The method for processing the state of the preconfigured MG provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

In the dual connectivity (Dual Connectivity, DC) scenario, how two network nodes, namely a Master Node (MN) and a Secondary Node (SN), respectively indicate the Pre-configured measurement interval (Pre-configured MG) state of the terminal, how the terminal determines according to the indication of the two network nodes, and how to interact between the two network nodes and between the terminal and the network are all problems to be solved, otherwise unnecessary transmission interruption or data transmission loss may be caused. For example, if all activated and deactivated secondary cells (scells) of the primary cell group (Master Cell Group, MCG), and the deactivated secondary cell group (Secondary Cell Group, SCG) or the deactivated primary secondary cells (PSCell) and all deactivated scells are capable of covering the frequency domain resources of the reference signal to be measured, the terminal may actually perform data transmission and measurement on the MCG at the same time, without using the interval (gap), and at this time, if the gap is also activated, unnecessary transmission interruption may be caused, which affects the transmission performance of the terminal. For another example, if the mutual information of the nodes between the MN and the SN is opaque, it may cause inconsistent understanding of whether the MN, the SN, and the terminal (UE) activate the gap, if the MN or the SN considers that the gap is not activated and transmits data to the terminal, and the terminal considers that the gap is activated and does not monitor downlink scheduling, thereby causing data transmission failure and loss.

To solve the above-mentioned technical problem, as shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a method 200 for processing a state of a preconfigured MG, which may be performed by a terminal, in other words, by software or hardware installed in the terminal, and the method includes the following steps.

In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the state of the preconfigured MG according to an indication or a predefined rule of the network side device, e.g. in a DC scenario, in case the SCG is a deactivated state, the terminal determines the state of the preconfigured MG according to the network side device indication or the predefined rule (e.g. a rule agreed by a protocol), which state of the preconfigured MG comprises activation or deactivation.

In one embodiment, the terminal may also report the state of the preconfigured MG to the MN and/or SN; the state of the pre-configured MG may be determined autonomously by the terminal or may be indicated by other devices. For example, in a DC scenario, in case the SCG is in a deactivated state, the terminal reports the state of the preconfigured MG to the MN and/or SN; for another example, in a DC scenario, in case the SCG is in an active state, the terminal reports the state of the preconfigured MG to the MN and/or SN.

It can be understood that after the terminal reports the state of the pre-configured MG to the network side device (MN and/or SN), if the state of the pre-configured MG is active, the network side device may not perform resource allocation and/or transmission in the pre-configured MG; if the state of the pre-configured MG is deactivated, the network side device can perform resource allocation and/or transmission in the pre-configured MG, so that data transmission failure and loss are avoided, and communication performance is improved.

In order to describe the state processing method of the preconfigured MG provided in the embodiment of the present application in detail, the following description will be made with reference to several specific embodiments.

Example 1

In this embodiment, when the SCG is deactivated, the MN or SN configures a Pre-configured (Pre-configured) MG for each terminal (per-UE) for the terminal (UE), and the UE determines a Pre-configured MG state according to configuration instructions of the MN and SN, and the embodiment includes the steps of:

step 1: the UE receives a gap state configuration indication for each cell in the MN or the UE receives a gap state configuration indication (e.g., gapConfig) for each cell in the SN forwarded from the MN, including at least one of:

1) The MN indicates the state of the Pre-configured MG corresponding to all active cells in the MCG. For example, the MCG currently active cell is SCell1, and the MN configuration indicates that when SCell1 is active, its value is 1, at which point the activated SCell1 may be considered to be gap-required or a state called Pre-configured MG is active; at a value of 0, the activated SCell1 may be considered to be gap-free or a state called Pre-configured MG is deactivated.

2) Indicating the states of the Pre-configured MG corresponding to MCG and SCG deactivation SCell. For example, the MCG deactivation cell includes SCell2, and the configuration of the MN indicates that when SCell2 is deactivated, its gap value is 1, indicating that SCell2 needs gap, or that the state called Pre-configured MG is active; SCG is the same.

3) Indicating the state of the Pre-configured MG corresponding to the SCG. For example, indicated by the following parameters: deactivatedMeasGapLisWhile SCGDeactivated if this value is 1, it indicates that the SCG requires gap, or a state called Pre-configured MG, is active.

4) When the PSCell is in a deactivated state, the state of the Pre-configured MG corresponding to the PSCell is indicated. For example, when PSCell is active, there is no such indication; when the PSCell is deactivated, if its gap value is 1, it indicates that the PSCell needs a gap, or the state called Pre-configured MG is active.

5) Indicating the state of the Pre-configured MG corresponding to each BWP under each active cell under the MCG. For example, the MCG currently activated cell is SCell1, the gap state of Downlink BWP (BWP-Downlink) in MN RRC signaling is 1, and the rest is 0, indicating that gap is needed when the UE is operating in BWP1, or the state called Pre-configured MG is activated; the state that works on the remaining BWP is gap-free, or called Pre-configured MG, is deactivated.

Step 2: the UE judges whether the state of the Pre-configured MG is activated or not, and if the conditions 1) to 3) are all satisfied, the UE judges that the state of the Pre-configured MG is deactivated/OFF/not needed; otherwise, the UE judges the state of the Pre-configured MG as active/ON/required:

1) The state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to the current activated BWP of all activated cells in the MCG is deactivated or the state of the preconfigured MG corresponding to all activated cells is deactivated.

2) The state of the gap or Pre-configured MG is deactivated without requiring all deactivated scells on the MCG.

step 1: the UE receives a gap state configuration indication for each cell of the MN and SN.

Step 2: in a DC scenario (e.g. NR-DC), the UE is now operating on a certain active SCell under MCG, e.g. SCell1 under MCG, respectively.

Step 3: the MN and/or SN activates a certain SCell through the MAC CE, e.g. SCell2 under MCG.

Step 4: the UE judges whether the state of the Pre-configured MG is activated or not, and if the following conditions are met, the UE judges that the state of the Pre-configured MG is deactivated/OFF/not needed; otherwise, the UE judges the state of the Pre-configured MG as active/ON/required:

1) The activated SCell does not require that the state of the gap or Pre-configured MG be deactivated. For example, SCell2 under MCG is activated at this time, and the MN configures the gap state value of the activated cell to be 0 in the indication.

2) No state of the gap or Pre-configured MG is required for the deactivated SCell at the rest of MCG, all gap values are 0.

3) The state of the deactivated SCG that does not require gap or Pre-configured MG is deactivated, or the state of the PSCell that does not require gap or Pre-configured MG is deactivated and all remaining deactivated SCELs that do not require gap or Pre-configured MG are deactivated, the gap value is 0.

Step 3: the MN or/and SN has transmitted the DCI indication or based on the MAC CE, the UE performs a BWP switching operation of the MN or/and SN, e.g., BWP1 of Scell1 under MCG is switched to BWP2.

1) The activated SCell switched BWP does not require a gap or a state of Pre-configured MG is deactivated, e.g. BWP1 of SCell1 under MN is switched to BWP2, and UE determines that the switched BWP does not require a gap/Pre-configured MG is deactivated according to the gap state of BWP-Downlink in MN RRC signaling being 0.

2) The state of the SCell deactivated under the rest of MCG does not require a gap/Pre-configured MG to be deactivated, and all gap values are 0.
