However, these technologies can also be applied to applications other than the NR system application, such as a 6th generation (6G) communication system.
A Gap conflict processing method according to an embodiment of this application is described below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
Step 201, a terminal determines a first Gap according to priorities or sharing factors of at least two Gaps which conflict with each other. The first Gap is any one of the following: a Gap, having the highest priority, of the two Gaps which conflict with each other; and a Gap, having the lowest sharing factor, of the two Gaps which conflict with each other.
Step 202, the terminal uses the first Gap.
The terminal uses the first Gap, which may be understood as: The terminal performs an operation or a task corresponding to the first Gap within the first Gap. Or, the terminal performs measurement of a measurement object associated with the first Gap within the first Gap.
Step 203, the terminal ignores a first time period, which conflicts with the first Gap, in a second Gap. The second Gap is a Gap which conflicts with the first Gap.
The terminal ignores a first time period of a second Gap, which may be understood as: The terminal stops performing the corresponding operation or task in the first time period of the second Gap, or the terminal stops performing measurement of a measurement object associated with the second Gap in the first time period of the second Gap.
In a case that at least two Gaps partially overlap, or at least two Gaps fully overlap, or a time distance between at least two Gaps is less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the at least two Gaps conflict with each other.
The Gap referred to in the embodiments of this application may also be referred to as a Gap occasion. The network configures a Gap Pattern (Gap pattern or Gap template) or a Gap Configuration. One Gap Pattern or Gap Configuration includes at least one Gap occasion. For example, a periodic Gap may have Gap occasions that occur periodically, and an aperiodic Gap may have only one Gap occasion.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The terminal uses a second time period of the second Gap, which may be understood as: The terminal performs an operation or a task corresponding to the second Gap in the second time period of the second Gap. Or, the terminal performs measurement of a measurement object associated with the second Gap in the second time period of the second Gap.
The terminal ignores the second time period of the second Gap, which may be understood as: The terminal stops performing the corresponding operation or task in the second time period of the second Gap, or the terminal stops performing measurement of the measurement object associated with the second Gap in the second time period of the second Gap.
As an optional embodiment, in a case that the terminal ignores the second time period, which does not conflict with the first Gap, in the second Gap, the method further includes the following step:
The terminal performs data transmission in the second time period.
It should be noted, the terminal and a network side device should reach an agreement on the processing of the first Gap and the second Gap, that is, the terminal and the network side device process the first Gap in the same way and also process the first time period and the second time period of the second Gap in the same way, thereby avoiding data loss. Furthermore, since the terminal and the network side device can perform the data transmission in the second time period, which does not conflict with the first Gap, in the second Gap, the data transmission efficiency can be improved, and the Gap use efficiency can be further improved.
In at least one embodiment of this application, priorities of the at least two Gaps which conflict with each other may be determined by means of an implicit indication or may be determined by means of an explicit indication.
In the implicit indication method for the priorities, in at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The terminal determines a priority of the Gap according to related information of a Gap, wherein the related information of the Gap includes at least one of:
As an optional embodiment, the terminal determines a priority of the Gap according to a Gap purpose, which includes:
It should be noted, the MUSIM mentioned in the embodiments of this application may include: multi subscriber identity modules (Multi-SIM), or multi universal subscriber identity modules (Multi-USIM). For ease of explanation, it is hereinafter collectively referred to as MUSIM.
In implementation, a MUSIM Gap may be used for an SIM card task of a MUSIM terminal. The MUSIM terminal may contain a plurality of UEs. These UEs may be referred to as Multi-SIM UEs or Multi-USIM UEs. UE may be regarded as a subscriber. In practical applications, one terminal device may be configured with a plurality of subscribers, and the subscribers may be embodied by SIM cards or USIM cards. Generally, one SIM card corresponds to a subscriber of one network. The SIM card or USIM card saves an identifier of its corresponding subscriber, namely, the identifier of the UE, such as Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI), International Mobile Subscription Identity (IMSI), or the like. Correspondingly, when a plurality of SIM cards is plugged into one terminal or a plurality of pieces of electronic SIM card information are configured in one terminal, it can be considered that the terminal may constitute different UEs with different subscribers. In the embodiments of this application, if one UE in the MUSIM terminal can use a Gap to perform tasks of other UEs, it can be considered that the purpose of the Gap is a MUSIM purpose.
As another optional embodiment, the terminal determines a priority of the Gap according to a Gap purpose, which includes:
The terminal determines that the priority of the MUSIM Gap is higher than the priority of the Gap for another purpose. The MUSIM Gap includes at least one of:
In a case that the Gaps which conflict with each other include at least one MUSIM Gap, the priorities of the various Gaps meet at least one condition as follows:
Optionally, in a case that there are a plurality of MUSIM periodic Gaps, or a plurality of MUSIM Gaps with specific cycle lengths, or a plurality of dedicated MUSIM Gaps, the network may further configure at least one priority indication for the MUSIM Gap.
For example, in a case that the MUSIM Gaps partially overlap, the terminal does not ignore a non-overlapping time period, that is, the terminal continues to perform an associated operation in the non-overlapping time period. Or, the terminal ignores the non-overlapping time period, namely, the terminal stops performing the associated operation in the non-overlapping time period. Further, the terminal may perform data transmission in the non-overlapping time period.
As another optional embodiment, the terminal determines a priority of the Gap according to a Gap purpose, which includes:
The terminal determines that the priority of the Gap for positioning measurement is higher than the priority of the Gap for another purpose.
In a case that the Gaps which conflict with each other include at least one Gap for positioning measurement, the method further includes the following step:
The terminal determines that a first Gap pattern for positioning measurement has a high priority. For example, the first Gap pattern is: Gap pattern 24 #, and/or, Gap pattern 25 #.
For example, in a case of partial overlapping, the Gap for positioning measurement has a higher priority. That is, in a case that another Gap conflicts with the Gap for positioning measurement, the Gap for positioning measurement has a higher priority. That is, the Gap for positioning measurement is the first Gap mentioned above.
For another example, in a case that the Gaps for positioning measurement partially overlap, the terminal does not ignore a non-overlapping time period, that is, the terminal continues to perform an associated operation in the non-overlapping time period. Or, the terminal ignores the non-overlapping time period, namely, the terminal stops performing the associated operation in the non-overlapping time period. Further, the terminal may perform data transmission in the non-overlapping time period.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the terminal determines a priority of the Gap according to an association degree between a Gap and a measurement object or a radio access type, which includes:
The terminal determines that the priority of the Gap used only for a first measurement object or a first radio access type is higher than the priorities of other Gaps.
For example, in a case that a measurement Gap is used purely for specific measurement objects or specific radio access types (RATs), the Gap has a higher priority. Or, a Gap that is exclusively associated with only one measurement object has a higher priority. Or, a Gap that is exclusively associated with measured objects or RATs has a higher priority than a non-exclusively associated Gap. The non-exclusive association means that a measurement object associated by the Gap is associated to a plurality of Gaps.
Optionally, the association degree between a Gap and a measurement object or a radio access type may be indicated by a Gap-based configuration of the network.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the Gap parameter includes: at least one of a repetition cycle of the Gap, a Gap length, and Gap start time. The terminal determines a priority of the Gap according to a Gap parameter, which includes:
Further, in addition to a purpose requirement of the Gap or in addition to the dedicated MUSIM Gap, the terminal determines that the priority of the Gap with early start time is higher than the priority of the Gap with late start time.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the Gap type includes at least one of:
The terminal determines a priority of the Gap according to a Gap type, which includes at least one of:
Optionally, for a per-UE Gap, the terminal may transmit data in an ignored non-overlapping part (namely, the second time period which does not conflict with the first Gap) of the Gap.
Optionally, a non-overlapping part of the autonomous Gap is not ignored. In a case of the autonomous Gap of the second Gap, the terminal performs an associated operation of the autonomous Gap in a non-overlapping time period of the autonomous Gap.
In a case that the Gaps which conflict with each other include at least one network controlled small Gap, the method further includes at least one of the following:
In a case that a visible interruption length (VIL) included in the network controlled small Gap does not conflict with the first Gap, the terminal skips ignoring the VIL. That is, a non-overlapping VIL cannot be ignored.
In a case that a part or an entirety of a measurement length (ML) included in the network controlled small Gap conflicts with the first Gap, and the first Gap is a per-UE Gap or a Gap with the same frequency range as the network controlled small Gap, the terminal skips transmitting data in the conflicted ML part. That is, the ML has a lower priority, and the terminal cannot transmit data during per-UE or same per-FR gap overlapping.
For example, an agreement is made on the priorities of the Gaps which conflict with each other: Without loss of generality, the priorities are represented by H, M, and L, respectively meaning high, medium, and low. The priorities of the various Gaps are as shown in Table 1:
In the explicit indication method for the priorities, in at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The terminal receives first configuration information sent by a network side device, wherein the first configuration information includes: priority indication information of the Gap.
The terminal determines the priority of the Gap according to the first configuration information, wherein the priority indication information is used for indicating a priority level of the Gap, or a priority value of the Gap.
For example, the priority level of each Gap includes high, medium, low, and the like. The priority value of each Gap is {0-10}.
Optionally, the network configures the priorities in Gap configurations, such as, high, medium, and low priorities.
Further, only the high and medium priorities are configured, a default priority is the low priority. Further, only the medium and low priorities are configured, a default priority is the low priority.
Optionally, the network configures the priority value such as {0-10} in the Gap configuration. Or, a default priority is 0, which is either a low priority or a high priority, and the network configures the priority value of {1-10}.
Optionally, the network side device configures the priority of the Gap according to the Gap type, and further indicates the priority to the terminal through the first configuration information. The first configuration information may be transmitted through measurement configuration information or a system message. This is not specifically limited here.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
Without loss of generality, the value of the sharing factor is any percentage and integer between 0 and 100%, including 0, 1, and 100%.
The terminal determines, according to the second configuration information, the sharing factors of the various Gaps which conflict each other. The terminal discards Gaps with relatively large sharing factors.
Optionally, the network side device configures the sharing factor of the Gap according to the Gap type, and further indicates the sharing factor to the terminal through the second configuration information. The second configuration information may be transmitted through measurement configuration information or a system message. This is not specifically limited here.
Optionally, the method further includes the following step:
The terminal determines a target time length suitable for the sharing factors of the various Gaps, wherein the target time length is configured by a network or pre-appointed. Optionally, the target time length may also be referred to as a time window.
For example, the target length is a predefined duration, such as 10.24 seconds; or, the target time length may be defined as a duration including N largest Gap cycles T. That is, the target time length W=N*T. Where N is configured by the network.
In summary, the terminal and the network side device in the embodiments of this application determine a first Gap according to priorities or sharing factors of at least two Gaps which conflict with each other; and the terminal and the network side device use the first Gap and ignore a first time period, which conflicts with the first Gap, in a second Gap. The second Gap is a Gap which conflicts with the first Gap. Thus, the terminal and the network side device reach an agreement on the use of the Gaps which conflict with each other, thereby improving the Gap use efficiency, improving the data transmission efficiency, and avoiding data loss.
As shown in
Step 301, a terminal determines discard time periods of the various Gaps according to discard probabilities of various Gaps which conflict with each other.
Step 302, the terminal ignores the discard time periods of the various Gaps.
The terminal ignores the discard time periods of the various Gaps, which may be understood as: The terminal stops performing corresponding operations or tasks in the discard time periods of the various Gaps, or the terminal stops performing measurement of measurement objects associated with the Gaps in the discard time periods of the various Gaps.
Optionally, the terminal uses non-discard time periods of the various Gaps. The non-discard time period of a Gap may be understood as a non-discard time period in a Gap occasion. The terminal uses non-discard time periods of the various Gaps, which may be understood as: The terminal performs operations or tasks corresponding to the Gaps in the non-discard time periods of the various Gaps. Or, the terminal performs measurement of measurement objects associated with the Gaps in the non-discard time periods of the various Gaps.
In a case that at least two Gaps partially overlap, or at least two Gaps fully overlap, or a time distance between at least two Gaps is less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the at least two Gaps conflict with each other.
For example, at least two Gaps which conflict with each other are Gap1 and Gap2. If a discard rate of Gap1 is 30%, and a discard rate of Gap is 70%, the discard time period of Gap1 is 30% of a total time length of Gap1 and the discard time period of Gap2 is 70% of a total time length of Gap2. Start positions or end positions of the discard time periods of the various Gaps are pre-appointed by the terminal and a network.
Optionally, each Gap calculates its own Gap discard rate. The terminal maintains the discard rate of the Gap not greater than a sharing factor of the Gap. The network needs to configure an appropriate sharing factor according to an actual situation.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The terminal determines the discard probabilities of the various Gaps according to sharing factors of the various Gaps. The discard probability of a Gap is a ratio of the sharing factor of the Gap to a sum of the sharing factors of all the Gaps which conflict with each other.
For example, the sharing factor of Gap1 is X1, and the sharing factor of Gap2 is X2. The discard probability of Gap1 is: X1/(X1+X2)*100%; and the discard probability of Gap2 is: X2/(X1+X2)*100%.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
Optionally, the network side device configures the sharing factor of the Gap according to the Gap type, and further indicates the sharing factor to the terminal through the third configuration information. The third configuration information may be transmitted through measurement configuration information or a system message. This is not specifically limited here.
In summary, the terminal and the network side device in the embodiments of this application determine the discard time periods of the various Gaps according to the discard probabilities of the various Gaps which conflict with each other; and ignore the discard time periods of the various Gaps. Thus, the terminal and the network side device reach an agreement on the use of the Gaps which conflict with each other, thereby improving the Gap use efficiency, improving the data transmission efficiency, and avoiding data loss.
As shown in
Step 401, a network side device determines a first Gap according to priorities or sharing factors of at least two Gaps which conflict with each other. The first Gap is any one of the following: a Gap, having the highest priority, of the two Gaps which conflict with each other; and a Gap, having the lowest sharing factor, of the two Gaps which conflict with each other.
Step 402, the network side device uses the first Gap.
The network side device uses the first Gap, which may be understood as: The network side device performs an operation or a task corresponding to the first Gap within the first Gap. Or, the network side device performs measurement of a measurement object associated with the first Gap within the first Gap.
Step 403, the network side device ignores a first time period, which conflicts with the first Gap, in a second Gap, wherein the second Gap is a Gap which conflicts with the first Gap.
The network side device ignores a first time period of a second Gap, which may be understood as: The network side device stops performing the corresponding operation or task in the first time period of the second Gap, or the network side device stops performing measurement of a measurement object associated with the second Gap in the first time period of the second Gap.
In a case that at least two Gaps partially overlap, or at least two Gaps fully overlap, or a time distance between at least two Gaps is less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the at least two Gaps conflict with each other.
The Gap referred to in the embodiments of this application may also be referred to as a Gap occasion. The network configures a Gap Pattern (Gap pattern or Gap template) or a Gap Configuration. One Gap Pattern or Gap Configuration includes at least one Gap occasion. For example, a periodic Gap may have Gap occasions that occur periodically, and an aperiodic Gap may have only one Gap occasion.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The network side device uses a second time period of the second Gap, which may be understood as: The network side device performs an operation or a task corresponding to the second Gap in the second time period of the second Gap. Or, the network side device performs measurement of a measurement object associated with the second Gap in the second time period of the second Gap.
The network side device ignores the second time period of the second Gap, which may be understood as: The network side device stops performing the corresponding operation or task in the second time period of the second Gap, or the network side device stops performing measurement of the measurement object associated with the second Gap in the second time period of the second Gap.
As an optional embodiment, in a case that the network side device ignores the second time period, which does not conflict with the first Gap, in the second Gap, the method further includes the following step:
The network side device performs data transmission in the second time period.
It should be noted, the terminal and a network side device should reach an agreement on the processing of the first Gap and the second Gap, that is, the terminal and the network side device process the first Gap in the same way and also process the first time period and the second time period of the second Gap in the same way, thereby avoiding data loss. Furthermore, since the terminal and the network side device can perform the data transmission in the second time period, which does not conflict with the first Gap, in the second Gap, the data transmission efficiency can be improved, and the Gap use efficiency can be further improved.
In at least one embodiment of this application, priorities of the at least two Gaps which conflict with each other may be determined by means of an implicit indication or may be determined by means of an explicit indication.
In the implicit indication method for the priorities, in at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:

For example, in a case of partial overlapping, the Gap for positioning measurement has a higher priority. That is, in a case that another Gap conflicts with the Gap for positioning measurement, the Gap for positioning measurement has a higher priority. That is, the Gap for positioning measurement is the first Gap mentioned above.
For another example, in a case that the Gaps for positioning measurement partially overlap, the network side device does not ignore a non-overlapping time period, that is, the network side device continues to perform an associated operation in the non-overlapping time period.

Or, a Gap that is exclusively associated with measured objects or RATs has a higher priority than a non-exclusively associated Gap. The non-exclusive association means that a measurement object associated by the Gap is associated to a plurality of Gaps.
Optionally, the association degree between a Gap and a measurement object or a radio access type may be indicated by a Gap-based configuration of the network.

In a case that a part or an entirety of a measurement length (ML) included in the network controlled small Gap conflicts with the first Gap, and the first Gap is a per-UE Gap or a Gap with the same frequency range as the network controlled small Gap, the network side device skips transmitting data in the conflicted ML part. That is, the ML has a lower priority, and the network side device cannot transmit data during per-UE or same per-FR gap overlapping.
In the explicit indication method for the priorities, in at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The network side device sends first configuration information to a terminal, wherein the first configuration information includes: priority indication information of the Gap. The priority indication information is used for indicating a priority level of the Gap, or a priority value of the Gap.
For example, the priority level of each Gap includes high, medium, low, and the like. The priority value of each Gap is {0-10}.
Optionally, the network configures the priorities in Gap configurations, such as, high, medium, and low priorities.
Further, only the high and medium priorities are configured, a default priority is the low priority. Further, only the medium and low priorities are configured, a default priority is the low priority.
Optionally, the network configures the priority value such as {0-10} in the Gap configuration. Or, a default priority is 0, which is either a low priority or a high priority, and the network configures the priority value of {1-10}.
Optionally, the network side device configures the priority of the Gap according to the Gap type, and further indicates the priority to the terminal through the first configuration information. The first configuration information may be transmitted through measurement configuration information or a system message. This is not specifically limited here.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The network side device determines the sharing factors of the various Gaps, and sends second configuration information to the terminal, wherein the second configuration information includes: the sharing factors corresponding to the various Gaps, or the sharing factors corresponding to various Gap types.

Optionally, the method further includes the following step:
The network side device determines a target time length suitable for the sharing factors of the various Gaps, wherein the target time length is determined by a network or pre-appointed. Optionally, the target time length may also be referred to as a time window.
For example, the target length is a predefined duration, such as 10.24 seconds; or, the target time length may be defined as a duration including N largest Gap cycles T. That is, the target time length W=N*T. Where N is configured by the network.
In summary, the terminal and the network side device in the embodiments of this application determine a first Gap according to priorities or sharing factors of at least two Gaps which conflict with each other; and the terminal and the network side device use the first Gap and ignore a first time period, which conflicts with the first Gap, in a second Gap, wherein the second Gap is a Gap which conflicts with the first Gap. Thus, the terminal and the network side device reach an agreement on the use of the Gaps which conflict with each other, thereby improving the Gap use efficiency, improving the data transmission efficiency, and avoiding data loss.
As shown in
Step 501, a network side device determines discard time periods of the various Gaps according to discard probabilities of various Gaps which conflict with each other.
Step 502, the network side device ignores the discard time periods of the various Gaps.
Optionally, the network side device uses non-discard time periods of the various Gaps. The non-discard time period of a Gap may be a non-discard time period in the Gap. In a case that at least two Gaps partially overlap, or at least two Gaps fully overlap, or a time distance between at least two Gaps is less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the at least two Gaps conflict with each other.
For example, at least two Gaps which conflict with each other are Gap1 and Gap2. If a discard rate of Gap1 is 30%, and a discard rate of Gap is 70%, the discard time period of Gap1 is 30% of a total time length of Gap1 and the discard time period of Gap2 is 70% of a total time length of Gap2. Start positions or end positions of the discard time periods of the various Gaps are pre-appointed by the terminal and a network.
Optionally, each Gap calculates its own Gap discard rate. The network side device maintains the discard rate of the Gap not greater than a sharing factor of the Gap. The network needs to configure an appropriate sharing factor according to an actual situation.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The network side device determines the discard probabilities of the various Gaps according to sharing factors of the various Gaps. The discard probability of a Gap is a ratio of the sharing factor of the Gap to a sum of the sharing factors of all the Gaps which conflict with each other.
For example, the sharing factor of Gap1 is X1, and the sharing factor of Gap2 is X2. The discard probability of Gap1 is: X1/(X1+X2)*100%; and the discard probability of Gap2 is: X2/(X1+X2)*100%.
In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes the following steps:
The network side device determines the sharing factors of the various Gaps, and sends third configuration information to the terminal, wherein the third configuration information includes: the sharing factors corresponding to the various Gaps, or the sharing factors corresponding to various Gap types.
Optionally, the network side device configures the sharing factor of the Gap according to the Gap type, and further indicates the sharing factor to the terminal through the third configuration information. The third configuration information may be transmitted through measurement configuration information or a system message. This is not specifically limited here.
In summary, the terminal and the network side device in the embodiments of this application determine the discard time periods of the various Gaps according to the discard probabilities of the various Gaps which conflict with each other; and the terminal and the network side device ignore the discard time periods of the various Gaps. Thus, the terminal and the network side device reach an agreement on the use of the Gaps which conflict with each other, thereby improving the Gap use efficiency, improving the data transmission efficiency, and avoiding data loss.
