Background

Currently, measurement Gap (MG) configuration and reconfiguration in an NR (New Radio) system are indicated by RRC (Radio Resource Control ) signaling; specifically, for the behavior triggered by RRC signaling to change MG state, the network may perform MG reconfiguration through the same RRC message. However, for MAC (Medium Access Control ), DCI (Downlink Control Information, downlink control information) or timer (timer) triggered actions to change MG state, additional RRC signaling is required to perform MG reconfiguration, resulting in longer measurement delay.

The following first describes what the scheme provided in the embodiments of the present application relates to.

Currently, NR systems support three configurations of measurement GAPs: per (each) -UE (terminal) measure GAP (i.e., MG of terminal granularity), per-FR (frequency band) 1 measure GAP (i.e., MG of FR1 granularity), and per-FR2 measure GAP (i.e., MG of FR2 granularity). Wherein, per-FR1 measurement GAP is the measurement interval applied to FR1 (Frequency Range 1, 450MHz-6000 MHz), per-FR2 measurement GAP is the measurement interval applied to FR2 (Frequency Range 2, 24250MHz-52600 MHz), and Per-UE GAP is the measurement interval simultaneously applied to FR1 and FR 2.

In the NR system, the network performs measurement GAP configuration and reconfiguration through an RRC reconfiguration (reconfiguration) procedure, as shown in fig. 2, and configures a measurement object and a corresponding measurement GAP for the UE through a RRC Reconfiguration message.

In addition, whether or not the RRM (radio resource management) measurement in NR needs to measure GAP is related to UE capability, reference signal configuration, and active (active) BWP (Bandwidth part) configuration, and thus, there is a possibility that a change in the requirement of the measurement GAP may be caused by an increase (or release) of a new measurement object, scell (secondary cell), or a handover of BWP. For example, when a BWP handover based on DCI indication occurs, if the UE measurement does not need to measure GAPs before the handover, but SSB (Synchronization Signal Block ) bandwidth cannot be covered by active BWP after the BWP handover, i.e., the UE measurement needs to measure GAPs, then the network needs to configure the needed measurement GAPs to the UE through RRC reconfiguration message to perform subsequent measurement, which causes additional measurement delay; taking BWP handover as an example, the related flow may be shown in fig. 3, where the GAP reconfiguration process in steps 4 and 5 may result in an extended measurement time. Specifically, the process shown in fig. 3 includes the following steps:

network side:

1) The measurement resources are configured. The network may configure the measurement object to the UE through RRC signaling.

2) Configuration measurement GAP. The network may configure the UE with measurement GAPs through RRC signaling, including measurement GAP patterns (MG patterns), offsets, and the like.

3) A BWP switch is indicated. The network may instruct the UE to perform BWP handover through RRC signaling or DCI or timer timing.

4) GAP configuration or reconfiguration is performed through RRC signaling. After the UE completes the BWP handover, if a new measurement GAP request or a measurement GAP pattern change, the network configures or re-configures new measurement GAP parameters to the UE through RRC re-configuration signaling, and if the BWP handover results in no need of measurement GAP any more, the network releases the measurement GAP parameters through RRC signaling.

Terminal side:

1. and obtaining the measurement resource configuration. The UE reads the measurement object configuration by parsing RRC signaling.

2. The measurement GAP configuration is obtained. The UE acquires the measurement GAP configuration including MG pattern and offset by parsing RRC signaling.

3. GAP-based measurements are performed. The UE performs the application or release of the measurement GAP according to the currently specified signaling procedure.

4. BWP switching is performed. The UE completes the BWP handover according to the network indication.

5. And obtaining the reconfigured GAP configuration. When the UE completes BWP handover and receives RRC reconfiguration signaling, the reconfigured measured GAP parameters are read.

6. Measurements based on the reassortment GAP were performed. The UE performs application release of the measurement GAP according to the reconfiguration parameters and the signaling procedure specified at present.

From the above, for DCI, MAC CE (control element) or timer triggered events, if the measurement GAP requirement is changed, the measurement GAP needs to be configured through RRC reconfiguration message, which adds additional delay.

Based on the above, the embodiments of the present application provide an information processing method, an apparatus, a terminal, and a network device, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that a configuration scheme for MG state change causes an increase in measurement delay. The method, the device, the terminal and the network device are based on the same application conception, and because the method, the device, the terminal and the network device have similar principles for solving the problems, the implementation of the method, the device, the terminal and the network device can be mutually referred to, and the repetition is omitted.

MR-DC includes dual connectivity such as NR-DC, EN (i.e., LTE+NR) -DC, etc.

The scheme provided by the embodiment of the application relates to two sides of a network and a terminal, and is specifically as follows:

the network side involves the following operations:

1. the network side may configure a measurement object (corresponding to the target measurement object) and a preconfigured measurement GAP for the UE through an RRC reconfiguration message (corresponding to the measurement reconfiguration information), and determine an initial state (i.e., activated or deactivated; corresponding to the state of the preconfigured MG) of the preconfigured measurement GAP according to a current active BWP configuration (corresponding to the target activated BWP). See operations 3 and 4 below for specific ways of judgment; in addition, one carrier corresponds to one currently operating BWP (i.e., current active BWP).

a) The pre-configured measurement GAP pattern may be selected from the currently defined MG patterns, which are not limited herein; the MG pattern refers to parameters such as the MG length and the MG repetition period (corresponding to the above-mentioned mode parameter information), and may also refer to the MG identification, which is not limited herein.

b) For MR-DC scenarios, optionally, pre-configured measurement GAP information (i.e., synchronized pre-configured measurement GAP information) may be interacted between a Master Node (MN) and a Secondary Node (SN).

2. When the network instructs the UE to perform an event (including, but not limited to, the following events a to e; corresponding to the first event described above) that is likely to change the measurement object (MO, measurement object) or the active BWP, the network may determine that the state of the preconfigured GAP (i.e., the preconfigured measurement GAP) corresponding to the target measurement object is an activated state or a deactivated state according to the rules in operations 3 and 4 described below.

a) BWP switching on one or more carriers;

b) MO (Measurement Object ) increase or release;

c) PScell (Primary Scell) or Scell (Secondary Cell) is added or released; i.e. PScell increase or release, or SCell increase or release;

d) SCell activation or deactivation;

e) LPP (LTE Positioning Protocol ) positioning request. LPP may be applicable to LTE and NR, not limited herein.

3. For a single carrier scenario:

a) The (corresponding) preconfigured measurement GAP is active if at least one of the following conditions is met.

1) The configured measurement object (corresponding to the target measurement object) has inter-frequency CSI-RS (Channel-State Information Reference Signal, channel state information reference signal) measurement;

2) Different system measurements are carried out in the configured measurement objects;

3) PRS (Positioning Reference Signal, positioning measurement signal) measurement is carried out in the configured measurement object;

4) Only SSB measurements are performed in the configured measurement object, and SSB bandwidth exceeds corresponding active BWP (corresponding to the SSB bandwidth being unable to be covered by the target active BWP).

b) The (corresponding) preconfigured measurement GAP is in a deactivated state if at least one of the following conditions is met.

1) Only the same-frequency CSI-RS measurement is carried out in the configured measurement object;

2) Only SSB measurement is performed in the configured measurement object, and SSB bandwidth is included in the corresponding active BWP (corresponding to the SSB bandwidth being included in the corresponding target active BWP);

3) Only SSB measurement and common-frequency CSI-RS measurement are carried out in the configured measurement objects, and SSB bandwidths are contained in corresponding active BWPs.

4. For CA and MR-DC scenarios, the pre-configured measured GAP state on each carrier is determined according to the rules in operation 3 above, and then the following operations are performed:

a) For per-UE GAPs (corresponding to the case where the target state is the state of a preconfigured MG of terminal granularity);

1) If all the preconfigured GAPs on all the carriers are in a deactivated state (corresponding to the situation that the states of the preconfigured MGs corresponding to all the carriers are in a deactivated state), the per-UE GAPs are in a deactivated state.

2) If the preconfigured GAP on any carrier is in an active state (corresponding to the situation that the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to any carrier is in an active state), the per-UE GAP is in an active state.

b) For per-FR1 GAP (corresponding to the case where the target state is the state of the preconfigured MG of the band granularity, the target band is FR 1);

1) If all the preconfigured GAPs on all the FR1 carriers are in the deactivated state (corresponding to the case that the states of the preconfigured MGs corresponding to all the carriers are in the deactivated state), the per-FR1 GAP is in the deactivated state.

2) If the preconfigured GAP on any FR1 carrier is in an active state (corresponding to the case where the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to any carrier is in an active state), the per-FR1 GAP is in an active state.

c) For per-FR2 GAP (corresponding to the case where the target state is the state of the preconfigured MG of the band granularity, the target band is FR 2);

1) If all the preconfigured GAPs on all the FR2 carriers are in a deactivated state (corresponding to the case that the states of the preconfigured MGs corresponding to all the carriers are in a deactivated state), the per-FR2 GAP is in a deactivated state.

2) If the preconfigured GAP on any FR2 carrier is in an active state (corresponding to the case that the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to any carrier is in an active state), the per-FR2 GAP is in an active state.

5. For MR-DC scenarios;

a) Optionally, the synchronization of measurement related information by the Master Node (MN) and the Secondary Node (SN) includes: pre-configuring GAP information, MO adding (or releasing) configuration information, scell adding (or releasing or activating or deactivating) interaction of configuration information;

6. According to the judging results of the operation 3 and the operation 4, if the pre-configured GAP is in an activated state, the network does not schedule the UE any more at the position of the GAP, and the network is reserved for the UE to measure. If the preconfigured GAP is in a deactivated state, the network normally schedules the UE.

The terminal side involves the following operations:

the ue may acquire a measurement object (corresponding to the target measurement object) and preconfigured measurement GAP information by receiving an RRC reconfiguration message (corresponding to the measurement reconfiguration information) and decide (i.e., determine) an initial state (i.e., activate or deactivate; corresponding to the state of the preconfigured MG) of the preconfigured measurement GAP according to an active BWP (corresponding to the target activated BWP) currently in operation. See operations 3 and 4 below for specific ways of judgment; in addition, one carrier corresponds to one currently operating BWP (i.e., current active BWP).

In addition, MG patterns can be obtained; the MG pattern refers to parameters such as the MG length and the MG repetition period (corresponding to the above-mentioned mode parameter information), and may also refer to the MG identification, which is not limited herein.

2. When the UE performs an event (including, but not limited to, the following events a to e; corresponding to the first event described above) that is likely to change the measurement object or the active BWP, the state of the preconfigured measurement GAP (corresponding to the target measurement object) may be decided as an activated state or a deactivated state according to rules in operations 3 and 4 described below, based on the measurement object configuration and the active BWP configuration after the event is completed.

a) BWP switching on one or more carriers;

b) MO (measurement object ) increase or release;

c) PScell or SCell addition or release; i.e. PScell increase or release, or SCell increase or release;

d) SCell activation or deactivation;

e) LPP location request.

3. For single carrier scenarios;

a) The UE activates the (corresponding) preconfigured measurement GAP if at least one of the following conditions is met, i.e. the (corresponding) preconfigured measurement GAP is in an active state.

1) The configured measurement object (corresponding to the target measurement object) has inter-frequency CSI-RS measurement;

2) PRS measurement is carried out in the configured measurement object;

3) Different system measurements are carried out in the configured measurement objects;

b) The UE deactivates the (corresponding) preconfigured measurement GAP if at least one of the following conditions is met, i.e. the (corresponding) preconfigured measurement GAP is in a deactivated state.

4. For CA and MR-DC scenarios, the preconfigured measured GAP state on each carrier is determined according to the rules in operation 3 above, and then the following operations are performed:

1) If all the pre-configured measurement GAPs on all the carriers are deactivated (corresponding to the case where the state of the pre-configured MG corresponding to all the carriers is the deactivated state), the per-UE GAP is deactivated.

2) If the pre-configured measurement GAP on any carrier is activated (corresponding to the case where the state of the pre-configured MG corresponding to any carrier is active), the per-UE GAP is activated.

1) If all the preconfigured measurement GAPs on all the FR1 carriers are deactivated (corresponding to the case where the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to all the carriers is deactivated), the per-FR1 GAP is deactivated.

2) If the preconfigured measurement GAP on any FR1 carrier is activated (corresponding to the case where the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to any carrier is active), the per-FR1 GAP is activated.

1) If all the preconfigured measurement GAPs on all the FR2 carriers are deactivated (corresponding to the case where the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to all the carriers is deactivated), the per-FR2 GAP is deactivated.

2) If a preconfigured GAP on any FR2 carrier is activated (corresponding to the case where the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to any carrier is an active state), the per-FR2 GAP is activated.

5. According to the decision results of the operation 3 and the operation 4, if the preconfigured measurement GAP is in an active state, the UE does not perform data communication at the position of the GAP, and only performs measurement. If the pre-configured GAP is in a deactivated state, the UE communicates normally and performs measurements that do not require GAPs.

The following specifically exemplifies the schemes provided in the embodiments of the present application.

Example 1: pre-configured per-UE GAP activated or deactivated triggered by Scell activation in NR CA scene;

a pre-configuration stage:

1) The network side configures the measurement object information (corresponding to the target measurement object) to the UE through the RRC reconfiguration message.

For example, the UE operates on three carriers, f1, f2 and f3, and the network configures one measurement object on each carrier: measurement object 1 (denoted MO 1) is a measurement of SSB on f1, and SSB bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP; the measurement object (MO 2) is the measurement of SSB on carrier f2, and SSB bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP; measurement object 3 (denoted MO 3) is a measurement for CSI-RS on carrier f3 (CSI-RS bandwidth is smaller than the corresponding active BWP).

2) The network side configures the preconfigured GAP information to the UE through the RRC reconfiguration message and judges the initial state.

For example, MN pre-configures per-UE GAP (gap#1, mgl (length of measurement interval) =6ms, mgrp (repetition period of measurement interval) =80ms) to UE; since only SSB measurements and CSI-RS measurements are currently available and SSB bandwidth is less than active BWP, the network determines that the preconfigured GAPs on each carrier are in a deactivated state, so the per-UE GAP initial state is deactivated.

3) The network instructs the UE to perform the Scell activation procedure.

For example, the network sends Scell activation signaling to the UE at time n, activates Scell of carrier f4, the measurement object (MO 4) on the carrier is SSB measurement for f4, and the active BWP bandwidth corresponding to the activated carrier is smaller than SSB bandwidth.

Activation or deactivation phase:

1) The UE receives the measurement object (corresponding to the target measurement object described above) and the preconfigured measurement GAP information, and determines the preconfigured measurement GAP initial state (i.e., the activated state or the deactivated state).

The UE receives the configuration information of the measurement objects MO1, MO2 and MO3, and since the bandwidth of the measurement object on each carrier is smaller than the active BWP (corresponding to each carrier, respectively), the UE determines that the preconfigured measurement GAP on each carrier is in a deactivated state, so that the initial state of the preconfigured per-UE GAP is deactivated, and the UE currently performs measurement without GAP.

2) The UE completes the Scell activation procedure.

For example, the UE receives the Scell activation signaling sent by the network at time n, activates the Scell of carrier f4, and completes the Scell activation process according to the signaling.

3) The UE determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After completing Scell activation, the UE determines that the preconfigured GAP needs to be activated on the carrier according to SSB configuration on f4 and corresponding active BWP configuration after activation (one active BWP configuration corresponding to activation when f4 is activated); according to the preconfigured GAP state judgment criterion, for the per-UE GAP, the per-UE GAP is activated as long as the preconfigured GAP on any carrier is in an activated state. Thus, after Scell activation, the preconfigured GAP (gap#1) is activated, and the subsequent UE does not transmit data in the GAP occalasion corresponding to gap#1, and only performs measurement.

4) The network determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After the network instructs the UE to perform Scell activation, according to the measurement object information on the activated Scell configured by the network and the corresponding active BWP information, it is determined that the SSB bandwidth on f4 exceeds the active BWP, so that the preconfigured GAP needs to be activated (i.e., the GAP #1 is activated) (i.e., the preconfigured GAP is in an activated state); the subsequent network no longer schedules the UE within the gap occalation corresponding to gap # 1.

Example 2: pre-configured per-UE GAP activation or deactivation triggered by MO addition in NR-DC (dual connectivity) scenarios;

A pre-configuration stage:

For example, MN configures two measurement objects to UE, measurement object 1 (denoted MO 1) is measurement for SSB at NR FR1 frequency point f1, and SSB bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP; the measurement object (marked as MO 2) is a measurement for SSB on NR FR2 frequency point f2, and SSB bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP; SN configures the UE with a measurement object, measurement object 3 (denoted MO 3) is a measurement for CSI-RS at NR FR1 frequency point f3 (CSI-RS bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP).

2) The network side configures the preconfigured GAP information to the UE through the RRC reconfiguration message.

For example, MN pre-configures per-UE GAP (gap#1, mgl=6ms, mgrp=80 ms) to UE, and determines that the pre-configured GAP on each carrier is in a deactivated state because there are currently only SSB measurement and CSI-RS measurement, and SSB bandwidth and CSI-RS bandwidth are smaller than the respective corresponding active BWP, so the per-UE GAP initial state is deactivated. Since the per-UE GAP configuration and activation is controlled by the MN, the SN provides the MN with a list of assistance information, which may include the following information (related to: frequency point + measurement object information):

{NR f3,MO 3,CSI-RS}。

3) The network side instructs the UE to perform MO addition.

For example, SN sends an MO addition command to UE at time n, adding measurement object 4 (denoted MO 4), MO4 is measurement for SSB and CSI-RS at NR FR2 frequency point f4, and SSB bandwidth exceeds corresponding active BWP; the SN provides MO addition information to the MN, including the following:

{NR f4,MO 4,SSB,CSI-RS}。

activation or deactivation phase:

1) And the UE receives the MO addition signaling.

For example, the UE receives the MO addition signaling of SN at time n, adds a measurement object 4 (denoted as MO 4), where MO4 is measurement for SSB and CSI-RS on NR FR2 frequency point f4, and SSB bandwidth exceeds corresponding active BWP, and the UE completes the MO addition according to the command.

2) The UE determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After receiving the configuration information of MO4, UE judges that SSB bandwidth on f4 exceeds active BWP on f4, so that a pre-configuration GAP needs to be activated; according to the preconfigured GAP state judgment criterion, for the per-UE GAP, the per-UE GAP is activated as long as the preconfigured GAP on any carrier is in an activated state. Therefore, after MO4 is added, the preconfigured GAP (gap#1) is activated, and the subsequent UE does not transmit data in the GAP occasing corresponding to gap#1, and only performs measurement.

3) The network determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After receiving the configuration information of MO4 provided by SN (i.e., { NR f4, MO4, SSB, csi-RS }) MN determines that the SSB bandwidth on f4 exceeds the corresponding active BWP, so that a preconfigured GAP, that is, gap#1, needs to be activated; the subsequent network (MN and SN) no longer schedules the UE within the gap occalasion corresponding to gap # 1.

In this embodiment, both the MN and the SN may send information directly to the UE, which is not limited herein.

Example 3: pre-configured per-UE GAP activated or deactivated triggered by BWP switch under NR-DC scene;

a pre-configuration stage:

For example, MN configures a measurement object to UE, measurement object 1 (MO 1) is a measurement for SSB at NR FR1 frequency point f1, and SSB bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP; SN configures a measurement object for UE, measurement object 2 (MO 2) is measurement for SSB and CSI-RS on NR FR2 frequency point f2, and SSB bandwidth and CSI-RS bandwidth are respectively smaller than respective corresponding active BWP.

For example, MN pre-configures gap#1 (mgl=6ms, mgrp=80 ms) to UE; and according to the measurement bandwidth and the corresponding active BWP configuration judgment, the initial state of the pre-configured GAP is a deactivated state, and because the configuration and activation of the per-UE GAP are controlled by the MN, the SN provides an auxiliary information list for the MN, wherein the auxiliary information list comprises the following information (related to frequency points and measurement object information):

{NR f2,MO 2,SSB,CSI-RS}。

3) The network side instructs the UE to perform BWP handover.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, the MN sends a BWP switch command to the UE at time n, switching the active BWP on f1 to a smaller bandwidth, which is smaller than the SSB bandwidth of MO 1.

Activation or deactivation phase:

1) The UE receives BWP handover signaling.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, the UE receives the active BWP switching signaling at time n, switches the active BWP on f1 to a smaller bandwidth, and completes BWP switching according to the signaling, and the SSB bandwidth after switching exceeds the new active BWP bandwidth. Specifically, in fig. 6, active BWP starts switching from time n, and completes switching at time m.

2) The UE determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After the UE completes BWP handover, determining the preconfigured GAP state on each carrier, and since the SSB bandwidth on f1 exceeds the new active BWP, the preconfigured GAP needs to be activated; according to the preconfigured GAP state judgment criterion, for the per-UE GAP, the per-UE GAP is activated as long as the preconfigured GAP on any carrier is in an activated state. Therefore, as shown in fig. 6, after the BWP handover, the preconfigured GAP (gap#1) is activated, and the subsequent UE does not transmit data in the GAP occasin corresponding to the gap#1, and only performs measurement. Gap#1 in fig. 6 is a periodic GAP.

3) The network determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After the MN issues a BWP switch command and the UE switches to a new BWP, the network (MN) determines that the SSB bandwidth on f1 exceeds the new active BWP, and thus it is necessary to activate the preconfigured GAP, that is, GAP #1. The subsequent network (MN and SN) no longer schedules the UE within the gap occalasion corresponding to gap #1.

Example 4: preconfigured per-FR1 and per-FR2 GAPs in EN (i.e. lte+nr) -DC scenarios are activated or deactivated;

a pre-configuration stage:

For example, MN configures two measurement objects to UE, measurement object 1 (denoted MO 1) is measurement for SSB on NR FR1 frequency point f1, and SSB bandwidth exceeds corresponding active BWP; the measurement object (marked as MO 2) is a measurement for SSB on NR FR2 frequency point f2, and SSB bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP; SN configures two measurement objects for UE, and measurement object 3 (MO 3) is measurement for CSI-RS at NR FR1 frequency point f3 (CSI-RS bandwidth is smaller than corresponding active BWP); the measurement object 4 (MO 4) is a measurement for SSB and CSI-RS at the NR FR2 frequency point f4, and SSB bandwidth and CSI-RS bandwidth exceed respective corresponding active BWP.

For example, MN pre-configures per-FR1 GAP, i.e., gap#0 (mgl=6ms, mgrp=40ms) to UE, and gap#0 is currently in active state due to MO configuration on f 1; SN pre-configures per-FR2GAP, i.e., gap#13 (mgl=5.5 ms, mgrp=40 ms) to the UE, and gap#13 is currently in active state due to MO configuration on f 4; since the configuration and activation of the per-FR1 GAP and the per-FR2GAP are controlled by the MN and the SN, respectively, the MN and the SN need to mutually interact with the auxiliary information list including the following information (related to: frequency point+measurement object information):

MN provides SN: { NR f2, MO2, SSB };

SN provides MN: { NR f3, MO3, CSI-RS };

3) The network side instructs the UE to perform BWP handover.

For example, the MN sends a BWP switch command to the UE at time n, switches the active BWP on f1 to a larger bandwidth, so as to cover the SSB bandwidth of MO1, and the SN sends a BWP switch command to the UE at time n, switches the active BWP on f4 to a larger bandwidth, so as to cover the SSB bandwidth and CSI-RS bandwidth of MO 4.

Activation or deactivation phase:

1) The UE receives BWP handover signaling.

For example, the UE receives the active BWP switching signaling at the time n, switches the active BWP on f1 and f4 to a larger bandwidth, and completes BWP switching according to the signaling, where the SSB bandwidths on f1 and f4 and the CSI-RS bandwidth on f4 after switching are respectively smaller than the respective corresponding active BWP bandwidths.

2) The UE determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After the UE completes BWP handover, the UE determines the preconfigured GAP states on the FR1 and FR2 carriers, respectively.

On the FR1 carrier, the GAP state does not change on f2, there is still no need to measure GAPs, and on f1, since SSB is located in active BWP after BWP handover, there is no need for GAPs, thus preconfigured GAPs are deactivated; according to the preset GAP state judgment criterion, for the per-FR1 GAP, if all the preset GAPs on the FR1 carrier waves are in a deactivated state, the per-FR1 GAP is in a deactivated state. Thus, the preconfigured GAP (gap#0) is deactivated, the UE communicates normally within the occalation where gap#0 is located and performs measurements that do not require GAPs.

On the FR2 carrier, no change in GAP state on f3 is still required, no GAP is required, and on f4, since SSB is located in active BWP after BWP handover, no GAP is required, thus preconfigured GAP is deactivated; according to the preset GAP state judgment criterion, for the per-FR2 GAP, if all the preset GAPs on the FR2 carriers are in a deactivated state, the per-FR2 GAP is in a deactivated state. Thus, the preconfigured GAP (gap#13) is deactivated, the UE communicates normally within the occalation where gap#13 is located and performs measurements that do not require GAPs.

3) The network determines the preconfigured GAP state.

After the network issues a BWP switch command and the UE switches to a new BWP, the MN and SN determine the preconfigured GAP states on the FR1 and FR2 carriers, respectively (specifically, the MN determines the preconfigured GAP state on the FR1 carrier and the SN determines the preconfigured GAP state on the FR2 carrier). Optionally, the MN and SN need to interact active BWP information or pre-configure status information of the measurement GAP.

According to the same judgment criteria as the UE, the network (MN and SN) judges that both the pre-configured per-FR1 GAP (gap#0) and the pre-configured per-FR2 GAP (gap#13) are deactivated (specifically, MN judges that the pre-configured per-FR1 GAP (gap#0) is deactivated, SN judges that the pre-configured per-FR2 GAP (gap#13) is deactivated), and the network (MN and SN) normally schedules the UE within the occalasion where the gap#0 and gap#13 are located.

Similar matters between the above examples are referred to each other, and are not repeated herein.
