在5G系统中引入了部分带宽(bandwidth part，BWP)，当终端设备所在的BWP中不包含SSB信号时，终端设备需要对小区进行间隙(GAP)测量。
网络设备向终端设备下发与GAP测量相关的配置信息，配置信息中包括固定的GAP周期。终端设备在GAP周期内会停止对小区数据的接收和发送，网络设备也不会为终端设备调度数据，也就是说在GAP测量过程中，终端设备的网络设备之间的上下行业务都会进行中断。因此GAP周期过短会影响小区正常的业务吞吐量，增加功耗，而配置GAP周期过长可能存在终端设备掉网的风险，因此如何配置GAP周期是需要解决的问题。
发明内容

具体实施方式
为了使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本申请实施例作进一步地详细描述。
以下，对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明，以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)终端设备，包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，具体的，包括向用户提供语音的设备，或包括向用户提供数据连通性的设备，或包括向用户提供语音和数据连通性的设备。例如可以包括具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的处理设备。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)与核心网进行通信， 与RAN交换语音或数据，或与RAN交互语音和数据。该终端设备可以包括用户设备(user equipment，UE)、无线终端设备、移动终端设备、设备到设备通信(device-to-device，D2D)终端设备、车到一切(vehicle to everything，V2X)终端设备、机器到机器/机器类通信(machine-to-machine/machine-type communications，M2M/MTC)终端设备、物联网(internet of things，IoT)终端设备、轻型终端设备(light UE)、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)，移动站(mobile station)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point，AP)、远程终端(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、或用户装备(user device)等。例如，可以包括移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)，具有移动终端设备的计算机，便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的移动装置等。例如，个人通信业务(personal communication service，PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol，SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、等设备。还包括受限设备，例如功耗较低的设备，或存储能力有限的设备，或计算能力有限的设备等。例如包括条码、射频识别(radio frequency identification，RFID)、传感器、全球定位系统(global positioning system，GPS)、激光扫描器等信息传感设备。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上，或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备，更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能，例如：智能手表或智能眼镜等，以及只专注于某一类应用功能，需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用，如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
而如上介绍的各种终端设备，如果位于车辆上(例如放置在车辆内或安装在车辆内)，都可以认为是车载终端设备，车载终端设备例如也称为车载单元(on-board unit，OBU)。
本申请实施例中，终端设备还可以包括中继(relay)。或者理解为，能够与基站进行数据通信的都可以看作终端设备。
可选的，本申请实施例中所述终端设备可以为低能力终端设备，所述低能力终端设备也可以称为NR-light终端设备或降低性能(reduced capability)终端设备。例如非低能力终端设备在一个载波上的数据传输带宽最大可以为100兆赫(MHz)，而低能力终端设备在一个载波上的数据传输带宽最大可以为20MHz。所述低能力终端设备可以包括智能手环、工业传感器、安保摄像头等。
本申请实施例中，用于实现终端设备的功能的装置可以是终端设备，也可以是能够支持终端设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片系统，该装置可以被安装在终端设备中。本申请实施例中，芯片系统可以由芯片构成，也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，以用于实现终端的功能的装置是终端设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
2)网络设备，例如包括接入网(access network，AN)设备，例如基站(例如，接入点)，可以是指接入网中在空口通过一个或多个小区与无线终端设备通信的设备，或者例如，一种车到一切(vehicle-to-everything，V2X)技术中的网络设备为路侧单元(road side  unit，RSU)。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与IP分组进行相互转换，作为终端设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器，其中接入网的其余部分可包括IP网络。RSU可以是支持V2X应用的固定基础设施实体，可以与支持V2X应用的其他实体交换消息。网络设备还可协调对空口的属性管理。例如，网络设备可以包括长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统或高级长期演进(long term evolution-advanced，LTE-A)中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB，evolutional Node B)，或者也可以包括第五代移动通信技术(the 5th generation，5G)NR系统(也简称为NR系统)中的下一代节点B(next generation node B，gNB)或者也可以包括云接入网(cloud radio access network，Cloud RAN)系统中的集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)，本申请实施例并不限定。
网络设备还可以包括核心网设备，核心网设备例如包括访问和移动管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)或用户面功能(user plane function，UPF)等。因为本申请实施例主要涉及的是接入网设备，因此在后文中，如无特殊说明，则所述的网络设备均是指接入网设备。
本申请实施例中，用于实现网络设备的功能的装置可以是网络设备，也可以是能够支持网络设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片系统，该装置可以被安装在网络设备中。在本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，以用于实现网络设备的功能的装置是网络设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
其中，每个网络设备负责管理至少一个小区。每个小区均使用相应的载波频点为终端设备提供接入服务。不同小区使用的频点可能相同，也可能不同。
3)邻区测量，无线通信系统中，为了保证业务连续性，终端设备通过在具有不同覆盖范围的小区切换或重选，从而获得无线网络持续不断的服务。一般当终端设备移动到小区边缘时，网络设备会下发同频、异频或异系统等测量控制任务，以使终端设备从服务区向邻区切换。所述服务区指当前为终端设备提供服务的小区，所述邻区指待测量小区，可以理解为终端设备在服务服内能够搜索到信号的除去所述服务区之外的其他小区。
同频测量(intra-frequency measurement)，指终端设备的服务区和待测量小区在同一个载波频点(中心频点)上。异频测量(inter-frequency measurement)，指终端设备的服务区和待测量小区不在一个载波频点上。
4)终端设备的无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)状态，在NR系统中，终端设备的RRC状态包括连接(RRC_CONNECTED)态，去激活(RRC_INACTIVE)态和空闲(RRC_IDLE)态。
在NR系统中，连接态的终端设备可以通过SSB信号进行小区(包括服务区和/或邻区)的RRM测量。RRM测量用于支持小区的切换，保证终端设备移动时的业务连续性。
5)GAP测量，在一个终端设备只有单个接收通路时，同一时刻只能在一个频点上接收信号，即同一时刻只能接收一个小区的信号。如图1a所示，当终端设备在接收其服务区发送数据的过程中，如果需要对其他小区进行异频测量或异系统测量等测量操作时，接收机需要离开当前的频点到需要测量的频点测量一段时间段，在该时间段内的异频测量或异系统测量即为GAP测量。
为了保证终端设备和服务区的无线链路质量，终端设备通常在指定的时间段，停止接收其服务区的信号以及数据(上下行业务中断)，并接收其他小区的信号进行异频测量或异系统测量。当该时间段结束后，终端设备再开始接收服务区的信号以及数据。
如图1b所示，GAP测量过程中涉及以下一个或多个参数(以下称为GAP参数)：测量GAP长度(measurement GAP length,MGL)、测量GAP重复周期(measurement GAP repetition period，MGRP)、或GAP偏移(offset)。终端设备根据上述GAP参数可以确定GAP测量的起始位置对应的系统帧号(system frame number，SFN)和子帧(subframe)。上述GAP参数可以通过一条或多条信息/信令进行指示，例如网络设备可以通过RRC信令向所述终端设备指示上述GAP参数。
测量GAP长度，即GAP的持续时长，指终端设备进行一次GAP测量时所需的时间长度(如上述指定的时间段)。例如所述测量GAP长度可以为6毫秒(ms)。
测量GAP重复周期，即GAP周期，指终端设备按照所述GAP周期，周期性的进行GAP测量。例如所述GAP周期可以为40ms、80ms或160ms等，或者所述GAP周期可以为T，T大于0(如T为20ms或40ms等)，当然所述GAP周期也可能为T的整数倍，如2T、4T或8T等。本申请实施例中，所述GAP周期可以为网络设备指示的第一GAP周期或第二GAP周期。
GAP offset用于指示在所述GAP周期何处启动GAP测量，即GAP测量的起始位置。例如，若所述GAP周期为40ms，所述GAP offset的取值范围为[0，39]，若所述GAP周期为80ms，所述GAP offset的取值范围为[0，79]等。
下面为几种常用的测量事件：
服务区质量高于一个绝对门限，可用于关闭正在进行的频间扫描测量和去激活GAP；
服务区质量低于一个绝限门限，可用于打开正在进行的频间扫描测量和激活GAP；
邻区质量比小区质量高于一个门限，可用于频内频间的基于覆盖的切换；
邻区质量高于一个绝对门限，可用于频内频间基于负荷的切换；
邻区质量低于一个绝对门限1且高于一个绝对门限2，可用于频内频间基于覆盖的切换；
终端设备所在的BWP中不包含SSB信号。
其中针对终端设备所在的BWP中不包含SSB信号的场景：对于非低能力终端设备来说，非低能力终端设备支持的激活(active)BWP较大(如100MHz)，一般会包含初始(initial)BWP(initial BWP上有SSB信号)，所以非低能力终端设备可以在active BWP上使用SSB信号进行测量。而对于低能力终端设备(如手环、工业传感器等)来说，低能力终端设备所能支持的active BWP较小(如20MHz)，可能不包含initial BWP，因此低能力终端设备的active BWP上就可能不包含SSB信号，这时低能力终端设备就需要在其服务区内进行切频测量，即切换到包含SSB信号的其他BWP上进行测量。故在终端设备所在的BWP中不包含SSB信号时，终端设备也需要进行GAP测量。
也就是说，本申请实施例所提供的测量方法既可以用于异频/异系统的邻区GAP测量，也可以用于active BWP中没有SSB信号的服务区GAP测量。
示例性的，GAP测量的过程如图2a所示，包括以下过程：
S201：网络设备向终端设备发送RRC信令，所述RRC信令包括GAP参数。
所述GAP参数包括测量GAP长度和GAP周期。例如所述测量GAP长度为6毫秒(ms)，GAP周期为20ms或80ms。
S202：连接态的终端设备通过SSB信号进行小区的RRM测量。
如图2b所示，initial BWP上包含SSB信号，所述连接态的终端设备可以通过其所在 的initial BWP中包含的SSB信号进行小区的RRM测量。但是active BWP中可能不包含SSB信号。若终端设备所在的active BWP中不包含SSB信号，所述网络设备可以执行S203，进行GAP测量。
S201和S202的执行先后顺序可以不做限定。
S203：所述终端设备根据所述GAP参数，进行GAP测量，GAP测量期间上下行业务中断。
例如所述终端设备所在active BWP，GAP周期为20ms，所述终端设备每隔20ms进行一次GAP测量，每次GAP测量的持续时长为6ms。或者所述终端设备在active BWP采用放松(relaxed)的GAP测量方式，GAP周期为80ms，所述终端设备每隔80ms进行一次GAP测量，每次GAP测量的持续时长为6ms。
本申请实施例中所涉及到的“GAP测量”可以理解为采用GAP参数，进行异频/异系统的RRM测量。
6)本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“至少一个”是指一个或者多个，“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B的情况，其中A，B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达，是指的这些项中的任意组合，包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如，a,b,或c中的至少一项(个)，可以表示：a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c，其中a,b,c可以是单个，也可以是多个。
以及，除非有相反的说明，本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分，不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。例如，第一数据包和第二数据包，只是为了区分不同的数据包，而并不是表示这两个数据包的内容、优先级、发送顺序或者重要程度等的不同。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如，第五代(The 5th Generation，5G)通信系统、未来的第六代通信系统和演进的其他通信系统、长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)通信系统、车到万物(vehicle to everything，V2X)、长期演进-车联网(LTE-vehicle，LTE-V)、车到车(vehicle to vehicle，V2V)、车联网、机器类通信(Machine Type Communications，MTC)、物联网(internet of things，IoT)、长期演进-机器到机器(LTE-machine to machine，LTE-M)、机器到机器(machine to machine，M2M)等通信场景中。
为了便于理解本申请实施例，图3a示出了本申请实施例适用的一种可能的通信系统架构，该通信系统架构可以应用于上述各种通信系统。参阅图3a所示，在该通信系统中包括基站和终端设备。这里对通信系统中对基站和终端设备的数量、类型不做限定。
所述基站，负责为所述终端设备提供无线接入有关的服务，实现无线物理层功能、资源调度和无线资源管理、服务质量(Quality of Service，QoS)管理、无线接入控制以及移动性管理(例如小区的重选和切换)功能。所述基站和所述终端设备之间可以通过Uu接口连接，从而实现所述终端设备和所述基站之间的通信。在实际应用中，所述网络设备可以为多个终端设备提供服务。
可选的，用户使用终端设备所处的场景不同时，进行GAP测量的频繁程度也可能有 所区别。
例如，参阅图3b所示，用户处于高速移动的场景中(如用户乘坐公交车、高铁等高速移动的车辆)，用户所使用的终端设备的位置移动频繁，例如终端设备当前位于基站1的服务范围内，随着车辆的移动，终端设备与基站1之间的信号逐渐变差，此时终端设备就需要频繁进行GAP测量，GAP周期可以设置的较短，接入信号更好的邻区(如从基站1接入到基站2)，以保证业务的连续性。参阅图3c所示，用户处于比较空旷的环境中，且用户移动速度较慢(如散步)，终端设备的位置移动也会相应较慢，这样在一定时间段内，终端设备与基站之间的信号比较好，此时终端设备可以不需要经常性地进行GAP测量，GAP周期可以设置的较长，而不会影响用户的使用。
又如，参阅图3d所示，用户正在通过终端设备观看视频直播或者玩在线游戏等，这些应用对网络要求比较高，此时终端设备就需要频繁进行GAP测量，GAP周期可以设置的较短，以保证业务的连续性。参阅图3e所示，用户正在通过终端设备拍照或者采用即时通讯软件聊天等，这些应用对网络要求比较低，此时终端设备可以不需要经常性地进行GAP测量，GAP周期可以设置的较长，不会影响用户的使用。
现有技术中，GAP周期一般由网络设备通过RRC信令静态配置，即网络设备为终端设备配置固定的GAP周期。在一些场景中如图3c和图3e，若GAP周期太短，意味着GAP测量频繁，且频繁打断终端设备与服务区的业务传输，影响业务的正常通信，并增加功耗；在一些场景中如图3b和图3d，终端设备和网络设备一般根据小区频点和邻区的网络情况确定是否进行小区切换或重选，若GAP周期太长，则需要终端设备和网络设备之间重复测量，可能导致终端设备移动过程中来不及重新测量和切换小区，而和网络设备失去联系，存在掉网风险，影响用户的使用体验。
基于此，本申请实施例提供一种测量方法，本申请实施例提供的测量方法适用于如图3a所示的通信系统，可以用于需要通过GAP测量方法进行异频/异系统测量的各种场景中，也可以用于active BWP中没有SSB信号的服务区GAP测量的场景中。该方法中，网络设备可以对终端设备的GAP测量时的GAP周期进行动态调整，增加业务吞吐量、降低功耗，也可以减少终端设备的掉网风险，能够提高终端设备测量时的成功率和效率。
方式一，网络设备可以通过下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)或下行媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)控制单元(control element，CE)动态配置GAP周期。如图4所示，包括以下过程：
S401：网络设备通过RRC信令指示是否使用动态GAP周期。
所述网络设备可以采用静态(static)或者动态(dynamic)来指示是否使用动态GAP周期。例如，所述RRC信令中包括GAP周期配置信息，所述GAP周期配置信息可以用来指示是否使用动态GAP周期，即所述GAP周期配置信息可以用于指示终端设备使用动态GAP周期进行GAP测量，或者用于指示终端设备使用静态GAP周期进行GAP测量。所述GAP周期配置信息可以取值为static或者dynamic。若所述GAP周期配置信息为static，终端设备确定使用静态GAP周期。若所述GAP周期配置信息为dynamic，终端设备确定使用动态GAP周期。
所述RRC信令还可以配置第一GAP周期T，例如所述GAP周期配置信息包括所述第一GAP周期T。例如，所述T的取值可以为40ms，即所述T所对应的具体时间可以为40ms，也就是说所述第一GAP周期可以为40ms。可以理解的是，本申请中对T的具体时间不做 限定，即本申请中对所述第一GAP周期的具体时间不做限定。
可选的，所述GAP周期配置信息默认取值为static，即默认不使用动态GAP周期。若RRC信令配置了dynamic，终端设备可以认为使用动态GAP周期。
该S401的过程可以理解为通过RRC信令进行是否使用动态GAP周期的使能配置。
该S401中涉及到的RRC信令可以理解为使能RRC信令。可以通过新增RRC信令指示使用动态GAP周期，或者可以通过RRC信令中GAP配置信息中的新增项，指示使用动态GAP周期。如RRC信令中GAP配置信息中的新增项为gap-measurement-config ENUMERATED{static，dynamic}，若所述gap-measurement-config ENUMERATED中包括static，表示不使用动态GAP周期，若所述gap-measurement-config ENUMERATED中包括dynamic，表示使用动态GAP周期。
可选的，在S401之前，所述网络设备可以根据终端设备的状态相关信息，来确定是否使用动态GAP周期。所述终端设备的状态相关信息包括以下一种或多种信息：所述终端设备的类型和应用场景、待调度的数据量、所述终端设备的移动速度、频偏、所述终端设备的历史小区信息或所述终端设备的期望GAP周期。所述终端设备的类型可以包括静止类终端设备和移动类终端设备，所述静止类终端设备为固定在某一处，位置基本不变的设备，如视频监控摄像头、工业传感器等，所述移动类终端设备为可跟随用户移动或根据用户控制移动的设备，如手机、智能穿戴设备、无人机或车辆等。或者所述终端设备的类型可以包括低能力终端设备和非低能力终端设备，所述低能力终端设备分配有窄带BWP，支持窄带数据的处理，所述非低能力终端设备分配的BWP较大(相比于所述窄带BWP)。所述终端设备的应用场景可以为对信号质量/强度存在要求的使用场景，如图3d所示的视频直播或在线游戏等对信号质量/强度要求较高，如图3e所示的拍照或聊天对信号质量/强度要求较低等。所述待调度的数据量可以为所述终端设备预期与服务区交互的业务数据的数据量，图3d所示场景中所述待调度的数据量非常多，而图3e所示场景中待调度的数量比较少。所述终端设备的移动速度可以根据所述终端设备与不同覆盖范围的基站的通信确定，或者所述终端设备的移动速度可以根据终端设备的多个全球定位系统(global positioning system，GPS)位置信息确定。所述频偏即所述终端设备与所述网络设备之间的频率偏差。所述终端设备的历史小区信息为所述终端设备在当前服务区之前驻留过的其他小区的信息。所述终端设备的期望GAP周期的上报过程具体可以参见后续方式四的过程。
可选的，所述网络设备确定使用动态GAP周期时，还可以确定如何动态调整GAP周期。所述网络设备对终端设备的GAP周期进行动态调整的过程可以参见下述S402。
若所述S401中的RRC信令指示使用动态GAP周期，执行下述S402和S403。
可以理解的是，RRC信令中还可以携带GAP周期的配置信息。
S402：所述网络设备通过DCI或MAC CE动态修改GAP周期。
在一个示例中，所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数M，用于指示终端设备将GAP周期修改为M值对应的GAP周期。所述M为正整数，例如M的取值可以为1、2、4或8等。终端设备可以将GAP周期修改为1T、2T、4T或8T等，进行GAP测量。
其中所述T通过S401中的RRC信令指示，所述T为第一GAP周期。所述终端设备可以根据T的取值，确定对应GAP周期的取值/具体时间。例如当M取值为2，T为40ms时，所述终端设备确定对应的GAP周期的取值/具体时间为80ms。
在本申请中对M的取值和T的取值不做限定，M的取值为1、2、4或8、T为40ms 仅为本申请做出的一个示例。M的值可以通过一个字段进行指示，从而实现动态调整GAP周期。
在另一个示例中，所述终端设备中保存有预定义的M(不同的M值)和GAP周期的对应关系。所述M和GAP周期的对应关系可以参见下述表1所示。所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数M，终端设备可以根据M的取值，在所述对应关系中查找对应的GAP周期，然后根据T的取值，确定对应GAP周期的具体时间。
所述M可以采用二进制的表示方式，例如M的取值可以为00、01、10或11等。在本申请中对M的取值不做限定，M的取值为00、01、10或11仅为本申请做出的一个示例。
例如在S401中的RRC信令中可以包括一套GAP周期配置信息。如表1所示，当M取值为00(0的二进制表示方式)时，终端设备可以确定对应的GAP周期为T，若T为40ms，则GAP周期的取值可以为40ms，当M的取值为01(1的二进制表示方式)时，终端设备可以确定对应的GAP周期为2T，若T为40ms，则GAP周期的取值可以为80ms。当M的取值为10(2的二进制表示方式)时，终端设备可以确定对应的GAP周期为4T，若T为40ms，则GAP周期的取值可以为160ms。当M的取值为11(3的二进制表示方式)时，终端设备可以确定对应的GAP周期为8T，若T为40ms，则GAP周期的取值可以为320ms。其中，所述T通过S401中的RRC信令指示。在本申请中对T的取值不做限定，T为40ms仅为本申请做出的一个示例。

在该示例中，所述网络设备可以在DCI或MAC CE中携带对应取值的M，即能够实现GAP周期的动态配置。
在又一个示例中，所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数索引(index)，用于指示终端设备将GAP周期修改为index值对应的GAP周期。
例如在S401中的RRC信令中可以包括多套GAP周期配置信息，每套GAP周期配置信息通过index唯一标识，所述每套GAP周期配置信息中包括一个index值对应的GAP周期。其中所述每套GAP周期配置信息中可以显式的包括一个index值，或者可以由每套GAP周期配置信息的配置顺序隐式的指示index值。如当index取值为0时，对应第一套GAP周期配置信息，所述第一套GAP周期配置信息中包括的GAP周期为40ms；当index取值为1时，对应第二套GAP周期配置信息，所述第二套GAP周期配置信息中包括的GAP周期为80ms。
在该示例中，所述网络设备可以在DCI或MAC CE中携带对应取值的index，即能够实现GAP周期的动态配置。
若通过DCI动态修改GAP周期，所述网络设备可以采用调度(Scheduling)DCI或控制DCI进行动态配置。所述DCI可以为现有DCI、或者可以为复用现有DCI，或者可以为新增DCI。在实际通信过程中一般多次发送DCI，网络设备每次发送DCI都可以对GAP周期进行动态修改。当S401中的RRC信令指示使用动态GAP周期时，终端设备可以对每次接收到的DCI都进行解析，确定DCI是否对GAP周期进行了修改，因此实时性好，但是开销较大。
若通过MAC CE动态修改GAP周期，实时性比DCI差，但是开销较小。所述MAC CE可以为新增MAC CE。
S403：所述终端设备根据DCI或MAC CE指示的GAP周期，进行GAP测量。
所述终端设备根据S401中的RRC信令的指示，确定使用静态GAP周期还是使用动态GAP周期。若所述终端设备确定使用动态GAP周期，所述终端设备可以对S402中接收到的DCI或MAC CE进行解析，确定DCI或MAC CE指示的GAP周期。可选的，若所述终端设备确定使用静态GAP周期，所述终端设备还可以根据S401中RRC信令配置的静态的第一GAP周期T，进行GAP测量。
在一个示例中，所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数M，所述终端设备可以确定M值对应的GAP周期，然后根据T的取值，确定对应GAP周期的具体时间，进行GAP测量。所述终端设备可以确定M值对应的GAP周期，然后根据T的取值，确定对应GAP周期的具体时间。
例如，当所述DCI或MAC CE中携带的参数M的取值为2时，所述终端设备可以确定对应的GAP周期为2T，若T为40ms，所述终端设备可以确定对应GAP周期的取值/具体时间为80ms，所述终端设备将GAP周期修改为80ms，进行GAP测量。
在另一个示例中，所述终端设备中保存有预定义的M和GAP周期的对应关系。所述M和GAP周期的对应关系可以参见上述表1所示。所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数M，所述终端设备根据M的取值，在所述对应关系中查找对应的GAP周期，然后根据T的取值，确定对应GAP周期的具体时间，进行GAP测量。
例如在S401中的RRC信令中可以包括一套GAP周期配置信息，如上述表1所示。当所述DCI或MAC CE中携带的参数M的取值为10，所述终端设备可以确定对应的GAP周期为4T，若T为40ms，所述终端设备可以确定对应GAP周期的取值/具体时间为160ms，所述终端设备将GAP周期修改为160ms，进行GAP测量。
在又一个示例中，所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数index，所述终端设备可以确定index值对应的GAP周期配置信息，并确定对应GAP周期配置信息中包括的GAP周期。
例如在S401中的RRC信令中可以包括多套GAP周期配置信息，每套GAP周期配置信息通过index唯一标识，所述每套GAP周期配置信息中包括一个index对应的GAP周期。例如，所述DCI或MAC CE中携带的参数index的取值为0，所述终端设备确定index值为0对应第一套GAP周期配置信息，所述第一套GAP周期配置信息中包括的GAP周期为40ms，所述终端设备将GAP周期修改为40ms，进行GAP测量。
值得注意的是，S401和S402中的所有信息都需要在进行GAP测量之前指示给终端设备，这是因为终端设备在进行GAP测量的过程中，无法接收到业务数据，也无法接收到RRC信令、DCI和MAC CE。
在该方式中，网络设备可以通过DCI或MAC CE修改GAP周期，例如当前GAP周 期为T时，终端设备可以通过DCI或MAC CE将GAP周期修改为2T、4T或8T，因此可以实现终端设备的GAP周期的动态修改，避免GAP周期过短对业务通信的影响，减少功耗，也可以避免GAP周期过长导致终端设备掉网，也可以保证终端设备测量时的成功率和效率。
方式二，网络设备可以通过跳过一个或多个周期，动态修改终端设备的GAP周期。如图5所示，包括以下过程：
S501：网络设备通过RRC信令指示是否使用动态GAP周期。
S501的实现过程可以参见上述S401，相似之处不再赘述。
S502：所述网络设备指示终端设备跳过N个GAP周期T。
在该S502中，所述网络设备通过DCI或MAC CE指示终端设备跳过N个GAP周期T。所述网络设备指示终端设备跳过N个GAP周期T，即在N个GAP周期T所对应的时间内，所述终端设备不进行GAP测量，在第N+1个GAP周期，所述终端设备进行GAP测量。
在一个示例中，所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数N，用于指示终端设备跳过N个GAP周期T。所述N为正整数，例如N的取值可以为1、2、4或8等。所述终端设备可以跳过1T、2T、4T或8T所对应的时间。
其中所述T通过S501中的RRC信令指示。所述终端设备可以根据T的取值，确定跳过的时间。例如当N取值为2，T为40ms时，所述终端设备确定跳过的时间为80ms。
在本申请中对M的取值和T的取值不做限定，M的取值为1、2、4或8、T为40ms仅为本申请做出的一个示例。M的值可以通过一个字段进行指示，从而实现动态调整GAP周期。
在另一个示例中，所述终端设备中保存有预定义的M(不同的M值)和GAP周期的对应关系。所述M和GAP周期的对应关系可以参见下述表2所示。所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数M，终端设备可以根据M的取值，在所述对应关系中对应的跳过的GAP周期，然后根据T的取值，确定跳过的时间。
所述M可以采用二进制的表示方式，例如M的取值可以为00、01、10或11等。在本申请中对M的取值不做限定，M的取值为00、01、10或11仅为本申请做出的一个示例。
如表2所示，当M的取值为00时，所述终端设备可以确定跳过1个GAP周期T，若T为40ms，则跳过的具体时间可以为40ms。当M的取值为01时，所述终端设备可以确定跳过2个GAP周期T，若T为40ms，则跳过的具体时间可以为80ms，当M的取值为10时，所述终端设备可以确定跳过4个GAP周期T，若T为40ms，则跳过的具体时间可以为160ms，当M的取值为11时，终端设备可以确定跳过8个GAP周期T，若T为40ms，则跳过的具体时间可以为320ms。其中，所述T通过S501中的RRC信令指示。在本申请中对T的取值不做限定，T为40ms仅为本申请做出的一个示例。
表2
Figure PCTCN2021109025-appb-000002
S503：所述终端设备在第N+1个GAP周期T，恢复原GAP周期进行GAP测量。
终端设备在N个GAP周期T之后，在第(N+1)个GAP周期，采用原GAP周期进行GAP测量。所述原GAP周期为静态的第一GAP周期T。可选的，所述终端设备在未接收到S502中所示的指示之前，采用所述第一GAP周期T进行GAP测量。
在一个示例中，所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数N，所述终端设备跳过N个GAP周期T，在第N+1个GAP周期进行GAP测量。
例如，当所述DCI或MAC CE中携带的参数N的取值为2时，所述终端设备可以确定跳过2个GAP周期T，若T为40ms，所述终端设备可以确定跳过的时间为80ms。
在另一个示例中，所述终端设备中保存有预定义的M和GAP周期的对应关系。所述M和GAP周期的对应关系可以参见上述表2所示。所述DCI或MAC CE中携带参数M，所述终端设备根据M的取值，在所述对应关系中查找对应的跳过的GAP周期。
例如，当所述DCI或MAC CE中携带的参数M的取值为10，所述终端设备可以确定对应的跳过的GAP周期为4T，即所述终端设备跳过的具体时间为160ms，所述终端设备在第5个GAP周期进行GAP测量。
在该方式中，网络设备可以指示终端设备跳过N个GAP周期T，因此可以实现终端设备的GAP周期的动态修改，避免GAP周期过短对业务通信的影响，减少功耗，也可以避免GAP周期过长导致终端设备掉网，也可以保证终端设备测量时的成功率和效率。所述终端设备在跳过N个GAP周期T后，无需新的指示信息，即可自行恢复原GAP周期，可以进一步减少信令开销。
方式三，网络设备配置多套GAP周期，并为每套GAP周期配置对应的优先级。如图6所示，包括以下过程：
S601：网络设备通过RRC信令配置低优先级GAP周期和高优先级GAP周期。
其中GAP周期的优先级可以用于所述终端设备确定GAP测量和调度任务的处理优先级，如在存在调度任务时，可以跳过低优先级的GAP测量，不跳过高优先级的GAP测量，即调度任务的处理优先级高于低优先级的GAP测量，调度任务的处理优先级低于高优先级的GAP测量。
RRC信令中包括低优先级GAP周期和高优先级GAP周期。所述低优先级GAP周期包括T1、高优先级GAP周期包括T2，其中T2＝KT1，K为大于1的整数，T1大于0，所述T1可以为第一GAP周期。例如所述低优先级GAP周期可以为T、2T、或4T中的一个，所述高优先级GAP周期可以为8T，又如所述低优先级GAP周期可以为40ms，所述高优 先级GAP周期可以为160ms。
可选的，多个GAP周期及每个GAP周期对应的优先级可以通过一条信息进行配置，如图7a所示的GapConfig。或者多个GAP周期及每个GAP周期对应的优先级可以通过多条信息进行配置，如图7b所示的GapConfigHighPri(用于配置高优先级GAP周期)和GapConfigLowPri(用于配置低优先级GAP周期)。
S602：所述网络设备向终端设备发送调度任务。
调度任务的优先级可以是隐式的，如网络设备和终端设备默认调度任务的优先级高于低优先级GAP周期，且低于高优先级GAP周期。这样，终端设备在接收到调度任务后，忽略/跳过/打断/不执行低优先级GAP周期，不忽略/不跳过/不打断高优先级GAP周期。
S603：若当前GAP测量的GAP周期为低优先级，且在此GAP周期内有调度任务，所述终端设备跳过低优先级的GAP测量；若当前GAP测量的GAP周期为高优先级，且在此GAP周期内有调度任务，所述终端设备忽略所述调度任务，继续进行所述高优先级的GAP测量。
所述终端设备接收到调度任务后，跳过低优先级的GAP测量，不跳过高优先的GAP测量，即高优先级的GAP测量不受调度影响。其中跳过低优先级的GAP测量指忽略/不执行下个周期的GAP测量，例如终端设备确定应该在时隙(slot)5进行低优先级的GAP测量，但是在slot4时确定slot5需要执行调度任务，则所述终端设备在slot5执行调度任务，而不执行低优先级的GAP测量。
如图8所示，低优先级GAP周期包括20ms，高优先级GAP周期包括80ms。例如调度任务的优先级高于GAP周期的低优先级，且低于GAP周期的高优先级。针对低优先级GAP周期，在有调度任务时，跳过低优先级GAP测量，所述网络设备执行调度任务，在没有调度任务时，低优先级GAP测量正常进行。而针对高优先级GAP周期，无论是否有调度任务，高优先级GAP测量均正常进行。
在该方式中，所述网络设备和终端设备之间无需额外的信令开销，即可实现调度任务和GAP测量之间的调度控制，实现GAP测量的动态调度。
方式四，终端设备可以上报期望GAP周期。如图9所示，包括以下过程：
S901：终端设备上报期望GAP周期。
可选的，在S901中，终端设备可以根据终端设备的类型和应用场景、终端设备的移动速度和待调度的数据量中的至少一项，确定终端设备的期望GAP周期。例如，所述终端设备可以直接将所述期望GAP周期进行上报，或者所述终端设备可以上报N，N用于指示所述期望GAP周期为N个GAP周期T。
在一个示例中，终端设备可以通过所述终端设备的辅助信息(UEAssistanceInformation)进行期望GAP周期的初始上报。其中采用UEAssistanceInformation的开销小，但是灵活性差，更适用于视频监控摄像头、工业传感器等静止类终端设备。
在另一个示例中，终端设备可以通过上行MAC CE上报所述期望GAP周期。例如所述期望GAP周期可以和缓冲状态报告(buffer status report，BSR)一起上报，灵活性好。
在又一个示例中，终端设备可以通过上行控制信息(uplink control information，UCI)上报所述期望GAP周期。通过UCI进行上报的实时性高，但是开销较大。
例如，终端设备可以通过物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel，PUCCH) 0或PUCCH1上报期望GAP周期，例如所述终端设备通过选择不同的初始循环移位值m cs，来隐式上报期望GAP周期N(Wanted Gap N)，m cs为循环移位(cyclic shift，cs)的取值。如表3所示，0表示否定响应(NACK)消息，1表示确认响应(ACK)消息。若NACK消息中的m cs为3，对应的期望GAP周期为T，若ACK消息中的m cs为9，对应的期望GAP周期为T。若NACK消息中的m cs为4，对应的期望GAP周期为2T，若ACK消息中的m cs为10，对应的期望GAP周期为2T。若NACK消息中的m cs为5，对应的期望GAP周期为4T，若ACK消息中的m cs为11，对应的期望GAP周期为4T。
表3
Wanted Gap N 0 1
1 m cs＝3 m cs＝9
2 m cs＝4 m cs＝10
4 m cs＝5 m cs＝11
又如，所述网络设备可以下发期望GAP周期的上报指示，来触发期望GAP周期的非周期性上报。例如在DCI0_1中新增GapN request字段，该GapN request字段用于指示终端设备上报期望GAP周期，终端设备可以在解析到该GapN request字段后，将期望GAP周期对应的N值随UCI一起上报。
S902:网络设备根据所述期望GAP周期，确定是否使用动态GAP周期。
在S902中，所述网络设备以所述期望GAP周期作为参考，结合终端设备的其他状态信息(所述其他状态信息可以参见上述S401中所述终端设备的状态相关信息)，确定是否使用动态GAP周期。
S903：所述网络设备动态修改GAP周期。
S904：网络终端设备根据所述网络设备指示的GAP周期，进行GAP测量。
S902～S904可以参见上述方式一、方式二和方式三中的相应描述，重复之处不做赘述。
在该方式中，终端设备可以上报适合自己的期望GAP周期，网络设备参考终端设备的期望GAP周期，可以进一步准确地确定如何动态修改GAP周期。
上述方式一、方式二、方式三和方式四可以单独使用，也可以组合使用。
结合上述实施例及附图，如图10所示，本申请实施例提供一种测量方法。包括以下步骤：
S1001：网络设备向终端设备发送第一信令，所述终端设备接收所述第一信令，所述第一信令包括GAP周期配置信息，所述GAP周期配置信息用于所述终端设备进行GAP测量，且，所述GAP周期配置信息包括第一GAP周期。
所述第一GAP周期可以表示为T。
可选的，所述第一信令还用于指示所述终端设备使用静态GAP周期，或用于所述终端设备使用动态GAP周期。如所述GAP周期配置信息具体用于指示所述终端设备采用静态GAP周期进行GAP测量，或者指示所述终端设备采用动态GAP周期进行GAP测量。
所述第一信令指示是否使用动态GAP周期的过程可以参见上述S401，重复之处不做 赘述。
一种可能的实现中，所述第一信令还可以包括低优先级GAP周期和高优先级GAP周期。示例性的，所述低优先级GAP周期包括T1，所述高优先级GAP周期包括T2，其中T2＝KT1，K为大于1的整数。关于低优先级GAP周期和高优先级GAP周期的更多示例可以参见上述S601，重复之处不做赘述。
所述GAP周期的优先级用于所述终端设备确定GAP测量和调度任务的处理优先级。例如调度任务可以用于指示所述终端设备跳过低优先级的GAP测量，不跳过高优先级的GAP测量。也就是说，对于低优先级GAP周期来说，若存在调度任务，所述终端设备可以跳过/忽略/打断/不执行低优先级GAP周期的GAP测量，执行所述调度任务；对于高优先级GAP周期来说，若存在调度任务，所述终端设备可以忽略所述调度任务，不跳过/不忽略/不打断所述高优先级GAP周期的GAP测量。
例如，所述网络设备还可以向所述终端设备发送调度任务，其中，所述调度任务用于指示所述终端设备跳过低优先级的所述GAP测量，不跳过高优先级的GAP测量。
