Background technique

With the formal commercial networking of wireless technology (NewRadio, NR), neighbor cell measurements are required both in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system and in the NR system.

When implementing neighboring cell measurement under the LTE system, since the terminal has a synchronization signal in each half-frame data received, the terminal can measure the frequency point of the neighboring cell according to a certain period (for example, 5 ms). In the NR system, the adjacent cell measurement in the idle state is based on the specific location of some periodic synchronization signals (Single Side Band, SSB) provided by the base station. It can be different from the duration, that is, the position of the SSB synchronization signal block is flexible and configurable. Moreover, the base station can notify the UE to schedule the adjacent cell frequency points according to the SMTC by sending the SSB Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) parameter in the System Information Block (SIB) message.

However, as the number of adjacent cell frequencies increases, there will be a problem of high power consumption of the terminal when scheduling each adjacent cell frequency point in an idle state.

In the idle state of the existing NR system, when scheduling all frequency points to be tested in different discontinuous reception cycles (Discontinuous Reception, DRX), usually a separate frequency point to be tested is allocated to each discontinuous reception Scheduling within a cycle, for example, as shown in Figure 1A, the frequency points to be tested are F1, F2 and F3, when these three frequency points to be tested are scheduled, F1, F2 and F3 can be allocated to different Scheduling is performed in the continuous receiving cycles DRX cycle n, DRX cycle n+1, and DRX cycle n+2. Each of the frequency points to be measured in Figure 1A is scheduled in the measurement gap gap2 in their respective discontinuous periods. Scheduled within the measurement gap gap1, which is not limited here.

Although the above-mentioned existing scheduling method of scheduling a single frequency point to be measured in different discontinuous reception cycles DRX cycle is simple to implement, since all frequency points to be measured are scattered in different discontinuous reception cycles, it means that each discontinuous reception cycle Periodic UEs are performing frequency scheduling, which will lead to a problem of increased UE power consumption. In order to solve this problem, this application proposes a frequency point scheduling method, by optimizing the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be measured in different discontinuous reception cycles, specifically concentrating the scattered different frequency points to be measured in one discontinuous reception cycle or a small number of discontinuous reception cycles, so that the UE does not perform frequency scheduling in one or some discontinuous reception cycles, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing UE power consumption and prolonging the service life of the UE. The following embodiments will specifically illustrate the frequency point scheduling method described in this application.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , a frequency point scheduling method is provided. The method schedules multiple frequency points to be measured. The method is applied to the user terminal UE in FIG. 1 as an example for illustration. Include the following steps:

S101. Group multiple frequency points to be tested according to the SMTC periods of the multiple frequency points to be tested, to obtain a first set of frequency points to be tested and a second set of frequency points to be tested.

Wherein, the difference between the SMTC cycle of the first frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured and the SMTC cycle of the second frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured is less than the first frequency point to be measured The difference between the SMTC period of the SMTC period and the SMTC period of the third frequency point to be measured in the second set of frequency points to be measured; wherein, the first frequency point to be measured is any frequency to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured point, the second frequency point to be tested is another frequency point to be tested different from the first frequency point to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be tested, and the third frequency point to be tested is the second set of frequency points to be tested Any frequency point to be tested in . Optionally, the difference in duration of the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be tested is less than a preset threshold, and the difference in the duration of the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in the second set of frequency points to be measured is also less than the preset threshold.

In this embodiment, the UE can determine all frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled according to the system information block SIB received from the base station or the network side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the base station or the network side (NW) can download Send SIB2 information and SIB4 information, when the UE receives the SIB2 information, it can extract the SMTC related parameters of the same frequency to be tested, and when receiving the SIB2 information, it can extract the different frequency to be tested SMTC-related parameters can determine multiple frequency points to be tested, and use the determined multiple frequency points to be tested as all frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled.

When the UE has determined multiple frequency points to be tested, since the multiple frequency points to be tested can be assigned to be scheduled in different discontinuous reception periods, and in order to allocate them reasonably, it is necessary to first determine the frequency points that need to be scheduled in each discontinuous reception period. frequency to be tested. In this embodiment, in the process of determining the frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled in each discontinuous reception period, the UE may first group all the frequency points to be measured to obtain the first set of frequency points to be tested and the second set of frequency points to be tested. The frequency points are set, and make the difference between the SMTC period of the first frequency point to be measured in the grouped first frequency point to be measured set and the SMTC cycle of the second frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured Less than the difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of the first frequency point to be measured and the SMTC cycle of the third frequency point to be measured in the second set of frequency points to be measured; Optionally, the grouped first frequency point to be measured can also be The difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in each frequency point set to be measured contained in the set and the second set of frequency points to be measured is less than a preset threshold, that is, the first set of frequency points to be measured and the second set of frequency points to be measured The time lengths of the SMTC cycles of the frequency points to be tested included in the frequency point sets to be tested are very small, so as to better concentrate the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be tested in each frequency point set to be tested.

The above grouping method is illustrated as an example. When the UE groups multiple frequency points to be tested, it can divide the frequency points to be tested with a shorter SMTC period into a group according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be tested, and obtain the first frequency points to be tested. The set of frequency points to be measured divides the frequency points to be measured with a longer SMTC cycle into one group to obtain the second set of frequency points to be measured, so that any frequency point to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured is the same as other frequency points in this set The difference in the duration of the SMTC cycle between the frequency points to be tested is smaller than the difference in the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the second set of frequency points to be measured and the frequency point to be tested. For example, the frequency points to be tested include F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5, and the SMTC cycles of these five frequency points to be tested are 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 80ms, and 160ms respectively. After grouping by a method, the first set of frequency points to be tested can be obtained as [5ms, 10ms, 20ms], and the second set of frequency points to be tested is [80ms, 160ms]. The difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of a frequency point to be tested and other frequency points to be measured is any one of 5ms, 10ms, and 15ms, and any frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested is different from the second frequency point to be tested. The difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be tested in the point set is any one of 75ms, 155ms, 70ms, 150ms, 60ms, and 140ms, and any frequency point to be tested in the first frequency point set to be tested is different from other The difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of the frequency points to be tested is less than the difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured and any frequency point to be measured in the second set of frequency points to be measured . Obviously, after grouping according to the above method, the duration of the SMTC period between the first frequency point set to be tested and the second frequency point set to be tested is far apart after grouping, so the first frequency point set to be tested can be divided into and the second set of frequency points to be tested are assigned to different DRX cycles for scheduling. Compared with assigning the two sets of frequency points to be tested to one DRX cycle for scheduling, it can reduce the frequency of scheduling the frequency points to be tested in the same DRX cycle. The wake-up time and the number of times from sleep to wake-up can improve scheduling efficiency and reduce UE power consumption. It should be noted that the duration of the SMTC period between the first set of frequency points to be tested and the second set of frequency points to be tested refers to the time between any frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested and the second set of frequency points to be tested. The difference between the SMTC cycle durations of any frequency point to be tested in the set. In addition, the SMTC period of each frequency point to be tested in each frequency point set to be tested after grouping is relatively similar. When scheduling each frequency point to be tested in each frequency point set to be tested later, the UE can centrally schedule each All frequency points to be tested in a set of frequency points to be tested. It should be noted that the preset threshold can be pre-determined by the UE according to the grouping requirements. The above example divides the frequency points to be tested into two groups, which is just an example. The number of groups is determined according to the actual application situation, which is not limited here.

S102. Determine, according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested, a scheduling position within the DRX cycle of the first set of frequency points to be tested.

The DRX cycle is called a discontinuous reception cycle, and the scheduling position of the first set of frequency points to be tested within the DRX cycle specifically refers to the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested within the corresponding DRX cycle. In this embodiment, after the UE groups a plurality of frequency points to be tested based on the method described in the preceding steps, the first set of frequency points to be tested and the second set of frequency points to be tested are obtained, and then the two set of frequency points to be tested can be combined The set of frequency measurement points is assigned to different DRX cycles for scheduling. For specific allocation, the two sets of frequency points to be measured can be assigned to two DRX cycles for scheduling; when the UE determines the frequency points to be scheduled in each DRX cycle After the frequency measurement points are set, the frequency of each frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured within the DRX cycle corresponding to the set can be further determined according to the SMTC period of the frequency points to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured. The scheduling position, and according to the SMTC period of the frequency points to be tested in the second set of frequency points to be tested, determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the second set of frequency points to be tested within the DRX cycle corresponding to this set. Specifically, when determining the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in each frequency point set to be measured, the scheduling can be arranged according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in ascending order, for example, as shown in Figure 2B, with A DRX cycle n is taken as an example. In this DRX cycle n, the first set of frequency points to be measured needs to be scheduled, and the set of frequency points to be measured includes: F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5. The SMTC periods of the frequency measurement points are 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 80ms, and 160ms respectively. When determining the scheduling positions of all the frequency points to be measured in the measurement gap gap2, these 5 frequency points to be measured can be adjusted according to the SMTC period from the smallest Arrange in the order of the largest, and then schedule each frequency point to be measured in the measurement gap gap2 according to this order, refer to the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in FIG. 2B in order. Optionally, the UE may also use other methods to determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in each set of frequency points to be tested.

It should be noted that, since different frequency points to be measured are originally scheduled in different DRX cycles, different frequency points to be measured are allocated to corresponding different DRX cycles for scheduling (for example, the scheduling shown in Figure 1 method), so there is a frequency point to be tested in each DRX cycle that needs to be scheduled, and in this embodiment, after all the frequency points to be measured are grouped, since different sets of frequency points to be measured are allocated to different discontinuous reception Scheduling within a cycle, and some sets of frequency points to be tested may contain frequency points to be tested in multiple DRX cycles, which is equivalent to moving the frequency points to be tested in other DRX cycles to another discontinuous reception cycle for scheduling , can make the original DRX cycles that need to be scheduled to be tested be idle. For example, as shown in Figure 2C, the original frequency points F1, F2, and F3 to be tested are allocated to different discontinuous reception cycles DRX cycle n, DRX Scheduling is performed in cycle n+1 and DRX cycle n+2 (refer to the scheduling method shown in Figure 1A), but after grouping the frequency points F1, F2 and F3 to be tested, the first set of frequency points to be tested and the second set of frequency points to be measured are obtained. Two sets of frequency points to be tested, and the first set of frequency points to be tested includes frequency points F1 and F2 to be tested, and the second set of frequency points to be tested includes frequency point F3 to be tested, and different sets of frequency points to be tested are assigned to different DRXs Scheduling within a cycle, that is, assigning the first set of frequency points to be tested to the DRX cycle for scheduling, and assigning the second set of frequency points to be tested to DRX cycle n+2 for scheduling, because the original DRX cycle n+1 The frequency point F2 to be tested that needs to be scheduled in the cycle is moved to the DRX cycle for scheduling, so the original DRX cycle n+1 is idle, that is, there is no need to schedule any frequency point to be tested in this DRX cycle n+1 later.

The frequency point scheduling method provided by the above-mentioned embodiment groups a plurality of frequency points to be measured according to the SMTC period of the frequency points to be measured, obtains a first set of frequency points to be tested and a second set of frequency points to be measured, and according to the first set of frequency points to be measured The SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in the set of frequency points to be measured determines the scheduling position of the first set of frequency points to be measured in the DRX cycle, wherein the first frequency point to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured The difference between the SMTC cycle of the first frequency point to be measured and the SMTC cycle of the second frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured is less than the SMTC cycle of the first frequency point to be measured and the third frequency point to be measured in the second set of frequency points to be tested. The difference between the duration of the SMTC period of the frequency point; the first frequency point to be measured is any frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured, and the second frequency point to be measured is in the first frequency point set to be measured Another frequency point to be tested that is different from the first frequency point to be tested, and the third frequency point to be tested is any frequency point to be tested in the second set of frequency points to be tested. In the above method, before determining the scheduling positions of the multiple frequency points to be tested, the UE groups the multiple frequency points to be tested. On the one hand, the first set of frequency points to be tested and the second set of frequency points to be tested The distribution of the SMTC periodic positions of the frequency points to be measured in the frequency points to be measured is relatively concentrated, which overcomes the problems determined by the SMTC periodic positions of the frequency points to be measured in the prior art when determining the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be measured. The problem that the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be tested is easily dispersed improves the concentration of the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be measured in each set, and achieves the purpose of optimizing the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in each frequency point set to be measured, and then The power consumption of the UE is reduced; on the other hand, by grouping and allocating the grouped frequency point sets to be tested to different DRX cycles for scheduling, it is realized that one or some DRX cycles that originally need to be scheduled The frequency points to be tested are shifted and moved to other DRX cycles for centralized scheduling, so that one or some DRX cycles are idle, that is, there is no need to schedule any frequency points to be tested in this DRX cycle later, thereby reducing the power of the UE Consumption, prolonging the service life of the UE, and improving the user experience of using the UE.

In one embodiment, an implementation of the above-mentioned S102 is provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the above-mentioned S102 "according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured, determine the first frequency to be measured The scheduling position of the point set in the DRX cycle" includes:

S201. Determine a DRX cycle corresponding to the first set of frequency points to be tested according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested.

In this embodiment, when the UE groups multiple frequency points to be tested to obtain the first set of frequency points to be tested and the second set of frequency points to be tested, the two sets of frequency points to be tested can be allocated to different DRX Scheduling is performed within a cycle; optionally, the UE may also allocate the two sets of frequency points to be tested into one DRX cycle for scheduling. When the UE needs to allocate the two sets of frequency points to be tested to different DRX cycles for scheduling, it needs to first determine the discontinuous reception period corresponding to each set of frequency points to be tested, that is, determine the In which discontinuous reception period the frequency points to be tested need to be scheduled, and in which discontinuous reception period the frequency points to be tested in the second set of frequency points to be tested need to be scheduled. When specifically determining, it may be determined according to the SMTC cycle of the frequency points to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested, and determined according to the SMTC cycle of the frequency points to be tested in the second set of frequency points to be tested. For example, the UE can directly sort the two sets of frequency points to be tested according to the SMTC periods of the frequency points to be tested respectively, and specifically assign the SMTC periods to different discontinuous reception periods arranged in ascending order, Referring to Fig. 3A, wherein, the first set of frequency points to be measured includes frequency points F1, F2 and F3 to be measured; the second set of frequency points to be measured includes frequency points F4 and F5 to be measured, and any The difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of the frequency point to be tested and the duration of the SMTC cycle of other frequency points to be measured in this set is less than the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured and the duration of the second frequency point to be measured The difference in the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be tested in the frequency point set, for example, the difference in the duration of the SMTC cycle of the frequency points F1 and F2 in the first frequency point set to be tested is less than the first set of frequency points to be measured The difference between the SMTC cycle duration of the frequency point F1 to be tested and the frequency point F4 to be tested in the second set of frequency points to be tested. Assign the frequency points F1, F2 and F3 to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested to the first DRX cycle (DRX cycle n) for scheduling, that is, determine the corresponding DRX cycle DRX cycle n of the first set of frequency points to be tested ; Assign F4 and F5 in the second frequency point set to be tested to the second DRX cycle (DRX cycle n+1) for scheduling, that is, determine the frequency point set to be measured #2 corresponding to the discontinuous reception cycle DRX cycle n+ 1.

Optionally, a method for determining frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled in a discontinuous reception cycle is provided, that is, a method for determining frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled in a non-DRX cycle corresponding to the first set of frequency points to be measured , as shown in Figure 3B, the method includes:

S2011. Obtain a time difference between SMTC periods of each frequency point to be measured.

When the UE determines the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be tested, it can further calculate the time difference between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested, so as to determine the time interval between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested. Then determine the frequency points to be measured that need to be scheduled in different discontinuous reception cycles according to the length of the time.

S2012. Determine frequency points to be tested whose time difference is smaller than a preset threshold as all frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled within one DRX cycle.

Among them, the preset threshold is used to measure the length of the interval between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested. If the interval between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested is greater than the preset threshold, it means that each frequency point to be tested The interval between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested is relatively long, and if the interval between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested is not greater than the preset threshold, it means that the interval between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested is short. The preset threshold may be pre-determined by the UE according to scheduling requirements.

In this embodiment, when the UE calculates the time difference between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be tested, it can further compare the time difference with the preset threshold, and make the time difference smaller than the preset threshold The frequencies to be tested are moved to a DRX cycle, and together with the original frequencies to be tested in the DRX cycle are determined as all the frequencies to be tested that need to be scheduled in the DRX cycle.

The method described in the embodiment of FIG. 3C is illustrated as an example. As shown in FIG. 3C, the frequency points to be tested in all DRX cycles include F1, F2, and F3, and the SMTC cycles are 5ms, 10ms, and 80ms respectively, and the existing scheduling methods are as follows: As shown in Figure 1A, the frequency point F1 to be tested is scheduled in the DRX cycle n cycle, the frequency point F2 to be tested is scheduled in the DRX cycle n+1 cycle, and the frequency point F3 to be tested is scheduled in the DRX cycle n+2 cycle. Use the method described in the embodiment of Figure 3B to re-determine all the frequency points to be measured in a DRX cycle (such as DRX cycle n in the figure), and the time difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of the frequency points F1 and F2 to be measured is 5ms , the time difference between the duration of the SMTC period of the frequency points F1 and F3 to be tested is 75ms, and 5ms is less than 75ms,

Therefore, move the frequency point F2 to be tested originally scheduled in DRX cycle n+1 to scheduling in DRX cycle n, see the schematic diagram shown in Figure 3C, and schedule the frequency points F1 and F2 to be tested in the corresponding DRX cycle n, corresponding to The UE power consumption can be reduced without any frequency scheduling in DRX cycle n+1. It should be noted that after using the above method to move the frequency points to be tested in other DRX cycles to one DRX cycle for scheduling, since the frequency points to be measured in other DRX cycles are all one frequency point to be measured (see DRX in Figure 3C frequency point F3 to be tested in cycle n+2), the position of the current SMTC cycle of the frequency point to be tested in other DRX cycles can be directly determined as the scheduling position of the frequency point to be tested, while the frequency point to be tested in other DRX cycles The position of the current SMTC cycle of the frequency measurement point is the position of the SMTC cycle of the frequency point to be measured that coincides with the paging time, or the position of the current SMTC cycle of the frequency point to be measured in other DRX cycles is the position of the frequency point to be measured after the paging time The position of the first SMTC period of the frequency measurement point. The above-mentioned DRX cycle can be any DRX cycle in all DRX cycles, that is, DRX cycle n, DRX cycle n+1, and DRX cycle n+2 in the above-mentioned Figure 3C can all be used as a DRX cycle, and each DRX cycle is specifically determined When the frequency point to be tested within DRX cycle n+1 can be moved to the frequency point F2 to be tested in DRX cycle n, of course, the frequency point F1 to be tested in DRX cycle n can also be moved to DRX cycle n+1 middle. When other frequency points to be tested are moved to a different DRX cycle, all frequency points to be tested included in the DRX cycle constitute a set of frequency points to be tested.

S202. According to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested, determine a scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested in a corresponding DRX cycle.

When the UE determines the discontinuous reception period corresponding to the first set of frequency points to be tested, it can further determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested. When specifically determined, it can be determined according to the SMTC cycle of the frequency points to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured, for example, it can be arranged in ascending order according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in the first frequency point set to be measured Scheduling, as shown in Figure 2B, taking a DRX cycle n cycle as an example for illustration, the frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled in the DRX cycle n cycle include: F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5, these five to-be The SMTC periods of the frequency measurement points are 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 80ms, and 160ms respectively. When determining the scheduling positions of all the frequency points to be measured in the measurement gap gap2, these 5 frequency points to be measured can be adjusted according to the SMTC period from the smallest Arrange in the order of the largest, and then schedule each frequency point to be measured in the measurement gap gap2 according to this order, refer to the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in FIG. 2B in order. Optionally, the UE may also first group the frequency points to be measured included in the first set of frequency points to be measured according to the grouping method described in S101 to obtain multiple groups of frequency points to be tested, and then determine each group of frequency points to be tested The scheduling position of the group and the scheduling of each frequency point to be tested are carried out according to the determined scheduling position. It should be noted that this embodiment describes a method for determining the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested in the corresponding DRX cycle, and determining the location of each frequency point to be tested in the second set of frequency points to be tested The method for scheduling the positions of the frequency points in the corresponding DRX cycle is the same as the method for determining the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested, and will not be repeated here.

Further, a method for the UE to determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the corresponding DRX cycle in the first set of frequency points to be tested is provided, as shown in FIG. 4 , the method includes:

S301. In the DRX cycle corresponding to the first set of frequency points to be tested, determine the SMTC periodic positions of the third frequency point to be tested and the fourth frequency point to be tested.

Wherein, the third frequency point to be tested is the frequency point to be tested with the smallest SMTC period in the first set of frequency points to be measured, and the fourth frequency point to be tested is other frequency points to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be tested. Optional , the fourth frequency point to be tested can be any frequency point to be tested in other frequency points to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested. For example, the fourth frequency point to be tested can be the smallest SMTC period The frequency point to be tested may also be the frequency point to be tested with the largest SMTC cycle among other frequency points to be measured.

In this embodiment, when the UE groups multiple frequency points to be tested to obtain the first set of frequency points to be tested, it may first determine the first frequency point to be tested according to the SMTC period of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested. For the third frequency point to be measured and the fourth frequency point to be measured in the set of frequency measurement points, the SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured are further determined.

S302. In the case that the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured is included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured, set the third The SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of the frequency point to be tested is determined as the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be tested.

In the DRX cycle corresponding to the first set of frequency points to be measured, usually the UE schedules all the frequency points to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured in a measurement gap within the DRX cycle, for example, as shown in Figure 4A The schematic diagram of the measurement gap in the idle state is shown. In FIG. 4A, DRX cycle n is the DRX cycle corresponding to the set of frequency points to be measured, P0 is the paging time within the DRX cycle cycle, and there is a measurement gap gap1 before p0, There is a measurement gap gap2 after P0. In practical applications, the UE can schedule all frequency points to be measured in gap1 or all frequency points to be measured in gap2. In this embodiment, the UE may schedule the third frequency point to be tested and the fourth frequency point to be tested in gap1, or schedule the third frequency point to be tested and the fourth frequency point to be tested in gap2, wherein the third frequency point to be tested The frequency point to be measured and the fourth frequency point to be tested may be frequency points to be tested with the same frequency, or frequency points to be tested with different frequencies. The SMTC period of the third frequency to be tested and the SMTC period of the fourth frequency to be tested may be the same or different.

Wherein, the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured is the SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured which coincides with the paging time, or, the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured is The first SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be tested after the call time. Optionally, the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured can be determined by the frame number or subframe number of the SMTC period of the third frequency point to be measured. The definition of the frame number or subframe number is related in 3GPP 38.331 Instructions, for example, see the following description:

According to 3GPP 38.331

Section 5.5.2.10 Reference signal measurement timing configuration The specific method is as follows:

The UE shall setup the first SS/PBCH block measurement timing configuration(SMTC)in accordance with the received periodicityAndOffset parameter(providing Periodicity and Offset value for the following condition)in the smtc1 configuration.The first subframe of each SMTC occasion occurs at an SFN and subframe of the NR SpCell meeting the following condition:

SFN mod T = (FLOOR(Offset/10));

if the Periodicity is larger than sf5:

subframe = Offset mod 10;

else:

subframe=Offset or(Offset+5);

with T＝CEIL(Periodicity/10).

Wherein, subframe represents a frame number or a subframe number.

In this embodiment, the UE may first determine the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be tested and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be tested according to the paging time. The measurement gap is taken as an example. The UE can determine the SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured that coincides with the paging time as the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured. Point the current SMTC periodic position to determine the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured, such as, as shown in Figure 4B, where smtc n is the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured, smtc n+1 is the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured.

When the UE specifically schedules the third frequency point to be tested and the fourth frequency point to be tested, the UE can first determine the current SMTC periodic position at the third frequency point to be tested and the next SMTC periodic position at the third frequency point to be tested Whether it contains the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured, and in the case of inclusion, directly determine the SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured as the third frequency point to be measured The scheduling position of the point. Specifically, any SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured can be determined as the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be measured. For example, F1 as shown in FIG. 4B is the third frequency point to be measured. Frequency measurement point, F2 is the fourth frequency point to be measured, smtc n is the current SMTC periodic position of F1, smtc n+1 is the next SMTC periodic position of F1, if smtc n and smtc n+1 include the first The SMTC periodic positions (a in the figure) of four frequency points to be measured can be further determined as the scheduling position of F1 by any SMTC periodic position after the smtc n of F1 (any one in the dotted line box in the figure SMTC periodic position).

Optionally, the UE may include the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency to be measured between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured , the SMTC period of the third frequency to be tested is different from the SMTC period of the fourth frequency to be tested, and the current SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency to be tested is determined as the scheduling position of the fourth frequency to be tested.

The frequency point scheduling method provided by the above-mentioned embodiment, by including the SMTC period of the fourth frequency point to be measured between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured In the case of the periodic position, the SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured is determined as the scheduling position of the third frequency to be measured, so as to realize the scheduling of the third frequency to be measured. Wherein, since the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be measured is after the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured, the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be measured is delayed, therefore, the above frequency point scheduling method can realize When the UE schedules each frequency point to be tested, it will be scheduled for a certain period of time, so that the UE can enter a sleep state for a longer period of time in a DRX cycle, or reduce the frequency of the UE's wake-up and sleep transitions in a DRX cycle, so as to The power consumption of the UE is reduced, the service life of the UE is prolonged, and the user experience of using the UE is improved.

Optionally, when the UE specifically determines to determine the SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be tested as the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be tested, it may specifically use the The first SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position is determined as the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be measured, for example, F1 as shown in Figure 4B is the third frequency point to be measured, and F2 is the fourth frequency point to be measured Frequency point, smtc n is the current SMTC periodic position of F1, smtc n+1 is the next SMTC periodic position of F1, if the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured is included between smtc n and smtc n+1 (a in the figure), then the first SMTC periodic position after the smtc n of F1 can be further determined as the scheduling position of F1 (the SMTC periodic position pointed to by b in the dotted line box among the figures). The first SMTC periodic position is determined as the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be measured, then the scheduling positions of the third frequency point to be measured and the fourth frequency point to be measured can be concentrated, for example, as shown in Figure 4B , if the current SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured (F2) is determined as the scheduling position of the fourth frequency point to be measured (the SMTC periodic position pointed to by a in the figure), the third frequency point to be measured (F1 ) The first SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodicity is determined as the scheduling position of the third frequency to be measured, then the scheduling position of F1 and the scheduling position of F2 are relatively concentrated (as shown in a and b in the figure position), overcomes the problem that the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured is easily dispersed due to the dispersal of the SMTC periodic position of each frequency point to be measured in the prior art when determining the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured, and improves The scheduling location concentration of the frequency point to be tested is improved, and the purpose of optimizing the scheduling location of the frequency point to be tested is achieved, thereby reducing the power consumption of the UE.

In practical applications, the UE may also schedule the third frequency point to be tested, the fourth frequency point to be tested, and the fifth frequency point to be tested in the DRX cycle corresponding to the first set of frequency points to be tested. Following the above method of S302, the UE It can be first judged whether the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured and the fifth frequency point to be measured are included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured. The SMTC periodic position of the frequency point, and the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured is included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured In the case of the SMTC periodic position of the fifth frequency point to be measured, since two frequency points to be measured are included, the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured and the SMTC periodic position of the fifth frequency point to be measured It may or may not overlap. Based on these two situations, the scheduling methods of each frequency point to be tested are also different. The two different scheduling methods are described below:

First, if the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be tested and the SMTC periodic position of the fifth frequency point to be tested do not coincide, it means that the SMTC cycle of the fourth frequency point to be tested and the SMTC cycle of the fifth frequency point to be measured Based on this, the UE determines the current SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency to be tested as the scheduling position of the fourth frequency to be tested, and determines the current SMTC periodic position of the fifth frequency to be tested as the fifth The scheduling position of the frequency points to be tested, for example, as shown in Figure 5, F1 is the third frequency point to be tested, F2 is the fourth frequency point to be tested, F3 is the fifth frequency point to be tested, and the current SMTC periodic position of F1 The SMTC periodic position of F2 and the SMTC periodic position of F3 are included between the next SMTC periodic position, and the SMTC periodic position of F2 and the SMTC periodic position of F3 do not overlap (see F2 and F3 in the dashed box The SMTC periodic position of F3), then the current SMTC periodic position of F2 (the position indicated by b in the figure) is determined as the scheduling position of F2, and the current SMTC periodic position of F3 (the position indicated by c among the figures) is determined as The scheduling position of F3. The scheduling position of F1 can be determined according to the above method, that is, the first SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of F1 is determined as the scheduling position of F1, and the position indicated by a in FIG. 5 is the scheduling position of F1.

Second, if the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency to be tested coincides with the SMTC periodicity of the fifth frequency to be tested, it means that the SMTC cycle of the fifth frequency to be tested and the SMTC periodicity of the fifth frequency to be tested Similarly, based on this, the UE determines the current SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency to be tested as the scheduling position of the fourth frequency to be tested, and sets the first SMTC period after the current SMTC periodic position of the fifth frequency to be tested The periodic position is determined as the scheduling position of the fifth frequency point to be measured, for example, F1 as shown in Figure 6 is the third frequency point to be measured, F2 is the fourth frequency point to be measured, and F3 is the fifth frequency point to be measured, The period between the current SMTC periodic position and the next SMTC periodic position of F1 includes the SMTC periodic position of F2 and the SMTC periodic position of F3, and the SMTC periodic position of F2 and the SMTC periodic position of F3 coincide (see virtual The SMTC periodic positions of F2 and F3 in the box), then the current SMTC periodic position of F2 (the position indicated by d in the figure) is determined as the scheduling position of F2, and the first one after the current SMTC periodic position of F3 The periodic position of SMTC (the position indicated by e in the figure) is determined as the scheduling position of F3. The scheduling position of F1 can be determined according to the above method, that is, the first SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of F1 is determined as the scheduling position of F1, and the position indicated by a in FIG. 6 is the scheduling position of F1.

The above-mentioned embodiment provides a scheduling method for frequency points to be tested that coincide with SMTC periodic positions, so that when the UE performs scheduling according to the scheduling positions of each frequency point to be measured, it can avoid conflict scheduling of overlapping frequency points to be measured, and can also Centralized scheduling of overlapping frequency points to be tested, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing UE power consumption.

The above-mentioned embodiments are based on the situation that the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured is included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured The scheduling method of each frequency point to be tested, in practical applications, the fourth frequency point to be tested may not be included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be tested and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured The SMTC periodic position of the frequency point, in this case, update the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured to the current SMTC periodic position, and return to execute the current SMTC cycle at the third frequency point to be measured When the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured is included between the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured, the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured will be The step of determining the periodic position of the SMTC as the scheduling position of the third frequency point to be tested.

In this embodiment, when the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency to be measured is not included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency to be measured , slide the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be tested, specifically slide the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be tested to the next SMTC periodic position, and move the next The SMTC periodic position slides to the next SMTC periodic position of the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be tested, for example, F1 as shown in Figure 7 is the third frequency point to be measured, and F2 is the fourth frequency point to be measured frequency point, the SMTC periodic position of F2 is not included between the current SMTC periodic position of F1 and the next SMTC periodic position, then the next SMTC periodic position of F1 (the position indicated by B in the figure) is updated to the current position of F1 The SMTC periodic position of F1 (the original current SMTC periodic position of F1 is the position indicated by A), and the next SMTC periodic position of F1's next SMTC periodic position (the position indicated by C in the figure) is updated to F1 The next SMTC periodic position of F1 (the original next SMTC periodic position of F1 is the position indicated by B).

When the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured are updated, the UE can re-determine the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the first Whether the next SMTC periodic position of the three frequency points to be measured contains the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured, and in the case of inclusion, based on the method described in S302, determine the scheduling of each frequency point to be measured The location is used for frequency scheduling. Only when the SMTC periodic position of the fourth frequency point to be measured is included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured, each The scheduling position of the frequency point to be tested, and the SMTC periodicity of the fourth frequency point to be measured is not included between the current SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the third frequency point to be measured In the case of unsure of the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested, the concentration of the scheduling positions of each frequency point to be tested can be improved, and centralized scheduling can be performed within one DRX cycle, thereby reducing UE power consumption.

In practical applications, when the UE groups multiple frequency points to be measured to obtain the first set of frequency points to be measured and the second set of frequency points to be measured, some of the first set of frequency points to be measured or the second set of frequency points to be measured The set can contain multiple frequency points to be tested, or only one frequency point to be tested. When multiple frequency points to be measured are included, all the frequency points to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured or the second set of frequency points to be measured can be grouped to determine the frequencies to be measured in each group in a set of frequency points to be measured. The scheduling position of the point, so that the time interval between the scheduling positions of each group is longer than the preset duration, so as to lengthen the time length between the scheduling positions of each group. Based on this, the present application also provides a scheduling method, as shown in Figure 8, the method includes:

S401. Group multiple frequency points to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in the first set of frequency points to be measured, to obtain at least two subsets of frequency points to be measured.

Wherein, the difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the subset of frequency points to be measured and the duration of the SMTC cycle of other frequency points to be measured is smaller than the first preset threshold. The difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the subset of frequency points to be measured and the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the subset of frequency points to be measured is greater than a second preset threshold. The first preset threshold is used to evaluate whether the duration between the SMTC cycles of each frequency point to be measured in a frequency measurement point subset is small, and the second preset threshold is used to evaluate the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured in a different frequency measurement point subset Is the time between them longer. The first preset threshold and the second preset threshold may be predetermined by grouping requirements.

This embodiment relates to a method for grouping frequency points to be tested in a set of frequency points to be tested, so as to obtain multiple subsets of frequency points to be tested, so as to schedule each frequency point to be tested in each subset of frequency points to be tested. . For the specific grouping method involved in this embodiment, refer to the grouping method described in S101 in the foregoing embodiment of FIG. 2 , and details are not described here. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after the first set of frequency points to be measured is grouped, the difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the subset of frequency points to be measured and the duration of the SMTC cycle of other frequency points to be measured is If the difference is smaller than the preset threshold, it means that the SMTC periods of the frequency points to be measured in the frequency point subsets to be measured after grouping are similar. The difference between the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the subset of frequency points to be measured and the duration of the SMTC cycle of any frequency point to be measured in the other frequency point subsets to be measured is greater than the second preset threshold, indicating that each grouped frequency point to be tested The interval between the SMTC cycles of the frequency point subsets is relatively long, so as to lengthen the time interval between the frequency point subsets to be measured.

S402. Determine a sixth frequency point to be measured and a seventh frequency point to be measured in each frequency point subset to be measured.

Among them, the sixth frequency point to be tested is the frequency point to be tested with the smallest SMTC cycle in the frequency point subset to be tested, and the seventh frequency point to be tested is other frequency points to be measured in the frequency point subset to be tested. Optionally, the seventh frequency point to be measured The point can be any frequency point to be measured in other frequency points to be measured in the subset of frequency points to be measured. For example, the seventh frequency point to be measured can be the frequency point to be measured with the smallest SMTC period among other frequency points to be measured, or it can be Among the other frequency points to be measured, the frequency point to be measured has the largest SMTC period.

In this embodiment, when the UE groups multiple frequency points to be measured in a set of frequency points to be measured to obtain at least two subsets of frequency points to be measured, it can determine the sixth frequency point to be measured in each subset of frequency points to be measured. point and the seventh frequency point to be measured, and then further determine the scheduling position of the sixth frequency point to be measured and the scheduling position of the seventh frequency point to be measured in each frequency point subset to be measured according to the method described in the aforementioned S301, and finally based on each frequency point to be measured The scheduling position of the subset of frequency measurement points is used to schedule the frequency points to be measured in each subset. It should be noted that the sixth frequency point to be tested in this embodiment corresponds to the third frequency point to be tested in the aforementioned embodiment of FIG. corresponding to the frequency point.

In the frequency point scheduling method provided by the foregoing embodiments, by grouping each frequency point to be measured in each frequency point set to be measured, on the one hand, the SMTC periodic positions of each frequency point subset to be measured obtained after grouping are pulled between For a certain period of time, the UE can enter a sleep state for a longer period of time in a DRX cycle, or reduce the frequency of UE wake-up and sleep transitions in a DRX cycle, thereby reducing the power consumption of the UE and prolonging the service life of the UE , and improve the user experience of using the UE; on the other hand, the SMTC periodic position distribution of each frequency point to be tested in each frequency point subset to be tested is relatively concentrated, so as to overcome the prior art to determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested Due to the dispersal of the SMTC periodic positions of each frequency point to be measured, the dispatching position of each frequency point to be measured is easily dispersed, which improves the concentration of the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be measured in each group, and can also achieve The purpose of optimizing the scheduling position of each group of frequency points to be tested is to reduce the power consumption of the UE, prolong the service life of the UE, and improve the user experience of using the UE.

Further, a method for the UE to determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in each frequency point subset to be measured is provided, as shown in FIG. 9 , the method includes:

S501. In a discontinuous receiving period corresponding to the subset of frequency points to be measured, determine the SMTC periodic positions of the sixth frequency point to be measured and the seventh frequency point to be measured.

This embodiment relates to a method for determining the periodic positions of the sixth frequency point to be measured and the seventh frequency point to be measured in each frequency point subset to be measured. For details, refer to the method described in S301 above, and details will not be described here. It should be noted that the sixth frequency point to be tested in this embodiment corresponds to the third frequency point to be tested in the aforementioned S301, and the seventh frequency point to be tested corresponds to the fourth frequency point to be tested in the aforementioned S301.

S502. In the case that the SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency point to be measured is included between the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured, set the sixth The first SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of the frequency point to be tested is determined as the scheduling position of the sixth frequency point to be measured.

Wherein, the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured is the position of the SMTC cycle of the sixth frequency point to be measured which coincides with the paging time in the discontinuous reception cycle, or the current SMTC period of the sixth frequency point to be measured The periodic position is the first SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be tested after the paging moment.

This embodiment relates to a method for determining the scheduling positions of the sixth frequency point to be tested and the seventh frequency point to be tested in each frequency point subset to be tested. For details, refer to the method described in S302 above, which will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the sixth frequency point to be tested in this embodiment corresponds to the third frequency point to be tested in the aforementioned S302, and the seventh frequency point to be tested corresponds to the fourth frequency point to be tested in the aforementioned S302.

Optionally, the UE may include the SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency to be measured between the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency to be measured , the SMTC period of the sixth frequency to be tested is different from the SMTC period of the seventh frequency to be tested, and the current SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency to be tested is determined as the scheduling position of the seventh frequency to be tested.

In practical applications, the UE may also schedule the sixth frequency point to be tested, the seventh frequency point to be tested, and the eighth frequency point to be tested in the discontinuous reception period corresponding to the set of frequency points to be tested. Following the above method of S502, the UE It can be first judged whether the SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency to be tested and the eighth frequency to be tested are included between the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency to be tested and the next SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency to be tested. The SMTC periodic position of the frequency point, if the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured include the SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency point to be measured and The SMTC periodic position of the eighth frequency point to be measured, and the SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency point to be measured do not coincide with the SMTC periodic position of the eighth frequency point to be measured, then the current SMTC of the seventh frequency point to be measured The periodic position is determined as the scheduling position of the seventh frequency point to be measured, and the current SMTC periodic position of the eighth frequency point to be measured is determined as the scheduling position of the eighth frequency point to be measured; if the current SMTC of the sixth frequency point to be measured In the case where the periodical position and the next SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured include the SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency point to be measured and the SMTC periodic position of the eighth frequency point to be measured, if the seventh The SMTC periodic position of the frequency point to be measured coincides with the SMTC periodic position of the eighth frequency point to be measured, then the current SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency point to be measured is determined as the scheduling position of the seventh frequency point to be measured, and the The first SMTC periodic position following the current SMTC periodic position of the eighth frequency to be tested is determined as the scheduling position of the eighth frequency to be tested.

In another case, when the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency to be measured and the next SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency to be measured do not contain the SMTC periodic position of the seventh frequency to be measured Next, update the next SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured to the current SMTC periodic position, and return to execute the next step between the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency point to be measured and the sixth frequency point to be measured In the case of the SMTC periodic position containing the seventh frequency to be measured between one SMTC periodic position, the SMTC periodic position after the current SMTC periodic position of the sixth frequency to be measured is determined as the sixth frequency to be measured The step of the scheduling location of the point.

The above-mentioned embodiments are basically consistent with the method for determining the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the first set of frequency points to be tested described above. For details, please refer to the foregoing description, which will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the sixth frequency point to be tested in this embodiment corresponds to the third frequency point to be tested in the foregoing embodiments, and the seventh frequency point to be tested corresponds to the fourth frequency point to be measured in the foregoing embodiments. The eighth frequency point to be tested corresponds to the fifth frequency point to be tested in the foregoing embodiments.

In summary of all the above embodiments, the present application also provides a scheduling method for each frequency point to be measured in each set of frequency points to be measured or in each subset of frequency points to be measured, as shown in FIG. 10 , the method includes:

S601. Determine a target measurement gap and all frequency points to be measured in the current DRX cycle.

In the idle state of the existing NR system, since a set of frequency points to be measured or all frequency points to be measured in a subset of frequency points to be measured can be scheduled in one DRX cycle, and all frequency points to be measured to be scheduled in each DRX cycle The point and the scheduling method are the same, so this embodiment takes one DRX cycle, that is, the current DRX cycle as an example for illustration.

Wherein, the target measurement gap can be any measurement gap in the current DRX cycle, and can also be a measurement gap determined by the UE in advance according to the measurement requirements. For example, the schematic diagram of the measurement gap in the idle state shown in FIG. 4A, in FIG. 4A, P0 is the paging time in each DRX cycle. There is a measurement gap gap1 before P0, and there is a measurement gap gap2 after P0. In practical applications, UE can schedule all frequency points to be measured in gap1 or in gap2 All frequency points to be measured. All frequency points to be tested are all frequency points to be tested included in a set of frequency points to be tested that need to be scheduled in the current DRX cycle, or all frequency points to be tested included in a subset of frequency points to be tested. All the frequency points to be tested may include frequency points to be tested with the same frequency, or frequency points to be tested with different frequencies.

In this embodiment, the UE groups multiple frequency points to be tested based on the foregoing embodiments to obtain multiple sets of frequency points to be measured, or further groups the frequency points to be tested in the set of frequency points to be measured to obtain multiple When the subset of frequency points to be measured and the DRX cycle corresponding to the set of frequency points to be measured are determined based on the foregoing steps, all frequency points to be measured that need to be measured in the current DRX cycle can be determined. In addition, the UE can pre-determine the available measurement gaps in the current DRX cycle according to the current DRX cycle and the paging time, and then further select a measurement gap from the available measurement gaps as the target measurement gap, for example, as shown in Figure 4A In DRX cycle n, determine gap2 as the target measurement gap, and then schedule all frequency points to be measured within the target measurement gap.

S602. Group the frequency points to be measured according to the SMTC period of each frequency point to be measured to obtain at least two groups of frequency points to be measured.

This embodiment relates to a method for grouping multiple frequency points to be tested. This method is consistent with the grouping method described in S101 in the embodiment of FIG.

S603. Determine, according to the SMTC period of each frequency point to be measured, the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in each frequency point group to be measured in the target measurement gap.

Wherein, the interval between the scheduling positions of each frequency point group to be tested is longer than the preset time length; the scheduling position of the frequency point group to be tested is the scheduling position of any frequency point to be measured in the frequency point group to be tested.

The above preset duration is the duration determined by the UE in advance according to the actual scheduling requirements, and is used to measure the length of the interval between the scheduling positions of each frequency point group to be tested. When the interval between the scheduling positions of each frequency point group to be measured is When it is greater than the preset duration, it is determined that the interval between the scheduling positions of each frequency point group to be tested is longer; when the interval between the scheduling positions of each frequency point group to be measured is not greater than the preset duration, it is determined that each The interval between the scheduling positions of the frequency group is short.

In this embodiment, after the UE groups all frequency points to be tested, it can determine the scheduling position of each group of frequency points to be tested. Since the methods for determining the scheduling positions of each group of frequency points to be tested are the same, this embodiment A group of frequency point groups to be tested is taken as an example for illustration. Before the UE schedules each frequency point to be tested in a group, it needs to determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the group. Specifically, according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be tested in the group, the target measurement Select an SMTC periodic position of each frequency point to be tested in sequence in the gap to determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured, so that the scheduling positions of each frequency point to be measured do not overlap, for example, in the schematic diagram shown in Figure 10A , the frequency point group #1 to be tested contains 3 frequency points to be tested F1, F2 and F3, and its SMTC periods are 5ms, 10ms, and 20ms respectively, so an SMTC periodic position of the frequency point to be measured F1 can be determined (Fig. The position indicated by a) is used as the scheduling position of F1, and an SMTC periodic position (the position indicated by b in the figure) of the frequency point F2 to be tested can be determined as the scheduling position of F2, and an SMTC of the frequency point F3 to be measured can be determined The periodic position (the position indicated by c in the figure) is used as the scheduling position of F3. After the UE determines the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in each group of frequency points to be measured, it can schedule each frequency point to be tested, so as to implement measurement on each frequency point to be tested later.

In the frequency point scheduling method provided by the above embodiments, by determining the target measurement gap and all frequency points to be measured in the current DRX cycle, and grouping the frequency points to be measured according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured, at least two frequency points to be measured are obtained. The group of frequency points to be measured, and the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in each frequency point group to be measured in the target measurement gap are determined according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured, so as to realize the scheduling of all frequency points to be measured. Wherein, because the determined interval between the scheduling positions of each frequency point group to be tested is longer than the preset time length, the time length between the scheduling positions of each frequency point group to be tested is lengthened, so that the UE can receive After scheduling each frequency point to be tested in each frequency point group to be tested within a period, it may enter a sleep state for a longer period of time, thereby reducing power consumption of the UE. In addition, before determining the scheduling positions of all the frequency points to be tested, the UE groups all the frequency points to be tested, so that the distribution of the SMTC periodic positions of the frequency points to be tested in each group is relatively concentrated, which overcomes the problem of determining The scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested is easily dispersed due to the dispersal of the SMTC periodic position of each frequency point to be tested, which improves the frequency of each frequency point to be tested in each group. The scheduling location concentration achieves the goal of optimizing the scheduling location of each group of frequency points to be tested, thereby reducing the power consumption of the UE, prolonging the service life of the UE, and improving the user experience of using the UE.

In an embodiment, when the UE determines the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in each frequency point group to be tested, the scheduling positions of each frequency point to be tested in each frequency point group to be tested can be concentrated as much as possible, Therefore, the UE can schedule and complete all frequency points to be tested in each frequency point group to be tested within a short period of time, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption of the UE. Based on this, the present application provides a scheduling method for each frequency point group to be tested to achieve the above-mentioned effect, and the following embodiment specifically illustrates the method.

Fig. 11 is a specific implementation of S603 in the embodiment of Fig. 10, as shown in Fig. 11, the method includes:

S701. Determine a first target frequency point in each frequency point group to be tested.

Wherein, the first target frequency point is the frequency point to be tested with the smallest SMTC cycle in the frequency point group to be tested.

In this embodiment, when the UE determines the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in a frequency point group to be tested, it can first filter out the frequency point to be tested with the smallest SMTC cycle from the group of frequency points to be tested, that is, the first target Frequency points, for example, taking the frequency point group #1 to be tested in FIG. 10A as an example, the frequency point F1 to be tested in this group is the frequency point with the smallest SMTC period. In order to determine the scheduling positions of other frequency points to be tested in the group of frequency points to be tested according to the position of the SMTC period of the first target frequency point.

S702. According to the SMTC period of the first target frequency point and the SMTC periods of other frequency points to be tested in the frequency point group to be tested, determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the frequency point group to be tested.

When the UE acquires the SMTC cycle of the first target frequency in the frequency point group to be tested and the SMTC cycle of other frequency points to be tested, it can first select an SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point to determine as the first target The scheduling position of the frequency points, and then correspondingly for other frequency points to be measured, select an SMTC periodic position corresponding to each other frequency point to be measured as the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured, as long as the group of frequency points to be measured It is sufficient that the scheduling positions of the frequency points to be tested do not overlap.

Optionally, a specific implementation method is provided in which the UE determines the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured corresponding to the frequency point group to be measured according to the SMTC period of the first target frequency point, as shown in FIG. 12 , the method includes:

S801. Determine the current SMTC periodic position and the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point according to the paging time.

Wherein, the current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency is the SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency coincident with the paging time, or, the current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency is after the paging time The first SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point.

It should be noted that the current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point can be determined by the frame number or subframe number of the SMTC period of the first target frequency point. The definition of the frame number or subframe number is described in 3GPP 38.331 , for example, see the following description:

According to 3GPP 38.331

Section 5.5.2.10 Reference signal measurement timing configuration The specific method is as follows:

The UE shall setup the first SS/PBCH block measurement timing configuration(SMTC)in accordance with the received periodicityAndOffset parameter(providing Periodicity and Offset value for the following condition)in the smtc1 configuration.The first subframe of each SMTC occasion occurs at an SFN and subframe of the NR SpCell meeting the following condition:

SFN modT = (FLOOR(Offset/10));

if the Periodicity is larger than sf5:

subframe = Offset mod 10;

else:

subframe=Offset or(Offset+5);

with T＝CEIL(Periodicity/10).

Wherein, subframe represents a frame number or a subframe number.

In this embodiment, when the UE determines the target measurement gap, it can be the measurement gap before the paging time (such as gap1 in FIG. 4A ), or it can be the measurement gap after the paging time (such as gap2 in FIG. 4A ). Therefore, when the UE determines the target measurement gap, it can further determine the current SMTC periodic position and the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point according to the paging time. In this embodiment, the measurement gap after the paging time is taken as the target measurement gap as an example. The UE may determine the SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency that coincides with the paging time as the current SMTC of the first target frequency. Periodic position, and relative to the current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point, determine the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point, for example, as shown in Figure 4A, where smtc n is the first target frequency point Click the current SMTC periodic position, and smtc n+1 is the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point.

S802. Judging whether there are other SMTC periodic positions of frequency points to be measured between the current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point and the next SMTC periodic position, and obtaining a judgment result.

When the UE determines the current SMTC periodic position and the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency, it can further determine the time between the current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency and the next SMTC periodic position Whether there are SMTC periodic positions of other measurement frequency points in the interval, and select different scheduling methods according to different judgment results to determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in the frequency point group to be measured. For example, as shown in Figure 12A, it is determined whether the time interval between smtc n and smtc n+1 contains the SMTC periodic position of other frequency points to be measured, and F2 is included between smtc n and smtc n+1 in Figure 12A One SMTC periodic position b of F3 and one SMTC periodic position c of F3.

S803, determine the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in the frequency point group to be measured according to the judgment result, if the judgment result is that there are other SMTC periodic positions of the frequency point to be measured, then perform step S804, if the judgment result is that there are no other frequency points to be measured If the SMTC periodic position of the frequency measurement point is determined, step S805 is executed.

If the judging result is that there are SMTC periodic positions of other frequency points to be measured, the UE can further determine the corresponding frequency points in the group of frequency points to be measured according to the first target frequency point and the SMTC periodic positions of other frequency points to be measured. For the scheduling position of the frequency measurement point, refer to the following step S804 for the specific determination method; if the judgment result is that there is no other SMTC periodic position of the frequency point to be measured, then specifically perform the following step S805.

S804, determining the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point as the scheduling position of the first target frequency point, and determining the scheduling position of each other frequency point to be measured according to the current SMTC periodic position of each other frequency point to be measured .

When the above judgment result is that there are other SMTC periodic positions of frequency points to be measured, the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point can be determined as the scheduling position of the first target frequency point, and then other frequency points to be measured are determined in turn. The scheduling position of the frequency measurement point can be determined as the scheduling position of each of the other frequency points to be measured, such as Frequency point group #1 to be measured shown in Figure 12A, F1 is the first target frequency point, the position of determining the next SMTC period of the first target frequency point is the scheduling position of the first target frequency point (indicated by a in the figure position), an SMTC periodic position b of other frequency point F2 to be measured is the scheduling position of F2, and an SMTC periodic position c of other frequency point F3 to be measured is the scheduling position of F3.

S805, use the next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency as the new current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency, and return to execute the judgment of the current SMTC periodic position and the next SMTC period of the first target frequency Whether there is a step of SMTC periodic positions of other frequency points to be measured between the periodic positions.

When the result of the above judgment is that there is no other SMTC periodic position of the frequency to be measured, you can slide the current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency to the next SMTC periodic position, that is, the next SMTC of the first target frequency The periodic position is used as the new current SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point, and then the next SMTC periodic position away from the new current SMTC periodic position is determined as the new next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point position, and then return to perform the above steps of S802, based on the new current SMTC periodic position and the new next SMTC periodic position of the first target frequency point, obtain a new judgment result again, and then determine the to-be-tested result according to the new judgment result The scheduling position of each frequency point to be tested in the frequency point group.

Optionally, when the UE determines the scheduling positions of other frequency points to be tested, as shown in Figure 13, the following methods may also be used:

S901. Determine whether other frequency points to be tested include overlapping frequency points. If other frequency points to be tested include overlapping frequency points, perform step S902. If other frequency points to be tested do not include overlapping frequency points, perform step S903.

Among them, the coincident frequency point refers to the frequency point with the same SMTC periodic position among other frequency points to be tested. For example, if the SMTC period of frequency point F1 is 10ms, and the SMTC period of frequency point F2 is also 10ms, then frequency point F1 and frequency point The SMTC periodicity position of point F2 is the same, that is, frequency point F1 and frequency point F2 are coincident frequency points.

Since in practical applications, overlapping frequency points may exist in a frequency point group to be measured, it is necessary to first determine whether other frequency points to be measured contain overlapping frequency points, and if overlapping frequency points are included, then perform the steps described in step S902. The method determines the scheduling position of overlapping frequency points, so that the scheduling positions of overlapping frequency points are staggered, so as to avoid causing conflict scheduling problems; if the overlapping frequency points are not included, perform the method described in step S903 to determine the scheduling of other frequency points to be measured Location.

S902. Determine the current SMTC periodic position of the second target frequency in the overlapping frequency points as the scheduling position of the second target frequency point, and use any other overlapping frequency point in the overlapping frequency points as a new second target frequency point , and take the next SMTC periodic position of any other coincident frequency point as the current SMTC periodic position of the new second target frequency point, and return to execute the current SMTC periodicity of the second target frequency point in the coincident frequency point The step of determining the position as the scheduling position of the second target frequency point until the scheduling positions of all conflicting frequency points are determined; if there is an unscheduled frequency point to be measured in other frequency points to be measured except the overlapping frequency point, then Determine the current SMTC periodic position of an unscheduled frequency to be tested as the scheduling position of an unscheduled frequency to be tested; if there are multiple unscheduled For the frequencies to be tested, return to the step of determining the first target frequency in each frequency group to be tested until the scheduling positions of all frequency points to be tested in each frequency group to be tested are determined.

Wherein, the second target frequency point may be any frequency point among overlapping frequency points. The current SMTC periodic position of the second target frequency is the SMTC periodic position of the second target frequency that coincides with the paging time, or the current SMTC periodic position of the second target frequency is the second after the paging time The first SMTC periodic position of the target frequency point.

The method described in the above steps is illustrated as an example, as shown in Figure 13A, all frequency points to be measured in the discontinuous reception cycle DRX cycle n are F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6, and the corresponding SMTC cycles are 5 ms respectively , 10ms, 10ms, 40ms, 80ms, 160ms, divide these 6 frequency points to be tested into two groups: frequency point group #1 to be tested and frequency point group to be tested #2, frequency point group #1 to be tested includes Frequency measurement points F1, F2, F3, frequency point group #2 to be measured includes frequency points F4, F5 and F6 to be measured, and frequency point group #1 to be measured is used as an example to illustrate, and the frequency point to be measured can be determined according to the steps in S802. The time interval between the current SMTC periodic position (smtc n) of point F1 and the next SMTC periodic position (smtc n+1) contains the SMTC periodic positions of frequency points F2 and F3 to be measured, and the frequency points to be measured Since F2 and F3 have the same SMTC periodic position, F2 and F3 are coincident frequency points. Further, any frequency point in F2 and F3 is used as the second target frequency point. In the figure, F2 is used as the second target frequency point, and then The current SMTC periodic position of F2 can be determined as the scheduling position of F2, see the SMTC periodic position b in F2 in Figure 13A, and then use other overlapping frequency point F3 as the new second target frequency point, and set F3 The next SMTC periodic position of F3 is used as the current SMTC periodic position of the new second target frequency point, and finally the current SMTC periodic position of the new second target frequency point F3 is used as the scheduling position of the new second target frequency point, For example, referring to FIG. 13A , F3 is a new second target frequency point, and the corresponding scheduling position of F3 is SMTC periodic position c of F3.

After determining the scheduling positions of overlapping frequency points in other frequency points to be measured, it can be further determined whether other frequency points to be measured also include unscheduled frequency points to be measured, and the number of unscheduled frequency points to be measured, If it contains an unscheduled frequency point to be tested, the current SMTC periodic position of this unscheduled frequency point to be tested is directly determined as the scheduling position of this unscheduled frequency point to be tested, if other frequency points to be tested If there are multiple unscheduled frequency points to be tested, return to the step of S801 to determine the scheduling positions of multiple unscheduled frequency points to be tested, and use the above method to repeat until the frequency point to be measured is determined. up to the scheduling positions of all frequency points to be tested in the group.

S903, determining the frequency point to be measured with the largest SMTC cycle among other frequency points to be measured as the third target frequency point, and determining the current SMTC periodic position of the third target frequency point as the scheduling position of the third target frequency point; if If there is an unscheduled frequency point to be measured in other frequency points to be tested except the third target frequency point, the current SMTC periodic position of an unscheduled frequency point to be tested is determined as an unscheduled frequency point to be measured If there are multiple unscheduled frequency points to be measured in other frequency points to be measured except the third target frequency point, return to the step of determining the first target frequency point in each frequency point group to be measured, Until the scheduling positions of all frequency points to be tested in each frequency point group to be tested are determined.

Wherein, the current SMTC periodic position of the third target frequency is the SMTC periodic position of the third target frequency coincident with the paging time, or, the current SMTC periodic position of the third target frequency is after the paging time The first SMTC periodic position of the third target frequency point.

The method described in the above steps is exemplarily described. As shown in FIG. 13A, the frequency point group #2 to be tested is used as an example for illustration. According to the steps of S801, the current SMTC periodic position (smtc The time interval between n) and the next SMTC periodic position (smtc n+1) contains the SMTC periodic positions of other frequency points F5 and F6 to be tested, and then select SMTC among the frequency points F5 and F6 to be measured The frequency point F6 with the largest period is used as the third target frequency point, and then the current SMTC periodic position f of other frequency points F6 to be tested is determined as the scheduling configuration of the frequency point F6 to be tested, and then continue to judge the frequency point group #2 Whether there are unscheduled frequency points to be tested, and the frequency point group #2 to be tested at this time also contains an unscheduled frequency point to be tested F5, then directly determine the current SMTC periodic position of the frequency point to be tested F5 is the scheduling position of the frequency point F5 to be tested.

The frequency point scheduling method described in the above-mentioned embodiments considers the scheduling scenarios with overlapping frequency points, and also considers the scheduling scenarios without overlapping frequency points, that is, fully considers any scheduling scenarios that may occur in practical applications, so the above implementation The scheduling method provided by the example can be applied to frequency point scheduling in any scenario, and has a wider application range.

In one embodiment, since three grouping methods are provided in the description of S101 in the foregoing embodiment in FIG. , that is, the above S302 "group the frequency points to be measured according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured to obtain at least two groups of frequency points to be measured", including: according to the SMTC cycle of each frequency point to be measured and at least one preset cycle threshold , to group the frequency points to be measured to obtain at least two groups of frequency points to be measured.

Wherein, the preset period threshold may be determined by the UE in advance according to grouping requirements.

In this embodiment, when the UE acquires all frequency points to be tested, all frequency points to be tested may be further grouped according to a preset preset period threshold to obtain at least two groups of frequency points to be tested. For example, as shown in Figure 13A, assuming that the preset cycle threshold can be set to 30ms, then the frequency points F1, F2 and F3 to be tested with the SMTC cycle less than 30ms are grouped into one group to obtain the frequency point group #1 to be tested; the SMTC The frequency points F4, F5 and F6 to be tested with a cycle greater than 30 ms are divided into one group to obtain the frequency point group #2 to be tested. Grouping using the above method can make the SMTC periodic positions of the frequency points to be measured in the frequency point group #1 or the frequency point group #2 to be measured relatively similar, so that the frequency points in each frequency point group to be measured can be The scheduling positions of the frequency points to be tested are more concentrated, for example, referring to the scheduling position a of F1, the scheduling position b of F2 and the scheduling position c of F3 in the frequency point group #1 in Figure 13A are more concentrated, the The scheduling position d of F4, the scheduling position e of F5, and the scheduling position f of F6 in frequency point group #2 are more concentrated, and then the scheduling position of frequency point group #1 to be tested and the frequency point group #2 to be measured can be made There is a long time interval between the scheduling positions, so that the UE can enter a longer sleep time between the scheduling position of the frequency point group #1 to be tested and the scheduling position of the frequency point group #2 to be tested, so as to reduce the UE's Power consumption. Moreover, it can also reduce the switching frequency of UE wake-up and sleep, and also reduce the power consumption of the UE to a certain extent.

In practical applications, since the UE can schedule the frequency points to be measured at any measurement gap in the current discontinuous reception cycle, but when faced with scheduling multiple frequency points to be measured at a time, selecting an appropriate measurement gap can improve the frequency points to be measured. Based on the scheduling efficiency of the frequency measurement points, this application provides a method for specifically determining the target measurement gap, as shown in Figure 14, the "determining the target measurement gap in the current discontinuous reception cycle" in the above S601 includes :

S1001. Receive SIB1 information, and determine a paging time according to the SIB1 information.

Wherein, the paging time is the time when the paging message is received in the discontinuous reception cycle, which can be calculated by the UE according to relevant configuration parameters. In this embodiment, the UE may receive the system information block SIB1 information sent by the base station/network side, further extract relevant configuration parameters from the SIB1 information, and calculate the paging time according to the relevant configuration parameters.

S1002. Determine at least two candidate measurement gaps according to the paging time and the current discontinuous reception cycle.

Wherein, the candidate measurement gap is a measurement gap available for frequency point scheduling in the current discontinuous reception period. In this embodiment, when the UE determines the current DRX cycle and the paging time, it may select the time period before the paging time and the time period after the paging time in the current DRX cycle as candidate measurement gaps. For example, in the schematic diagram shown in FIG. 4A , P0 is the calculated paging time, and gap1 and gap2 are available measurement gaps, that is, two candidate measurement gaps.

S1003. Determine the longest measurement gap among the candidate measurement gaps as the target measurement gap.

When the UE determines multiple candidate measurement gaps, it may further determine the measurement gap with the longest duration as the target measurement gap. Due to the long duration of the target measurement gap, it is easy to complete the scheduling of all frequency points to be measured at one time, thereby improving the scheduling efficiency of all frequency points to be measured, and when the number of frequency points to be measured is large, it is possible to avoid some frequency points to be measured. The point cannot be scheduled normally.

The scheduling method provided by any of the above embodiments can be applied to a variety of scheduling scenarios in the idle state of the NR system, that is, scheduling scenarios in which different frequencies are scheduled in different discontinuous reception periods, and in a discontinuous reception period Scheduling scenarios with multiple frequency points, so this frequency point scheduling method is more widely used. Moreover, when scheduling different frequency points in different discontinuous reception cycles, by moving the frequency points to be measured in other discontinuous reception cycles to the current discontinuous reception cycle for scheduling, so that other discontinuous reception cycles appear to be idle. The continuous receiving cycle reduces the scheduling consumption of the UE, thereby reducing the power consumption of the UE. When scheduling multiple frequency points in a discontinuous reception cycle, by optimizing the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in the current discontinuous reception cycle, the scheduling position of each frequency point to be measured in the current discontinuous reception cycle is more efficient. Centralized, and the scheduling position between each group of frequency points to be tested is prolonged for a long time, which increases the time for the UE to go to sleep state, and also reduces the frequency of UE wake-up and sleep transition, thereby greatly reducing the UE's Power consumption.

It should be understood that although the various steps in the flow charts of FIGS. 2-14 are displayed sequentially as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed sequentially in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some of the steps in Figures 2-14 may include multiple steps or stages, these steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same moment, but may be executed at different moments, the execution of these steps or stages The sequence is not necessarily performed sequentially, but may be performed alternately or alternately with other steps or at least a part of steps or stages in other steps.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15 , a frequency point scheduling device is provided, including:
