Technical field

本发明涉及通信领域，特别是涉及测量邻小区信号的方法、确定测量邻小区所需空隙（gap ) 的方法、网络装置以及用户设备。 The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a method for measuring a neighbor cell signal, a method for determining a gap required to measure a neighbor cell, a network device, and a user equipment.

背景技术 Background technique

为促进 3G通信技术的持续发展，第三代伙伴计划（ 3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project )提出并部署 3G长期演进（ LTE, Long Term Evolution ) 工作。在 LTE 中，主要需解决的技术问题是：获得更高的用户数据率、改进系统容量和覆盖以及合理灵活的 3G频谱分配。 To promote the continued development of 3G communication technologies, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) proposes and deploys 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE). In LTE, the main technical issues to be addressed are: higher user data rates, improved system capacity and coverage, and reasonably flexible 3G spectrum allocation.

为解决上述技术问题，在 LTE中 UE需要对邻小区进行测量以便执行切换或小区重选。所述测量包括：对同系统相邻小区的测量和对异系统小区的测量。同系统小区的测量包括同频测量和异频测量两种。单模手机的 UE进行异频测量时，网络侧需要告诉 UE测量的测量空隙 measurement ga 简称 gap。异系统小区的测量包括对 WCDMA小区的测量以及对 GSM小区的测量等。 UE在测量异系统的邻区时也需要利用测量空隙 gap。 To solve the above technical problem, in LTE, a UE needs to measure a neighboring cell in order to perform handover or cell reselection. The measurements include measurements on neighboring cells in the same system and measurements on cells in a different system. Measurements in the same system cell include both on-frequency measurement and inter-frequency measurement. When the UE of the single-mode mobile phone performs the inter-frequency measurement, the network side needs to tell the UE to measure the measurement gap measurement ga referred to as gap. Measurements of different system cells include measurements on WCDMA cells and measurements on GSM cells. The UE also needs to utilize the measurement gap gap when measuring the neighboring areas of the different systems.

在进行本发明创造过程中，发明人发现上述现有利用测量 gap进行测量邻小区信号的技术中至少存在以下技术问题： In carrying out the creation process of the present invention, the inventors have found that at least the following technical problems exist in the prior art technique of measuring a neighbor cell signal using a measurement gap:

无论是异频测量还是异系统小区的测量，都需要利用测量空隙 gap, 但这个 gap应该如何取值，目前尚无相关方法，以至于无法进行邻小区信号的测量，实现 LTE的目标。 Whether it is an inter-frequency measurement or a measurement of a different system cell, it is necessary to use the measurement gap gap, but how this gap should be valued, there is no relevant method, so that the measurement of the neighbor cell signal cannot be performed, and the target of LTE is achieved.

步骤 C: 上报所述测量的结果到网络侧； Step C: reporting the result of the measurement to the network side;

其中，所述步骤 A中 gap信息指示的时间包括以下至少一种： The time indicated by the gap information in the step A includes at least one of the following:

至少等于两个同步符号的时间长度； At least equal to the length of time of two synchronization symbols;

至少等于包含同步符号的两个子帧之间的时间长度； At least equal to the length of time between two subframes containing the synchronization symbol;

The same as below.

以上实施方式可以看出，针对 LTE 系统中用户设备进行异频测量或异系统测量都需要测量 gap以便测量邻小区信号的需求，提出一种适用于 LTE系统测量邻小区信号中下发测量 gap的方法，当然，该方法也可以用于其他类似系统中。所述测量 gap釆用以下具体方式来确定： The above implementation manner can be seen that the inter-frequency measurement or the heterogeneous measurement is performed on the user equipment in the LTE system. The measurement of the system needs to measure the gap in order to measure the signal of the neighboring cell. A method for measuring the gap in the neighboring cell signal measured by the LTE system is proposed. Of course, the method can also be used in other similar systems. The measurement gap is determined in the following specific way:

1 )考虑邻小区同步信号的因素，则最好的情况下，邻小区的同步信号正好落在了 gap内，比如图 2中，第一个时隙中表示主同步信道（P-SCH )信号的第 6个符号、表示辅同步信道（S-SCH )信号的第 7个符号这两个同步符号正好落在 gap内，则该 gap至少等于两个同步符号的时间长度； 1) Considering the factors of the neighbor cell synchronization signal, in the best case, the synchronization signal of the neighboring cell falls within the gap. For example, in FIG. 2, the first time slot represents the primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) signal. The sixth symbol, the seventh symbol representing the seventh synchronization symbol of the secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) signal, falls within the gap, and the gap is at least equal to the length of time of the two synchronization symbols;

2 )考虑要保证至少两个同步符号都落在 gap内的因素，则该 gap至少等于包含同步符号的两个子帧之间的时间长度，也即等于同步信号或同步符号发送的时间间隔长度，同步信号或同步符号包括主同步信号或同步符号、辅同步信号或同步符号，比如图 2中，主同步信号或同步符号和辅同步信号或同步符号都是以 Tl=5ms的时间间隔在发送； 2) Considering the factor to ensure that at least two synchronization symbols fall within the gap, the gap is at least equal to the length of time between two subframes containing the synchronization symbol, that is, equal to the length of the interval between the synchronization signal or the synchronization symbol transmission. The synchronization signal or synchronization symbol includes a primary synchronization signal or a synchronization symbol, a secondary synchronization signal or a synchronization symbol. For example, in FIG. 2, the primary synchronization signal or the synchronization symbol and the secondary synchronization signal or the synchronization symbol are all transmitted at a time interval of T1=5 ms;

3 )考虑邻小区同步信号和测量的因素，则所述 gap至少等于两个同步符号的时间长度与两个测量的导频符号之间的时间长度之和； 3) considering the neighboring cell synchronization signal and the measured factor, the gap is at least equal to the sum of the length of time of the two synchronization symbols and the length of time between the two measured pilot symbols;

4 )考虑要至少两个同步符号都落在 gap内和测量的因素，则该 gap至少时间长度之和； 4) considering that at least two synchronization symbols fall within the gap and measure the factor, then the gap is at least the sum of the lengths of time;

5 )考虑频率转换和异系统 WCDMA中邻小区同步的因素，则该 gap至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度与 WCDMA邻小区同步最短的时间长度之和，上述与 WCDMA邻小区同步最短需要 2 ms, 占 WCDMA中一帧的 3个时隙； 5) Considering the factors of frequency conversion and neighbor cell synchronization in WCDMA, the gap is at least equal to the sum of the time length required for frequency conversion and the shortest time length of WCDMA neighbor cell synchronization. The above synchronization with WCDMA neighboring cell requires a minimum of 2 ms. , occupying 3 time slots of one frame in WCDMA;

6 )考虑频率转换和同系统中邻小区同步信号的因素，则 gap至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度与两个同步符号的时间长度之和； 6) Considering the frequency conversion and the synchronization signal of the neighboring cell in the system, the gap is at least equal to the sum of the length of time required for frequency conversion and the length of time of two synchronization symbols;

7 )考虑频率转换和要至少两个同步符号都落在 gap 内的因素，则该 gap 度之和； 7) considering the frequency conversion and the factor that at least two synchronization symbols fall within the gap, then the sum of the degrees of the gap;

8 )考虑频率转换、邻小区同步信号和测量的因素，则该 gap至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度、两个同步符号的时间长度、与两个测量的导频符号之间的时间长度之和； 8) Considering the factors of frequency conversion, neighbor cell synchronization signal and measurement, the gap is at least equal to the length of time required for frequency conversion, the length of time of two synchronization symbols, and the length of time between two measured pilot symbols. with;

9 )考虑频率转换、测量和要至少两个同步符号都落在 gap内的因素，则所述 gap至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度、两个测量的导频符号之间的时间通过以上具体确定测量 gap的方式得到测量 gap并下发给用户设备，可以实现邻小区信号的测量，因而可以才艮据测量结果获得更高的用户数据率、改进系统容量和覆盖以及合理灵活的 3G频谱分配；并且，解决了 LTE中尚无相关确定 ga 方法的问题。 9) Consider frequency conversion, measurement, and factors that require at least two synchronization symbols to fall within the gap. The gap is at least equal to the length of the time required for the frequency conversion, and the time between the two measured pilot symbols is obtained by measuring the gap in the above manner, and the measurement gap is obtained and sent to the user equipment, so that the measurement of the neighboring cell signal can be implemented. Therefore, it is possible to obtain higher user data rates, improve system capacity and coverage, and reasonable and flexible 3G spectrum allocation according to the measurement results; and solve the problem that there is no relevant determination method in LTE.

本发明提供确定测量邻小区所需 gap的方法第一实施方式，包括： gap指示的时间长度用于测量邻小区，并且按照以下至少一种方法确定 gap的时间长度： The present invention provides a first embodiment of a method for determining a gap required for measuring a neighboring cell, including: a time length indicated by a gap for measuring a neighboring cell, and determining a time length of the gap according to at least one of the following methods:

至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度、两个测量的导频符号之间的时间长以上实施方式可以看出，由于针对 LTE 系统中用户设备进行异频测量或异系统测量都需要测量 gap以便测量邻小区信号的需求，提出一种适用于 LTE 系统测量邻小区信号中确定测量 gap的具体方法，从而便于通过以上网络侧具体确定测量 gap的方式以实现邻小区信号的测量，解决了 LTE中尚无相关确定 gap方法的问题。为使本发明的目的、技术方案、及优点更加清楚明白，以下参照附图并举实施方式，对本发明进一步详细说明。 At least equal to the length of time required for frequency conversion and the length of time between two measured pilot symbols. As can be seen from the implementation, since the inter-frequency measurement or the inter-system measurement is performed for the user equipment in the LTE system, it is necessary to measure the gap for measurement. A specific method for determining the measurement gap in the neighboring cell signal is proposed in the LTE system, so that the measurement of the gap is determined by the above network side to achieve the measurement of the neighboring cell signal, and the LTE is still solved. There is no correlation to determine the problem with the gap method. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

参阅图 1 , 本发明测量邻小区信号的方法第二实施方式包括步骤：步骤 101 : 网络侧下发 gap信息； Referring to FIG. 1 , a method for measuring a signal of a neighboring cell according to the present invention includes: Step 101: The network side sends a gap information;

网络侧需要准备 ga 信息， gap信息可以是 gap或 gap序列。 gap序列内包含两个或多个 gap序列参数，每个 gap序列参数可以包括 gap长度、测量起始时间（指测量从哪个子帧开始或哪个时隙开始）和 /或 gap序列的长度等。 ga 信息也可以是其他形式，比如测量 gap的形式、测量起始时间和 /或 gap周期等参数形式。首先需要预定用户设备测量所利用的 gap或 gap序列参数里面所携带的测量邻小区的时间信息，即指示用户设备测量邻小区的时间长度，例如 gap长度；如果事先预定了 gap或 gap序列，还可以确定其他信息，如测量起始时间和周期等；网络侧将上述 gap信息下发给用户设备，告诉用户设备利用该 gap的时间长度和其他相关信息来对邻小区信号进行测量。 The network side needs to prepare ga information, and the gap information may be a gap or a gap sequence. The gap sequence contains two or more gap sequence parameters, and each gap sequence parameter may include a gap length, a measurement start time (refer to which subframe from which the measurement starts or which slot is measured), and/or the length of the gap sequence, and the like. The ga information can also be in other forms, such as the form of the measurement gap, the measurement start time, and/or the gap period. First, the time information of the measurement neighboring cell carried in the gap or gap sequence parameter used by the user equipment measurement is required, that is, the time length of the neighboring cell is measured by the user equipment, for example, the length of the gap; if the gap or gap sequence is reserved in advance, Other information, such as the measurement start time and period, may be determined; the network side sends the above gap information to the user equipment, and tells the user equipment to use the length of the gap and other related information to measure the neighbor cell signal.

上述 gap信息指示的时间长度包括以下至少一种： The length of time indicated by the above gap information includes at least one of the following:

A、对于测量同系统中邻小区的情况： A. For measuring the neighboring cell in the same system:

一、不考虑频率转换所需的时间来确定 gap: First, do not consider the time required for frequency conversion to determine the gap:

1 )考虑邻小区同步信号的因素，则最好的情况下，邻小区的同步信号正好落在了 gap内，所述 gap至少等于两个同步符号的时间长度； gap的长度可以是同步符号的倍数，比如，现有物理层帧结构设计中，有一种一个时隙包括 7个符号，一个时隙 0.5ms, 那么此时，一个符号的时间长度为： 0.071 ms, 则 gap的长度可以是同步符号的倍数，如 0.21 ms ( 3个同步符号）、 0.28 ms ( 4 个同步符号）等；也可以是时隙的倍数，比如 0.5 , 1 , 1.5 , 2 ms等； 1) Considering the factors of the neighbor cell synchronization signal, in the best case, the synchronization signal of the neighboring cell falls within the gap, the gap is at least equal to the time length of the two synchronization symbols; the length of the gap may be the synchronization symbol. Multiple, for example, in the existing physical layer frame structure design, there is a time slot including 7 symbols, a time slot 0.5ms, then, at this time, the length of a symbol is: 0.071 ms, then the length of the gap can be synchronous a multiple of a symbol, such as 0.21 ms (3 sync symbols), 0.28 ms (4 sync symbols), etc.; it can also be a multiple of a time slot, such as 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 ms, etc.;

2 )考虑要至少两个同步符号都落在 gap内的因素，则所述 gap至少等于包含同步符号的两个子帧之间的时间长度，比如至少等于 5 .5 ms, 或者， gap 的长度是以 5.5为首项、以时隙为公差的等差序列中的一个，比如： 5.5 , 6, 6.5 , 7 ms等中的一个；也可以是以 1 ms为公差的等差序列中的一个，比如 6 , 7 ms 等中的一个； 2) Considering the factor that at least two synchronization symbols fall within the gap, the gap is at least equal to the length of time between two subframes containing the synchronization symbol, such as at least equal to 5.5 ms, or the length of the gap is One of the equal-difference sequences with 5.5 as the first term and the time slot as the tolerance, such as one of 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7 ms, etc.; or one of the sequences of the tolerances with a tolerance of 1 ms, such as One of 6, 7 ms, etc.;

3 ) 同时考虑邻小区同步信号和调度数据的因素，则所述 gap至少等于两个同步符号的时间长度，所述 gap可以是以所述两个同步符号的时间长度为首项的等差序列中的任一个，所述等差序列的公差是网络侧调度数据时最小的时域资源单位；比如所述最小的调度时域资源单位是 l ms, 这种情况下， gap的长度是 1 ms的整数倍。可以用以下公式表示： 3) Considering the factors of the neighbor cell synchronization signal and the scheduling data, the gap is at least equal to the time length of two synchronization symbols, and the gap may be based on the length of time of the two synchronization symbols. Any one of the difference sequences of the items, the tolerance of the equal sequence is the smallest time domain resource unit when the network side schedules data; for example, the minimum scheduled time domain resource unit is 1 ms, in this case, the gap The length is an integer multiple of 1 ms. Can be expressed by the following formula:

gap长度 >= Ceil{两个同步符号的时间长度 } , 这种情况下， gap的长度是 1 ms的整数倍。 Gap length >= Ceil{the length of time of two sync symbols } , in this case, the length of the gap is an integer multiple of 1 ms.

二、不考虑频率转换所需的时间，同时考虑测量的因素来确定 gap: Second, do not consider the time required for frequency conversion, and consider the measurement factors to determine the gap:

B、对于测量异系统中邻小区的情况： B. For measuring the neighboring cell in a different system:

这里举 WCDMA为例，考虑频率转换和异系统 WCDMA中邻小区同步的因素，则所述 gap至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度与 WCDMA邻小区同步最短的时间长度之和，当然，同领域技术人员也可以直接根据以下实施例的原理，得到其他异系统测量的 gap长度，如 GSM, GERAN, 下以 WCDMA为例力 p以说明； Taking WCDMA as an example, considering the factors of frequency conversion and neighbor cell synchronization in WCDMA, the gap is at least equal to the sum of the time length required for frequency conversion and the shortest time length of WCDMA neighbor cell synchronization. Of course, the same technology Personnel can also directly obtain the gap length measured by other different systems according to the principle of the following embodiments, such as GSM, GERAN, and take WCDMA as an example to illustrate;

用户设备在进行测量前，首先调整接收机的频率到 WCDMA小区的频率，并与邻区进行同步；这里举一个例子，如果不考虑频率转换的时间，对于 WCDMA小区的同步过程来说，同步所需的最小时间，也即 UE需要的最小 ga 长度是 2 ms, 因为 WCDMA中的辅同步信道（ S-SCH )上有小区码组的信息， 15个时隙上有 15个序列，用户设备至少需要识别出 3个序列才可以识别出码组，识别 3个序列即需要 3个时隙的时间长度， 3个时隙长度为 2 ms。 Before performing measurement, the user equipment first adjusts the frequency of the receiver to the frequency of the WCDMA cell and synchronizes with the neighboring cell. For example, if the time of frequency conversion is not considered, for the synchronization process of the WCDMA cell, the synchronization station The minimum time required, that is, the minimum ga length required by the UE is 2 ms, because there are cell code group information on the secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) in WCDMA, 15 sequences on 15 time slots, and at least the user equipment It is necessary to identify three sequences to identify the code group, and to identify three sequences, that is, the length of time required for three time slots, and the length of three time slots is 2 ms.

如果考虑频率转换的时间，那么： If you consider the time of frequency conversion, then:

最小的 gap长度 = 2ms + 频率转换所需的时间长度； Minimum gap length = 2ms + length of time required for frequency conversion;

例如，频率转换的时间长度通常为 lms, 那么由上面的公式可以知道，最小的 gap长度为 3ms,如果 gap长度大于 3ms也可以，比如可以为 5ms或 6ms; For example, the length of the frequency conversion is usually lms, then the above formula can be known, the minimum gap length is 3ms, if the gap length is greater than 3ms, for example, it can be 5ms or 6ms;

同时如果考虑调度的单位 (1 ms), 则： Also, if you consider the unit of scheduling (1 ms), then:

gap长度可取： Ceil{同步符号的长度 + 频率转换的长度}。 The length of the gap can be: Ceil {length of the sync symbol + length of the frequency conversion}.

如果下发的是 gap序列，那么不同的 gap序列参数可以包括上述不同方式所确定的 gap长度、测量起始时间和 /或 gap序列的长度等。 If the gap sequence is delivered, different gap sequence parameters may include the different methods described above. The determined gap length, measurement start time, and/or length of the gap sequence, and the like.

另外，每个 gap的长度具体还可以是以上述任一个最小 gap长度为首项、以导频符号为公差的等差序列中的一个。 In addition, the length of each gap may specifically be one of the equal difference sequences with the minimum gap length as the first item and the pilot symbol as the tolerance.

步骤 102: 接收网络侧下发的上述 gap信息； Step 102: Receive the above gap information delivered by the network side.

网络侧下发上述 gap信息，包括釆用上述一种确定 gap的方法确定的 gap。该 gap信息可以是 gap及相应的周期信息，该 gap具体可以是一个，也可以是多个。如果是一个，则用户设备直接接收该 gap信息；如果下发上述确定 gap 的方法确定的两个或两个以上的 gap,则可以由用户设备选择其中一种。该 gap 信息还可以是 gap序列，则用户也是直接接收该 gap序列。 The network side sends the above gap information, including the gap determined by the foregoing method for determining a gap. The gap information may be a gap and corresponding period information, and the gap may be one or more. If it is one, the user equipment directly receives the gap information; if two or more gaps determined by the method for determining the gap are issued, one of the user equipments may select one of them. The gap information may also be a gap sequence, and the user also directly receives the gap sequence.

步骤 103: 在上述下发的 gap信息指示的时间内进行测量； Step 103: Perform measurement in the time indicated by the gap information sent by the foregoing;

用户设备接收到该 gap序列或 gap ,根据该 gap序列或 gap所指示的时间，在该指示的时间内对邻小区信号进行测试。该指示的时间可以如步骤 101所示的至少一个： The user equipment receives the gap sequence or gap, and tests the neighbor cell signal within the indicated time according to the time indicated by the gap sequence or the gap. The indicated time may be at least one of the steps shown in step 101:

至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度、两个测量的导频符号之间的时间长当然， gap长度至少等于频率转换所需的时间长度的情况下，显然包括以下任意一种：频率转换所需的时间长度与两个同步符号的时间长度之和；和； At least equal to the length of time required for frequency conversion, the length of time between two measured pilot symbols. Of course, if the gap length is at least equal to the length of time required for frequency conversion, it is obviously included Any of the following: the sum of the length of time required for frequency conversion and the length of time of two sync symbols;

频率转换所需的时间长度、两个同步符号的时间长度、与两个测量的导频符号之间的时间长度之和； The length of time required for frequency conversion, the length of time between two sync symbols, and the length of time between two measured pilot symbols;

频率转换所需的时间长度、两个测量的导频符号之间的时间长度、与包含同步符号的两个子帧之间的时间长度之和。频率转换所需的时间长度为所属技术领域的技术人员公知，即频率转换到邻小区及频率从邻小区转换到本小区所需要的时间长度。在上述时间内，如果考虑到频率转换，则用户设备首先调整接收机的频率到邻小区的频率，并与邻区进行同步。 The length of time required for frequency conversion, the length of time between two measured pilot symbols, and the length of time between two subframes containing synchronization symbols. The length of time required for frequency conversion is well known to those skilled in the art, i.e., the length of time required for the frequency to transition to the neighboring cell and the frequency to transition from the neighboring cell to the local cell. During the above time, if frequency conversion is considered, the user equipment first adjusts the frequency of the receiver to the frequency of the neighboring cell and synchronizes with the neighboring cell.

参阅图 2, 同步时，用户设备先与 P-SCH ( Synchronization channel, 同步信道）同步，再与 S-SCH同步。图中， P-SCH、 S-SCH位于一帧的第 0个时隙以及第 10个时隙。一帧为 10 ms, 包括 10个 1 ms的子帧（ subframe ), 每个子帧包括 2个时隙（slot )。这里，时隙从 0开始计数。 Referring to Figure 2, during synchronization, the user equipment synchronizes with the P-SCH (Synchronization Channel) and then synchronizes with the S-SCH. In the figure, the P-SCH and the S-SCH are located in the 0th slot and the 10th slot of a frame. One frame is 10 ms, including 10 1 ms subframes, and each subframe includes 2 slots. Here, the time slot starts counting from 0.

测得邻小区导频信号后，得出测量结果。所述测量邻小区的具体方法可以按照现有技术测量邻小区的方法进行，不再赘叙。 After the pilot signal of the neighboring cell is measured, the measurement result is obtained. The specific method for measuring the neighboring cell can be performed according to the method for measuring the neighboring cell in the prior art, and is not described again.

步骤 104: 上报上述测量的结果到网络侧； Step 104: Report the result of the foregoing measurement to the network side;

在 gap规定的时间内测量邻小区信号并得到测量结果后，将该结果上报给网络侧，完成测量。 After measuring the neighbor cell signal and obtaining the measurement result within the time specified by the gap, the result is reported to the network side to complete the measurement.

另外，触发本发明提供的测量邻小区信号的方法的具体方式有多种，比如：第一个方法：由用户设备在需要测量时向网络侧的基站 NodeB发送请求，网络侧的 NodeB则根据用户设备的请求为用户设备分配 gap序列、 gap和 /或 gap周期。 In addition, there are various specific methods for triggering the method for measuring the neighbor cell signal provided by the present invention. For example, the first method: the user equipment sends a request to the base station NodeB on the network side when the measurement is needed, and the NodeB on the network side according to the user. The device's request assigns a gap sequence, gap, and/or gap period to the user device.

第二个方法：网络侧在测量开始时下发 gap序列、 gap和 /或 gap周期。在测量过程中，网络侧可以通过发送短的命令 commands来控制用户设备是否在上述下发的 gap期间内进行测量。比如，网络侧可以发送一个 1比特的信息指示用户设备某个 gap/gap pattern是 on还是 off, 如果是 off, 则用户设备本次不再利用 gap进行测量，用户设备可以利用该段时间执行资源调度等其他处理；如果是 on, 则用户设备在该 gap内进行测量。本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述方法实施方式中的全部或部分步骤是可以通过程序来指令相关的硬件来完成，所述的程序可以存储于计算机可读取存储介质中，该程序在执行时，可以包括前述本发明测量邻小区信号的方法或确定测量邻小区所需 gap的方法各个实施方式的内容。这里所称的存储介质，如： ROM/RAM, 磁碟、光盘等。 The second method: The network side sends the gap sequence, gap and/or gap period at the beginning of the measurement. During the measurement process, the network side can control whether the user equipment performs measurement during the above-mentioned gap period by sending a short command command. For example, the network side can send a 1-bit information to indicate whether a gap/gap pattern of the user equipment is on or off. If it is off, the user equipment does not use the gap for measurement at this time, and the user equipment can use the time to execute the resource. Other processing such as scheduling; if it is on, the user equipment performs measurements within the gap. A person skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the steps of implementing the above method embodiments can be completed by a program to instruct related hardware, and the program can be stored in a computer readable storage medium, when the program is executed. The method of the foregoing method for measuring a neighbor cell signal or the method for determining a method for measuring a gap required by a neighboring cell may be included. The storage medium referred to herein is, for example, a ROM/RAM, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or the like.

As can be seen from the network device implementation, since the inter-frequency measurement or the inter-system measurement is performed for the user equipment in the LTE system, the gap needs to be measured. In order to measure the demand of the neighbor cell signal, a gap providing unit 310 for providing a measurement gap is designed in the network device, and is sent to the transmitting unit 320 for use. The user equipment is convenient for the user equipment to use the measurement gap specifically determined by the network side to implement the measurement of the neighbor cell signal, and solves the problem that the GSM method has no relevant determination of the gap method, and can obtain a higher user data rate and improve the system in LTE.
