Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a gap processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the gap processing method includes the steps of:

step 200, the terminal receives configuration information of a target gap sent by network side equipment;

in order to solve the problem of task execution in a multi-card scenario, the embodiment of the present application provides a new gap processing method.

First, the terminal receives configuration information of a target gap sent by a network side device. It can be understood that the configuration information of the target gap is related information obtained by the network side device configuring the target gap, for example, a start time point, an end time point and a length of the target gap of the network configuration. The network may be configured with different gap patterns and different attributes.

Step 201, the terminal determines whether to use the target gap;

in the embodiment of the present application, the target gap is optionally used. The use or non-use of the target gap is determined by the terminal.

After receiving the configuration information of the target gap, the terminal may determine whether to use the target gap.

Optionally, the terminal determines whether to use the target gap according to a Multi-SIM (Multi-SIM, MSIM for short) task.

The multi-card tasks include paging, measurement, cell search, and background Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) search.

Wherein, using the target gap means that the terminal leaves the first network and performs the task of the second network during the target gap.

And the terminal returns to the first network after the task of the second network is completed or the target gap is finished or the terminal actively exits the target gap.

Further, the terminal determines whether a target task needs to be executed during the target gap, if necessary, uses the target gap, and if not, does not use the target gap.

Step 202, the terminal executes a first operation; or, the terminal performs the second operation.

Alternatively, the first operation is related to the terminal not using the target gap, and the second operation is related to the terminal using the target gap.

Optionally, in the case that the terminal uses the target gap, performing a first operation; and executing a second operation under the condition that the terminal does not use the target gap.

Not using the target gap may also be understood as ignoring the target gap.

In the embodiment of the application, a new gap mechanism is introduced, the gap is not limited to measurement, the target gap is optional, the terminal can determine whether to use the target gap and execute corresponding operation, the task execution problem of the terminal in a multi-card scene can be solved, and the terminal can execute multi-card tasks more efficiently.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

the terminal determines the effective gap range;

optionally, after receiving the configuration information of the target gap sent by the network side device, the terminal determines whether to use the target gap, and then determines the valid gap range.

Wherein the valid gap range includes at least two of a start time point, a length, and an end time point of the valid gap.

The time point, i.e. the time, can be represented by the system frame number and the timeslot of the reference cell.

Wherein the effective gap is all or part of the target gap to be used or in use by the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, the valid gap is the target gap in effect. It is understood that the length of the effective gap is equal to or less than the length of the target gap.

It should be noted that the terminal processes the valid gap as well as the measured gap.

During a valid gap, the behavior of the terminal is the same as the behavior of the terminal during the measurement of the gap. I.e. during the active gap, the terminal MAC entity performs one or more of the following:

not sending hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ feedback information, scheduling request SR and channel state information CSI;

not transmitting Sounding Reference Signals (SRS);

no data is sent on the UL-SCH except for the payload of the random access message Msg3 or MSGA;

and sending first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating the terminal to ignore or not use or quit the target gap to a network.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal performing the first operation may be understood as the terminal performing the relevant operation of ignoring or not using or exiting the target gap.

The target gap period is a time period from a start time point to an end time point of the target gap. The target gap period may also be understood as a target gap running period, i.e., a target gap running time.

Illustratively, the terminal starts data transceiving at a time point during the target gap, from which the terminal ignores or does not use or quit the target gap.

Optionally, the terminal transmits data through an uplink shared channel UL-SCH from a start time point of the target gap.

Optionally, the terminal sends first indication information to the network side device, where the first indication information is used to indicate to the network that the terminal ignores or does not use or quits the target gap.

Further, the sending the first indication information includes:

transmitting the first indication information to a network before a start time point of the target gap or during the target gap.

The terminal may send the first indication information before the starting time point of the target gap, i.e. the terminal may send the first indication information ignoring or not using the target gap before the target gap starts.

The terminal may also send first indication information to the network during the target gap indicating that the terminal exits the target gap.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can ignore or not use the target gap and can also dynamically quit the target gap, so that the problem of task execution in a multi-card scene is flexibly solved, and the influence of the multi-card task on the data throughput of the terminal is reduced.

The terminal may use all or part of the target gap.

Optionally, the terminal stops data transceiving during all or part of the target gap, indicating that the terminal uses the target gap.

Optionally, the terminal suspends data transceiving from a starting time point of the target gap or a time point during the target gap, indicating that the terminal uses the target gap.

The terminal may also send second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate to the network that the terminal uses the target gap. The second indication information may be an RRC message, a MAC CE (Control Element), or the like.

Further, the second indication information is also used for indicating gap information used by the terminal, wherein,

the gap information used by the terminal comprises at least one of the following:

current gap;

the next gap;

a subsequent plurality of gaps;

a periodic gap;

alternatively, in the case where the gap information used by the terminal is a periodic gap, the terminal uses all or a plurality of the periodic gaps.

On this basis, the sending of the second indication information includes at least one of:

transmitting second indication information at a start time point of the current gap or during the current gap;

sending a second indication before the next gap begins;

second indication information is sent before the first gap of the subsequent plurality of gaps starts, acting on the subsequent plurality of consecutive gaps.

Optionally, the terminal executes the target task using all or part of the target gap.

It will be appreciated that the terminal leaves the first network during the validation of said target gap, performing the target task of the second network. Here, the valid gap period is the total time of the target gap when the length of the valid gap is equal to the length of the target gap, and the partial time of the target gap when the length of the valid gap is the partial length of the target gap.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can flexibly start the target gap, and all or part of the target gap is used for executing the target task, so that the problem of task execution in a multi-card scene is flexibly solved, and the influence of the multi-card task on the data throughput of the terminal is reduced.

receiving data on the DL-SCH;

and monitoring the PDCCH.

if the terminal returns network failure, initiating a reconstruction process;

wherein the return network failure comprises at least one of:

the serving cell cannot be camped or synchronized;

the radio link fails.

It can be understood that the terminal returns to the network after finishing the use of the target gap, and initiates the reestablishing process if the terminal fails to return to the network.

According to the gap processing method provided by the embodiment of the application, the terminal can automatically finish the use of the target gap, and the processing of terminal connection after the target gap is finished is provided, so that the problem of task execution in a multi-card scene can be efficiently solved, the UE and the network state are synchronized, and the influence of multi-card tasks on the data throughput of the terminal is reduced.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating that the DRX active time target gap is valid according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, in the case that there is a coincidence between the operating time or effective time of the target gap and the DRX active time, the terminal may send the first indication information or the second indication information without turning on the DRX duration timer DRX-onDurationTimer at the DRX active time during the target gap (i.e., the intersection between the effective time and DRX active time of the target gap).

It should be noted that the running time of the target gap refers to the time from the starting time point of the target gap to the ending time point of the target gap. The effective time of the target gap refers to a time from a start time point of the effective gap to an end time point of the effective gap.

I.e. the terminal may start the target timer at the beginning of the target gap or after it has taken effect. The target timer is started at the beginning of the target gap, and then the length of the target timer is equal to the length of the target gap. Further, the length of the target timer may be added with the first preset time length T _ delta based on the length of the target gap.
