This application provides a method for signal reception and transmission in a measurement gap. User equipment (UE) obtains, in dual connectivity, a measurement configuration delivered by a base station, and determines a first cell group in which signal reception and transmission can be performed in the measurement gap; performs signal reception and transmission with the base station in the first cell group in the measurement gap; and performs inter-frequency or inter-RAT measurement in a second cell group. The second cell group is a cell group in which signal reception or transmission cannot be performed in the measurement gap. In the measurement gap, the base station and the UE can still receive and transmit signals in the first cell group, and radio frequency channels of the UE that support signal reception and transmission in the measurement gap can be fully used for performing signal reception and transmission.

A method and apparatus for suspending measurement with measurement configuration in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device receives, from a first cell, measurement configuration including a measurement frequency list and a suspension cell list. A wireless device perform measurements on at least one frequency included in the measurement frequency list. A wireless device moves to a second cell from the first cell. A wireless device stops the measurements and keeps the measurement configuration, based on determining that the second cell is included in the suspension cell list.

A method and an access network node are disclosed for scheduling transmission for terminal device. According to an embodiment, the access network node determines, for a transmission to be scheduled for a terminal device, whether one or more control channels required by the transmission have no collision with measurement gap and a traffic channel required by the transmission has collision with a measurement gap, based on current repetition number of the traffic channel. When determining that the one or more control channels have no collision with measurement gap and the traffic channel has collision with a measurement gap, the access network node determines a second repetition number of the traffic channel that is larger than the current repetition number of the traffic channel. The access network node schedules the transmission for the terminal device based on the second repetition number.

A particular beam is selected based on the comparison, and a random access procedure is initiated.

A transmission method includes: stopping transmission on a first symbol and/or within a measurement window time when a terminal carries out inter-frequency measurement for which an interval does not need to be measured, wherein the first symbol comprises one or more of the following: a symbol to be measured, one or more symbols previous to the symbol to be measured, and one or more symbols following the symbol to be measured.

To predict a first metric for a station in a wireless network, at least one hardware processor in a prediction device or at least one hardware processor in a first access point associated with the station, determines that a recent measurement of a second metric correlated with the first metric has hanged compared to a previous measurement of the second metric, the second metric for the station and measured by the first access point; and in case the second metric has changed, prediction of the first metric for the station is triggered. The first metric can be a signal strength of a signal received by the station from a second access point not associated with the station and the second metric a signal strength of a signal received by the first access point from the station.
