As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a method 200 for transmitting a Gap request message, which may be performed by a terminal, in other words, by software or hardware installed in the terminal, and the method includes the following steps.
S202: the terminal sends a first Gap request message, wherein the first Gap request message comprises change indication information, and the change indication information is used for requesting at least one of the following information: changing Gap auxiliary information; the Gap configuration is changed.
Optionally, the first Gap request message may be at least one of: terminal assistance information (i.e., UE assistance information); RRC reconfiguration complete message. For example, the terminal reports the terminal auxiliary information to the network side device, where the terminal auxiliary information may be used to request to change Gap auxiliary information or change Gap configuration; for another example, the terminal sends an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the network side device, where the RRC reconfiguration complete message may be used to request to change Gap auxiliary information or change Gap configuration; before the terminal sends the RRC reconfiguration complete message, the network side device may provide Gap configuration for the terminal through the RRC reconfiguration message.
Optionally, change indication information carried in the first Gap request message is used to request to change one or more Gap auxiliary information; each Gap auxiliary information may correspond to one or more gaps, and the one or more gaps may be gaps for which a change is requested. The modified Gap assistance information mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may include at least one of: adding Gap auxiliary information; modify Gap side information and release Gap side information.
It can be understood that, in the case that the terminal requests to add additional Gap auxiliary information, the network side device may provide the Gap configuration corresponding to the added Gap auxiliary information for the terminal; under the condition that the terminal requests to modify the Gap auxiliary information, the network side equipment can provide Gap configuration corresponding to the modified Gap auxiliary information for the terminal; and under the condition that the terminal requests to release the Gap auxiliary information, the network side equipment releases the Gap configuration corresponding to the released Gap auxiliary information.
Optionally, the change instruction information may include at least one of the following 1) to 4):
1) A Gap index corresponding to an index of Gap side information, and/or a Gap index corresponding to a Gap configuration. Alternatively, the Gap index may be used to number newly added Gap side information, or correspond to existing Gap side information, or correspond to an existing Gap configuration.
2) Changing instruction information of operation, wherein the operation comprises at least one of the following: adding, modifying, releasing, etc., the changing operation is usually referred to as a changing operation of the Gap auxiliary information.
3) The value of Gap parameter. The Gap parameter value may be parameter information of the Gap that needs to be changed. Optionally, the Gap parameter value comprises at least one of: gap length, gap period, gap start time, gap end time, and Gap extension time. In this example, the terminal may carry the specific parameter value of the Gap requested to be added or modified in the first Gap request message.
4) A Gap Information Element (IE) indicating a Gap type, including, for example, periodic Gap, one-time Gap, etc.
The Gap assistance information generally includes preference information (Gap reference) of the terminal for the Gap, and is used to assist the network-side device to configure the Gap for the terminal. The terminal may have one or more Gap assistance information. One Gap assistance information corresponds to one or more one-time Gap requests, or to periodic Gap requests.
Actually, the above 1) to 4) may be referred to as Gap auxiliary information, so that the aforementioned change indication information includes at least one of the following cases: firstly, the method comprises the following steps: the change instruction information is at least one of the above 1) to 4); II, secondly, the method comprises the following steps: the change instruction information carries at least one of the above 1) to 4), that is, the change instruction information is different from the Gap auxiliary information.
In an example, the change indication information may include a Gap index, and if the Gap index corresponds to an index of a Gap configured in the RRC reconfiguration message (RRCReconfig), the Gap index may be set to be null or otherwise not corresponding to the Gap configured Gap index in the RRC reconfiguration message (RRCReconfig) when the terminal requests a new addition of Gap assistance information.
The Gap configuration is a Gap configuration provided by the network side device to the terminal, for example, the network side device provides the Gap configuration for the terminal through the RRC reconfiguration message.
In the embodiment of the present application, a terminal sends a first Gap request message, and change indication information carried in the first Gap request message is used to request at least one of the following: changing Gap auxiliary information; the Gap configuration is changed, and the following description will be made in three cases.
Firstly, the method comprises the following steps: in a case where the change instruction information is used to request to change Gap assistance information, the network side device may change the Gap assistance information based on the Gap assistance information carried in the first Gap request message. Subsequently, the network side device may also provide Gap configuration for the terminal based on the changed Gap auxiliary information.
II, secondly: in a case that the change indication information is used to request to change the Gap configuration, the network side device may change the Gap configuration based on the Gap auxiliary information carried in the first Gap request message.
Thirdly, the method comprises the following steps: in the case where the change instruction information is used to request a change of Gap assistance information and Gap configuration, the Gap assistance information and the Gap configuration may be in a corresponding relationship. The network side device may change the Gap assistance information based on the Gap assistance information carried by the first Gap request message, and change the Gap configuration based on the Gap assistance information carried by the first Gap request message.
In the above three cases, the following steps may be further included after S202: the terminal receives Gap configuration, and the Gap configuration can be provided for the terminal by the network side equipment based on the first Gap request message.
According to the method for sending the Gap request message, the terminal can send the first Gap request message, and the Gap auxiliary information and/or the Gap configuration is requested to be changed through the change indication information included in the first Gap request message. The embodiment of the application solves the problem that the terminal cannot request to change the Gap, and the network side equipment can provide the Gap configuration matched with the Gap preference of the terminal for the terminal in time, so that the communication performance of the system is improved; meanwhile, by standardizing the sending flow of the Gap request message, the size of an air interface signaling message is reduced, and the Gap negotiation efficiency between the terminal and the network side equipment is improved.
The method for sending the Gap request message provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a multi-card terminal, and the multi-card terminal can carry a plurality of Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs), wherein one SIM corresponds to one UE. The embodiment considers that the Gap preference of the UE is changed due to the mobility processes of cell reselection and the like of the multi-card terminal on other networks, and the embodiment facilitates the network side equipment to provide the Gap configuration matched with the Gap preference of the UE for the UE in the multi-card terminal in time, so that the communication performance of the system is improved.
For the Gap index mentioned in the above embodiment, the Gap index may correspond to at least one of the following 1) to 3):
1) Gap index of Gap configuration in RRC reconfiguration message (RRCRECONfig); wherein the RRC reconfiguration message includes a Gap configuration and a Gap index corresponding to the Gap configuration.
In one example, the change indication information includes the Gap index; and the change indication information is used for requesting to change the Gap configuration corresponding to the Gap index. In this example, if the first Gap request message sent by the terminal carries a Gap index, it indicates that the terminal requests to change the Gap configuration corresponding to the Gap index.
2) The first Gap request message indicates (specifically, may be an index of or carries) one or more Gap assistance information.
3) An index of a Gap requested in the one or more Gap assistance information indicated by the first Gap request message.
The terminal modifying the Gap assistance information will be described below with reference to an example. In this example, the first Gap request message carries the Gap parameter value, and may also carry the Gap index and/or the Gap information element. Optionally, the Gap parameter value is used to request to modify the Gap index and/or Gap auxiliary information corresponding to the Gap cell.
In this example, the terminal does not request to change the first Gap assistance information; wherein the first Gap side information is a Gap index and/or Gap side information corresponding to a Gap information element that is not included in the first Gap request message.
Specifically, in this example, the terminal sends the first Gap request message, which at least includes the Gap parameter value and may also carry the Gap index and/or the Gap information element. The Gap parameter value represents the modification of the Gap index and/or the original Gap auxiliary information parameter corresponding to the Gap cell.
Further, for an uncontained Gap index and/or Gap information element, it indicates that its corresponding Gap side information is not modified (i.e. the content of the Gap side information is the same as that of the last transmitted Gap side information). The Gap index and/or Gap cell mentioned here, which is not included, may be included in the following ranges: the network side equipment configures corresponding Gap index and/or Gap cell for the Gap provided by the terminal.
An example of releasing the Gap assistance information by the terminal will be described below with reference to an example. In this example, the first Gap request message includes change indication information for requesting release of part or all of the gaps; the first Gap request message carries an empty Gap cell, and the empty Gap cell is used for requesting to release a Gap corresponding to the empty Gap cell; or the first Gap request message carries a Gap index without carrying a specific Gap parameter value, and the Gap index is used for requesting to release the Gap corresponding to the Gap index.
Specifically, in this example, for example, the terminal sends the first Gap request message to release part or all of the Gap assistance information, which includes one of the following 1) and 2):
1) The first Gap request message carries empty Gap IEs to release gaps corresponding to the empty Gap IEs. The empty Gap IE, that is, the Gap IE, does not carry any Gap parameter value, and represents that the terminal does not have a Preference (No Preference) for corresponding Gap. The Gap parameter values include Gap length, gap period, gap start time, and the like.
2) The first Gap request message carries the Gap index and does not carry other Gap auxiliary information to request to release the Gap corresponding to the Gap index (or called release Gap auxiliary information).
Optionally, in an example, the sending, by the terminal, the first Gap request message in the foregoing embodiments includes at least one of:
1) If the terminal has a preference for Gap configuration and/or has Gap assistance information to send and a Prohibit Timer (Prohibit Timer) is not running, the terminal sends a first Gap request message, the Prohibit Timer is associated with the Gap assistance information.
For example, after the terminal sends any Gap request message, the terminal may start a corresponding prohibit timer, where the prohibit timer is configured by the network side device (for example, configured in an RRC reconfiguration message or system broadcast) or agreed by a protocol.
If the terminal has a Gap configuration preference (Gap reference) and/or Gap assistance information to send and the prohibit timer is not running, the terminal sends a first Gap request message. Optionally, the Gap is configured to perform multi-card tasks or tasks of the UE on other networks.
2) And if the Gap configuration received by the terminal cannot meet the Gap requirement of the terminal and the forbidden timer does not run, the terminal sends a first Gap request message. The prohibit timer is associated with Gap assistance information.
This example, for example, when a Gap configuration (configured Gap) received by the terminal cannot satisfy a Gap requirement of a Multi-SIM (Multi-SIM) of the terminal and a corresponding prohibit timer is not running, the terminal initiates a transmission process of Multi-SIM Gap assistance information.
3) And if the Gap auxiliary information of the terminal is changed, the terminal sends a first Gap request message.
4) And if the terminal sends the second Gap request message and does not receive the Gap corresponding to the second Gap request message and configured by the network side equipment within the first preset time length, the terminal sends the first Gap request message.
For example, the terminal sends the second Gap request message, and does not receive the corresponding Gap configured by the network within the limited time length, and the terminal resends the Gap request message. Wherein the defined duration may be controlled by the aforementioned prohibit timer. The first/second Gap request message may include a periodic Gap and/or a One-shot Gap.
5) The terminal sends a third Gap request message for requesting periodic Gap, and if the network side device does not configure the Gap corresponding to the third Gap request message or the network side device configures disposable Gap, the terminal sends a first Gap request message for requesting periodic Gap or retransmits the third Gap request message.
For example, if the terminal sends a third Gap request message, the third Gap request message is used to request a periodic Gap, and the network does not configure a corresponding Gap or the network configures a one-shot Gap, the terminal may send the first Gap request message used to request the periodic Gap or resend the third Gap request message.
The first Gap request message introduced in 1) to 5) above may be retransmitted by the terminal, that is, the terminal has previously sent a Gap request message, for example, the second Gap request message and the third Gap request message mentioned above.
Optionally, in another example, in each of the foregoing embodiments, it is mentioned that the first Gap request message is sent by the terminal after performing cell handover, and the sending of the first Gap request message by the terminal includes one of:
1) Within a second preset time length before the first Gap request message is sent, if the terminal sends a fourth Gap request message and is still configured to provide Gap auxiliary information in a switched target cell, the terminal sends the first Gap request message;
in this example, during the process of performing handover from the source cell to the target cell, the target cell carries configuration information in the handover command, and the configuration information configures the terminal to provide the Gap assistance information.
For example, if the terminal initiates the transmission of the Gap request message in the previous second and is still configured to provide the relevant Gap assistance information in the target cell to which the terminal is handed over, the terminal initiates the transmission of the Gap request message. Optionally, after the terminal sends the first Gap request message, the terminal may further start or restart a prohibit timer corresponding to the Gap assistance information.
2) The terminal transmits a first Gap request message if the terminal is configured to provide Gap assistance information.
In this example, during the process of performing handover from the source cell to the target cell, the target cell carries configuration information in the handover command, and the configuration information configures the terminal to provide Gap assistance information.
For example, in the target cell to which the terminal is handed over, if the terminal is configured to provide relevant Gap assistance information, the terminal initiates transmission of a periodic Gap request message, which may include periodic Gap and/or One-shot Gap (Gap).
This example also illustrates that, at the target cell to which handover is performed, if the terminal is configured to provide relevant Gap assistance information, the terminal initiates transmission of a Gap request message for One-time Gap (One-shot Gap).
The first Gap request message introduced in 1) and 2) above may be retransmitted by the terminal after handover to the target cell, for example, the terminal sends a Gap request message in the source cell).
Optionally, in each of the foregoing embodiments, after the terminal sends the first Gap request message, the method further includes: the terminal starts or restarts a prohibition timer; during the period of prohibiting the timer from running, the terminal does not send any Gap request message, where the any Gap request message mentioned here includes the first Gap request message, the second Gap request message, the third Gap request message, and the like in the above embodiments.
In order to describe the method for transmitting/receiving the Gap request message in detail, several specific embodiments will be described below.

S302: and the terminal sends a Gap request message, wherein the Gap request message contains Gap auxiliary information. One or more Gap side information may be included in the Gap request message. One Gap assistance information corresponds to one or more one-time Gap requests, or to periodic Gap requests.
In this embodiment, the Gap request message includes a Gap index to mark one or more Gap side information or request information.
S304: optionally, the terminal receives an RRC reconfiguration message, where the reconfiguration message includes Gap configuration information.

This step corresponds to S202 in the previous embodiment.
Without loss of generality, as shown in fig. 3, the terminal transmits a Gap request message including Gap index 1, gap index 2 in S302. In S306, the terminal sends a Gap request message, which includes Gap index 1 and is used to update Gap assistance information corresponding to Gap index 1.
Alternatively, the terminal does not desire to change the Gap assistance information corresponding to the Gap index 2.
In other embodiments, if the terminal releases one or more Gap auxiliary information, the terminal includes the corresponding Gap index in the Gap request message in S306, but sets the Gap parameter value in the Gap auxiliary information to a null or invalid value.
Example two
The embodiment is a Gap request update based on Gap IE in Gap auxiliary information, and the main process is the same as the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, and the embodiment includes the following steps.
S402: the terminal transmits a Gap request message. The Gap request message contains one or more Gap IEs to indicate different gaps, such as periodic Gap (PeriodicGap), one-time Gap (OneshotGap).
S404: optionally, the terminal receives an RRC reconfiguration message, where the reconfiguration message includes Gap configuration information.
S406: the terminal sends a Gap request message, which contains one or all Gap IEs to update the corresponding Gap assistance information.
This step corresponds to S202 in the previous embodiment.
Without loss of generality, as shown in fig. 4, the terminal sends a Gap request message including a periodic Gap IE (PeriodicGap) and a one-time Gap IE (OneshotGap) at S402. In S406, the terminal sends a Gap request message, which includes a periodic Gap IE (periodic Gap) for updating Gap assistance information corresponding to the periodic Gap IE (periodic Gap).
Alternatively, the terminal does not desire to change the Gap assistance information corresponding to the oneshot Gap (oneshot Gap).
In other embodiments, if the terminal releases one or more Gap assistance information, the terminal sets the corresponding Gap IE to null in the Gap request message in S606.
