Description

Configuration method for measuring Gap

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of mobile communication, and particularly relates to a configuration method for measuring Gap (Gap).

Background

Currently, in an NR (New Radio, New air interface) system, a User Equipment (UE) needs to measure a neighboring cell so as to facilitate switching or redirection of the UE, the Measurement includes inter-frequency Measurement and inter-system Measurement in the NR system, when the UE performs the Measurement, a special Measurement Gap (Measurement Gap) is needed, and in the Measurement Gap, the UE specially measures the neighboring cell without transmitting other data information. When the resources (sr resource, csi-rs resource, srs resource) configured to the UE are located in the measurement time window of Gap in the time domain, when the UE performs inter-frequency/inter-system measurement, it will be impossible to transmit corresponding information on these resources, thereby affecting the user experience. The NR protocol introduces an RRM measurement time configuration window based on SSBs (SS/PBCH block composed of synchronization signal SS and physical broadcast channel PBCH), called Smtc window, through which the UE obtains the measurement period and time of all SSBs, and in order to be able to measure the SSBs of the inter-frequency cell, it is necessary to ensure that the Smtc window is included in the Gap window.

In the prior art, a prior art solution provided in patent application with patent publication No. CN106332118 is: when the UE determines that a resource conflict exists between a scheduling request sr sending resource position of a current cell and a measured Gap resource position, marking the current cell, and performing Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconstruction according to a preset reconstruction rule; the mark represents that the current cell is forbidden in a certain time, and the UE does not select the current cell when performing cell selection in the certain time; the method only provides a solution for the conflict between sr resources and Gap resources, and is limited to an LTE system; in addition, the scheme of the patent application solves the resource conflict in an RRC reestablishment mode, and the reestablishment process can cause UE service interruption.
