technical field

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular, to a measurement gap configuration method, device, device, and storage medium.

Background technique

When the terminal (or also called user equipment, User Equipment, UE) receiver bandwidth is not enough to cover both the serving frequency and the frequency of the cell to be measured, a measurement gap (gap) needs to be defined. Within the measurement gap, the terminal is interrupted The service between the service cell and the serving cell, and the measurement of the cell to be measured is carried out at a certain interval.

The New Radio (NR) system supports three gap measurement configurations, per-UE measurement gap, per-FR1 measurement gap and per-FR2 measurement gap. The measurement gap of FR1 is the measurement gap of FR1 (Frequency Range 1, 450MHz-6000MHz, corresponding to the middle and low frequency), and the measurement gap of FR2 is the measurement gap of FR2 (Frequency Range 2, 24250MHz-52600MHz, corresponding to high frequency).

However, in the dual connectivity scenario of the current NR system, only one per-UE measurement gap can be configured on the network side (per-FR measurement gap cannot be configured at this time); or, the per-FR1 measurement gap and per-FR2 measurement gap can be configured on the network side at the same time Gap measurement, but only one per-FR1 measurement gap and one per-FR2 measurement gap can be configured at most, which limits the flexibility of network configuration measurement gap and prolongs the measurement period of the terminal.

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the various embodiments of the present disclosure, some relevant background knowledge is firstly introduced as follows.

(1) Measure the gap

When the bandwidth of the terminal receiver is not enough to cover both the serving frequency and the frequency of the cell to be measured, a measurement gap needs to be defined. Within the measurement gap, the terminal interrupts the service with the serving cell and measures the cell to be measured with a certain gap . Whether a measurement needs to measure the gap depends on the terminal capability, the activated bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP) and the specific conditions of the measurement object.

The New Radio (NR) system supports three gap measurement configurations, per-UE measurement gap, per-FR1 measurement gap and per-FR2 measurement gap. The measurement gap of FR1 is the measurement gap of FR1 (Frequency Range 1, 450MHz-6000MHz, corresponding to the middle and low frequency), and the measurement gap of FR2 is the measurement gap of FR2 (Frequency Range 2, 24250MHz-52600MHz, corresponding to high frequency). Among them, the per-UE gap measurement must be supported by the terminal, and the per-FR gap measurement requires the terminal reporting capability. In the current NR system, only one per-UE measurement gap can be configured on the network side, and the per-FR measurement gap cannot be configured at this time; the per-FR1 measurement gap and the per-FR2 measurement gap can be configured on the network side at the same time, but at most it can only Configure a per-FR1 measurement gap and a per-FR2 measurement gap.

(2) Measurement configuration

Measurement Object (MO): It defines what the measurement target is, including the measurement object identifier (Identifier, ID) and the specific configuration of the corresponding measurement target. Connected state NR measurement currently supports two pilot measurements: including radio resource management based on synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB) and channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) pilot ( Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurement.

Report Configuration: defines the measurement reporting criteria, including the specific configuration of the measurement reporting identifier (ID) and the corresponding measurement reporting criteria.

Measurement ID: a single ID that associates a specific measurement object with a specific reporting configuration.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the measurement configuration delivery association relationship provided by the related technology. As shown in Figure 1, each group of measurements is associated and configured according to the index method. The total index is the measurement identifier measId, and all measurements are completely in accordance with the association relationship of the measurement identifier. Arrange and send to the terminal through the network side. Each measurement ID will be connected to a measurement object ID and a reporting configuration ID at the same time, indicating the combination of the measurement object ID and the reporting configuration ID that needs to be measured. Even if the measurement object ID and the reporting configuration ID that are not connected to the measurement ID are sent to terminal, and no measurements of any kind will be made.

In the current NR system, multiple dual connectivity (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity, MR-DC) scenarios are supported, including (NG)EN-DC, NE-DC and NR-DC. Regardless of the dual connectivity scenario, the network side can only configure one per-UE measurement gap (Measurement Gap, MG), or one per-FR1 MG and one per-FR2 MG, which limits the network configuration MG flexibility, and prolong the measurement cycle of the terminal.

To address the above problems, various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution that supports configuring multiple MGs (which may be called concurrent MGs) for a terminal at the same time in a dual-connection scenario, so as to improve the flexibility of configuring MGs in the network and reduce the measurement of terminals. cycle.

FIG. 2 is one of the flow diagrams of the measurement gap configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to the terminal, as shown in FIG. 2 , the method includes the following steps:

Step 200, receiving the concurrent MG configuration information of the concurrent measurement gap, the concurrent MG configuration information is used to provide the terminal with the concurrent MG used to perform the measurement on the master node MN side and/or the slave node SN side measurement;

Specifically, concurrent MG (coexisting measurement gap) can be understood as multiple measurement gaps that can coexist at the same time. Different from the prior art, in the concurrent MG mechanism, the network side can simultaneously configure per-UE concurrent MG and per-FR1 The number of concurrent MGs and per-FR2 concurrent MGs is not limited, and multiple concurrent MGs of different types can be configured at the same time.

Embodiments of the present disclosure support configuring multiple concurrent MGs for a terminal at the same time in a dual connection scenario, and the network side (Master Node (MN) and/or Secondary Node (SN)) may determine the concurrent MGs configured for the terminal ( Including the time domain position where the concurrent MG appears, etc.), and sending the concurrent MG configuration information including the concurrent MG to the terminal, so that the terminal selects the corresponding concurrent MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

Step 201, determine the MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information.

Specifically, after receiving the concurrent MG configuration information, the terminal can determine which measurements on the MN side and/or which measurements on the SN side are applicable to each concurrent MG contained therein, for example, according to the received concurrent MG from which network node MG configuration information is used to determine which network node the concurrent MG is applicable to, and it can also be determined according to other indication information. Further, the terminal may also determine at least one of the measurement object identifier, measurement frequency point and measurement pilot type of the MN side and/or SN side applicable to the concurrent MG. Therefore, according to the determined measurements applicable to each concurrent MG, the terminal can select the corresponding concurrent MG when performing MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement.

In the measurement gap configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can receive the concurrent MG configuration information sent by the network side, and determine the scope of application of each concurrent MG, so that the corresponding MG can be selected when performing MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement. Concurrent MG realizes that in the dual connection scenario, it is not limited by the type and number of MGs, and configures multiple MGs for the terminal at the same time, thereby improving the flexibility of configuring MGs in the network and reducing the measurement cycle of the terminal.

Optionally, receive concurrent MG configuration information, including:

receiving the first concurrent MG configuration information sent by the MN, where the first concurrent MG configuration information is used to provide the terminal with all types of concurrent MGs used to perform MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement; or,

Respectively receive the second concurrent MG configuration information sent by the MN and the third concurrent MG configuration information sent by the SN; wherein the second concurrent MG configuration information is used to provide the terminal with per- The UE concurrent MG and/or per-FR1 concurrent MG, the third concurrent MG configuration information is used to provide the terminal with the per-FR2 concurrent MG used to perform MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

Specifically, the network side decides to configure the concurrent MG for the terminal, and there may be multiple implementations.

For example, in the case that the MN can determine all types of concurrent MGs, that is, per-UE concurrent MGs, per-FR1 concurrent MGs and per-FR2 concurrent MGs can all be configured by the MN. In this case, the MN can be responsible for configuring the terminal to perform all measurements (including MN-side measurement and SN-side measurement. It can be understood that if the network node on a certain side does not configure the terminal for measurement, all measurements include only another All types of concurrent MGs used by the network node on the side of the terminal); the MN can also only be responsible for configuring all types of concurrent MGs used by the terminal to perform measurements on the MN side, and the SN is responsible for configuring the types of concurrent MGs used by the terminal to perform measurements on the SN side All types of concurrent MG.

For example, MN and SN can also determine some types of concurrent MGs respectively. For example, MN decides per-UE and per-FR1 concurrent MG, SN decides per-FR2 concurrent MG; or, MN decides per-UE and per-FR2 concurrent MG, SN decides per-FR1 concurrent MG; or, MN decides per-FR1 and per-FR2 concurrent MG, SN decides per-UE concurrent MG; or, MN decides per-UE concurrent MG, SN decides per-FR1 and per-FR2 concurrent MG; or, MN decides per-FR1 concurrent MG, SN decides per- UE and per-FR2 concurrent MG; or, MN decides per-FR2 concurrent MG, SN decides per-UE and per-FR1 concurrent MG. In the case where the MN and the SN respectively determine some types of concurrent MGs, the MN can be responsible for configuring the first type of concurrent MG (such as per-UE and per-FR1) used by the terminal to perform all measurements, and the SN is responsible for configuring the terminal to perform Concurrent MG of the second type (i.e. other than the first type, such as per-FR2) used for all measurements.

After the MN and /SN determine the concurrent MG configuration information, they can send the concurrent MG configuration information to the terminal. The sending method can be sent by the decision node, or a certain network node (such as MN or SN) can be responsible for sending all the concurrent MG configuration information. MG.

Optionally, determine the MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information, including:

Based on the network node sending the concurrent MG configuration information, determine the MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information; or,

Receive indication information sent by the MN and/or SN, where the indication information is used to indicate the applicable relationship between each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information and the MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement;

Based on the indication information, determine the MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information.

Specifically, after receiving the concurrent MG configuration information, the terminal needs to determine which measurements on the MN side and/or which measurements on the SN side are applicable to each concurrent MG contained therein, wherein the determination methods may have the following two methods.

In the first way, after receiving the concurrent MG configuration information sent by the network side, the terminal can determine the MN side measurement and/or SN side applicable to each concurrent MG included in the concurrent MG configuration information based on the network node that sent the concurrent MG configuration information Measurement, for example, for the concurrent MG configuration information received from the MN side, the terminal can default that the concurrent MG in the concurrent MG configuration information is applicable to the measurement of the MN side; for the concurrent MG configuration information received from the SN side, the terminal can default The concurrent MG indicated in the concurrent MG configuration information is applicable to the measurement on the SN side.

In the second way, the terminal can determine the MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG contained in the concurrent MG configuration information according to the indication information sent by the MN and/or SN, and the indication information can indicate that each concurrent MG and Applicable relationships between MN-side measurements and/or SN-side measurements. Wherein, the indication information can be sent by the network node (such as MN) that sends the concurrent MG configuration information, and can also be sent by another network node (such as SN) other than the network node that sends the concurrent MG configuration information, or the MN can send the concurrent MG and The applicable relationship between the measurements on the MN side, the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG sent by the SN and the measurements on the SN side.

The instruction information sent by the MN and/or SN can be included in the concurrent MG configuration information and sent to the terminal, or it can be sent to the terminal in other ways, for example, it can be included in other information other than the concurrent MG configuration information and sent to the terminal separately, specifically The implementation manner can be determined by the network node that sends the indication information as needed, and is not limited here.

Optionally, the content indicated in the instruction information may include any one or a combination of the following:

The measurement object identification applicable to concurrent MG;

Measurement frequency point and/or measurement pilot type applicable to concurrent MG;

Whether the measurement applicable to the concurrent MG is the measurement on the MN side or the measurement on the SN side.

For example, in the indication information sent by the MN to the terminal, it may: 1) indicate whether each measurement object identifier is a measurement object identifier on the SN side (or indicate whether each measurement object identifier is on the MN side or the SN side); or, 2) carry whether Applicable to the SN side (or MN side) indication; or, 3) Display carrying concurrent MG applicable SN side frequency point information and/or measurement pilot type (for the MN cannot obtain the SN side measurement object identification corresponding to the measurement frequency point relationship situation).

In the indication information sent by the SN to the terminal, it may: 1) indicate whether each measurement object identifier is a measurement object identifier on the SN side (or indicate whether each measurement object identifier is on the MN side or the SN side); or, 2) carry whether it is applicable to Indication on the SN side (or MN side); or, 3) displaying the MN side frequency point information and/or measurement pilot type that carries the concurrent MG applicable Condition).

Optionally, based on the indication information, determine the MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information, including:

Based on the network node sending the indication information, determine the MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information.

Specifically, after receiving the indication information sent by the network side, the terminal may also determine the MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG contained in the concurrent MG configuration information based on the network node that sent the indication information, for example, in If the indication information does not clearly indicate that the concurrent MG is applicable to the measurement on the MN side or the SN side, the terminal can determine which network node the concurrent MG is applicable to by default based on the indication information received from the network node (further including the measurement object identification, measurement frequency point, measurement pilot type, etc.).

Optionally, based on the network node sending the indication information, determine the MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement applicable to each concurrent MG included in the concurrent MG configuration information, including:

If the network node sending the indication information is a MN, the concurrent MG indicated in the default indication information is applicable to the measurement on the MN side; or,

If the network node sending the indication information is the SN, the concurrent MG indicated in the default indication information is applicable to the measurement on the SN side.

For example, for the indication information received from the MN side, the terminal may default that the concurrent MG indicated in the indication information is applicable to the measurement on the MN side. For example, the indication information may only indicate the measurement object identifier applicable to a certain concurrent MG (such as MO1 ), but does not explicitly indicate whether the MO1 is the MO1 on the MN side or the MO1 on the SN side, then the terminal can determine that the concurrent MG is applicable to the MO1 on the MN side according to the indication information from the MN. Similarly, for the indication information received from the SN side, the terminal can default that the concurrent MG indicated in the indication information is applicable to the measurement on the SN side, so as to determine the scope of application of the concurrent MG.

FIG. 3 is the second schematic flow diagram of the measurement gap configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to the master node MN. As shown in FIG. 3 , the method includes the following steps:

Step 300, determine the concurrent MG configuration information that can coexist in the measurement gap, the concurrent MG configuration information is used to provide the terminal with the concurrent MG used to perform the MN side measurement and/or the secondary node SN side measurement;

Step 301, sending concurrent MG configuration information to the terminal.

Specifically, concurrent MG (coexisting measurement gap) can be understood as multiple measurement gaps that can coexist at the same time. Different from the prior art, in the concurrent MG mechanism, the network side can simultaneously configure per-UE concurrent MG and per-FR1 concurrent MG and per-FR2 concurrent MG, and the number is not limited, and multiple concurrent MGs of different types can be configured at the same time.

The embodiment of the present disclosure supports configuring multiple concurrent MGs for the terminal at the same time in a dual connection scenario, and the MN can determine the concurrent MGs configured for the terminal (including the time domain location where the concurrent MGs appear, etc.), and send the concurrent MG configuration information including the concurrent MGs For the terminal to select the corresponding concurrent MG when the terminal performs MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

After receiving the concurrent MG configuration information, the terminal can determine which measurements on the MN side and/or which measurements on the SN side are applicable to each concurrent MG contained therein, for example, according to the concurrent MG configuration information received from which network node To determine which network node the concurrent MG applies to, it can also be determined according to other indication information. Further, the terminal may also determine at least one of the measurement object identifier, measurement frequency point and measurement pilot type of the MN side and/or SN side applicable to the concurrent MG. Therefore, according to the determined measurements applicable to each concurrent MG, the terminal can select the corresponding concurrent MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

In the measurement gap configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the MN can determine the concurrent MG configured for the terminal, and send the concurrent MG configuration information to the terminal, so that the terminal can select the corresponding concurrent MG when performing MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement. The MG is not limited by the type and quantity of the MG, thereby improving the flexibility of configuring the MG in the network and reducing the measurement period of the terminal.

In this case, the MN can be responsible for configuring the terminal to perform all measurements (including MN-side measurement and SN-side measurement. It can be understood that if the network node on a certain side does not configure the terminal for measurement, all measurements include only another All types of concurrent MGs used by the network node on the side of the terminal); the MN can also only be responsible for configuring all types of concurrent MGs used by the terminal to perform measurements on the MN side, and the SN is responsible for configuring the types of concurrent MGs used by the terminal to perform measurements on the SN side All types of concurrent MG.

In the case where the MN and the SN respectively determine some types of concurrent MGs, the MN can be responsible for configuring the first type of concurrent MG (such as per-UE and per-FR1) used by the terminal to perform all measurements, and the SN is responsible for configuring the terminal to perform Concurrent MG of the second type (i.e. other than the first type, such as per-FR2) used for all measurements.

Wherein, the MN can send the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and all measurements; the MN can also only send the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and the measurements on the MN side, and the SN sends the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and the measurements on the SN side.

The instruction information sent by the MN can be included in the concurrent MG configuration information and sent to the terminal, or it can be sent to the terminal in other ways, for example, it can be included in other information other than the concurrent MG configuration information and sent to the terminal separately. The specific implementation method can be determined by The MN is determined according to needs, and there is no limitation here.

Optionally, the content indicated in the instruction information includes any one or a combination of the following:

The measurement object identification applicable to concurrent MG;

Step 401, sending concurrent MG configuration information to the terminal.

Specifically, concurrent MG (coexisting measurement gap) can be understood as multiple measurement gaps that can coexist at the same time. Different from the prior art, in the concurrent MG mechanism, the network side can simultaneously configure per-UE concurrent MG and per-FR1 concurrent MG and per-FR2 concurrent MG, and the number is not limited, and multiple concurrent MGs of different types can be configured at the same time.

The embodiment of the present disclosure supports configuring multiple concurrent MGs for the terminal at the same time in a dual connection scenario, and the SN can determine the concurrent MGs configured for the terminal (including the time domain location where the concurrent MGs appear, etc.), and send the concurrent MG configuration information including the concurrent MGs For the terminal to select the corresponding concurrent MG when the terminal performs MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

After receiving the concurrent MG configuration information, the terminal can determine which measurements on the MN side and/or which measurements on the SN side are applicable to each concurrent MG contained therein, for example, according to the concurrent MG configuration information received from which network node To determine which network node the concurrent MG applies to, it can also be determined according to other indication information. Further, the terminal may also determine at least one of the measurement object identifier, measurement frequency point and measurement pilot type of the MN side and/or SN side applicable to the concurrent MG. Therefore, according to the determined measurements applicable to each concurrent MG, the terminal can select the corresponding concurrent MG when performing MN-side measurement and/or SN-side measurement.

In the measurement gap configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the SN can determine the concurrent MG configured for the terminal, and send the concurrent MG configuration information to the terminal, so that the terminal can select the corresponding concurrent MG when performing MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement. The MG is not limited by the type and quantity of the MG, thereby improving the flexibility of configuring the MG in the network and reducing the measurement period of the terminal.

Optionally, determine concurrent MG configuration information, including:

Determine the third concurrent MG configuration information, where the third concurrent MG configuration information is used to provide the terminal with the per-FR2 concurrent MG used to perform MN side measurement and/or SN side measurement.

Specifically, the network side decides to configure the concurrent MG for the terminal, and there may be multiple implementations.

For example, in the case that the MN can determine all types of concurrent MGs, that is, per-UE concurrent MGs, per-FR1 concurrent MGs and per-FR2 concurrent MGs can all be configured by the MN. In this case, the MN can be responsible for configuring the terminal to perform all measurements (including MN-side measurement and SN-side measurement. It can be understood that if the network node on a certain side does not configure the terminal for measurement, all measurements include only another All types of concurrent MGs used by the network node on the terminal side for the measurement configured by the terminal; the MN can also only be responsible for configuring all types of concurrent MGs used by the terminal to perform measurements on the MN side, and the SN is responsible for configuring the terminals used to perform measurements on the SN side All types of concurrent MG.

After the MN and /SN determine the concurrent MG configuration information, they can send the concurrent MG configuration information to the terminal. The sending method can be sent by the decision node, or a certain network node (such as MN or SN) can be responsible for sending all the concurrent MG configuration information. MG.

Optionally, before determining the concurrent MG configuration information, the method further includes:

The second auxiliary information sent by the MN is received, and the second auxiliary information is used to assist the SN in determining concurrent MG configuration information.

Specifically, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, before the SN determines the concurrent MG configuration information, the MN may send the second auxiliary information to the SN to assist the SN in determining the concurrent MG configuration information.

Optionally, the second auxiliary information may include one or more of the following:

Measurement frequency point information on the MN side;

The measurement object identification on the MN side;

Measurement pilot type information on the MN side;

The maximum number of concurrent MGs that can be configured by the terminal.

After receiving the above-mentioned second auxiliary information sent by the MN, the SN can determine the MN-side measurement configuration configured by the MN for the terminal (including measurement frequency points, measurement object identifiers, measurement pilot types, etc.), so that the SN can Determine the concurrent MG that is applicable to the measurement on the MN side.

In addition, the MN can also carry the maximum number of concurrent MGs that can be configured by the terminal in the second auxiliary information, so that the SN can ensure that the configured concurrent MGs are configured when configuring concurrent MGs for the terminal according to the maximum number of concurrent MGs that can be configured by the terminal. The number does not exceed the terminal capacity.

Optionally, the method also includes:

Send indication information to the terminal, where the indication information is used to indicate the applicable relationship between each concurrent MG provided in the concurrent MG configuration information and the MN side measurement and/or the SN side measurement.

Among them, the SN can send the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and all measurements; the SN can also only send the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and the SN side measurement, and the MN sends the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and the MN side measurement.

The instruction information sent by the SN can be included in the concurrent MG configuration information and sent to the terminal, or it can be sent to the terminal in other ways, for example, it can be included in other information other than the concurrent MG configuration information and sent to the terminal separately. The specific implementation method can be determined by The SN is determined as required, and is not limited here.

After receiving the first indication, the SN may, according to the correspondence between the measurement object identifier on the SN side and the measurement frequency point (or measurement pilot type) relationship, determine the measurement object identifiers on the SN side applicable to each concurrent MG included in the concurrent MG configuration information, and the SN sends the determined measurement object identifiers on the SN side applicable to the concurrent MGs to the terminal as indication information, and the MN only sends The terminal sends the applicable relationship between each concurrent MG and the measurement on the MN side.

For example, in the case where the MN cannot obtain the corresponding relationship between the measurement object identifier on the SN side and the measurement frequency point, the MN can determine the concurrent MG corresponding to the measurement on the MN side and/or the SN side, and then use the SN side measurement frequency point applicable to each concurrent MG And/or the measurement pilot type is indicated to the SN, and the SN further determines the measurement object identifier applicable to each concurrent MG on the SN side according to the indication, and sends the measurement object identifier applicable to each concurrent MG to the terminal.

The method for configuring the above-mentioned measurement gap will be illustrated below through specific embodiments.

Embodiment 1: In the NR-DC scenario, the MN determines all concurrent MGs and notifies the UE through signaling.

In the NR-DC scenario, the MN determines all types of concurrent MGs configured for the UE (including per-UE MG pattern, per-FR1 MG pattern and per-FR2 MG pattern).

In this embodiment, the MN determines the concurrent MG that needs to be configured for the UE according to the measurement object configuration on the MN side and the measurement object configuration on the SN side, and the applicable measurement object (including applicable to the MN side or the SN side) and/or measurement guide frequency type, and send the concurrent MG together with the scope of application to the UE.

1. Preparation stage

SN provides auxiliary information to MN, and assists MN to configure concurrent MG for UE. The auxiliary information includes:

a. Frequency point information: MN can judge whether to configure MG and what kind of concurrent MG to configure based on this information.

b. Optionally, the measurement object identifier: the MN can know the mapping relationship between the frequency point information configured on the SN side and the measurement object identifier based on this information, so that it can directly use the SN side when notifying the UE of the scope of application of the concurrent MG. The configured measurement object identifier does not need to send the displayed frequency point information.

c. Optionally, the measurement pilot type may also be included.

For example, the SN configures four MOs (measurement objects) for the UE: the measurement object whose identifier is 1 (denoted as MO 1) is configured for the SSB on the NR frequency point f1; the identifier of the measurement object is 2 ( The measurement object marked as MO 2) is the measurement object configuration for the SSB on the NR frequency f2; the measurement object identified as 3 (denoted as MO 3) is the measurement for the CSI-RS on the NR frequency point f3 Object configuration; the measurement object identified as 4 (denoted as MO 4) is the measurement object configuration for SSB and CSI-RS on NR frequency point f4. Then the SN provides the MN with a list of auxiliary information, including the following information:

{NR f1,MO 1,SSB};

{NR f2, MO 2, SSB};

{NR f3, MO 3, CSI-RS};

{NR f4, MO 4, SSB, CSI-RS}.

2. Configuration stage

2.1 The MN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE.

a. The MN determines the RRM measurement configuration on the MN side configured for the UE.

b. The MN determines the RRM measurement configuration on the SN side configured by the SN for the UE in combination with the auxiliary information provided by the SN.

c. The MN determines the concurrent MG to be configured for the UE according to its own algorithm, as well as the applicable measurement object (including applicable to the MN side or the SN side) and/or the measurement pilot type.

2.2 The MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE. In the concurrent MG configuration, in addition to including the time domain position where the MG appears, the list of measurement objects applicable to the MG, and the type of measurement pilot, it will further: 1) indicate whether each measurement object identifier is a measurement object identifier on the SN side (or Indicate whether each measurement object identifier is on the MN side or the SN side); or, 2) carry an indication of whether it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or, 3) display and carry the SN side frequency point information applicable to the concurrent MG and/or Or the measurement pilot type (for the case where the MN cannot obtain the corresponding relationship between the measurement object identifier and the measurement frequency point at the SN side).

For example, the MN decides to configure two per-FR1 concurrent MGs for the UE, one of which is per-FR1 MG (denoted as concurrent MG1) is applicable to MO2/MO5 on the MN side, and also applicable to MO1/MO2 on the SN side; the other per-FR1 MG (Denoted as concurrent MG2) is applicable to MO6/MO7 on the MN side, and is also applicable to MO3 on the SN side; when the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG1 are: MO2 on the MN side, MO5 on the MN side, MO1 on the SN side, and MO2 on the SN side;

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG2 are: MO6 on the MN side, MO7 on the MN side, and MO3 on the SN side.

For example, the MN determines to configure two per-UE concurrent MGs for the UE, and one of the per-UE MGs (denoted as concurrent MG3) can be applied to all measurements that need to measure the gap on the SN side. When the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instruct:

Concurrent MG3 is applicable to SN side measurement (that is, it only indicates that it is suitable for SN side measurement. After UE side receives the instruction, if it needs to measure the gap when performing the measurement configured on SN side, then use this MG).

For example, the MN determines that the UE is configured with two per-FR1 concurrent MGs, one of which is per-FR1 MG (denoted as concurrent MG1) is applicable to MO2/MO5 on the MN side, and also applicable to SSB measurement on NR f1 on the SN side and NR on the SN side SSB measurement on f2; another per-FR1 MG (denoted as concurrent MG2) is suitable for MO6/MO7 on the MN side, and when the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE (corresponding to the scenario where the MO identity on the SN side is not known), including Instruct as follows:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG1 are: MO2 on the MN side, MO5 on the MN side, SSB measurement on NR f1 on the SN side, and SSB measurement on NR f2 on the SN side;

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG2 are: MO6 on the MN side, MO7 on the MN side;

Or include instructions like:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG1 are: MO2, corresponding to the MN side; MO5, corresponding to the MN side; SSB measurement on NR f1; SSB measurement on NR f2 (Note: here the MN side does not know the MO identity of the SN side, and It is to display the frequency point and/or pilot type corresponding to the indication; UE receives the displayed frequency point and/or pilot type, determines the frequency point and/or pilot type applicable to the concurrent MG, and UE performs SN side measurement , if the corresponding frequency point and/or pilot type is consistent with the frequency point and/or pilot type applicable to the above-mentioned concurrent MG, the above-mentioned concurrent MG is used to perform the corresponding measurement).

2.3 Based on the concurrent MG configuration received from the MN side, the UE determines which concurrent MGs are applicable to the measurement configuration configured on the MN side (further, it can determine which measurement object identifiers on the MN side are applicable), and which concurrent MGs are applicable to the measurement configuration configured on the SN side Measurement configuration (further, it can be determined which measurement object identifiers on the SN side are applicable). Example corresponding to the above:

For example, based on the received concurrent MG1 and concurrent MG2 configurations, UE uses concurrent MG1 when measuring MO2 on the SN side, uses concurrent MG2 when measuring MO3 on the SN side, and uses concurrent MG1 when measuring MO2 on the MN side.

For example, based on the received concurrent MG3 configuration, when the UE measures MO2 on the SN side, if it needs to measure the gap, the UE uses concurrent MG3;

For example, based on the received concurrent MG1 configuration, the UE uses concurrent MG1 when measuring the SSB measurement on NR f1 or the SSB measurement on NR f2 on the SN side.

2.4 The MN sends the concurrent MG configuration assigned to the UE to the SN, and the SN side temporarily interrupts the interaction with the UE at the location where the concurrent MG appears based on the received concurrent MG configuration.

The foregoing embodiments are also applicable to the NE-DC scenario.

Embodiment 2: In the NE-DC scenario, the MN determines all concurrent MGs, but the MN and the SN notify the UE of applicable measurement objects respectively.

In the NE-DC scenario, the MN determines all concurrent MGs configured for the UE (including per-UE MG pattern, per-FR1 MG pattern and per-FR2 MG pattern).

The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the MN does not know the correspondence between the measurement configurations on the SN side (that is, it does not know the configured frequency point information and/or the measurement pilot type and the measurement object identifier. corresponding relationship). Therefore, after the MN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE, the scope of application of each concurrent MG (such as which measurement object identifiers are associated with the MN side and which measurement object identifiers are associated with the SN side) is notified by the MN and the SN respectively through signaling to UE.

1. Preparation stage

SN provides auxiliary information to MN, and assists MN to configure concurrent MG for UE. The auxiliary information includes:

a. Frequency point information.

b. Measurement pilot type.

For example, the SN configures three MOs for the UE: the measurement object whose identifier is 1 (denoted as MO 1) is configured for the measurement object on LTE frequency point f1; the measurement object whose identifier is 2 (denoted as MO 2) The object is configured for the measurement object on the LTE frequency point f2; the measurement object identified as 3 (denoted as MO 3) is the measurement object configuration for the SSB on the NR frequency point f3. Then the SN provides the MN with a list of auxiliary information, including the following information:

{LTE f1};

{LTE f2};

{NR f3,SSB}.

2. Configuration stage

2.1 The MN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE.

a. The MN determines the RRM measurement configuration on the MN side configured for the UE.

b. The MN determines the RRM measurement configuration on the SN side configured by the SN for the UE in combination with the auxiliary information provided by the SN.

c. The MN determines the concurrent MG to be configured for the UE according to its own algorithm, as well as the applicable measurement object identifier (including applicable to the MN side or the SN side) and/or measurement pilot type.

For example, the MN determines to configure two per-UE concurrent MGs for the UE, and one of the per-UE MGs (denoted as concurrent MG4) is applicable to the MO2/MO5 on the MN side, and is also applicable to the measurement on the LTE f2 on the SN side; the other per-UE MG - UE MG (denoted as concurrent MG5) is applicable to MO6/MO7 on the MN side, and also applicable to SSB measurement on NR f3 on the SN side.

2.2 The MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE. In the concurrent MG configuration, in addition to including the MG time-domain related configuration, it further indicates which measurement objects on the MN side are applicable.

For example, when the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG4 are: MO2, MO5; one possible way is that the index number corresponding to concurrent MG4 is 2, and the MN sends the concurrent MG index number 2 to the UE, and the applicable measurement objects are MO2 and MO5.

The applicable measurement objects of concurrent MG5 are: MO6, MO7.

2.3 The MN configures the concurrent MG to send to the SN, which further indicates the measurement frequency points on the SN side that the concurrent MG applies to, and optionally, further includes the measurement pilot type.

For example, the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the SN, further including the following instructions:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG4 are: LTE f2;

The applicable measurement objects of concurrent MG5 are: NR f3, SSB measurement.

2.4 Based on the concurrent MG configuration information received from the MN, the SN sends the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and the measurement object on the SN side to the UE.

For example, the SN side configures the measurement object identifier on LTE f2 for the UE as 3 (denoted as MO3), and the configured measurement object identifier corresponding to the SSB measurement on NR f3 is 5 (denoted as MO5), then the SN sends the UE the following Configuration:

The applicable measurement object of the concurrent MG4 is: MO3; one possible way is that the index number corresponding to the concurrent MG4 is 2, and the applicable measurement object of the concurrent MG index number 2 sent by the SN to the UE is MO3.

The applicable measuring object of concurrent MG5 is: MO5.

At the same time, based on the received concurrent MG configuration, the SN side temporarily interrupts the interaction with the UE at the location where the concurrent MG appears.

2.5 The UE determines the measurement object identity applicable to the concurrent MG based on the concurrent MG configuration received from the MN and/or SN side.

For example, the UE receives the concurrent MG configuration from the MN side, and the instructions in it, and determines that the concurrent MG4 is applicable to MO2 and MO5 on the MN side; the configuration received from the SN (the measurement object identifier applicable to the concurrent MG4 is: MO3, optional, According to the index number 2 corresponding to the concurrent MG, which is associated with the concurrent MG4 whose concurrent MG index number is 2 on the MN side), it can be determined that the concurrent MG4 is also applicable to the MO3 on the SN side. UE uses concurrent MG4 when measuring MO2 on the MN side, MO5 on the MN side, and MO3 on the SN side.

The foregoing embodiments are also applicable to NR-DC scenarios.

Embodiment 3: In the (NG)EN-DC scenario, the MN decides the concurrent MG configuration of per-UE/per-FR1, the SN decides the concurrent MG of per-FR2, and the decision node notifies the UE through signaling.

The difference from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 is that in this embodiment, the decision right of the concurrent MG is not completely determined by the MN. In the (NG)EN-DC scenario, when configuring the concurrent MG per-UE/per-FR1, the MN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE, and notifies the UE (carrying the applicable MN side and/or SN side measurement ); when configuring the concurrent MG of per-FR2, the SN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE, and notifies the UE (carrying applicable MN side and/or SN side measurements at the same time).

1. Preparation stage

1.1 The SN provides auxiliary information to the MN, and assists the MN to configure a per-UE/per-FR1 concurrent MG for the UE. The auxiliary information includes:

a. Frequency point information.

b. Optionally, the measurement object identifier.

c. Optionally, measurement pilot type.

For example, the SN configures 4 MOs for the UE: the measurement object identified by the measurement object is 1 (denoted as MO 1), which is configured for the measurement object of SSB on the NR frequency point f1; the measurement object is identified as 2 (denoted as MO 2) The measurement object is the measurement object configuration for the SSB on the NR frequency f2; the measurement object identified as 3 (denoted as MO 3) is the measurement object configuration for the CSI-RS on the NR frequency f3; the measurement object The measurement object marked as 4 (denoted as MO 4) is the measurement object configuration for the CSI-RS on the NR frequency point f4; where MO1/MO4 is the frequency point belonging to FR2, and MO1 is the measurement corresponding to the service frequency point. Then the SN provides the auxiliary information list to the MN, and assists the MN to configure per-FR1 concurrent MG, including the following information:

{NR f2, MO 2, SSB};

{NR f3, MO 3, CSI-RS}.

Another possible implementation manner is that the SN provides an auxiliary information list to the MN, and assists the MN in configuring a per-UE concurrent MG, including the following information:

{NR f2, MO 2, SSB};

{NR f3, MO 3, CSI-RS};

{NR f4, MO 4, CSI-RS}.

1.2 The MN provides auxiliary information to the SN, and assists the SN to configure a per-FR2 concurrent MG for the UE. The auxiliary information includes:

a. Frequency point information.

b. Optionally, the measurement object identifier.

c. Optionally, measurement pilot type.

For example, the MN configures 7 MOs for the UE, in which the measurement object with the measurement object identifier of 4 is the measurement object for SSB on the NR frequency point f4 (belonging to FR2); the measurement object with the measurement object identifier of 8 is the measurement object for the NR frequency The measurement object of the CSI-RS on point f5 (belonging to FR2), the MN provides the auxiliary information list to the SN, including the following information:

{NR f4, MO 4, SSB};

{NR f5, MO 8, CSI-RS}.

2. Configuration stage

2.1 The MN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE, and determines the applicable node; the SN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE, and determines the applicable node.

For example, the MN determines to configure two per-FR1 concurrent MGs according to its own algorithm. The concurrent MG6 is applicable to the SSB measurement on the MN’s measurement object identifier MO1, the MN’s measurement object identifier MO3, and the measurement object identifier MO2 on the SN side; the concurrent MG7 is applicable to the MN’s measurement object identifier MO5 and the SN side’s measurement object identifier MO3. CSI-RS measurements.

For example, the SN determines to configure two per-FR2 concurrent MGs according to its own algorithm. The concurrent MG8 is applicable to the measurement object of the MN side (including the SSB measurement of MO4 and the CSI-RS measurement of MO8); the concurrent MG9 is applicable to the measurement object MO4 of the SN side.

2.2 The MN sends the determined concurrent MG to the UE. In the concurrent MG configuration, in addition to including the time domain position where the MG appears, the measurement object list applicable to the MG, and the measurement pilot type, it will further indicate: 1) indicating whether each measurement object identifier is a measurement object identifier on the SN side ( Or indicate whether each measurement object identifier is on the MN side or the SN side); or, 2) carry an indication of whether it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or, 3) display and carry the SN side frequency point information applicable to the concurrent MG and /or measurement pilot type (for the case where the MN cannot obtain the corresponding relationship between the measurement object identifier and the measurement frequency point at the SN side).

Corresponding to 1), for example, when the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

Concurrent MG6 is applicable to measurement objects: MO1, corresponding to MN side measurement (that is, the applicable object is MO1 on the MN side); MO3, corresponding to MN side measurement, and the pilot frequency is SSB (that is, the applicable object is SSB measurement on the MN measurement object MO3 ); MO2, corresponding to the measurement on the SN side (that is, the applicable object is the measurement object MO2 on the SN side);

The measurement objects applicable to the concurrent MG7 are: the measurement object MO5 of the MN, and the CSI-RS measurement of the measurement object MO3 of the SN side.

Corresponding to 2), for example, when the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG6 are: MO1, which corresponds to the measurement on the MN side; MO3, which corresponds to the measurement on the MN side, and the pilot frequency is SSB; compared with the measurement on the SN side (this method is compared with 1), it needs to be further judged by the UE side which ones are applicable. measurement object on the SN side).

Corresponding to 3), for example, when the MN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG6 are: MO1, which corresponds to the measurement on the MN side; MO3, which corresponds to the measurement on the MN side, and the pilot frequency is SSB; Display the applicable frequency points of the configuration).

2.3 The SN sends the determined concurrent MG to the UE. In the concurrent MG configuration, in addition to including the time domain position where the MG appears, the measurement object list applicable to the MG, and the measurement pilot type, it will further indicate: 1) indicating whether each measurement object identifier is a measurement object identifier on the SN side ( Or indicate whether each measurement object identifier is on the MN side or the SN side); or, 2) carry an indication of whether it is applicable to the SN side (or MN side); or, 3) display and carry the MN side frequency point information that the concurrent MG is applicable to and /or measurement pilot type (for the case where the SN cannot obtain the corresponding relationship between the measurement object identifier and the measurement frequency point on the MN side).

For example, corresponding to 1), when the SN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG8 are: SSB measurement of MO4 on the MN side, CSI-RS measurement of MO8 on the MN side;

The measurement object applicable to concurrent MG9 is: the measurement object MO4 on the SN side.

For example, corresponding to 2), when the SN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

The measurement applicable to concurrent MG8 is: the measurement on the MN side. Compared with 1), this method needs to be further judged by the UE side which measurement objects on the MN side are applicable. For example, when the UE side is measuring the FR2 frequency point and needs to measure the gap, Then use concurrent MG8, which can further save bit overhead;

The measurement object applicable to concurrent MG9 is: the measurement object MO4 on the SN side.

For example, corresponding to 3), when the SN sends the concurrent MG configuration to the UE, it includes the following instructions:

The measurement objects applicable to concurrent MG8 are: NR f4, SSB measurement (because the SN cannot obtain the corresponding relationship between the measurement object identifier on the MN side and the measurement frequency point, the SN displays the frequency points and/or corresponding pilots that are applicable to the configuration, and the UE receives the configuration Finally, based on the displayed configuration, it can be determined that the concurrent MG8 is suitable for measuring the SSB measurement on the NR f4 frequency point. Correspondingly, the UE measures the SSB measurement on the NR f4 frequency point on the SN side, using concurrent MG8).

2.4 The UE determines the applicable measurement range of the concurrent MG based on the concurrent MG configuration received from the MN and/or SN side.

For example, based on the concurrent MG6 configuration received from the MN side, it is determined that the measurement objects applicable to the concurrent MG6 are: MO1 on the MN side, SSB measurement on the MN measurement object MO3, and measurement object MO2 on the SN side; UE is measuring MO1 on the MN side When using concurrent MG6, UE uses concurrent MG6 when measuring the measurement object MO2 on the SN side.

For example, based on the concurrent MG8 configuration received from the SN side, it is determined that the concurrent MG8 is only applicable to the measurement on the FR2 configured on the MN side. When measuring the measurement on FR2 configured on the MN side, if the UE needs to measure the gap, concurrent MG8 is used.

2.5 The MN sends the concurrent MG configuration assigned to the UE to the SN, and the SN side temporarily interrupts the interaction with the UE at the location where the concurrent MG appears based on the received concurrent MG configuration.

Optionally, the MN sends the maximum number of concurrent MGs that the UE can configure to the SN to assist the SN in configuring concurrent MGs that do not exceed the capabilities of the UE.

Embodiment 4: In the (NG)EN-DC scenario, the MN decides the concurrent MG configuration applicable to the MN side measurement, the SN decides the concurrent MG configuration applicable to the SN side measurement, and the decision node notifies the concurrent MG configuration through signaling respectively to UE.

In this embodiment, after the MN and SN determine the concurrent MG configured for the UE, they only send the concurrent MG to the UE, and do not send the applicable relationship between the concurrent MG and the measurement on the MN side and/or the measurement on the SN side. Which network node the concurrent MG is received from determines the scope of application of the concurrent MG.

1. Configuration stage

The MN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE, and determines the applicable node; the SN determines the concurrent MG configured for the UE, and determines the applicable node.

For example, the MN determines to configure a per-UE concurrent MG6 according to its own algorithm, and the concurrent MG6 is applicable to all measurements on the MN side.

For example, the SN determines to configure a per-FR2 concurrent MG8 according to its own algorithm, and the concurrent MG8 is applicable to all measurements on the SN side.

2. The MN sends the determined concurrent MG to the UE.

3. The SN sends the determined concurrent MG to the UE.

4. The UE determines the applicable measurement range of the concurrent MG based on the concurrent MG configuration received from the MN and/or SN side.

For example, based on the concurrent MG6 configuration received from the MN side, it is determined that the concurrent MG6 is applicable to all measurements on the MN side, and the UE uses the concurrent MG6 when performing measurements on the MN side.

For example, based on the concurrent MG8 configuration received from the SN side, it is determined that the concurrent MG8 is applicable to all measurements on the SN side, and the UE uses the concurrent MG8 when performing measurements on the SN side.

5. The MN sends the concurrent MG configuration assigned to the UE to the SN, and the SN side temporarily interrupts the interaction with the UE at the location where the concurrent MG appears based on the received concurrent MG configuration.

Optionally, the MN sends the maximum number of concurrent MGs that the UE can configure to the SN to assist the SN in configuring concurrent MGs that do not exceed the capabilities of the UE.
