurement channel 3 is as follows:
[0448] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: 2×(N SCC_SSB_FR2 +Y _FR2 +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 -1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0449] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 2*×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM ).
[0450] The explanations of each parameter are as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0451] Case 2: The network indicates the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0452] For example, the multiple measurement objects indicated by the first information include: the first type of measurement object on the SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2, the first type of measurement object of different frequencies on FR2 without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2, and the second type of measurement object on FR2.
[0453] In this case, the assignment of measurement objects on measurement channel 3 can be referenced in Figure 9C or Figure 9D. The CSSF configuration for each measurement object is as follows:
[0454] The CSSF for each measurement object in the first type of measurement object on SCC (where neighbor cell measurement is not required) and the first type of measurement object with different frequencies on FR2 (where there is no measurement interval) is: 3 × (N SCC_SSB_FR2 -N SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +Y _FR2 +2*(N SCC_CSIRS_FR2 -N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND )-1-N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0455] The CSSF of the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement on FR2 is: 3×(1+N) SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM );
[0456] The CSSF of the second type of measurement object on FR2 is: 3×(N) SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND +2*N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND ).
[0457] The explanations of each parameter are as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0458] In practice, CSSF configuration can be in tabular form. For example, based on the various scenarios in Table 3, Tables 5A and 5B provide CSSF configuration examples under the second allocation method described above.
[0459] It is understandable that, due to the length limitations of this article, the CSSF configuration is described in two tables, although Tables 5A and 5B can actually be a single table.
[0460] It is understandable that the names of the measurement objects in Tables 5A and 5B have been abbreviated due to space limitations. Among them, FR1 PCC corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the PCC of FR1 above; FR1 SCC corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the SCC of FR1 above; FR2 PCC corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the PCC of FR2 above; FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the SCC requiring neighbor cell measurement of FR2 above; FR2 SCC not requiring neighbor cell measurement corresponds to the first type of measurement object on the SCC not requiring neighbor cell measurement of FR2 above; MO of different frequency without measurement interval on FR1 corresponds to the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval on FR1 above; MO of different frequency without measurement interval on FR2 corresponds to the first type of measurement object of different frequency without measurement interval on FR2 above; MO of different RAT without measurement interval on E-UTRA corresponds to the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval above; SCC on FR1 indicated by network corresponds to the second type of measurement object on FR1 above; SCC on FR2 indicated by network corresponds to the second type of measurement object on FR2 above.
[0461] Table 5A
[0462] Table 5B
[0463] The notes for Tables 5A and 5B are as follows:
[0464] Note 1: For FR1+FR2 inter-band carrier aggregation, only one FR1 working frequency band and one FR2 working frequency band are included.
[0465] Note 2: The selection of FR2 SCCs requiring neighbor cell measurements follows Clause 9.2.3.2.
[0466] Note 3: If only one secondary cell is configured and no interval-free inter-frequency MO is configured, and only SSB-based L3 measurements are configured on the SCC, then CSSF = 1; if only one SCell is configured and no interval-free inter-frequency MO is configured, and L3 measurements based on SSB and CSI-RS or only CSI-RS-based L3 measurements are configured on the SCC, then CSSF = 2.
[0467] Note 4: Y is the number of different frequency MOs configured to be measured outside the interval without interval; otherwise, Y is 0.
[0468] Note 5: For FR2 interband CA, only two NRFR2 operating frequency bands are included.
[0469] Note 6: If the PCC is configured with L3 measurements based on SSB and CSI-RS or only with L3 measurements based on CSI-RS, then NPCC_CSIRS = 1; otherwise, NPCC_CSIRS = 0.
[0470] Note 7: NSCC_CSIRS = The number of SCells configured with both SSB and CSI-RS-based L3 measurements or only CSI-RS-based L3 measurements.
[0471] Note 8: If the FR2 SCC requiring neighbor cell measurements is configured with both SSB-based and CSI-RS-based measurements, or only CSI-RS-based measurements, then N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM =1; otherwise, N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NCM =0.
[0472] Note 9: N SCC_SSB = The number of SCells configured for L3 measurements based solely on SSB without requiring intervals.

[0476] When NW indicates FR1 SCC, K=1; J=1;
[0477] When NW indicates FR2 SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement, K = 0.5; J = 3 / 2.
[0478] Note 13: If a CSSF value is 0, this value will be set to N / A.
[0479] It is understood that Tables 5A and 5B are merely examples and are not limited to these in practice.
[0480] The above design ensures that the CSSF values of all measurement objects conform to the CSSF design constraints regardless of the presence or absence of network indication (i.e., the presence or absence of a second type of measurement object), guaranteeing the rationality and feasibility of the solution. Furthermore, the CSSF constraints allow for the efficient use of the resources of the three measurement channels, improving resource utilization while ensuring that the second type of measurement objects with network indication have high measurement priority (or high measurement efficiency). Additionally, it avoids frequent RF switching between FR1 and FR2 by the UE, improving overall measurement efficiency and reducing UE power consumption.
[0481] In one possible design, under the second allocation method, the type of measurement object can dynamically change according to network requirements. When a measurement object changes from the first type to the second type, the allocation of measurement objects on each measurement channel and the CSSF configuration of each measurement object change accordingly. A specific example is given below, see Figure 10, including the following steps:
[0482] S601, The first communication device sends first information, and the second communication device receives the first information, which is measurement configuration information.
[0483] The measurement configuration information indicates multiple measurement objects, including: the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object of different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of different frequency on FR2 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement.
[0484] For other information in the measurement configuration information, please refer to the relevant introduction in S501, which will not be repeated here.
[0485] S602, the second communication device configures the CSSF of each of the following objects according to the first information: the first type of measurement object on the PCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR1, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object on the different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that does not require neighbor cell measurement, the first type of measurement object on the different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object on FR2 that has a different frequency without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC on FR2 that requires neighbor cell measurement;
[0486] The allocation of measurement objects on measurement channels 2 and 3 can be referred to Figure 9A. The CSSF configuration of each measurement object can be referred to the configuration when K=0.5 and J=1 in Tables 5A to 5B.
[0487] S603, the first communication device sends the third information, and the second communication device receives the third information.
[0488] The third information is used to indicate the n1 second-class measurement objects on FR1, and the n1 second-class measurement objects include N on FR1. SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS.
[0489] S604, the second communication device reconfigures the CSSF of each of the first type of measurement objects on the SCC of FR1, the first type of measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurement, and the first type of measurement objects of different RATs without measurement intervals, according to the third information, and configures the CSSF of n1 second type of measurement objects.
[0490] It is understandable that, since the network indicates n1 second-type measurement objects on FR1, measurement resources need to be allocated for these n1 second-type measurement objects on measurement channel 2. The first-type measurement objects on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurement, and the first-type measurement objects in different RATs without measurement intervals, which originally exclusively occupied measurement channel 2, now share measurement channel 2 with the n1 second-type measurement objects on FR1. Therefore, the CSSF values of the first-type measurement objects on the SCC of FR1, the first-type measurement objects on the SCC of FR2 that do not require neighbor cell measurement, and the first-type measurement objects in different RATs without measurement intervals also need to change accordingly. Furthermore, since these n1 second-type measurement objects were originally N on FR1... SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS, so the number of the first type of measurement objects on channel 2 needs to be reduced by N. SCC_SSB_FR1_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_FR1_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS.
[0491] The allocation of measurement objects on measurement channel 2 can be found in Figure 9B or Figure 9D. The CSSF configuration of each measurement object can be found in Tables 5A and 5B when K=1 and J=1.
[0492] S605, The first communication device sends the fourth information, and the second communication device receives the fourth information.
[0493] The fourth piece of information is used to indicate the n2 second-class measurement objects on FR2, where the n2 second-class measurement objects on FR2 include N on FR2. SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS;
[0494] S606, the second communication device reconfigures the CSSF of each of the following objects based on the fourth information: the first type of measurement object on the SCC that does not require neighbor cell measurement on FR2, the first type of measurement object of the different RAT without measurement interval, the first type of measurement object of the different frequency on FR2 without measurement interval, and the first type of measurement object on the SCC that requires neighbor cell measurement on FR2, and configures the CSSF of n2 second type of measurement objects.
[0495] It is understandable that, since the network indicates n2 second-type measurement objects on FR2, measurement resources need to be allocated for these n2 second-type measurement objects on measurement channel 3. Other measurement objects on FR2 share measurement channel 3 with these n2 second-type measurement objects, therefore the CSSF values of these other measurement objects also need to change accordingly. Furthermore, since these n2 second-type measurement objects were originally N on FR2... SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS, so the number of the first type of measurement objects on measurement channel 3 should be reduced by N on FR2. SCC_SSB_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCell configured only with SSB-based L3 measurement, and N SCC_CSIRS_FR2_NW_IND The first type of measurement object on an SCC that is configured with both SSB and CSI-RS, or an SCC that is configured with only CSI-RS.
[0496] The allocation of measurement objects on measurement channel 3 can be found in Figure 9C or Figure 9D. The CSSF configuration of each measurement object can be found in Tables 5A and 5B when K=1 and J=3 / 2.
[0497] It should be noted that this application does not restrict the order of S603-S604 and S605-S606. Furthermore, S603 and S605 can be implemented in the same step; for example, the third and fourth information can be carried by the same message.
[0498] Through the above design, the network can flexibly adjust the measurement objects that need to be measured first by instructing the second type of measurement objects, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of CSSF configuration, which can improve the network's flexibility in measurement task management and better meet the actual measurement needs of the network.
[0499] The above describes two possible allocation methods and their corresponding CSSF configurations. It is understood that in practical applications, other allocation methods can be extended as needed. For example, in the second allocation method, the first type of measurement objects with different frequencies that do not have measurement intervals on FR1 and FR2 can be allocated to measurement channels 2 and 3 respectively, or they can be allocated equally among measurement channels 2 and 3. The CSSF configurations under other allocation methods can refer to the above design ideas, and will not be elaborated further in this application.
[0500] It is understood that the above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination, and this application does not impose any restrictions.
