In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific examples. The following related technologies may be optionally combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiment of the present application includes at least part of the following content.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following describes a multi-SIM (Multi-SIM, MUSIM) scenario related to the present application.

The Multi-SIM scenario means that the same terminal equipment is equipped with multiple SIM cards, such as SIM-A and SIM-B, and the two SIM cards share the hardware components of the terminal equipment.

For example, the hardware configuration/capability of the terminal device may include the following conditions:

1 Tx+1 Rx, the receiving and sending of the two SIM cards use the same set of transceiver devices;

1 Tx+2 Rx, dual reception is mainly for paging purposes, for other channels (such as physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) reception, need to feedback hybrid automatic retransmission request through uplink (Uplink, UL) (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest, HARQ), generally not within the scope of dual reception consideration).

When one of the SIM cards of the terminal device is in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected (RRC-connected) state (subsequently called sim-A, and its corresponding network is called NW-A), the other When the SIM is in RRC-IDLE state or RRC-inactive state (subsequently called sim-B, and its corresponding network is called NW-B), the receiver of the terminal device sometimes needs Transfer from sim-A to sim-B to perform paging (paging) reception, neighbor cell measurement, system information (System Information, SI) reception or on-demand (on-demand) SI reception, etc., then the sim- A causes a certain interruption. In this case, the terminal device requests to leave the RRC-connected state at NW-A, and then turns to NW-B to receive/send information, or, the terminal device requests a measurement gap (Measurement Gap, MG) at NW-A, within MG Turn onto NW-B.

In some embodiments, NW-A is an NR network, and NW-B is an NR network or an LTE network; or, NW-A is an NR network or an LTE network, and NW-B is an NR network.

In some embodiments, more powerful terminals are introduced, such as 2Tx+2Rx capability/hardware architecture. At this time, the terminal device can allocate two sets of Tx+Rx hardware resources to the two SIM cards for simultaneous use, so as to achieve the effect that the terminal device is in the RRC-connected state in the two networks at the same time.

In some embodiments, when both SIM cards of the terminal device are in the RRC connection state, both networks may configure measurement frequency points, and a new mechanism needs to be discussed to determine the measurement process of the terminal device on the two networks, for example, The goals of R18 for the MUSIM subject are as follows:

objective

Enhancements for MUSIM procedures to operate in RRC_CONNECTED state simultaneously in NW A and NW B.[RAN2,RAN3,RAN4]

●Specify mechanism to indicate preference on temporary UE capability restriction(e.g.capability update,release of cells,(de)activation of configured resources)with NW A when UE prefers to start/stop connecting to NW B for MUSIM purpose.

●RAT Concurrency:Network A is NR SA (with CA)or NR DC.Network B can either be LTE or NR.

●Applicable UE architecture:Dual-RX/Dual-TX UE

●The work item shall identify whether the WI will have RAN3 or RAN4 impacts by RAN#99[RAN2].

●RAN2 is the leader group and no RAN1 and SA impact is desired.

In the above solution, capability negotiation: for example, the original dual transmission and double reception capabilities are used for base station communication of NW-A, and in this embodiment, a part of the capability will be taken out for NW-B; for example, in one embodiment, the terminal equipment The dual transmission and dual reception capabilities were originally used for carrier aggregation or dual connectivity (CA/DC) of NW-A. When NW-B needs it, it can release some cells of NW-A and use the released capabilities to on NW-B. In addition, this embodiment introduces a mechanism to indicate that the communication capability of the terminal device in NW-A is temporarily limited.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following describes the measurement configuration and MG configuration related to the present application.

User mobility measurement is divided into three types: RRC idle state, RRC deactivation (RRC idle/inactive) state and RRC-connected state. The measurement configuration in the RRC idle/inactive state is broadcast by the network through the System Information Block (SIB) (such as SIB3 broadcasting same-frequency cell reselection information, SIB4 broadcasting inter-frequency cell information, etc.) messages; RRC-connected state measurement The configuration is sent by the network to the terminal device through RRC signaling, including information such as measurement objects, reported configuration information, and measurement interval (MG). The network will separately configure the measurement object (measObject, MO) list and the report configuration (reportConfig, RC) list, and then associate the measurement objects through the measurement identification (Identity, ID), as shown in Figure 2.

In some embodiments, the measurement configuration information element (MeasConfig information element) may be as follows.

It should be noted that in the above-mentioned measurement configuration information element (MeasConfig information element), the "measObjectToRemoveList" field can delete MO; the "measObjectToAddModList" field can add or modify MO, and the specific configuration refers to signaling; the "reportConfigToRemoveList" field can report the configuration list The "reportConfigToAddModList" field can report the addition and modification of the configuration list; each measurement ID will correspond to a MeasObjectId and a ReportConfigId; the "measGapConfig" field is used for measurement interval configuration, which can be configured for each UE (per-UE) or FR1 or FR2. The measurement interval configuration information includes a time domain offset (gapoffset), a measurement interval length (mgl), a period (mgrp), and a measurement interval timing advance (mgta). The "measGapSharingConfig" field is used to indicate the measurement gap sharing ratio, which can also be configured according to per-UE or FR1 or FR2gap, and is used to determine the ratio factor of the same-frequency and inter-frequency measurement sharing MG within the corresponding UE or frequency range.

In some embodiments, the measurement object mode list information element (MeasObjectToAddModList information element) can be added as follows, and the measurement object can be NR (same frequency/different frequency) frequency point, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access) , E-UTRAN) frequency points, UTRA-FDD frequency points, etc. Taking the NR frequency point as an example, it will include configuration information of reference signals, synchronization signal measurement timing configuration (SSB measurement timing configuration, SMTC), measurement threshold, black and white cell list, etc.

For example, the NR measurement object will contain the following information:

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following describes the problems solved by the present application.

In the multi-card scenario, no direct negotiation process between corresponding base stations is introduced, that is, the networks corresponding to multiple SIM cards of the same terminal are relatively independent, and the measurement tasks configured by them may partially overlap (especially when the SIM card Belonging to the same operator, it is likely to be connected to the same base station. After each SIM enters the connected state, the network side will generate a terminal context, even if multiple SIM cards of a UE enter the connected state through the same network device, The network device also generates an independent terminal context for each SIM card). At this time, if the UE is required to measure the same frequency according to the configurations of the two SIM cards, the UE measurement complexity and delay will be increased.

Based on the above technical problems, this application proposes a measurement scheme, which can avoid repeated measurement of the same measurement frequency point configured by multiple networks by multi-card terminals, and reduce the measurement complexity and measurement delay of multi-card users.

The technical scheme of the present application is described in detail below through specific examples.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3 , the wireless communication method 200 may include at least part of the following content:

S210, the terminal device receives first information sent by the network device; and/or, the terminal device sends second information to the network device; wherein, the first information is used to indicate configuration information that allows the terminal device to perform measurement-free; the The second information includes frequency point information of N frequency points, and the second information is used to request to avoid measurement on the N frequency points, or the second information is used to indicate a network device different from the network device receiving the second information The measurement configuration information of N frequency points configured by the network device, where N is a positive integer.

Correspondingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends the first information to the terminal device; and/or, the network device receives the second information sent by the terminal device.

In some embodiments, the first information may be carried by one of the following: RRC signaling, media access control layer control element (Media Access Control Control Element, MAC CE), DCI.

In some embodiments, the second information may be carried by one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE, and uplink control information (Uplink Control Information, UCI).

In some embodiments, the terminal device may have multiple SIM card capabilities, and the networks corresponding to the multiple SIM cards are relatively independent, and the measurement tasks of the network configurations corresponding to the multiple SIM cards may partially overlap, especially When the SIM card belongs to the same operator, it is likely to be connected to the same base station. Each SIM card of the terminal device may be in the RRC connected state, or the RRC idle state, or the RRC deactivated state in the corresponding network. After each SIM card enters the RRC connection state, the network side will generate a terminal context. Even if multiple SIM cards of the terminal device enter the connection state through the same network device, the network device will generate an independent terminal context for each SIM card. Therefore, in this application, network devices corresponding to different SIMs are regarded as different network devices, no matter whether they are the same base station or not.

In some embodiments, the terminal device is in an RRC connection state in the network that sends the first information. For example, the terminal device receives the first information on sim-A, that is, sim-A is in the RRC connection state in the corresponding network.

In some embodiments, the terminal device is in an RRC connected state in the network receiving the second information. For example, the terminal device sends the second information on sim-A, that is, sim-A is in the RRC connection state in the corresponding network.

Specifically, for example, the terminal device receives the first information sent by the network device on sim-A, and/or, the terminal device sends the second information to the network device on sim-A. The network device different from the network device receiving the second information may be the network device corresponding to sim-B (even if the base station connected to sim-A and the base station connected to sim-B are the same base station), that is, the second information It can be used to indicate the measurement configuration information of the N frequency points configured by the network device corresponding to the sim-B.

In some embodiments, when the terminal device receives at least the first information, the terminal device may perform the measurement-free operation according to the measurement-free configuration information indicated by the first information.

In some embodiments, when the terminal device receives at least the first information, the terminal device may determine whether to perform the measurement-free operation according to the measurement-free configuration information indicated by the first information.

In some embodiments, when the terminal device at least receives the first information, the terminal device determines whether to use the frequency point corresponding to the measurement-free configuration information indicated by the first information according to the measurement configuration information and its own implementation. Execute measurement-free on

In some embodiments, when the terminal device sends at least the second information, the network device may determine according to the second information that the terminal device performs measurement-free configuration, or the network device may determine according to the second information Whether the terminal device activates the measurement-free function for the associated frequency point.

In some embodiments, the N frequency points may be determined based on the measurement-free configuration information indicated by the first information. That is, the terminal device may first receive the first information, and then send the second information.

In some embodiments, the measurement-free configuration information indicated by the first information may be determined based on the second information. That is, the terminal device may first send the second information, and then receive the first information.

In some embodiments, when the terminal device at least receives the first information, or when the network device at least sends the first information, the measurement-free configuration information includes at least M frequency point information , M is a positive integer. That is, the first information is used to indicate that the terminal device is allowed to avoid measurement on the M frequency points.

For example, the measurement-free configuration information can follow the existing measurement configuration (such as measConfig or MeasObjectToAddModList, or other parameters for configuring measurement objects); or, the measurement-free configuration information is a new measurement configuration, such as measConfigAllowMeasFree or MeasObjectToAddModListMeasFree , the frequency points contained in this new information element (Information element, IE) are exempt from measurement, and the frequency points contained in the original measurement configuration (measConfig or MeasObjectToAddModList) are normally measured.

Specifically, the M frequency points are measured based on the implementation of the terminal device, and the measurement of the M frequency points does not occupy the measurement resources of the network corresponding to the first information, such as the measurement interval of the corresponding network.

Specifically, for example, the terminal device has multiple SIM card capabilities, and the first information is configured through the network to which the first SIM card in the terminal device belongs, that is, the first SIM card is exempt from measurement on the M frequency points, For example, the measurements on the M frequency points are performed by the second SIM card among the multiple SIM cards. Specifically, when the second SIM card is in the RRC idle state or the RRC deactivated state, the M frequency points can be measured on the MUSIM interval for the second SIM card, wherein the MUSIM interval for the second SIM card is determined by The terminal device requests and negotiates with the network corresponding to the first SIM card to obtain the configuration. When the second SIM card is in the RRC connection state, the M frequency points may be measured by the MG in the connection state configured in the network corresponding to the second SIM card. When the terminal device obtains the measurement result of the above measurement-free frequency point through the measurement of the second SIM card, it can choose to report to the network of the first SIM card immediately/as soon as possible after obtaining the measurement result, or according to the network corresponding to the second SIM card The configured measurement report condition associated with the frequency point determines whether to report to the network of the first SIM card, or judges whether to report to the network of the first SIM card according to the measurement report condition associated with the frequency point configured by the network corresponding to the first SIM card Online reporting.

In some embodiments, each of the M frequency points is associated with at least one piece of first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether to perform measurement-free on the associated frequency point. For example, the first indication information is an allow measurement free (allowMeasFree) field.

In some embodiments, the first indication information is associated with a measurement object configuration, or the first indication information is associated with a measurement reporting configuration, or the first indication information is associated with a measurement identifier. Optionally, the first information may be carried in signaling used to configure or reconfigure the measurement configuration.

For example, if it is associated with a measurement identifier, it means to determine whether the measurement object/frequency point corresponding to the measurement identifier is free of measurement according to the first indication information; if it is associated with the measurement reporting configuration, it means to determine the Whether all measurement objects/frequency points corresponding to the reporting configuration are exempt from measurement.

Specifically, for example, the first indication information is associated with the measurement object configuration, for example, each measurement object configuration may include an allowMeasFree field, and the allowMeasFree field is used to indicate whether to perform measurement-free for the frequency point associated with the measurement object configuration.

Specifically, for example, the first indication information is associated with the measurement reporting configuration, for example, each measurement reporting configuration may include an allowMeasFree field, and the allowMeasFree field is used to indicate whether to perform measurement-free for all frequency points associated with the measurement reporting configuration.
