Or the wireless communication system may be a next generation 5G system. The access network in a 5G system can be called a next-generation radio access network (NG-RAN).

[0038] The base station 120 may be an eNB adopted in a 4G system. Or, base station 120 may be a base station (gNB) with a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system. When base station 120 uses a centralized distributed architecture, base station 120 typically includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DU). The packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, radio link control (RLC) layer, and media access control (MAC) layer protocol stacks are configured in the CU; the physical layer (PHY) protocol stack is configured in the DU.

[0043] Several base stations 120 are connected to the network management device 130, respectively. Network management device 130 may be a core network device in a wireless communication system, for example, network management device 130 may be a mobility management entity (MME) in an advanced packet core (EPC) network.

[0044] For a better understanding, the technical solution described in any embodiment of the present disclosure, first, scheduling measurement intervals when the UE performs measurement, is described below.

[0045] In one embodiment, the measurement gap may be performed using a radio resource control (RRC) configuration or RRC reconfiguration. The Bandwidth Part (BWP) switching mode can be performed using one of an RRC configuration, an RRC reconfiguration, a downlink control information (DCI) configuration, or a timer. Thus, when the activated BWP of the UE switches, if the BWP switches via DCI or timer, the network always assumes that the measurement gap is measurable, so that when the UE switches, the reference signal can be measured based on the measurement gap. However, if the network always assumes that the measurement gap is measurable, this may result in a loss of network and terminal throughput.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the activated BWP of the UE at time T0 is equal to BWP 1, wherein the UE does not need a measurement gap when the UE is in a measurement target cell 1, and the UE needs a measurement gap when the UE is in a measurement target cell 2 or a target cell measurement 3. When an activated BWP UE switches to BWP2, the UE does not need a measurement gap when the UE is in a measurement target cell 3, and the UE needs a measurement gap when the UE is in a measurement target cell 1 or a measurement target cell 2. Thus, on In practice, when the activated BWP of the UE switches, it switches to different BWPs, and the determination of whether the measurement object corresponding to the BWP needs a measurement gap may not be the same. If the network always configures the measurement gap on each BWP, then the measurement efficiency and UE throughput are significantly reduced.

[0047] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that each embodiment of the embodiments in the present disclosure may be implemented separately or may be implemented in conjunction with any embodiment of the embodiments in the present disclosure, which is not limited in scope. embodiments in the present disclosure.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 3, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for processing a preliminary configuration of a measurement gap is provided, the method being executed by the UE and including step S31.

[0049] In step S31, measurement gap indication information is received. The measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE requires a measurement gap on the configured BWP.

[0050] In one embodiment, the UE may be various mobile or fixed terminals. For example, the UE may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a computer, a server, a wearable device, a game control platform, a multimedia device, or the like.

[0051] A method for processing a measurement gap preliminary configuration is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and includes: receiving measurement gap indication information sent by a base station. The measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE requires a measurement gap on the configured BWP.

[0052] In one embodiment, the base station may be various types of base stations, for example, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station, or other advanced base stations.

[0053] In one embodiment, the configured BWP for the UE may be a BWP that can be switched to when the UE performs a BWP switch. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the configured BWP may be BWP2.

[0054] In one embodiment, the number of configured BWPs for a UE may be one or more. For example, there may be 4 configured BWPs, namely BWP 1, BWP 2, BWP 3 and BWP 4, respectively. The configured BWP herein may include an activated BWP of the UE before the UE performs a BWP switch; or may not enable the UE's activated BWP before the UE performs a BWP switch.

[0055] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is at least configured to indicate whether a measurement gap is configured on a configured BWP for the UE. Thus, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can know in advance whether a measurement gap is configured on a configured BWP through the measurement gap indication information received by the UE.

[0056] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is at least configured to indicate whether the measurement gap should be activated on a configured BWP for the UE. Thus, in embodiments of the present disclosure, information about which BWPs have the measurement gap activated and/or which BWPs are not activated in the configured BWP for the UE can be known due to the measurement gap indication information received by the UE. The BWP measurement gap can be activated before the BWP switching, which can further improve the measurement efficiency.

[0057] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether a measurement gap is configured on the configured BWP for the UE and whether the measurement gap should be activated on the configured BWP for the UE. Thus, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration of the measurement gap on the configured BWP for the UE and the activation of the measurement gap can be implemented simultaneously, which improves the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0058] In one embodiment, the measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE requires a measurement gap on all configured BWPs. For example, the configured BWPs for the UE include: BWP 1, BWP 2, BWP 3 and BWP 4. The measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether a measurement gap is required on BWP 1, BWP 2, BWP 3 and BWP 4. Thus, In embodiments of the present disclosure, the question of whether a measurement gap is required on all configured BWPs for the UE can be decided based on the measurement gap indication information made by the base station.

[0059] In other embodiments, the measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE requires a measurement gap on at least a portion of the configured BWPs. For example, configured BWPs for the UE include: BWP 1, BWP 2, BWP 3, and BWP 4. The measurement gap indication information is configured to at least indicate whether a measurement gap is required on BWP 1, or the measurement gap indication information is configured to at least indicate whether a measurement gap is necessary on BWP 1, BWP 2, and BWP 3. Thus, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the question of whether a measurement gap is necessary on at least a portion of the configured BWPs for the UE can be decided on based on the measurement gap indication information made by the base station.

[0060] In other embodiments, the measurement gap indication information may be configured to pre-indicate whether the UE needs a measurement gap on the configured BWP.

[0061] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement gap indication information can be obtained by the UE, and the measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement gap on the configured BWP. In this way, the UE can know in advance whether the measurement gap on the configured BWP is necessary for the UE, and the UE does not need to search and determine whether the measurement gap on the configured BWP is needed at the last moment, which improves the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0062] Additionally, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE may know whether it needs a measurement gap on the configured BWP, such that when the UE switches to the configured BWP, the UE may or may not use the measurement gap on the BWP based on the indication activation information measurement gap or information about deactivating the measurement gap indication, which improves the measurement efficiency and throughput of the UE during measurement.

[0063] A measurement gap preconfiguration processing method is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and includes: receiving measurement gap indication information. The measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE requires a measurement gap for all measurement objects on the configured BWP.

[0064] In one embodiment, one or more measurement objects are located on one BWP. The object of measurement in this case can be the measurement medium.

[0065] Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, whether the UE needs a measurement gap for all measurement objects on each BWP can be determined by receiving the measurement gap indication information sent by the base station.

[0066] A method for processing a preliminary measurement gap configuration is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and includes: receiving measurement gap indication information. The measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE requires measurement gaps for a portion of the measurement objects on the configured BWP.

[0067] Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, whether the UE needs a measurement gap for a portion of measurement objects on each BWP can be determined by receiving measurement gap indication information sent by the base station.

[0068] In some embodiments, the measurement gap indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0069] measurement gap indication activation information configured to indicate at least one measurement object for which the UE requires a measurement gap on the configured BWP; or

[0070] measurement gap indication deactivation information configured to indicate at least one measurement object for which the UE does not require a measurement gap on the configured BWP.

[0071] In some other embodiments, the measurement gap indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0072] measurement gap indication activation information configured to activate the measurement gap of the measurement object on the configured BWP for the UE.

[0073] measurement gap indication deactivation information configured to deactivate the measurement gap of the measurement object on the configured BWP for the UE.

[0074] A method for processing a preliminary measurement gap configuration is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and may include: receiving information about the activation of a measurement gap indication. Measurement gap indication activation information configured to indicate at least one measurement object for which the UE requires a measurement gap on the configured BWP.

[0075] A method for processing a preliminary configuration of a measurement gap is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and includes: receiving information about activation of a measurement gap indication. Measurement gap indication activation information configured to activate the measurement gap of the measurement object on the configured BWP for the UE.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to activate a measurement gap on a configured BWP for a UE, it is necessary to configure a measurement gap for a measurement object on the configured BWP for the UE. Thus, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a measurement gap can be first configured for a measurement object on a configured BWP for the UE, and the measurement gap of a measurement object is activated, so that the measurement gap of a measurement object can be activated in advance, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0077] Receiving information about the activation of the measurement gap indication in this case may be: receiving information about the activation of the measurement gap indication sent by the base station.

[0078] The measurement gap indication activation information herein may be configured to indicate at least one measurement object for which the UE requires a measurement gap in all or part of the measurement objects on the configured BWP.

[0079] A measurement gap preliminary configuration processing method is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is executed by the UE and includes: receiving measurement gap indication deactivation information, the measurement gap indication deactivation information is configured to indicate at least one measurement object, for which the UE does not require a measurement gap on the configured BWP.

[0080] A method for processing a preliminary configuration of a measurement gap is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and includes: receiving information about deactivating a measurement gap indication. Measurement gap indication deactivation information configured to deactivate the measurement gap of the measurement object on the configured BWP for the UE.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to deactivate a measurement gap on a configured BWP for a UE, it is necessary to configure a measurement gap for a measurement object on the configured BWP for the UE. Thus, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement gap can be first configured for a measurement object on the configured BWP for the UE, and the measurement gap of the measurement object is deactivated, so that the measurement gap of the measurement object can be deactivated in advance, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the UE.

[0082] Receiving the measurement gap indication deactivation information in this case may be: receiving the measurement gap indication deactivation information sent by the base station.

[0083] The measurement gap indication deactivation information herein may be configured to indicate at least one measurement object for which the UE does not require a measurement gap in all or part of the measurement objects on the configured BWP.

[0084] For example, there may be 4 BWPs, namely BWP 1, BWP 2, BWP 3 and BWP 4, respectively. In each of the four target objects, there are q measurement objects, where the i-th measurement object can be represented by MO_i and the j-th measurement object can be represented by MO_j, where i and j are both less than q.

[0085] For example, the measurement gap indication activation information may be configured to indicate a measurement object for which a measurement gap is configured in the measurement objects in the four BWPs. In another example, the measurement gap indication deactivation information may be configured to indicate a measurement object for which no measurement gap is configured in the measurement objects in the four BWPs. For example, the measurement gap indication activation information is configured to indicate the i-th measurement object for which the measurement gap is configured. The measurement gap indication deactivation information may be configured to indicate the jth measurement object for which the measurement gap is not configured.

[0086] In another example, measurement gap indication activation information configured to activate measurement gaps of measurement objects in four BWPs. Information about the deactivation of the measurement indication, configured to deactivate the measurement intervals of the measurement objects in the four BWPs. For example, activation={Mo_i} is configured to activate the measurement gap of the i-th measurement object, such that the measurement gap is required when the i-th measurement object is measured. In another example, deactivation={Mo_j} is configured to deactivate the measurement gap of the jth measurement object so that the measurement gap is not necessary when the jth measurement object is measured. Each of the values i, j and q in this case is an integer greater than 0.

[0087] In the above examples, each BWP may not necessarily have q measurement objects, and the measurement objects in each BWP may be the same or different. For example, BWP 1 could have g measurement objects, BWP 2 could have q measurement objects, BWP 3 could have z measurement objects, and BWP 4 could have q measurement objects. Here, each of g, q and z is an integer greater than or equal to i, and each of g, q and z is an integer greater than or equal to j.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement gap indication activation information may be configured to indicate a measurement object for which a measurement gap is configured, and/or activate a measurement gap of the measurement object; and/or the measurement gap indication deactivation information may be configured to indicate a measurement object for which a measurement gap is not configured and/or deactivate the measurement gap of the measurement object.

[0089] In one embodiment, one measurement object includes one measurement medium. For example, the measurement gap indication information is configured to indicate at least one measurement medium for which the UE requires a measurement gap on the configured BWP. As another example, the measurement gap indication deactivation information is configured to indicate at least one measurement medium for which the UE does not require a measurement gap on the configured BWP.

[0090] A method for processing a preliminary measurement gap configuration is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and may include: determining whether the UE needs a measurement gap on a configured BWP based on the measurement gap indication information.

[0091] A method for processing a preliminary configuration of a measurement gap is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and may include: determining at least one measurement object for which the UE requires a measurement gap on a configured BWP based on the gap indication activation information measurements.

[0092] A method for processing a preliminary measurement gap configuration is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and may include: determining at least one measurement object for which the UE does not require a measurement gap on the configured BWP based on the indication deactivation information measurement interval.

[0093] In one embodiment, the measurement performed by the UE includes, but is not limited to, at least one of an RRM measurement or a mobility measurement. The mobility measurement in this case includes the SSB measurement and/or the CSI-RS measurement.

[0094] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE can determine whether the UE needs a measurement gap on a configured BWP based on the measurement gap indication information. More specifically, based on the measurement gap indication activation information, a measurement object for which the UE requires a measurement gap on the configured BWP for the UE can be determined, and/or the measurement gap indication of the measurement object is activated, and/or based on the measurement gap indication deactivation information, can a measurement object for which the UE does not require a measurement gap on the configured BWP for the UE is defined, and/or the measurement gap of the measurement object is deactivated.

[0095] Thus, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the UE may know in advance whether a measurement gap is required for all measurement objects on a configured BWP for the UE (i.e., include a measurement object for which a measurement gap is or is not required to be configured on a configured BWP for the UE, and activate or deactivate the measurement span of the measurement object configured for the UE). Thus, when the UE switches to a configured BWP, the UE may or may not use a measurement gap for a measurement object on the configured BWP based on the measurement gap indication activation information or the measurement gap indication deactivation information. That is, the UE can measure a measurement object for which the measurement gap is activated based on the measurement gap, and measure a measurement object for which the measurement gap is deactivated without taking into account the measurement gap. In this way, the measurement efficiency of the UE and the throughput of the UE can also be improved.

[0096] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the method presented in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed alone, and may also be performed in conjunction with other methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or with certain methods in the relevant field technology.

[00105] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may receive measurement gap indication information before switching the activated BWP of the UE. The UE can know whether a measurement span is configured for a measurement object on a configured BWP for the UE and whether to activate a measurement span of a measurement target on a configured BWP for the UE, so that the UE does not need to determine whether a measurement span is configured for a measurement object on the BWP and whether to activate a measurement span at the last moment, thereby improving the UE's measurement efficiency.

[00106] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the method presented in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed alone, and may also be performed in conjunction with other methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or with certain methods in the relevant field technology.

[00107] A method for processing a measurement gap preconfiguration is provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method is performed by the UE and includes: receiving RRC layer signaling. The measurement gap indication information is conveyed in RRC level signaling.

[00108] In one embodiment, the RRC layer signaling may be sent once. For example, an RRC layer signaling is sent, wherein the measurement gap indication information transmitted in the RRC layer signaling is configured to indicate whether the UE needs a measurement gap on the configured BWP and whether the measurement gap on the configured BWP should be activated for the UE.
