Description

Gap configuration method and network element equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a Gap configuration method and a network element device.

Background

In order to further improve the spectrum efficiency and user throughput of the mobile communication system, a Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology is introduced into the long term evolution-Advanced (LTE-a). Carrier aggregation refers to that a User Equipment (UE) can simultaneously use multiple Component Carriers (CCs) for uplink and downlink communication, so as to support high-speed data transmission.

In LTE-a, to support carrier aggregation techniques, there may be multiple receivers on the UE side, each of which may serve one or more carriers. Generally, when initially accessing a base station, a UE reports information, such as several receivers on the UE side and capabilities of the receivers, to the base station, where the capabilities of the receivers include: which frequency band the receiver supports and how many CCs the receiver supports. The receiver at the UE side has the following working modes:

the first mode is as follows: a receiver that is providing service for one or more carriers serves the newly added carriers by a frequency modulation (re-tuning) method, which is to adjust the operating center frequency point of the receiver and/or widen the operating frequency band bandwidth of the receiver.

The second way is: during Gap, the receiver stops the running task to perform other operations (such as performing pilot frequency measurement or deactivating measurement of carrier), and the base station does not schedule the UE during Gap. In general, there are two modes of Gap, one is 6ms Gap within 40ms, and the other is 6ms Gap within 80 ms.

Generally, when a carrier is added or a UE switches a base station, the receiver may use the first usage mode or use an idle receiver to serve the added carrier or the carrier used when the UE switches into the target base station.

In the LTE-a in the prior art, when inter-frequency measurement or deactivation measurement is required, the base station directly configures Gap for the UE, and the Gap is effective for all receivers of the UE. The base station does not schedule the UE on all CCs during Gap, thereby causing interruption of data transmission of the UE.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the invention provides a Gap configuration method and network element equipment.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a Gap configuration method, including:

user Equipment (UE) or a base station acquires the service relationship between a current receiver and a Component Carrier (CC); the receiver is a receiver on the UE;

the UE or the base station determines whether Gap needs to be configured or not according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC and the capability of the receiver;

when determining that Gap needs to be configured, the UE or the base station determines a receiver that needs to perform Gap configuration, and according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC, does not transmit the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver that needs to perform Gap configuration, and transmits the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver that does not need to perform Gap configuration.

Another embodiment of the present invention provides a network element device, including:

a service relationship obtaining unit, configured to obtain a service relationship between a current receiver and a component carrier CC; the receiver is a receiver on User Equipment (UE);

a Gap configuration determining unit, configured to determine whether Gap needs to be configured according to a service relationship between a current receiver and the CC and the capability of the receiver;

the receiver determining unit is used for determining the receiver needing Gap configuration after the Gap configuration determining unit determines that Gap needs to be configured;

and the control unit is used for not transmitting the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver needing Gap configuration according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC and transmitting the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver not needing Gap configuration.

Detailed Description

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Gap configuration method, including:

101. the UE or the base station acquires the service relationship between the current receiver and the Component Carrier (CC); the receiver is a receiver on a user equipment UE.

The service relationship between the receiver and the CCs refers to which CCs the receiver serves, for example, the receiver 1 currently uses 3 CCs, namely 10Hz, 10.5Hz, and 11Hz, for data transmission, the receiver 1 serves the three CCs, and the receiver 1 has service relationships with the 3 CCs, namely 10Hz, 10.5Hz, and 11 Hz.

The main body for executing each step in this embodiment may be a base station, and specifically, the base station determines, according to the capability of each receiver on the UE and the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC, a receiver serving the CC that needs to be currently allocated, and obtains the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC according to the determined service relationship between the receiver and the CC that needs to be currently allocated, and the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC. In order to let the UE know which receiver is serving which CC that needs to be allocated, the base station sends the determined receiver information serving the CC that needs to be allocated currently to the UE. When a CC needs to be added, the CC which needs to be allocated currently is the CC which needs to be added; when the UE is switched to the base station, the CC currently required to be allocated is the CC used when the UE is switched into the target base station. When the pilot frequency measurement is needed, the CC needing to be distributed currently is the frequency needing to be measured; when the measurement of the deactivated carrier is needed, the CC needing to be allocated currently is the deactivated carrier needing to be measured; and when the UE initially accesses the network, the CC needing to be allocated currently is the CC adopted by the UE initially accessing the network. Preferably, the base station may determine the receiver serving the CC currently required to be allocated according to the capability of each receiver on the UE, the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC, and the receiver resource allocation priority. Specifically, the determined receiver serving the CC currently needed to be allocated is: and the receiver supports the frequency of the CC needing to be allocated currently, and the number of all the CCs served currently is not more than the number of the CCs supported by the receiver. Wherein, the frequency supporting the CC needing to be allocated currently refers to: the frequency of the CC that needs to be currently allocated is within the frequency range supported by the receiver. The number of all the currently served CCs comprises the CCs needing to be distributed currently; if the receiver has served N CCs, the number of all CCs currently served is N + 1.

Or, determining a receiver of the CC service to be currently allocated by the UE, receiving, by the base station, a resource reconfiguration complete message reported by the UE, where the resource reconfiguration complete message carries the receiver information of the CC service to be currently allocated, and the base station obtains, according to the receiver information, a service relationship between the receiver of the CC service to be currently allocated and the CC to be currently allocated, and obtains a service relationship between the current receiver and the CC by using the service relationship between the receiver of the CC service to be currently allocated and the CC to be currently allocated and the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC. The Resource reconfiguration complete message may be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration complete message, or a Radio Resource Control connection establishment complete message, or a Radio Resource Control connection reestablishment complete message.

102. And the UE or the base station determines whether the Gap needs to be configured or not according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC and the capability of the receiver.

Wherein the capabilities of the receiver include: which frequency band the receiver supports and how many CCs the receiver supports.

Specifically, the base station determines whether a receiver which is in an idle state and supports the frequency to be measured exists at present according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CCs and the capability of the receiver, and determines whether the number of the served CCs is smaller than the number of the supported CCs and the receiver supports the frequency to be measured; if a receiver which is in an idle state and supports frequency points to be measured exists currently, or the number of the served CCs is less than the number of the supported CCs and supports the frequency to be measured, determining that Gap does not need to be configured; if there is no receiver currently in an idle state and supporting a frequency to be measured, and there is no receiver whose number of served CCs is less than the number of supported CCs and supporting a frequency to be measured, it is determined that Gap needs to be configured.

After step 102, when Gap needs to be configured, determining a receiver needing Gap configuration, according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC, not transmitting the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver needing Gap configuration, and continuing transmitting the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver not needing Gap configuration. Since the UE data transmission continues on the CC served by the receiver that does not need Gap configuration, the UE data transmission is not interrupted. The determining of the receiver that needs Gap configuration refers to determining on which receiver the Gap is configured, and the base station may determine on which receiver the Gap is configured according to a predetermined rule, for example, on the receiver with the smallest number of served CCs, the Gap is configured.

103. When determining that Gap needs to be configured, the UE or the base station determines a receiver that needs Gap configuration.

Specifically, the receiver to be configured with Gap may be selected according to a preset rule, where the preset rule may be to select the receiver with the smallest number of serving CCs, or may be other rules, and the implementation of the present invention is not affected.

104. And the UE or the base station does not transmit the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver needing Gap configuration according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC, and transmits the data of the UE on the CC served by the receiver not needing Gap configuration.

Because the data of the UE is not transmitted on the CC served by the receiver needing Gap configuration, the data of the UE is transmitted on the CC served by the receiver needing no Gap configuration, and thus, the interruption of the data transmission of the UE can be avoided.

The execution subject of this embodiment may be UE, and when the execution subject of this embodiment is UE, the specific implementation manner of step 101 may be: the UE receives a resource reconfiguration message sent by a base station, wherein the resource reconfiguration message carries the service relationship between a current receiver and the CC determined by the base station; or, the resource reconfiguration message carries receiver information of the CC service which is determined by the base station to be currently allocated, and obtains a service relationship between a receiver of the CC service which is currently allocated and the CC which is currently allocated according to the receiver information, and obtains a service relationship between the current receiver and the CC by using the service relationship between the receiver of the CC service which is currently allocated and the CC which is currently allocated, and the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC; or, the UE determines a receiver serving the CC currently required to be allocated according to the capability of each receiver, the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC, and/or the receiver resource allocation priority, where when the CC needs to be added, the CC currently required to be allocated is the CC that needs to be added; when the UE is switched to the base station, the CC currently required to be allocated is the CC used when the UE is switched into the target base station. When the pilot frequency measurement is needed, the CC needing to be distributed currently is the frequency needing to be measured; when the measurement of the deactivated carrier is needed, the CC needing to be allocated currently is the deactivated carrier needing to be measured; and when the UE initially accesses the network, the CC needing to be allocated currently is the CC adopted by the UE initially accessing the network.

When the main execution body of this embodiment is UE, before step 102, the UE receives an inter-frequency measurement instruction or a carrier measurement deactivation instruction, and a specific manner of determining whether Gap needs to be configured in step 102 is the same as the specific manner of determining whether Gap needs to be configured by the base station, which is not described herein again.

When the execution main body of the embodiment is the UE, after determining the receiver that needs to perform Gap configuration, the UE configures Gap for the determined receiver, and sends a first response message to the base station, where the first response message carries Gap configuration information and receiver information that needs to perform Gap configuration; or, the UE sends a second response message to the base station, where the second response message carries receiver information that needs Gap configuration; wherein the receiver information comprises: if the receiver information includes the ID of the receiver or the CC served by the receiver, the subsequent base station can know on which CCs the data of the UE is not scheduled during the Gap according to the ID of the receiver and the service relationship between each receiver and the CC; if the receiver information includes the CCs served by the receiver that needs to perform Gap configuration, the subsequent base station does not need to know the service relationship between each receiver and the CCs, but does not schedule the data of the UE on the CCs carried in the first response message or the second response message (i.e., the CCs served by the receiver that needs to perform Gap configuration). Wherein the Gap configuration information includes: the starting time of Gap in Gap mode and corresponding mode; wherein, the Gap has two modes, one is a Gap of 6ms within 40ms, and the other is a Gap of 6ms within 80 ms; if the mode is a mode with Gap of 6ms in 40ms, the starting time of the Gap in the corresponding mode refers to specific time in 40ms at which the Gap starts to be Gap of 6 ms; if there is Gap of 6ms within 80ms, the starting time of Gap in the corresponding mode refers to which specific time of 80ms starts Gap of 6 ms.

Or, the UE sends a third response message to the base station, where the third response message includes indication information requesting to configure Gap; and after receiving the third response message, the subsequent base station determines a receiver needing Gap configuration according to the service relationship between the receiver and the CC, and sends the determined receiver information to the UE, or after receiving the third response message, the base station sends the Gap configuration information to the UE, and after receiving the third response message, the UE determines the receiver needing Gap configuration and sends the determined receiver information to the base station.

In the embodiment of the invention, the service relationship between the receiver and the CC is obtained before the Gap is configured, so that when the pilot frequency measurement or the deactivation measurement is needed, whether the Gap needs to be configured is determined according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CC, the Gap does not need to be directly configured for each receiver, and the interruption of the data transmission of the UE can not be caused. Furthermore, since the service relationship between the receiver and the CC is known, the data of the UE may be scheduled only on the receiver configured with Gap without scheduling the data of the UE, and the data transmission interruption of the UE may not be caused.

Several ways in which the base station acquires the service relationship of the receiver and the CC are described in detail as follows:

fig. 2 shows a specific implementation method for a base station to acquire a service relationship between a receiver and a CC, in which the base station controls resource allocation of the receiver, and the method specifically includes:

201. when a CC needs to be added, a UE switches a base station, and pilot frequency measurement or deactivated carrier measurement needs to be performed, the base station determines a receiver serving the CC currently needing to be allocated according to the capability of the receiver, and sends a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message to the UE, where the message carries information of the CC currently needing to be allocated and the receiver serving the CC.

When a base station allocates a CC for a receiver on UE for the first time, the base station determines the receiver serving the CC which needs to be allocated currently only according to the capability of the receiver, and specifically, the base station determines the receiver serving the CC which needs to be allocated currently according to the frequency band supported by each receiver;

when a subsequent base station allocates a CC for a receiver on UE, the base station determines the receiver serving the CC which needs to be allocated currently according to the capability of the receiver and the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC, wherein the determined receiver is as follows: and the receiver supports the frequency of the CC needing to be allocated currently, and the number of all the CCs served currently is not more than the number of the CCs supported by the receiver. Wherein, the frequency supporting the CC needing to be allocated currently refers to: the frequency of the CC that needs to be currently allocated is within the frequency range supported by the receiver. The number of all the currently served CCs comprises the CCs needing to be distributed currently; if the receiver has served N CCs, the number of all CCs currently served is N + 1. For example, the receiver 1 supports 3 CCs, the supported frequency band is 10Hz to 11Hz, the receiver 2 supports 2 CCs, the supported frequency band is 10Hz to 10.5Hz, the CC to be currently allocated is 10.5Hz, the base station considers the service relationship between the receiver 1 and the receiver 2 and the CCs, and if the receiver 2 already serves 2 CCs, the CC to be currently allocated cannot be allocated to the receiver 2.

Specifically, when a CC needs to be added, the CC currently needing to be allocated is the CC needing to be added, and the base station sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message to the UE, where the message carries information of the CC needing to be added and a receiver serving the CC.

When UE switches base stations, the target base station determines the CC used by the UE switched into the target base station, determines a receiver serving the CC used by the UE switched into the target base station according to the capability of the receiver, and sends RRC connection reconfiguration information to the base station, wherein the information carries the CC used by the UE switched into the target base station and the receiver information serving the corresponding CC.

When the inter-frequency measurement or the deactivation of the carrier measurement is needed, the currently allocated CC is the frequency to be measured, the base station determines the frequency to be measured belongs to the frequency band range of which receiver according to the capability of the receiver, when the number of the CCs served by the receiver is less than the number of the CCs supported by the receiver, the receiver is determined to measure the frequency, and the base station sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message to the UE, wherein the message carries the frequency to be measured and the receiver information for determining to measure the frequency.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the receiver information may be a receiver ID or a CC served by the receiver. If the receiver information is a certain CC, the subsequent UE determines which receiver serves the CC according to the service relationship between each receiver and the CC, so that it can determine which receiver is the CC that needs to be added or the CC that the UE switches into the target base station or the frequency service that needs to be measured, that is, it is determined that the receiver serving the CC carried in the RRC connection reconfiguration message is the CC that needs to be added or the CC that the UE switches into the target base station or the frequency service that needs to be measured. For example, the receiver 1 currently serves 3 CCs, which are assumed to be 10Hz, 10.5Hz, and 10.6Hz, and the receiver information carried in the RRC connection configuration message sent by the base station includes 10Hz, the UE finds the CC service for which the receiver 1 serves 10Hz after receiving the receiver information, and thus determines that the receiver 1 is a CC that needs to be added or a CC used by the UE to switch into the target base station or a frequency service that needs to be measured.

202. And the UE adds the CC needing to be distributed currently to a corresponding receiver according to the RRC connection reconfiguration message.

Specifically, when the CC needs to be added, the CC needing to be added is added to the corresponding receiver; when the UE switches the base station, adding the CC used by the UE switched into the target base station into the corresponding receiver; when the pilot frequency measurement is needed or the carrier measurement is deactivated, the frequency needing to be measured is added to the receiver.

If the RRC connection reconfiguration message carries the ID of the receiver, directly adding the CC needing to be allocated currently to the receiver corresponding to the ID; and if the RRC connection reconfiguration message carries a certain CC, adding the CC which needs to be allocated currently to a receiver which serves the CC carried in the RRC connection reconfiguration message.

Fig. 3 shows a specific implementation method for a base station to acquire a service relationship between a receiver and a CC, in which a UE controls resource allocation of the receiver and notifies the base station of the resource allocation of the receiver, and the method specifically includes:

301. the base station sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message to the UE, where the message carries CCs currently needing to be allocated, where the CCs currently needing to be allocated may be CCs currently needing to be added, or CCs used by the UE switching in the target base station, or frequencies to be measured.

302. And the UE determines the receiver serving the CC which needs to be distributed currently according to the capability of the receiver and the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC.

Specifically, refer to the related description below step 201, and are not described herein again.

303. And the UE sends an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the base station, wherein the message carries the determined receiver information of the CC service which needs to be distributed currently.

The receiver information may be a receiver ID or a CC on the receiver. The subsequent UE determines which receiver serves the CC according to the service relationship between each receiver and the CC, so that it may determine which receiver is the CC that needs to be added or the CC that the UE switches into the target base station or the frequency service that needs to be measured, that is, it may determine that the receiver serving the CC carried in the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message is the CC that needs to be added or the CC that the UE switches into the target base station or the frequency service that needs to be measured.

Fig. 4 shows another specific implementation method for a base station to obtain a service relationship between a receiver and a CC, in which the base station and a UE determine, according to capabilities of receivers on the UE, an existing service relationship between the receiver and the CC, and a receiver resource allocation priority, a receiver serving a CC that needs to be currently allocated, and the method specifically includes:

401. the base station sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message to the UE, where the message carries CCs currently needing to be allocated, where the CCs currently needing to be allocated may be CCs currently needing to be added, or CCs used by the UE switching in the target base station, or frequencies to be measured.

402. And the UE determines the receiver serving the CC which needs to be allocated currently according to the capability of each receiver, the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC and the resource allocation priority of the receiver.

Wherein, the priority of the resource allocation of the receiver refers to the selection sequence of the service modes of the receiver. For example, the order is that it can serve CC by spreading the receiver, serve CC using one idle receiver, configure Gap; it is also possible to use an idle receiver to serve the CC, configure the Gap by spreading the receiver so that it can serve the CC. When more than two receivers serving the CC through spread spectrum exist, determining which receiver is adopted to serve the CC needing to be distributed currently according to the sequence of the receivers in a capability list of the UE reported to a base station by the UE; and when more than two idle receivers exist, determining which receiver is adopted to serve the CC needing to be distributed currently according to the sequence of the receivers in the capability list of the UE reported to the base station by the UE.

For example, the UE has 5 receivers, and according to the service relationship between the existing receivers and CCs, it is determined that there are 2 receivers, such as receiver 1 and receiver 2, capable of serving CCs currently needing to be allocated through spreading; the example assumes that the currently allocated CC is 10.5Hz, the receivers 1 and 2 can support a frequency band of 10Hz to 11Hz, the receiver 1 can support 3 CCs, and the receiver 2 can support 4 CCs, and according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CCs, both the receivers 1 and 2 already serve 2 CCs, and it can be seen that both the receivers can serve the currently allocated CC through spreading. Assume again that there are 3 receivers, such as receiver 3, receiver 4, and receiver 5, in idle state and supporting 10.5 Hz. The receiver resource allocation priority is from high to low for enabling the receiver to serve the CC by spreading it, serving the CC with one idle receiver, configuring Gap. At this time, the receiver 1 and the receiver 2 may serve the CC currently needed to be allocated, and then determine which receiver to use for serving the CC needed to be allocated according to the sequence of the receiver 1 and the receiver 2 in the capability list of the UE reported by the UE to the base station.

403. And the base station determines the receiver serving the CC which needs to be allocated currently according to the capability of each receiver, the service relationship between the existing receiver and the CC and the resource allocation priority of the receiver.

Since the base station and the UE use the same receiver resource allocation priority, both determine that the receiver serving the CC that needs to be allocated currently is the same.

Wherein, step 402 has no time sequence relation with step 403, or step 403 may be executed first and then step 402 is executed, or executed simultaneously, without affecting the implementation of the present invention.

Fig. 5 shows a specific implementation method for a base station to acquire a service relationship between a receiver and a CC when a UE initially accesses a network, where the method specifically includes:

501. the base station transmits an RRC connection establishment request message or an RRC connection reestablishment request message to the UE.

502. And the UE sends an RRC connection establishment completion message or an RRC connection reestablishment completion message to the base station, wherein the message carries the information of a receiver used by the UE initial access network, so that the base station can know that the receiver serves the CC adopted by the current UE access network.

Wherein the receiver information may be a receiver ID.

Since the base station knows on which CC the UE initiates the RRC connection establishment request message or the RRC connection reestablishment request message, the base station receives the receiver information again, and obtains the service relationship between the receiver and the CC.

Wherein, the receiver information used by the UE initially accessing the network carried in this step is determined by the UE according to the capability of each receiver. Assuming that the CC initiating the RRC connection establishment request message or the RRC connection reestablishment request message is 10.5Hz, the UE finds a receiver supporting the 10.5Hz according to the capability of each receiver, and if there are a plurality of found receivers, may select one receiver according to some predetermined rules, such as selecting the receiver supporting the largest number of CCs, and then sends an RRC connection establishment completion message or an RRC connection reestablishment completion message to the base station, where the message carries information of the selected receiver.

Optionally, the message in step 502 may not carry information of a receiver used by the UE to initially access the network, but the UE directly uses an implied receiver, for example, the implied receiver may be the first available receiver of the UE, that is, the first available receiver in the capability list reported by the UE. Thus, the first available receiver is the receiver for the CC service currently employed by the UE to access the network.

In the above description, several ways for the base station to obtain the service relationship between the receiver and the CC are described, fig. 6 shows a Gap configuration method, in which the base station determines whether to configure a Gap, and the base station determines on which receiver to configure a Gap, and the method specifically includes:

601. when the pilot frequency measurement or the deactivation carrier measurement is needed, the base station determines whether Gap needs to be configured according to the service relationship between each current receiver and the CC and the capability of the receiver, if so, the step 602 is executed; if not, the base station determines the frequency to be measured belongs to the frequency band range of which receiver according to the capability of the receiver, when the number of the CCs served by the receiver is less than the number of the CCs supported by the receiver, the receiver is determined to measure the frequency, the base station sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message to the UE, the message carries the frequency to be measured and the information of the receiver determining to measure the frequency, and the process is ended.

Specifically, the base station determines whether a receiver which is in an idle state and supports the frequency to be measured exists at present according to the service relationship between the current receiver and the CCs and the capability of the receiver, and determines whether the number of the served CCs is smaller than the number of the supported CCs and the receiver supports the frequency to be measured; if a receiver which is in an idle state and supports the frequency to be measured exists currently, or the number of the served CCs is less than the number of the supported CCs and supports the frequency to be measured, determining that the Gap does not need to be configured; if there is no receiver currently in an idle state and supporting a frequency to be measured, and there is no receiver whose number of served CCs is less than the number of supported CCs and supporting a frequency to be measured, it is determined that Gap needs to be configured.

602. The base station selects a receiver according to the service relationship between the receiver and the CC and a preset rule, configures Gap on the selected receiver, and sends RRC connection reconfiguration information to the UE, wherein the information carries the configured Gap and the selected receiver information.

The preset rule may be to select the receiver with the least number of serving CCs, or may be other rules, which do not affect the implementation of the present invention.

603. During Gap, the UE controls the receiver selected by the base station to perform pilot frequency measurement or deactivate carrier measurement.

604. During Gap, the base station does not schedule data for the UE on the CC served by the selected receiver.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the base station knows the service relationship between the receiver and the CC, the data of the UE can be scheduled only on the CC served by the receiver configured with the Gap, and the data of the UE can be scheduled on the CC served by other receivers, so that the data transmission interruption of the UE can not be caused.

Fig. 7 shows another Gap configuration method, in which a base station determines whether to configure a Gap, and a UE determines on which receiver to configure the Gap, the method specifically includes:

701. when the pilot frequency measurement or the deactivation carrier measurement is needed, the base station determines whether the Gap needs to be configured according to the service relationship between each current receiver and the CC and the capability of the receiver, if so, the step 702 is executed; if not, the flow is ended.

702. And the base station sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message to the UE, wherein the RRC connection reconfiguration message carries a Gap configuration indication.

703. And the UE determines which receiver is configured with Gap, and sends an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the base station, wherein the message carries the determined receiver information. The receiver information may be a receiver ID, or a CC served by the receiver.

Wherein, the receiver information carried in the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message includes an ID of the receiver, or all CCs served by the receiver; if the receiver information includes the ID of the receiver, the subsequent base station can know on which CCs the data of the UE is not scheduled during the Gap according to the ID of the receiver and the service relationship between each receiver and the CC; if the receiver information includes all CCs served by the receiver, the subsequent base station does not need to know the service relationship between each receiver and the CCs, but does not schedule the data of the UE on the CCs carried in the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message (i.e., all CCs served by the receiver that needs to perform Gap configuration).
