Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present invention relates to a method for channel measurement and device.

Claims (59)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including a measurement gap sharing configuration, wherein the measurement gap sharing configuration includes measurement gap sharing scheme information;

determining a first scaling factor of a first measurement object associated with a first frequency range (FR) based on a value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information; and

determining a second scaling factor for a second measurement object associated with a second FR based on the value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information,

wherein the terminal is configured for a type of dual connectivity (DC).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first scaling factor is identified based on a first measurement gap sharing ratio allocated to the first measurement object, and

wherein the second scaling factor is identified based on a second measurement gap sharing ratio allocated to the second measurement object.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement gap sharing scheme information is applied for the first FR, the second FR, or the terminal, and

wherein the value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information is one of 00, 01, 10, and 11 corresponding to a measurement gap sharing scheme.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the type of the DC configured for the terminal is one of new radio radio access (NR)—evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) DC or NR-NR DC, and

wherein, in case that the NR-E-UTRA DC is configured for the terminal, the first measurement object is a first FR intra-frequency measurement object.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein intra-frequency measurement is performed without a measurement gap based on an identification that a synchronization signal block (SSB) is completely contained in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the terminal.

6. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

generating a radio resource control (RRC) message including a measurement gap sharing configuration, wherein the measurement gap sharing configuration includes measurement gap sharing scheme information; and

transmitting, to a terminal, the RRC message,

wherein a value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information is used to determine a first scaling factor of a first measurement object associated with a first frequency range (FR),

wherein the value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information is used to determine a second scaling factor for a second measurement object associated with a second FR, and,

wherein the terminal is configured for a type of dual connectivity (DC).

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first scaling factor is identified based on a first measurement gap sharing ratio allocated to the first measurement object, and

wherein the second scaling factor is identified based on a second measurement gap sharing ratio allocated to the second measurement object.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the measurement gap sharing scheme information is applied for the first FR, the second FR, or the terminal, and

wherein the value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information is one of 00, 01, 10, and 11 corresponding to a measurement gap sharing scheme.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the type of the DC configured for the terminal is one of new radio radio access (NR)—evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) DC or NR-NR DC, and

wherein, in case that the NR-E-UTRA DC is configured for the terminal, the first measurement object is a first FR intra-frequency measurement object.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein intra-frequency measurement is performed without a measurement gap based on an identification that a synchronization signal block (SSB) is completely contained in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the terminal.

11. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including a measurement gap sharing configuration, wherein the measurement gap sharing configuration includes measurement gap sharing scheme information,

determine a first scaling factor of a first measurement object associated with a first frequency range (FR) based on a value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information, and

determine a second scaling factor for a second measurement object associated with a second FR based on the value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information,

wherein the terminal is configured for a type of dual connectivity (DC).

12. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein the first scaling factor is identified based on a first measurement gap sharing ratio allocated to the first measurement object, and

wherein the second scaling factor is identified based on a second measurement gap sharing ratio allocated to the second measurement object.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the measurement gap sharing scheme information is applied for the first FR, the second FR, or the terminal, and wherein the value indicated by the measurement gap sharing scheme information is one of 00, 01, 10, and 11 corresponding to a measurement gap sharing scheme.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein intra-frequency measurement is performed without a measurement gap based on an identification that a synchronization signal block (SSB) is completely contained in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the terminal.

16. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

generate a radio resource control (RRC) message including a measurement gap sharing configuration, wherein the measurement gap sharing configuration includes measurement gap sharing scheme information, and
