1. A method performed by an access network node, comprising:
determining, for a transmission to be scheduled for a terminal device, whether one or more control channels required by the transmission have no collision with a 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;
in response to determining that the one or more control channels have no collision with a measurement gap and the traffic channel has collision with a measurement gap, determining a second repetition number of the traffic channel that is larger than the current repetition number of the traffic channel; and
scheduling the transmission for the terminal device based on the second repetition number.
