Fig. 2 is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating a method of transmitting and receiving information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method of transmitting and receiving information, the method including:

in step S2101, the network apparatus 102 transmits first information to the terminal 101.

In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate association information of at least one measurement interval with at least one measurement object.

In some embodiments, the first information may be indication information.

In some embodiments, the network device 102 may send the first information via radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) information.

In some embodiments, the measurement object may be at least one of the following according to the kind or class of the measurement object:

Measurement of Multi-universal subscriber identity module (Multi-Universal Subscriber Identity Module, multi-SIM or MUSIM) scenarios;

measurement of Non-terrestrial network (Non-Terrestrial Networks, NTN) scenarios;

layer one (Layer 1, L1) measurements of neighbor cells;

positioning (positioning) measurements.

Optionally, the terminal 101 supports the above-described functions, such as a MUSIM function, an NTN function, a neighbor cell L1 measurement function, and a positioning measurement function.

Alternatively, the measurement process of the above-described measurement object needs to use a corresponding measurement interval based on the functions supported by the terminal 101.

In some embodiments, the classification is performed according to the function of the terminal 101 or the above-mentioned kind of the measurement object, and the measurement interval may include one of the following:

the MUSIM measures the corresponding measurement interval (MUSIM gap);

NTN measurement corresponding to measurement interval (NTN gap);

the neighbor cell L1 measures a corresponding measurement interval (neighbor cell L1 gap);

positioning measurement corresponds to a measurement interval (positioning gap).

Optionally, in the measurement of the MUSIM scenario, the terminal 101 needs to break the connection with the first network NW a, and perform the measurement of the second network NW a according to the MUSIM gap configured by the network device 102.

Alternatively, in the measurement of the NTN scenario, the terminal 101 may perform measurement of the NTN neighbor according to the NTN gap configured by the network device 102.

Alternatively, in the scenario of positioning measurement, the terminal 101 may measure the positioning reference signal according to a positioning gap configured by the network device 102.

In some embodiments, categorized according to configuration, the measurement interval may include one of:

the measurement intervals may include coexistence measurement intervals (concurrent measurement gap);

pre-configuring a measurement interval (Pre-configured Measurement Gap, pre-MG);

network controlled small measurement intervals (Network Controlled Small Gap, NCSG).

In some embodiments, categorized according to application scope, the measurement interval may include one of:

measurement intervals (per UE MG) applicable to terminal 101;

a measurement interval suitable for frequency range 1 (FR 1);

the method is suitable for the measurement interval of FR 2.

In some examples, the manner in which the network device 102 transmits the first information may include a variety of manners, such as a first implementation of step S2101' and a second implementation of step S2101″ described below.

In the first embodiment, step S2101 may include the following step S2101', in particular:

in step S2101', the network device 102 transmits the first configuration information to the terminal 101.

Alternatively, the first configuration information may be measurement interval configuration information (MeasGapConfig).

Optionally, the first configuration information includes or is used to configure the first measurement interval.

In some embodiments, the first information includes a first field for indicating an identification of the first measurement interval and a second field for indicating a measurement object corresponding to the first measurement interval.

Optionally, the first information is included in first configuration information for configuring the first measurement interval, such as adding a second field to the measurement interval configuration information.

Alternatively, the network device 102 may send the first configuration information through an RRC message.

Optionally, the first field multiplexes an original field in the first configuration information, such as a measurement gap ID (MeasGap ID) used for configuring the first measurement gap.

Optionally, the first configuration information may further configure a time-frequency parameter of the first measurement interval, for example, configure at least one of the following time-domain parameters of the first measurement interval:

repetition period (Measurement Gap Repetition Period, MGRP);

length (Measurement Gap Length, MGL);

a start offset (gapOffset);

timing advance (Measurement Gap Timing Advance, MGTA).

Among them, the MGRP can take values of 20ms,40ms,80ms and 160ms in NR. The MGL may take values of 1.5ms,3ms,3.5ms,4ms,5.5ms and 6ms.

Optionally, a measurement interval pattern configuration or measurement interval pattern configuration (measurement gap pattern configuration) may also be indicated in the first configuration information by explicit or implicit means. For example, in the manner of display, the first configuration information includes a measurement interval pattern identification (measurement gap pattern ID); in an implicit manner, the first configuration information includes at least one of MGRP and MGL.

Wherein the measurement interval pattern is used to define various combinations of MGRP and MGL to cover various measurement scenarios. For example, the protocol defines 24 measurement interval patterns, i.e. 24 combinations of MGRP and MGL.

It will be appreciated that the correspondence or association of the first measurement interval with the measurement object may also indicate the correspondence or association of the measurement interval pattern with the measurement object.

In a first example, the second field includes at least one measurement object having a boolean value of the first value.

In this example, the second field may include a boolean value corresponding to at least one measurement object, where the measurement object corresponding to the first measurement interval is: the boolean value is the object of measurement of the first value.

In this example, the first value may be true.

In this example, a true is assigned to the measurement object corresponding to the first measurement interval through the second field. For example, in an information element (MeasGapConfig information element) of the first configuration information, such as measurement interval configuration information, the second field may be represented as:

gapAssociationNTN ENUMERATED{true}

gapAssociationMUSIM ENUMERATED{true}；

gapAssociationPositioning ENUMERATED{true}；

gapAssociationL1Meas ENUMERATED{true}；

the boolean values corresponding to the parameter items of the measurement of the NTN scene of the four measurement objects, the measurement of the MUSIM scene, the positioning measurement and the L1 measurement of the neighbor cell are true, which indicates that the first measurement interval corresponds to or is associated with the four measurement objects.

In this example, the measurement object parameter item that does not correspond to or correlate with the first measurement interval may be assigned a false in the first information or may not be configured in the second field.

In a second example, the second field includes a set of enumerated types of measurement objects corresponding to the first measurement interval.

For example, in the IE of the first configuration information, the second field may be represented as:

gapAssociation ENUMERATED{NTN}；or

gapAssociation ENUMERATED{NTN,L1Meas}；or

gapAssociation ENUMERATED{NTN,MUSIM,Positioning,L1Meas}；

the measurement object represented by NTN in the enumeration type set is the measurement of NTN scene, the measurement object represented by L1Meas is the L1 measurement of the neighbor cell, the measurement object represented by MUSIM is the measurement of MUSIM scene, and the measurement object represented by Positioning is the Positioning measurement. The second field may be understood as { NTN }, or { NTN, L1Meas }, or { NTN, musi, positioning, L1Meas }, of the measurement object corresponding to the first measurement interval.

In a third example, the second field includes an identification of a measurement object corresponding to the first measurement interval.

The identification of the measurement object included in the measurement interval configuration information, that is, the identification of the measurement object corresponding to the measurement interval in the measurement interval configuration information. For example, of the four measurement objects described above, the identity of the measurement of the MUSIM scene is denoted as measobjectid_musim, the identity of the measurement of the NTN scene is denoted as measobjectid_ntn, and the identity of the L1 measurement of the neighbor cell is denoted as CSI-SSB-resource_l1meas. It can be appreciated that L1 measurements of neighbor cells such a measurement object is identified with a reference signal resource set.
