Abstract

In the present disclosure, a UE receives configuration information regarding a measurement gap (MG); transmits a MG skip indication associated with the MG; and transmits uplink signals during the MG.

Claims (46)

1. A method for transmitting uplink signals by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information regarding a measurement gap (MG);

transmitting a MG skip indication associated with the MG; and

transmitting the uplink signals during the MG,

wherein the MG skip indication is transmitted in response to satisfying of conditions for the UE to skip measurements during the MG, and the conditions comprise:

data of a specific logical channel is available for transmission in the UE, and

channel quality of a serving cell is above a threshold.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the uplink signals include the data of the specific logical channel.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

wherein the configuration information includes information regarding a resource used for the MG skip indication, and

wherein the MG skip indication is transmitted using the resource based on the configuration information.

4. The method according to claim 3 ,

wherein the MG skip indication is transmitted based on data of a specific logical channel being available for transmission in the UE at the time when the resource configured for the MG skip indication is present.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

skipping measurements during the MG.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the conditions further comprise:

a timer for prohibiting the UE from skipping measurements during MGs is not running, and

wherein the UE performs the measurements during each MG while the timer is running.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the conditions further comprise:

a counter for prohibiting the UE from skipping measurements during MGs does not reach a specific value, and

wherein the UE increments the counter by 1 per MG, and performs the measurements during each MG while the counter does not reach the specific value.

8. A user equipment (UE) of transmitting uplink signals in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving configuration information regarding a measurement gap (MG);

transmitting a MG skip indication associated with the MG; and

transmitting the uplink signals during the MG,

wherein the MG skip indication is transmitted in response to satisfying of conditions for the UE to skip measurements during the MG, and the conditions comprise:

data of a specific logical channel is available for transmission in the UE, and

channel quality of a serving cell is above a threshold.

9. The UE according to claim 8 ,

wherein the uplink signals include the data of the specific logical channel.

10. The UE according to claim 8 , further comprising:

wherein the configuration information includes information regarding a resource used for the MG skip indication, and

wherein the MG skip indication is transmitted using the resource based on the configuration information.

11. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the MG skip indication is transmitted based on data of a specific logical channel being available for transmission in the UE at the time when the resource configured for the MG skip indication is present.

12. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

skipping measurements during the MG.

13. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the conditions further comprise:

a timer for prohibiting the UE from skipping measurements during MGs is not running, and

wherein the UE performs the measurements during each MG while the timer is running.

14. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the conditions further comprise:

a counter for prohibiting the UE from skipping measurements during MGs does not reach a specific value, and

wherein the UE increments the counter by 1 per MG, and performs the measurements during each MG while the counter does not reach the specific value.
