Description

Configuration method, device and apparatus for measurement gap and storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for configuring a measurement gap.

Background

When the bandwidth of a terminal (or also called User Equipment, UE) receiver is insufficient to cover both a service frequency point and a frequency point where a cell to be measured is located, a measurement gap needs to be defined, and in the measurement gap, the terminal interrupts service with the service cell, and measures the cell to be measured with a certain gap.

Three configurations of measurement gap are supported in a New air interface (NR) system, namely, per-UE measurement gap, per-FR1 measurement gap and per-FR2 measurement gap. FR1 measurement gap is FR1 (Frequency Range 1, 450MHz-6000 MHz, corresponding to medium and low frequencies) measurement gap, FR2 measurement gap is FR2 (Frequency Range 2, 24250MHz-52600 MHz, corresponding to high frequencies) measurement gap.

However, in the dual connectivity scenario of the current NR system, the network side can only configure one per-UE measurement gap (at this time, per-FR measurement gap cannot be configured); alternatively, the network side may configure the per-FR1 measurement gap and the per-FR2 measurement gap at the same time, but at most only one per-FR1 measurement gap and one per-FR2 measurement gap may be configured, so that flexibility of network configuration measurement gap is limited, and a measurement period of the terminal is prolonged.

Detailed Description

In the embodiment of the application, the term "and/or" describes the association relationship of the association objects, which means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may be represented: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the context-dependent object is an "or" relationship.

The term "plurality" in the embodiments of the present application means two or more, and other adjectives are similar thereto.

The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.

In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the various embodiments of the present application, some relevant background knowledge is first presented below.

(1) Measurement of gap

When the bandwidth of the terminal receiver is insufficient to cover the service frequency point and the frequency point of the cell to be measured at the same time, a measurement gap needs to be defined, and in the measurement gap, the terminal interrupts the service with the service cell and measures the cell to be measured with a certain gap. Whether or not a measurement is needed for the measurement of gap depends on the terminal capability, the Bandwidth Part (BWP) activated, and the measurement object specific situation.

Three configurations of measurement gap are supported in a New air interface (NR) system, namely, per-UE measurement gap, per-FR1 measurement gap and per-FR2 measurement gap. FR1 measurement gap is FR1 (Frequency Range 1, 450MHz-6000 MHz, corresponding to medium and low frequencies) measurement gap, FR2 measurement gap is FR2 (Frequency Range 2, 24250MHz-52600 MHz, corresponding to high frequencies) measurement gap. Wherein the per-UE measurement gap is the one that the terminal must support, and the per-FR measurement gap requires the terminal reporting capability. In the current NR system, the network side can only configure one per-UE measurement gap, and at the moment, the per-FR measurement gap cannot be configured; the network side can configure both per-FR1 measurement gap and per-FR2 measurement gap, but at most only one per-FR1 measurement gap and one per-FR2 measurement gap can be configured.

(2) Measurement configuration

Object of measurement (Measurement Object, MO): what the measured target is, a measured object Identification (ID) and a specific configuration of the corresponding measured target are included. The connected NR measurement currently supports two pilot measurements: including radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurements based on synchronization Signal blocks (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB) and channel state information Reference Signal (Channel State Information-Reference Signal, CSI-RS) pilots.

Reporting configuration (Report Configuration): measurement reporting criteria are defined, including a measurement reporting Identification (ID) and a specific configuration of the corresponding measurement reporting criteria.

Measurement identification (Measurement ID): a separate ID, associating a particular measurement object with a particular reporting configuration.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of issuing association relations of measurement configuration provided in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, each group of measurement is configured in an association way according to an index mode, a total index is a measurement identifier measId, all the measurement is arranged completely according to the association relations of the measurement identifiers, and the measurement is issued to a terminal through a network side. Each measurement identifier is connected to one measurement object identifier and one reporting configuration identifier at the same time, which means that the measurement object identifier and the reporting configuration identifier which are not connected to the measurement identifier are combined, and even if the measurement object identifier and the reporting configuration identifier are issued to the terminal, no measurement is performed.

In current NR systems, a variety of dual connectivity (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity, MR-DC) scenarios are supported, including (NG) EN-DC, NE-DC, and NR-DC. For any dual-connection scenario, the network side can only configure one per-UE Measurement Gap (MG) at a time, or one per-FR1 MG and one per-FR2 MG, which limits flexibility of network configuration MG and prolongs Measurement period of the terminal.

In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a solution for supporting configuration of multiple MGs (may be referred to as a current MG) for a terminal at the same time in a dual connection scenario, so as to improve flexibility of network configuration MG and reduce measurement period of the terminal.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for configuring a measurement gap according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a terminal, as shown in fig. 2, and the method includes the following steps:

step 200, receiving configuration information of a conclusive measurement gap MG, wherein the configuration information of the conclusive MG is used for providing a conclusive MG used for executing primary node MN side measurement and/or secondary node SN side measurement for a terminal;

specifically, the conclusive MG may be understood as a plurality of measurement gages that may coexist simultaneously, unlike the prior art, in the conclusive MG mechanism, the network side may configure per-UE conclusive MG, per-FR1 conclusive MG, and per-FR2 conclusive MG simultaneously, which is not limited in number, and may configure a plurality of different types of conclusive MG simultaneously.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of current MGs are configured for a terminal at the same time in a dual-connection scenario, and a network side (Master Node, MN) and/or a Secondary Node (SN)) may determine the current MGs configured for the terminal (including a time domain position where the current MGs appear, etc.), and send configuration information of the current MGs including the current MGs to the terminal, so that the terminal may select a corresponding current MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

Step 201, determining MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each current MG provided in the current MG configuration information.

Specifically, after receiving the configuration information of the current MG, the terminal may determine which measurements of the MN side and/or which measurements of the SN side are applicable to each current MG included in the configuration information, for example, may determine which network node the current MG is applicable to according to the configuration information of the current MG received from which network node, or may determine according to other indication information. Further, the terminal may further determine at least one of a measurement object identifier, a measurement frequency point, and a measurement pilot type on the MN side and/or the SN side to which the current MG is applicable. The terminal can select the corresponding current MG when performing MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement according to the determined measurement for each current MG.

According to the configuration method of the measurement gap, the terminal can receive the configuration information of the current MG sent by the network side and determine the application range of each current MG, so that the corresponding current MG can be selected when MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement are performed, the situation that the limitation of the type and the number of the MG is avoided under a double-connection scene is achieved, meanwhile, a plurality of MG are configured for the terminal, and therefore the flexibility of the network configuration MG can be improved, and the measurement period of the terminal is shortened.

Optionally, receiving the conclusive MG configuration information includes:

receiving first current MG configuration information sent by the MN, wherein the first current MG configuration information is used for providing all types of current MG used for executing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement for the terminal; or alternatively, the process may be performed,

respectively receiving second current MG configuration information sent by the MN and third current MG configuration information sent by the SN; the second current MG configuration information is used for providing the terminal with per-UE current MG and/or per-FR1 current MG used for performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement, and the third current MG configuration information is used for providing the terminal with per-FR2 current MG used for performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

Specifically, there may be multiple implementations for the network side to determine the current MG configured for the terminal.

For example, in the case where the MN can decide all types of conclusive MGs, i.e., per-UE conclusive MGs, per-FR1 conclusive MGs, and per-FR2 conclusive MGs are all configurable by the MN. In this case, the MN may be responsible for configuring all types of conclusive MG used by the terminal to perform all measurements (including MN-side measurements and SN-side measurements, it being understood that for the case where a certain side network node is not configured with measurements for the terminal, the all measurements include only measurements configured by the other side network node for the terminal); the MN may also be responsible for configuring only all types of conclusive MG used by the terminal to perform MN-side measurements, while the SN is responsible for configuring all types of conclusive MG used by the terminal to perform SN-side measurements.

For example, MN and SN may also determine a partial type of the current MG, respectively. If MN determines per-UE and per-FR1 controller MG, SN determines per-FR2 controller MG; alternatively, MN determines per-UE and per-FR2 coherent MG and SN determines per-FR1 coherent MG; alternatively, MN determines per-FR1 and per-FR2 con MG and SN determines per-UE con MG; alternatively, MN determines per-UE current MG and SN determines per-FR1 and per-FR2 current MG; alternatively, MN determines per-FR1 controller MG and SN determines per-UE and per-FR2 controller MG; alternatively, MN determines per-FR2 coherent MG and SN determines per-UE and per-FR1 coherent MG. In the case where MN and SN decide partial types of the current MG, respectively, MN may be responsible for configuring the current MG of a first type (e.g., per-UE and per-FR 1) used by the terminal to perform all measurements, while SN is responsible for configuring the current MG of a second type (i.e., other types than the first type, e.g., per-FR 2) used by the terminal to perform all measurements.

After determining the configuration information of the current MG, the MN and/SN may send the configuration information of the current MG to the terminal, where the sending manner may be that the determining node sends the configuration information, or that a certain network node (such as MN or SN) is responsible for sending all the current MG.

Optionally, determining MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each current MG provided in the current MG configuration information includes:

Specifically, after receiving the configuration information of the current MG, the terminal needs to determine which measurements on the MN side and/or which measurements on the SN side are applicable to each current MG included in the configuration information, where the determination manners may be as follows.

In the first manner, after the terminal receives the configuration information of the current MG sent by the network side, the terminal may determine, based on the network node sending the configuration information of the current MG, MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement applicable to each current MG included in the configuration information of the current MG, for example, for the configuration information of the current MG received from the MN side, the terminal may default that the current MG in the configuration information of the current MG is applicable to the measurement of the MN side; for the configuration information of the current MG received from the SN side, the terminal may default that the current MG indicated in the configuration information of the current MG is suitable for the measurement of the SN side.

In the second manner, the terminal may determine, according to the indication information sent by the MN and/or the SN, MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each current MG included in the current MG configuration information, where the indication information may indicate an applicable relationship between each current MG and the MN side measurement and/or the SN side measurement. The indication information may be sent by a network node (such as MN) that sends the configuration information of the current MG, or may be sent by another network node (such as SN) other than the network node that sends the configuration information of the current MG, or may be sent by the MN to send an applicable relation between the current MG and the MN side measurement, or sent by the SN to send an applicable relation between the current MG and the SN side measurement.

The indication information sent by the MN and/or SN may be included in the current MG configuration information and sent to the terminal, or may be sent to the terminal in other manners, for example, may be included in other information other than the current MG configuration information and separately sent to the terminal, where the specific implementation manner may be determined by the network node sending the indication information according to needs, and is not limited herein.

Alternatively, the content indicated in the indication information may include any one or a combination of the following:

a measurement object identifier applicable to the current MG;

For example, in the indication information sent by the MN to the terminal, it may: 1) A measurement object identification indicating whether each measurement object identification is an SN side (or whether each measurement object identification is an MN side or an SN side); or 2) carrying an indication of whether or not it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or 3) displaying the information carrying the SN side frequency point applicable to the conclusive MG and/or the measurement pilot frequency type (aiming at the situation that the MN cannot obtain the corresponding relation between the measurement object identifier of the SN side and the measurement frequency point).

The indication information sent by the SN to the terminal may be: 1) A measurement object identification indicating whether each measurement object identification is an SN side (or whether each measurement object identification is an MN side or an SN side); or 2) carrying an indication of whether or not it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or 3) displaying the information carrying the frequency point of the MN side and/or the measurement pilot frequency type (aiming at the case that the SN can not obtain the corresponding relation between the identification of the measurement object of the MN side and the measurement frequency point) which are applicable to the conclusive MG.

Optionally, determining, based on the indication information, MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each current MG provided in the current MG configuration information includes:

based on the network node sending the indication information, determining MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement respectively applicable to each current MG provided in the current MG configuration information.

Specifically, after receiving the indication information sent by the network side, the terminal may determine MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement applicable to each current MG included in the current MG configuration information based on the network node sending the indication information, for example, in a case where the indication information does not explicitly indicate whether the current MG is applicable to MN-side or SN-side measurement, the terminal may determine, based on the indication information received from which network node, which network node the current MG is applicable to by default (further may include a measurement object identifier, a measurement frequency point, a measurement pilot type, and the like).

Optionally, based on the network node sending the indication information, determining MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each current MG included in the current MG configuration information includes:

if the network node sending the indication information is the MN, the concurrent MG indicated in the default indication information is suitable for measuring at the MN side; or alternatively, the process may be performed,

If the network node sending the instruction information is SN, the convergent MG indicated in the default instruction information is applicable to measurement of the SN side.

For example, for the indication information received from the MN side, the terminal may default that the current MG indicated in the indication information is suitable for measurement on the MN side, for example, the indication information may indicate only a measurement object identifier (such as MO 1) suitable for a current MG, but does not explicitly indicate whether the MO1 is MO1 on the MN side or MO1 on the SN side, and the terminal may determine that the current MG is suitable for MO1 on the MN side according to the indication information from the MN. Similarly, for the indication information received from the SN side, the terminal may default to the measurement of the SN side for the conclusive MG indicated in the indication information, so as to determine the application range of the conclusive MG.

Fig. 3 is a second flowchart of a measurement gap configuration method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a master node MN, as shown in fig. 3, and the method includes the following steps:

step 300, determining configuration information of a current measurement gap MG, where the configuration information of the current MG is used to provide the current MG used for performing MN side measurement and/or auxiliary node SN side measurement for the terminal;

step 301, transmitting the configuration information of the current MG to the terminal.

Specifically, the conclusive MG may be understood as a plurality of measurement gages that may coexist simultaneously, unlike the prior art, in the conclusive MG mechanism, the network side may configure per-UE conclusive MG, per-FR1 conclusive MG, and per-FR2 conclusive MG simultaneously, and the number is not limited, and may configure a plurality of different types of conclusive MG simultaneously.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of current MGs are configured for a terminal at the same time in a dual-connection scenario, and the MN may determine the current MG configured for the terminal (including the time domain position where the current MG appears, etc.), and send the current MG configuration information including the current MG to the terminal, so that the terminal may select the corresponding current MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

After receiving the configuration information of the current MG, the terminal may determine which measurements of the MN side and/or which measurements of the SN side are applicable to each current MG included in the configuration information, for example, may determine which network node the current MG is applicable to according to the configuration information of the current MG received from which network node, or may determine according to other indication information. Further, the terminal may further determine at least one of a measurement object identifier, a measurement frequency point, and a measurement pilot type on the MN side and/or the SN side to which the current MG is applicable. The terminal can select the corresponding current MG when performing MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement according to the determined measurement for each current MG.

According to the configuration method of the measurement gap, the MN can determine the current MG configured for the terminal and send the configuration information of the current MG to the terminal, so that the terminal can select the corresponding current MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement, the limitation of the type and the number of the MG is avoided, the flexibility of network configuration MG can be improved, and the measurement period of the terminal is shortened.

Optionally, determining the conclusive MG configuration information includes:

determining first current MG configuration information, wherein the first current MG configuration information is used for providing all types of current MG used for performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement for the terminal; or alternatively, the process may be performed,

and determining second current MG configuration information, wherein the second current MG configuration information is used for providing the per-UE current MG and/or per-FR1 current MG used for performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement for the terminal.

After determining the configuration information of the current MG, the MN and/or SN may send the configuration information of the current MG to the terminal, where the sending manner may be that the determining node sends the configuration information, or that a certain network node (such as MN or SN) is responsible for sending all the current MG.

Optionally, before determining the configuration information of the current MG, the method further includes:

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, before the MN determines the configuration information of the current MG, the SN may send first auxiliary information to the MN, and assist the MN in determining the configuration information of the current MG.

Optionally, the first auxiliary information may include one or more of:

measuring frequency point information of an SN side;

a measurement object identifier on the SN side;

measurement pilot type information on SN side.

After receiving the first auxiliary information sent by the SN, the MN can determine the measurement configuration (including the measurement frequency point, the measurement object identifier, the measurement pilot type, and the like) of the SN side configured by the SN for the terminal, so that the MN can determine the conclusive MG applicable to the measurement of the SN side based on the measurement configuration of the SN side.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

and sending indication information to the terminal, wherein the indication information is used for indicating the applicable relation between each current MG and the MN side measurement and/or the SN side measurement provided in the current MG configuration information.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the MN may send indication information to the terminal, so that the terminal determines, based on the indication information, MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each current MG included in the current MG configuration information, where the indication information may indicate an applicable relationship between each current MG and the MN side and/or SN side measurement. The MN may send the applicable relation between the current MG and all measurements; the MN may transmit only the applicable relation between the conclusive MG and the MN side measurement, and the SN may transmit the applicable relation between the conclusive MG and the SN side measurement.

The indication information sent by the MN may be included in the current MG configuration information and sent to the terminal, or may be sent to the terminal in other manners, for example, may be included in other information other than the current MG configuration information and sent separately to the terminal, and the specific implementation manner may be determined by the MN according to the need, which is not limited herein.

a measurement object identifier applicable to the current MG;

Optionally, the method further comprises:

and sending the configuration information of the current MG to the SN.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining the configuration information of the current MG, the MN may further send the configuration information of the current MG to the SN, so that the SN may learn that the MN is the current MG configured by the terminal, and temporarily interrupt interaction with the terminal at a time domain position where the current MG appears.

Optionally, sending the configuration information of the current MG to the SN includes:

and sending the configuration information of the current MG and a first instruction to the SN, wherein the first instruction is used for indicating the SN side measurement frequency point and/or the measurement pilot frequency type applicable to each current MG provided in the configuration information of the current MG.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the present application, when the MN sends the configuration information of the current MG to the SN, the MN may also send a first indication to the SN, where the first indication is used to indicate an SN side measurement frequency point and/or a measurement pilot type applicable to each current MG included in the configuration information of the current MG. For example, when the MN cannot obtain the correspondence between the measurement object identifier on the SN side and the measurement frequency point, the MN may determine the current MG corresponding to the MN side and/or the SN side measurement, instruct SN to the SN by using the SN side measurement frequency point and/or the measurement pilot type applicable to each current MG, further determine the measurement object identifier on the SN side applicable to each current MG by using the SN according to the instruction, and send the measurement object identifier applicable to each current MG to the terminal.

Fig. 4 is a third flowchart of a measurement gap configuration method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to an auxiliary node SN, as shown in fig. 4, and the method includes the following steps:

step 400, determining configuration information of a current measurement gap MG, where the configuration information of the current MG is used to provide the current MG used for performing MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement of the master node for the terminal;

step 401, transmitting the configuration information of the current MG to the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of current MGs are configured for the terminal at the same time in a dual-connection scenario, and the SN may determine the current MG configured for the terminal (including the time domain position where the current MG appears, etc.), and send the current MG configuration information including the current MG to the terminal, so that the terminal may select the corresponding current MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

According to the configuration method of the measurement gap, the SN can determine the current MG configured for the terminal and send the configuration information of the current MG to the terminal, so that the terminal can select the corresponding current MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement, the limitation of the type and the number of the MG is avoided, the flexibility of network configuration MG can be improved, and the measurement period of the terminal is shortened.

Optionally, determining the conclusive MG configuration information includes:

Third current MG configuration information is determined, the third current MG configuration information being used to provide the terminal with per-FR2 current MG used to perform MN-side measurements and/or SN-side measurements.

For example, MN and SN may also determine a partial type of the current MG, respectively. If MN determines per-UE and per-FR1 controller MG, SN determines per-FR2 controller MG; alternatively, MN determines per-UE and per-FR2 coherent MG and SN determines per-FR1 coherent MG; alternatively, MN determines per-FR1 and per-FR2con MG and SN determines per-UE con MG; alternatively, MN determines per-UE current MG and SN determines per-FR1 and per-FR2 current MG; alternatively, MN determines per-FR1 controller MG and SN determines per-UE and per-FR2 controller MG; alternatively, MN determines per-FR2 coherent MG and SN determines per-UE and per-FR1 coherent MG. In the case where MN and SN decide partial types of the current MG, respectively, MN may be responsible for configuring the current MG of a first type (e.g., per-UE and per-FR 1) used by the terminal to perform all measurements, while SN is responsible for configuring the current MG of a second type (i.e., other types than the first type, e.g., per-FR 2) used by the terminal to perform all measurements.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, before the SN determines the configuration information of the current MG, the MN may send second auxiliary information to the SN, to assist the SN in determining the configuration information of the current MG.

Optionally, the second auxiliary information may include one or more of:

measuring frequency point information at MN side;

a measuring object identifier at the MN side;

measuring pilot frequency type information at MN side;

terminal configurable maximum number of current MG.

After the SN receives the second auxiliary information sent by the MN, the measurement configuration (including the measurement frequency point, the measurement object identifier, the measurement pilot type, and the like) of the MN side configured by the MN for the terminal can be determined, so that the SN can determine the conclusive MG applicable to the MN side measurement based on the measurement configuration of the MN side.

In addition, the MN may further carry the maximum number of configurable conclusive MGs in the second auxiliary information, so that the SN may ensure that the number of configured conclusive MGs does not exceed the terminal capability when configuring the conclusive MGs for the terminal according to the maximum number of configurable conclusive MGs.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the SN may send indication information to the terminal, so that the terminal determines MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each current MG included in the current MG configuration information based on the indication information, where the indication information may indicate an applicable relationship between each current MG and the MN side and/or SN side measurement. The SN may send the applicable relation between the current MG and all measurements; the SN may transmit only the applicable relation between the conclusive MG and the SN side measurement, and the MN transmits the applicable relation between the conclusive MG and the MN side measurement.

The indication information sent by the SN may be included in the configuration information of the current MG and sent to the terminal, or may be sent to the terminal in other manners, for example, may be included in other information other than the configuration information of the current MG and sent separately to the terminal, and the specific implementation manner may be determined by the SN according to needs, which is not limited herein.

a measurement object identifier applicable to the current MG;

For example, in the indication information sent by the SN to the terminal, it may be: 1) A measurement object identification indicating whether each measurement object identification is an SN side (or whether each measurement object identification is an MN side or an SN side); or 2) carrying an indication of whether or not it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or 3) displaying the information carrying the frequency point of the MN side and/or the measurement pilot frequency type (aiming at the case that the SN can not obtain the corresponding relation between the identification of the measurement object of the MN side and the measurement frequency point) which are applicable to the conclusive MG.

In this embodiment of the present invention, in a case where the MN is responsible for configuring a current MG used by the terminal to perform all measurements, the MN may send a first indication to the SN after determining the current MG configuration information, to indicate an SN-side measurement frequency point and/or a measurement pilot type to which each current MG included in the current MG configuration information is applicable, and after receiving the first indication, the SN may determine, according to a correspondence between a measurement object identifier on the SN side and a measurement frequency point (or a measurement pilot type), a measurement object identifier on the SN side to which each current MG included in the current MG configuration information is applicable, and send, by the SN, the determined measurement object identifier on the SN side to which each current MG is applicable to the current MG as indication information to the terminal, where the MN sends only an applicable relationship between each current MG and MN-side measurement to the terminal.

For example, when the MN cannot obtain the correspondence between the measurement object identifier on the SN side and the measurement frequency point, the MN may determine the current MG corresponding to the MN side and/or the SN side measurement, instruct SN to the SN by using the SN side measurement frequency point and/or the measurement pilot type applicable to each current MG, further determine the measurement object identifier on the SN side applicable to each current MG by using the SN according to the instruction, and send the measurement object identifier applicable to each current MG to the terminal.

The following illustrates the configuration method of the measurement gap by using a specific embodiment.

Example 1: in the NR-DC scenario, all the conclusive MG is determined by the MN and signaled to the UE.

In the NR-DC scenario, the MN determines all types of conclusive MG (including per-UE MG pattern, per-FR1 MG pattern, and per-FR2 MG pattern) configured for the UE.

In this embodiment, the MN determines, according to the measurement object configuration on the MN side and the measurement object configuration on the SN side, a conclusive MG to be configured for the UE, and an applicable measurement object (including applicable to the MN side or the SN side) and/or a measurement pilot type, and sends the conclusive MG together with an application range to the UE.

1. Preparation stage

The SN provides assistance information to the MN, which assists the MN in configuring the conclusive MG to the UE. Wherein the auxiliary information includes:

a. Frequency point information: based on this information, MN can determine whether or not to configure MG and what current MG to configure.

b. Optionally, the measurement object identifies: the MN can know the mapping relationship between the frequency point information configured on the SN side and the measurement object identifier according to the information, so that the measurement object identifier configured on the SN side can be directly used when notifying the application range of the UE current MG, without sending the displayed frequency point information.

c. Optionally, a measurement pilot type may also be included.

For example, SN configures 4 MOs (i.e., measurement objects) for UE: the measurement object with the measurement object identifier 1 (marked as MO 1) is configured for the measurement object of the SSB on the NR frequency point f 1; the measurement object identified as 2 (denoted MO 2) is configured for the measurement object for SSB on NR frequency f 2; the measurement object with the measurement object identifier of 3 (marked as MO 3) is configured for the measurement object of the CSI-RS on the NR frequency point f 3; the measurement object identified as 4 (denoted MO 4) is configured for the measurement object for SSB and CSI-RS at NR frequency point f 4. The SN provides the MN with a list of assistance information including the following information:

{NR f1,MO 1,SSB}；

{NR f2,MO 2,SSB}；

{NR f3,MO 3,CSI-RS}；

{NR f4,MO 4,SSB,CSI-RS}。

2. configuration phase

2.1MN determines a current MG configured for the UE.

a. The MN determines the RRM measurement configuration of the MN side configured for the UE.

b. The MN combines the auxiliary information provided by the SN to determine the RRM measurement configuration of the SN side configured by the SN to the UE.

c. The MN determines, according to its algorithm, the conclusive MG to be configured for the UE, and the applicable measurement object (including applicable to the MN side or SN side) and/or the measurement pilot type.

2.2MN sends the configuration of the current MG to the UE. In this configuration of the current MG, besides including the time domain position where the MG appears, the list of measurement objects applicable to the MG, and the measurement pilot type, the configuration further includes: 1) A measurement object identification indicating whether each measurement object identification is an SN side (or whether each measurement object identification is an MN side or an SN side); or 2) carrying an indication of whether or not it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or 3) displaying and carrying the SN side frequency point information and/or the measurement pilot frequency type (aiming at the situation that the MN cannot obtain the corresponding relation between the measurement object identifier of the SN side and the measurement frequency point) applicable to the current MG.

For example, the MN determines to configure two per-FR1 current MG to the UE, wherein one per-FR1 MG (recorded as current MG 1) is applicable to MO2/MO5 at the MN side and is also applicable to MO1/MO2 at the SN side; the other per-FR1 MG (noted as concurrent MG 2) is applicable to MO6/MO7 on the MN side and also to MO3 on the SN side; the MN sends a current MG configuration to the UE including the following indications:

The measurement objects to which the current MG1 is applied are: MO2 at MN side, MO5 at MN side, MO1 at SN side, MO2 at SN side;

the measurement objects to which the current MG2 is applied are: MO6 on MN side, MO7 on MN side, MO3 on SN side.

For example, if the MN determines to configure two per-UE current MG for the UE, and one per-UE MG (denoted as current MG 3) can be applied to all measurements on the SN side that need to measure the gap, the MN sends the following instructions to the UE when the MN sends the configuration of the current MG:

the current MG3 is suitable for SN-side measurement (i.e., only indication is suitable for SN-side measurement, and after receiving the indication, the UE side uses the MG if gap is required to be measured when performing measurement of SN-side configuration).

For example, the MN determines that the UE configures two per-FR1 convergent MG, wherein one per-FR1 MG (recorded as convergent MG 1) is applicable to MO2/MO5 at the MN side, and is also applicable to SSB measurement on NR f1 at the SN side and SSB measurement on NR f2 at the SN side; another per-FR1 MG (denoted as conclusive MG 2) is applicable to MO6/MO7 on the MN side, and when the MN sends a conclusive MG configuration to the UE (corresponding to a scenario where the SN side MO identity is not known), the following instructions are included:

the measurement objects to which the current MG1 is applied are: MO2 on MN side, MO5 on MN side, SSB measurement on SN side NR f1, SSB measurement on SN side NR f 2;

The measurement objects to which the current MG2 is applied are: MO6 at MN side, MO7 at MN side;

or include the following indications:

the measurement objects to which the current MG1 is applied are: MO2, corresponding to MN side; MO5, corresponding to MN side; SSB measurement on NR f 1; SSB measurement on NR f2 (note: here, MN side does not know MO identification of SN side, but displays indication corresponding frequency point and/or pilot frequency type; UE receives frequency point and/or pilot frequency type suitable for the concurrent MG according to the displayed frequency point and/or pilot frequency type, UE executes corresponding measurement by adopting the concurrent MG if the corresponding frequency point and/or pilot frequency type is consistent with the frequency point and/or pilot frequency type suitable for the concurrent MG when executing SN side measurement.

2.3UE determines, based on the configuration of the current MG received from the MN side, which current MG is applicable to the measurement configuration of the MN side configuration (further, which measurement object identifications of the MN side are applicable), which current MG is applicable to the measurement configuration of the SN side configuration (further, which measurement object identifications of the SN side are applicable). Examples corresponding to the above:

for example, based on the received configuration of the current MG1 and the current MG2, the UE uses the current MG1 when measuring the MO2 on the SN side, uses the current MG2 when measuring the MO3 on the SN side, and uses the current MG1 when measuring the MO2 on the MN side.

For example, based on the received configuration of the current MG3, when the UE measures MO2 on the SN side, if the UE needs to measure gap, the UE uses the current MG3;

for example, based on the received configuration of the conclusive MG1, the UE uses the conclusive MG1 when measuring SSB measurement on NR f1 or SSB measurement on NR f2 on the SN side.

2.4MN sends the configuration of the current MG allocated to the UE to the SN, and the SN side temporarily interrupts interaction with the UE at the occurrence position of the current MG based on the received configuration of the current MG.

The above embodiments also apply to NE-DC scenarios.

Example 2: in the NE-DC scenario, MN determines all the convergents MG, but MN and SN notify the UE of the applicable measurement targets, respectively.

In the NE-DC scenario, the MN determines all the conclusive MG (including per-UE MG pattern, per-FR1 MG pattern and per-FR2 MG pattern) configured for the UE.

The difference from embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the MN does not know the correspondence between the measurement configurations on the SN side (i.e., does not know the correspondence between the configured frequency point information and/or the measurement pilot type and the measurement object identification). After determining the current MG configured for the UE, the MN signals the applicable ranges of the current MG (e.g., which measurement object identifiers on the MN side are associated with which measurement object identifiers on the SN side) to the UE by the MN and the SN, respectively.

1. Preparation stage

a. frequency point information.

b. The pilot type is measured.

For example, SN configures 3 MOs for UE: the measurement object with the measurement object identifier of 1 (marked as MO 1) is configured for the measurement object on the LTE frequency point f 1; the measurement object with the measurement object identifier of 2 (marked as MO 2) is configured for the measurement object on the LTE frequency point f 2; the measurement object identified as 3 (MO 3) is configured for the measurement object of SSB at the NR frequency point f 3. The SN provides the MN with a list of assistance information including the following information:

{LTE f1}；

{LTE f2}；

{NR f3,SSB}。

2. configuration phase

2.1MN determines a current MG configured for the UE.

c. The MN determines a Concurrent MG which needs to be configured for the UE, and applicable measurement object identifiers (including applicable to the MN side or the SN side) and/or measurement pilot types according to an algorithm of the MN.

For example, the MN determines to configure two per-UE current MGs for the UE, wherein one per-UE MG (denoted as current MG 4) is applicable to MO2/MO5 on the MN side and is also applicable to measurement on LTE f2 on the SN side; the other per-UE MG (denoted as con MG 5) is applicable to MO6/MO7 on MN side and also to measurement for SSB on NR f3 on SN side.

2.2MN sends the configuration of the current MG to the UE. In the current MG configuration, in addition to including the MG time domain related configuration, measurement objects applicable to which MN sides are further indicated.

For example, when the MN sends a current MG configuration to the UE, the MN includes the following instructions:

the measurement objects to which the current MG4 is applied are: MO2, MO5; one possible way is that the index number corresponding to the current MG4 is 2, and the mn sends MO2 and MO5 to the UE, which are measurement objects applicable to the current MG index number 2.

The measurement objects to which the current MG5 is applied are: MO6, MO7.

2.3MN sends the configuration of the conducing MG to the SN, wherein the measurement frequency point of the SN side suitable for the conducing MG is further indicated, and optionally, the measurement pilot frequency type is further included.

For example, the MN sends a conclusive MG configuration to the SN, and further includes the following instructions:

the measurement objects to which the current MG4 is applied are: LTE f2;

the measurement objects to which the current MG5 is applied are: NR f3, SSB measurements.

2.4SN sends the applicable relation between the current MG and the measuring object of the SN side to the UE based on the current MG configuration information received from the MN.

For example, the SN side configures the UE with a measurement object identifier 3 (denoted as MO 3) on LTE f2, and the configured measurement object identifier 5 (denoted as MO 5) corresponding to SSB measurement on NR f3, the SN sends the following configuration to the UE:

The measurement objects to which the current MG4 is applied are: MO3; one possible way is that the index number corresponding to the current MG4 is 2, and the sn sends to the UE that the measurement object applicable to the current MG index number 2 is MO3.

The measurement objects to which the current MG5 is applied are: MO5.

Meanwhile, the SN side temporarily interrupts interaction with the UE at the occurrence position of the Concurrent MG based on the received Concurrent MG configuration.

2.5UE determines the measurement object identification applicable to the Concurrent MG based on the Concurrent MG configuration received from the MN and/or SN side.

For example, the UE receives a configuration of the current MG from the MN side and an indication in the configuration, and determines that the current MG4 is applicable to MO2 and MO5 on the MN side; the configuration received from SN (the measurement object identifier applicable to the current MG4 is MO3, optionally, the configuration may be associated with the current MG4 with the current MG index number 2 on the MN side according to the index number 2 corresponding to the current MG), so as to determine that the current MG4 is applicable to MO3 on the SN side. The UE uses a current MG4 when measuring MO2 on the MN side, MO5 on the MN side, and MO3 on the SN side.

The above embodiments also apply to NR-DC scenarios.

Example 3: in the (NG) EN-DC scenario, the MN determines the per-UE/per-FR 1's con current MG configuration, the SN determines the per-FR 2's con current MG, and the decision node signals to the UE.

The difference from embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 is that the decision right of the current MG is not completely determined by MN in this embodiment. In (NG) EN-DC scene, when configuring the conclusive MG of per-UE/per-FR1, determining the conclusive MG configured for the UE by the MN, and notifying the UE (carrying applicable MN side and/or SN side measurements); when configuring the con MG of per-FR2, the SN determines the con MG configured for the UE and informs the UE (while carrying applicable MN side and/or SN side measurements).

1. Preparation stage

1.1SN provides assistance information to MN, assisting MN to configure per-UE/per-FR 1's conclusive MG to UE. Wherein the auxiliary information includes:

a. frequency point information.

b. Optionally, the object identification is measured.

c. Optionally, the pilot type is measured.

For example, SN configures 4 MOs for UE: the measurement object with the measurement object identifier 1 (marked as MO 1) is configured for the measurement object of the SSB on the NR frequency point f 1; the measurement object identified as 2 (denoted MO 2) is configured for the measurement object for SSB on NR frequency f 2; the measurement object with the measurement object identifier of 3 (marked as MO 3) is configured for the measurement object of the CSI-RS on the NR frequency point f 3; the measurement object with the measurement object identifier of 4 (marked as MO 4) is configured for the measurement object of the CSI-RS on the NR frequency point f 4; wherein MO1/MO4 is a frequency point belonging to FR2, and MO1 is a measurement corresponding to a service frequency point. The SN provides the MN with a list of auxiliary information, which assists the MN in configuring the per-FR1 current MG, including the following information:

{NR f2,MO 2,SSB}；

{NR f3,MO 3,CSI-RS}。

Another possible implementation manner is that the SN provides an auxiliary information list to the MN, and the auxiliary MN configures the per-UE current MG, including the following information:

{NR f2,MO 2,SSB}；

{NR f3,MO 3,CSI-RS}；

{NR f4,MO 4,CSI-RS}。

1.2MN provides auxiliary information to SN, which configures the UE with the con MG of per-FR 2. Wherein the auxiliary information includes:

a. frequency point information.

b. Optionally, the object identification is measured.

c. Optionally, the pilot type is measured.

For example, MN configures 7 MOs for UE, where the measurement object is identified as a measurement object of 4, which is a measurement object for SSB on NR frequency point f4 (belonging to FR 2); the measurement object with the measurement object identifier 8 is a measurement object for CSI-RS on NR frequency point f5 (belonging to FR 2), and MN provides an auxiliary information list to SN, including the following information:

{NR f4,MO 4,SSB}；

{NR f5,MO 8,CSI-RS}。

2. configuration phase

2.1MN determines a current MG configured for UE and determines an applicable node; the SN determines the current MG configured for the UE and determines the applicable node.

For example, the MN determines a current MG configuring two per-FR1 according to its algorithm. Wherein the current MG6 is suitable for SSB measurement on a measuring object identifier MO1 of the MN, a measuring object identifier MO3 of the MN, and a measuring object identifier MO2 on the SN side; the current MG7 is suitable for CSI-RS measurement of the measurement object identifier MO5 of MN, and the measurement object identifier MO3 on SN side.

For example, the SN determines a current MG configuring two per-FR2 according to its algorithm. Wherein the current MG8 is a measurement object of the applicable side MN (including SSB measurement of MO4, and CSI-RS measurement of MO 8); the current MG9 is applied to the measurement object MO4 on the SN side.

2.2MN sends the determined current MG to the UE. In the configuration of the current MG, besides including the time domain position where the MG appears, the list of measurement objects applicable to the MG, and the measurement pilot type, the configuration further indicates: 1) A measurement object identification indicating whether each measurement object identification is an SN side (or whether each measurement object identification is an MN side or an SN side); or 2) carrying an indication of whether or not it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or 3) displaying and carrying the SN side frequency point information and/or the measurement pilot frequency type (aiming at the situation that the MN cannot obtain the corresponding relation between the measurement object identifier of the SN side and the measurement frequency point) applicable to the current MG.

Corresponding to 1), for example, when the MN sends a current MG configuration to the UE, the method includes the following instructions:

the measurement objects to which the current MG6 is applied are: MO1, corresponding to MN side measurement (i.e., MO1 of MN side as the application object); MO3, corresponding to MN side measurement, pilot being SSB (i.e. SSB measurement on measurement object MO3 with application object MN); MO2, corresponding to SN-side measurement (i.e., measurement object MO2 where the applicable object is SN-side);

The measurement objects to which the current MG7 is applied are: CSI-RS measurements of measurement object MO5 of MN, measurement object MO3 of SN side.

Corresponding to 2), for example, when the MN sends a current MG configuration to the UE, the method includes the following instructions:

the measurement objects to which the current MG6 is applied are: MO1, corresponding to MN side measurement; MO3, corresponding to MN side measurement, pilot frequency is SSB; the SN-side measurement (in this manner, compared with 1) requires further determination by the UE side as to which SN-side measurement objects are applicable.

Corresponding to 3), for example, when the MN sends a current MG configuration to the UE, the method includes the following instructions:

the measurement objects to which the current MG6 is applied are: MO1, corresponding to MN side measurement; MO3, corresponding to MN side measurement, pilot frequency is SSB; NR f2 frequency point (MN displays frequency point applicable to configuration because MN can not obtain correspondence between the measured object identifier of SN side and measured frequency point).

The 2.3SN sends the decided current MG to the UE. In the configuration of the current MG, besides including the time domain position where the MG appears, the list of measurement objects applicable to the MG, and the measurement pilot type, the configuration further indicates: 1) A measurement object identification indicating whether each measurement object identification is an SN side (or whether each measurement object identification is an MN side or an SN side); or 2) carrying an indication of whether or not it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or 3) displaying and carrying MN side frequency point information and/or measurement pilot frequency type (aiming at the case that the SN can not obtain the corresponding relation between the measured object identifier and the measured frequency point of the MN side) applicable to the current MG.

For example, corresponding to 1), the SN sends a current MG configuration to the UE, including the following instructions:

the measurement objects to which the current MG8 is applied are: SSB measurement of MO4 at MN side, CSI-RS measurement of MO8 at MN side;

the measurement objects to which the current MG9 is applied are: SN-side measurement object MO4.

For example, corresponding to 2), the SN sends a current MG configuration to the UE, including the following instructions:

the applicable measurements for the current MG8 are: compared with 1), the measuring method of the MN side needs to be further judged by the UE side, for example, when the UE side measures the FR2 frequency point and the gap is required to be measured, the method uses a current MG8, and bit cost can be further saved;

For example, corresponding to 3), the SN sends a current MG configuration to the UE, including the following instructions:

the measurement objects to which the current MG8 is applied are: NR f4, SSB measurement (because SN can not obtain the corresponding relation between the measured object identifier at MN side and the measured frequency point, SN displays the frequency point and/or corresponding pilot frequency suitable for configuration, after UE receives the configuration, it can determine that the Concurrent MG8 is suitable for measuring SSB measurement on the NR f4 frequency point based on the displayed configuration, and corresponding to the Concurrent MG8 is used for measuring SSB measurement on the NR f4 frequency point at SN side.

2.4UE determines the measurement range for which the conducing MG is applicable based on the conducing MG configuration received from MN and/or SN side.

For example, based on the configuration of the current MG6 received from the MN side, it is determined that the measurement object to which the current MG6 is applicable is: MO1 at MN, SSB measurement on MO3, MO2 at SN; the UE uses the current MG6 when measuring MO1 on the MN side, and the UE uses the current MG6 when measuring MO2 on the SN side.

For example, based on the configuration of the current MG8 received from the SN side, it is determined that the current MG8 is applicable only to measurements on FR2 of the MN side configuration. When the UE measures measurements on FR2 configured on the MN side, if the measurement of gap is required, the UE uses the current MG8.

And 2.5MN sends the configuration of the current MG allocated to the UE to the SN, and the SN side temporarily interrupts interaction with the UE at the occurrence position of the current MG based on the received configuration of the current MG.

Optionally, the MN sends the maximum number of current MGs configurable by the UE to the SN, to assist the SN in configuring the current MGs that do not exceed the UE capability.

Example 4: in (NG) EN-DC scenario, MN determines the configuration of the current MG applicable to MN side measurement, SN determines the current MG applicable to SN side measurement, and decision nodes respectively notify the UE of the configuration of the current MG through signaling.

In this embodiment, after determining the current MG configured for the UE, the MN and the SN send only the current MG to the UE, and instead of sending the applicable relation between the current MG and the MN side measurement and/or the SN side measurement, the UE determines the applicable range of the current MG according to which network node the current MG receives from.

1. Configuration phase

The MN determines a current MG configured for the UE and determines an applicable node; the SN determines the current MG configured for the UE and determines the applicable node.

For example, the MN determines, according to its algorithm, a current MG6 configuring one per-UE, and the current MG6 is applicable to all measurements on the MN side.

For example, SN determines a current MG8 configuring one per-FR2 according to its algorithm, and the current MG8 is applicable to all measurements on the SN side.

2. The MN transmits the determined current MG to the UE.

3. The SN transmits the decided current MG to the UE.

4. The UE determines a measurement range applicable to the Concurrent MG based on the Concurrent MG configuration received from the MN and/or SN side.

For example, based on the configuration of the current MG6 received from the MN side, it is determined that the current MG6 is applicable to all measurements on the MN side, and the UE uses the current MG6 when performing the measurements on the MN side.

For example, based on the configuration of the current MG8 received from the SN side, it is determined that the current MG8 is suitable for all measurements on the SN side, and the UE uses the current MG8 when performing the measurements on the SN side.
