本申请主张在2022年1月7日在中国提交的中国专利申请No.202210016653.3的优先权，其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
技术领域
本申请属于通信技技术领域，具体涉及一种间隙(Gap)信息传输方法、装置和网络侧设备。
背景技术
在双连接(Dual Connectivity，DC)中，用户设备(User Equipment，UE)可以接入两个网络节点，其中一个网络节点称为主节点(Master Node，MN)，另一个称为辅节点(Secondary Node，SN)。在每个网络节点，使用了载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)技术，即为UE配置由该网络节点控制的一系列服务小区，也称小区组(cell group)，其中，MN控制的为主小区组(Master Cell Group，MCG)，SN控制的为辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group，SCG)。
此外，在无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management，RRM)测量机制中，网络会配置针对UE(Per-UE)或者针对频率范围(per-FR)的测量间隙(Measurement Gap，MG)，以满足异频测量以及需要测量间隙的其他类型测量的测量需求。
在相关技术中，根据双连接的类型和MG模式，由MN和SN中的一者按照自身获取的Gap需求决策MG配置，但是，鉴于MN和SN分别可以获取不同的Gap需求，由MN和SN中的一个按照自身获取的Gap需求决策的MG配置可能存在与实际Gap需求不匹配而造成Gap的利用效率低的问题。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施 例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象，而不用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的术语在适当情况下可以互换，以便本申请的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的那些以外的顺序实施，且“第一”、“第二”所区别的对象通常为一类，并不限定对象的个数，例如第一对象可以是一个，也可以是多个。此外，说明书以及权利要求中“和/或”表示所连接对象的至少其中之一，字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
值得指出的是，本申请实施例所描述的技术不限于长期演进型(Long Term Evolution，LTE)/LTE的演进(LTE-Advanced，LTE-A)系统，还可用于其他无线通信系统，诸如码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access，CDMA)、时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access，TDMA)、频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Access，FDMA)、正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access，OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(Single-carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access，SC-FDMA)和其他系统。本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”常被可互换地使用，所描述的技术既可用于以上提及的系统和无线电技术，也可用于其他系统和无线电技术。以下描述出于示例目的描述了新空口(New Radio，NR)系统，并且在以下大部分描述中使用NR术语，但是这些技术也可应用于NR系统应用以外的应用，如第6代(6th Generation，6G)通信系统。
图1示出本申请实施例可应用的一种无线通信系统的框图。无线通信系统包括终端11和网络侧设备12。其中，终端11可以是手机、平板电脑(Tablet Personal Computer)、膝上型电脑(Laptop Computer)或称为笔记本电脑、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、掌上电脑、上网本、超级移动个人计算机(Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer，UMPC)、移动上网装置(Mobile Internet Device，MID)、增强现实(Augmented Reality，AR)/虚拟现实(Virtual Reality，VR)设备、机器人、可穿戴式设备(Wearable Device)、车载设备(Vehicle User Equipment，VUE)、行人终端(Pedestrian User Equipment，PUE)、智能家居(具有无线通信功能的家居设备，如冰箱、电 视、洗衣机或者家具等)、游戏机、个人计算机(Personal Computer，PC)、柜员机或者自助机等终端侧设备，可穿戴式设备包括：智能手表、智能手环、智能耳机、智能眼镜、智能首饰(智能手镯、智能手链、智能戒指、智能项链、智能脚镯、智能脚链等)、智能腕带、智能服装等。需要说明的是，在本申请实施例并不限定终端11的具体类型。网络侧设备12可以包括接入网设备或核心网设备，其中，接入网设备也可以称为无线接入网设备、无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)、无线接入网功能或无线接入网单元。接入网设备可以包括基站、无线局域网络(Wireless Local Area Networks，WLAN)接入点或无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，WiFi)节点等，基站可被称为节点B、演进节点B(eNB)、接入点、基收发机站(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)、无线电基站、无线电收发机、基本服务集(Basic Service Set，BSS)、扩展服务集(Extended Service Set，ESS)、家用B节点、家用演进型B节点、发送接收点(Transmitting Receiving Point，TRP)或所述领域中其他某个合适的术语，只要达到相同的技术效果，所述基站不限于特定技术词汇，需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中仅以NR系统中的基站为例进行介绍，并不限定基站的具体类型。
在Rel-15/16 NR RRM测量(以同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block，SSB)测量为例)中，如果激活(active)BWP不包含目标SSB，则基于SSB的测量将需要测量Gap(Measurement Gap，MG)。如图2所示，如果在基于SSB的测量过程中发生BWP切换，则测量周期分为两部分：BWP切换前无MG的测量和BWP切换后有MG的测量。然而，MG是通过RRC信令配置的，而BWP切换可以通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)命令实现，因此相对而言，BWP切换比MG配置更动态或时延更短。这样，由于BWP切换时延较短(即动态)，而MG配置/解除配置时延较长(即相对静态)，所以网络基于BWP切换来配置/解除配置MG相当困难，因此网络可能总是为基于SSB的测量配置MG，因此这将导致网络和UE侧的吞吐量损失。具体的，吞吐量损失的原因是由于一些MG对于基于SSB的测量是不必要的，例如，如图2中，当UE的active BWP为BWP1时，UE不需要MG进行同频测量；但由于MG可能在切换至BWP1前已通过RRC信令配置， 且该MG无法灵活取消，这就造成MG在BWP1期间持续，进而在MG持续时间内UE无法收发数据，所以造成了不必要的吞吐量损失。
为了克服以上UE的吞吐量损失的问题，在相关技术中，通过预先配置的测量间隙(Pre-configured Measurement Gap，Pre-configured MG)，以提升UE及gNB之间配置MG的效率。
对于Pre-configured MG：鉴于服务gNB可以获知所有的SSB配置及BWP配置，因此服务gNB可以获知在每个BWP上，UE是否需要MG(例如：若SSB包含在BWP频域范围内，就无需MG；若SSB未包含在BWP频域范围内，就需要MG)。服务gNB可以根据SSB的配置信息，预先配置相应的MG。但MG是否被激活，可以根据实际active BWP使用情况。例如：如图2所示，若SSB包含在active BWP内(如BWP1)，则对应的MG状态为‘去激活(deactivated)’；若SSB未包含在active BWP内(BWP2)，则对应的MG状态未‘激活(activated)’；若UE BWP切换，从BWP1切换至BWP2，那么MG状态为‘deactivated’变换为‘activated’。也就是说，基于BWP切换触发MG激活/非激活。
随着无线通信技术的发展，UE可以与至少两个接入节点连接，例如：
DC连接，此时，可以由MN和SN中的任一个来决策UE的Gap配置。
具体的，在现有的NR系统中，规定了两种类型的测量间隙：针对UE(per-UE)和针对FR(per-FR)的Gap：
对于per-FR的Gap，又分别为FR1和FR2定义了各自独立的间隙模式，分别为：FR1 gap和FR2 gap；
对于per-UE的Gap，其适用于FR1和FR2，其中，FR1适用于演进的通用地面无线接入(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access，E-UTRA)网络和NR网络，FR2适用于NR网络。
在实施中，在不同的多RAT双连接(Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity，MR-DC)场景下，可以由MN和SN中的一个来决策Gap模式。
其中，双连接(Dual Connectivity，DC)，即为用户设备(User Equipment，UE)可以接入两个网络节点，其中一个网络节点称为主节点(Master Node，MN)，另一个称为辅节点(Secondary Node，SN)。在每个网络节点，使用了 载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)技术，即为UE配置由该网络节点控制的一系列服务小区，也称小区组(cell group)，其中，MN控制的为主小区组(Master Cell Group，MCG)，SN控制的为辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group，SCG)。每个小区组都包含一个特殊小区(Special Cell，SpCell)和一系列辅小区(Secondary Cell，Scell)。MCG中的特殊小区称为主小区(Primary Cell，PCell)，SCG中的特殊小区称为主辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell，PSCell)。在一个小区组中SpCell使用主载波，而其他Scell使用辅载波，且一个小区组内的资源调度由SpCell进行。
对于不同类型的MR-DC和不同类型的Gap模式，可以由各自对应的MN或SN来决策Gap配置。对于per-UE和per-FR1的Gap，在EN-DC、NGEN-DC、NE-DC和NR-DC中，由MN决策Gap模式，且MN还负责经由MN的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)信令向UE提供该Gap模式；
此外，对于per-FR2的Gap，在EN-DC和NGEN-DC中，由SN(NR)决策FR2的Gap模式；在NE-DC和NR-DC中，由MN(NR)决策FR2的Gap模式和相关的Gap共享配置。
由上可知，相关技术中，如果使用per-UE的Gap，则由MN决策Gap模式和相关的间隙共享配置。如果使用per-FR的Gap，则在EN-DC和NGEN-DC中，由MN决策FR1的FR1间隙模式和相关间隙共享配置，而由SN决策FR2的FR2间隙模式和相关间隙共享配置；在NE-DC和NR-DC中，MN决策FR1和FR2的间隙模式以及相关的间隙共享配置。
具体的，在EN-DC和NGEN-DC中，可以基于MN发送给UE的测量间隙配置来指示来自MN的配置是per-UE的Gap的配置还是per-FR1的Gap的配置。且MN还向SN指示配置的per-UE或per-FR1的测量间隙模式和Gap目的(即gap purpose，例如：per-UE or per-FR1)。此外，测量间隙配置辅助信息可以在MN和SN之间交换。对于per-UE的Gap，SN向MN指示由UE测量的FR1和FR2中的SN配置频率的列表。对于per-FR的Gap，SN向MN指示由UE测量的FR1中的SN配置频率的列表，且MN向SN指示由UE测量的FR2中的MN配置频率的列表。
在NE-DC中，MN向SN指示配置的per-UE或per-FR1的测量间隙模式， 在此之前，SN可以向MN提供间隙请求，而不指示任何频率列表。
在NR-DC中，MN向SN指示配置的per-UE、per-FR1或per-FR2的测量间隙模式和Gap目的，在此之前，SN可以向MN指示由UE测量的FR1和FR2中的SN配置频率的列表。
但是，在将MR-DC与Pre-configured MG结合时，由于MN和SN之间未传输Gap的激活状态(激活或者去激活)。例如：SN可能知道测量Gap配置，但不知道测量Gap的激活状态(激活或者去激活)，其中，测量Gap包括per-UE的Pre-configured MG。这样，SN可能因无法获取测量Gap的激活状态而在判断Gap时机冲突、决策Gap配置等过程中得出错误或者不符合实际的结果，从而导致MN和SN确定的Gap状态不一致，降低Gap的利用效率，且造成UE和网络侧设备不必要的吞吐量损失。
本申请实施例中，可以基于MN和SN之间的交互，使MN通知SN关于测量Gap的激活态，以实现Gap的利用效率、提升测量的准确度，以及降低UE和网络侧设备不必要的吞吐量损失的效果。
下面结合附图，通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的Gap信息传输方法、Gap信息传输装置和网络侧设备进行详细地说明。
请参阅图3，本申请实施例提供的第一种Gap信息传输方法，其执行主体可以是第一节点，如图3所示，该第一种Gap信息传输方法可以包括以下步骤：
步骤301、第一节点向第二节点发送Gap信息，所述Gap信息包括Gap状态信息和Gap类型信息中的至少一项。
在实施中，上述第一节点和第二节点可以是与同一终端(或者UE)通信连接的网络侧节点，且第二节点可用于配置该终端的测量间隙，或者基于该测量间隙确定Gap状态(如激活状态、去激活状态或者为动态Gap等)，进而可以基于测量间隙的Gap状态来判断是否存在激活态的Gap时机，是否存在Gap冲突、若存在Gap冲突，是否需要忽略或者丢弃该测量间隙，能否在测量间隙的持续期间传输数据等。
此外，上述第一节点和第二节点可以分别获取各自的Gap信息，第一节点通过将自身获取的Gap信息发送给第二节点，可以是第二节点获取更全面 的Gap信息，进而使第二节点确定的Gap配置/确定的Gap状态更加符合实际，进而实现Gap的利用效率、提升测量的准确度，以及降低UE和网络侧设备不必要的吞吐量损失的效果。
作为一种可选的实施方式，所述第一节点为MN和至少一个SN中的一者，所述第二节点为所述MN和所述至少一个SN中的另一者；或者，
所述第一节点为控制单元(Control Unit，CU)和至少一个数据单元(Data unit，DU)中的一者，所述第二节点为所述CU和所述至少一个DU中的另一者。
为了便于说明，以下实施例中以第一节点为MN和至少一个SN中的一者，第二节点为所述MN和所述至少一个SN中的另一者为例，对MN和SN之间的交互进行举例说明，对于第一节点为CU和至少一个DU中的一者，第二节点为所述CU和所述至少一个DU中的另一者的情况，CU与DU之间的交互可以参考MN和SN之间的交互，在此不作具体阐述。
作为一种可选的实施方式，所述Gap状态信息包括如下至少一项：
Gap状态；
Gap相关的配置信息；
其中，所述Gap状态用于指示目标Gap的激活或去激活状态，或者，所述Gap状态用于指示所述目标Gap为动态Gap；
所述目标Gap为所述第一节点配置的Gap，或者所述目标Gap为所述第一节点请求所述第二节点配置的Gap。
在实施中，所述动态Gap表示Gap状态可以为activated或deactivated，例如：当有任何测量需要Gap时，Gap为激活态；否则为去激活态。其中，所述测量可以是Gap所关联的测量，且所述关联可以通过测量频点、测量对象或关联指示来配置。在相关技术中，对于第一节点配置的动态Gap，其Gap状态可能为激活态或去激活态，但是第二节点不知道该Gap状态，导致第一节点和第二节点确定的Gap状态不一致，影响数据传输速率和数据吞吐量。而本申请实施例中，结合上述Gap状态用于指示目标Gap的激活/去激活状态，第二节点可以基于Gap状态确定目标Gap是激活状态还是去激活状态，进而能够根据该目标Gap的激活/去激活状态来进行Gap的使用以及冲突判断、丢 弃Gap判断，以及确定在Gap期间是否进行数据传输等，能够提升Gap利用率。
具体的，所述Gap状态可以包括以下至少一项：
第一状态信息，用于表征所述目标Gap是否为预配置Gap；
第二状态信息，用于表征所述目标Gap是否为动态Gap；
第三状态信息，用于表征所述目标Gap是否可丢弃；
第四状态信息，用于表征所述目标Gap期间的传输状态；
第一Gap状态，用于表征所述目标Gap的实时的激活/去激活状态；
第二Gap状态，用于表征所述目标Gap的初始的激活/去激活状态。
选项一，与Pre-configured MG相似的，上述预配置Gap(Pre-configured gap)可以是第一节点根据终端的测量需求而预先配置的Gap，且可以基于测量需求触发预配置Gap的激活/去激活，其中，上述测量需求可以包括BWP切换(例如：在激活BWP包括目标SSB的情况下，不需要配置Gap；在激活BWP不包括目标SSB的情况下，需要配置Gap)，且还可以包括其他测量需求，在此不作具体限定。
选项二，上述动态Gap表示Gap状态可以为activated或deactivated。
选项三，上述第三状态信息可以是丢弃(Drop)指示，基于该指示可以确定目标Gap是否可以丢弃。
选项四，上述第四状态信息可以表征在所述目标Gap的全部或部分持续期间内，是否可以传输数据。若在目标Gap的持续期间内可以传输数据，则终端和网络侧设备之间可以进行数据传输，以提升数据吞吐量。
进一步地，上述第四状态信息还可以表示，在Gap冲突或Gap被丢弃时或Gap去激活时是否可以传输数据。这样，在Gap冲突或Gap被丢弃时或Gap去激活时，可以进一步提升终端和网络侧设备的数据吞吐量。
选项五和选项六，上述第一Gap状态和第二Gap状态分别可以用于表征目标Gap实时的和初始的激活/去激活状态，这样，根据目标Gap的实时的激活/去激活状态，可以确定所述目标Gap当前是激活还是去激活状态，且根据目标Gap的初始的激活/去激活状态，可以确定所述目标Gap的初始状态，这样，第二节点可以优先按照该初始状态来配置目标Gap。
此外，第二节点也可以根据上述Gap相关的配置信息来判断目标Gap的激活/去激活状态，其中，上述Gap相关的配置信息可以包括以下至少一项：
所述目标Gap关联的测量频点；
所述目标Gap关联的测量对象；
所述目标Gap的Gap目的，所述Gap目的包括：针对用户设备(per-UE)，或针对第一频率范围(per-FR1)，或针对第二频率范围(per-FR2)，或针对小区组(per-CG)，或辅小区组SCG相关的Gap；
所述目标Gap的Gap配置信息(即Gap pattern)；
所述目标Gap的标识；
所述目标Gap的优先级。
值得注意的是，在相关技术中Gap目的仅区分per-UE和per-FR，本申请实施例中，Gap目的包括per-UE、per-FR1、per-FR2、per-CG和SCG相关的Gap，这样，第二节点根据该Gap目的能够确定更加准确、详细的Gap用途。
在实施中，所述目标Gap的数量可以是一个或者至少两个，例如：所述目标Gap包括至少一个动态Gap，或者，包括至少两个Pre-configured MG，此时，可以通过所述目标Gap的标识来区分每一个目标Gap。
此外，不同的目标Gap可以配置不同的优先级。这样，该优先级可以用于辅助第二节点来决定Gap类型，例如：第二节点请求第一节点配置高优先级的Gap，从而使第一节点配置相关联的Gap；此外，在至少两个Gap时机冲突时，第二节点还可以根据优先级来判断使用哪个Gap(优先级高的Gap)，忽略其他Gap(优先级低的Gap)。
需要说明的是，上述目标Gap关联的测量频点、目标Gap关联的测量对象、目标Gap的Gap配置信息的含义分别可以参考相关技术中的测量频点、测量对象和Gap配置信息的含义，本申请实施例与相关的数的不同之处在于：第一节点和第二节点可以对上述目标Gap关联的测量频点、目标Gap关联的测量对象、目标Gap的Gap配置信息进行交互，从而使第二节点能够根据上述Gap相关的配置信息来进行更加准确的Gap配置，例如：通过测量频点、测量对象或关联指示来配置测量与Gap之间的关联关系。进一步地，第二节点还可以根据上述目标Gap关联的测量频点、目标Gap关联的测量对象、目 标Gap的Gap配置信息来判断目标Gap的状态，例如：对于第一节点配置的动态Gap，当有测量需要Gap时，第二节点可以确定该测量所关联的动态Gap为激活态；否则，第二节点可以确定该测量所关联的动态Gap为去激活态。在此对上述目标Gap关联的测量频点、目标Gap关联的测量对象、目标Gap的Gap配置信息的含义，不作过多阐述。
作为一种可选的实施方式，所述Gap类型信息可以包括以下至少一项：
需要配置的Gap类型；
关联指示，用于指示是否将所述目标Gap关联到关联对象或至少一个测量频点；
关联对象，所述关联对象包括以下至少一项：无线接入技术RAT(如：LTE、第2代(2nd Generation，2G)通信系统、第3代(3rd Generation，3G)通信系统、NR等，在此并不穷举)、定位(positioning)或定位参考信号(Position Reference Signal，PRS)、多卡；
Gap优先级；
需要配置的Gap目的，所述Gap目的包括：针对用户设备per-UE，或针对第一频率范围per-FR1，或针对第二频率范围per-FR2，或针对小区组(per-Cell group，per-CG)，或辅小区组SCG相关的Gap。
选项一，上述所述需要配置的Gap类型，可以包括以下至少一项：
预配置的Gap，该预配置的Gap，可以是每个已配置的BWP的预配置Gap模式或定位测量的预配置Gap模式或其他测量对象的预配置Gap模式，即快速Gap配置，其预配置过程和激活/去激活过程与Pre-configured MG相似，在此不再赘述；
并存的Gap，或配置有关联关系的Gap；
网络控制的小Gap(Network Controlled Small Gap，NCSG)；
自动Gap(Autonomas Gap)；
用于定位测量的Gap(Positioning Gap)；
用于多卡目的的Gap；
上行Gap(Uplink Gap)，在所述上行Gap期间，所述终端停止上行发送；
测量Gap，该测量Gap与并存的Gap，或配置有关联关系的Gap相对， 该测量Gap可以不配置关联。
在实施中，上述并存的Gap，或配置有关联关系的Gap，可以是至少两个并发且独立的Gap模板，在实施中，可以通过配置至少两个并发且独立的Gap模板来实现Gap增强，且这些并发且独立的Gap模板可以关联到一个或多个测量目标。具体的，这些并发且独立的Gap模板可以关联到如下关联对象中的至少一项：
RAT，如：LTE，2G，3G，NR等；
定位(positioning)，或定位参考信号(PRS),；
多卡。
其中，上述至少两个并发且独立的Gap模板中的一个并发Gap可以纯粹用于测量LTE，而其他Gap可以用于其他移动通信发起端(Mobile Originals，MOs)。如：一个间隙仅与LTE测量相关，一个间隙与其他测量(包括NR)相关。
例如：假设第一节点为SN，第二节点为MN，在MN给UE配置测量Gap的情况下，SN可能告知MN需要一个或多个并发的Gap(concurrent gap)。例如，如果SN决定FR2测量的配置，在普通的测量Gap可能不能满足测量要求时，需要一个concurrent gap来保证该FR2测量，从而请求MN为UE配置一个concurrent gap。
此外，除上述预配置的Gap、并存的Gap或配置有关联关系的Gap之外，还可以通过网络控制小Gap(Network Controlled Small Gap，NCSG)来实现Gap增强。该NCSG与相关技术中用于增强MG的NCSG相似，在此不再赘述。
选项二，上述关联指示可以用于指示是否需要将目标Gap关联到关联对象或至少一个测量频点，例如：关联到需要测量的频点或关联对象(如测量频点列表)。这样，第二节点可以根据关联指示来确定Gap配置是否为并发Gap。
选项三，上述关联对象可以是如上列举的RAT、定位或PRS以及多卡等。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中的多卡，可以包括：多个用户识别模块(Multi Subscriber Identity Module，Multi-SIM)，或者多个通用用户识别模块 (Multi Universal Subscriber Identity Module，Multi-USIM)，为了便于说明，以下统一称之为MUSIM。
在实施中，多卡Gap可以用于多卡终端的SIM卡任务，其中，多卡终端可以包含多个UE，这些UE可以称之为Multi-SIM UE或Multi-USIM UE。其中，UE可以认为是签约主体，在实际应用中，一个终端设备上可以配置有多个签约主体，且签约主体可以通过SIM卡或USIM体现。通常情况下，一个SIM卡对应一个网络的签约主体，SIM卡或USIM卡中保存着其对应的签约主体的标识，即UE的标识，比如用户身份标识(Subscription Permanent Identifier，SUPI)，或国际移动订阅标识(International Mobile Subscription Identity，IMSI)等。相应的，一个终端上插入多个SIM卡或配置多个电子SIM卡信息时，可以认为，该终端与不同的签约主体可以构成不同的UE。本申请实施例中，多卡终端中一个UE可以使用Gap来执行其他UE的任务，则可以认为该Gap的目的为多卡目的。
选项四，上述目标Gap的优先级可以在Gap冲突时，供第二节点据此选择保留优先级高的Gap，且忽略或丢弃优先级低的Gap。
选项五，上述需要配置的Gap目的中，除了上述per-UE、per-FR1、per-FR2之外，还可以包括per-CG和SCG相关的Gap，这样，可以使第二节点获取更加精确的Gap目的。
作为一种可选的实施方式，在所述第一节点为MN，所述第二节点为至少一个SN的情况下，所述第一节点向第二节点发送Gap信息，包括：
所述MN向所述至少一个SN发送所述MN为终端配置的目标Gap的Gap信息。
其中，目标Gap的Gap信息可以包括目标Gap的Gap状态(激活/去激活，或者为动态Gap)，和/或，目标Gap的Gap相关的配置信息，该Gap状态和/或Gap相关的配置信息与以上实施例中列举的Gap状态和/或Gap相关的配置信息具有相同含义，在此不再赘述。
本实施方式中，由MN决策为终端配置的目标Gap，且MN还将该目标Gap的Gap信息发送给所述终端接入的SN，这样，MN向SN指示配置的Gap模式和Gap目的(per-UE或per-FR1或per-FR2等)以及Gap状态(激 活或去激活)，以使SN可以基于该Gap信息执行以下至少一项：确定Gap状态(激活/去激活，或者为动态Gap)、进行Gap冲突判断、忽略所述目标Gap、丢弃所述目标Gap、在所述目标Gap的持续期间传输数据等。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述Gap信息可以携带于测量间隙配置(measGapConfig)中。
例如：所述MN在建立、修改或释放SCG时，向所述SCG对应的SN发送包含主节点测量配置(measConfigMN)信息的小区组配置信息(CG-ConfigInfo)，其中，所述measConfigMN包括所述measGapConfig，且所述measGapConfig可以包含Gap状态信息(如所述目标Gap为激活(activated)或者去激活(deactivated)的Gap)，和/或，Gap类型信息。
本实施方式中，通过复用相关技术中用于指示所述MN配置的所述目标Gap的measGapConfig来传输上述Gap信息，可以减少MN和SN之间的信令开销。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，所述MN向所述至少一个SN发送所述MN为终端配置的目标Gap的Gap信息，包括：
所述MN向所述至少一个SN发送Gap激活状态消息，所述Gap激活状态消息用于指示所述MN为终端配置的目标Gap的Gap状态信息。
上述Gap状态信息具体可以指示目标Gap的激活/去激活状态，这样，MN可以通过Gap激活状态消息告知SN，所述目标Gap为激活Gap还是去激活Gap。
在实施中，所述MN可以周期性地或在所述目标Gap的Gap激活状态发生变更时，向所述至少一个SN发送上述Gap激活状态消息，在此对Gap激活状态的发送时机不作具体限定。
本实施方式相较于复用measGapConfig来传输上述Gap信息的实施方式，MN通过新设计的其他消息来向SN发送上述Gap信息，可以更加灵活的传输上述Gap信息。
需要说明的是，在实施中，MN可以发送CG-ConfigInfo信息和Gap激活状态消息，例如：MN在建立，修改或释放SCG时发送CG-ConfigInfo信息。该CG-ConfigInfo中包含measConfigMN信息，且该measConfigMN包含动态 Gap(如定位Gap，且状态为未激活)或预配置Gap(如per-BWP的测量配置)。在此之后，MN还可以向SN发送Gap激活状态消息。
在实施中，上述Gap激活状态消息可以在Gap激活状态变更时发送，这样，可以提升Gap激活状态消息的实时性和有效性。
此外，上述MN可以发送指定的Gap类型(如定位Gap、MUSIM Gap等)相关的Gap激活状态消息，对于其他Gap类型的Gap可以不发送Gap激活状态消息，这样，可以提升Gap激活状态消息的针对性和灵活性。
可选地，所述MN配置的Gap为第一Gap目的的Gap，所述第一Gap目的包括以下至少一项：
针对用户设备per-UE、针对第一频率范围per-FR1、针对第二频率范围per-FR2、针对小区组per-CG、辅小区组SCG相关的Gap。
在实施中，可以复用指示MN配置的第一Gap目标的Gap配置的measGapConfig来传输Gap信息。
本实施方式中，所述MN配置的Gap的Gap目的可以包括per-UE、per-FR1、per-FR2、per-CG以及SCG相关的Gap中的至少一项，这样，MN可以将其配置的上述Gap目的的Gap的Gap信息告知SN，以使SN据此确定上述Gap目的的Gap的激活/去激活状态。
进一步地，在NE-DC或NR-DC中，所述目标Gap的Gap目的为per-UE、per-FR1或per-FR2；
在EN-DC或NGEN-DC中，所述目标Gap的Gap目的为per-UE或per-FR1。
本实施方式中，假设第一节点为MN，第二节点为SN，则在NE-DC或NR-DC中，由MN决策Gap目的为per-UE、per-FR1或per-FR2的Gap配置，且MN还负责将Gap目的为per-UE、per-FR1或per-FR2的Gap的Gap信息(如激活/去激活状态，Gap相关的配置信息等)告知SN，以使SN能够根据该Gap信息确定Gap目的为per-UE、per-FR1或per-FR2的Gap的激活/去激活状态。
与之相对应的，在第一节点为SN，第二节点为MN的情况下，在EN-DC或NGEN-DC中，所述SN请求配置的所述目标Gap的Gap目的可以为per-FR2，且SN可以向MN发送请求配置的目标Gap的Gap信息，以使MN根据SN 的请求配置满足需求的Gap。
可选地，在所述第一节点为SN，所述第二节点为MN的情况下，所述第一节点向第二节点发送Gap信息，包括：
所述SN向所述MN发送小区组配置CG-Config，所述小区组配置携带所述SN请求为终端配置的目标Gap的Gap信息。
本实施方式与上述MN通过CG-ConfigInfo向SN发送目标Gap的Gap信息的区别包括：本实施方式中，第一节点为SN，第二节点为MN，且SN复用现有的CG-Config来向MN提供Gap信息，具体实施方式可以参考上述MN通过CG-ConfigInfo向SN发送目标Gap的Gap信息的实施方式，在此不再赘述。
本实施方式中，SN通过向MN发送Gap信息，可以将SN配置的Gap的Gap信息告知MN，以使MN根据该Gap信息来确定Gap配置；或者，SN通过向MN发送Gap信息，可以请求MN配置SN需要的Gap类型，或者按照SN的需求配置并存或关联的Gap，或者按照SN的需求配置指定Gap目的的Gap等。
进一步地，所述第一节点向第二节点发送Gap信息，包括：
在EN-DC或NGEN-DC或NR-DC中，所述SN通过measConfigSN向所述MN发送所述Gap类型信息，所述CG-Config包括所述measConfigSN。
在实施中，上述measConfigSN可以包含在CG-Config中。
本实施方式与上述MN通过measConfigMN向所述SN发送Gap信息的方式相似，不同之处包括：本实施方式中，第一节点为SN，第二节点为MN，且传递的Gap信息包括Gap类型信息，且承载的该Gap类型信息的信息域为measConfigSN。这样，在EN-DC或NGEN-DC或NR-DC中，SN将需要配置的Gap类型告知MN，这样，MN可以按照该Gap类型信息，来确定Gap配置，也就是说，SN可以辅助MN来确定Gap配置。
与之相对应的，在NE-DC中，所述SN向MN发送上述Gap类型信息，可以请求所述MN为终端配置需要的Gap类型。
在实际应用中，所述Gap信息可以包括Gap状态信息和Gap类型信息，且Gap状态信息和Gap类型信息分别可以通过不同的消息在第一节点与第二 节点之间传输，例如：Gap状态信息通过Gap激活状态消息传输，Gap类型信息包含在Gap配置辅助信息中，该Gap配置辅助信息可以包括CG-Config信息或CG-ConfigInfo信息中的测量配置信息。
本申请实施例中，网络节点间传输Gap信息，包括Gap状态，需要的Gap类型等，可以辅助网络节点确定Gap的配置、确定Gap的激活状态等，有利于在网络节点间沟通Gap的需求，增强Gap的利用效率，进而减少因Gap利用率低而造成的网络侧设备和终端的吞吐量损失。
请参阅图4，本申请实施例提供了第二种Gap信息传输方法，该第二种Gap信息传输方法与如图3所示实施例中的第一种Gap信息传输方法相对应，不同之处在于，第一种Gap信息传输方法的执行主体是第一节点，而第二种Gap信息传输方法的执行主体是第二节点，如图4所示，该第二种Gap信息传输方法可以包括以下步骤：

所述第二节点根据所述Gap信息确定目标Gap的Gap状态和/或确定Gap配置，其中，所述目标Gap为所述第一节点为终端配置的Gap或所述第一节点请求为终端配置的Gap。
当然，在实施中，第二节点还可以根据接收的Gap信息进行其他操作，例如：确定所述目标Gap的是否存在冲突、在存在冲突时，判断是否忽略/丢弃所述目标Gap，以及判断在所述目标Gap期间是否传输数据等，在此不作具体限定。
可选地，所述第二节点根据所述Gap信息确定Gap状态和/或确定Gap配置，包括：
