Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the related application, not to limit the application. It should also be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the relevant application are shown in the drawings.

Common UE states include two types: radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) idle state and RRC connected state (RRC_CONNETED). Among them, the two states of RRC_IDLE and RRC_CONNETED are concepts of the RRC layer. As long as the RRC connection exists, RRC is in RRC_CONNECTED.

The UE needs to support in the link state, that is, RRC_CONNECTED: Intra-frequency measurements, Inter-frequency measurements and Inter-RAT measurements.

Among them, the same-frequency measurement is to measure the downlink frequency point of the adjacent cell that is the same as the downlink frequency point of the current serving cell, including the same-frequency cell identification and cell measurement; The downlink frequency of the cell includes inter-frequency cell identification and cell measurement; inter-system measurement includes inter-system cell identification and cell measurement.

To support the above measurements, the NR system defines the configuration of the following information:

SSB measurement timing configurations (SSB measurement timing configurations, SMTC), specifically including the time position, length and period of SSB measurement. Wherein, the cycle of SSB measurement configuration can be configured as 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 160ms.

Measurement gap (Measurement Gap, MG) configuration, specifically including the time position, length and period of the measurement gap. Wherein, the period of the measurement gap can be configured as 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 160ms.

Carrier Specific Scaling Factor (CSSF) is used to lengthen the measurement period.

Meas Gap Sharing Scheme (MGSS), which is used for sharing measurement gaps at different measurement frequency points, is configured by the network. Among them, when MGSS is configured as 00, it means that all frequency points divide the measurement gap equally; when MGSS is configured as 01, it means that 25% of the measurement gap is allocated for the same frequency measurement; 75% of the measurement gap is allocated for inter-frequency and inter-system measurement; MGSS is configured as When 10, it means that 50% of the measurement gap is allocated for the same frequency measurement; 50% of the measurement gap is allocated for the measurement of different frequency and different systems; when the MGSS configuration is 11, it means that 75% of the measurement gap is allocated for the measurement of the same frequency; Allocate 25% of the measurement gap.

For NR intra-frequency measurement, if the measured SSB is within the UE's active bandwidth (active BWP), the UE can complete the intra-frequency measurement task without measurement gaps; if the measured SSB is outside the UE's active bandwidth (active BWP), the UE The same-frequency measurement task needs to be completed during the measurement gap.

For NR inter-frequency measurement, if the measured SSB is within the UE's active bandwidth (active BWP), the UE can complete the inter-frequency measurement task without a measurement gap; if the measured SSB is outside the UE's active bandwidth (active BWP), the UE Inter-frequency measurement tasks need to be completed during measurement gaps.

For inter-system measurement, the UE needs to complete the measurement task in the measurement gap.

At present, a common measurement scheduling method is round-robin scheduling to allocate measurement gaps. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the round-robin scheduling method. and cc3 are all identified as Inter), LTE measurement has no SMTC time domain position restriction, the SMTC identifications of cc1, cc2 and cc3 are all N/A, and the measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 40ms, therefore, from the first measurement gap (slot= 0), the measurement gaps can be assigned to cc1, cc2, and cc3 sequentially according to MGRP through a simple round-robin scheduling method, so as to meet the measurement requirements.

However, the round-robin assignment scheme has problems when there are disparate NR measurements. Figure 2 is the second schematic diagram of the round-robin scheduling method. As shown in Figure 2, in the LTE link state, two inter-frequency frequency points (that is, cc1 and cc2 are marked as Inter) and one different system measurement (that is, cc3 is marked as Irat) are configured. -nr). There is no SMTC time-domain position limitation for LTE measurement, the SMTC identifiers of cc1 and cc2 are both N/A, the SMTC period corresponding to cc3 is configured as 80ms, and the measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 40ms. At this time, if starting from the first measurement gap (slot=0), the measurement slots are allocated to cc1, cc2 and cc3 in sequence through simple round-robin scheduling according to MGRP, and the second one is allocated to cc3 (NR different system) The measurement gap of can not be used for NR measurement, because the SMTC time position of NR is not in this measurement gap, so it will cause waste of measurement gap, resulting in the reduction of measurement performance.

Another common measurement scheduling method is to allocate measurement gaps according to the NR SMTC configuration. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the scheduling method referring to the SMTC configuration. As shown in Figure 3, in the NR link state, seven different frequency points are configured (ie cc1, cc2, cc3, cc4, cc5, cc6 and cc7 are marked as Inter), the SMTC period of cc1, cc2, cc3, cc4, cc5, cc6 is configured as 40ms, the SMTC period of cc7 is configured as 160ms, and the measurement gap repeats period MGRP is 40ms. Therefore, starting from the first measurement gap (slot=0), the measurement gap can be allocated according to the SMTC configuration. Considering that the SMTC period of cc7 is the largest, which is 160ms, you can choose to assign priority to the measurement gap containing cc7SMTC For cc7, the rest of the measurement gaps are allocated to other ccs in cyclic scheduling (the SMTC configurations of other ccs are the same). However, this scheme of allocating measurement gaps according to the SMTC configuration will lead to uneven distribution of measurement gaps for each cc, for example, cc7 gets more measurement gaps than the other 6 ccs.

It can be seen that the current common measurement band scheduling methods all have the problem of unreasonable allocation of measurement gaps, which further leads to the degradation of UE measurement performance.

In order to solve the above problems, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal performs measurement scheduling, it can schedule the measurement gap according to the judgment result of whether there is a new frequency point to be added, and can further introduce a measurement factor at multiple frequency points to be measured The selection of the target frequency point in the process finally makes the frequency point allocated to the measurement gap meet the configuration requirements of the measurement gap and the frequency point at the same time, and then realizes the rational allocation of the measurement gap, thereby improving the UE measurement performance.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

An embodiment of the present application provides a measurement scheduling method. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the implementation flow of the measurement scheduling method. As shown in FIG. 4 , in the embodiment of the present application, the method for the terminal to perform measurement scheduling may include the following steps:

Step 101. Determine multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may first determine multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap. In some embodiments of the present application, the terminal may determine multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information for configuring the measurement gap and the second configuration information for configuring the frequency point.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the current measurement gap may be one of the at least one measurement gap that corresponds to the current moment.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the frequency point to be measured may be at least one frequency point that can be measured in the current measurement gap among all the frequency points included in the measurement objects delivered by the network to the terminal.

Optionally, in this application, the first configuration information may be used to configure the measurement gap, and specifically may be used to configure the time position, time length, and period of the measurement gap. Wherein, the period of the measurement gap can be configured as 20ms or 40ms or 80ms or 160ms and so on.

Correspondingly, in the present application, the second configuration information may be used to configure frequency points, specifically, it may be synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement configuration, which is used to configure the measurement position, time length and period of SSB. Wherein, the cycle of any SSB measurement configuration can be configured as 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, or 160ms, etc.

Among them, the synchronization signal block SSB is the synchronization signal and the physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel, PBCH) block, which consists of three parts: primary synchronization signal (Primary Synchronization Signals, PSS), secondary synchronization signal (Secondary Synchronization Signals, SSS), and PBCH Composed together.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, for all frequency points included in the measurement objects delivered by the network to the terminal, each frequency point corresponds to a second configuration information, that is, the second configuration information corresponding to different frequency points The configuration information is also different accordingly.

It can be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminals can be various electronic devices, including but not limited to mobile phones, notebook computers, digital broadcast receivers, personal digital assistants (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), tablet computers, etc. (PAD), portable multimedia player (Portable Media Player, PMP), vehicle-mounted electronic equipment (such as vehicle navigation electronic equipment), etc., and fixed electronic equipment such as digital television (TV), desktop computer, etc.

It should be noted that the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application can be extended and applied to multi-mode (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G) terminals.

It should be noted that the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application is not limited to terminal products, and is also applicable to other access devices.

Step 102, judging whether there is a newly added frequency point among the plurality of frequency points to be tested, and obtaining a judging result.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap, the terminal may further judge whether there is a newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured, so as to obtain a judgment result.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the judgment result obtained by the terminal may be that there is a newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be tested, or that there is no newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be tested.

Step 103, scheduling the measurement of multiple frequency points to be measured according to the judgment result.

In the embodiment of the present application, after judging whether there is a newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured, and obtaining the judgment result, the terminal may schedule the measurement of the multiple frequency points to be measured according to the judgment result.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can determine the target frequency point from the multiple frequency points to be tested according to the determination result of whether there is a newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be tested, and then the The target frequency point scheduling performs measurement processing in the current measurement gap.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for the terminal to schedule the measurement of multiple frequency points to be measured according to the judgment result may include the following steps:

Step 103a, if the judgment result is that there is a newly added frequency point among the plurality of frequency points to be measured, then determine the newly added frequency point as the target frequency point.

Step 103b, scheduling the target frequency point to perform measurement processing in the current measurement gap.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal schedules the measurement of multiple frequency points to be measured according to the judgment result, if the judgment result is that there are newly added frequency points in the multiple frequency points to be measured, then the terminal can directly add the new The added frequency point is determined as the target frequency point; and then the target frequency point is scheduled for measurement processing in the current measurement gap.

It can be seen that in this application, when the terminal selects the target frequency point, it can preferentially select the newly added frequency points among the multiple frequency points to be measured, so that the frequency points that have not been measured can be measured first to understand the new frequency point. The case of adding frequency points.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are multiple newly added frequency points among the multiple frequency points to be tested, when selecting a target frequency point from the multiple newly added frequency points, the terminal may first determine A plurality of measurement periods corresponding to newly added frequency points; and then determining a newly added frequency point corresponding to a maximum period among the plurality of measurement periods as a target frequency point.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal determines the multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, if the multiple frequency points to be measured include new Add a frequency point, then the terminal can directly determine the newly added frequency point as the target frequency point.

It can be understood that, in this application, for newly added frequency points, the terminal can prioritize measurement scheduling, that is, as long as there are newly added frequency points among the multiple frequency points to be measured, the terminal can directly schedule the newly added frequency point The measurement process is performed in the current measurement gap, so that the frequency point that has not been measured can be measured first, so as to know the situation of the newly added frequency point.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are multiple newly added frequency points among the multiple frequency points to be measured, the terminal may first determine the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple newly added frequency points; The newly added frequency point corresponding to the maximum period among the multiple measurement periods is determined as the target frequency point.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are multiple newly added frequency points in the multiple frequency points to be measured, then the terminal can measure the number of newly added frequency points according to the measurement period corresponding to each newly added frequency point Select the target frequency point.

It should be noted that, in this application, for multiple newly added frequency points, the terminal may determine corresponding multiple measurement periods based on the second configuration information corresponding to each newly added frequency point.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple newly added frequency points, the terminal can determine the maximum period among the multiple measurement periods, and then set the newly added frequency points corresponding to the maximum period The point is determined as the target frequency point.

It can be understood that, in the implementation of this application, since the larger the measurement period is, the possibility of being allocated to a measurement gap for measurement each time is smaller, therefore, the terminal can preferentially select the newly added frequency point with the largest measurement period as The target frequency point is measured, so that the measurement gap can be allocated reasonably and effectively.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are at least two maximum periods in the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple newly added frequency points, then the terminal can Randomly select a newly added frequency point from the added frequency point as the target frequency point.

Step 103c, if the judgment result is that there is no newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured, then determine multiple measurement intervals corresponding to the multiple frequency points to be measured.

Step 103d, determining target frequency points among multiple frequency points to be measured according to multiple measurement intervals.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal schedules the measurement of multiple frequency points to be measured according to the judgment result, if the judgment result is that there is no newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured, then the terminal can first determine the number of frequency points to be measured. multiple measurement intervals corresponding to a frequency point to be measured; and then determine the target frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured according to the multiple measurement intervals; finally, the target frequency point can be scheduled in the current measurement gap for measurement processing.

That is to say, in this application, after the terminal determines the multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, if the multiple frequency points to be measured do not include the newly added frequency point , then the terminal can directly determine the measurement interval corresponding to each frequency point to be measured, and then determine the target frequency point configured for measurement in the current measurement gap among multiple frequency points to be measured according to the measurement interval.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal determines the multiple measurement intervals corresponding to the multiple frequency points to be measured, for any one of the multiple frequency points to be measured, it can determine the The historical measurement time corresponding to the frequency point; then, according to the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, determine the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured.

In some embodiments of the present application, the historical measurement time of the frequency point to be measured is the corresponding time when the frequency point to be measured was last configured for measurement in the measurement gap, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is the current Measure the time position of the gap. Correspondingly, the measurement interval can be combined with the measurement factor to measure the interval between the latest measurement time of a frequency point and the time of the current measurement gap.

Optionally, in this application, when determining the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured according to the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, the terminal may first determine the difference result between the time parameter and the historical measurement time ; Then determine the difference result as a measurement interval corresponding to a plurality of frequency points to be measured.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, when determining the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, the terminal may choose to directly calculate the measurement interval according to the historical measurement time corresponding to the frequency point to be measured and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap, That is, the difference result between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement moment of the frequency point to be measured can be directly determined as the corresponding measurement interval.

Exemplarily, in this application, it is assumed that the historical measurement moment of frequency point a to be measured is t1, the historical measurement moment of frequency point c to be measured is t2, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is t3. For the frequency point a to be measured, its corresponding measurement interval can be determined as (t3-t1), and for the frequency point c to be measured, its corresponding measurement interval can be determined as (t3-t2).

Optionally, in this application, when determining the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured according to the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, the terminal may first determine the difference between the time parameter and the historical measurement time result; and then determine the measurement interval according to the difference result and the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured.

That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, when determining the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, the terminal may first calculate the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, and then combine the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured, the current The time parameter corresponding to the measurement interval and the historical measurement moments of multiple frequency points to be measured further calculate the corresponding measurement interval.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the measurement factor may be used to determine the measurement probability of the frequency point to be measured. Therefore, the terminal may introduce a measurement factor to further select a target frequency point to be finally measured in the current measurement gap.

Exemplarily, in this application, the value of the measurement factor can be inversely proportional to the measurement probability, that is, the larger the measurement factor, the smaller the measurement probability of the corresponding frequency point to be measured; the smaller the measurement factor, the lower the corresponding frequency point to be measured. The measurement probability of the frequency measurement point being measured is greater.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, when determining the measurement interval according to the difference result and the measurement factor, the terminal may use the ratio between the difference result and the measurement factor as the corresponding measurement interval.

Exemplarily, in this application, it is assumed that the historical measurement time of the frequency point a to be measured is t1, the measurement factor is b1, the historical measurement time point of the frequency point c to be measured is t2, the measurement factor is b2, and the time corresponding to the current measurement gap The parameter is t3. For frequency point a to be measured, its corresponding measurement interval can be determined as (t3-t1)/b1, and for frequency point c to be measured, its corresponding measurement interval can be determined as (t3-t2)/b2.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, before determining the measurement interval according to the difference result and the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, the terminal may also firstly use the measurement gap sharing mode and the frequency point time corresponding to the frequency point to be measured Factor sets the measurement factor.

In some embodiments of the present application, when determining the measurement factor, the terminal may use the measurement gap sharing mode and the frequency point time factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured to set the measurement factor. Correspondingly, when determining the measurement interval in combination with the measurement factor, the terminal can first determine the difference result between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement moment; and then directly calculate the ratio between the difference result and the measurement factor as the corresponding measurement interval.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, while receiving the first configuration information and the second configuration information delivered by the network, the terminal can also receive the measurement gap sharing mode and all frequency configurations in the measurement objects delivered by the network. The frequency point time factor corresponding to the point.

In some embodiments of the present application, the measurement gap sharing mode is used to determine the manner in which different measurement frequency points share the measurement gap. For example, the measurement gap needs to be allocated to the same frequency measurement, different frequency measurement and different system measurement, then the measurement gap sharing mode can allocate the measurement gap to the frequency points of the same frequency measurement, different frequency measurement and different system measurement.

Exemplarily, in this application, the measurement gap sharing mode may include the first mode, the second mode, the third mode, and the fourth mode; when the MGSS configuration is 00, the measurement gap sharing mode is the first mode, indicating that all The frequency point divides the measurement gap equally; when the MGSS configuration is 01, the measurement gap sharing mode is the second mode, which means that 25% of the measurement gap is allocated for the same frequency measurement; 75% of the measurement gap is allocated for the inter-frequency and different system measurement; when the MGSS configuration is 10 , the measurement gap sharing mode is the third mode, which means that 50% of the measurement gaps are allocated for the same frequency measurement; 75% of the measurement gap is allocated for same-frequency measurement; 25% of the measurement gap is allocated for inter-frequency and different system measurement.

In some embodiments of the present application, the frequency point time factor may be used to lengthen the measurement period, and the frequency point time factors corresponding to different frequency points may also be different.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal executes step 103d, that is, when determining the target frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured according to the multiple measurement intervals, the terminal may set the maximum interval among the multiple measurement intervals The corresponding multiple frequency points to be tested are determined as target frequency points.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, multiple measurement intervals of multiple frequency points are compared. The larger the measurement interval, the longer the corresponding frequency point was last configured in the measurement gap for measurement. , so the frequency point can be measured preferentially, so that the measurement gap can be allocated reasonably and effectively.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal executes step 103d, that is, when determining the target frequency point among multiple frequency points to be measured according to multiple measurement intervals, if there are multiple If you want to measure the frequency point with the largest measurement interval, you can first determine the frequency points with the largest measurement interval as multiple candidate frequency points; then determine the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple candidate frequency points; Among them, the candidate frequency point corresponding to the maximum period is determined as the target frequency point.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are multiple maximum intervals among the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured, then the terminal may first determine the target frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured according to the measurement interval In the measurement interval, multiple frequency points corresponding to multiple maximum intervals are determined as candidate frequency points; then the measurement period corresponding to the candidate frequency point is determined; and then the candidate frequency point corresponding to the maximum period in the measurement period can be determined as target frequency.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are multiple frequency points among the multiple frequency points to be measured and the measurement intervals are all the maximum intervals, then the terminal can be based on the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple frequency points in the Select the target frequency point among multiple frequency points.

It should be noted that, in this application, the terminal can determine the measurement cycle corresponding to the frequency point to be measured according to the second configuration information corresponding to each frequency point to be measured. Therefore, for multiple frequency points with the largest measurement interval, the terminal The corresponding multiple measurement periods may also be determined based on the second configuration information corresponding to each frequency point.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple frequency points, the terminal can determine the maximum period among the multiple measurement periods, and then determine the frequency point corresponding to the maximum period as the target Frequency.

It can be understood that, in the implementation of this application, since the larger the measurement period is, the possibility of being allocated to the measurement gap for each measurement is smaller, therefore, the terminal can preferentially select the frequency point with the largest measurement period as the target frequency. Points are measured, so that the measurement gap can be allocated reasonably and effectively.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are at least two maximum periods in the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple frequency points with the largest measurement interval, then the terminal can Randomly select one of the frequency points as the target frequency point.

It can be understood that, in this application, for any frequency point to be measured, the measurement cycle corresponding to the frequency point to be measured may be an SMTC cycle.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, before determining the multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap, that is, before step 101, the method for the terminal to perform measurement scheduling may also include the following steps:

Step 104, acquire first configuration information and second configuration information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may first obtain the first configuration information and the second configuration information delivered by the network, where the second configuration information is the configuration information of the measurement object delivered by the network to the terminal.

It can be understood that, in this application, the measurement object delivered by the network to the terminal is based on a frequency point, that is, each measurement object configured by the second configuration information is a separate frequency point. Wherein, all frequency points in the measurement object correspond to identification information.

Correspondingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for the terminal to determine multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap may include the following steps:

Step 101a, determine the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information.

Step 101b: Determine a plurality of frequency points to be tested in all frequency points according to the second configuration information.

In the embodiment of this application, after the terminal obtains the first configuration information and the second configuration information issued by the network, it can determine the current measurement gap corresponding to the current moment according to the first configuration information, and then continue to use the second configuration information The information determines multiple frequency points to be measured that can be measured in the current measurement gap among all the frequency points.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, since the first configuration information can configure the time position, time length, and period of the measurement gap, the terminal can determine the time interval for a period of time based on the first configuration information. The time position and time length of a measurement gap and the time difference between two adjacent measurement gaps, that is, the measurement period, can further determine the current measurement gap corresponding to the current moment.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal obtains all the second configuration information corresponding to all the frequency points, it can first perform measurement configuration on all the frequency points according to all the second configuration information, so as to determine a period of time measurement information such as the measurement location, time length, and period corresponding to each frequency point.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining the measurement information corresponding to each frequency point, the terminal can compare the measurement position of each frequency point with the time position corresponding to the current measurement gap, if If the measurement position of a frequency point coincides with the time position of the current measurement gap, it can be considered that the frequency point can be measured in the measurement gap, so the frequency point can be determined as multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal selects and schedules the target frequency point, it can fully consider all measurements including SSB measurement configuration, measurement gap, frequency point time factor, and measurement gap sharing configuration. The impact of the configuration is that the measurement gap can be allocated reasonably and effectively, and finally the measurement performance of the UE is improved.

To sum up, in the embodiment of this application, through the measurement scheduling method proposed in the above steps 101 to 104, on the one hand, it can meet the requirements of the protocol, and reasonably allocate the measurement gap to the same frequency measurement, different frequency measurement and different frequency measurement. System measurement ensures the performance of each measurement frequency point and improves the overall mobility of the UE; on the other hand, it can give priority to measuring the newly configured frequency point and obtain cell information on the new frequency point as soon as possible; on the other hand, it can flexibly adjust the measurement gap The allocation plan ensures the measurement requirements of certain frequency points in special scenarios.

An embodiment of the present application provides a measurement scheduling method. The terminal determines multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap; judges whether there is a newly added frequency point among the multiple frequency points to be measured, and obtains a judgment result; Schedule the measurement of the frequency points to be measured. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal performs measurement scheduling, it can schedule the measurement gap according to the judgment result of whether there is a newly added frequency point, and can further introduce measurement factors in multiple frequency points to be measured The selection of the target frequency point finally enables the frequency point allocated to the measurement gap to meet the configuration requirements of the measurement gap and the frequency point at the same time, thereby realizing the rational allocation of the measurement gap and improving the measurement performance of the UE.

Based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present application proposes a measurement scheduling method, which can allocate measurement gaps based on measurement intervals.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the second implementation flow of the measurement scheduling method. As shown in Fig. 5, when performing measurement scheduling, the terminal may first configure the measurement gap based on the network-delivered The first configuration information to determine the current measurement gap (step 201); and then determine the frequency points to be measured that can be measured in the current measurement gap based on the second configuration information issued by the network for configuring the frequency points (step 202); then, the terminal can calculate and obtain the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured (step 203); then determine whether there are multiple maximum intervals in the measurement interval (step 204); if so, it is necessary to further determine the maximum interval A plurality of measurement periods (step 205) of corresponding plurality of frequency points; And in a plurality of measurement periods, the frequency point corresponding to the maximum period is determined as the target frequency point (step 206); Correspondingly, if not, just can directly be A frequency point corresponding to the maximum interval in the measurement interval is determined as the target frequency point (step 207); finally, the terminal can schedule the target frequency point to measure in the current measurement gap, that is, assign the current measurement gap to the target frequency point (step 207) 208).

That is to say, in this application, when performing measurement scheduling, for the current measurement gap, the terminal can first identify multiple frequency points to be measured that can be measured within the current measurement gap; then, for each frequency point to be measured , the terminal can calculate the measurement interval corresponding to each frequency point to be measured, wherein the measurement interval of a frequency point to be measured can be equal to the time corresponding to the current measurement gap minus the time when the multiple frequency points to be measured were last measured, that is Directly determine the difference result between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement moments of multiple frequency points to be measured as the corresponding measurement interval; then compare the measurement intervals corresponding to multiple frequency points to be measured to determine The maximum interval among them can further allocate the current measurement gap to multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the maximum interval.

It can be understood that in this application, if the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points among the multiple frequency points to be measured are the largest and equal, then the terminal can further determine the multiple measurement periods corresponding to the multiple frequency points, that is, the SMTC period, and then compare multiple measurement periods to determine the maximum period among them, and then the current measurement gap can be allocated to multiple frequency points to be measured corresponding to the maximum period.

It should be noted that, in this application, if the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points among the multiple frequency points to be measured are the largest and equal, and there are also multiple cycles of the multiple frequency points that are maximum and equal, That is, among the multiple frequency points with the largest measurement interval, there are multiple frequency points with the largest and equal periods, then the terminal can randomly allocate the current measurement gap to any one of the multiple frequency points with the largest and equal periods.

Exemplarily, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the allocation of measurement gaps. As shown in FIG. 6, in the NR link state, 2 same-frequency frequency points and 5 different-frequency frequency points are configured, that is, both cc1 and cc2 are marked as Intra, and cc3 , cc4, cc5, cc6, and cc7 are all identified as Inter. The SMTC period of cc1, cc2, cc3, cc4, cc5, and cc6 is configured as 40ms, the SMTC period of cc7 is configured as 160ms, and the measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 20ms. Assuming that these 7 frequency points are all configured 10 slots ago (slot=-10), then at the first measurement gap (slot=0), cc1 to cc7 can be measured in the first measurement gap, That is, for the first measurement gap (slot=0), multiple frequency points to be measured may be determined as cc1, cc2, cc3, cc4, cc5, cc6 and cc7.

Further, in this application, the terminal can calculate that the measurement intervals corresponding to the 7 frequency points to be measured are all 0-(-10)=10(historical The measurement times are all slot=-10, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=0). Since the measurement intervals of the seven frequency points to be measured are the same, the first measurement gap will be allocated to the frequency point with the largest SMTC cycle; among them, cc7 has the largest SMTC cycle of 160ms, so cc7 obtains the first measurement gap (slot =0).

Further, in this application, for the second measurement gap (slot=40), the six frequency points cc1 to cc6 can be measured within this measurement gap, that is, the multiple frequency points to be measured are cc1, cc2, cc3 , cc4, cc5, cc6, and according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, it is determined that the measurement intervals of these 6 frequency points to be measured are all 40-(-10)=50 (the historical measurement time average is slot=-10, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=40), meanwhile, the SMTC cycles of the 6 frequency points to be measured are also the same, all of which are 40ms, and then the terminal can randomly allocate the second measurement gap to For any one of the frequency points to be measured, for example, the second measurement gap (slot=40) is allocated to cc1.

Further, in this application, for the third measurement gap (slot=80), the six frequency points cc1 to cc6 can be measured within this measurement gap, that is, the multiple frequency points to be measured are cc1, cc2, cc3 , cc4, cc5, cc6, wherein, according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, the measurement interval of cc1 is calculated as 80-40=40 (cc1 has been measured at slot=40, and the historical measurement time is slot =40, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, calculate the measurement of the 5 frequency points to be measured cc2, cc3, cc4, cc5, cc6 The intervals are all 80-(-10)=90 (the historical measurement time is slot=-10, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), so the terminal needs to choose from these 5 frequency points to be measured . Specifically, since the SMTC periods of the five frequency points to be measured are the same, all of which are 40 ms, the terminal can randomly allocate the third measurement slot to any one of the frequency points to be measured, for example, the third measurement gap (slot =80) is assigned to cc2.

Further, in this application, for the fourth measurement gap (slot=120), the six frequency points cc1 to cc6 can be measured within this measurement gap, that is, the multiple frequency points to be measured are cc1, cc2, cc3 , cc4, cc5, cc6, wherein, according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, the measurement interval of cc1 is 120-40=80 (cc1 has been measured at slot=40, and the historical measurement time is slot =40, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=120), and the measurement interval of cc2 is calculated according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement moment is 120-80=40 (cc2 is measured at slot=80 However, the historical measurement time is slot=80, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=120), and the four waiting times cc3, cc4, cc5, and cc6 are calculated according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time. The measurement intervals of the frequency measurement points are all 120-(-10)=130 (the historical measurement times are all slot=-10, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=120), so the terminal needs to start from the four frequencies to be measured. Click to select. Further, since the SMTC periods of the four frequency points to be measured are the same, all of which are 40 ms, the terminal can randomly allocate the fourth measurement gap to any one of the frequency points to be measured, for example, the fourth measurement gap (slot =120) is assigned to cc3.

Further, in this application, for the fifth measurement gap (slot=160), the seven frequency points cc1 to cc7 can be measured within this measurement gap, that is, the multiple frequency points to be measured are cc1, cc2, cc3 , cc4, cc5, cc6, and cc7. Among them, according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time, the measurement interval of cc1 is determined to be 160-40=120 (cc1 has been measured at slot=40, the historical measurement time is slot=40, the current measurement gap The corresponding time parameter is slot=160), and the measurement interval of cc2 is calculated according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time is 160-80=80 (cc2 has been measured at slot=80, and the historical measurement time is slot=80, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=160), the measurement interval of cc3 is calculated according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time is 160-120=40 (cc3 is at slot=120 Measured, the historical measurement time is slot=120, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=160), the measurement interval of cc7 is calculated according to the difference between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time is 160 (cc7 is in slot =0 has been measured, the historical measurement time is slot=0, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=160), and the measurement intervals of the three frequency points to be measured from cc4 to cc6 are all 160-(-10)= 170 (the historical measurement times are all slot=-10, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=160), so the terminal needs to select from these three frequency points to be measured. Furthermore, since the SMTC periods of the three frequency points to be measured are the same, 40 ms, the terminal can randomly allocate the fifth measurement slot to any one of the frequency points to be measured, for example, the fifth measurement gap (slot =160) is assigned to cc4.

Based on the above Figure 3, in contrast, using the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application, when the terminal allocates measurement gaps sequentially, the measurement gaps obtained by each frequency point are equal, ensuring that each frequency point has the same measurement opportunity. There is one or some frequency points to obtain more measurement gaps (measurement opportunities), which ensures the rationality of measurement scheduling.

The embodiment of the present application provides a measurement scheduling method. When the terminal performs measurement scheduling, it can schedule the measurement gap according to the judgment result of whether there is a newly added frequency point, and can further introduce measurement factors in multiple frequency points to be measured. The selection of the target frequency point finally enables the frequency point allocated to the measurement gap to meet the configuration requirements of the measurement gap and the frequency point at the same time, thereby realizing the rational allocation of the measurement gap and improving the measurement performance of the UE.

It can be understood that in this application, since the network can flexibly adjust the measurement frequency point and configuration, for any measurement gap, there may be a newly added frequency point among the frequency points to be measured that can be measured, that is, the frequency point to be measured There are newly added frequency points in the frequency points. Correspondingly, for the newly added frequency point, the terminal can prioritize the measurement, that is, the priority of the configured measurement of the newly added frequency point is higher than the priority of the configured measurement of the measured frequency point; wherein, if there are multiple newly added new When adding a frequency point, the newly added frequency point with the largest measurement period is preferentially scheduled. When there are multiple newly added frequency points with the largest measurement period, one of the newly added frequency points can be randomly selected for priority measurement.

It should be noted that in this application, when the terminal calculates the measurement interval of the frequency point to be measured, it can also introduce a measurement factor (Measurement factor), wherein the measurement factor of each frequency point to be measured can be determined by the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured The frequency point time factor corresponding to the frequency point and the measurement gap sharing configuration are calculated and obtained. Correspondingly, when determining the measurement interval, the terminal can first calculate the difference result between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time of the last measurement of the frequency point to be measured, and then compare the difference result with the corresponding measurement The ratio between the factors is determined as the measurement interval of the frequency point to be measured.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the third implementation flow of the measurement scheduling method. As shown in Fig. 7, when performing measurement scheduling, the terminal may first configure the measurement gap based on the network-delivered The first configuration information to determine the current measurement gap (step 301); and then determine the frequency points to be measured that can be measured in the current measurement gap based on the second configuration information issued by the network for configuring the frequency points (step 302); further, the terminal can first determine whether there is a newly added new added frequency point in the frequency point to be measured, that is, an unmeasured frequency point (step 303); if there is a newly added frequency point, then further determine whether there are multiple Add a new frequency point (step 304); if there are not multiple new added frequency points, then directly determine the newly added frequency point as the target frequency point (step 305); if there are multiple newly added frequency points, you need to determine first A plurality of measurement periods of a plurality of newly added frequency points is obtained (step 306); and a newly added frequency point corresponding to a maximum period among the plurality of measurement periods is determined as a target frequency point (step 307).

Further, in this application, after step 303, if there is no new frequency point added, the terminal can calculate the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured (step 308); The measurement interval (step 309); then determine whether there are multiple maximum intervals in the measurement interval (step 310); if yes, it is necessary to further determine a plurality of measurement cycles of a plurality of frequency points corresponding to the maximum interval (step 311); And in a plurality of measurement periods, the frequency point corresponding to the maximum period is determined as the target frequency point (step 312); correspondingly, if not, a frequency point corresponding to the maximum interval in the measurement interval can be directly determined as the target frequency point (step 313).

Further, in this application, the terminal can finally schedule the target frequency point to perform measurement in the current measurement gap, that is, allocate the current measurement gap to the target frequency point (step 314).

That is to say, in this application, when performing measurement scheduling, the terminal can first identify the frequency point to be measured that can be measured in the current measurement gap for the current measurement gap; if there is a newly added new frequency point in the frequency point to be measured Add a frequency point, then the terminal can preferentially allocate the current measurement gap to the newly added newly added frequency point, wherein, if there is only one newly added newly added frequency point, then the terminal can preferentially measure the newly added frequency point, if there are multiple If there are multiple newly added frequency points with the same SMTC cycle, the terminal may randomly select a newly added frequency point for measurement first. Correspondingly, if there is no newly added frequency point among the frequency points to be measured, for each frequency point to be measured, the terminal can calculate The corresponding measurement factor; then, the terminal can use the measurement factor to calculate the measurement interval of each frequency point to be measured, wherein the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap can be calculated first and the historical measurement time of the last measurement of the frequency point to be measured The difference result between them, and then the ratio between the difference result and the corresponding measurement factor is determined as the measurement interval of the frequency point to be measured. After determining the measurement interval of the frequency point to be measured, the terminal can compare the measurement intervals corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, determine the maximum interval among them, and then allocate the current measurement gap to the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the maximum interval.

It can be understood that, in this application, if the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points among the frequency points to be measured are the largest and equal, then the terminal can further determine the multiple measurement cycles corresponding to the multiple frequency points, that is, the SMTC cycle, Then, multiple measurement periods are compared to determine the maximum period, and then the current measurement gap can be allocated to the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the maximum period.

It should be noted that, in this application, if the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points among the frequency points to be measured are the largest and equal, and there are multiple periods of the multiple frequency points that are maximum and equal, that is, the measurement Among the multiple frequency points with the largest interval, if there are multiple frequency points with the largest and equal periods, then the terminal may randomly allocate the current measurement gap to any one of the multiple frequency points with the largest and equal periods.

Exemplarily, FIG. 8 is a second schematic diagram of measurement gap allocation. As shown in FIG. 8, in the NR link state, one same-frequency frequency point and three different-frequency frequency points are configured, that is, cc1 is marked as Intra, cc2, cc3 and cc4 is marked as Inter, and cc1, cc2, cc3, and cc4 are all newly added frequency points. The network configuration measurement gap sharing configuration is 00, that is, the measurement gap sharing mode divides the measurement gap equally among all frequency points. The terminal calculates the measurement factor (marked as factor) of each frequency point to be 1 according to the frequency point time factor and the measurement gap sharing mode. The SMTC periods of cc1 and cc2 are both configured as 20ms, and the SMTC periods of cc3 and cc4 are both configured as 40ms. The measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 20ms.

For the first measurement gap (slot=0), cc1 to cc4 can be measured in the first measurement gap, that is, for the first measurement gap (slot=0), multiple frequency points to be measured can be determined as cc1 , cc2, cc3, cc4. At this time, the terminal may allocate the first measurement gap to the frequency point where the SMTC period is the largest. Specifically, the SMTC period of cc3 and cc4 is the largest, which is 40ms, and the terminal can randomly allocate the first measurement gap to any of the frequency points to be measured, for example, the first measurement gap (slot=0) is allocated to cc3.

Based on the above method, the terminal can sequentially assign the second measurement slot (slot=20), the third measurement slot (slot=40), and the fourth measurement slot (slot=60) to cc1, cc4, and cc2 respectively, so that It can ensure that the newly added frequency points can be measured first.

For the fifth measurement gap (slot=80), cc1 to cc4 can be measured in the fifth measurement gap, that is, for the fifth measurement gap (slot=80), multiple frequency points to be measured can be determined as cc1 , cc2, cc3, cc4. At this time, since there are no newly added newly added frequency points, the terminal can first determine the measurement factors of the four frequency points to be measured, and then combine the measurement factors, the time parameters corresponding to the fifth measurement gap, and the frequency point to be measured To further determine the measurement intervals of the four frequency points to be measured, and then perform measurement scheduling based on the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured. Among them, it has been determined that the measurement factors of the four frequency points to be measured are all 1, and the measurement interval of cc3 can be determined as 80-0=80 (cc3 in It has been measured at slot=0, the historical measurement time is slot=0, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), and the measurement interval of cc1 is determined as 80-20=60 (cc1 has been measured at slot=20, the historical measurement The time is slot=20, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), and the measurement interval of cc2 is determined as 80-60=20 (cc2 has been measured at slot=60, the historical measurement time is slot=60, the current measurement gap The corresponding time parameter is slot=80), and the measurement interval of cc4 is determined as 80-40=40 (cc4 has been measured at slot=40, the historical measurement time is slot=40, and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80) , so that it can be determined that the measurement interval of cc3 is the largest, so the terminal can allocate the fifth measurement interval to cc3.

Based on the above method, the terminal can continue to allocate each measurement gap in turn according to the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured. As shown in Figure 8, every 4 measurement gaps are allocated to the 4 frequency points of cc1, cc2, cc3, and cc4 in sequence , so as to ensure that all frequency points equally divide the measurement gap, that is, meet the requirements of the measurement gap sharing mode.

Exemplarily, Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram 3 of allocation of measurement gaps. As shown in Fig. 9, in the NR link state, 1 same-frequency frequency point and 3 different-frequency frequency points are configured, that is, cc1 is marked as Intra, cc2, cc3 and cc4 is marked as Inter, and cc1, cc2, cc3, and cc4 are all newly added frequency points. The network configuration measurement gap sharing configuration is 01, that is, the measurement gap sharing mode allocates 25% of the measurement gap for intra-frequency measurement, and 75% of the measurement gap for inter-frequency measurement. The terminal calculates the measurement factor (marked as factor) of each frequency point to be 1 according to the frequency point time factor and the measurement gap sharing mode. The SMTC periods of cc1 and cc2 are both configured as 20ms, and the SMTC periods of cc3 and cc4 are both configured as 40ms. The measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 20ms.

For the first measurement gap (slot=0), cc1 to cc4 can be measured in the first measurement gap, that is, for the first measurement gap (slot=0), multiple frequency points to be measured can be determined as cc1 , cc2, cc3, cc4. At this time, the terminal can allocate the first measurement gap to the frequency point with the largest SMTC period; among them, the SMTC period of cc3 and cc4 is the largest, which is 40ms, and then the terminal can randomly allocate the first measurement gap to any one of them For the frequency point to be measured, for example, the first measurement gap (slot=0) is allocated to cc3.

Based on the above method, the terminal can continue to allocate each measurement gap in turn according to the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured. As shown in Figure 9, among every 4 measurement gaps, 1 measurement gap is allocated to the same frequency cc1, and 3 The measurement gaps are allocated to different frequencies cc2, cc3, and cc4, thus ensuring that 25% of the measurement gaps are allocated for the same-frequency measurement, and 75% of the measurement gaps are allocated for the different-frequency measurements, which meets the requirements of the measurement gap sharing mode.

Exemplarily, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram 4 of measurement gap allocation. As shown in FIG. 10, in the NR link state, 1 same-frequency frequency point and 3 different-frequency frequency points are configured, that is, cc1 is marked as Intra, cc2, cc3 and cc4 is marked as Inter, and cc1, cc2, cc3, and cc4 are all newly added frequency points. The network configuration measurement gap sharing configuration is 11, that is, the measurement gap sharing mode allocates 75% of the measurement gap for intra-frequency measurement, and 25% of the measurement gap for inter-frequency measurement. According to the frequency point time factor and the measurement gap sharing mode, the terminal calculates that the measurement factor of the same frequency point is 1, and the measurement factor of different frequency points is 3, that is, the measurement factor of cc1 is 1, and the measurement factors of cc2, cc3, and cc4 are all 3 . The SMTC periods of cc1 and cc2 are both configured as 20ms, and the SMTC periods of cc3 and cc4 are both configured as 40ms. The measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 20ms.

For the fifth measurement gap (slot=80), cc1 to cc4 can be measured in the fifth measurement gap, that is, for the fifth measurement gap (slot=80), multiple frequency points to be measured can be determined as cc1 , cc2, cc3, cc4. At this time, since there are no newly added newly added frequency points, the terminal can first determine the measurement factors of the four frequency points to be measured, and then combine the measurement factors, the time parameters corresponding to the fifth measurement gap, and the frequency point to be measured To further determine the measurement intervals of the four frequency points to be measured, and then perform measurement scheduling based on the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured. Among them, it has been determined that the measurement factor of cc1 is 1, the measurement factors of cc2, cc3 and cc4 are all 3, and the calculation of the measurement interval is further carried out. The measurement interval of cc1 is (80-20)/1=60 (cc1 is at slot=20 has been measured at , the historical measurement time is slot=20, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), the measurement interval of cc2 is (80-60)/3=6.7 (cc2 has been measured at slot=60, the historical The measurement time is slot=60, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), the measurement interval of cc3 is (80-0)/3=27 (cc3 was measured at slot=0, and the historical measurement time is slot= 0, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), the measurement interval of cc4 is (80-40)/3=13 (cc4 has been measured at slot=40, the historical measurement time is slot=40, the current measurement gap The corresponding time parameter is slot=80). Since the measurement interval of cc1 is the largest, which is 60, the terminal may allocate the fifth measurement gap to cc1.

Based on the above method, the terminal can continue to allocate each measurement gap sequentially according to the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured. As shown in Figure 10, the sixth measurement gap (slot=100) is allocated to the same frequency measurement cc1, the seventh The measurement slot (slot=120) is allocated to the inter-frequency measurement cc3, the eighth measurement slot (slot=140) is allocated to the same-frequency measurement cc1, the ninth measurement slot (slot=160) is allocated to the inter-frequency measurement cc4, and so on. It can be seen that the terminal allocates the measurement gaps sequentially according to the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application, ensuring that 50% of the measurement gaps are allocated for intra-frequency measurement and 50% of the measurement gaps are allocated for inter-frequency measurement, which meets the requirements of the measurement gap sharing mode.

Exemplarily, Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram 5 of measurement gap allocation. As shown in Fig. 11, in the NR link state, one same-frequency frequency point and three different-frequency frequency points are configured, that is, cc1 is marked as Intra, cc2, cc3 and cc4 is marked as Inter, and cc1, cc2, cc3, and cc4 are all newly added frequency points. The network configuration measurement gap sharing configuration is 10, that is, the measurement gap sharing mode allocates 50% of the measurement gaps for intra-frequency measurements, and 50% of the measurement gaps for inter-frequency measurements. According to the frequency point time factor and the measurement gap sharing mode, the terminal calculates that the measurement factor of the same frequency point is 1, and the measurement factor of different frequency points is 9, that is, the measurement factor of cc1 is 1, and the measurement factors of cc2, cc3, and cc4 are all 9 . The SMTC periods of cc1 and cc2 are both configured as 20ms, and the SMTC periods of cc3 and cc4 are both configured as 40ms. The measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 20ms.

For the first measurement gap (slot=0), cc1 to cc4 can be measured in the first measurement gap, that is, for the first measurement gap (slot=0), multiple frequency points to be measured can be determined as cc1 , cc2, cc3, cc4. At this time, the terminal may allocate the first measurement gap to the frequency point where the SMTC period is the largest. Since the maximum SMTC period of cc3 and cc4 is 40ms, the terminal can randomly allocate the first measurement gap to any of the frequency points to be measured, for example, allocate the first measurement gap (slot=0) to cc3.

For the fifth measurement gap (slot=80), cc1 to cc4 can be measured in the fifth measurement gap, that is, for the fifth measurement gap (slot=80), multiple frequency points to be measured can be determined as cc1 , cc2, cc3, cc4. At this time, since there are no newly added newly added frequency points, the terminal can first determine the measurement factors of the four frequency points to be measured, and then combine the measurement factors, the time parameters corresponding to the fifth measurement gap, and the frequency point to be measured To further determine the measurement intervals of the four frequency points to be measured, and then perform measurement scheduling based on the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured. Among them, it has been determined that the measurement factor of cc1 is 1, the measurement factors of cc2, cc3 and cc4 are all 9, and the calculation of the measurement interval is further carried out. The measurement interval of cc1 is (80-20)/1=60 (cc1 is at slot=20 has been measured at , the historical measurement time is slot=20, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), the measurement interval of cc2 is (80-60)/9=2.2 (cc2 has been measured at slot=60, the historical The measurement time is slot=60, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), the measurement interval of cc3 is (80-0)/9=8.9 (cc3 was measured at slot=0, and the historical measurement time is slot= 0, the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap is slot=80), the measurement interval of cc4 is (80-40)/9=4.4 (cc4 has been measured at slot=40, the historical measurement time is slot=40, the current measurement gap The corresponding time parameter is slot=80). Since the measurement interval of cc1 is the largest, which is 60, the terminal may allocate the fifth measurement gap to cc1.

Based on the above method, the terminal can continue to allocate each measurement gap sequentially according to the measurement intervals of multiple frequency points to be measured. As shown in Figure 11, the fifth measurement gap (slot=80) to the sixteenth measurement gap (slot=80) 300) There are 12 measurement gaps in total, 9 measurement gaps are allocated to the same-frequency measurement cc1, and 3 measurement gaps are allocated to different-frequency measurements cc3, cc4, and cc2 respectively. It can be seen that the terminal allocates the measurement gaps sequentially according to the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application, ensuring that 75% of the measurement gaps are allocated for intra-frequency measurement and 25% of the measurement gaps are allocated for inter-frequency measurement, which meets the requirements of the measurement gap sharing mode.

Based on the above embodiments, in yet another embodiment of the present application, Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of a fourth implementation flow of the measurement scheduling method. As shown in Fig. 12, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for the terminal to perform measurement scheduling may include the following steps :

Step 401: Determine the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information; wherein, the first configuration information is used to configure the measurement gap, and the second configuration information is used to configure the frequency point .

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal may determine the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information used for configuring the measurement gap and the second configuration information used for configuring the frequency point. Wherein, the current measurement gap may be a measurement gap corresponding to the current moment in at least one measurement gap. The frequency point to be measured may be at least one frequency point that can be measured in the current measurement gap among all the frequency points included in the measurement objects delivered by the network to the terminal.

Optionally, in this application, the first configuration information may be used to configure the measurement gap, and specifically may be used to configure the time position, time length, and period of the measurement gap. The second configuration information may be used to configure frequency points, and specifically may be a synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement configuration, which is used to configure the measurement position, time length and period of SSB.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, before the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap is determined according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, that is, before step 401, the method for the terminal to perform measurement scheduling may also include the following step:

Step 405, acquiring first configuration information and second configuration information.

Correspondingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for the terminal to determine the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information may include the following steps:

Step 401a, determine the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information.

Step 401b: Determine the frequency point to be tested in all frequency points according to the second configuration information.

In the embodiment of this application, after the terminal obtains the first configuration information and the second configuration information issued by the network, it can determine the current measurement gap corresponding to the current moment according to the first configuration information, and then continue to use the second configuration information The information determines the frequency points to be measured that can be measured in the current measurement gap among all the frequency points.

Step 402, determining the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, the terminal may sequentially determine the measurement factor corresponding to each frequency point to be measured.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the measurement factor may be used to determine the measurement probability of the frequency point to be measured.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement time slot determined by the terminal based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information may be one of all frequency points, or may be Multiple frequency points in all frequency points. If there is more than one frequency point to be measured, the terminal needs to introduce a measurement factor to further select the target frequency point to be measured in the current measurement gap.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, for different types of frequency points to be measured, the manners of determining the measurement factor by the terminal are also different. In some embodiments of the present application, when the terminal determines the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, if the frequency point to be measured is a newly added frequency point, then the terminal can directly set the measurement factor according to the preset value; if the frequency point to be measured If the frequency point has been measured, then the terminal can set the measurement factor according to the measurement gap sharing mode and the frequency point time factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the newly added frequency points in the frequency points to be tested are newly added frequency points that have not been measured yet; the measured frequency points in the frequency points to be measured are already The frequency points measured in the previous measurement gap.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, for a newly added frequency point among the frequency points to be measured, the preset value may be used as an indication of priority measurement. That is to say, if the measurement factor of a frequency point to be measured is a preset value, then the frequency point to be measured can be measured preferentially.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, for the measured frequency points among the frequency points to be measured, the terminal can use the measurement gap sharing mode, the frequency point time factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, and further determine Get the corresponding measurement factors.

Exemplarily, in this application, if the value of the measurement factor is inversely proportional to the measurement probability, then the measurement factor of the newly added frequency point may be much smaller than the measurement factor of the measured frequency point.

Step 403: Determine the target frequency point among the frequency points to be measured according to the measurement factor.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, the terminal may further determine the target frequency point among the frequency points to be measured according to the measurement factor.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, due to the different determination methods of the measurement factors corresponding to different types of frequency points to be measured, correspondingly, for different types of frequency points to be measured, the terminal is in accordance with the measurement factor The method of determining the actual measured target frequency point among the frequency points is also different.

In some embodiments of the present application, if the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured includes a preset value, then the terminal may determine the frequency point to be measured with the measurement factor as the preset value as the target frequency point; that is, among the frequency points to be measured If there is a newly added frequency point, the terminal may preferentially determine the newly added frequency point as the target frequency point.

That is to say, in this application, one frequency point to be measured corresponds to one measurement factor, and if multiple measurement factors corresponding to multiple frequency points to be measured include preset values, then the terminal can directly set the measurement factor to the preset value The frequency point to be tested is selected as the target frequency point.

It can be understood that in this application, since the measurement factor of the newly added frequency point in the frequency point to be measured has been set with a preset value, when selecting the target frequency point based on the measurement factor, it can be preferentially selected. The newly added frequency point in the frequency measurement point, so that the frequency point that has not been measured can be measured first to understand the situation of the newly added frequency point.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured includes a preset value, if there are multiple frequency points in the frequency point to be measured whose measurement factor is a preset value, the terminal may first A plurality of measurement periods corresponding to the plurality of frequency points is determined; and then a frequency point corresponding to a maximum period among the plurality of measurement periods is determined as a target frequency point.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, if there are multiple frequency points in the frequency points to be measured and the measurement factors are all preset values, that is, there are multiple newly added frequency points in the frequency points to be measured, then the terminal can The target frequency point is selected among multiple newly added frequency points according to the measurement period corresponding to each frequency point.

In some embodiments of the present application, if the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured does not include a preset value, then the terminal can first determine the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured according to the measurement factor; Determine the target frequency point; that is, if there is no newly added frequency point among the frequency points to be measured, the terminal needs to further calculate the measurement interval based on the measurement factor, so that the target frequency point can be selected using the measurement interval.

That is to say, in this application, one frequency point to be measured corresponds to one measurement factor. If the multiple measurement factors corresponding to multiple frequency points to be measured do not include preset values, then the terminal needs to determine the number of frequency points to be measured. Points corresponding to a plurality of measurement intervals, and then according to the plurality of measurement intervals to determine the actual measurement target frequency points from the plurality of frequency points to be measured.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, when determining the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured according to the measurement factor, the terminal may first determine the historical measurement time corresponding to the frequency point to be measured; and then determine the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap The difference result with the historical measurement time; finally, the measurement interval can be determined according to the difference result and the measurement factor.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, when the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured does not include a preset value, after the terminal calculates the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, if the frequency point to be measured is more than frequency points, then the terminal can determine the frequency point corresponding to the largest interval among the multiple measurement intervals as the target frequency point.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured does not include a preset value, if there are multiple maximum intervals in the measurement interval of the frequency point to be measured, then the terminal is based on the measurement interval in When determining the target frequency point among the frequency points to be measured, multiple frequency points corresponding to multiple maximum intervals in the measurement interval can be determined as candidate frequency points; then the measurement period corresponding to the candidate frequency points can be determined; The candidate frequency point corresponding to the maximum period in the period is determined as the target frequency point.

It can be understood that, in this application, if the node to be measured is one of all frequency points in the measurement object, the terminal can directly determine the frequency point as the target frequency point without the need to determine the measurement factor And the selection process of the target frequency point based on the measurement factor.

Step 404, schedule the target frequency point to perform measurement processing in the current measurement gap.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the target frequency point among the frequency points to be measured according to the measurement factor, the terminal may schedule the target frequency point in the current measurement gap for measurement processing.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, that is, after step 401, and after scheduling the target frequency point in the current measurement gap Before performing measurement processing in the gap, that is, before step 404, the method for the terminal to perform measurement scheduling may also include the following steps:

Step 406, if the frequency points to be tested include a newly added frequency point, then determine the newly added frequency point as the target frequency point.

In the embodiment of this application, after the terminal determines the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, if the frequency point to be measured includes a newly added frequency point, then the terminal can directly Determine the newly added frequency point as the target frequency point.

It can be understood that in this application, for the newly added frequency point, the terminal can prioritize the scheduling of the measurement, that is, as long as there is a newly added frequency point among the frequency points to be measured, the terminal can directly schedule the newly added frequency point at the current The measurement process is performed in the measurement gap, so that the frequency point that has not been measured can be measured first, so as to understand the situation of the newly added frequency point.

Step 407, if the frequency point to be measured does not include the newly added frequency point, then determine the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured.

Step 408: Determine the target frequency point among the frequency points to be measured according to the measurement interval.

In the embodiment of this application, after the terminal determines the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the current measurement gap according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, if the frequency point to be measured does not include a newly added frequency point, then the terminal can directly The corresponding measurement interval for each to-be-measured segment is determined, and then the target frequency point configured for measurement in the current measurement gap is determined among the frequency points to be measured according to the measurement interval.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, when determining the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, the terminal can choose to directly calculate the measurement interval according to the historical measurement time corresponding to the frequency point to be measured and the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap , that is, the difference result between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time of the frequency point to be measured can be directly determined as the corresponding measurement interval.

It can be understood that, in this application, when determining the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, the terminal may first calculate the measurement factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, and then combine the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured and the current measurement interval The corresponding time parameter and the historical measurement time of the frequency point to be measured further calculate the corresponding measurement interval.

It can be seen that based on the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application, when the terminal performs measurement scheduling, for the current measurement gap, it can first identify the frequency points to be measured that can be measured within the current measurement gap; then, the terminal can Point to determine the measurement factor. In some embodiments of the present application, if the frequency point to be measured is a newly added frequency point, the terminal can directly set the measurement factor according to the preset value; Frequency point to be measured The frequency point time factor corresponding to the frequency point to be measured sets the measurement factor. Among them, the preset value can be used as an indication of priority measurement. That is to say, if the measurement factor of a frequency point to be measured is a preset value, then the frequency point to be measured can be measured preferentially.

Next, the terminal can determine the target frequency point among the frequency points to be measured according to the measurement factor, and then can allocate the current measurement gap to the target frequency point.

In some embodiments of the present application, if the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured includes a preset value, the terminal may determine the frequency point to be measured whose measurement factor is the preset value as the target frequency point. If the measurement factor of the frequency point to be measured does not include a preset value, the terminal may first determine the measurement interval corresponding to the frequency point to be measured according to the measurement factor; and then determine the target frequency point among the frequency points to be measured according to the measurement interval. Among them, the terminal can first calculate the difference result between the time parameter corresponding to the current measurement gap and the historical measurement time of the last measurement of the frequency point to be measured, and then determine the ratio between the difference result and the corresponding measurement factor as the The measurement interval of the frequency measurement point. After determining the measurement interval of the frequency point to be measured, the terminal can compare the measurement intervals corresponding to the frequency point to be measured, determine the maximum interval among them, and then allocate the current measurement gap to the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the maximum interval.

Exemplarily, in this application, when the terminal performs measurement scheduling, the measurement gap needs to be allocated to intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement. Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the measurement gap allocation VI. As shown in Figure 13, in the NR link state, 2 same-frequency frequency points (outside the UE's active bandwidth), 4 different-frequency frequency points (outside the UE's active bandwidth), 2 LTE inter-system measurements, that is, cc1 and cc2 are marked as Intra, cc3, cc4, cc5, cc6 are marked as Inter, cc7 and cc8 are marked as Irat-nr, these 8 measurement frequency points need to be within the measurement gap Complete the measurement task. The network configuration measurement gap sharing configuration is 00, that is, the measurement gap sharing mode divides the measurement gap equally among all frequency points. The terminal calculates the measurement factors of cc1, cc3, cc4, cc5, cc7, and cc8 based on the frequency point time factor and the measurement gap sharing mode to be 1, the measurement factor of cc2 is 0.66667, and the measurement factor of cc6 is 0.83333. The SMTC period of cc1, cc7, and cc8 is configured as 20ms, the SMTC period of cc2 and cc3 is configured as 40ms, the SMTC period of cc4 and cc5 is configured as 80ms, and the SMTC period of cc6 is configured as 160ms. The measurement gap repetition period MGRP is 20ms.

The final measurement gap allocation result is shown in Figure 13, where frequency point cc2 should allocate the most measurement gaps according to its frequency point time factor and measurement gap sharing configuration (measurement gap sharing mode); frequency points cc1, cc3, cc4, cc5, cc7, and cc8 should allocate a similar number of measurement gaps according to their frequency point time factor and measurement gap sharing configuration (measurement gap sharing mode), which can meet the requirements of the protocol.

Correspondingly, in this application, based on the above-mentioned Figure 13, Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of the measurement gap allocation ratio. As shown in Figure 14, frequency point cc2 has obtained 21% of the measurement gap; frequency points cc1, cc7, and cc8 have obtained 13% The measurement gap of 10% is obtained for frequency points cc3, cc4, cc5, and cc6. Although the SMTC configurations of cc1 and cc3, cc4, cc5, and cc6 are different, using the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application, the allocation results after the terminals allocate measurement gaps ensure that they obtain a similar number of measurement gaps. It can be seen that the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application can reasonably allocate measurement gaps and ensure the performance of each measurement frequency point.

It can be seen that the measurement scheduling method proposed in this application can reasonably allocate measurement gaps to intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement; at the same time, it can preferentially measure newly configured frequency points and obtain cell information on new frequency points as soon as possible. Ensure the mobility of new frequency points; it can also implement a flexible allocation scheme for measurement gaps in special scenarios to ensure the measurement requirements of certain types of frequency points.
