Description

一种测量方法及装置
本申请要求于2020年12月31日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为PCT/CN2020/142407、申请名称为“一种应用NCSG的方法及装置”的国际专利申请的优先权,以及于2021年4月2日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为PCT/CN2021/085456、申请名称为“一种测量方法及装置”的国际专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种测量方法及装置。
背景技术
通信网络中,在单射频架构下,终端为了测量某个测量目标(measurement object,MO)上的参考信号,需要将服务小区的射频调谐至MO的射频,在MO的射频上接收参考信号并对接收到的参考信号进行测量,并在测量结束后将MO的射频调谐回服务小区的射频,这过程中服务小区上产生数据中断,出现测量间隔。
多射频架构下,为了测量某个MO上的参考信号,终端打开该MO对应的射频链,在MO的射频上接收参考信号并对接收到的参考信号进行测量,并在测量结束后关闭MO对应的射频链。由于MO对应的射频链以及服务小区的射频链等多个射频链可能由同一控制装置控制开关,开关MO对应的射频链可能会导致服务小区的数据中断,出现测量间隔。
为了减少服务小区上数据中断的时长,减少测量间隔对服务小区上数据吞吐量的影响,第三代合作协议计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)的版本17(release17,R17)MG增强项目中提出了网络控制的小测量间隔(network control small gap,NCSG)以及NCSG的图案(pattern)以及相关配置。但是未讨论NCSG与测量间隔(measurement gap,MG)之间的切换,也未讨论NCSG的测量时间长度(measurement length,ML)内终端的测量行为。

一种可能的设计中,终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG,终端根据第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,对第一组MO进行测量,包括:终端根据网络设备为第一组MO配置的MG pattern的参数确定NCSG的参数,根据NCSG的参数确定NCSG的ML内的测量行为。
基于该可能的设计,根据配置的MG pattern的参数确定NCSG的参数,简化系统设计且不需要维护NCSG pattern,降低NCSG配置的复杂度。

基于该可能的设计,可以在网络设备的指示下确定第一组MO的测量间隔类型,简化系统设计,且降低终端确定测量间隔类型的复杂度。
一种可能的设计中,第一信息指示测量间隔类型;第一信息携带在第二信息中,第二信息用于配置MG pattern;或者,第一信息携带在层(layer,L)1信令中;或者,第一信息携带在L2信令中。
基于该可能的设计,可以将第一信息携带在配置MG pattern的消息中,降低信令开销,或者用专门的信令携带第一信息,提高第一信息的承载方式的多样性以及降低第一信息交互的时延。
一种可能的设计中,第一信息指示是否允许终端切换测量间隔类型;终端根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,包括:终端根据第一信息确定允许终端切换测量间隔类型,终端根据第一规则确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型;其中,第一规则包括:当第一组MO中不存在第一类MO时,第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG;当第一组MO中存在第一类MO时,第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG;第一类MO包括需要MG的MO;或者,终端根据第一信息确定不允许终端切换测量间隔类型,终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG。
基于该可能的设计,可以根据预先配置的规则确定测量间隔类型,简化系统设计。同时,终端和网络设备可以分别根据当前配置的MO对MG或者NCSG的需求,判断是否应用MG或者NCSG,在实现MG和NCSG快速切换的同时避免了MO发生变化时的在MG和NCSG间切换的信令交互。
一种可能的设计中,终端根据网络设备为第一组MO配置的MG pattern的参数确定第NCSG的参数,包括:终端将MG pattern的测量间隔重复周期(measurement gap repetition period,MGRP)作为NCSG的可见中断重复周期(visible interruption repetition period,VIRP);终端将MG pattern的测量间隔长度(measurement gap length,MGL)中去除第一可见中断长度(visible interruption length,VIL)和第二VIL后的时间长度作为NCSG的ML,第一VIL的时长以及第二VIL的时长等于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长。
基于该可能的设计,可以根据MG pattern的参数确定NCSG的参数,简化NCSG的参数的配置,同时,为所有的调度方式设置系统的VIL,简化了系统设计。
一种可能的设计中,数据传输行为包括上行传输,终端根据第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,确定终端的服务小区上的数据传输行为,包括:终确定在第一VIL之后的n个时隙(slot)或符号(symbol)内是否进行上行传输,以及确定在第二VIL之后的n个slot 或symbol内是否进行上行传输;其中,n为大于或者等于零的整数,n在协议中预定义或根据终端的通信参数确定。
基于该可能的设计,终端可以在第一VIL和第二VIL基于自己的内部实现确定是否进行上行传输,终端的这种上行传输行为与MG之后的上行传输行为相同,即重用现有流程,同时,避免了为不同的调度方式定义不同的VIL,简化系统设计。
一种可能的设计中,如果MG pattern是以终端为粒度配置的MG pattern,或者MG pattern是以频率范围(frequency range,FR)为粒度配置的与第一FR对应的MG pattern,则MG pattern对应的VIL是0.5毫秒(millisecond,ms);如果MG pattern是以FR为粒度配置的与第二FR对应的MG pattern,则MG pattern对应的VIL是0.25ms。
一种可能的设计中,终端根据NCSG的参数,确定NCSG的ML内的测量行为,包括:如果终端支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量,则终端在NCSG的ML内测量第二类MO和第三类MO;终端测量第二类MO和第三类MO时的测量行为与终端在MG的MGL之外的测量行为相同;如果终端不支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量,则终端在NCSG的ML内仅测量第二类MO;终端测量第二类MO时的测量行为与终端在MG的MGL之内的测量行为相同;第二类MO包括需要NCSG的MO,第三类MO包括不需要MG以及NCSG的MO。
基于该可能的设计,根据终端是否支持在NCSG的ML内测量不需要MG的MO的情况,允许终端在NCSG的ML时间内测量或者不测量其它不需要MG的MO,区分了不同的终端实现,使得可以支持同时测量两类MO的终端可以实现更快的测量,不能支持同时测量两类MO的终端可以重用现有的实现方式,简化系统设计且实现兼容。
一种可能的设计中,终端向网络设备发送第三信息;其中,第三信息用于指示终端是否支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量。以便网络设备根据第三信息确实终端的测量时延,比如网络设备可以根据第三信息对终端的测量时延做出估计,并根据自己对测量时延的需要,调整MO或者MG的配置。

一种可能的设计中,终端确定第一组MO对应测量间隔类型为NCSG;在NCSG内测量的MO和在NCSG外测量的MO对应第一测量行为。
基于该可能的设计,保证NCSG内以及NCSG外的待测量的MO的测量行为是一致的,使得终端在测量时不会将NCSG视为特殊的测量机会用于测量部分MO,也不会将NCSG视为不可用的测量机会。
一种可能的设计中,第一测量行为包括一种或多种:每个MO对应的缩放因子CSSF根据第一计算方式得到,第一计算方式为MG外测量时所用的计算方式;L3测量的缩放因子Kp=1;L1测量的缩放因子Klayer1根据NCSG内和NCSG外的所有L1测量参考信号的测量周期确定;NCSG与同步信号和物理广播信道块(synchronization signal and PBCH block,SSB)测量时间配置(SSB measurement timing configuration,SMTC)重叠时计算缩放因子CSSF所用的计算方式与NCSG与SMTC未重叠时计算缩放因子CSSF所用的计算方式相同。

基于该可能的设计,在去激活SCC的属性信息包括去激活SCC的SMTC的情况下,网络设备可以通过控制NCSG和去激活SCC的SMTC的重叠关系控制终端的测量行为(如在NCSG内测量或在NCSG外测量),使得网络设备在配置NCSG时,不必让NCSG完全覆盖去激活SCC的SMTC,配置起来较为灵活,简便。

基于该可能的设计,若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和所有在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间具备独立波束管理能力,则终端对测量目标频点的测量(即测量目标频点的L3测量)不会影响第一服务小区的L1测量,或者说,第一服务小区的L1测量不受该测量目标频点的L3测量的影响。因此,终端可以在NCSG内进行第一服务小区的L1测量,相比于MG测量的方式,减少了测量目标频点的L3测量对第一服务小区的L1测量的影响,增加了L1测量的机会,降低了L1测量时延。

具体实施方式
在介绍本申请实施例之前,对本申请实施例涉及的一些名词进行解释:
MG:终端为了测量某个MO上的参考信号,将服务小区(serving cell)的射频调谐至MO的射频,在MO的射频上接收参考信号并对接收到的参考信号进行测量,并在测量结束后将MO的射频调谐回服务小区的射频。其中,在将服务小区的射频调谐至MO的射频、在MO上的射频上进行测量以及将MO的射频调谐回服务小区的时间段内,服务小区的射频处于关闭状态,服务小区上产生数据中断,该时间段可以称为中断时间或者MG。
本申请实施例中,服务小区可以指为终端提供服务(比如上下行传输)的小区。如果终端处于无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)连接态,但未配置载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA),则该终端只有一个服务小区,即主小区(primary cell,PCell)。如果终端处于RRC连接态且配置了CA,则该终端的服务小区集合包括PCell和所有的辅小区(secondary cell,SCell)。
例如,图1为MG示意图,如图1所示,一个MG的时间长度可以称为MGL或者中断时间,前后相邻的MG之间的时间间隔可以称为MGRP。可选的,如图1所示,该MG可以包括测量前的射频调整时间(part1),测量时间(part2)和测量后的射频调整时间(part3),这个时间段内服务小区上产生数据中断。
其中,MG的参数可以包括MGL、MGRP以及时域位置信息,时域位置信息可以用于指示服务小区上发生数据中断的起始位置。MG的参数可以由网络设备配置。3GPP标准协议中定义了二十六个MG图案(pattern),这二十六个MG pattern的编号为间隔(gap,GP)#0~GP#25,每个MG pattern对应MG的一组参数,不同MG pattern对应的参数的取值可以是不同的。
需要说明的是,本申请不限于MG以及MG的各个参数的命名,MG还可以命名为满间隔(full gap)或者其他名称,不予限制。
为了减少MG对服务小区上的数据吞吐量的影响,3GPP R17 MG增强项目中提出了NCSG。比如,终端上设置多个射频链,终端测量某个MO上的参考信号时,开启与该MO对应的射频链,在MO的射频上接收参考信号并对接收到的参考信号进行测量,并在测量结束后关闭MO对应的射频链,不需要将服务小区的射频调谐至MO的射频。其中,终端开启MO对应的射频链、在MO上的射频上进行测量以及关闭MO的射频链的时间段可以称为NCSG。由于终端上的多个射频链共享同一开关控制装置,MO对应的射频链的开启或关闭可能会影响服务小区对应的射频链的开关或关闭,导致服务小区上的数据中断。
例如,图2为NCSG示意图,如图2所示,一个NCSG可以包括第一VIL、ML以及第二VIL,前后相邻的NCSG之间的时间间隔可以称为VIRP。第一VIL可以为终端开启 MO对应的射频链的时间长度,第二VIL可以为终端关闭MO对应的射频链的时间长度,ML可以为终端利用MO对应的射频链进行RRM测量的时间长度,ML内终端的服务小区上的数据不会中断。
本申请实施例中,第一VIL可以指NCSG中开启MO对应的射频链的时间段,第二VIL可以指NCSG中关闭MO对应的射频链的时间段。本申请中,不限于第一VIL、第二VIL的命名,第一VIL还可以替换描述为前VIL,第二VIL还可以替换描述为后VIL。
其中,NCSG的参数可以包括VIL、ML以及VIRP,每个参数的取值可以预先配置好。比如,3GPP长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)标准协议中定义了四种NCSG pattern:#0~#3,这四个NCSG pattern标识(identifier,ID)可以为0、1、2、3。每个NCSG pattern对应NCSG的一组参数,不同NCSG pattern对应的参数的取值可以是不同的。
例如,以第一VIL为VIL1,第二VIL为VIL2为例,下表一示出了四种NCSG pattern,如表一所示,每种NCSG pattern的参数的取值是不同。比如,NCSG pattern ID为0时,VIL1为1ms,ML为4ms,调度方式为下行链路(downlink,DL)调度(或者简称为下行数据调度)时,VIL2为1ms,调度方式为上行链路(uplink,UL)调度(或者简称为上行数据调度)时,VIL2为2ms,VIRP为40ms。NCSG pattern ID为1时,VIL1为1ms,ML为4ms,调度方式为下行数据调度时,VIL2为1ms,调度方式为上行数据调度时,VIL2为2ms,VIRP为80ms。

一种可能的设计中,由网络设备为终端的某个或一组MO配置NCSG pattern或者MG pattern,终端根据配置的NCSG pattern或者MG pattern对应的参数对MO进行RRM测量。比如,假设终端支持CA技术和同步双连接(dual connection,DC)技术,在同步DC下,如果终端没有被配置MG pattern,网络设备可以配置一个per UE的NCSG,每个成员载波(component carrier,CC)上都配置相同的NCSG。如果终端在部分CC上被配置了MG pattern:GP#0或者GP#1,在其它的CC上可以隐式配置NCSG pattern 0或者NCSG pattern1;如果终端在所有CC上被配置了MG,NCSG不能被配置。
在异步DC下,如果终端在主小区组(master cell group,MCG)和辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)没有被配置MG,网络设备可以配置一个per CC的NCSG。如果终端在MCG(或SCG)上被配置了MG pattern:GP#0或者GP#1,在SCG(或MCG)上没有被配置MG,在SCG(或MCG)上可以隐式配置NCSG pattern2/NCSG pattern 3。
上述可能的设计中,网络设备针对不同MO可能需要同时为终端配置NCSG pattern、 MG pattern,配置方式复杂且不够灵活,且需要维护多种NCSG pattern、以及多种MG pattern,同时,不能实现NCSG pattern或MG pattern之间的灵活切换,且未对NCSG的ML内的测量行为进行规范。
为解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供一种测量方法,该方法包括:终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,该测量间隔类型包括MG或者NCSG,终端根据确定的第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型对第一组MO进行测量以及根据第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,确定终端的服务小区上的数据传输行为。即对于一组MO确定该组MO采用的测量间隔类型,以便根据确定的测量间隔类型确定NCSG的参数以及进行测量,无需为该组MO中需要NCSG的每个MO分配NCSG pattern,降低测量间隔配置的复杂度。

图5为本申请实施例提供的一种测量方法,如图5所示,该方法可以包括:
步骤501:终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,测量间隔类型为MG或者NCSG。
其中,终端可以为图3所示通信系统中的任一终端。该终端可以在服务小区上与网络设备之间进行上行传输或者下行传输。服务小区的具体描述可参照上述,不予赘述。
其中,第一组MO可以由网络设备配置给终端,第一组MO可以包括一个或者多个MO,MO可以包括终端的服务小区的频点或者非服务小区的频点。一种示例中,第一组MO可以包括终端的所有MO,即第一组MO对应的MG或者NCSG为per UE的。又一示例中,第一组MO可以包括终端支持的某个频率范围(frequency range,FR)内的所有MO,即第一组MO对应的MG或者NCSG为per FR的。终端支持的FR可以包括第一FR或者第二FR。第一FR可以为低频范围FR1,第二FR可以为高频范围FR2。应理解,本申请实施例对MO的分组方式不做限定。
示例性的,终端可以在网络设备的指示下确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG。比如,终端可以接收来自网络设备的第一信息,第一信息用于确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,终端根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型。
一种可能的设计中,第一信息指示第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,如第一信息可以携带有用于指示第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG的指示符,终端接收到第一信息后可以直接根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG。
具体的,第一信息可以为二进制比特“0”或者“1”,当第一信息为二进制比特“0”时,指示测量间隔类型为MG,当第一信息为二进制比特“1”时,指示测量间隔类型为NCSG。
其中,该可能的设计中,第一信息可以携带在第二信息中,第二信息可以用于为终端的第一组MO配置MG pattern。当第一组MO包括终端的所有MO时,该MG pattern可以是以终端为粒度配置的MG pattern,即per UE的MG pattern,或者,当第一组MO包括终端支持的某个FR对应的MO时,该MG pattern可以是以终端支持的FR为粒度配置的MG pattern,即per FR的MG pattern,该MG pattern可以对应FR1或者FR2。具体的,第二信息可以称为MG pattern配置信息,第一信息携带在第二信息中可以实现在网络设备为终端配置第一组MO对应的MG pattern的同时额外指示第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG,节省信令开销。
可替换的,该可能的设计中,第一信息还可以携带在新增信令中,如携带在层(layer,L)1信令或者L2信令中,即用专门的信令指示第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG,便于终端及时准确地获知第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型。
本申请实施例中,网络设备为终端的第一组MO配置MG pattern的方式可参照下述,比如:终端可以向网络设备上报能力信息(比如终端是否需要MG等),网络设备可以根据终端上报的能力信息向终端发送携带MG pattern的第二信息(如MG pattern配置信息)。
其中,对于per UE的MG pattern,网络设备为终端的第一组MO配置的MG pattern可以为上述GP#0-GP#25中的任一种。对于per FR的MG pattern,且该MG pattern对应FR1,网络设备为终端的第一组MO配置的MG pattern可以为GP#0-GP#11、GP#24以及GP#/25中的任一种。对于per UE的MG pattern,且该MG pattern对应FR2,网络设备为终端的第一组MO配置的MG pattern可以为GP#12-GP#23中的任一种。
又一种可能的设计中,第一信息用于指示是否允许终端切换测量间隔类型,终端根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型可以包括:
终端根据第一信息确定允许终端切换测量间隔类型,终端根据第一规则确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,第一规则包括如果第一组MO中存在第一类MO,则第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为MG,如果第一组MO中不存在第一类MO,则第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG。或者,终端根据第一信息确定不允许终端切换测量间隔类型,则终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为MG。
该可能的设计中,第一信息用于指示是否允许终端切换测量间隔类型可以包括下述三种设计形式的一种。第一种、第一信息指示允许终端切换测量间隔类型,如果终端收到第一信息,则根据第一信息确定允许终端切换测量间隔类型,反之,如果未收到第一信息,则默认不允许终端切换测量间隔类型。第二种,第一信息指示不允许终端切换测量间隔类型,如果终端收到第一信息,则根据第一信息确定不允许终端切换测量间隔类型,如果未收到第一信息,则默认允许终端切换测量间隔类型。第三种,第一信息指示是否允许终端切换测量间隔类型,即第一信息携带的内容决定了是否允许终端切换测量间隔类型。比如,第一信息可以携带布尔值“真(true)”或者“假(false)”,如果第一信息携带true,则指示允许终端切换测量间隔类型,如果第一信息携带false,则指示不允许终端切换测量间隔类型。
其中,第一规则可以由网络设备预先配置给终端,或者由协议预先规定好,不予限制。
本申请实施例中,第一类MO可以包括需要MG的MO,需要MG的MO可以指在该MO上进行测量时服务小区上产生数据中断,需要MG的MO所配置的测量间隔类型为图1所示的MG,这样才能保证MO上的测量被成功执行。
步骤502:终端根据确定的测量间隔类型,对第一组MO进行测量。
具体的,步骤502的执行过程可以包括:步骤501中终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG,终端根据网络设备为终端配置的MG pattern对应的参数确定NCSG的参数,根据NCSG的参数确定NCSG的ML内的测量行为。
如果步骤501中终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为MG,则终端可以直接将网络设备为终端配置的MG pattern对应的参数作为MG的参数,根据MG的参数确定MG的MGL内的测量行为。
其中,MG pattern可以包括GP#0-GP#25这26种图像,MG pattern对应的参数可以包括MGRP、MGL等。NCSG的参数可以如图2所示,包括第一VIL、ML、第二VIL、以及VIRP等。本申请中,第一VIL可以称为VIL1或者前VIL,第二VIL可以称为VIL2或者后VIL,在此统一说明,不再赘述。
其中,终端根据网络设备为终端配置的MG pattern对应的参数确定NCSG的参数的具体执行过程可参照下述步骤603中所述。终端根据NCSG的参数进行RRM测量的过程可参照下述步骤604中所述。
步骤503:终端根据第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,确定终端的服务小区上的数据传输行为。
本申请实施例中,数据传输可以包括上行传输或者下行传输。上行传输可以指从终端向网络设备发送数据,下行传输可以指从网络设备向终端发送数据。
示例性,终端根据确定的第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型确定终端的服务小区上的数据传输行为可以包括:
在第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG的情况下,确定在NCSG的第一VIL和第二VIL内中断服务小区上的数据传输,并且在下行传输场景下,在NCSG的ML内或者NCSG之后进行服务小区上的下行传输,在上行传输场景下,在第一VIL之后的一段时间内(如n个slot或者symbol内)、第二VIL之后的一段时间内根据终端内部实现确定是否进行上行传输。在第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为MG的情况下,确定在MG的MGL内中断服务小区上的数据传输,在MG的MGL之后继续服务小区上的数据传输。
步骤504:网络设备确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG。
其中,第一组MO的相关描述可参照步骤501中所述,不予赘述。
具体的,网络设备确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG的实现方式与终端确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型的实现方式相同,不予赘述。如此,网络设备可以确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,避免在VIL中与终端之间调度数据。
步骤505:网络设备根据第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型对终端进行数据调度。
本申请实施例中,数据调度可以包括上行数据调度或者下行数据调度。上行数据调度可以指网络设备调度终端进行上行数据传输(或者简称为上行传输),下行数据调度可以指网络设备调度终端进行下行数据传输(或者简称为下行传输)。
示例性,网络设备根据第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型对终端进行数据调度可以包括下述几种情况中的任一种:
在第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG,且数据调度为下行数据调度的情况下,确定在NCSG的第一VIL和第二VIL内不对终端进行数据调度,在NCSG的ML内以及NCSG结束后对终端进行数据调度。
在第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG,且数据调度为上行数据调度的情况,网络设备确定在NCSG的第一VIL和第二VIL内不对终端进行数据调度,而是在第一VIL之后的一段时间结束后、第二VIL之后的一段时间结束后对终端进行数据调度,比如网络设备会生成调度信息,并向终端发送调度信息,该调度信息用于调度终端在第一VIL之后的一段时间(如n个slot或者symbol)结束后进行上行传输、在第二VIL之后的一段时间(如n个slot或者symbol)结束后进行上行传输。
需要说明的是,第一VIL之后的一段时间与第二VIL之后的一段时间的长度可以相同,也可以不同,比如第一VIL之后的一段时间可以均为n个slot或者symbol,也可以设计为第一VIL后的n个slot或者symbol,第二VIL之后的m个slot或者symbol,n与m不同。
在第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为MG的情况下,网络设备确定在MG的MGL内不对终端进行数据调度,而在MG的MGL之后调度终端进行数据传输(上行传输或者下行传输)。
需要说明的是,本申请不限于步骤504-步骤505的执行顺序,步骤504-步骤505可以在步骤501之前执行,也可以和步骤501同时执行,还可以在步骤501与步骤502之间执行,不予限制。此外,本申请不限制步骤502和步骤503的执行顺序,二者可以同时执行,也可以先后执行,不予限制。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例所述的测量可以指RRM等测量,除在NCSG的ML内 对MO进行RRM测量之外,终端还可以在NCSG的ML内执行其他测量,如在NCSG的ML内进行终端的服务小区的L1测量或者其它可以基于NCSG的测量等,提高资源利用率,同时,避免了基于NCSG的测量对L1测量以及其他测量的影响。
基于图5所示方法,对于一组MO确定该组MO采用的测量间隔类型,根据确定的测量间隔类型确定NCSG的参数以及进行RRM测量,无需为该组MO中需要NCSG的每个MO分配NCSG pattern,而是关联同一MG pattern,根据该MG pattern确定NCSG的参数,降低测量间隔配置的复杂度,以及实现MG与NCSG之间的切换。同时,规范NCSG的ML内的测量行为,可以实现在NCSG的ML内进行两个或者两个以上的MO的测量,实现快速测量。
下面结合图6所示附图,对5所示过程进行详细介绍。
图6为本申请实施例提供的又一种测量方法,如图6所示,可以包括:
步骤601:网络设备为第一组MO配置MG pattern,以及向终端发送第一信息。
其中,MG pattern、第一组MO以及第一信息的相关描述可参照步骤501中所述,网络设备配置MG pattern的方式也可参照步骤501中所述,不予赘述。
应理解,根据第一信息的设计形式的不同,网络设备为终端配置MG pattern,以及向终端发送第一信息可以同时执行,也可以先后执行,不予限制。
步骤602:终端根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,如果终端根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG,则执行步骤603-步骤605;如果终端根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为MG,则在MG内对第一组MO中需要MG的MO以及需要NCSG的MO进行测量,即需要NCSG的MO仅在MG内测量,同时在MG的MGL内中断服务小区上的数据传输。
其中,第一组MO的相关描述可参照步骤501中所述,不予赘述。
示例性的,终端根据第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型的执行过程可参照步骤501中所述,比如,根据第一信息的指示确定测量间隔类型,或者在第一信息的指示下根据第一规则确定测量间隔类型。具体的执行过程可参照上述,不予赘述。
步骤603:终端根据MG pattern对应的参数确定NCSG的参数。
示例性的,终端根据网络设备为终端配置的MG pattern对应的参数确定NCSG的参数可以包括:终端将MG pattern对应的MGRP作为NCSG的VIRP,即NCSG的VIRP的时长取值与MG pattern对应的MGRP的时长取值相同;终端将NCSG的VIRP中去除NCSG的第一VIL和第二VIL后的时间长度作为NCSG的ML。
比如,以图1和图2为例,假设图1所示MG中包含测量前的射频调整时间(part1),测量时间(part2)和测量后的射频调整时间(part3)的,终端可以认为part1时长等于第一VIL,图1所示MG中的part3的时长等于第二VIL,终端可以将图1中的MGRP作为图2中的VIRP,将图1所示MGL中去除part1和part3后的part2部分作为NCSG的ML。
一种可能的设计中,不论在上行数据调度场景下,还是在下行数据调度场景下,第一VIL的时长以及第二VIL的时长可以设置为等于网络设备为终端配置的MG pattern对应的VIL的时长。如此可以通过定义终端在第一VIL以及第二VIL后的一段时间内的上行传输行为,延长第一VIL和第二VIL内上行数据发送的中断时长。又一种可能的设计中,在上行数据调度下,第一VIL和第二VIL的时长可以设置为大于网络设备为终端配置的MG  pattern对应的VIL的时长,如此可以延长第一VIL和第二VIL内上行数据发送的中断时长。再一种可能的设计中,在上行数据调度下,第一VIL可以设置为大于网络设备为终端配置的MG pattern对应的VIL的时长,而第二VIL的时长设置为等于MG pattern对应的VIL,如此可以延长第一VIL内上行数据发送的中断时长,可以通过定义终端在第二VIL或者NCSG后的一段时间内的上行传输行为,延长第二VIL内上行数据发送的中断时长。
需要说明的是,在上行数据调度场景下,是否在第一VIL和第二VIL后的一段时间内进行上行传输可以根据终端内部实现来决定。终端希望延长开/关MO对应的射频后上行数据发送的中断时长,可能的原因是上行传输的定时相比于下行测量的定时有提前量,因此终端实际发送上行数据的时间可能和开启或调整MO对应的射频产生中断的时间有交叠。
其中,MG pattern对应的VIL可以根据需要预先定义。对于per UE的MG pattern,或者per FR且对应第一FR(比如FR1)的MG pattern,MG pattern对应的VIL可以设置为0.5ms;对于per FR且对应第二FR(比如FR2)的MG pattern,MG pattern对应的VIL可以设置为0.25ms。
例如,以第一FR为FR1为例。假设per UE的MG pattern,或者per FR且对应FR1的MG pattern对应的VIL设置为0.5ms,则对于下行数据调度,NCSG中以MG pattern的MGL的起始位置为起点时间长度为0.5ms的时间为第一VIL(或称为VIL1或者前VIL),MG pattern的MGL中最后的0.5ms的时间为第二VIL(或称为VIL2或者后VIL),在这前0.5ms和后0.5ms的时间内服务小区上产生数据中断。上行数据调度场景下,如果第一VIL的时长大于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长,第二VIL的时长等于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长,则NCSG中以NCSG的起始位置为起点时间长度为0.5ms的时间长度及其后x个slot(比如1或者2个slot)所占用的时长为第一VIL,NCSG中最后的0.5ms的长度为第二VIL,在这前0.5ms+x个slot和后0.5ms的时间内服务小区上产生数据中断,此外可以定义终端在第二VIL的时长或者NCSG后的x个slot是否进行上行传输由UE实现确定。应理解,x个slot的数量可以根据需要设置,不予限制。
又例如,以第二FR为FR2为例,假设per FR且对应FR2的MG pattern对应的VIL设置为0.25ms,则对于下行数据调度,NCSG中以NCSG的起始位置为起点时间长度为0.25ms的时间长度为第一VIL(或称为VIL1或者前VIL),NCSG中最后的0.25ms的时间长度为第二VIL(或称为VIL2或者后VIL),在这前0.25ms和后0.25ms的时间内服务小区上产生数据中断;而对于上行数据调度,如果第一VIL的时长大于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长,第二VIL的时长等于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长,则NCSG中以NCSG的起始位置为起点时间长度为0.25ms的时间长度及其后y个slot(比如1或者2个slot)所占用的时长为第一VIL,NCSG中最后的0.25ms的slot为第二VIL,在这前0.25ms+y个slot和后0.25ms的时间内服务小区上产生数据中断,此外可以定义终端在第二VIL的时长或者NCSG后的y个slot是否进行上行传输由UE实现确定。应理解,y个slot的数量可以根据需要设置,不予限制。
步骤604:终端根据NCSG的参数确定NCSG的ML内的测量行为。
示例性的,NCSG的ML内的测量行为可以包括下述两种测量行为:
第一种测量行为:如果终端支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量,则终端在NCSG的ML内测量第二类MO和第三类MO;终端测量第二类MO和第三类MO时的测 量行为与终端在MG的MGL之外的测量行为相同。如此,可以在终端支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量的情况下,对两种或者两种以上的MO进行RRM测量,实现更快的测量。
其中,对于第一种测量行为,定义第二类和第三类MO的测量要求时认为NCSG的ML内的测量资源对于第三类MO是可用资源,但NCSG的ML内的测量机会在第二类MO和第三类MO之间共享。具体的,可以通过MG外的载波特有缩放因子(carrier specific scaling factor,CSSF)实现第二类MO和第三类MO之间共享测量机会。
第二种测量行为:如果终端不支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量,则终端在NCSG的ML内仅测量第二类MO,不测量第三类MO;终端测量第二类MO时的测量行为与终端在MG的MGL之内的测量行为相同,第三类MO的测量行为与终端在MG的MGL之外的测量行为相同。如此,可以在终端不支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量的情况下,重用现有MGL内的测量行为,简化系统设计且实现测量行为的兼容。
其中,对于第二种测量行为,定义第二类和第三类MO的测量要求时认为NCSG的ML内的测量资源对第三类MO是不可用资源,第二类MO之间共享NCSG的ML内的测量机会,例如通过MG内的CSSF因子实现第二类MO之间测量机会的共享。第三类MO之间共享NCSG的ML外的测量机会,例如通过MG外的CSSF因子实现第三类MO之间的测量机会的共享。
其中,终端是否支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量可以是协议中预定义/默认终端支持或者不支持,或者,终端是否支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量是终端的能力信息中的一种信息,终端可以将该能力信息上报给网络设备,如终端向网络设备发送第三信息,第三信息用于指示终端是否支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量,以便网络设备根据第三信息确实终端的测量时延,比如网络设备可以根据第三信息对终端的测量时延做出估计,并根据自己对测量时延的需要,调整MO或者MG的配置。
本申请实施例中,终端在MG的MGL之内的测量行为可以包括终端对MO进行RRM测量,终端的服务小区上的数据传输(比如上行数据传输或者下行数据传输)中断。终端在MG的MGL之外的测量行为可以包括:终端与网络设备之间在服务小区上进行数据传输、以及终端对两个或者两个以上的MO进行RRM测量。
本申请中,第二类MO可以包括需要NCSG的MO,仅在开启和/或关闭第二类MO对应的射频链时服务小区上产生数据中断,而在ML内对第二类MO进行测量时不影响服务小区上的数据传输,第二类MO只能在MG和NCSG内测量。
本申请中,第三类MO可以包括不需要MG以及NCSG的MO,即包括不需要MG也不需要NCSG的MO,或者可以替换描述为第三类MO包括需要无间隔(no-gap)的MO,对第三类MO的测量不会带来服务小区的数据中断。需要no-gap的MO进行测量时不存在测量间隔,对需要no-gap的MO进行测量的过程中不会对服务小区上的数据传输产生影响,服务小区上的数据不会中断。可选的,需要no-gap的MO不在MGL内测量,而是根据步骤604所述的判断方式确定是否可以在NCSG的ML内测量。
例如,以终端为UE为例,UE当前有2个服务小区,这两个服务小区分别在f1和f2频点上,有4个测量目标(MO),这4个MO分别在频点f1,f2,f3和f4上。通过UE能力上报或者预定义规则,网络设备可以确定UE对每个MO的测量需要的是{MG,NCSG, no-gap}中哪一个,将结果通知给UE。假设这4个MO中,f1,f2和f3是需要NCSG的MO,而f4是需要no-gap的MO。如果UE支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量,则UE在NCSG的ML内可以同时测量f1、f2、f3和f4;而如果UE不支持在NCSG的ML内进行第三类MO的测量,则UE在NCSG的ML内仅测量f1、f2和f3,不测量f4。
步骤605:终端根据第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,确定终端的服务小区上的数据传输行为。
其中,在数据传输为下行传输的情况下,步骤605的执行过程可参照步骤503中所述,比如:终端确定在NCSG的第一VIL和第二VIL内中断服务小区上的下行传输,在NCSG的ML内或者NCSG之后进行服务小区上的下行传输。
其中,在数据传输为上行数据传输的情况下,步骤605的执行过程可以包括:在NCSG的第一VIL和第二VIL内中断服务小区上的下行传输,在NCSG的ML内或者NCSG之后是否进行服务小区上的上行传输取决于终端的内部实现,比如:
在第一VIL和第二VIL的时长等于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长的情况下,终端在NCSG的第一VIL之后(如第一VIL之后的n个时隙(slot)或者符号(symbol)内)是否进行上行传输由终端自己决定,终端在NCSG的第二VIL之后(如第二VIL之后的n个slot或symbol内)是否进行上行传输由终端自己决定,终端的这种行为与终端在MG之后若干slot或symbol内的上行发送行为(即决定是否进行上行传输)类似,即上行数据调度场景下,终端在第一VIL之后、第二VIL之后或者在MG之后的一段时间内是否进行上行传输取决于终端内部实现,比如,即使网络设备调度终端设备在所述一段时间内进行上行传输,如果终端决定发送上行数据,则发送,如果终端决定不发送上行数据,不发送。
在第一VIL的时长大于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长,第二VIL的时长等于MG pattern对应的VIL的时长的情况下,终端在NCSG的第二VIL之后(如第二VIL之后的若干slot或者symbol内)是否进行上行传输由终端自己决定,终端的这种行为与终端在MG之后若干slot或symbol内的上行发送行为(即决定是否进行上行传输)类似,即上行数据调度场景下,终端在第二VIL之后是否进行上行传输取决于终端内部实现。
如此,可以重用上行数据调度场景下终端的上行传输行为,简化系统设计以及实现兼容,提高终端进行上行传输的自主性。
其中,本申请实施例中,第二VIL之后可以替换描述为NCSG之后。此外,本申请所述的n的取值不予限制,n可以为大于或等于0的整数,n可以在协议预先定义或者根据终端的通信参数确定。上述第一VIL之后的n个时间单元、第二VIL之后的n个时间单元的数量和/或时间长度可以相同或者不同,不予限制。本申请所述的时间单元可以包括但不限于slot、symbol等。
步骤606:网络设备确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型是MG还是NCSG,如果第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为NCSG,则根据MG pattern对应的参数确定NCSG的参数,根据所述第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型对终端进行数据调度。
进一步可选的;如果第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型为MG,则将MG pattern对应的参数作为MG的参数,同时,在MG的MGL内对终端不进行调度,而是在MG的MGL之后对终端进行数据调度。
其中,第一组MO的相关描述可参照上述,网络设备确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔 类型是MG还是NCSG的过程可参照步骤504中所述,网络设备根据MG pattern对应的参数确定NCSG的参数可参照上述终端根据MG pattern对应的参数确定NCSG的参数的过程,不予赘述。
其中,网络设备根据所述第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型对终端进行数据调度的执行过程可参照步骤505中所述,比如,对于网络设备侧,由于第一VIL和第二VIL之后的一段时间内的上行传输行为取决于终端的内部实现,此时,为了降低网络设备的功率消耗,可以在第一VIL和第二VIL之后的一段时间内不进行调度,但是,第一VIL和第二VIL之后的一段时间结束后,网络设备可以调度上行数据的正常传输,如当数据调度为上行数据调度时,网络设备生成调度信息,并向终端发送该调度信息,该调度信息可以用于调度终端在第一VIL之后的n个时隙slot或符号symbol结束后进行上行传输,以及调度终端在第二VIL之后的n个slot或symbol结束后进行上行传输。
如此,网络设备可以在第一VIL之后的n个slot或symbol结束后调度终端进行上行传输,不影响终端的上行传输,同时,避免网络设备在第一VIL之后的n个时隙slot或符号symbol内调度终端进行上行传输,而终端在此时间段基于内部实现不进行上行传输,导致上行传输调度失败,给网络设备带来功率消耗和资源浪费的问题。
需要说明的是,本申请不限于步骤606的执行顺序,步骤606可以在步骤601之前执行,也可以和步骤601或者步骤602或步骤603同时执行,还可以在步骤602和步骤603之间执行,不予限制。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例所述的测量可以包括但不限于RRM测量,除在NCSG的ML内对MO进行RRM测量之外,终端还可以在NCSG的ML内执行其他测量,如在NCSG的ML内进行终端的服务小区的L1测量以及其他测量等,提高资源利用率,同时,避免对L1测量以及其他测量的影响。
基于图6所示方法,通过将一个MG pattern在MG和NCSG之间的复用,简化了NCSG配置的信令设计,使能终端重用现有的MG的测量行为,并实现MG和NCSG之间快速切换。同时,根据终端是否支持在NCSG的ML内测量不需要MG的MO的情况,允许终端在NCSG的ML时间内测量或者不测量其它不需要MG的MO,区分了不同的终端实现,使得可以支持同时测量两类MO的终端可以实现更快的测量,不能支持同时测量两类MO的终端可以重用现有的实现方式,简化系统设计且实现兼容。
除了上述方法实施例中设计的NCSG内或NCSG外的测量行为之外,针对待测的MO(比如上述第一组MO),本申请实施例还提供如下测量行为:
一种可能的设计中,第一组MO包括的MO对应第一测量行为,即第一组MO包括的所有MO对应相同的测量行为。第一组MO包括的MO可以在NCSG内测量,也可以在NCSG外测量,此时意味着终端在测量时不会将NCSG视为特殊的测量机会用于测量部分MO,也不会将NCSG视为不可用的测量机会。
该可能的设计中,第一组MO可以包括第三类MO,如上所述,第三类MO可以包括不需要MG以及NCSG的MO。比如在第一组MO可以仅包括第三类MO的情况下,可以第三类MO包括的所有MO采用第一测量行为进行测量。
该可能的设计中,第一组MO可以包括第二类MO和第三类MO,如上所述,第二类MO可以包括需要NCSG的MO,第三类MO可以包括不需要MG以及NCSG的MO。此 时,如果终端支持在NCSG内测量第二类MO和第三类MO,则第一组MO包括的第二类MO和第三类MO均可以适用于第一测量行为,使用第一测量行为在NCSG内或NCSG外进行测量。
在第一组MO包括第三类MO的情况下,如果第三类MO包括去激活MO,则终端确定为该去激活MO提供测量中断在NCSG的VIL内,即可以在NCSG的VIL内开启或关闭MO对应的射频,这种情况下,可以不允许终端为去激活MO测量产生额外中断,允许终端设备通过开启关闭射频节省终端的功率消耗,以及通过VIL控制终端设备由于开关射频产生中断的位置,提高资源利用率。
本申请实施例中,第一测量行为可以包括下述一种或多种:(1)每个MO对应的缩放因子CSSF根据第一计算方式得到,该第一计算方式为MG外测量时所用的计算方式。如此,第一组MO包括的所有MO可以共用相同测量资源,此外由于第一计算方式中终端设备可以同时测量两个MO,可以降低测量时延。(2)L3测量的缩放因子Kp=1,即NCSG不会减少L3测量的测量机会,保证L3测量的正常进行。(3)L1测量的缩放因子Klayer1根据NCSG内和NCSG外的所有L1测量参考信号的测量周期确定。(4)NCSG与同步信号和物理广播信道块(synchronization signal and PBCH block,SSB)测量时间配置(SSB measurement timing configuration,SMTC)重叠时计算缩放因子CSSF所用的计算方式与NCSG与SMTC未重叠时计算缩放因子CSSF所用的计算方式相同。
本申请实施例中,在确定某个MO对应的缩放因子Klayer1时,终端设备确定是否存在L1测量与该MO的测量在时间上交叠,即该MO测量的参考信号与一个或多个服务小区上的NCSG内和NCSG外的L1测量参考信号在时间上交叠。如果存在所述L1测量,终端设备确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量是否需要共享测量机会,即该MO的测量与所述L1测量是否可以使用不同的接收波束。例如,如果该MO的测量与所述L1测量在相同的频段内,则确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量需要共享测量激活,缩放因子Klayer1>1,如果该MO的测量与所述L1测量在不同的频段内且UE支持在所述两个频段上使用独立的接收波束,则则确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量需要共享测量激活,缩放因子Klayer1=1。
本申请实施例中,NCSG与SMTC重叠可以指SMTC落入NCSG中或者SMTC属于NCSG中,比如SMTC的时间起点晚于NCSG的时间起点,SMTC的时间结束点早于NCSG的时间结束点。NCSG与SMTC未重叠可以指SMTC全部在NCSG外或者SMTC中的部分在NCSG外等,不予限制。
又一种可能的设计中,第一组MO中的部分MO可以在NCSG内测量,部分MO可以在NCSG外测量,NCSG内测量的MO对应的测量行为与NCSG外测量的MO对应的测量行为不同。比如第一MO中的第一部分MO对应第二测量行为,第二部分MO对应第三测量行为,第二测量行为与第三测量行为是不同的。
该可能的设计中,终端设备在测量时将NCSG视为特殊的测量机会用于测量部分MO。
该可能的设计中,第一组MO可以包括第二类MO和第三类MO。在终端不支持在NCSG内测量第二类MO以及第三类M O的情况下,第一部分MO可以包括第二类MO,即第二类MO在NCSG内测量,对应第二测量行为。第二部分MO可以包括第三类MO,即第三类MO可以在NCSG外测量,对应第三测量行为。
需要说明的是,如果第三类MO包括去激活MO,由于不能在NCSG内的VIL为去激 活MO提供测量中断,则终端可以确定为该去激活MO提供额外的测量中断,即允许终端为去激活MO测量产生额外中断,保证去激活MO对应的射频通道的开启/关闭,确保去激活MO的正常测量。
该可能的设计中,第一组MO可以仅包括第三类MO。如果第三类MO包括去激活MO,第一部分MO可以包括第三类MO中的去激活MO,即去激活MO可以在NCSG内测量,对应第二测量行为,终端可以在NCSG内的VIL为去激活MO提供测量中断,去激活MO不产生额外的测量中断,此时不允许终端为去激活MO测量产生额外中断。第二部分MO可以包括第三类MO中除去激活MO之外的其他MO,即第三类MO中除去激活MO之外的其他MO可以在NCSG外测量,对应第三测量行为。
该可能的设计中,第一组MO可以包括第二类MO和第三类MO。在终端支持在NCSG内测量第二类MO以及第三类MO的情况下,第一部分MO可以包括第二类MO,即第二类MO在NCSG内测量,对应第二测量行为。而第三类MO是否可以包括在第一部分MO中在NCSG内测量或者第三类MO包括的去激活MO是否可以包括在第一部分MO在NCSG内测量,可以根据网络配置或预设规则确定。下面对第三类MO以及第三类MO包括的去激活MO的测量行为进行描述:
一种实现方式中,终端在NCSG内仅测量第二类MO,在NCSG外测量第三类MO,如果第三类MO中包含去激活辅载波(secondary component carrier,SCC),由于不能在NCSG内的VIL为去激活MO提供测量中断,允许终端为去激活SCC测量产生额外中断,即终端可以确定为该去激活MO提供额外的测量中断,保证去激活MO对应的射频通道的开启/关闭,去激活MO的正常测量。
又一种实现方式中,终端在NCSG内测量第二类MO和去激活SCC,在NCSG外测量第三类MO中除去激活MO之外的其他MO,对应第三测量行为。终端可以在NCSG内的VIL为去激活MO提供测量中断,不允许终端为去激活SCC测量产生额外中断。
本申请实施例中,第二测量行为包括下述一种或者多种:(1)NCSG内每个MO对应的缩放因子CSSF根据第二计算方式得到,第二计算方式为MG内测量时所用的计算方式。(2)L1测量的缩放因子Klayer1根据NCSG内的L1测量参考信号的测量周期确定。
本申请实施例中,在确定某个MO对应的缩放因子Klayer1时,终端设备确定是否存在L1测量与该MO的测量在时间上交叠,即该MO测量的参考信号与一个或多个服务小区上的NCSG内的L1测量参考信号在时间上交叠。如果存在所述L1测量,终端设备确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量是否需要共享测量机会,即该MO的测量与所述L1测量是否可以使用不同的接收波束。例如,如果该MO的测量与所述L1测量在相同的频段内,则确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量需要共享测量激活,缩放因子Klayer1>1,如果该MO的测量与所述L1测量在不同的频段内且UE支持在所述两个频段上使用独立的接收波束,则则确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量需要共享测量激活,缩放因子Klayer1=1。
本申请实施例中,第三测量行为包括下述一种或者多种:(1)NCSG与SMTC未重叠时,NCSG外每个MO对应的缩放因子CSSF根据MG外测量时所用的计算方式确定。(2)NCSG与SMTC未重叠时,L3测量的缩放因子Kp大于1。(3)NCSG与SMTC未重叠时,L1测量的缩放因子Klayer1根据NCSG外的L1测量参考信号的测量周期确定。(4)NCSG与SMTC重叠时计算缩放因子CSSF所用的计算方式为MG内的计算方式, L1测量的缩放因子Klayer1根据NCSG内的L1测量参考信号的测量周期确定。
本申请实施例中,在确定某个MO对应的缩放因子Klayer1时,终端设备确定是否存在L1测量与该MO的测量在时间上交叠,即该MO测量的参考信号与一个或多个服务小区上的NCSG内和NCSG外的L1测量参考信号在时间上交叠。如果存在所述L1测量,终端设备确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量是否需要共享测量机会,即该MO的测量与所述L1测量是否可以使用不同的接收波束。例如,如果该MO的测量与所述L1测量在相同的频段内,则确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量需要共享测量激活,缩放因子Klayer1>1,如果该MO的测量与所述L1测量在不同的频段内且UE支持在所述两个频段上使用独立的接收波束,则则确定该MO的测量与所述L1测量需要共享测量激活,缩放因子Klayer1=1。
上述方案可以对所有的待测MO采用统一的测量行为,或者将待测MO分为NCSG内测量和NCSG外测量两种,保障测量的灵活性。同时,明确了终端测量去激活MO的中断要求,为终端决策是否为去激活MO提供测量中断提供可行性方案。
在一种可能的实现方式中,上述实施例中的第一组MO包括去激活SCC。若终端确定第一组MO对应测量间隔类型为NCSG,则终端可以通过如下方法对去激活SCC进行测量。其中,终端可以根据上述实施例中的第一信息确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型。
在一种可能的设计中,步骤502包括:终端根据NCSG的参数和去激活SCC的属性信息,确定对去激活SCC的测量行为;或者,终端根据去激活SCC的属性信息,确定对去激活SCC的测量行为。具体的,可以参考下面情况(1)和情况(2)中的介绍。
情况(1),终端根据NCSG的参数和去激活SCC的属性信息,确定对去激活SCC的测量行为。
其中,NCSG的参数包括ML和VIRP。去激活SCC的属性信息包括去激活SCC的SMTC。
一种可能的实现方式,若NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC完全或部分重叠,则终端在NCSG内测量去激活SCC;或者,若NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC不重叠,则终端在NCSG外测量去激活SCC。
本申请实施例中,NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC完全重叠可以指去激活SCC的全部SMTC落入NCSG中的ML中。具体来说,在时域上,去激活SCC的SMTC可以对应至少一个第一时间段,ML可以包括至少一个第二时间段,该至少一个第一时间段中的任意一个第一时间段都包括在一个第二时间段中。以两个第一时间段和两个第二时间段为例进行说明,若第一个第一时间段在第10ms至第13ms,第二个第一时间段在第30ms至第33ms,第一个第二时间段在第10ms至第15ms,第二个第二时间段在第30ms至第35ms,则NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC完全重叠。或者,若第一个第一时间段在第10ms至第15ms,第二个第一时间段在第30ms至第35ms,第一个第二时间段在第10ms至第15ms,第二个第二时间段在第30ms至第35ms,则NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC完全重叠。
本申请实施例中,NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC部分重叠可以指去激活SCC的部分SMTC落入NCSG中的ML中。具体来说,在时域上,去激活SCC的SMTC可以对应多个第一时间段,ML可以包括至少一个第二时间段,该多个第一时间段中的部分第一时间段包括在一个第二时间段中。可以理解的,在NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC部分重叠的情况下,终端在和去激活SCC的SMTC有重叠的NCSG内测量去激活SCC。以两个第一 时间段和两个第二时间段为例进行说明,若第一个第一时间段在第10ms至第13ms,第二个第一时间段在第30ms至第33ms,第一个第二时间段在第10ms至第15ms,第二个第二时间段在第50ms至第55ms,则NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC部分重叠,终端可以在第一个第一时间段内测量去激活SCC,不在第二个第一时间段内测量去激活SCC。
本申请实施例中,NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC不重叠可以指去激活SCC的全部SMTC未落入NCSG中的ML中。具体来说,在时域上,去激活SCC的SMTC可以对应至少一个第一时间段,ML可以包括至少一个第二时间段,该至少一个第一时间段中的任意一个第一时间段都未包括在一个第二时间段中。以两个第一时间段和两个第二时间段为例进行说明,若第一个第一时间段在第8ms至第13ms,第二个第一时间段在第28ms至第33ms,第一个第二时间段在第10ms至第15ms,第二个第二时间段在第30ms至第35ms,则NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC不重叠。或者,若第一个第一时间段在第5ms至第8ms,第二个第一时间段在第25ms至第28ms,第一个第二时间段在第10ms至第15ms,第二个第二时间段在第30ms至第35ms,则NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC不重叠。
本申请实施例中,在NCSG内测量可以理解为在NCSG中的ML内测量。在NCSG外测量可以理解为在除ML和VIL之外的时间段测量。也就是说,对于任意一个VIRP,在NCSG内测量可以是在VIRP中的ML内测量,在NCSG外测量可以是在VIRP中除ML和VIL之外的时间进行测量。以图2所示的VIRP为例,在NCSG内测量是在VIRP中的ML内测量,在NCSG外测量是在VIRP中除ML、第一VIL和第二VIL之外的时间进行测量。
可以理解的,在情况(1)中,网络设备可以通过控制NCSG和去激活SCC的SMTC的重叠关系控制终端的测量行为(如在NCSG内测量或在NCSG外测量),使得网络设备在配置NCSG时,不必让NCSG完全覆盖去激活SCC的SMTC,配置起来较为灵活,简便。
情况(2),终端根据去激活SCC的属性信息,确定对去激活SCC的测量行为。
其中,去激活SCC的属性信息包括测量周期。该测量周期为去激活SCC对应的SCell的测量周期,可以表示为MeasCycleSCell。测量周期可以是网络设备通过RRC信令配置的。
一种可能的实现方式,若测量周期大于或等于第一数值,则终端在NCSG内测量去激活SCC;或者,若测量周期小于第一数值,则终端在NCSG外测量去激活SCC。
其中,第一数值可以是网络设备配置的,或者协议中定义的。作为一种示例,第一数值为640ms。
一种可能的设计,在测量周期大于或等于第一数值的情况下,对去激活SCC的测量是允许产生中断的。本申请实施例中,对去激活SCC的测量产生中断,可以理解为在测量周期大于或等于第一数值的情况下,去激活SCC的测量可能对其他服务小区的测量或其他服务小区的数据传输产生影响,或者说,使得其他服务小区的测量或其他服务小区的数据传输中断,或者说,其他服务小区可能不能进行测量或者数据传输。在这种情况下,可以配置NCSG与去激活SCC的SMTC完全或部分重叠,如此,终端可以将对去激活SCC的测量引起的中断包括在VIL内,例如,终端在VIL内开启去激活SCC对应的射频链或者关闭去激活SCC对应的射频链,这样,可以避免引入额外的中断。
一种可能的设计,在测量周期小于第一数值的情况下,对去激活SCC的测量是不允许 产生中断的。本申请实施例中,对去激活SCC的测量不产生中断,可以理解为去激活SCC的测量不会对其他服务小区的测量或其他服务小区的数据传输产生影响,或者说,不会使得其他服务小区的测量或其他服务小区的数据传输中断,或者说,其他服务小区能够进行测量或者数据传输。在这种情况下,终端可以在NCSG外测量去激活SCC,网络设备在配置NCSG时,不必让NCSG完全覆盖去激活SCC的SMTC,实现在NCSG内测量,配置起来较为灵活,简便。
对于上述情况(1)或情况(2),若终端在NCSG内测量去激活SCC,则去激活SCC被计算在NCSG内测量的CSSF内;或者,若终端在NCSG外测量去激活SCC,则去激活SCC被计算在NCSG外测量的CSSF内。其中,在NCSG内测量的CSSF可以指示在NCSG内测量的频点数量。在NCSG外测量的CSSF可以指示在NCSG外测量的频点数量。
其中,去激活SCC被计算在NCSG内测量的CSSF内,可以理解为去激活SCC包括在NCSG内测量的CSSF内,或者去激活SCC被包含在NCSG内测量的CSSF内,或者在计算NCSG内测量的CSSF时会将去激活SCC计算在里面,或者在计算NCSG内测量的CSSF时考虑去激活SCC。类似的,去激活SCC被计算在NCSG外测量的CSSF内,可以理解为去激活SCC包括在NCSG外测量的CSSF内,或者去激活SCC被包含在NCSG外测量的CSSF内,或者在计算NCSG外测量的CSSF时会将去激活SCC计算在里面,或者在计算NCSG外测量的CSSF时考虑去激活SCC。
在一种可能的实现方式中,对于上述情况(1)或情况(2),若终端在NCSG内测量去激活SCC,则去激活SCC的测量不产生中断。可以理解的,终端在NCSG内测量去激活SCC的情况下,可以将对去激活SCC的测量引起的中断包括在VIL内,例如,终端在VIL内开启去激活SCC对应的射频链或者关闭去激活SCC对应的射频链,因此,去激活SCC的测量不产生中断。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,对于上述情况(1)或情况(2),若终端在NCSG内测量去激活SCC,则去激活SCC的测量对与去激活SCC所在频段不同的频段内的激活小区不产生中断,对与去激活SCC所在频段相同的频段内的激活小区产生中断。
其中,与去激活SCC所在频段不同的频段内的激活小区(以下简称不同频段激活小区)可以理解为该激活小区所在的频段与去激活SCC所在的频段不同。在这种情况下,终端可以将对去激活SCC的测量引起的中断包括在VIL内,例如,终端在VIL内开启去激活SCC对应的射频链或者关闭去激活SCC对应的射频链,因此,去激活SCC的测量不产生中断。与去激活SCC所在频段相同的频段内的激活小区(以下简称同频段激活小区)可以理解为该激活小区所在的频段与去激活SCC所在的频段相同。在这种情况下,除了开启或关闭射频链对该同频段激活小区有影响之外,还可能有其他的原因会影响该同频段激活小区,如终端开启射频链后,对功率进行调整的时间段内也会影响该同频段激活小区。若功率调整的时间段未能包括在VIL内,会对同频段激活小区产生中断。
对于上述情况(1),因为终端开启去激活SCC对应的射频链或者关闭去激活SCC对应的射频链时会产生中断,所以终端在NCSG外测量去激活SCC,可能会对去激活SCC的测量产生中断。对于上述情况(2),因为在测量周期小于第一数值的情况下,对去激活SCC的测量是不允许产生中断的,例如,终端可以一直开启去激活SCC对应的射频链,所以终端在NCSG外测量去激活SCC,不会对去激活SCC的测量产生中断。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端确定了第一组MO中的任意一个MO的测量行为后,还可以确定第一服务小区的L1测量行为。例如,终端可以在步骤502之后,或步骤604之后,或终端确定对去激活SCC的测量行为之后,确定第一服务小区的L1测量行为。其中,第一服务小区为终端的服务小区。例如,第一服务小区为频点在频域范围2(frequency range 2,FR2)中的服务小区;第一服务小区的L1测量包括终端对第一服务小区的无线链路监测(Radio Link Monitoring,RLM)测量、波束失败检测(Beam Failure Detection,BFD)测量或L1-RSRP测量等。
一种可能的实现方式,若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和所有在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间具备独立波束管理能力,则终端在NCSG内进行第一服务小区的L1测量;或者,若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和任意一个在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间不具备独立波束管理能力,则终端在NCSG外进行第一服务小区的L1测量。
其中,若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和任意一个在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间不具备独立波束管理能力,则终端在NCSG外进行第一服务小区的L1测量可以理解为:终端在除第一服务小区所在的频段和所有在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间具备独立波束管理能力之外的情况下,终端在NCSG外进行第一服务小区的L1测量。也就是说,终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和N个在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间不具备独立波束管理能力,则终端在NCSG外进行第一服务小区的L1测量。其中,N为正整数,N小于或等于所有在NCSG内的测量目标频点的数量。
示例性的,以终端确定频点1至频点3在NCSG内测量,其中频点1和频点2属于频段1,频点3属于频段2为例,若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和频段1之间支持独立波束管理能力,在第一服务小区所在的频段和频段2之间不支持独立波束管理能力,则终端在NCSG外进行第一服务小区的L1测量。若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和频段1之间不支持独立波束管理能力,在第一服务小区所在的频段和频段2之间不支持独立波束管理能力,则终端在NCSG外进行第一服务小区的L1测量。若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和频段1之间支持独立波束管理能力,在第一服务小区所在的频段和频段2之间支持独立波束管理能力,则终端在NCSG内进行第一服务小区的L1测量。
本申请实施例中,终端在两个频段之间具备独立波束管理能力是指终端在这两个频段上的可以使用独立的接收波束来接收信息。终端在NCSG内进行第一服务小区的L1测量可以理解为终端在NCSG内对所述第一服务小区进行L1测量,终端在NCSG外进行第一服务小区的L1测量可以理解为终端在NCSG外对所述第一服务小区进行L1测量。
可以理解的,若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和所有在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间具备独立波束管理能力,则终端对测量目标频点的测量(即测量目标频点的L3测量)不会影响第一服务小区的L1测量,或者说,第一服务小区的L1测量不受该测量目标频点的L3测量的影响。因此,终端可以在NCSG内进行第一服务小区的L1测量。若终端在第一服务小区所在的频段和任意一个在NCSG内的测量目标频点所在的频段之间不具备独立波束管理能力,则终端对一个或多个测量目标频点的L3测量会影响第一服务小区的L1测量,或者说,第一服务小区的L1测量受到该一个或多个测量目标频点的L3测量的影响。因此,终端不能在NCSG内进行第一服务小区的L1测量,终端可以在NCSG 外进行第一服务小区的L1测量。在上述过程中,可以在第一服务小区的L1测量不受测量目标频点的L3测量的影响的情况下,在NCSG内进行第一服务小区的L1测量,相比于MG测量的方式,减少了目标频点的L3测量对第一服务小区的L1测量的影响,增加了L1测量的机会,降低了L1测量时延。
上述主要从各个节点之间交互的角度对本申请实施例提供的方案进行了介绍。可以理解的是,各个节点,例如网络设备、终端为了实现上述功能,其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和/或软件模块。本领域技术人员应该很容易意识到,结合本文中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的算法步骤,本申请实施例的方法能够以硬件、软件、或硬件和计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件还是计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。专业技术人员可以对每个特定的应用使用不同方法来实现所描述的功能,但这种实现不应认为超出本申请实施例的范围。
本申请实施例可以根据上述方法示例对网络设备、终端进行功能模块的划分,例如,可以对应各个功能划分各个功能模块,也可以将两个或两个以上的功能集成在一个处理模块中。上述集成的模块既可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件功能模块的形式实现。需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对模块的划分是示意性的,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式。
图7示出了一种通信装置70的结构图,该通信装置70可以为终端、终端中的芯片、片上系统或者其他能够实现上述方法中终端的功能的装置等。该通信装置70可以用于执行上述方法实施例中涉及的终端的功能。作为一种可实现方式,图7所示通信装置70包括:处理单元701、发送单元702。
处理单元701,用于确定第一组MO对应的测量间隔类型,测量间隔类型包括测量间隔MG或NCSG。例如,处理单元701可以支持通信装置70执行步骤501、步骤602。
