Description

Method and device for determining UE (user equipment) behavior and UE

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a method and a device for determining UE (user equipment) behaviors and UE.

Background

Reduced Capacity UE (reccap UE) generally has a smaller number of antennas and a smaller operating bandwidth than a general terminal device. Also, because of the limited bandwidth of the redmap UE transmission, the reception capability of the redmap UE is typically low.

Currently, techniques such as frequency Hopping, Bandwidth Part (BWP) Hopping (Hopping), Bandwidth Part Switching (BWP Switching) and the like may be used, so that the resume UE may receive downlink transmission or send uplink transmission on different timeslots, time periods or different frequencies in the system Bandwidth during transmission, thereby improving the transmission performance of the resume UE.

However, since the red map UE can only transmit or receive in one frequency band at the same time, after the transmission frequency band is changed by using the above-mentioned technique, the transmission and/or reception behaviors of the red map UE may be in different frequency bands, so that the transceiving behaviors of the red map UE may collide in the time domain, and therefore a solution for solving the above-mentioned collision is needed.

The method for determining the UE behavior provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

Fig. 2a is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining UE behavior according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2a, the method comprises the following steps 101:

step 101, if a first behavior of a UE and a second behavior of the UE are on the same or overlapping time domain resources, the UE performs at least one of the first behavior and the second behavior, the first behavior is a behavior on a first frequency band, and the second behavior is a behavior on a second frequency band.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 2b, before step 101, the method for determining the UE behavior according to the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 100:

step 100, the UE determines whether the first behavior of the UE and the second behavior of the UE are on the same or overlapping time domain resources.

It can be appreciated that if the first behavior of the UE and the second behavior of the UE are on the same or overlapping time domain resources, there is a time domain conflict between the first behavior and the second behavior.

The first frequency band and the second frequency band are different frequency bands.

In this embodiment, the first behavior may be a behavior of receiving a downlink signal or channel by the UE, and the second behavior may be a behavior of sending an uplink signal or channel and receiving a downlink signal or channel by the UE.

Wherein the UE performs at least one of the first action and the second action, including any of:

step 1: the UE performs a first action on the first frequency band and does not perform a second action.

Step 2: the UE performs the second action on the second frequency band and does not perform the first action.

And step 3: the UE performs a first action on a first frequency band and defers performing a second action on a second frequency band.

And 4, step 4: the UE performs the first and second actions on the second frequency band.

In the method for determining UE behavior provided in the embodiment of the present application, if a first behavior of a UE and a second behavior of the UE are on the same or overlapping time domain resources, the UE may execute at least one of the first behavior and the second behavior, where the first behavior is a behavior on a first frequency band, and the second behavior is a behavior on a second frequency band. At least one of the first action and the second action may be performed by the UE may be any of: the UE performs a first action on the first frequency band and does not perform a second action; the UE performing the second action on the second frequency band and not performing the first action; the UE performing a first action on a first frequency band and deferring performing a second action on a second frequency band; the UE performs the first action and the second action on the second frequency band. Therefore, under the condition that the transmission bandwidth is limited and time domain conflicts exist among the UE behaviors of different frequency bands, the UE can determine the behavior of the UE according to the four ways, and at the same time, the UE can select to execute one of the UE behaviors and not execute or postpone the execution of the other UE behavior, or the UE selects to execute the two UE behaviors in the frequency band of one of the UE behaviors at the same time, so that the behavior of the UE at the same time can be executed in the same frequency band, and the conflict caused by the transmission of the UE behaviors in different frequency bands is avoided.

Optionally, in the method for determining the UE behavior provided in the embodiment of the present application, the step 101 may be performed by the following step 101 a:

step 101a, if the first behavior of the UE and the second behavior of the UE are on the same or overlapping time domain resources, the UE performs at least one of the first behavior and the second behavior according to the target information.

Wherein the target information may include at least one of the first information and the second information. The first information includes at least one of behavior type information and channel-related information corresponding to the first behavior. The second information is channel related information or reference signal information corresponding to the second behavior.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first behavior may be: monitoring or presetting measurement of a downlink control channel.

Illustratively, the downlink control channel may be a PDCCH. The monitoring of the downlink control channel may be monitoring of a PDCCH.

Wherein the preset measurement may be any one of: RRM measurement, RLM measurement, BFD measurement, L1-RSRP measurement.

Exemplarily, the reference signal for the pre-set measurement may be an SSB, a CSI-RS, or the like.

In an embodiment of the present application, the second behavior may be any one of: the method includes the steps of receiving a downlink shared Channel, transmitting an uplink control Channel, receiving a downlink control Channel of a non-preset search space type, receiving a downlink control Channel of a non-preset Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI), receiving a CSI Reference Signal (CSI-RS), transmitting a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), and transmitting a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

For example, the Downlink Shared Channel may be a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH); the Uplink Shared Channel may be a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); the Uplink Control Channel may be a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH); the downlink control channel of the non-preset search space type can be a PDCCH of the non-preset search space type; the downlink control channel of the non-preset RNTI may be a PDCCH of the non-preset RNTI.

In this embodiment of the present application, the presetting of the search space type may include: type0 Search Space, Type 0A Search Space, Type 1 Search Space, Type 2 Search Space, Type 3 Search Space, Common Search Space (CSS), UE Specific Search Space (USS).

It is to be understood that the non-preset search space type described above may be other types than the search space described above.

Illustratively, the preset RNTI may include: system Information RNTI (System Information RNTI, SI-RNTI), Paging RNTI (Paging RNTI, P-RNTI), Random Access RNTI (RA-Access RNTI, RA-RNTI), temporary Cell RNTI (Temporal C-RNTI, TC-RNTI), Message B RNTI (Message B-RNTI, MSGB-RNTI), Cell radio network temporary identifier (Cell RNTI, C-RNTI), Modulation And Coding Scheme-Cell RNTI (Modulation And Coding Scheme C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI), Power Saving RNTI (Power Saving, PS-RNTI), Slot Format Indication RNTI (Slot Format Indication RNTI, SFI-RNTI), interrupt RNTI (INT-RNTI), Cancellation Indication RNTI (Cancellation Indication, CI-RNTI), And the like.

It is to be understood that the non-preset RNTI may be an RNTI other than the preset RNTI.

The following specifically describes the UE performing the

above steps

1, 2, 3 and 4.

Optionally, when the first behavior of the UE and the second behavior of the UE are on the same or overlapping time domain resources, the UE may perform the above-mentioned "step 1" in the following scenario: the UE performs the first action on the first frequency band and does not perform the second action.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first behavior is: monitoring or presetting measurement of a downlink control channel.

Illustratively, the first information includes behavior type information corresponding to the first behavior. The behavior type information may indicate that the first behavior is listening or a preset measurement of a downlink control channel.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the downlink control channel satisfies at least one of the following: the search space type of the downlink control channel is a preset search space type; the RNTI of the downlink control channel is a preset RNTI.

Illustratively, the first information further includes channel related information corresponding to the first behavior. The channel related information may indicate that the search space type of the channel corresponding to the first behavior is a preset search space type, or indicate that the RNTI of the channel corresponding to the first behavior is a preset RNTI.

For example, if the downlink control channel may be a PDCCH, the preset search space type of the PDCCH may be any one of the following: type0, Type 0A, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, CSS, USS; the RNTI of the PDCCH may be any one of the preset RNTIs described above.

That is, in the listening situation of the downlink control channel that satisfies the above situation, the UE may perform the first action on the first frequency band without performing the second action.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the second behavior is any one of: receiving a downlink shared channel, transmitting an uplink control channel, receiving a downlink control channel, and receiving a CSI-RS.

It should be noted that the second information may be channel related information or reference signal information corresponding to the second behavior; the channel related information may be a type of channel, and the reference signal information indicates a transmitted signal.

That is, in the case where the first behavior is a downlink control channel or a preset measurement and the second behavior is the above behavior, the UE may perform the first behavior on the first frequency band without performing the second behavior.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, a channel corresponding to the second action satisfies at least one of the following conditions: the priority of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook corresponding to a downlink shared channel is a low priority; the priority of the uplink shared channel is low priority; the uplink shared channel is an uplink shared channel for carrying Configuration Grant (CG); the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the uplink control channel is low, and the search space type of the downlink control channel is a non-preset search space type; the RNTI of the downlink control channel is a non-preset RNTI.

It should be noted that the second information is channel related information corresponding to the second behavior, and the channel related information may indicate a priority of a channel, bearer content, a priority of the bearer content, a search space type of a downlink control channel, an RNTI of the downlink control channel, and the like.

That is, when the first behavior is a downlink control channel or a preset measurement, and the channel corresponding to the second behavior satisfies the above condition, the UE may perform the first behavior on the first frequency band and not perform the second behavior.

Based on the above scenario, if the first behavior of the UE and the second behavior of the UE conflict in the time domain, the UE may perform the first behavior on the first frequency band, and not perform the second behavior on the second frequency band.

Optionally, in a case that the first behavior is a preset measurement, in the method for determining a UE behavior provided in this embodiment of the present application, step 1 described above may also be performed by step 1a as follows:

step 1a, in a first time, a first action is performed on a first frequency band and a second action is not performed.

Wherein the first time is any one of: presetting the measurement time of measurement, the measurement time and the first N symbols of the measurement time, the measurement time and the last N symbols of the measurement time, wherein N is a positive integer.

It should be noted that the measurement time may be a measurement time and a measurement time window. The measurement time may be a time resource of measurement resource transmission; the measurement time window may be a time window in which the measurement resource is located.

That is, in the case where the first behavior of the UE is the preset measurement, the UE preferentially performs the preset measurement. The UE can measure at the preset measuring time without carrying out UE behaviors on other frequency bands; or performing preset measurement on the preset measurement time and the first N symbols of the preset measurement time, and not performing UE behaviors on other frequency bands; or performing preset measurement on the preset measurement time and the last N symbols of the preset measurement time, and not performing UE behaviors on other frequency bands.

That is, in the case that the first information includes behavior type information corresponding to the first behavior, if the first behavior is a preset measurement, the UE may determine that the UE performs step 1a described above according to the first information.

Optionally, when the first behavior of the UE and the second behavior of the UE are on the same or overlapping time domain resources, the UE may perform the above-mentioned "step 2" in the following scenario: the UE performs the second action on the second frequency band and does not perform the first action.

Optionally, the first behavior is a preset measurement; the second behavior is any one of: receiving a downlink shared channel, transmitting an uplink control channel, transmitting a PRACH, and transmitting an SRS.

That is, the first information includes behavior type information corresponding to the first behavior, and the first behavior information indicates that the first behavior is a preset measurement; the second information is channel related information or reference signal information corresponding to the second behavior, and the second information indicates that the second behavior is the behavior mentioned above.

That is, in the case where the first behavior is a preset measurement, and the second behavior satisfies the above-described case, the UE may perform the second behavior on the second frequency band without performing the first behavior.

That is, the UE may determine that the UE performs step 2 described above according to the first information and the second information.

Optionally, the first behavior is a preset measurement; the first behavior satisfies at least one of the following conditions: presetting an overlapping portion of the measured measurement time and the time for performing the second action to be less than a first threshold; presetting that the time interval between the measured measurement time and the time for executing the second action is smaller than a second threshold value; the first frequency band is a frequency band of a plurality of frequency bands configured for the network device to perform preset measurements.

The first threshold and the second threshold may be preset.

It should be noted that the first threshold indicates that the overlapping portion of the execution times of the first behavior and the second behavior is relatively small, and the second threshold indicates that the interval of the execution times of the first behavior and the second behavior is relatively small.

It should be noted that the network device may configure the UE to perform the preset measurement in multiple frequency bands, and the measurement value of each frequency band may indicate the measurement quality of the preset measurement.

That is, the first information includes behavior type information corresponding to the first behavior; the first action is a preset measurement, and the action time overlapping part of the first action and the second action is small, or the action time interval is small, or the frequency band of the first action is one of a plurality of frequency bands configured by the network to perform the preset measurement, the UE may not perform the first action on the first frequency band and perform the second action on the second frequency band.

Optionally, the second information is channel related information corresponding to the second behavior, and a channel corresponding to the second behavior meets any one of the following conditions: the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the downlink shared channel is high priority; the downlink shared channel is a downlink shared channel scheduled by a broadcast downlink control channel; the downlink shared channel is a Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) downlink shared channel; the priority of the uplink shared channel is high priority; the uplink shared channel is an uplink shared channel for carrying a dynamically Scheduled PUSCH (PUSCH Scheduled By Dynamic Grant, DG PUSCH); the uplink shared channel is an uplink shared channel carrying the message 3(MSG 3); the uplink shared channel is an uplink shared channel for bearing a message A (MSG-A); the uplink control channel is an uplink control channel which bears HARQ-ACK and the priority of the HARQ-ACK is high priority; the uplink control channel is used for carrying HARQ-ACK corresponding to the message 4(MSG 4); the uplink control channel is used for bearing HARQ-ACK corresponding to the message B (MSG-B); the PRACH is triggered by a cell switching command; the PRACH is triggered by the failure of a wireless link; the PRACH is a beam failure triggered PRACH.

That is, if the channel corresponding to the second behavior satisfies any of the above conditions, the UE may not perform the first behavior on the first frequency band and perform the second behavior on the second frequency band when the first behavior is the predetermined measurement.

Based on the above scenario, if the first behavior of the UE and the second behavior of the UE conflict in the time domain, the UE performs the second behavior on the second frequency band without performing the first behavior.

Optionally, in the method for determining a UE behavior provided in this embodiment of the present application, step 3 above may be specifically executed by step 3 a:

and 3a, if the time domain resource corresponding to the first action has scheduling limitation, the UE executes the first action on the first frequency band and postpones executing the second action on the second frequency band.

It is to be appreciated that the first behavior information can indicate whether a scheduling restriction exists for a time domain resource corresponding to the first behavior.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the scheduling restriction is: the UE performs the first action within the action execution time of the first action, and does not perform other actions on other frequency bands except the first frequency band.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if the first behavior is a preset measurement, the behavior execution time is a measurement time of the preset measurement; or, if the first behavior is monitoring of the downlink control channel, the behavior execution time is the monitoring time of the downlink control channel.

For example, if the first behavior is a measurement behavior, the behavior execution time may be a time instant or a time window in which the resource is measured. Such as SMTC, CMTC. For example, if the first behavior is PDCCH Monitoring, the behavior execution time may be a time of a Monitoring Occasion (Monitoring occupancy) of PDCCH Monitoring, and the first frequency domain position is a frequency position of the Monitoring Occasion of PDCCH Monitoring.

Scheduling restrictions may be defined for time domain resources corresponding to the first behavior of the UE, so that the UE does not perform frequency hopping on the first behavior when frequency hopping is required.

Based on the scheme, if the UE determines that the behavior execution time of the first behavior has the scheduling limitation, the UE executes the first behavior on the first frequency band within the behavior execution time of the first behavior, and does not execute other behaviors on frequency bands other than the first frequency band.

Optionally, in the method for determining a UE behavior provided in this embodiment of the present application, step 4 may be performed by the following step 4 a:

and 4a, if the second frequency band comprises the first resource, the UE executes the first action and the second action on the second frequency band.

Wherein the first resource is any one of: a resource satisfying a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) relationship with a second resource, the second resource being a resource for measurement in a first frequency band configured by the network device; the same resource as the second resource; a resource whose Power Offset (Power Offset) from the second resource is known; a resource in which the measurement result indicated by the network device is equivalent to the measurement result of the second resource; and the network equipment indicates the resources actually measured by the UE when the UE measures any resources.

Illustratively, the power offset value may be network configured or preset.

It should be noted that, in the case that the network device indicates that the UE can measure on any resource, the UE may select a resource on the second frequency band of the second behavior for measurement.

It should be noted that, when the first resource is the same resource as the second resource, the first resource and the second resource are resources using the same sounding reference signal, for example, the reference signals are both CSI-RSs. For example, the network device may configure the CSI-RS to transmit over a wider bandwidth, and the UE may receive the CSI-RS in two different frequency bands, and then the UE may perform measurement of the CSI-RS in any resource.

That is, in the case of the first behavior and measurement, if there is a measurement resource (i.e., the first resource) satisfying the condition in the reception period of the other downlink signal or channel and in the received second frequency band, the UE receives the other downlink signal/channel and completes the measurement in the second frequency band.

Based on the scheme, if the UE determines that the second frequency band of the second behavior includes the first resource, the UE may perform the first behavior and the second behavior on the second frequency band, for example, when the first behavior is a preset measurement, the UE may transmit a second measurement on the second frequency band of the second behavior and perform the measurement, so that both behaviors may be performed.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first information includes behavior type information corresponding to a first behavior, where the first behavior is a preset measurement; in the method for determining a UE behavior provided in the embodiment of the present application, after step 2, the following step 102 may be further included:

step 102, the UE determines whether to indicate the first information to the higher layer according to the resource of the reference signal received in the measurement period of the preset measurement.

Wherein the first information is at least one of: in Synchronization (IS), Out Of Synchronization (OoS), beam failure event.

Based on the scheme, after the UE does not perform the preset measurement on the second frequency band, in the absence of a partial measurement result, the UE may determine whether to indicate the first information to the higher layer according to resources of the reference signal received in the measurement period.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the step 102 may be specifically executed by the following step 102 a:

step 102a, the UE determines whether to indicate the first information to a higher layer according to the number of resources of the reference signal received in the measurement period.

For example, if the number of actually received RS resources (i.e., for RLM or BFD evaluation) IS less than the preset number during the measurement period, the UE does not indicate IS, OOS, and beam failure event to the higher layer during the measurement period.

Based on the scheme, after the UE does not perform the preset measurement on the second frequency band, in the absence of the partial measurement result, the UE may determine whether to indicate the first information to a higher layer according to the number of resources of the reference signal received in the measurement period.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for determining a UE behavior may be applied to a scenario in which a time domain collision occurs after the UE performs frequency hopping, and may also be applied to a scenario in which the UE performs frequency hopping to select a frequency domain position.

It should be noted that, during transmission, the UE may hop in multiple frequency bands based on the hopping parameter; the frequency hopping parameters may be configured for the network device.

Wherein, the frequency hopping parameter may include: frequency granularity of frequency hopping, Resource Block (RB) number, bandwidth, frequency domain position; time granularity of frequency hopping; time granularity indication of frequency hopping: the duration of transmission and reception in one frequency band. A resource that performs frequency hopping (time resource and frequency resource) or a resource that does not perform frequency hopping (time resource or frequency resource).

Alternatively, the location of the frequency hopping may be determined according to time. For example, the position of the hopping is determined according to the number of the Slot (Slot), the Frame (Frame), and the Symbol (Symbol).

The Slot may correspond to a Slot number in a radio frame, or may correspond to a renumbered Slot of a partial time domain resource (Slot).

It is assumed that the frequency domain position can be determined from f (idx) ═ Mod (N _ Slot/2, 4). In this manner, the UE may transmit on multiple frequency bands in a terminal cycle at multiple times. For example, Slot 0-1 is on band 0, and the UE performs transceiving; slot 2-3 is on frequency band 1, UE receives and transmits; slot 4-5 is on band 2, and UE transmits and receives; slot 6-7 is on band 3 and the UE is transmitting and receiving.

Alternatively, the resource not subjected to frequency hopping may correspond to a time resource or a frequency resource for performing measurement. For example, the resource not subject to frequency hopping may include time resource, time period corresponding to SMTC configuration, and frequency band where SSB is measured. The resource for performing frequency hopping may include a time resource and a time period corresponding to the CMTC configuration, and a frequency band where the CSI-RS is measured.

Optionally, the Resource that does not perform frequency hopping may correspond to a first PDCCH monitoring opportunity (or time slot), a frequency Resource occupied by a Control Resource Set (core), and a frequency Resource corresponding to BWP.

Wherein, the first PDCCH is as follows: and monitoring the PDCCH in a preset search space or presetting the PDCCH scrambled by the RNTI. The preset search space includes at least one of a Type0 search space, a Type 0A search space, a Type 1 search space, a Type 2 search space, a Type 3 search space, a CSS, and a USS. The preset RNTI comprises at least one of SI-RNTI, P-RNTI, RA-RNTI, TC-RNTI, MSGB-RNTI, C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, PS-RNTI, SFI-RNTI, INT-RNTI, CI-RNTI and the like.

Exemplarily, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of frequency domain resources provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, assuming that a frequency band F #2 is a frequency domain resource corresponding to an initial downlink BWP, an initial uplink BWP, or an SSB, a UE performs frequency hopping on frequency resources other than the frequency domain resources corresponding to the initial downlink BWP, the initial uplink BWP, and the SSB, that is, does not perform frequency hopping on the frequency band F # 2.

Generally, a part of the system bandwidth corresponds to an initial downlink or uplink BWP, and downlink broadcasting, access-related uplink transmission, or RRC signaling transmission is performed on the BWP, where the load in the part of the band is heavy, and if part of the UEs can change the transmission and reception bands, the load in the band of the initial downlink or uplink BWP can be reduced.

For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of frequency domain resources provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, for a frequency band F #2, a time period from T1 to T3 corresponds to a measured time period (SMTC Duration) Or a Monitoring opportunity (PDCCH Monitoring Or Duration) of a first PDCCH, and a time period during which frequency hopping is not performed is a time period during which measurement is performed Or a first PDCCH Monitoring opportunity (i.e., T1 to T3 time periods).

For the measured time instant, time period or the instant, time period, of the first PDCCH monitoring, a scheduling restriction is defined. The scheduling is restricted such that the UE does not perform other downlink reception or transmission at that time. In case scheduling restrictions are introduced, or the frequency hopping is postponed.

Further, if there is a scheduling restriction, the UE may defer downlink reception or uplink transmission (defer performing the second action). For example, the UE needs to perform 4 repeated PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions, and starts from the first time, and cannot perform transmission or reception at the time of the 3 rd transmission due to scheduling restrictions, and then performs the 3 rd transmission and subsequent transmissions after the time corresponding to the scheduling restrictions is completed.

Further, the scheduling restriction may also exclude measuring the corresponding time or frequency band, i.e. no other transmissions are performed at the time or frequency band.

For example, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of frequency domain resources provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, for a frequency band F #2, a time period from T2 to T4 is a measurement time period (SMTC Duration) Or a Monitoring opportunity (PDCCH Monitoring Or Duration) of a first PDCCH, and a time period during which no frequency hopping is performed is a measurement time period Or a first PDCCH Monitoring opportunity. In connection with fig. 1, assuming that the second behavior is performed in the frequency band F #3 during the time period T3 to T4, the UE may defer the second behavior to be performed in the frequency band F #3 during the time period T4 to T5 of fig. 5.

The following description will be given by taking the first action being PDCCH monitoring or default measurement, respectively.

Example 1:

at the monitoring time of the PDCCH, the monitoring of the PDCCH collides with other downlink receptions. The frequency band of downlink reception is different from the monitored frequency band of the PDCCH. The first action is PDCCH monitoring in a first frequency band, the network configures or instructs the UE to perform a second action at the monitoring time of the PDCCH, and the second action is receiving an uplink channel or signal in other frequency bands (i.e., a second frequency band).

For example, referring to fig. 6, at the transmission time of the PDSCH transmission scheduled by the network (i.e., the second behavior), the PDCCH needs to be monitored simultaneously (i.e., the first behavior), and the two channels are not received in the same frequency band, which is limited by the fact that the UE cannot receive the PDCCH at the same time. The UE may employ any one of the following schemes 1-1 to 1-3.

1-1, the second action is the reception of the PDSCH, and the UE can determine the action of the UE according to the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the PDSCH.

And if the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the PDSCH is the high priority, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH and receives the PDSCH (namely, the UE does not execute the first action and executes the second action).

If the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the PDSCH is a low priority, the UE monitors the PDCCH and does not receive the PDSCH (i.e., the UE performs the first action and does not perform the second action).

1-2, the second action is PDSCH reception, and the PDSCH is a PDSCH scheduled by the broadcast PDCCH, then the UE does not perform PDCCH monitoring and receives the PDSCH (i.e. the UE does not perform the first action, performs the second action).

Specifically, the RNTI corresponding to the broadcast PDCCH may be at least one of the following: RA-RNTI, SI-RNTI, P-RNTI, MSG-B-RNTI, TC-RNTI.

1-3, the second action is PDSCH reception, and the PDSCH is SPS-PDSCH, then the UE does not perform PDCCH monitoring and receives PDSCH (i.e. the UE does not perform the first action, performs the second action).

1-4, if the second action is CSI-RS reception, the UE does not perform PDCCH monitoring and receives CSI-RS (the UE does not perform the first action and performs the second action on the second frequency band).

1-5, if the second action is PDCCH reception in the non-preset search space, the UE does not perform PDCCH monitoring, and receives the PDCCH in the non-preset search space (i.e. the UE does not perform the first action, and performs the second action on the second frequency band).

1-5, if the second action is PDCCH reception without the preset RNTI, the UE does not perform PDCCH monitoring, and receives PDCCH without the preset RNTI (i.e. the UE does not perform the first action, and performs the second action on the second frequency band).

1-6, if the search space type of the PDCCH monitored by the first action is the preset search space type, the UE performs PDCCH monitoring without performing the second action (i.e. the UE performs the first action on the first frequency band without performing the second action).

1-7, if the RNTI associated with the PDCCH monitored by the first action is a preset RNTI, the UE monitors the PDCCH and does not execute the second action (namely the UE executes the first action on the first frequency band and does not execute the second action).

Example 2:

at the monitoring time of the PDCCH, the monitoring of the PDCCH collides with other uplink receptions. The frequency band for uplink reception is different from the monitored frequency band of the PDCCH. The first action is PDCCH monitoring in a first frequency band, and the network configures or instructs the UE to perform a second action at the monitoring time of the PDCCH, and the second action is transmitting an uplink channel or signal in the other frequency band (i.e., the second frequency band).

2-1, the second action is PUSCH transmission, and the UE may determine the UE action according to the priority of the PUSCH.

And if the priority of the PUSCH is high, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH and sends the PUSCH.

And if the priority of the PUSCH is low, the UE monitors the PDCCH and does not send the PUSCH.

2-2, the second behavior is PUSCH transmission, and the UE may determine the UE behavior according to the content of the bearer of the PUSCH.

And if the PUSCH is the PUSCH carrying DG, MSG3 or MSG-A, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH and sends the PUSCH.

And if the PUSCH bears the CG, the UE monitors the PDCCH and does not send the PUSCH.

2-3, the second behavior is PUCCH transmission, and the UE can determine the UE behavior according to the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the PUCCH.

And if the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the PUCCH is high, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH and sends the PUCCH.

And if the priority of the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the PUCCH is low, the UE monitors the PDCCH and does not send the PUCCH.

2-4, the second behavior is PUCCH transmission, and the UE may determine the UE behavior according to the content of the PUCCH bearer.

And if the PUCCH is used for bearing the HARQ-ACK, the priority of the HARQ-ACK is the uplink control channel with high priority.

And if the PUCCH is the PUCCH for bearing the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the MSG4, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH and sends the PUCCH.

And if the PUCCH is the PUCCH for bearing the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the MSG-B, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH and sends the PUCCH.

2-5, if the second action is sending the PRACH, the UE does not monitor the PUCCH and sends the PRACH.

And if the PRACH is triggered by events such as cell switching command, wireless link failure, beam failure and the like, the UE does not monitor the PUCCH and sends the PRACH.

2-6, if the second behavior is SRS sending, the UE does not monitor the PUCCH and sends the SRS.

And 2-7, if the first behavior is monitoring of the PDCCH and the search space type of the PDCCH is a preset search space type, the UE monitors the PDCCH and does not execute the second behavior.

And 2-8, if the first behavior is monitoring of the PDCCH and the RNTI associated with the PDCCH is a preset RNTI, the UE monitors the PDCCH and does not execute the second behavior.

Example 3:

the network device may configure the UE to make a preset measurement based on a measurement reference signal (e.g., SSB or CSI-RS). The preset measurements include RLM measurements, BFD measurements, RRM measurements, L1-RSRP measurements. In particular, the first action is RRM, RLM, BFD or L1-RSRP measurement in the first frequency band, and the network configuration performs the second action at the measurement instant.

It should be noted that, in order to save the overhead of the downlink signal, the network device usually does not transmit the sounding reference signal in all frequency bands. For example, for a synchronization signal block, the network only transmits the synchronization signal block within a bandwidth corresponding to a part of the initial downlink BWP, or on an adjacent frequency resource. When there is a collision also at the time (or time period) of measurement while other signals are being transmitted and received, the following scheme may be employed.

3-1, the UE does not receive downlink signals (or channels) of other frequency bands outside the frequency band where the reference signal is located and does not send uplink signals (or channels) of other frequency bands outside the frequency band where the reference signal is located at the first time of RRM, RLM, BFD or L1-RSRP.

The first time is the measurement time, the measurement time window, the first N symbols of the measurement time and the measurement time, the last N symbols of the measurement time and the measurement time, the first N symbols of the measurement time window and the measurement time window, and the last N symbols of the measurement time window and the measurement time window.

And 3-2, if the overlapping part of the measurement time of the RLM-RS or the BFD-RS and the time for executing the second action is less than the first threshold, the UE cancels the RLM or the BFD measurement and executes the second action.

And 3-3, if the time interval between the measurement time of the RLM-RS or the BFD-RS and the time for executing the second action is less than a second threshold, the UE cancels the RLM or the BFD measurement and executes the second action.

And 3-4, if the first frequency band is a frequency band in a plurality of frequency bands configured by the network equipment and used for executing the preset measurement, the UE cancels the preset measurement and executes a second action.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, a network device may configure multiple Resource sets (Resource sets) to perform RLM measurement (or BFD measurement), where each Resource Set includes K reference signals, and the K reference signals are transmitted in different frequency bands, and K is a positive integer.

(1) The UE may make measurements (e.g., determine link quality) in units of a resource set.

For example, whether a Block Error Rate (BLER) of a hypothetical pdcch (generic pdcch) is higher than a first predetermined threshold or lower than a second predetermined threshold is determined based on a resource set.

(2) The UE may make measurements in each resource set.

Specifically, the UE may measure on at least one RS resource; the UE may measure on N measurement resources of the M measurement resources; the UE may measure on M measurement resources. Wherein N is configured by the network device, and N is less than or equal to M.

Illustratively, the interference of RLM and BFD may be obtained from measurements over full bandwidth, or partial bandwidth.

It should be noted that if the UE does not receive the RLM-RS or the BFD-RS (does not perform the first action), the UE may determine whether to indicate the IS, Oos, and beam failure event to the higher layer according to the RS resources actually received in the indication period.

The UE may determine whether to indicate IS, Oos, beam failure event to the higher layer according to the number of RS resources actually received in the indication period, link quality determined by RS measurement, and the like.

Illustratively, the resource for performing the RLM/BFD evaluation by the UE IS less than the preset number in the indication period, and the indication period does not indicate IS, Oos, and beam failure event to the higher layer.

And 3-5, in the receiving time period of the second action, if the measurement resource meeting the condition exists in the receiving frequency band of the second action, the UE receives the second action and completes the measurement in the second frequency band.

Illustratively, the measurement Resource of the first behavior is a first Resource, and if there is a second Resource meeting the condition in a second frequency band of the downlink signal/channel reception in the time period of the other downlink signal/channel reception, the terminal receives the other downlink signal/channel and completes the measurement in the second frequency band.

A) The second Resource and the measured Resource within the first frequency band of the network configuration satisfy a QCL relationship.

B) The second Resource and the measurement Resource in the first frequency band of the network configuration are the same Resource, for example, a wideband CSI-RS.

C) The EPRE of the first Resource is the same as the EPRE of the second Resource, or Power Offset of the first Resource and the second Resource is known, which may be configured by the network.

D) The network device indicates that the measurement result of the second Resource is identical to the measurement result of the first Resource, or that the measurement can be performed on any Resource.

In some cases, the UE may perform measurements on the frequency band of downlink signal/channel reception, although other downlink signal/channel reception and measurement RSs are in different frequency bands, if certain conditions are met. Thus, the terminal can complete downlink reception and measurement on one frequency band simultaneously.

For example, the SMTC configured by the network corresponds to an SSB in the first frequency band, but the network also configures an SSB in the second frequency band, where the SSB may be a Non-Cell Defining SSB (NCD-SSB) of a Non-defined Cell. The UE may make measurements based on the SSB and consider the measurement results to be equivalent to the SSB in the first frequency band. It may further be required that the Energy Per Resource Element (EPRE) of both SSBs is the same, or that the Power Offset between the two is known, including network indicated, in which case the above can be done. Or the network indicates that the measurement of SSBs in the second frequency band may be equivalent to the measurement of the first frequency band.
