Description

/ 48 METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM FIELD

[001] The present description refers to, but is not limited to, a field of communication technologies, and particularly to a method and apparatus for paging restriction, a communication device and a storage medium. FUNDAMENTALS

[002] In an evolution of 5th generation mobile communication, since a beamforming technology is used for a millimeter wave frequency band of 2 (FR2), when receiving wireless signals, a user equipment (UE) no longer uses an omnidirectional antenna as happens in a low frequency band FR1. Instead, it is necessary to additionally introduce reception beamforming management, so as to use the best reception beam to obtain greater uplink coverage and a better transmission rate. At the same time, due to the introduction of the beamforming concept, a spatial dimension is introduced into UE transmission, i.e., a physical resource at the same time and frequency can be reused through different beams.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram showing a wireless communication system according to the embodiments of the present description. As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on a cellular mobile communication technology and may include multiple UEs 11 and multiple network devices 12.

[0060] The wireless communication system may be a 4th generation (4G) mobile communication system, also known as a long-term evolution (LTE) system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also referred to as a new new radio (NR) system or 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may also be a next-generation 5G system. The access network in the 5G system may be called a next-generation radio access network (NG-RAN) or MTC system.

[0061] UE 11 can refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. UE 11 can communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). UE 11 can be an Internet of Things UE, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or so-called “cell phone”) and Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 16 / 113 / 48 a computer with an Internet of Things UE. For example, the UE 11 can be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted device, such as a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote UE (also called a remote terminal), an access UE (also called an access terminal), a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user UE (also called user equipment, UE). Alternatively, the UE 11 can be a device on an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, the UE 11 can be a vehicle-mounted device, for example, an electronic control unit with a wireless communication function, or a wireless communication device externally connected to an electronic control unit.Alternatively, the UE 11 could be a roadside device, such as a light pole, a signal lamp, or other roadside devices with a wireless communication function.

[0062] Network device 12 may include an access network device. Optionally, network device 12 may also include a central network device. The access network device may be an evolved access device (eNB) used in the 4G system. Alternatively, the access network device may also be an access device (gNB) adopting a centralized architecture in the 5G system. When adopting the central allocation architecture, the access network device generally includes a central unit (CU) and at least two allocated units (DUs). The central unit is provided with protocol stacks of a packet data convergence protocol layer (PDCP), a radio link control layer (RLC), and a media access control (MAC) layer. The allocated units are provided with a physical layer (PHY) protocol stack. The specific implementation of Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 17 / 113 / 48 network access device is not limited to the modalities described herein.

[0063] A wireless connection can be established between network device 12 and UE 11 by means of a wireless radio. In different embodiments, the wireless radio is a wireless radio based on the 4th generation (4G) mobile communication network technology standard. Alternatively, the wireless radio is a wireless radio based on the 5th generation (5G) mobile communication network technology standard. For example, the wireless radio is a new radio. Alternatively, the wireless radio can also be a wireless radio based on the next-generation 5G mobile communication network technology standard.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 2, an UE adopts a beam sweep reception method to obtain better reception angle coverage. Currently, in an FR2 frequency band, a UE antenna adopts 8 reception beams covering a range of 120°. That is, the UE generates 8 beams through beamforming, and each beam points in a different direction, achieving a beam coverage of 120°. As shown in FIG. 2, r1 to r8 represent 8 reception beams generated by the UE through beamforming, and each reception beam corresponds to a different direction.

[0065] In 3GPP version 16 (Rel-16), a UE capability indicated by simultaneousReceptionDiffTypeD-r16 is introduced, and simultaneousReceptionDiffTypeD-r16 is configured to indicate a capability of whether the UE can simultaneously receive reference signals with two different type D quasi-colocalization (QCLD) relationships. The UE can be configured with two antenna panels on FR2, and simultaneous signal reception with antenna arrays in different positions of the two antenna panels allows the terminal to implement the simultaneousReceptionDiffTypeD-r16 capability (i.e., the ability to receive Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 18 / 113 / 48 simultaneously the reference signals with two different QCL-D relationships). As shown in FIG. 2, each antenna panel basically adopts an 8-beam receiver solution covering 120°. SimultaneousReceptionDiffTypeD-r16 can only indicate whether the UE can perform signal reception in different directions, but it cannot give a clear indication of the UE's actual capability, which leads to a corresponding ambiguous indication of the UE's reception capability, and a base station cannot accurately determine a real situation of a multiple reception capability of the terminal. In practice, two terminal antenna panels, depending on different implementation solutions, can generate beams of three different cases: non-overlapping, partially overlapping, and completely overlapping.

[0066] The current UE report fails to accurately report the actual antenna beam overlap situation, and the base station cannot clearly determine the actual UE reception capability, resulting in insufficient consideration by the base station when scheduling resources for the UE, such as reference signal measurement, and it may occur that the base station allocates too much measurement time for the UE, resulting in wasted time-domain resources.

[0067] Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of base station resource configuration for UE based on beamforming and improve resource utilization efficiency are urgent problems to be solved.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 3, the embodiments of the present description provide a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a user equipment (UE) and includes a step to follow.

[0069] In step 301, UE capacity information is sent to a network device. The capacity information is used by the network device to determine the number n of rounds of Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 19 / 113 / 48 reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in I receiving beam directions, and a round of reference signal measurements includes one or more reference signal measurements in X receiving beam directions from J antennas. The J antennas cover the I receiving beam directions, J is a positive integer greater than 2, X is a positive integer less than or equal to J, and I is a positive integer greater than J.

[0070] In one embodiment, the UE includes J antennas.

[0071] For example, J = 2, that is, the UE includes two antennas.

[0072] In one embodiment, the J antennas of the UE cover the I directions of the receiving beam.

[0073] For example, the UE includes two antennas, the receiving beams of each antenna cover 8 receiving beam directions, and the receiving beams of the two antennas cover 16 receiving beam directions.

[0074] For example, the UE includes two antennas, the receiving beams of each antenna cover 8 receiving beam directions, and the two antennas have one overlapping receiving beam direction, so that the receiving beams of the two antennas cover 15 receiving beam directions. Similarly, there may be other cases, which will not be detailed one by one.

[0075] In one embodiment, the J antennas of the UE are capable of performing reference signal measurement in the X directions of the receiving beam simultaneously.

[0076] For example, the UE includes two antennas, and the two antennas can simultaneously perform the measurement of the reference signal for the same direction of the receiving beam and, in this case, X = 1. The two antennas can simultaneously perform the measurement of the reference signal for different directions of the receiving beam and, in this case, X = 2.

[0077] In one example, the antenna includes: an antenna panel. An antenna panel includes at least one set of antennas, and each set Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 20 / 113 / 48, regarding antennas, includes at least two antenna elements.

[0078] That is, the UE antenna can be the antenna panel. The antenna panel can include one or more antenna arrays. Beamforming is achieved through different antenna arrays. In one possible implementation, an antenna can form receiving beams in different directions through beamforming. The UE can receive reference signals sent by the network device through multiple receiving beams obtained by beamforming.

[0079] For example, a receiving beam may correspond to a receiving beam direction. In one possible implementation, the network device includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: an access network device (such as a base station); or a central network device.

[0080] The main network device can send the reference signal to the UE via the access network device.

[0081] In one possible implementation, the reference signal includes, but is not limited to, a synchronization signal block (SSB). The measurement of the reference signal may be a received power measurement of the Layer 1 reference signal (L1-RSRP) for the SSB.

[0082] In a signal measurement round, the J antennas can perform the reference signal measurement, respectively. In a signal measurement round, the receiving beam directions of the J antennas can be the same or different. Therefore, in a signal measurement round, the J antennas can perform measurements in the X receiving beam directions, where X is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to J. For example, when the receiving beam directions of the J antennas are the same in a signal measurement round, X = 1; when the receiving beam directions of the J antennas are different in a signal measurement round, X = J.

[0083] The UE can have J antennas, and each antenna corresponds to KPetition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 21 / 113 / 48 reception beam directions. Since the reception beam directions of two antennas can overlap, the number I of reception beam directions in which the UE can receive the reference signals is less than or equal to J*K. It can be understood that, in a case where there is an overlap between the reception beam directions of the two antennas (e.g., antenna A and antenna B) of the UE, for example, the reception beam direction of a reception beam from antenna A is the same as the reception beam direction of a reception beam from antenna B, only antenna A or antenna B needs to perform the measurement in that reception beam direction to determine a measurement result of the reference signal in that reception beam direction. Here, the overlap of reception beam directions means overlap of receiver beams.Overlapping of the received beam directions can occur when the difference in the received beam directions is less than a predetermined limit.

[0084] In some embodiments, the UE may have J antennas (e.g., J = 2), and each antenna corresponds to K (e.g., K = 8) receiving beam directions. Since the receiving beam directions of two antennas may overlap, the number I of receiving beam directions in which the UE can receive the reference signals is less than or equal to J*K, for example, I = 14.

[0085] The UE needs to perform one or more rounds of signal measurements to complete the signal measurements in the I receiving beam directions. In each round, the receiving beam directions X are measured, such that X is less than or equal to I. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the UE includes two antennas (antenna 1 and antenna 2, where antenna 1 corresponds to beams r1 to r8, and antenna 2 corresponds to beams R1 to R8), and each antenna corresponds to 8 receiving beam directions. The two antennas have two overlapping receiving beam directions (for example, the receiving beam direction of the receiving beam r2 from antenna 1 overlaps with that of the receiving beam of antenna 2). Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 22 / 113 / 48 reception R8 of antenna 2, and the reception beam direction of reception beam r1 of antenna 1 overlaps with that of reception beam R7 of antenna 2), therefore, the number I of reception beam directions in which the UE can actually receive the reference signals is 14, i.e., I is less than the total number 16 of beams from the two antennas.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the UE is capable of simultaneously receiving multiple reference signals with different QCL-D relationships.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the UE is not able to simultaneously receive multiple reference signals with different QCL-D relationships.

[0088] Here, reference signals with different QCL-D relationships may include reference signals in different directions of the receiving beam.

[0089] In one possible implementation, a round of reference signal measurement includes multiple reference signal measurements performed simultaneously. A reference signal measurement may correspond to an antenna.

[0090] In one embodiment, the UE J antennas support respective reference signal measurements in the same or different directions of the receiving beam simultaneously.

[0091] In one possible implementation, a round of reference signal measurement includes one or more reference signal measurements performed by the J antennas simultaneously in the X directions of the receiving beam.

[0092] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the UE can adopt two antennas to perform the measurement of the reference signal in two directions of the receiving beam simultaneously. For example, the UE can adopt antenna 1 and antenna 2 to simultaneously receive a reference signal in Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 23 / 113 / 48 a receiving beam direction r8 and a reference signal in a receiving beam direction R1. Alternatively, the EU may adopt antenna 1 to receive a reference signal in a receiving beam direction r2 and simultaneously adopt antenna 2 to receive a reference signal in a receiving beam direction R7.

[0093] In some embodiments, the factor affecting the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the I-directions of the receiving beam may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: if there are overlapping reception beams between the J antennas; where the directions of the overlapping reception beams overlap; the number of overlapping reception beams between the J antennas; or whether the UE supports the ability to simultaneously receive reference signals with different QCL-D relationships.

[0094] Here, the overlap of receiving beams can be the overlap of receiving beam directions. Whether the receiving beam directions overlap can be determined according to a difference between the receiving beam directions. For example, in a case where the difference between two receiving beam directions is less than a threshold, the two receiving beam directions overlap; otherwise, it is determined that the two receiving beam directions do not overlap.

[0095] In one possible implementation, in a case where J is greater than 3, the number of overlapping reception beams between the J antennas may include at least one of the following: the number of overlapping reception beams between two antennas; or the number of overlapping reception beams between more than two antennas.

[0096] In a possible implementation, the overlapping of receiving beam directions may include: overlapping of coverage bands of Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 24 / 113 / 48 bundle.

[0097] In one possible implementation, the receiving beams have the same transmission angle, so when the receiving beam directions overlap, the beam coverage intervals also overlap.

[0098] The UE can determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the directions I of the receiving beam based on the factors above.

[0099] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the receiving beam direction r2 of antenna 1 overlaps with the receiving beam direction R8 of antenna 2, the receiving beam direction r1 of antenna 1 overlaps with the receiving beam direction R7 of antenna 2, and the UE has the capability to simultaneously receive reference signals with two different QCL-D relationships. Therefore, in one round of reference signal measurement, the UE can measure reference signals in two receiving beam directions. The UE can complete the reference signal measurements in the 14 receiving beam directions, as shown in FIG. 4, through 7 rounds of reference signal measurements.

[00100] The UE can send capacity information to the network device, so that the network device can determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements.

[00101] In one possible implementation, capacity information is used by the network device to indirectly determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements. For example, capacity information indicates the determination factors above, and the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements is calculated by the network device based on the determination factors.

[00102] In one embodiment, the capacity information includes: a coverage factor of the receiving beam (also referred to below as the coverage factor) configured to indicate the number n of rounds. The factor of Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 25 / 113 / 48 coverage is associated with the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas.

[00103] Here, the coverage factor represents the number of rounds of signal measurements that need to be performed by the UE to complete the reference signal measurements in the directions of the receiving beam I. Here, the name of the coverage factor is not limited.

[00104] The UE can directly indicate the number n of rounds to the network device through capacity information. In this way, the amount of data transmitted can be reduced, the signaling load can be reduced, and the load on the network device caused by calculating the number n of rounds based on the determination factors can also be reduced.

[00105] In a possible implementation, the coverage factor may adopt “Beamoverlapscalingfactor”.

[00106] The coverage factor will be explained below with reference to examples where the UE has two antennas, and each antenna corresponds to 8 reception directions. The UE can send Beamoverlapscalingfactor to the network device. For example, by default, Beamoverlapscalingfactor = 8, indicating that a terminal needs to perform 8 rounds of SSB measurements (for each round of SSB measurement, both antennas perform the measurement simultaneously) to complete the SSB-based L1-RSRP measurements. This means that the two antenna panels of the UE do not overlap in the reception beams (i.e., a total of 16 beam directions need to be measured).

[00107] For example, Beamoverlapscalingfactor = 4. The 8 beams from one of the two terminal antennas completely overlap the 8 beams from the other of the two terminal antennas (i.e., a total of 8 beam directions need to be measured). The UE can complete the SSB-based L1-RSRP measurements of all receiver beams in 4 rounds of SSB measurements (for each round of SSB measurements, the two antennas perform simultaneously). Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 26 / 113 / 48 (SSB measurements in different directions of the receiving beam).

[00108] In this way, based on the capacity information, the network device can determine the number of rounds of reference signal measurements required by the UE, which reduces a deviation in the determination of the number of rounds of reference signal measurements caused by the UE capacity being unknown to the network device, thus improving the accuracy of the resource configuration by the network device.

[00109] In one embodiment, the number n of rounds is determined according to the number of receiving beam directions associated with each antenna and the number of overlapping receiving beam directions between the J antennas.

[00110] In one possible implementation, the number n of rounds is positively correlated with the number of receiving beam directions associated with each antenna.

[00111] The greater the number of receiving beam directions associated with each antenna, the greater the number n of rounds required for the measurement.

[00112] In one possible implementation, the number n of rounds is negatively correlated with the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas.

[00113] The greater the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas, the smaller the number n of rounds required for the measurement.

[00114] In one embodiment, in a case where J = 2, and each antenna is associated with receiving beam directions, the number n of rounds is represented by expression (1): n = r - Floor (m / 2) (1) where n represents the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements (i.e., the coverage factor), m represents the number of Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 27 / 113 / 48 superimposed reception beam directions between the J antennas and Floor() represents rounding down.

[00115] Here, the UE has the ability to simultaneously receive reference signals with two different QCL-D relationships, i.e., in one round of reference signal measurement, the UE can measure reference signals in two receiving beam directions.

[00116] Here, m can represent the number of receiving beams from one antenna that overlap with the receiving beams of another antenna.

[00117] In an overlapping reception beam direction, only one antenna needs to perform the reference signal measurement to determine the measurement result.

[00118] For example, an antenna corresponds to 8 reception directions of the beam, that is, r = 8.

[00119] In a case where m is 2, that is, as shown in FIG. 4, the number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that have an overlapping relationship with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 2. The UE can complete reference signal measurements in the 14 receiving beam directions, as shown in FIG. 4, through 7 rounds of reference signal measurements.

[00120] Similarly: The number of receiving beam directions from one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 1, i.e., m = 1, and the UE needs to perform 8 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 15 beam directions.

[00121] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 2, i.e., m = 2, and the UE needs to perform 7 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 14 beam directions.

[00122] The number of beam directions of a receiving antenna that Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 28 / 113 / 48 overlaps the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 3, i.e., m = 3, and the UE needs to perform 7 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 13 beam directions.

[00123] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 4, i.e., m = 4, and the UE needs to perform 6 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 12 beam directions.

[00124] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 5, i.e., m = 5, and the UE needs to perform 6 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 11 beam directions.

[00125] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 6, i.e., m = 6, and the UE needs to perform 5 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 10 beam directions.

[00126] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 7, i.e., m = 7, and the UE needs to perform 5 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 9 beam directions.

[00127] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 8, i.e., m = 8, and the UE needs to perform 4 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 8 beam directions.

[00128] In one possible implementation, the coverage factor could be the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas. The network device could determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the I reception beam directions according to the coverage factor. The way the network device determines the number n of rounds could be similar to the way Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 29 / 113 / 48, as the EU determines the number n of rounds, which will not be described in detail here.

[00129] As shown in FIG. 5, the embodiments of the present description provide a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a user equipment (UE) and includes a step to follow.

[00130] In step 501, a measurement configuration sent by the network device is received. The measurement configuration includes: a measurement duration for the reference signal measurements in the receiving beam directions I and a beam sweep coefficient N to determine the measurement duration, which is determined based on the capacity information.

[00131] The network device determines the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the directions of the receiving beam I according to the received capacity information.

[00132] The network device can determine the beam N scan coefficient according to the number n of rounds.

[00133] The beam scan coefficient N can be used to calculate the measurement duration.

[00134] In one possible implementation, the number n of rounds is positively correlated with the beam scan coefficient N.

[00135] In one embodiment, the beam scan coefficient N is equal to the number n of rounds.

[00136] In one possible implementation, the beam sweep coefficient N can be a calculation parameter used in a calculation rule to calculate the measurement duration.

[00137] In one possible implementation, the beam scan coefficient N is positively correlated with the measurement duration.

[00138] The network device can calculate the measurement duration based on the N-beam scan coefficient. Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 30 / 113 / 48

[00139] The network device determines the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements based on capacity information, determines the beam sweep coefficient N according to the number n of rounds, and additionally determines the measurement duration, thus improving the degree of correspondence between the measurement duration and the reference signal measurement performed by the UE and improving the accuracy of the resource configuration.

[00140] The network device can indicate the measurement configuration to the UE, so that the UE can determine a time-domain feature, such as the measurement duration, to perform the measurement of the reference signal.

[00141] In one possible implementation, the network device can send the reference signals within the measurement duration so that the UE performs measurements in the receiving beam directions I within the measurement duration.

[00142] For example, after receiving the beam coverage factor reported by the terminal, the network device sets the beam scan coefficient N = Beamoverlapscalingfactor associated with the duration of the SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement for the terminal.

[00143] The UE measures the SSB's L1-RSRP according to the measurement duration indicated by the network device and reports a measurement result. After obtaining the corresponding L1-RSRP measurement result, the network device can select the best beam for subsequent transmission scheduling.

[00144] As shown in FIG. 6, the embodiments of the present description provide a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a network device and includes a step to follow.

[00145] In step 601, capacity information sent by a UE is received. The capacity information is configured to determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed. Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 31 / 113 / 48 executed by the EU in I receiving beam directions, and a round of reference signal measurement includes one or more reference signal measurements in X receiving beam directions from J antennas. The J antennas cover the I receiving beam directions, J is a positive integer greater than 2, X is a positive integer less than or equal to J, and I is a positive integer greater than J.

[00146] In one embodiment, the UE includes J antennas.

[00147] For example, J = 2, meaning the UE includes two antennas.

[00148] In one embodiment, the J antennas of the UE cover the I directions of the receiving beam.

[00149] For example, the UE includes two antennas, the receiving beams of each antenna cover 8 receiving beam directions, and the receiving beams of the two antennas cover 16 receiving beam directions.

[00150] For example, the UE includes two antennas, the receiving beams of each antenna cover 8 receiving beam directions, and the two antennas have one overlapping receiving beam direction, so the receiving beams of the two antennas cover 15 receiving beam directions. Similarly, there may be other cases, which will not be detailed one by one.

[00151] In one embodiment, the J antennas of the UE are capable of performing reference signal measurement in the X directions of the receiving beam simultaneously.

[00152] For example, the UE includes two antennas, and the two antennas can simultaneously perform the measurement of the reference signal for the same direction of the reception beam, and in this case, X = 1. The two antennas can simultaneously perform the measurement of the reference signal for different directions of the reception beam, and in this case, X = 2.

[00153] In one example, the antenna includes: an antenna panel. An antenna panel includes at least one set of antennas, and each set Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 32 / 113 / 48, regarding antennas, includes at least two antenna elements.

[00154] In other words, the UE antenna can be the antenna panel. The antenna panel can include one or more antenna arrays. Beamforming is achieved through different antenna arrays.

[00155] In one possible implementation, an antenna can form receiving beams in different directions through beamforming. The UE can receive reference signals sent by the network device through multiple receiving beams obtained by beamforming.

[00156] Here, a receiving beam can correspond to a receiving beam direction.

[00157] In one possible implementation, the network device includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: an access network device (such as a base station); or a central network device.

[00158] The main network device can send the reference signal to the UE via the access network device.

[00159] In one possible implementation, the reference signal includes, but is not limited to, SSB. The measurement of the reference signal may be the L1-RSRP measurement for the SSB.

[00160] In a signal measurement round, the J antennas can perform the reference signal measurement, respectively. In a signal measurement round, the receiving beam directions of the J antennas can be the same or different. Therefore, in a signal measurement round, the J antennas can perform measurements in the X receiving beam directions, where X is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to J. For example, when the receiving beam directions of the J antennas are the same in a signal measurement round, X = 1; when the receiving beam directions of the J antennas are different in a signal measurement round, X = J.

[00161] The UE can have J antennas, and each antenna corresponds to K receiving beam directions. As the receiving beam directions of two Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 33 / 113 / 48 antennas can overlap, the number I of receiving beam directions in which the UE can receive the reference signals is less than or equal to J*K. That is, it can be understood that in a case where there is an overlap in the receiving beam direction of the two antennas (e.g., antenna A and antenna B) of the UE, for example, the receiving beam direction of a receiving beam from antenna A is the same as the receiving beam direction of a receiving beam from antenna B, only antenna A or antenna B needs to perform the measurement in that receiving beam direction to determine a measurement result of the reference signal in that receiving beam direction. Here, overlapping receiving beam directions means overlapping receiving beams. Overlapping receiving beam directions can occur when a difference in receiving beam directions is less than a predetermined limit.

[00162] In some embodiments, the UE may have J antennas (e.g., J = 2), and each antenna corresponds to K (e.g., K = 8) receiving beam directions. Since the receiving beam directions of two antennas may overlap, the number I of receiving beam directions in which the UE can receive the reference signals is less than or equal to J*K, for example, I = 14.

[00163] The UE needs to perform one or more rounds of signal measurements to complete the signal measurements in the I directions of the receiving beam. In each round, the receiving beam directions X are measured, such that X is less than or equal to I.

[00164] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the UE includes two antennas (antenna 1 and antenna 2, where antenna 1 corresponds to beams r1 to r8, and antenna 2 corresponds to beams R1 to R8), and each antenna corresponds to 8 receiving beam directions. The two antennas have two overlapping receiving beam directions (for example, the receiving beam direction of the receiving beam r2 from antenna 1 overlaps with that of the receiving beam R8 from antenna 2, and Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 34 / 113 / 48 the receiving beam direction of the receiving beam rl of antenna 1 overlaps with that of the receiving beam R7 of antenna 2), therefore, the number I of receiving beam directions in which the UE can actually receive the reference signals is 14, i.e., I is less than the total number 16 of beams from the two antennas.

[00165] In one possible implementation, the UE is capable of simultaneously receiving multiple reference signals with different QCL-D relationships.

[00166] In a possible implementation, the UE is not capable of simultaneously receiving multiple reference signals with different QCL-D relationships.

[00167] Here, reference signals with different QCL-D relationships may include reference signals in different directions of the receiving beam.

[00168] In one possible implementation, a round of reference signal measurement includes multiple reference signal measurements performed simultaneously. A reference signal measurement may correspond to an antenna.

[00169] In one embodiment, the UE J antennas support respective reference signal measurements in the same or different directions of the receiving beam simultaneously.

[00170] In one possible implementation, a round of reference signal measurement includes one or more reference signal measurements performed by the J antennas simultaneously in the X directions of the receiving beam.

[00171] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the UE can simultaneously use two antennas to measure the reference signal in two directions of the receiving beam simultaneously. For example, the UE can simultaneously use antenna 1 and antenna 2 to receive, Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 35 / 113 / 48 respectively, a reference signal in a receiving beam direction r8 and a reference signal in a receiving beam direction R1 simultaneously. Alternatively, the EU may adopt antenna 1 to receive a reference signal in a receiving beam direction r2 and simultaneously adopt antenna 2 to receive a reference signal in a receiving beam direction R7.

[00172] In some embodiments, the factor affecting the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the I-directions of the receiving beam may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: if there are overlapping reception beams between the J antennas; where the directions of the overlapping reception beams overlap; the number of overlapping reception beams between the J antennas; or whether the UE supports the ability to simultaneously receive reference signals with different QCL-D relationships.

[00173] Here, the overlap of receiving beams can be the overlap of receiving beam directions. Whether the receiving beam directions overlap can be determined according to a difference between the receiving beam directions. For example, in a case where the difference between two receiving beam directions is less than a threshold, the two receiving beam directions overlap; otherwise, it is determined that the two receiving beam directions do not overlap.

[00174] In one possible implementation, in a case where J is greater than 3, the number of overlapping reception beams between the J antennas may include at least one of the following: the number of overlapping reception beams between two antennas; or the number of overlapping reception beams between more than two antennas.

[00175] In a possible implementation, the overlapping of directions Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 36 / 113 / 48 of the receiving beam may include: overlapping beam coverage bands.

[00176] In one possible implementation, the receiving beams have the same transmission angle, so when the receiving beam directions overlap, the beam coverage intervals also overlap.

[00177] The UE can determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the I directions of the receiving beam based on the factors above.

[00178] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the receiving beam direction r2 of antenna 1 overlaps with the receiving beam direction R8 of antenna 2, the receiving beam direction r1 of antenna 1 overlaps with the receiving beam direction R7 of antenna 2, and the UE has the capability to simultaneously receive reference signals with two different QCL-D relationships. Therefore, in one round of reference signal measurement, the UE can measure reference signals in two receiving beam directions. The UE can complete the reference signal measurements in the 14 receiving beam directions, as shown in FIG. 4, through 7 rounds of reference signal measurements.

[00179] The UE can send capacity information to the network device, so that the network device can determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements.

[00180] In one possible implementation, capacity information is used by the network device to indirectly determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements. For example, capacity information indicates the determination factors above, and the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements is calculated by the network device based on the determination factors.

[00181] In one embodiment, capacity information includes: a coverage factor of the receiving beam configured to indicate the number Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 37 / 113 / 48 number of rounds. The coverage factor is associated with the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas.

[00182] Here, the coverage factor represents the number of signal measurement rounds indicated by the UE to the network device that need to be performed by the UE to complete the reference signal measurements in the directions of the receiving beam I. Here, the name of the coverage factor is not limited.

[00183] The UE can directly indicate the number n of rounds to the network device through capacity information. In this way, the amount of data transmitted can be reduced, the signaling load can be reduced, and the load on the network device caused by calculating the number n of rounds based on the determination factors can also be reduced.

[00184] In a possible implementation, the coverage factor may adopt “Beamoverlapscalingfactor”.

[00185] The coverage factor will be explained below with reference to examples where the UE has two antennas, and each antenna corresponds to 8 reception directions. The UE can send Beamoverlapscalingfactor to the network device.

[00186] For example, Beamoverlapscalingfactor = 4. The 8 beams from one of the two terminal antennas completely overlap the 8 beams from the other of the two terminal antennas (i.e., a total of 8 beam directions need to be measured). The UE can complete the SSB-based L1-RSRP measurements of all receiving beams in 4 rounds of SSB measurements (for each round of SSB measurements, the two antennas simultaneously perform SSB measurements in different directions of the receiving beam).

[00187] In this way, based on capacity information, the network device can determine the number of rounds of reference signal measurements required by the UE, which reduces a deviation in the determination. Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 38 / 113 / 48, regarding the number of rounds of reference signal measurements caused by the UE capability being unknown to the network device, thus improving the accuracy of resource configuration by the network device.

[00188] In one embodiment, the number n of rounds is determined according to the number of receiving beam directions associated with each antenna and the number of overlapping receiving beam directions between the J antennas.

[00189] In one possible implementation, the number n of rounds is positively correlated with the number of receiving beam directions associated with each antenna.

[00190] The greater the number of receiving beam directions associated with each antenna, the greater the number n of rounds required for the measurement.

[00191] In one possible implementation, the number n of rounds is negatively correlated with the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas.

[00192] The greater the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas, the smaller the number n of rounds required for the measurement.

[00193] In one embodiment, in a case where J = 2, and each antenna is associated with receiving beam directions, the number n of rounds is represented by expression (1); where n represents the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements (i.e., the coverage factor), m represents the number of overlapping receiving beam directions between the J antennas, and Floor() represents the rounding down.

[00194] Here, the UE has the ability to simultaneously receive reference signals with two different QCL-D relationships, i.e., in one round of reference signal measurement, the UE can measure reference signals in two receiving beam directions. Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, p. 39 / 113 / 48

[00195] Here, m can represent the number of directions of the receiving beam of one antenna that overlap with the directions of the receiving beam of another antenna.

[00196] In an overlapping reception beam direction, only one antenna needs to perform the reference signal measurement to determine the measurement result.

[00197] For example, an antenna corresponds to 8 beam reception directions, that is, r = 8.

[00198] In a case where m is 2, that is, as shown in FIG. 4, the number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that have an overlapping relationship with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 2. The UE can complete reference signal measurements in the 14 receiving beam directions, as shown in FIG. 4, through 7 rounds of reference signal measurements.

[00199] Similarly: The number of receiving beam directions from one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 1, i.e., m = 1, and the UE needs to perform 8 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 15 beam directions.

[00200] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 2, i.e., m = 2, and the UE needs to perform 7 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 14 beam directions.

[00201] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 3, i.e., m = 3, and the UE needs to perform 7 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 13 beam directions.

[00202] The number of directions of the receiving beam of one antenna that overlap with the directions of the receiving beam of another antenna is 4, that is, m Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 40 / 113 / 48 = 4, and the EU needs to perform 6 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a 12-direction beam measurement result.

[00203] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 5, i.e., m = 5, and the UE needs to perform 6 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 11 beam directions.

[00204] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 6, i.e., m = 6, and the UE needs to perform 5 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 10 beam directions.

[00205] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 7, i.e., m = 7, and the UE needs to perform 5 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 9 beam directions.

[00206] The number of receiving beam directions of one antenna that overlap with the receiving beam directions of another antenna is 8, i.e., m = 8, and the UE needs to perform 4 rounds of reference signal measurements to determine a measurement result of 8 beam directions.

[00207] In one possible implementation, the coverage factor could be the number of overlapping reception beam directions between the J antennas. The network device could determine the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the I reception beam directions according to the coverage factor. The way the network device determines the number n of rounds could be similar to the way the UE determines the number n of rounds, which will not be described in detail here.

[00208] As shown in FIG. 7, the embodiments of the present description provide a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a network device and includes the following steps. Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 41 / 113 / 48

[00209] In step 701, a beam scan coefficient N is determined according to the capability information.

[00210] In step 702, a measurement duration for the UE to perform the reference signal measurements in the receiving beam directions I is determined according to the beam sweep coefficient N.

[00211] The network device determines the number n of rounds of reference signal measurements to be performed by the UE in the directions of the receiving beam I according to the received capacity information.

[00212] The network device can determine the beam N scan coefficient according to the number n of rounds.

[00213] The beam scan coefficient N can be used to calculate the measurement duration.

[00214] In one possible implementation, the number n of rounds is positively correlated with the beam scan coefficient N.

[00215] In one embodiment, the beam scan coefficient N is equal to the number n of rounds.

[00216] In one possible implementation, the beam sweep coefficient N can be a calculation parameter used in a calculation rule to calculate the measurement duration.

[00217] In one possible implementation, the beam scan coefficient N is positively correlated with the measurement duration.

[00218] The network device can calculate the measurement duration based on the N-beam scan coefficient.

[00219] In one example, the beam scan coefficient N is equal to the number n of rounds.

[00220] The network device determines the number n of reference signal measurement rounds based on capacity information, determines the beam sweep coefficient N according to the number n of rounds, and additionally determines the measurement duration, thus improving Petition 870250092096, dated 08 / 10 / 2025, page 42 / 113 / 48 the degree of correspondence between the measurement duration and the measurement of the reference signal carried out by the EU and improving the accuracy of the resource configuration.

[00221] As shown in FIG. 8, the embodiments of the present description provide a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a network device and includes a step to follow.

[00222] In step 801, a measurement configuration is sent to the EU. The measurement configuration includes at least: the measurement duration.

[00223] The network device can indicate the measurement configuration to the UE, so that the UE can determine a time-domain feature, such as the measurement duration, to perform the measurement of the reference signal.

[00224] In one possible implementation, the network device can send the reference signals within the measurement duration so that the UE performs measurements in the receiving beam directions I within the measurement duration.

[00225] For example, after receiving the beam coverage factor reported by the terminal, the network device sets the beam sweep coefficient N = Beamoverlapscalingfactor associated with the duration of the SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement for the terminal.

[00226] The UE measures the SSB's L1-RSRP according to the measurement duration indicated by the network device and reports a measurement result. After obtaining the corresponding L1-RSRP measurement result, the network device can select the best beam for subsequent transmission scheduling.

[00227] Specific examples are provided below in combination with any of the above modalities: The terminal reports a configured coverage factor for an antenna, and the network performs transmission and measurement scheduling for the terminal according to a corresponding capacity.
