[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510471812.2, filed on April 15, 2025, entitled "Wireless Communication Method, Terminal and Network Side Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application belongs to the field of communication technology, specifically relating to a wireless communication method, terminal, and network-side equipment. Background Technology

[0004] In related technologies, the terminal measures the downlink reference signal based on the measurement gap (GAP).

[0005] Furthermore, the terminal's receive link (RX chain) modes mainly include separate receive link mode and shared receive link mode. Separate receive link mode means that each carrier uses a separate receive link, while shared receive link mode allows multiple carriers to share a single receive link, thus saving hardware resources and improving spectrum efficiency.

[0006] However, if the terminal switches its receive link mode, the network-side equipment usually needs to reconfigure the measurement gap for the terminal, and then measure the downlink reference signal based on the reconfigured measurement gap. This reduces the measurement flexibility of the downlink reference signal, and thus reduces the measurement effect of the downlink signal. Summary of the Invention

[0045] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of this application, the related technologies are described.

[0046] (1) Carrier aggregation.

[0047] To support wider transmission bandwidth, two or more component carriers are aggregated together, thereby achieving higher peak rates and throughput.

[0048] To make more efficient use of fragmented spectrum, as shown in Figure 2, carrier aggregation supports aggregation between different carrier units:

[0049] A) Adjacent carrier units within the same frequency band. For example, intra-band contiguous CA.

[0050] B) Non-adjacent carrier units within the same frequency band. For example, intra-band non-contiguous carrier units (CA).

[0051] C) Carrier units within different frequency bands. For example, inter-band (CA).

[0052] (2) Fragmented carriers and blockers.

[0053] A frequency band may be allocated to several operators, and the spectrum allocated to the same operator may not always be continuous but rather fragmented. If an operator wants to aggregate several fragmented frequency bands simultaneously, it typically needs to use a separate receiving link for each part.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] Figure 3 shows an example of fragmentation in the FR1 low-frequency band in a certain region. The same fill pattern represents spectrum access by the same operator, and each band block width is 5MHz. The spectrum in the n26 and n5 bands is allocated to two operators: Operator 1 and Operator 2. In the regional network of this region, in the in-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation (CA) combination CA_n26(2A), Component Carrier (CC)1 and CC2 are the carriers participating in the aggregation, and the intermediate carrier can be defined as a blocker.

[0056] Metro networks refer to networks within a metropolitan area, typically used to connect different locations within a city, providing high-speed data transmission and communication services. Regional networks, on the other hand, refer to networks connecting an entire region, typically used to span cities, rural areas, and other geographical locations, providing wider communication coverage and connectivity.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] Figure 4 shows an example of FR1 low-frequency band fragmentation in a certain region and FR1 mid-frequency band fragmentation in Canada. The same filled pattern indicates spectrum access by the same operator, and each band block width is 5MHz. Advanced Wireless Services (AWS), Personal Communications Service (PCS), and Broadband Radio Service (BRS) refer to the spectrum used to provide broadband wireless communication services.

[0059] (3) Measurement gap (GAP) configuration.

[0060] Measurements are categorized as either gap-assisted or non-gap-assisted. Specifically, whether a measurement is gap-assisted or non-gap-assisted depends primarily on the UE's capabilities, its effective bandwidth portion (BWP), and its current operating frequency.

[0061] For SSB-based inter-frequency measurements, if the UE reports measurement gap requirement information, the measurement gap configuration can be provided based on that information. Otherwise, the measurement gap configuration is always provided in the following cases:

[0062] If the UE only supports the measurement gap for each UE;

[0063] If the UE supports the measurement gap for each FR and any serving cell is within the same frequency range of the measurement object.

[0064] For in-frequency measurements based on synchronization signals and / or physical broadcast channel blocks (SSBs), if the UE reports measurement gap requirement information, a measurement gap configuration can be provided based on that information. Otherwise, a measurement gap configuration is always provided in the following cases:

[0065] Apart from the initial BWP, if any UE's configured BWP does not contain frequency domain resources of the SSB associated with the initial DL BWP, and no NCD-SSB is configured for serving cell measurements, then the UE is considered to have a BWP configured for serving cell measurements.

[0066] For in-frequency measurements based on Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), no measurement gap is required.

[0067] For CSI-RS-based inter-frequency measurements, a measurement gap configuration is always provided in the following cases:

[0068] If the UE only supports measurement intervals per UE;

[0069] If the UE supports per-frequency-range (FR) measurement intervals, and any serving cell is located within the same frequency range of the measurement object.

[0070] In non-gap-assisted scenarios, the UE should be able to perform such measurements without a measurement gap. In gap-assisted scenarios, it cannot be assumed that the UE can perform such measurements without a measurement gap.

[0071] In scenarios requiring gap-assisted measurements, a simple approach is to install two types of radio frequency receivers in the UE device to measure the frequency of the local cell and the target cell, respectively. However, this increases costs and introduces interference issues between different frequencies. Therefore, the concept of Measurement Gap (GAP) was proposed. This involves reserving a period of time (GAP) during which the UE does not transmit or receive any data but instead tunes its receiver to the target cell frequency for measurement. Once the GAP ends, the receiver returns to the local cell. When the UE is performing gap-assisted measurements, the eNB configures GAP parameters for the UE, including the GAP mode and GAP offset. These parameters are contained in the Measurement Gap Configuration (measGapConfig) element of the Measurement Configuration (MeasConfig) field in the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message.

[0072] The following are the requirements for the measurement GAP configuration and a description of the UE's behavior during the measurement GAP.

[0073] Measurement GAP configuration requirements:

[0074] If the UE needs to measure gaps to identify and measure co-frequency and / or inter-frequency and / or Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) cells between Radio Access Technologies (RATs):

[0075] If the UE does not support independent measurement gap modes for different frequency ranges, the network-side equipment must provide a per-UE measurement gap mode to monitor all frequency layers simultaneously.

[0076] If the UE supports independent measurement gap modes for different frequency ranges, the network-side equipment must provide either a per-FR measurement gap mode for the frequency range, where the UE requires per-FR measurement gaps to simultaneously monitor all frequency layers in each frequency range, or a per-UE measurement gap mode to simultaneously monitor all frequency layers in all frequency ranges.

[0077] UE behavior during measurement gap:

[0078] During each UE measurement interval, the UE:

[0079] Apart from receiving signals for Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements and signals for random access procedures, there is no need for E-UTRA-NR dual-connection reception / transmission from / to the corresponding E-UTRAN Primary Cell (PCell), E-UTRAN Secondary Cell (SCell), and NR serving cell.

[0080] Apart from receiving signals for RRM measurements, Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) measurements, and signals for random access procedures, there is no need to receive / transmit SA (Configure Single Carrier or CA) from / to the corresponding NR serving cell.

[0081] Apart from receiving signals for RRM measurements, PRS measurements, and random access procedures, there is no need to receive / transmit signals from / to the corresponding PCell, SCell, and NR-E-UTRA dual-connected E-UTRAN serving cell.

[0082] Aside from receiving signals for RRM measurements, PRS measurements, and random access procedures, it is not necessary to receive / transmit signals to the corresponding NR serving cell of the NR-DC.

[0083] During each FR measurement interval, UE:

[0084] Apart from receiving signals for RRM measurements and signals for random access procedures, it is not necessary to receive / transmit signals for the corresponding E-UTRAN PCell, E-UTRAN SCell, and NR serving cells in the corresponding frequency range for E-UTRAN-NR dual connectivity.

[0085] Apart from receiving signals for RRM measurements, PRS measurements, and random access procedures, it is not necessary to receive / transmit signals for the corresponding NR serving cell in the corresponding frequency range for SA (Configure Single Carrier or CA).

[0086] Apart from receiving signals for RRM measurements, PRS measurements, and signals for random access procedures, it is not necessary to receive / transmit signals from / to the corresponding PCell, SCell, and E-UTRAN serving cells within the corresponding frequency range of NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity.

[0087] Apart from receiving signals for RRM measurements, PRS measurements, and signals for random access procedures, it is not necessary to receive / transmit signals from / to the corresponding NR serving cell within the corresponding frequency range of the NR-DC.

[0088] It should be noted that for terminals supporting the shared receive link mode, under certain conditions, a single receive link can be configured to receive multiple non-contiguous carriers, while in other cases, separate receive links are required for reception on each non-contiguous carrier. This application proposes that terminals in shared receive link mode can use the reserved receive link for measurement without affecting the reception of the current serving cell. Furthermore, since the shared receive link mode covers a large frequency range, this application proposes that measurements on carrier units located in the middle of this frequency range can also be completed through the corresponding receive link without affecting service reception. Additionally, with the switching of receive link modes, the requirements for measurement gaps will also change; therefore, this application considers the impact of different receive link modes on measurement gap configuration.

[0089] Specifically, for measurements in the shared receive link mode, measurements are performed using an idle receive link or a carrier unit located in the middle position among the carrier units associated with the shared receive link, thereby reducing the impact on service transmission caused by configuring measurement gaps. In addition, the corresponding measurement gaps are directly activated or deactivated along with the switch of the receive link mode, thereby solving the latency and overhead problems caused by network-side devices reconfiguring measurement gaps through RRC messages.

[0090] The wireless communication method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0091] Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 210 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0092] As shown in Figure 5, the wireless communication method 210 may include:

[0093] S211, the terminal measures the downlink reference signal based on at least one of the first measurement gap and the terminal's first receive link mode.

[0094] For example, the first measurement gap is an active measurement gap, or the first measurement gap is a measurement gap during which uplink scheduling is not allowed but downlink measurement and downlink data transmission are allowed. For instance, when the first measurement gap is an active measurement gap, the first measurement gap is a measurement gap in the network configuration (e.g., pre-configured or configured via RRC) that is associated with an identifier of a measurement gap activated by the network or an identifier of a measurement gap requested by the terminal, or the first measurement gap is a measurement gap in the network reconfiguration that is associated with an identifier of a measurement gap activated by the network or an identifier of a measurement gap requested by the terminal.

[0095] For example, the first receiving link mode is a shared receiving link mode or a separate receiving link mode.

[0096] In this embodiment, the terminal measures the downlink reference signal based on at least one of the first measurement gap and the first receiving link mode of the terminal, so that the terminal can flexibly select the first measurement gap or the first receiving link mode to measure the downlink reference signal, thereby improving the measurement flexibility of the downlink reference signal and thus improving the measurement effect of the downlink signal.

[0097] In some embodiments, prior to S211, method 210 further includes:

[0098] The terminal determines the first measurement gap.

[0099] For example, the terminal can determine the measurement gap corresponding to the identifier in the network configuration (e.g., pre-configured or configured via RRC) as the first measurement gap based on the identifier of the measurement gap activated by the network or requested by the terminal. In other words, the configuration information of the measurement gap corresponding to the identifier is the configuration information of the first measurement gap.

[0100] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the measurement gap corresponding to the identifier in the network configuration (e.g., pre-configured or configured via RRC) of the measurement gap based on the identifier of the measurement gap activated by the network or requested by the terminal, and then measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap. This can solve the latency and overhead problems caused by reconfiguring the measurement gap through RRC messages.

[0101] In some embodiments, prior to S211, method 210 further includes:

[0102] The terminal receives a first message from a network-side device; wherein the first message includes first configuration information related to the measurement gap, and the first configuration information includes configuration information of the first measurement gap.

[0103] For example, the first configuration information is used to configure one or more measurement gaps for the terminal, and the one or more measurement gaps configured for the terminal by the first configuration information include the first measurement gap. The first configuration information being used to configure one or more measurement gaps for the terminal can be understood as the first configuration information being used to pre-configure one or more measurement gaps for the terminal.

[0104] For example, the first configuration information includes at least one measurement gap configuration information, which is used to configure the measurement gap, and the measurement gap configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0105] Marking of the measurement gap;

[0106] The measurement gap type is at least one of the following: a measurement gap configured for each UE, a measurement gap configured for each frequency range (FR), a measurement gap configured for FR1, a measurement gap configured for FR2, and a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link.

[0107] Measure the length of the gap;

[0108] The period of the measurement gap;

[0109] Measure the offset of the gap;

[0110] Time advance for measurement gaps;

[0111] The configuration time for measuring gaps should be referenced from the cell.

[0112] The indicator measurement gap is an indication information specifically used for sharing the receive link mode;

[0113] The type of indication for the measurement gap is a specific type of indication information;

[0114] Indicative information that allows downlink scheduling but not uplink transmission during the measurement gap period.

[0115] Wherein, the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each UE (per UE), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the UE level; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each FR (per FR), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the FR level; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR1, which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR1; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR2, which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR2; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link (per RX sharing), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the shared receive link level, or it can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for shared receive links (for RX sharing).

[0116] In this embodiment, after receiving the first message, the terminal can obtain the measurement gaps in the network configuration (e.g., pre-configured or configured via RRC). Further, the terminal can determine the measurement gap corresponding to the identifier in the network configuration (e.g., pre-configured or configured via RRC) as the first measurement gap based on the identifier of the measurement gap activated by the network or requested by the terminal. The corresponding configuration information is the first measurement gap configuration information. Then, by measuring the downlink reference signal through the first measurement gap, the latency and overhead issues caused by reconfiguring measurement gaps via RRC messages can be resolved.

[0117] In some embodiments, prior to S211, method 210 further includes:

[0118] The terminal receives a second message from the network-side device; wherein the second message is used to instruct the terminal to switch the terminal's receive link mode.

[0119] For example, the second message may be a switching command for instructing the terminal to switch the receiving link mode of the terminal.

[0120] In this embodiment, after receiving the second message, the terminal switches its receive link mode. Furthermore, the terminal can determine the measurement gap corresponding to the identifier in the network-configured (e.g., pre-configured or RRC-configured) measurement gaps as the first measurement gap based on the identifier of the measurement gap activated by the network or requested by the terminal, and then measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap. This solves the latency and overhead problems caused by reconfiguring measurement gaps via RRC messages.

[0121] In some embodiments, the second message includes at least one of the following:

[0122] The mode type of the receive link mode to which the receiver link mode is to be switched, wherein the mode type is either shared receive link mode or separate receive link mode;

[0123] The identifier of the cell to be switched to shared receive link mode;

[0124] The identifier of the cell to switch to split receive link mode;

[0125] Second configuration information related to the measurement gap, the second configuration information including the configuration information of the first measurement gap;

[0126] Indicator information to activate or deactivate the measurement gap;

[0127] The marking of the first measurement gap;

[0128] The identifier of the measurement gap to be activated, wherein the measurement gap configuration information corresponding to the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated is the configuration information of the first measurement gap;

[0129] The identifier for the measurement gap to be activated.

[0130] For example, the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated may be referred to as or replaced by the number of the measurement gap to be activated or a similar term. The identifier of the measurement gap to be deactivated may be referred to as or replaced by the number of the measurement gap to be deactivated or a similar term.

[0131] For example, the indication information for activating or deactivating the measurement gap can be a Boolean variable, or the indication information can indicate activation of the measurement gap when it takes a first value, and deactivation of the measurement gap when it takes a second value; for example, the first value is 0 and the second value is 1, or the first value is 1 and the second value is 0. Alternatively, the indication information can indicate activation of the measurement gap when it is activated, and deactivation of the measurement gap when it is deactivated. It should be understood that the measurement gap that the terminal needs to activate or deactivate can be determined by the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated or deactivated in the second message.

[0132] For example, the second configuration information is used to reconfigure one or more measurement gaps for the terminal, wherein the one or more measurement gaps reconfigured by the second configuration information include the first measurement gap. For instance, the second configuration information is used to configure one or more measurement gaps to be activated, wherein the one or more measurement gaps to be activated include the first measurement gap.

[0133] For example, the second configuration information includes at least one measurement gap configuration information, which is used to configure the measurement gap, and the measurement gap configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0134] Marking of the measurement gap;

[0135] The measurement gap type is at least one of the following: a measurement gap configured for each UE, a measurement gap configured for each FR, a measurement gap configured for FR1, a measurement gap configured for FR2, and a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link;

[0136] Measure the length of the gap;

[0137] The period of the measurement gap;

[0138] Measure the offset of the gap;

[0139] Time advance for measurement gaps;

[0140] The configuration time for measuring gaps should be referenced from the cell.

[0141] The indicator measurement gap is an indication information specifically used for sharing the receive link mode;

[0142] The type of indication for the measurement gap is a specific type of indication information;

[0143] Indicative information that allows downlink scheduling but not uplink transmission during the measurement gap period.

[0144] Wherein, the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each UE (per UE), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the UE level; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each FR (per FR), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the FR level; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR1, which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR1; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR2, which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR2; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link (per RX sharing), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the shared receive link level, or it can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for shared receive links (for RX sharing).

[0145] In this embodiment, when the second message includes an identifier of the measurement gap to be activated, the terminal can determine the first measurement gap in the network configuration (e.g., pre-configured or configured via RRC) based on the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated, and then measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap. This solves the latency and overhead problems caused by reconfiguring measurement gaps via RRC messages. Furthermore, when the second message includes the second configuration information, the terminal can directly activate the measurement gap configured by the second configuration information, such as the first measurement gap, based on the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated, and then measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap. This also solves the latency and overhead problems caused by reconfiguring measurement gaps via RRC messages.

[0146] In some embodiments, prior to S211, method 210 further includes:

[0147] The terminal sends a third message to the network-side device; wherein the third message is used to request a switch in the terminal's receive link mode.

[0148] For example, the third message may be a switching request message for requesting a switch of the receiving link mode of the terminal.

[0149] In this embodiment, after the terminal sends the third message, it can switch the terminal's receive link mode based on the response of the network-side device. Furthermore, the terminal can determine the measurement gap corresponding to the identifier in the network-configured (e.g., pre-configured or configured via RRC) measurement gaps as the first measurement gap based on the identifier of the measurement gap activated by the network or requested by the terminal. Then, it can measure the downlink reference signal through the first measurement gap, thus solving the latency and overhead problems caused by reconfiguring measurement gaps via RRC messages.

[0150] In some embodiments, the third message includes at least one of the following:

[0151] The mode type of the receiving link mode requested by the terminal, wherein the mode type is either shared receiving link mode or separate receiving link mode.

[0152] The identifier of the cell requesting a switch to shared receive link mode;

[0153] The identifier of the cell requesting a switch to separate receive link mode;

[0154] The requested third configuration information related to the measurement gap, the third configuration information including the configuration information of the first measurement gap;

[0155] Indication message requesting activation or deactivation of the measurement gap;

[0156] The identifier of the measurement gap to be activated, wherein the measurement gap configuration information corresponding to the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated is the configuration information of the first measurement gap;

[0157] The identifier of the measurement gap that is requested to be deactivated.

[0158] For example, the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated can be referred to as or replaced by: the number of the measurement gap to be activated or a similar term. The identifier of the measurement gap to be deactivated can be referred to as or replaced by: the number of the measurement gap to be deactivated or a similar term. Optionally, the term "request activation or deactivation" can be understood as or replaced by: UE prefers to be configured to activate or deactivate, the terminal suggests activation or deactivation, the terminal tends to activate or deactivate, the terminal expects to activate or deactivate, and similar terms, which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0159] For example, the mode type of the receive link mode requested by the terminal can be referred to as or replaced by: the mode type of the receive link mode preferred by the terminal, or the mode type of the receive link mode expected by the terminal. The identifier of the cell requesting to switch to the shared receive link mode can be referred to as or replaced by: the identifier of the cell the terminal prefers to switch to the shared receive link mode, or the identifier of the cell the terminal expects to switch to the shared receive link mode. The identifier of the cell the terminal requests to switch to the separated receive link mode can be referred to as or replaced by: the identifier of the cell the terminal prefers to switch to the separated receive link mode, or the identifier of the cell the terminal expects to switch to the separated receive link mode. The third configuration information related to the measurement gap requested by the terminal can be referred to as or replaced by: the third configuration information related to the measurement gap preferred by the terminal, or the third configuration information related to the measurement gap expected by the terminal. The indication information for the terminal requesting to activate or deactivate the measurement gap can be referred to as or replaced by: the indication information for the terminal preferring to activate or deactivate the measurement gap, or the indication information for the terminal expecting to activate or deactivate the measurement gap. The identifier of the measurement gap that the terminal requests to activate can be referred to as or replaced by: the identifier of the measurement gap that the terminal prefers to activate, or the identifier of the measurement gap that the terminal expects to activate. The identifier of the measurement gap that the terminal requests to deactivate can be referred to as or replaced by: the identifier of the measurement gap that the terminal prefers to deactivate, or the identifier of the measurement gap that the terminal expects to deactivate.

[0160] For example, the third configuration information may be measurement gap configuration information requested by the terminal based on network configuration information, or the third configuration information may be measurement gap configuration information requested by the terminal autonomously.

[0161] For example, the indication information for requesting activation or deactivation of the measurement gap can be a Boolean variable, or the indication information can indicate a request to activate the measurement gap when it takes a first value, and indicate a request to deactivate the measurement gap when it takes a second value; for example, the first value is 0 and the second value is 1, or the first value is 1 and the second value is 0. Alternatively, the indication information can indicate a request to activate the measurement gap when it takes an activated value, and indicate a request to deactivate the measurement gap when it takes a deactivated value. It should be understood that when the network-side device determines the measurement gap that the terminal requests to activate or deactivate, it can do so through the identifier of the measurement gap requested to be activated or deactivated in the third message.

[0162] For example, the third configuration information is configuration information for one or more measurement gaps requested by the terminal. For instance, the third configuration information requested by the terminal includes configuration information for one or more measurement gaps that the terminal requests to activate, and the one or more measurement gaps that the terminal requests to activate include the first measurement gap.

[0163] For example, the third configuration information includes at least one measurement gap configuration information, which is used to configure the measurement gap, and the measurement gap configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0164] Marking of the measurement gap;

[0165] The measurement gap type is at least one of the following: a measurement gap configured for each UE, a measurement gap configured for each FR, a measurement gap configured for FR1, a measurement gap configured for FR2, and a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link;

[0166] Measure the length of the gap;

[0167] The period of the measurement gap;

[0168] Measure the offset of the gap;

[0169] Time advance for measurement gaps;

[0170] The configuration time for measuring gaps should be referenced from the cell.

[0171] The indicator measurement gap is an indication information specifically used for sharing the receive link mode;

[0172] The type of indication for the measurement gap is a specific type of indication information;

[0173] Indicative information that allows downlink scheduling but not uplink transmission during the measurement gap period.

[0174] Wherein, the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each UE (per UE), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the UE level; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each FR (per FR), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the FR level; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR1, which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR1; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR2, which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR2; the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link (per RX sharing), which can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the shared receive link level, or it can be understood as: the type of measurement gap is a measurement gap for shared receive links (for RX sharing).

[0175] In this embodiment, when the third message includes an identifier of a requested activation measurement gap, the terminal can determine the first measurement gap from the network-configured (e.g., pre-configured or RRC-configured) measurement gaps based on the identifier of the requested activation measurement gap, and then measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap. This solves the latency and overhead problems caused by reconfiguring measurement gaps via RRC messages. Furthermore, when the second message includes the third configuration information, the terminal can directly activate the measurement gap configured by the third configuration information, such as the first measurement gap, based on the identifier of the requested activation measurement gap, and then measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap. This also solves the latency and overhead problems caused by reconfiguring measurement gaps via RRC messages.

[0176] In some embodiments, the configuration information of the first measurement gap includes at least one of the following:

[0177] The marking of the first measurement gap;

[0178] The type of the first measurement gap is at least one of the following: a measurement gap configured for each user equipment (UE), a measurement gap configured for each frequency range (FR), a measurement gap configured for FR1, a measurement gap configured for FR2, and a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link.

[0179] The length of the first measuring gap;

[0180] The period of the first measurement gap;

[0181] The offset of the first measuring gap;

[0182] The time advance of the first measurement gap;

[0183] The configuration time of the first measurement gap is referenced to the cell;

[0184] The first indication information is used to indicate that the first measurement gap is a mode dedicated to shared receive link;

[0185] The second indication information is used to indicate that the type of the first measurement gap is a specific type;

[0186] The third indication information is used to indicate that downlink scheduling is allowed and uplink transmission is not allowed during the period of the first measurement gap.

[0187] For example, the identifier of the first measuring gap may be referred to as or replaced by the number of the first measuring gap or similar terminology.

[0188] For example, the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each UE (per UE), which can be understood as: the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the UE level; the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each FR (per FR), which can be understood as: the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the FR level; the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR1, which can be understood as: the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR1; the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for FR2, which can be understood as: the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap for FR2; the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured for each shared receive link (per RX sharing), which can be understood as: the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap configured at the shared receive link level, or it can be understood as: the type of the first measurement gap is a measurement gap for shared receive links (for RX sharing).

[0189] In this embodiment, by enriching the configuration information of the first measurement gap, the network-side device can flexibly configure and improve the first measurement gap. When the type of the first measurement gap is a shared receive link mode measurement gap, or when the configuration information of the first measurement gap includes at least one of the following: the first indication information, the second indication information, and the third indication information, it can assist the terminal in determining to measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the downlink reference signal.

[0190] In some embodiments, the method 210 further includes at least one of the following:

[0191] The terminal switches its receiving link mode;

[0192] The terminal activates or deactivates at least one of the following measurement gaps:

[0193] The measurement gap associated with the identifier of the measurement gap indicated by the second message, the measurement gap associated with the identifier of the measurement gap requested by the third message, the measurement gap negotiated by the terminal and the network-side device, and the measurement gap agreed upon by the protocol;

[0194] The second message is used to instruct the terminal to switch the terminal's receive link mode, and the third message is used to request the switch of the terminal's receive link mode.

[0195] For example, when the terminal switches from shared receive link mode to separate receive link mode, it activates at least one of the following measurement gaps: a measurement gap associated with an identifier of a measurement gap indicated by a second message, a measurement gap associated with an identifier of a measurement gap requested by a third message, a measurement gap negotiated by the terminal and the network-side device, and a measurement gap agreed upon by the protocol.

[0196] For example, when the terminal switches from a separate receive link mode to a shared receive link mode, it deactivates at least one of the following measurement gaps: a measurement gap associated with an identifier of a measurement gap indicated by a second message, a measurement gap associated with an identifier of a measurement gap requested by a third message, a measurement gap negotiated by the terminal and the network-side device, and a measurement gap agreed upon by the protocol.

[0197] It should be noted that: the measurement gap associated with the identifier of the measurement gap indicated by the second message can be understood as the measurement gap associated with or corresponding to the identifier of the measurement gap indicated by the second message. The identifier of the measurement gap indicated by the second message can include at least one of the following: the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated included in the second message, the identifier of the measurement gap to be deactivated included in the second message, the identifier of the first measurement gap included in the second message, or the identifier of the measurement gap indicated in the second configuration information of the second message. The measurement gap associated with the identifier of the measurement gap requested by the third message can be understood as the measurement gap associated with or corresponding to the identifier of the measurement gap included in the third message. The identifier of the measurement gap included in the third message can be: the identifier of the measurement gap to be activated, the identifier of the measurement gap to be deactivated, or the identifier of the measurement gap included in the third configuration information.

[0198] In this embodiment, as the receiving link mode is switched, the terminal directly activates or deactivates the measurement gap, which can solve the latency and overhead problems caused by the network-side device reconfiguring the measurement gap through RRC messages.

[0199] It should be noted that when the terminal switches its receive link mode, the network-side device also needs to switch the terminal's receive link mode. Similarly, when the terminal activates or deactivates a measurement gap, the network-side device also needs to activate or deactivate the same measurement gap.

[0200] In some embodiments, the behavior of the terminal within the first measurement gap includes at least one of the following:

[0201] Continue monitoring the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling on the serving cell;

[0202] Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback, Schedule Request (SR) transmission, and Channel State Information (CSI) transmission are not performed.

[0203] No detection reference signal (SRS) is transmitted;

[0204] The uplink shared channel UL-SCH, except for the payloads of message 3 and message A, is not transmitted.

[0205] Continue receiving the uplink shared channel UL-SCH.

[0206] For example, the network-side device performs at least one of the following during the first measurement gap:

[0207] Continue sending PDCCH schedules on the serving cell;

[0208] HARQ feedback, SR transmission, and CSI are not accepted.

[0209] SRS is not transmitted;

[0210] UL-SCH is not transmitted except for the payloads of message 3 and message A;

[0211] Continue sending UL-SCH.

[0212] In this embodiment, by clearly defining the behavior of the terminal within the first measurement gap, the impact of the first measurement gap on service transmission can be reduced, thereby improving the service transmission performance of the terminal.

[0213] In some embodiments, the method 210 further includes:

[0214] The terminal reports first capability information, which includes at least one of the following:

[0215] Does it support gapless measurement capabilities in shared receive link mode?

[0216] Does it support measurement capabilities based on measurement gaps dedicated to shared receive link mode?

[0217] For example, whether the capability to perform measurement without measurement gaps in a shared receive link mode can include at least one of the following: whether the capability to measure the downlink reference signal based on a carrier unit located in the middle or a specific position among the carrier units associated with the shared receive link mode in the shared receive link mode, and whether the capability to measure the downlink reference signal based on an idle receive link in the shared receive link mode.

[0218] For example, if the terminal supports the ability to perform measurements without measurement gaps in a shared receive link mode, the terminal can measure the downlink reference signal based on the first receive link mode. And / or, if the terminal does not support the ability to perform measurements without measurement gaps in a shared receive link mode, the terminal can measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap.

[0219] For example, if the terminal does not support measurement capabilities based on a measurement gap dedicated to a shared receive link mode, the terminal can measure the downlink reference signal based on the first receive link mode. And / or, if the terminal supports measurement capabilities based on a measurement gap dedicated to a shared receive link mode, the terminal can measure the downlink reference signal based on the first measurement gap.

[0220] In this embodiment, the terminal reporting the first capability information can assist the network-side device in sending downlink reference signals. For example, it can assist the network-side device in determining the transmission resources of the downlink reference signals, thereby reducing the signaling overhead of measuring the downlink reference signals.

[0221] In some embodiments, when the first receiving link mode is a shared receiving link mode, S211 includes:

[0222] The terminal measures the downlink reference signal based on the carrier unit located in the middle position among the carrier units associated with the shared receive link mode.

[0223] In this embodiment, the terminal measures the downlink reference signal based on the carrier unit located in the middle position among the carrier units associated with the shared receive link mode. This can reduce the impact of the measurement gap configuration on service transmission, thereby ensuring service transmission performance based on the measurement of the downlink reference signal.

[0224] In some embodiments, when the first receiving link mode is a shared receiving link mode, S211 includes:

[0225] The terminal measures the downlink reference signal based on the carrier unit associated with an idle receive link.

[0226] In this embodiment, the terminal measures the downlink reference signal based on the carrier unit associated with the idle receiving link, which can reduce the impact of the measurement gap configuration on service transmission, and thus ensure service transmission performance based on the measurement of the downlink reference signal.
