Abstract

Claims (53)

1 . A method for transmitting a measurement gap combination, executed by a network device and comprising:

transmitting first indication information to user equipment, wherein the first indication information is configured to indicate at least two measurement gap combinations, and each of the at least two measurement gap combinations corresponds to one set of carrier frequencies;

receiving second indication information from the user equipment, wherein the second indication information is configured to indicate a target measurement gap combination that is being used for location measurement, and the target measurement gap combination belongs to the at least two measurement gap combinations; and

forbidding execution of scheduling within a time period corresponding to the target measurement gap combination, and executing scheduling within a time period corresponding to an other measurement gap combination in the at least two measurement gap combinations.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first indication information is further configured to indicate a carrier frequency corresponding to each of the at least two measurement gap combinations.

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

receiving positioning reference signal configuration information of a cell to be measured from the user equipment; and

setting the at least two measurement gap combinations according to the positioning reference signal configuration information.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the

setting the at least two measurement gap combinations according to the positioning reference signal configuration information comprises:

determining a corresponding relation among a carrier frequency, a period, and a time offset that are comprised in the positioning reference signal configuration information,

dividing carrier frequencies satisfying at least one conditions into one of a plurality of carrier frequency groups, such that each of the plurality of carrier frequency groups contain a same condition of the at least one condition, and

determining that the same carrier frequency group corresponds to a same measurement gap combination,

wherein the at least one condition includes:

periods corresponding to at least two carrier frequencies are the same or in a multiple relation; and

time offsets corresponding to at least two carrier frequencies are the same or differ by a set number of time slots.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein transmitting the first indication information to the user equipment comprises:

transmitting radio resource control signaling to the user equipment, wherein a measurement configuration (MeasConfig) message in the radio resource control signaling comprises the first indication information.

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

receiving third indication information from the user equipment, wherein the third indication information is configured to indicate completion of a measurement that uses the target measurement gap combination.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the receiving third indication information from the user equipment comprises:

receiving uplink control information from the user equipment, wherein the uplink control information comprises the third indication information.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing an instruction, wherein when called and executed by a computer, the instruction causes the computer to execute the method according to claim 1 .

9 . A method for transmitting a measurement gap combination, executed by user equipment and comprising:

receiving first indication information from a network device, wherein the first indication information is configured to indicate at least two measurement gap combinations, and each of the at least two measurement gap combinations corresponds to one set of carrier frequencies; and

transmitting second indication information to the network device, wherein the second indication information is configured to indicate a target measurement gap combination that is being used for location measurement, and the target measurement gap combination belongs to the at least two measurement gap combinations.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the receiving the first indication information from the network device comprises:

receiving radio resource control signaling from the network device, wherein a measurement configuration (MeasConfig) message in the radio resource control signaling comprises the first indication information.

11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first indication information is further configured to indicate a carrier frequency corresponding to each of the at least two measurement gap combinations.

12 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting positioning reference signal configuration information of a cell to be measured to the network device, and causing the network device to set the at least two measurement gap combinations according to the positioning reference signal configuration information.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

receiving auxiliary information from a location server, wherein the auxiliary information is configured to cause the user equipment to obtain a reference cell configuration list, reference cell configuration information, and carrier configuration information for the location measurement.

14 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

performing the location measurement on carrier frequencies corresponding to the target measurement gap combination by using the target measurement gap combination, and obtaining a measurement result; and

transmitting the measurement result to a location server.

15 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

completing the location measurement that uses the target measurement gap combination, and transmitting third indication information to the network device, wherein the third indication information is configured to indicate completion of measurement that uses the target measurement gap combination.

16 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the-transmitting third indication information to the network device comprises:

transmitting uplink control information to the network device, wherein the uplink control information comprises the third indication information.

17 . A communication apparatus, comprising one or more processors and a memory; wherein

the memory is configured to store a computer program; and

the one or more processors are collectively configured to execute the computer program, to implement the method according to claim 9 .

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing an instruction, wherein when called and executed by a computer, the instruction causes the computer to execute the method according to claim 9 .

19 . A communication apparatus, comprising one or more processors and a memory; wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program; and
