Embodiments of this application disclose a measurement gap configuration method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, configuration information sent by a network device, where the configuration information includes at least one measurement gap corresponding to a plurality of radio frequency channels that the terminal device has; and performing, by the terminal device, signal quality measurement according to the at least one measurement gap. The measurement gap configuration method enables the terminal device to flexibly process a measurement and data receiving/transmission process, to reduce impact of measurement on data receiving/transmission, thereby improving user experience.

A method for controlling and managing handovers between base stations in adjoining cells in wireless communications enables a user equipment (UE) to report a bit error rate (BER) to a base station having current conduct of communication with the UE. If the BER is greater than a predetermined value, the base station having conduct further determines whether the UE satisfies a handover condition over a period of time and hands conduct over to another base station if the UE satisfies the handover condition for the period of time and if the other base station is not already operating at capacity. An apparatus for controlling and managing handovers is also disclosed.

Some embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a wireless communication device for managing communication in a wireless communications network. The wireless communication device obtains an indicator indicating a model and one or more trained model parameters for the model, wherein the model is related to an event being one of the following events: a handover procedure, a cell reselection procedure, and a beam reselection procedure. The wireless communication device further selects the model based on the obtained indicator. The wireless communication device executes the selected model using the obtained one or more trained model parameters; and triggers a process, being associated with the event, based on an output of the executed model.

Systems and methods are provided to improve candidate search and measurement in non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) 5G new radio (NR) multi-radio access technology (RAT) environments. For Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) NR-dual connectivity (EN-DC), a user equipment (UE) skips 5G band measurements for an initial search or an out-of-service (OOS) search. For SA dual connectivity, the UE avoids 5G remaining band (RBS) scans and limits 5G deviated band search (DBS) scans to bands configured for the carrier.

A method and device for measurement relaxation are provided. The method comprises: indicating the measuring state of a terminal device, wherein the measuring state comprises normal measurement and measurement relaxation. Therefore, indicating the measuring state of a terminal device and indicating that the measuring state of the terminal device is normal measurement or measurement relaxation realize the measurement relaxation of a serving cell.

A method for measurement-relaxation requirement determination is provided. The method includes the following. If a measurement result of a serving cell fulfills both a first measurement-relaxation criterion and a second measurement-relaxation criterion, a terminal device determines, based on first information, a measurement requirement for performing measurement relaxation on a neighbor cell. The first information includes at least one of: first indication information transmitted by a network device, a measurement requirement specified in a protocol, a first measurement requirement corresponding to the first measurement-relaxation criterion and a second measurement requirement corresponding to the second measurement-relaxation criterion, or a period in which the measurement result of a serving cell fulfills the first measurement-relaxation criterion and a period in which the measurement result of a serving cell fulfills the second measurement-relaxation criterion. Another method for measurement-relaxation requirement determination, an electronic device, and a storage medium are further provided.

The embodiments of the present application provide a measurement method and apparatus, a terminal device, and a network device. The method comprises: a terminal device receives first instruction information sent by a network device, the first instruction information being used for instructing to activate a first measurement gap configuration; the terminal device determines frequency domain information associated with the first measurement gap configuration, and performs a measurement on the basis of a measurement configuration and the frequency domain information associated with the first measurement gap configuration.

A measurement method for user equipment (UE), a terminal device, and a network device are provided. Said method comprises: UE determining, according to at least one of need for gap information, no-gap measurement capability, and time-frequency location condition, a measurement gap that needs to be configured for a measurement corresponding to a frequency point or a cell in a specified list; and the UE performing measurement according to the measurement gap.

A wireless network may include a PCELL base station, an SCELL base station, and user equipment (UE) that communicate using standalone carrier aggregation. The UE may receive PCELL signals during first measurement periods, may perform first measurements on the PCELL signals, may receive SCELL signals during second measurement periods, and may perform second measurements on the SCELL signals. When a scheduled reporting time approaches, the UE may compare a duration between a most recent of the second measurement periods and the reporting time to a threshold. If the duration is less than the threshold, the UE may include the most recent second measurement in a measurement report transmitted at the scheduled reporting time. When the duration exceeds the threshold, the receiver may perform a third measurement on the SCELL signals during an unscheduled period prior to the reporting time and may include the third measurement in the measurement report.

A measurement gap configuration method and a measurement gap configuration apparatus are provided. The configuration method includes: determining a first configuration that is configured for a user equipment by a second network node; and configuring a measurement gap for the user equipment according to the first configuration.
