In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific examples. The following related technologies may be optionally combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiment of the present application includes at least part of the following contents.

In order to better understand the embodiment of the present application, the SMTC and its configuration related to the present application are described.

SMTC field description: SSB period/offset/duration configuration of redirected Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) frequency. The SMTC is based on the timing of the Primary Cell (PCell). If there is no SMTC field, the terminal device uses the SMTC configured in the NR measurement object (measObjectNR) field with the same SSB frequency and subcarrier spacing.

SMTC configuration can support {5,10,20,40,80,160} millisecond (ms) period and {1,2,3,4,5}ms window length, corresponding offset (offset) and period of each SMTC The strong correlation takes the value {0,...,period-1,}. Since the measurement object (Measurement Object, MO) no longer includes the carrier frequency, the SMTC can be configured independently for each MO instead of each frequency point.

The first subframe (Subframe) in each system frame number (System Frame Number, SFN) of the corresponding NR special cell (Special Cell, SpCell) of each SMTC entity is also defined by the period and offset (periodicityAndOffset) fields of the SMTC To obtain, the following grammatical elements must be satisfied:

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).

For the intra-frequency measurement in the connected state, one intra-frequency layer can be configured with two SMTCs (SMTC1 and SMTC2), and these two SMTCs have the same offset (offset) but different periods. For inter-frequency measurement, only SMTC1 is configured. The period of SMTC2 is shorter than that of SMTC1; the timing offset of SMTC2 follows that of SMTC1; currently, SMTC2 only supports configuration for co-frequency measurement.

For example, the syntax elements corresponding to SMTC1 (that is, SMTC) and SMTC2 may be as follows:

The configuration granularity of SMTC can be per MO (per MO), and one frequency point can have multiple MOs, which correspond to a cell list (celllist). Specific syntax elements can be as follows, for example:

In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the relevant measurement intervals and features of the present application will be described.

In order for the terminal device to better realize mobility handover, the network can configure the terminal device to measure the reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP) of the reference signal of the same frequency, different frequency or different network target neighboring cells in a specific time window, Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) or Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), the specific time window is the measurement interval (Measurement Gap).

The research of NR system mainly considers two frequency bands (Frequency range, FR), which are FR1 and FR2 respectively. Among them, the frequency ranges corresponding to FR1 and FR2 are shown in Table 1 below. FR1 is also called sub 6GHz frequency band, and FR2 is also called mm wave band. It should be noted that the frequency ranges corresponding to FR1 and FR2 are not limited to the frequency ranges shown in Table 1, and can also be adjusted.

Table 1

frequency band Frequency Range FR1 450MHz–6GHz FR2 24.25GHz–52.6GHz

According to whether the terminal device supports the ability of FR1 and FR2 to work independently, there are two types of gaps in the measurement interval, one is the user equipment granularity measurement interval (per UE gap), and the other is the frequency band granularity measurement interval (per FR gap). Further, per FR gap is divided into per FR1 gap and per FR2 gap. Among them, per UE gap is also called gapUE, per FR1 gap is also called gapFR1, and per FR2 gap is also called gapFR2. At the same time, the terminal device introduces a capability indication of whether to support FR1 and FR2 to work independently. This capability indication is called independentGapConfig. This capability indication is used by the network device to determine whether the measurement interval of the per FR type can be configured for the terminal device, such as per FR1 gap, per FR2 gap. Specifically, if the capability indication is used to indicate that the terminal device supports FR1 and FR2 to work independently, the network device can configure a per FR measurement interval; if the capability indication is used to indicate that the terminal device does not support FR1 and FR2 to work independently, the network device does not The measurement interval of per FR type can be configured, and only the measurement interval of per UE type (that is, per UE gap) can be configured for terminal devices.

The per FR1 gap, per FR2 gap, and per UE gap are described below.

per FR1 gap (that is, gapFR1): The measurement interval belonging to the per FR1 gap type is only applicable to the measurement of FR1. The per FR1 gap and per UE gap do not support simultaneous configuration. The configuration rule of the MG is related to the frequency point of the serving cell and the frequency point of the target cell.

In the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and NR Dual Connectivity (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, EN-DC) mode, the master node (Master Node, MN) is the long-term evolution ( Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard, the secondary node (Secondary Node, SN) is NR standard, only the MN can configure per FR1 gap.

per FR2 gap (that is, gapFR2): The measurement interval belonging to the per FR2 gap type is only applicable to the measurement of FR2. The per FR2 gap and per UE gap do not support simultaneous configuration. The per FR2 gap and per FR1 gap support simultaneous configuration.

If the terminal device supports the ability of FR1 and FR2 to work independently (that is, the independent gap capability), the terminal device can perform independent measurements on FR1 and FR2, and the terminal device can be configured with a measurement interval of per FR gap type, such as per FR1 gap type Measurement interval, measurement interval of per FR2 gap type.

per UE gap (gapUE): The measurement interval belonging to the per UE gap type applies to measurements in all frequency bands (including FR1 and FR2).

Exemplarily, the syntax elements of the parameter configuration of the measurement interval may be as follows:

In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the problems solved in the present application are described.

For the intra-frequency measurement in the connected state, 2 SMTCs can be configured in 1 intra-frequency layer. These two SMTCs have the same offset but different periods. If terminal devices are configured at the same time, only one of the periods will be selected. The larger one is measured, as shown in Figure 2.

Since the current network can only configure a single gap pattern (single gap pattern) within the unit measurement time, it is likely that the SMTC configuration of the inter-frequency MO cannot be covered by the gap (gap cover).

For the network, this will limit the flexibility of network configuration MO, requiring the network to either align SSBs on the network side to ensure that a single interval pattern can cover SMTCs of different frequency SSBs; or configure MOs in a certain order, which in turn will cause some delays Measurement and reporting of candidate neighboring cells.

For different SMTCs on different MOs of traditional NR terminals (same offset but different period), for different SMTCs on the same MO of NTN terminals (offset and period can be different), they cannot be covered by a single gap pattern (single gap pattern) However, this will restrict the terminal equipment to perform measurements of the corresponding MO in sequence.

In particular, due to the large propagation delay of the NTN network, the actual time for the terminal to receive the measurement reference signal of each serving cell and neighboring cell will vary with different propagation delays. Therefore, when SMTC is configured for each satellite (or base station) in the NTN network, the offset offset of the measurement window needs auxiliary information reference to help whether the time deviation caused by the large path transmission delay is possible, so that the SMTC of multiple cells can be aligned as much as possible , to ensure that the UE granularity (per UE) or frequency band granularity (per FR) measurement interval configured by the serving cell can cover as many measurement windows as possible.

Based on the above problems, the present application proposes an SMTC measurement scheme, which satisfies the measurement when multiple different SMTCs are configured for different frequency points, MOs, cells or SSBs. Specifically, you can measure the same MO and SSB or different cells with different SMTCs on the same frequency, you can also measure different MOs on the same frequency (SMTC may have the same), and you can also measure SSBs on different frequencies. Different MOs.

The technical scheme of the present application is described in detail below through specific examples.
