Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless technology, and in particular to a transmission method, device, terminal and network equipment. Background Art

[0002] The Long Term Evolution (LTE) system introduces carrier aggregation technology, which allows a terminal (such as user equipment (UE)) to connect and communicate with the network through multiple cells, one of which is the primary cell (PCell) and the other cells are secondary cells (SCell). The secondary cell SCell (or secondary carrier) of the carrier aggregation will be activated after receiving the activation command.

[0003] The activation time of a cell refers to the time from when the terminal receives the activation command to when the terminal sends a channel state information (CSI) report. During this activation time, it is usually necessary to perform processes such as hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, automatic gain control (AGC), synchronization, layer 1 measurement and reporting. Therefore, there are many links that need to be executed during the activation time of the cell, and the duration of each link may be long, resulting in a long activation delay of the cell, which in turn causes the cell activation to fail to be completed in time, affecting system performance.

[0145] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present invention more clear, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0146] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0147] The activation time of the secondary cell in the prior art (or described as the activation delay of the secondary cell) is long, especially the activation of the FR2 unknown secondary cell, which includes many links, and the duration of each link may be long (taking FR2 as an example, the activation time of the FR2 unknown secondary cell includes automatic gain control (Automatic Gain Control, AGC), cell search (or cell detection), synchronization, layer 1 measurement and other links, so the cell activation time is the superposition of these links, and because beam scanning is required (beam factor is 8), the time involved in the beam scanning will be longer (extended 8 times), and can even reach seconds, resulting in a longer cell activation time, which in turn leads to the failure to complete the cell activation in time, affecting system performance.

[0148] If the terminal has measured the cell before receiving the secondary cell activation command, the above secondary cell activation steps can be reduced. However, if the terminal has only measured the cell before receiving the secondary cell activation command and has not reported the measurement result to the network (for example, there are no resources), the network cannot know that the terminal has measured the cell, and the network will still assume that the terminal needs a longer secondary cell activation time, that is, it cannot or will not schedule the terminal during this period.

[0149] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a transmission method, whereby the terminal sends a first report to the network after the cell activation command, and indicates to the network through the first report that the terminal has recently measured the corresponding cell / frequency point, so as to reduce the link of activating the secondary cell and achieve the effect of reducing the delay; and / or, the terminal can also send a first message to the network, and indicate to the network through the first message the first information related to the beam, which can assist the network and the terminal to have a consistent understanding of the beam scanning, so that the terminal can complete the beam scanning faster, thereby reducing the link of activating the secondary cell and achieving the effect of reducing the delay; and / or, the terminal determines a first time related to the cell activation, and the determined first time is used to reduce the cell activation time, so as to reduce the link of activating the secondary cell and achieve the effect of reducing the delay.

[0150] In addition, reporting the measurement results after receiving the cell activation command can avoid the problem of being unable to report due to the channel quality not meeting the threshold or the lack of uplink resources. The existing measurement report is only performed when the channel condition (such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR) meets a certain threshold (such as the RSRP of the serving cell is lower than the threshold, the RSRP quality of the neighboring cell is higher than the threshold, or the difference between the RSRP of the serving cell and the neighboring cell meets the threshold). If the above threshold is not met, the terminal does not perform measurement reporting. In addition, even if the threshold is met, if there are no uplink resources at the time of reporting, the terminal does not perform measurement reporting. In the method provided by the present invention, sending the first report after receiving the cell activation command can be free from the above factors. As long as the terminal has measurement results (or is described as having measured the target cell), the terminal can report the measurement results.

[0151] One embodiment of the present invention provides a transmission method, which is applied to a terminal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0152] S110, after the cell activation command, sending a first report to the network; and / or

[0153] Sending first information to a network, wherein the first information is related to the beam; and / or

[0154] A first time is determined, where the first time is related to cell activation.

[0155] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the network mentioned may also be referred to as a network side or a network side device. Optionally, the network side device may be a base station.

[0156] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, "sending a first report to the network after the cell activation command" can also be described as "sending a first report after the cell activation command is triggered" or as "sending a first report to the network after receiving the cell activation command."

[0157] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cell activation command mentioned may also be described as a secondary cell (SCell) activation command.

[0158] Optionally, the sending of the first report mentioned can also be described as reporting the first report. Specifically, the first report can be carried by the MeasurementReport message. Optionally, the first information is related to the beam, and can also be described as the first information is related to the beam scanning. Among them, the beam scanning can also be described as receiving beam scanning, and can be further described as terminal receiving beam scanning. Optionally, considering that beam scanning will affect the activation delay, the first information related to the beam can also be described as the first information is related to the cell activation delay (activation delay). The first information includes at least the beam scanning factor for FR2 secondary cell activation. FR2 terminals can usually only receive signals in one direction at a time, so it is necessary to determine the best receiving beam through beam scanning, and this process takes time, and the speed of beam scanning can be reflected by the beam scanning factor. The smaller the beam scanning factor, the less time required for scanning. In the prior art, the beam scanning factor is 8. In the present invention, in order to reduce the cell activation time, it can be achieved by introducing a smaller beam scanning factor. However, this method has requirements on terminal cost and power consumption, and the terminal needs to send first information to inform the network whether the terminal supports a beam scanning factor less than 8 and what the supported beam scanning factor is. Through the first information, the network and the terminal can have a consistent understanding of the beam scanning time of the terminal.

[0159] Optionally, in step S110, the first report sent by the terminal to the network may include a secondary cell measurement report.

[0160] By adopting the transmission method described in the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, after the cell activation command, the terminal can send a secondary cell measurement report to the network on the resources of the Configure Grant (CG). On the one hand, from the perspective of the terminal, the cell is not completely new to the terminal, and the terminal has recently measured the cell / frequency point, and one or more of the AGC, cell search, synchronization, and layer 1 measurement (layer 1 measurement includes layer 1 reference signal receiving power (L1 Reference Signal Receiving Power, L1-RSRP) and / or layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (L1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, L1-SINR)) of the secondary cell activation can be reduced. On the other hand, from the perspective of the network, the network also understands that the terminal has measured the cell based on the secondary cell measurement report sent by the terminal, so that the cell activation time can be reduced, that is, the time when the terminal cannot be scheduled will also be reduced. This solution can enable the terminal and the network to have a consistent understanding, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the secondary cell activation time.

[0161] Optionally, the first report includes at least one of the following:

[0162] Indicative information indicating that there are measurement results;

[0163] Indicates that the measurement result is valid;

[0164] Indicates that the measurement result is invalid;

[0165] Indicates that there are no measurements.

[0166] Specifically, considering the channel conditions, the terminal may not have measured the cell, or even if it has been measured, the signal quality is poor. By sending the first report to the terminal including the above information, the network can be assisted in understanding the terminal's condition. If the first report indicates that there is no measurement result or the measurement result is not valid, the cell detection, L1 measurement and other links in the secondary cell activation time cannot be omitted. In addition, the terminal may also send the first information to the network, and the first information includes beam-related information. Optionally, the first information includes factors for the terminal to perform layer 1 measurement and / or factors for performing layer 3 measurement, and the specific value is related to the terminal capability.

[0167] Optionally, the factor may also be described as a beam scanning factor. Compared with the beam scanning factor of 8 in the prior art, the beam factor included in the first information may be less than 8, because the scanning factor affects the measurement time (or is described as the measurement time is the product of the scanning factor and a certain time), and the first information may assist the network and the terminal to have a consistent understanding, that is, the terminal may complete the beam scanning faster, so that the time for related links of secondary cell activation (such as L3 measurement or described as cell search), layer 1 measurement, etc. may be reduced, thereby achieving a reduction in the activation time of the FR2 secondary cell.

[0168] In one implementation mode, optionally, the terminal may also determine a first time related to cell activation, the first time including at least the cell activation time (the cell activation time may also be described as a cell activation delay). Compared with the prior art, the first time is shorter, thereby reducing the cell activation time.

[0169] In one implementation mode, optionally, when the terminal does not send the first report or the first information, the first time can be determined by information predefined by the protocol (for example, a receiving beam scanning factor), and the predefined information at least includes a smaller factor (the value of the factor is less than 8), thereby reducing the cell activation time.

[0170] In one implementation mode, optionally, the terminal sends first information to the network, and the first information at least includes received beam scanning information, such as a beam scanning factor. By reporting a smaller beam scanning factor supported by the first information (for example, the value of the factor is less than 8), the cell activation time is reduced.

[0171] Optionally, the cell activation time may be reduced by reducing the steps of the cell activation time, such as reducing the processing time of one of the processing steps in the cell activation process, or setting the processing time to 0, etc., to achieve the reduction of the cell activation time.

[0172] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present invention, for the first solution: after the cell activation command, a first report is sent to the network; for the second solution, first information related to the beam is sent to the network; and for the third solution, a first time related to the cell activation is determined. One of the three solutions can be executed, or any two or three can be executed in combination. Among them, the role of sending the first report is to enable at least part of the links in the secondary cell activation time to be omitted, the role of sending the first information is to reduce the time of the links involving beam scanning, and the role of determining the first time is to determine the first time based on the enhanced schemes such as the omission of some links brought about by sending the first report, the smaller beam scanning factor brought about by sending the first information, and the pre-defined method of the protocol, and the first time at least includes the cell activation time (the cell activation time can also be described as the cell activation delay). Compared with the prior art, the first time is shorter, thereby reducing the cell activation time.

[0173] Therefore, the above three methods can all reduce the activation time of the FR2 secondary cell (including the FR2 unknown secondary cell).

[0174] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the measurement report mentioned is also described as any one of a measurement result, a layer 3 (L3) measurement result, and a layer 3 measurement report.

[0175] Optionally, the secondary cell mentioned includes an unknown secondary cell, and the unknown secondary cell includes an unknown secondary cell in frequency range 2 (Frequency Range 2, FR2) and an unknown secondary cell in frequency range 1 (Frequency Range 1, FR1). An unknown secondary cell generally means that the target secondary cell is unknown.

[0176] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the first report includes one or more of a measurement result, a beam index and a cell index.

[0177] Optionally, the measurement results include one or more of synchronization signal reference signal received power (SynchronizationSignal Reference Signal Received Power, SS-RSRP), synchronization signal reference signal received quality (SSreference signal received quality, SS-RSRQ), SS signal to interference plus noise ratio SS-SINR, channel state information reference signal received power (Channel State Information-Reference Signal ReceivedPower, CSI-RSRP), channel state information reference signal received quality CSI-RSRQ, CSI signal to interference plus noise ratio CSI-SINR, L1-RSRP and L1-SINR.

[0178] Optionally, the beam index includes one or more of a measurement synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB) index and a CSI-RS index.

[0179] For example, the first report sent by the terminal to the network includes an SSB index, indicating that the terminal has measured the SSB corresponding to the SSB index; and includes layer 3 measurement information, indicating the measurement result information measured by the terminal for the SSB corresponding to the SSB index.

[0180] Optionally, the cell index may also be described as a secondary cell index or SCellIndex.

[0181] In one implementation of the present invention, optionally, the measurement result is valid if the following conditions are met:

[0182] Deactivate the measurement period of the cell, and / or

[0183] Accuracy requirements.

[0184] The measurement cycle may also be described as measurement time or measurement period.

[0185] Optionally, when the measurement result is valid, that is, the measurement period of the deactivated cell is met, and / or the accuracy requirement is met, the terminal sends the first report to the network, which can improve the quality of the measurement result in the first report and facilitate the network to apply the measurement result. If the measurement result does not meet the validity condition, the terminal does not report the measurement result. In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the method also includes:

[0186] receiving second information sent by the network;

[0187] The second information is used to instruct the terminal to send the first report after receiving the cell activation command; or, the second information is used to instruct the terminal not to send the first report after receiving the cell activation command; or, the second information is used to trigger the terminal to send the first report.

[0188] With this implementation, second information is sent to the terminal through the network to indicate whether the terminal needs to send a first report after receiving a cell activation command, or the second information is used to trigger the terminal to send the first report, so that after receiving the cell activation command sent by the network, the terminal can send a measurement report to the network if measurement information of the target cell or target frequency is currently stored based on the second information. In this way, through information interaction between the network and the terminal, the terminal reports to the network the measurement information of the target cell or target frequency that has been measured, thereby avoiding re-execution of operations such as AGC, synchronization and layer 1 measurement in the secondary cell activation process, thereby achieving the effect of reducing latency.

[0189] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, receiving the second information sent by the network includes one of the following:

[0190] receiving a cell activation command sent by a network, where the cell activation command is the second information;

[0191] receiving a cell activation command sent by a network, where the cell activation command includes the second information;

[0192] A first command is received that is sent by the network before or after sending a cell activation command, where the first command includes the second information.

[0193] Optionally, the first command includes one or more of a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) instruction, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and a downlink control information (DCI) signaling.

[0194] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, when the second information indicates that the terminal needs to send a first report, after the terminal receives the cell activation command sent by the network, it measures the activated secondary cell within a preset time range, or the terminal stores the measurement results of the activated secondary cell, and then sends a measurement report to the network.

[0195] In one implementation manner, optionally, when a cell activation command is the second information, the cell activation command is used to indicate that the terminal needs to send a measurement report after receiving the cell activation command.

[0196] In this implementation, the second information is integrated into the cell activation command and sent to the terminal in an implicit manner. Specifically, the cell activation command sent by the network to the terminal is implicitly indicated as the second information. Optionally, the cell activation command is used to indicate that the terminal needs to send a measurement report after receiving the cell activation command. In this implementation, after receiving the cell activation command, if the terminal has measured the target cell or target frequency within a preset time, the terminal sends a measurement report to the network.

[0197] In one embodiment, optionally, when the cell activation command includes the second information, a preset bit in the cell activation command is used to indicate the second information, and when the second information is a first value, it is used to indicate that the terminal needs to send the first report; and / or when the second information is a second value, it is used to indicate that the terminal does not need to send the first report.

[0198] In this implementation, the second information is integrated into the cell activation command and sent to the terminal in an explicit manner. Specifically, the cell activation command sent by the network to the terminal includes the second information, and the second information is used to indicate whether the terminal needs to send a measurement report.

[0199] Optionally, the cell activation command is a MAC CE instruction. Optionally, the preset bit in the cell activation command is used to indicate the second information, and when the second information is a first value, it is used to indicate that the terminal needs to send a measurement report; when the second information is a second value, it is used to indicate that the terminal does not need to send a measurement report. For example, the preset bit is 1 bit. In the cell activation command, the preset bit is used to indicate to the terminal whether a measurement report needs to be sent, that is, the preset bit is used to indicate to the terminal whether to send a measurement report or not. If the preset bit is 1, it is used to indicate that the terminal needs to send a measurement report, and if the preset bit is 0, it is used to indicate that the terminal does not need to send a measurement report.

[0200] Using this implementation mode, the terminal sends the second information sent by the network through the cell activation command (MAC CE instruction). When the second information indicates that the terminal needs to send a measurement report, all secondary cells corresponding to the cell activation command need to send measurement reports, that is, the terminal needs to send measurement reports to the activated secondary cells indicated in the cell activation command.

[0201] In another embodiment, optionally, when the cell activation command includes the second information, N bits in the cell activation command are used to indicate the second information, wherein each bit corresponds to a cell index, and is used to indicate whether the cell corresponding to the cell index needs to send the first report; wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0202] Specifically, the activated secondary cells indicated in the cell activation command can be sorted according to a preset order, such as sorted from large to small according to the secondary cell index, or sorted from small to large according to the secondary cell index, and each bit of the N bits corresponding to the second information corresponds to a secondary cell index, which is used to indicate whether the secondary cell corresponding to the secondary cell index needs to send a measurement report. For example, when one of the bits is a first value, it is used to indicate that the terminal needs to send a measurement report to the network device for the secondary cell corresponding to the bit; when the bit is a second value, it is used to indicate that the terminal does not need to send a measurement report to the network device for the secondary cell corresponding to the bit.

[0203] In another implementation mode, the cell activation command sent by the network device to the terminal includes second information, and the second information is used to display whether the terminal needs to send a measurement report. When the cell activation command includes the second information, the cell activation command includes a cell index and a preset bit corresponding to the cell index, and the preset bit is used to indicate the second information, and the second information is used to indicate whether the cell corresponding to the cell index needs to send the first report or does not need to send the first report.

[0204] Using this indication method, the secondary cell index of each secondary cell activated in the cell activation command corresponds to a preset bit respectively. When the preset bit is a first value, it is used to indicate that the terminal needs to send a measurement report to the network device for the secondary cell; when the preset bit is a second value, it is used to indicate that the terminal does not need to send a measurement report to the network device for the secondary cell.

[0205] In another embodiment, optionally, when the first command includes the second information, the second information includes a cell index for sending the first report and / or first report sending indication information.

[0206] The first command includes one or more of a MAC CE instruction, an RRC signaling, and a DCI signaling.

[0207] When the first command includes a MAC CE instruction, optionally, the MAC CE instruction is an instruction different from the cell activation command and is dedicated to sending the second information. In addition, in this implementation, the second information in the MAC CE instruction is used to instruct the terminal to send a measurement report, or to instruct the terminal not to send a measurement report.

[0208] Optionally, the MAC CE instruction for sending the second information is sent after sending the cell activation command, so that after receiving the cell activation command, the terminal determines whether to send a measurement report to the network device according to the received MAC CE instruction.

[0209] Optionally, the MAC CE instruction for sending the second information is sent before sending the cell activation command, so that the terminal obtains the second information before receiving the cell activation command, and can send a measurement report to the network device after receiving the cell activation command. Compared with obtaining the second information after receiving the cell activation command, this can more effectively reduce the cell activation delay.

[0210] Optionally, in this implementation, the second information includes the secondary cell index for which a measurement report needs to be sent and / or measurement report sending indication information, so that the measurement report sending indication information indicates whether the terminal needs to send a measurement report, and the secondary cell index indicates whether the secondary cell corresponding to the secondary cell index needs to send a measurement report.

[0211] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the method further includes:

[0212] Sending third information and / or fourth information to the network; wherein the third information includes one or more of the following:

[0213] The terminal supports a reduction in activation time of a secondary cell;

[0214] The terminal performs a reduction in activation time of a secondary cell;

[0215] The fourth information includes one or more of the following:

[0216] Information indicating that the terminal has measurement results;

[0217] Cell ID.

[0218] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the mentioned reduction of the secondary cell activation time may also be described as enhancement of the secondary cell activation time.

[0219] By sending the third information to the network, the terminal notifies the network that it can support reducing the cell activation delay, or the terminal executes reducing the cell activation delay, that is, the terminal no longer re-performs operations such as AGG, synchronization, and L1 measurement required for cell activation.

[0220] In another implementation manner, optionally, the third information may also inform the network that the cell activation delay cannot be reduced, that is, the terminal needs to perform operations such as AGG, synchronization, and L1 measurement according to the normal cell activation process.

[0221] It should be noted that the cell activation process affects network scheduling, and whether the terminal can send a measurement report means whether the terminal can reduce the activation delay of the secondary cell. The network's knowledge of whether the terminal can reduce the cell activation delay helps the network to schedule. Whether the terminal can send a measurement report is related to whether the terminal supports secondary cell activation enhancement, whether the cell is measured in the near future (for example, within 5 seconds) (that is, whether there is a measurement result), etc. If the terminal sends a measurement report within a period of time (for example, 5 seconds), the cell is generally understood to be known, otherwise, the cell is considered unknown.

[0222] In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal sends fourth information to the network to indicate that the terminal stores measurement information of the target cell corresponding to the cell identifier. Optionally, the cell identifier included in the fourth information may be a cell index, and the information indicating that the terminal has a measurement result indicates that the terminal has a measurement result corresponding to the cell index.

[0223] In another implementation manner, optionally, the fourth information may also indicate that the terminal does not store the measurement information of the target cell. For example, the fourth information includes the cell index of the target cell and indication information corresponding to the cell index that does not include measurement information.

[0224] Since the cell activation process affects network scheduling, whether the terminal can send a measurement report means whether the terminal can reduce the cell activation delay. In this way, the network device can help network scheduling by knowing whether the terminal can reduce the cell activation delay.

[0225] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, sending a first report to the network includes:

[0226] Sending a first report to the network when a first condition is met; the first condition includes one or more of the following:

[0227] measurements performed within a first time range before receiving a cell activation command;

[0228] measurements performed within a second time range after receiving a cell activation command;

[0229] Measurements performed within a third time range before sending a channel state information CSI report;

[0230] The measurement meets the accuracy requirements;

[0231] The measurement satisfies the measurement period.

[0232] Specifically, the terminal stores the measurement result of the target cell or the target frequency point, so the validity of the measurement result needs to be determined before sending the measurement report. Specifically, if the measurement result is obtained within a first time range before the cell activation command and / or within a second time range after the cell activation command and / or within a third time range before reporting the CSI report, it is determined that the measurement information for the measurement is valid, and the step of sending the measurement report to the network device is performed.

[0233] Optionally, the first time range, the second time range and the third time range may be configured by the network or may be predefined by a protocol.

[0234] This implementation method can determine whether the measurement result is valid and ensure that the measurement result in the first report is valid. If the measurement result stored by the terminal is a measurement result from a long time ago, considering the channel changes, it is likely that the measurement result has expired and cannot represent the actual channel conditions. The terminal needs to re-perform cell search, measurement and other processes, that is, these links cannot be omitted during the secondary cell activation process. If the measurement result is not valid, the terminal does not need to send the first report. If it is a measurement result of a recent measurement, then the validity can be ensured, and the cell search, measurement and other links can be omitted during the secondary cell activation process.

[0235] Optionally, when it is determined that the measurement information for measurement is invalid according to the above method, the terminal may send fifth information to the network device to report to the network device that the measurement result is not reported, that is, the cell activation delay reduction process is not performed; or, send sixth information to the network device to indicate to the network device that the terminal does not store the measurement information of the target cell or target frequency. Optionally, the sent sixth information includes an identifier of the target cell or target frequency for which there is no measurement information.

[0236] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the first information includes one or more of the following information:

[0237] The terminal supports factors less than 8;

[0238] The terminal supports a factor less than 8 for cell detection;

[0239] The terminal supports a factor less than 8 for L1 measurements;

[0240] A first value, which is a value of a factor used for cell detection;

[0241] The second value is the value of the factor used for L1 measurement.

[0242] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, "the terminal supports a factor less than 8" can also be described as the terminal supports a beam scanning factor less than 8, including a FR2 unknown secondary cell scenario, and the terminal supports a beam scanning factor less than 8. "The terminal supports a factor less than 8 for cell detection" can also be described as the terminal supports a beam scanning factor less than 8 for cell detection (or described as cell search, or described as PSS / SSS detection), including a FR2 unknown secondary cell scenario, and the terminal supports a beam scanning factor less than 8 for cell detection. "The terminal supports a factor less than 8 for L1 measurement" can also be described as the terminal supports a beam scanning factor less than 8 for L1 measurement, including a FR2 unknown secondary cell scenario, and the terminal supports a beam scanning factor less than 8 for L1 measurement. The first value can be understood as a beam scanning factor for cell detection in a FR2 unknown secondary cell scenario. The second value can be understood as a beam scanning factor for L1 measurement in a FR2 unknown secondary cell scenario.

[0243] Optionally, the set of first values ​​is {1, 2, 4, 6}, where "the first value is the value of the factor used for cell detection" can be understood as SMTC multiplied by the first value or SSB period multiplied by the first value.

[0244] Optionally, the set of second values ​​is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, where “the second value is the value of the factor used for L1 measurement” can be understood as the L1-RSRP measurement time at least includes the SSB period multiplied by the second value or the CSI-RS period multiplied by the second value.

[0245] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0246] The secondary cell activation time of the terminal at least includes: 3ms and / or the time between the activation command and the TCI command.

[0247] It should be noted that after the secondary cell activation is enhanced, the reduced cell activation delay includes MAC CE time (or described as MAC CE decoding / processing time), delay in sending measurement report, L1 measurement delay (L1-RSRP, L1-SINR), margin (for example, the time between the cell activation command and the TCI command, or the time between sending the measurement report and the TCI command). The TCI command is optionally a TCI activation command or described as a TCI configuration command. That is, cell detection, L1 measurement and other links can be omitted.

[0248] Optionally, the cell activation delay includes one of the following:

[0249] The cell activation delay at least includes the MAC CE feedback time (e.g. 3ms);

[0250] The cell activation delay includes at least the AGC time (AGC time can be described as TFirstSSB_MAX+15*TSMTC_MAX, where TFirstSSB_MAX is the time of the first complete SSB burst indicated by SMTC, and TSMTC_MAX is the longer SMTC period between the activated serving cell and the secondary cell being activated);

[0251] The cell activation delay includes at least 3ms + the time between the activation command and the TCI command;

[0252] The cell activation delay includes at least 3ms + the time between the activation command and the TCI command + the L1 measurement time;

[0253] The cell activation delay includes at least 3ms + the delay of sending the measurement report + the time between the activation command and the TCI command;

[0254] The cell activation delay at least includes 3ms+delay for sending measurement report+time between activation command and TCI command+L1 measurement time. Optionally, the method further includes:

[0255] The secondary cell activation time (also described as secondary cell activation delay) of the terminal includes at least one of the following:

[0256] The factor, the first value or the second value multiplied by a synchronization signal physical broadcast channel (SS / PBCH) block measurement timing configuration (SSB-based Measurement Timing configuration, SMTC);

[0257] The factor, the first value or the second value multiplied by the period of the synchronization signal physical broadcast channel SS / PBCH block SSB;

[0258] The factor, the first value or the second value is multiplied by N; wherein the value of N is 1 or 3.

[0259] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the synchronization signal physical broadcast channel SS / PBCH block can also be described as a synchronization signal block SSB.

[0260] Optionally, the SMTC includes the SMTC period of the secondary cell being activated.

[0261] In one embodiment, since the period of SSB is usually not greater than SMTC, the secondary cell activation time of the terminal is the factor, the first value or the second value multiplied by the period of the synchronization signal physical broadcast channel SS / PBCH block SSB, compared with the secondary cell activation time of the terminal being the factor, the first value or the second value multiplied by SMTC, the secondary cell activation time can be further reduced. Optionally, the factors mentioned include but are not limited to only including beam scanning factors. Among them, the first factor and the second factor include one or more of the beam scanning factors supported by the terminal, the beam scanning factors supported for cell detection and / or the beam scanning factors supported for L1 measurement.

[0262] Specifically, since the beam scanning factor affects the measurement time (the measurement time is the product of the scanning factor and a certain time), the first information can assist the network and the terminal to have a consistent understanding, that is, the terminal can complete the beam scanning faster, and the time of related links (such as L3 measurement or described as cell search, or described as cell detection), layer 1 measurement, etc. can be reduced, thereby realizing the FR2 secondary cell activation time.

[0263] Optionally, both the first value and the second value are less than 8. Specifically, if the beam scanning factor adopted by the terminal in the AGC link is 8, it means that the terminal has obtained certain beam information, then in the subsequent cell detection and L1 measurement links, corresponding beam scanning simplification (or described as enhancement) can be performed. The specific simplification depends on the terminal implementation, so the terminal needs to report the first value and the second value.

[0264] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, sending a first report to the network includes:

[0265] The terminal sends a first report to the network within a first time after receiving the cell activation command; or,

[0266] The terminal sends a first report to the network within a second time after receiving the second information.

[0267] The terminal does not send the first report to the network after the first time has passed after receiving the cell activation command; and does not send the first report to the network after the second time has passed after receiving the second information. In this way, the terminal can send the first report as soon as possible after receiving the secondary cell activation command. In addition, the network can also determine how to allocate uplink resources for the terminal to send the report. If the first report is not sent, the cell detection, L1 measurement and other links in the secondary cell activation time cannot be omitted.

[0268] In addition, with this implementation, a first report is sent to the network within the first time after receiving the cell activation command, or a first report is sent to the network within the second time after receiving the second information. By introducing the first time and the second time, the terminal can avoid indefinitely searching for resources for sending the first report. Optionally, if the terminal does not find resources within the first time or the second time, the terminal may not send the first report. The values ​​of the first time and the second time can be configured by the network or predefined in the protocol. The length of the first time and the second time includes at least one of the HARQ time, the MAC CE processing time (also described as 3ms), and the time margin. In an embodiment of the present invention, in one implementation, when the terminal determines the first time, the determined first time includes at least one of the following:

[0269] 3ms;

[0270] 6ms;

[0271] The time between the activation command and the transmission configuration indication TCI command;

[0272] SMTC multiplied by A, where A is an integer less than 8;

[0273] The SSB period is multiplied by B, where B is an integer less than 8;

[0274] C times N times SMTC;

[0275] C times N times the SSB period;

[0276] C times N times the CSI-RS period;

[0277] Wherein, the value of N is 1 or 3, and C is an integer less than 8.

[0278] In this implementation, optionally, A, B and C can be one or more of the following:

[0279] The terminal supports factors less than 8;

[0280] The terminal supports a factor less than 8 for cell detection;

[0281] The terminal supports a factor less than 8 for L1 measurements;

[0282] A first value, which is a value of a factor used for cell detection;

[0283] The second value is the value of the factor used for L1 measurement.

[0284] Compared with the prior art, this implementation method can reduce the first time determined according to the pre-defined protocol, that is, the time related to cell activation is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the processing time of one of the processing processes in the cell activation process, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the cell activation time. By adopting the cell activation method described in the embodiment of the present invention, after the terminal receives the second information sent by the network, when the second information indicates that the terminal needs to send a measurement report, after receiving the cell activation command sent by the network, the terminal sends the measurement report to the network, and according to the cell activation command, the terminal no longer re-performs the AGG, synchronization, L1 measurement and other operations required for cell activation, and only needs to perform HARQ feedback and CSI report reporting, so that the cell activation delay can only include the time for HARQ feedback (such as 3ms), thereby greatly reducing the cell activation delay; in addition, for FR2, the cell activation delay is the sum of the time for HARQ feedback (such as 3ms) and the time between the cell activation command sent by the network and the transmission configuration indication (Transmission Configurationin Indicator, TCI) command of the beam. Since it is not necessary to include the time for AGG, synchronization, and L1 measurement, the effect of greatly reducing the cell activation delay can also be achieved.

[0285] One embodiment of the present invention further provides a transmission method, which is executed by a network device, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0286] S210, receiving a first report sent by a terminal after a cell activation command and / or receiving first information sent by a terminal; wherein the first information is related to a beam.

[0287] By adopting the transmission method described in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal sends a first report and / or first information to the network after the cell activation command, and indicates to the network through the first report that the terminal has recently measured the corresponding cell / frequency point, so as to reduce the link of activating the secondary cell and achieve the effect of reducing the delay; by indicating the first information related to the beam to the network through the first information, the network and the terminal can have a consistent understanding of the beam scanning, so that the terminal can complete the beam scanning faster, thereby reducing the link of activating the secondary cell and achieving the effect of reducing the delay.
