技术领域Technical field
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种测量间隙的配置方法及装置。The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and device for configuring a measurement gap.
背景技术Background technique
在移动通信系统中,测量是一个普遍而重要的过程。例如,当终端处于空闲态时,终端通过测量服务小区和邻小区的信号质量,确定是否向邻区重选;又例如,当终端处于连接态时,终端通过测量服务小区和邻小区的信号质量,并向网络设备进行上报,网络设备根据终端上报的各个小区的测量值,决定并触发终端向邻小区切换。处于连接态的终端,在实现对异频或异系统的邻小区的测量时,可能会需要配置测量间隙(measurement gap)。在配置的测量间隙内,终端接收异频或异系统的邻小区的信号,完成测量的过程。网络设备一般会给终端配置测量间隙的参数,例如测量间隙的长度,测量间隙的周期等。测量间隙的长度不能过长,典型值为6毫秒。In mobile communication systems, measurement is a common and important process. For example, when the terminal is in the idle state, the terminal determines whether to reselect to the neighboring cell by measuring the signal quality of the serving cell and neighboring cells; for another example, when the terminal is in the connected state, the terminal measures the signal quality of the serving cell and neighboring cells. , And report to the network device, and the network device determines and triggers the terminal to switch to the neighboring cell according to the measurement value of each cell reported by the terminal. A terminal in a connected state may need to configure a measurement gap when implementing measurements on neighboring cells of different frequencies or different systems. In the configured measurement gap, the terminal receives signals from neighboring cells of different frequencies or systems to complete the measurement process. The network equipment generally configures the parameters of the measurement gap for the terminal, such as the length of the measurement gap, the period of the measurement gap, and so on. The length of the measurement gap cannot be too long, and the typical value is 6 milliseconds.
在现有第五代(5th generation,5G)新无线(new radio,NR)通信系统中,主同步信号(primary synchronization signal,PSS),辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal,SSS),和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel,PBCH)被称为同步信号/广播信号块(synchronization signal/PBCH block,SS/PBCH block)。为描述方便,把SS/PBCH block称为SSB。NR的小区会在一个周期内发送多个SSB,每个SSB覆盖一定区域,每个SSB均在协议定义的SSB候选(candidates)位置进行发送。所有SSB candidates位置位于一个半帧内(5毫秒)。若要终端能够准确测量邻小区的SSB,则SSB的时域位置需要落在配置的测量间隙内。In the existing 5th generation (5G) new radio (NR) communication system, the primary synchronization signal (PSS), the secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the physical broadcast channel (Physical broadcast channel, PBCH) is called synchronization signal/broadcast signal block (synchronization signal/PBCH block, SS/PBCH block). For the convenience of description, the SS/PBCH block is called SSB. The NR cell will send multiple SSBs in one cycle, each SSB covers a certain area, and each SSB is sent at the position of the SSB candidates (candidates) defined by the protocol. All SSB candidates are located within one half frame (5 milliseconds). If the terminal can accurately measure the SSB of the neighboring cell, the time domain position of the SSB needs to fall within the configured measurement gap.
但是,对于不同的小区来说,可能在不同位置的半帧中发送SSB,即,不同小区发送SSB在时域上的位置可能不会对齐。这种情况下,终端在测量间隙内可能无法测量到所有邻小区的SSB,进而无法正确实现重选或切换。However, for different cells, the SSB may be sent in half-frames at different positions, that is, the positions of the SSB sent by different cells in the time domain may not be aligned. In this case, the terminal may not be able to measure the SSBs of all neighboring cells within the measurement gap, and thus may not be able to correctly implement reselection or handover.
发明内容Summary of the invention
本申请实施例提供一种测量间隙的配置方法及装置,以期解决终端在测量间隙内可能无法测量到所有邻小区的SSB的问题。The embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for configuring a measurement gap, in order to solve the problem that the terminal may not be able to measure the SSBs of all neighboring cells in the measurement gap.
第一方面,提供一种测量间隙的配置方法,该方法可以通过以下步骤来实现:终端获取配置信息,其中,所述配置信息包括测量间隙的间隔,所述测量间隙的间隔为半帧的M倍,所述终端所在服务小区的邻区发送参考信号的周期为第一周期,所述第一周期为半帧的N倍,所述邻区发送的所有参考信号的候选位置位于所述第一周期的一个半帧内,所述 M与所述N互质,M、N为正整数;所述终端根据所述配置信息,在所述测量间隙内接收来自所述邻区的参考信号。通过配置测量间隙的间隔,终端可以每隔一个间隔测量一次邻区的参考信号,这样,相比现有的在一个测量间隙的周期内只配置一个测量间隙,本申请实施例能够接收到更多邻区的参考信号。由于M与N互质,在经过一定数量的间隔后,总能测量所有小区的参考信号,从而提升对邻区的测量的性能。In a first aspect, a method for configuring a measurement gap is provided. The method can be implemented by the following steps: a terminal obtains configuration information, where the configuration information includes the interval of the measurement gap, and the interval of the measurement gap is M of a half frame. The reference signal transmission period of the neighboring cell of the serving cell where the terminal is located is the first period, the first period is N times the half frame, and the candidate positions of all reference signals sent by the neighboring cell are located in the first period. In one half frame of the cycle, the M and the N are relatively prime, and M and N are positive integers; the terminal receives the reference signal from the neighboring cell in the measurement gap according to the configuration information. By configuring the interval of the measurement gap, the terminal can measure the reference signal of the neighboring cell at every interval. In this way, compared with the existing configuration of only one measurement gap in the period of one measurement gap, the embodiment of the present application can receive more The reference signal of the neighboring cell. Since M and N are relatively prime, after a certain number of intervals, the reference signals of all cells can always be measured, thereby improving the measurement performance of neighboring cells.
其中,终端获取配置信息,可以通过接收来自网络设备的配置信息,也可以获取存储的或预配置的配置信息。Wherein, the terminal obtains the configuration information by receiving the configuration information from the network device, or can obtain the stored or pre-configured configuration information.
可选的,测量间隙用于所述终端测量所述终端所在服务小区的邻区发送的参考信号,终端实际接收邻区发送参考信号的时间可占用测量间隙的时域位置的部分或全部。Optionally, the measurement gap is used for the terminal to measure the reference signal sent by the neighboring cell of the serving cell where the terminal is located, and the time when the terminal actually receives the reference signal sent by the neighboring cell may occupy part or all of the time domain position of the measurement gap.

By setting the number of measurement gaps to not less than N, the reference signals of all neighboring cells can be received within the period of one measurement gap.

In this way, each neighboring area can obtain multiple measurement results, and the multiple measurement results can be combined to improve the measurement accuracy of the neighboring area.
在一个可能的设计中,所述测量间隙的长度不小于半帧的长度与一个参考信号的传输时长之和。这样能够避免在一个测量间隙内接收到不完整的参考信号,例如,一个参考信号的一部分落在上一个测量间隙,另一部分落在下一个测量间隙或者落在非测量间隙,这样终端不能获取完整的参考信号,通过设置测量间隙的长度不小于半帧与一个参考信号传输时间之和,在半帧的基础上增加一个参考信号传输时间,就能够使得终端接收到半帧内传输的整个参考信号块。In a possible design, the length of the measurement gap is not less than the sum of the length of a half frame and the transmission time length of a reference signal. This can avoid receiving an incomplete reference signal in a measurement gap. For example, a part of a reference signal falls in the previous measurement gap, and the other part falls in the next measurement gap or falls in a non-measurement gap, so that the terminal cannot obtain a complete reference signal. For the reference signal, by setting the length of the measurement gap not less than the sum of the half-frame and the transmission time of a reference signal, and adding a reference signal transmission time on the basis of the half-frame, the terminal can receive the entire reference signal block transmitted in the half-frame .

在一些部署中,网络设备可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和(distributed unit,DU)。网络设备还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现网络设备的部分功能,DU实现网络设备的部分功能,比如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令,如RRC层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外,可以将CU划分为接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network,CN)中的网络设备,本申请对此不做限定。In some deployments, the network equipment may include a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU).

首先需要说明一点,本申请实施例中,服务小区向终端发送信号,意思是服务小区所 在的网络设备向终端发送信号。邻小区向终端发送信号,意思是邻小区所在的网络设备向终端发送信号。First of all, it needs to be explained that in the embodiment of this application, the serving cell sends a signal to the terminal, which means that the network device in which the serving cell is located sends a signal to the terminal. The neighboring cell sends a signal to the terminal, which means that the network device where the neighboring cell is located sends a signal to the terminal.
本申请实施例中,终端需要对服务小区相邻的小区进行测量。为方便描述,终端所在服务小区相邻的小区可以称为邻小区或邻区。终端所在的服务小区可以有一个或多个邻区。终端在处于服务小区的边缘时,需要对邻区进行测量,并可能触发重选或小区切换或其他行为。In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal needs to measure a cell adjacent to the serving cell. For ease of description, the cell adjacent to the serving cell where the terminal is located may be referred to as a neighboring cell or a neighboring cell. The serving cell where the terminal is located can have one or more neighboring cells. When the terminal is at the edge of the serving cell, it needs to measure the neighboring cell, and may trigger reselection or cell handover or other behaviors.
终端对邻区的测量时,可能接收来自邻区的参考信号,参考信号的质量可以用于判断是否触发重选或小区切换。例如,终端将邻区的参考信号的质量上报给网络设备,网络设备根据终端上报的内容,判断终端是否需要小区切换。参考信号的质量可以包括以下任意一项或多项:参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)、信噪比SNR、信干噪比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)等。When the terminal measures the neighboring cell, it may receive a reference signal from the neighboring cell, and the quality of the reference signal can be used to determine whether to trigger reselection or cell handover. For example, the terminal reports the quality of the reference signal of the neighboring cell to the network device, and the network device determines whether the terminal needs cell handover according to the content reported by the terminal. The quality of the reference signal may include any one or more of the following: reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-noise ratio (RSRP) signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR), etc.
在NR中,参考信号一般可以是SSB。当然,本申请实施例的方法还可以应用与其他通信系统中,参考信号也可以是其他类型的信号。例如,参考信号也可以是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)。本申请实施例中以参考信号为SSB为例进行介绍,当应用与其他类型的参考信号时,可以将SSB的方案替换为其他类型参考信号的方案。In NR, the reference signal can generally be SSB. Of course, the method of the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to other communication systems, and the reference signal can also be another type of signal. For example, the reference signal may also be a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). In the embodiments of the present application, the reference signal is an SSB as an example for introduction. When applying other types of reference signals, the SSB solution can be replaced with another type of reference signal solution.
在一些场景下,终端需要测量间隙对邻区的参考信号进行测量。例如,当终端的服务小区与邻区是异频/异系统的场景。这种场景下,终端在RRC连接(RRC_CONNECTED)态时,终端需要始终保持有射频通路工作在服务小区所在的频点。如果终端没有额外的射频通路工作在异频/异系统小区的频点上,则无法同时接收服务小区的信号和异频/异系统小区的信号,这时就需要一段时间的测量间隙。在测量间隙内,终端可以停止在服务小区上接收信号,将射频通路调整工作在异频/异系统小区的频点,接收异频/异系统小区的信号,完成对邻区的测量。该应用场景只是一个举例,本申请实施例并不局限于应用到该应用场景下。只要是需要测量间隙的场景均可。In some scenarios, the terminal needs a measurement gap to measure the reference signal of the neighboring cell. For example, when the serving cell of the terminal and the neighboring cell are different frequency/different system scenarios. In this scenario, when the terminal is in the RRC_CONNECTED state, the terminal needs to always maintain a radio frequency channel working at the frequency point where the serving cell is located. If the terminal does not have an additional radio frequency channel to work on the frequency of the inter-frequency/different system cell, it cannot receive the signal of the serving cell and the signal of the inter-frequency/different system cell at the same time, and a measurement gap is required for a period of time. In the measurement gap, the terminal can stop receiving signals on the serving cell, adjust the radio frequency channel to work at the frequency point of the inter-frequency/different system cell, receive the signals of the inter-frequency/different system cell, and complete the measurement of the neighboring cell. This application scenario is only an example, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to being applied to this application scenario. As long as it is a scene where the gap needs to be measured.
一般情况下,邻区在发送参考信号时采用周期性的发送方式。在一个周期内的一段时间内发送参考信号。并且,不同的邻区发送参考信号的时间可能不是对齐的。而终端在测量邻区的参考信号时,只有邻区发送参考信号的时间落在终端的测量间隙内,或者,只有邻区发送参考信号的时间与终端的测量间隙有交集,终端才能接收到邻区的参考信号。但是如上所述,邻区发送参考信号的时间可能不是对齐的,这样,终端可能在测量时隙内不能接收到所有邻区的参考信号,甚至如果测量间隙不能包含任一邻区的参考信号发送区域,则终端可能在测量时隙内不能接收到任何邻区的参考信号。In general, the neighboring cell adopts a periodic sending mode when sending the reference signal. The reference signal is sent for a period of time in a cycle. In addition, the time of sending the reference signal in different neighboring cells may not be aligned. When the terminal measures the reference signal of the neighboring cell, only the time when the neighboring cell sends the reference signal falls within the measurement gap of the terminal, or only when the time when the neighboring cell sends the reference signal and the measurement gap of the terminal intersect, can the terminal receive the neighboring cell. The reference signal of the zone. However, as mentioned above, the time when the neighboring cell sends the reference signal may not be aligned. In this way, the terminal may not receive the reference signal of all neighboring cells in the measurement time slot, even if the measurement gap cannot include the reference signal transmission of any neighboring cell. Area, the terminal may not receive any neighboring cell reference signals in the measurement time slot.
本申请实例中参考信号以SSB为例进行说明。In the example of this application, the reference signal is described by taking SSB as an example.
在时域上,一个SSB包含四个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号。终端通过不同的解调参考符号(demodulation reference symbol,DMRS)序列以及PBCH中传输的索引号(index)共同确定SSB块索引(block index),用于识别不同的SSB。具体的SSB的块索引的确定方法为本领域普通技术人员所熟知,不再赘述。在NR中,同步信号的传输是采用波束扫描的方式进行传输的。网络设备会在一个周期内发送多个SSB,每个SSB覆盖一定区域,每个SSB均在协议定义的SSB候选(candidates)位置进行发送。所有SSB candidates位于一个半帧内(5毫秒),集中在一个半帧内发送的 SSB形成一个SSB簇集合(SSB burst set)。本申请中,SSB candidates位置是指时域的符号位置,以下不再赘述。In the time domain, one SSB contains four orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The terminal jointly determines the SSB block index (block index) through different demodulation reference symbol (DMRS) sequences and the index number (index) transmitted in the PBCH to identify different SSBs. The specific method for determining the block index of the SSB is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and will not be described in detail. In NR, the synchronization signal is transmitted by beam scanning. The network device will send multiple SSBs in one cycle, each SSB covers a certain area, and each SSB is sent at the position of the SSB candidates (candidates) defined by the protocol. All SSB candidates are located in one half frame (5 milliseconds), and the SSBs sent together in one half frame form an SSB burst set (SSB burst set). In this application, the position of the SSB candidates refers to the position of the symbol in the time domain, which will not be described in detail below.
邻区发送的SSB会周期性重复,且周期大小可配置,SSB周期的可能值可以为:5毫秒(millisecond,ms)、10ms、20ms、40ms、80ms或160ms。对于用于终端接入的SSB,周期的典型值为20ms。The SSB sent by the neighboring cell will be repeated periodically, and the period size is configurable. The possible values of the SSB period can be: 5 milliseconds (millisecond, ms), 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, or 160ms. For the SSB used for terminal access, the typical value of the period is 20 ms.
如图2所示,终端所在的服务小区有两个邻小区,为邻小区1和邻小区2。邻小区1和邻小区2的SSB周期均为20ms。邻小区1和邻小区2发送SSB的半帧在时域上的不同位置。终端的测量间隙的周期为40ms。终端的测量间隙只能覆盖邻小区2发送SSB的半帧,并没有覆盖邻小区1发送SSB的半帧,这样,终端在测量间隙内就无法测量到邻小区1的SSB,只能测量到邻小区2的SSB。As shown in Figure 2, the serving cell where the terminal is located has two neighboring cells, neighboring cell 1 and neighboring cell 2. The SSB period of neighboring cell 1 and neighboring cell 2 are both 20ms. Neighboring cell 1 and neighboring cell 2 transmit SSB half-frames at different positions in the time domain. The period of the measurement gap of the terminal is 40 ms. The measurement gap of the terminal can only cover the half-frame where the neighboring cell 2 sends the SSB, and does not cover the half-frame where the neighboring cell 1 sends the SSB. In this way, the terminal cannot measure the SSB of the neighboring cell 1 within the measurement gap, but can only measure the neighboring cell 1's SSB. SSB of cell 2.
下面对本申请实施例提供的测量间隙的配置方法的过程进行详细说明。本申请提供的方法旨在期望保证终端能够测量所有邻区的参考信号,或者使得终端能够尽量测量到更多邻区的参考信号。The process of the method for configuring the measurement gap provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below. The method provided in this application is intended to ensure that the terminal can measure the reference signals of all neighboring cells, or enable the terminal to measure the reference signals of more neighboring cells as much as possible.
如图3所示,本申请实施例提供的测量间隙的配置方法如下所述。As shown in FIG. 3, the method for configuring the measurement gap provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows.
S301、网络设备向终端发送配置信息,终端接收来自网络设备的配置信息。S301. The network device sends configuration information to the terminal, and the terminal receives the configuration information from the network device.
配置信息是用于配置测量间隙的相关参数。这里可以理解为服务小区向终端发送配置信息,终端接收来自服务小区的该配置信息。The configuration information is used to configure the relevant parameters of the measurement gap. It can be understood here that the serving cell sends configuration information to the terminal, and the terminal receives the configuration information from the serving cell.
配置信息中可以包括测量间隙的间隔,该测量间隙的间隔是指,在一次测量后经过该测量间隙的间隔继续下一次的测量。每一次的测量均在测量间隙内发生。The configuration information may include the interval of the measurement gap, and the interval of the measurement gap refers to the interval of the measurement gap after one measurement to continue the next measurement. Every measurement takes place within the measurement gap.
本申请针对测量间隙的间隔(gap-interval)进行设计,通过该设计期望能够使得终端测量到更多邻区的参考信号。假设终端所在服务小区的邻区发送参考信号的周期为第一周期,第一周期为一段时长的N倍,邻区在第一周期内发送参考信号集中在该一段时间内,即在第一周期的除该一段时间之外的其它时间内不会发送参考信号。例如,参考信号为SSB,SSB发送集中在半帧内。第一周期为半帧的N倍。第一周期即SSB周期(ssb-period)。SSB周期=5*N毫秒。SSB周期可以是5ms、10ms、20ms、40ms、80ms或160ms,则N的可选值包括1,2,4,8,16,32。This application is designed for the gap-interval of the measurement gap. Through this design, it is expected that the terminal can measure more neighboring cell reference signals. Assuming that the reference signal transmission cycle of the neighboring cell of the serving cell where the terminal is located is the first cycle, the first cycle is N times the length of a period of time, and the reference signal sent by the neighboring cell in the first cycle is concentrated in the period of time, that is, in the first cycle The reference signal will not be sent for any period other than this period of time. For example, the reference signal is SSB, and SSB transmission is concentrated in a half frame. The first period is N times the field. The first period is the SSB period (ssb-period). SSB cycle = 5*N milliseconds. The SSB period can be 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, or 160ms, and the optional values of N include 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
测量间隙的间隔为半帧的M倍,M与N满足以下关系:M与N互质。按照上述N的取值,可以认为M为奇数且M大于1。举例来说,M的取值可以包括:3、5、7、9、11……。即测量间隙的间隔的可选值包括{15ms,25ms,35ms,45ms,55ms…}。The interval of the measurement gap is M times the half-frame, and M and N satisfy the following relationship: M and N are relatively prime. According to the above-mentioned value of N, it can be considered that M is an odd number and M is greater than 1. For example, the value of M may include: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.... That is, the optional values of the interval of the measurement gap include {15ms, 25ms, 35ms, 45ms, 55ms...}.
S302、终端根据配置信息,接收来自邻区的参考信号。S302: The terminal receives the reference signal from the neighboring cell according to the configuration information.
终端根据配置信息,每隔一个“间隔”进行一次测量,该“间隔”为测量间隙的间隔。终端在每一次测量时,在测量间隙内接收邻区的参考信号。终端可能在不同次测量过程中,接收来自不同邻区的参考信号。The terminal performs a measurement every other "interval" according to the configuration information, and the "interval" is the interval of the measurement gap. In each measurement, the terminal receives the reference signal of the neighboring cell in the measurement gap. The terminal may receive reference signals from different neighboring cells during different measurements.
由于M与N互质,在经过一定数量的间隔后,总能测量所有小区的参考信号。假设终端所在服务小区的邻小区有4个,这4个邻区的SSB周期均为20ms,一个20ms的SSB周期内可以包括4个半帧,即N=4。假设邻区A在第一个半帧上发送SSB,邻区B在第二个半帧上发送SSB,邻区C在第三个半帧上发送SSB,邻区D在第四个半帧上发送SSB。则终端最少能够在4个间隔后测量所有4个邻区的SSB。Since M and N are relatively prime, after a certain number of intervals, the reference signals of all cells can always be measured. Assuming that there are 4 neighboring cells of the serving cell where the terminal is located, the SSB period of these 4 neighboring cells are all 20ms, and a 20ms SSB period may include 4 half frames, that is, N=4. Suppose that neighboring cell A sends SSB in the first half frame, neighboring cell B sends SSB in the second half frame, neighboring cell C sends SSB in the third half frame, and neighboring cell D is in the fourth half frame. Send SSB. Then the terminal can measure the SSB of all 4 neighboring cells at least after 4 intervals.
下面继续对本申请实施例一些可选的实现方式进行说明。The following continues to describe some optional implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application.
配置信息中还可以包括测量间隙的周期(gap-period)。测量间隙的周期也可以称为测 量周期。终端周期性地对邻区的参考信号进行接收,或者说终端周期性地对邻区的参考信号进行测量。在一个测量周期内,按照测量间隙的间隔,对邻区的参考信号进行一次或多次测量。具体测量几次,可选的,配置信息中还可以设置测量间隙的个数(gap-num)。例如,测量间隙的个数为G,则在一个测量间隙的周期内,终端按照测量间隙的间隔,对邻区的参考信号进行G次测量。每两次测量之间相邻该测量间隙的间隔。每一次测量在测量间隙内发送。The configuration information may also include the period of the measurement gap (gap-period). The period of the measurement gap can also be referred to as the measurement period. The terminal periodically receives the reference signal of the neighboring cell, or the terminal periodically measures the reference signal of the neighboring cell. In a measurement period, according to the interval of the measurement gap, the reference signal of the neighboring cell is measured one or more times. The specific measurement times, optionally, the number of measurement gaps (gap-num) can be set in the configuration information. For example, if the number of measurement gaps is G, in a period of a measurement gap, the terminal performs G measurements on the reference signal of the neighboring cell according to the interval of the measurement gap. The interval between adjacent measurement gaps between every two measurements. Each measurement is sent in the measurement gap.
因为一个参考信号的周期内包括N个半帧,在一个参考信号周期内,最多可有N个邻区发送参考信号的位置两两不同。若想保证终端能够在一个测量间隙的周期内接收所有邻区的参考信号,则可以设置测量间隙的个数不小于N。当然,本申请实施例可以设置测量间隙的个数大于1即可,这样相比于一个测量时隙的周期内只有一个测量间隙来说,也能够测量更多邻区的参考信号。Because a reference signal period includes N half-frames, in a reference signal period, at most N neighboring cells can transmit reference signals at different positions. If you want to ensure that the terminal can receive the reference signals of all neighboring cells within the period of one measurement gap, you can set the number of measurement gaps to not less than N. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of measurement gaps may be set to be greater than 1, so that compared to only one measurement gap in the period of one measurement time slot, more reference signals of neighboring cells can be measured.
终端在测量间隙内实际接收参考信号的时长可以小于或等于该测量间隙。也就是说,终端在测量间隙内可以占用整个测量间隙接收参考信号,也可以占用测量间隙的一部分时间来接收参考信号。The duration during which the terminal actually receives the reference signal in the measurement gap may be less than or equal to the measurement gap. That is to say, the terminal may occupy the entire measurement gap to receive the reference signal in the measurement gap, or may occupy a part of the time of the measurement gap to receive the reference signal.
终端在测量间隙内实际接收邻区参考信号的时长不小于半帧与参考信号传输时间之和。例如,一个SSB传输时间为4个OFDM符号(4sym),4个OFDM符号占用1ms,则终端在测量间隙内实际接收邻区参考信号的时长不小于6ms。假设终端在测量间隙内占用整个测量间隙接收参考信号,则可以认为测量间隙的时长不小于半帧与参考信号传输时间之和。The time period for the terminal to actually receive the reference signal of the neighboring cell in the measurement gap is not less than the sum of the half frame and the transmission time of the reference signal. For example, if the transmission time of one SSB is 4 OFDM symbols (4sym), and the 4 OFDM symbols occupy 1ms, the terminal actually receives the neighboring cell reference signal in the measurement gap for no less than 6ms. Assuming that the terminal occupies the entire measurement gap to receive the reference signal in the measurement gap, it can be considered that the duration of the measurement gap is not less than the sum of the half frame and the reference signal transmission time.
可以理解,本申请实施例中一个测量间隙的周期需要不小于测量间隙的间隔与测量间隙的个数的乘积。即gap-period>=gap-interval*gap-num。It can be understood that the period of one measurement gap in the embodiment of the present application needs to be no less than the product of the interval of the measurement gap and the number of measurement gaps. That is, gap-period>=gap-interval*gap-num.
本申请实施例中,终端在一个测量间隙的周期内,测量一个频点的信号,该频点上可以有一个或多个邻小区发送参考信号。该频点可以是与服务小区所在的频点相同或不同。一般情况下,当邻小区频点与服务小区频点不同时,才会需要测量间隙的配置。但是本申请实施例不作限定。In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal measures a signal of a frequency point in a period of a measurement gap, and one or more neighboring cells may send reference signals on the frequency point. The frequency point may be the same or different from the frequency point where the serving cell is located. Generally, when the frequency of the neighboring cell is different from the frequency of the serving cell, the configuration of the measurement gap is required. However, the embodiments of this application are not limited.
在S302之后,还包括S303。After S302, S303 is also included.
S303、终端还可以向网络设备上报接收到的参考信号的测量结果,比如参考信号的RSRP、RSRQ、或信干燥比等结果。网络设备接收来自终端上报的参考信号的测量结果。S303: The terminal may also report the measurement result of the received reference signal, such as the result of RSRP, RSRQ, or signal to dryness ratio of the reference signal, to the network device. The network device receives the measurement result of the reference signal reported by the terminal.
测量结果能够体现邻小区的信号质量。网络设备可以根据接收到的参考信号的测量结果进行后续处理,例如网络设备判断是否触发终端的小区切换。The measurement result can reflect the signal quality of neighboring cells. The network device may perform subsequent processing according to the measurement result of the received reference signal, for example, the network device determines whether to trigger a cell handover of the terminal.
在一个可能的设计中,在S303之后,还可能包括S304。In a possible design, after S303, S304 may also be included.
S304、网络设备可以根据接收到的测量结果,对测量间隙的配置进行更新。网络设备向终端发送更新的配置信息,终端接收来自网络设备的更新的配置信息,终端按照更新的配置信息接收邻区的参考信号。S304. The network device may update the configuration of the measurement gap according to the received measurement result. The network device sends updated configuration information to the terminal, the terminal receives the updated configuration information from the network device, and the terminal receives the reference signal of the neighboring cell according to the updated configuration information.
更新配置信息可能是对配置信息中的任一或多个参数进行更新。例如更新测量间隙的间隔,更新测量间隙的长度,或更新测量间隙的个数等。这样,网络设备根据终端上报的邻区的测量结果,可以对配置信息进行更新,终端按照更新的配置信息测量,能够更加有效和更加节能。例如,如图4所示,在图3所示步骤的基础上,体现出更新配置信息中的测量间隙的间隔,更新后测量间隙的间隔相比更新前更大。终端在S301接收到网络设备的测量间隙的配置信息后,根据测量间隙的间隔对邻区进行测量。终端在S304接收到网 络设备的更新的配置信息后,根据更新的测量间隙的间隔对邻区进行测量。图4可以看出,测量间隙1~测量间隙n中每两个测量间隙之间的间隔,相比更新后每两个测量间隙之间的间隔小,即,在更新配置信息后,终端按照更大的间隔测量邻区。若终端按照更大的间隔测量参考信号,不仅能够达到测量更多甚至全部邻区的参考信号的效果,还能够节省终端的能耗。当然,网络设备也可以按照接收的测量结果,配置更小的间隔。Updating the configuration information may be updating any one or more parameters in the configuration information. For example, update the interval of the measurement gap, update the length of the measurement gap, or update the number of measurement gaps. In this way, the network device can update the configuration information according to the measurement result of the neighboring cell reported by the terminal, and the terminal measures according to the updated configuration information, which can be more effective and energy-saving. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, based on the steps shown in FIG. 3, the interval of the measurement gap in the update configuration information is reflected, and the interval of the measurement gap after the update is larger than that before the update. After receiving the configuration information of the measurement gap of the network device in S301, the terminal measures the neighboring cell according to the interval of the measurement gap. After receiving the updated configuration information of the network device in S304, the terminal measures the neighboring cell according to the interval of the updated measurement gap. It can be seen from Figure 4 that the interval between every two measurement gaps in the measurement gap 1 to the measurement gap n is smaller than the interval between every two measurement gaps after the update, that is, after the configuration information is updated, the terminal is updated according to the Measure neighboring cells at large intervals. If the terminal measures the reference signal at a larger interval, it can not only achieve the effect of measuring more or even all the reference signals of the neighboring cells, but also save the energy consumption of the terminal. Of course, the network device can also configure a smaller interval according to the received measurement result.
可选的,配置信息的可能的表现形式如下所示:Optionally, the possible manifestations of configuration information are as follows:
Figure PCTCN2021078952-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2021078952-appb-000001
其中,GapConfig为测量间隙配置信息;ENUMERATED标识枚举类型。mgl表示测量间隙的长度,ms1dot5表示1.5毫秒;mgrp表示测量间隙的周期,枚举值包括40毫秒、80毫秒等值;mgnum表示一个测量间隙的周期包括的测量间隙的个数;mginterval表示测量间隙的间隔;mgta表示测量间隙提前量,枚举值包括0毫秒、0.25毫秒,0.5毫秒。Among them, GapConfig is the measurement gap configuration information; ENUMERATED identifies the enumerated type. mgl represents the length of the measurement gap, ms1dot5 represents 1.5 milliseconds; mgrp represents the period of the measurement gap, enumerated values include 40 milliseconds, 80 milliseconds, etc.; mgnum represents the number of measurement gaps included in the period of a measurement gap; mginterval represents the measurement gap The interval; mgta represents the measurement gap advance, and the enumerated values include 0 milliseconds, 0.25 milliseconds, and 0.5 milliseconds.
可以看出,测量间隙的配置信息中并没有包括间隙偏移值(gapoffset),常规的配置信息通过gapoffset能够确定测量间隙的开始位置,但是通过该参数只能在一个周期内实现一次测量。本申请实施例能够在一个周期内有多个测量间隙,因此通过测量间隙的间隔可以实现多个测量间隙的配置。一般来说第一个测量间隙在一个周期的起始位置,例如0帧中0子帧的0时隙。It can be seen that the configuration information of the measurement gap does not include a gap offset value (gapoffset). The conventional configuration information can determine the starting position of the measurement gap through the gapoffset, but this parameter can only be used to achieve one measurement in one cycle. The embodiment of the present application can have multiple measurement gaps in one period, so the configuration of multiple measurement gaps can be realized through the interval of the measurement gaps. Generally, the first measurement gap is at the beginning of a cycle, for example, time slot 0 of subframe 0 in frame 0.
结合上述方法,以下通过一个举例来对比常规配置方法与本申请的配置方法的区别。In combination with the above methods, the following uses an example to compare the difference between the conventional configuration method and the configuration method of this application.
假设终端所在服务小区的邻小区有4个,分别为小区1、小区2、小区3和小区4。这4个邻区的SSB周期均为20ms,一个20ms的SSB周期内可以包括4个半帧,即N=4。假设小区1在第一个半帧上发送SSB,小区2在第二个半帧上发送SSB,小区3在第三个半帧上发送SSB,小区4在第四个半帧上发送SSB。Assume that there are 4 neighboring cells of the serving cell where the terminal is located, namely, cell 1, cell 2, cell 3, and cell 4. The SSB periods of these 4 neighboring cells are all 20 ms, and a 20 ms SSB period may include 4 half frames, that is, N=4. Assume that cell 1 sends SSB in the first half frame, cell 2 sends SSB in the second half frame, cell 3 sends SSB in the third half frame, and cell 4 sends SSB in the fourth half frame.
以下表1和表2中,一个格子表示一个半帧,1表示对应的小区在该半帧上发送SSB,0表示对应小区在该半帧上不发送SSB。In the following Table 1 and Table 2, a grid represents a half frame, 1 indicates that the corresponding cell transmits SSB in this half frame, and 0 indicates that the corresponding cell does not transmit SSB in this half frame.
如表1所示,常规方式下,假设测量间隙的周期为40ms,则终端在每个周期内只能接收到小区1的SSB。而且无论测量间隙的周期如何设置,终端在每个周期内也只能接收到一个小区的SSB。黑色底色表示终端能够在该半帧上接收到相应小区的SSB。As shown in Table 1, in the conventional mode, assuming that the period of the measurement gap is 40 ms, the terminal can only receive the SSB of cell 1 in each period. Moreover, no matter how the period of the measurement gap is set, the terminal can only receive the SSB of one cell in each period. The black background color indicates that the terminal can receive the SSB of the corresponding cell in this half frame.
表1Table 1

Figure PCTCN2021078952-appb-000002
如表2所示,假设测量间隙的周期为160ms,测量间隙的间隔为15ms,一个测量间隙的周期内包括的测量间隙的个数为8。则本次测量与下次测量之间的间隔为15ms。则终端最短能够在50ms(包括4个测量间隙)内测量4个邻区的SSB。并且在一个测量间隙的周期内,可能对同一个邻区测量多次,使得测量更加准确。终端也可以在一个测量间隙的周期内,只接收一遍所有邻区的参考信号,这样有助于节省终端能耗。As shown in Table 2, it is assumed that the period of the measurement gap is 160 ms, the interval of the measurement gap is 15 ms, and the number of measurement gaps included in one measurement gap period is 8. Then the interval between this measurement and the next measurement is 15ms. Then the terminal can measure the SSB of 4 neighboring cells within 50ms (including 4 measurement gaps) at the shortest. And in a measurement gap period, the same neighboring area may be measured multiple times, making the measurement more accurate. The terminal can also only receive the reference signals of all neighboring cells once in a measurement gap period, which helps to save energy consumption of the terminal.
