[0080] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0081] For the measurements reported by the terminal, RSRP and RSRQ are typically used by the base station to configure cell handover and cell reselection for the terminal, while SINR is mainly used by the operator for network planning and optimization.

[0082] In 4G systems, measurements such as RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR can be taken based on the Common Reference Signal (CRS) or the Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and subsequently reported to the base station. Similar to 4G systems, in 5G systems, these measurements can be taken based on the SSB or the CSI-RS and subsequently reported to the base station.

[0083] Depending on the measurement resources available, the 5G system supports the measurement and reporting of the quantities shown in Table 1.

[0084] RSRP RSRQ SINR SS / PBCH block SS-RSRP SS-RSRQ SS-SINR CSI-RS CSI-RSRP CSI-RSRQ CSI-SINR

[0085] Table 1

[0086] Of the aforementioned measurements, in practical systems, measurements based on SSB have seen faster commercialization, while measurements based on CSI-RS have progressed more slowly. This is primarily because terminals must measure RSRP and RSRQ in idle state for cell reselection, and to measure and store data in idle state to facilitate minimized drive testing (MDT). Since CSI-RS configuration uses RRC signaling, and there is no RRC connection in idle state, only SS / PBCH block-based measurements can be performed in idle state. Therefore, the overall implementation and commercialization of RRM measurements based on SSB have been faster.

[0087] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the SSB structure consists of three parts: PSS, SSS, and PBCH. The PBCH further comprises two parts: PBCH DMRS and PBCH payload.

[0088] SS-RSRP is defined as the signal strength based on SSS. More specifically, SS-RSRP is defined as the linear average of the power contribution on the resource elements (REs) carrying SSS. However, since SSS is a reference signal based on sequence correlation to measure signal strength, unlike a reference signal based on which power can be directly measured on REs such as CSI-RS in the 4G system, it is difficult for a terminal to directly reuse the calculation method of RSRP in the 4G system to measure RSRP based on SSS. If signal strength measurement can only be performed based on SSS, it can cause a 5G terminal to be unable to be commercially used in time. Therefore, in the related art, it is stipulated that, in addition to SSS, a terminal can also use PBCH DMRS to measure SS-RSRP, that is, SS-RSRP can also be measured based on SSS and PBCH DMRS (also can be understood as signal strength based on SSS and PBCH DMRS), that is, the measurement resource of SS-RSRP can be SSS or SSS+PBCH DMRS.

[0089] SS-RSRQ is defined as the ratio of RSRP to received signal strength indication (RSSI) (of course, multiplied by the number of frequency domain resource blocks). RSSI is the total received power on one or more OFDM symbols, and therefore, for RSSI, whether it is a sequence-based reference signal (such as SSS) or an RE-based reference signal (such as PBCH DMRS), it can be simply measured as the total power in a certain time length. Since RSSI has only one measurement resource, similarly to SS-RSRP, SS-RSRQ also has only two options for measurement resources, that is, based on SSS or SSS+PBCH DMRS, that is, the measurement resource of SS-RSRQ can be SSS or SSS+PBCH DMRS.

[0090] SS-SINR is defined as the linear average of the power contribution on the REs carrying SSS divided by the linear average of the noise and interference power on the REs carrying SSS. Similarly to SS-RSRQ, since SSS is a reference signal based on sequence correlation for detection, unlike the detection method of a reference signal based directly on REs in the 4G system, if SS-SINR is directly calculated using SSS, the calculation method of SINR in the 4G system cannot be directly reused, which can delay the time point of commercial use of a 5G terminal. Therefore, similarly to SS-RSRP, SS-SINR can be measured based on SSS or based on SSS+PBCH DMRS.

[0091] In summary, SS-RSRP, SS-RSRQ and SS-SINR have two possible measurement resources, one is SSS, and the other is SSS+PBCH DMRS. Which measurement resource is used is determined by the terminal implementation, and the related technology does not make detailed provisions.

[0092] In this case, the inventors found during the implementation of the present application that:

[0093] In the current 5G network scale test, the SS-SINR values measured by terminals of different manufacturers have a large deviation, ranging from 4dB to 10dB, which hinders the subsequent network planning and optimization. After research, it was found that the SS-SINR with a large deviation uses different measurement resources, i.e., the SS-SINR based on SSS and the SS-SINR based on SSS+PBCH DMRS have a large deviation, so it is difficult to perform subsequent network planning and optimization based on the SS-SINR reported by the terminal.

[0094] Similarly, there are similar problems in the measurement of SS-RSRP and SS-RSRQ, i.e., the SS-RSRP based on SSS and the SS-RSRP based on SSS+PBCH have a large deviation, and the SS-RSRQ based on SSS and the SS-RSRQ based on SSS+PBCH have a large deviation. For a given cell handover threshold (or cell reselection threshold), under the same channel conditions, some terminals perform cell handover (or cell reselection), while some terminals do not perform cell handover (or cell reselection). Due to the inconsistent behavior of the terminals, it is difficult for the base station to accurately optimize the handover threshold and the reselection threshold, thereby reducing the overall performance of the network.

[0095] In summary, in the related art, the values of the measurement quantities obtained by different measurement resources differ greatly. In this case, if the base station does not know what resource the terminal is based on for measurement, the base station side can only mix the reported measurement quantities based on different resources. Due to the different values of the measurement quantities reported by the terminal under the same channel conditions, i.e., the inconsistent behavior of the terminal, the base station cannot use the RSRP and RSRQ reported by the terminal to accurately optimize the cell handover and reselection. Similarly, the operator cannot use the SINR reported by the terminal to accurately optimize the network planning. That is, it is difficult to accurately perform network planning and optimization, perform accurate cell reselection or cell handover, etc. by using the reported measurement quantities.

[0096] The inventors also found the following two intuitive solutions during the implementation of the present application:

[0097] The first method is to stipulate that the measurement quantity can only use one measurement resource, for example, only SSS+PBCH DMRS can be used for measurement. However, some chip manufacturers have implemented an algorithm for calculating RRM measurement based on SSS in the terminal chip. If the measurement based on SSS+PBCH DMRS is required, it is possible that the terminal of these chip manufacturers cannot be put into commercial use in time.

[0098] The second method is to stipulate that the measurement quantity based on SSS and the measurement quantity based on SSS+PBCH DMRS should report the same (similar) value under the same channel condition, that is, the accuracy of the measurement quantity is uniformly required. However, since the algorithms for measurement based on the two measurement resources are quite different, the requirement that the error between the two must be less than a certain value will cause a persistent calibration process, and it is also possible to cause the terminal to be implemented slowly, that is, the commercial use of the terminal is slow.

[0099] Therefore, in various embodiments of the present application, the terminal reports the measurement resource used for RRM measurement, so that the network side can clearly know the measurement resource used by the terminal for measurement, thereby improving the performance of cell switching or reselection and network planning and optimization.

[0100] The information transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied to a terminal and includes the following steps.

[0101] The type of the measurement quantity is reported to the network side, and the reported type represents the measurement resource of the measurement quantity.

[0102] The measurement quantity is used for at least one of the following:

[0103] RRM;

[0104] Radio link failure process;

[0105] Minimization of drive test.

[0106] Here, in actual application, when the measurement quantity is used in the radio link failure process, when the number of times that the measurement quantity is lower than the corresponding threshold is more than the threshold value (timer N310) configured by the base station, the physical layer of the terminal reports the event to the high layer of the terminal, and thereafter the terminal continuously monitors the channel quality according to the configured time (timer T310) of the base station. If the channel quality is restored within the configured time, the T310 timer is canceled; otherwise, the link failure is declared, and the process of reinitiating cell search and access is started.

[0107] In an embodiment, the measurement quantity includes at least one of the following:

[0108] RSRP;

[0109] RSRQ;

[0110] SINR.

[0111] In practical applications, the type of measurement can be reported to the network side via RRC signaling.

[0112] Here, when the type of measurement is reported to the network side via RRC signaling, it indicates that the terminal is in connected state and has established an RRC connection with the base station.

[0113] In practical applications, to ensure the network side knows the type of the measurement as early as possible, the type of the measurement can be reported even when the terminal is in an idle state. Furthermore, since there is no RRC signaling in the idle state, the type of the measurement can be reported based on the signaling during the initial access process (i.e., the signaling during the random access procedure). The uplink initial access signaling includes MSG1 and MSG3. Because MSG1 (mainly used to send the random access preamble to the network side) has a very small capacity, MSG3 can be used to report the type of the measurement to the network side.

[0114] Based on this, in one embodiment, the type of measurement is reported to the network side via MSG3.

[0115] When the measurement is based on SSB, the type of measurement reported to the network side indicates that the measurement resource is SSS or SSS+PBCH DMRS.

[0116] Based on this, in one embodiment, the measurement resources for the reported type characterization include at least one of the following:

[0117] The measurement is based on the SSS measurement in the SSB;

[0118] The measurements are based on SSS in SSB and PBCH DMRS in SSB.

[0119] In one embodiment, the type of measurement reported to the network side includes at least one of the following:

[0120] Report the measurement to the network side, and the type of measurement reported to the network side;

[0121] Report the types of locally stored measurements to the network side;

[0122] The terminal reports its own capabilities to the network side; the reported capabilities characterize the types of measurements supported by the terminal.

[0123] This includes reporting the measurement quantity to the network side and reporting the type of the measurement quantity to the network side. In other words, while reporting the measurement quantity, the terminal also reports the type of the measurement quantity to the network side (this can be done through RRC signaling).

[0124] In actual application, the local storage of the measurement quantity is for the terminal to use in the idle state for minimization of drive test. The terminal can report the type of the local storage of the measurement quantity to the network side through MSG3.

[0125] Meanwhile, in order to make the terminal know the type of the local storage of the measurement quantity, the type of the corresponding measurement quantity can be added when the measurement quantity is stored.

[0126] Based on this, in an embodiment, before the type of the local storage of the measurement quantity is reported to the network side, the method further comprises:

[0127] When the measurement quantity is stored, the corresponding type identifier is set for the measurement quantity.

[0128] In actual application, the terminal can report the type of the measurement quantity at the same time when the terminal reports its own capability, which is equivalent to reporting the type of the measurement quantity to the network side.

[0129] In actual application, in order to make the terminal perform cell reselection or cell switching at the right time according to the type of the measurement quantity supported by the terminal, the network side can broadcast the cell switching threshold and the cell reselection threshold corresponding to different types of measurement quantities to the terminal.

[0130] Based on this, in an embodiment, the method can further comprise:

[0131] Receiving the cell switching threshold and / or the cell reselection threshold corresponding to different types of measurement quantities broadcast by the network side.

[0132] Correspondingly, the embodiment of the application further provides an information transmission method applied to a network device, the method comprising:

[0133] Receiving the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal; the reported type representing the measurement resource of the measurement quantity.

[0134] In actual application, the network device can be a base station, such as gNB in the 5G system.

[0135] After the network device receives the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal, the network device can perform network optimization according to the measurement quantity of a certain type reported by each terminal, such as performing optimization configuration of cell switching and cell reselection by using RSRP and RSRQ of a certain type, performing network planning and optimization by using SINR of a certain type, and the like.

[0136] In an embodiment, the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal is received through one of the following signaling:

[0137] RRC signaling;

[0138] MSG3.

[0139] Specifically, when the terminal reports the type of the measurement quantity through RRC signaling, the network device receives the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal through RRC signaling; when the terminal reports the type of the measurement quantity through MSG3 signaling, the network device receives the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal through MSG3 signaling.

[0140] In actual application, the RRC signaling can be RRC connection reconfiguration signaling or the like.

[0141] In an embodiment, the receiving the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal comprises at least one of the following:

[0142] receiving the measurement quantity reported by the terminal and receiving the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal;

[0143] receiving the type of the measurement quantity stored locally and reported by the terminal;

[0144] receiving the capability reported by the terminal; the reported capability represents the type of the measurement quantity supported by the terminal.

[0145] In an embodiment, the method can further comprise:

[0146] broadcasting different cell switching thresholds and / or cell reselection thresholds corresponding to different types of measurement quantities.

[0147] An embodiment of the present application provides an information transmission method, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the method comprises: Figure 2

[0148] Step 201: a terminal reports a type of a measurement quantity to a network side;

[0149] Here, the reported type represents measurement resources of the measurement quantity.

[0150] Step 202: a network device receives the type of the measurement quantity reported by the terminal.

[0151] It should be noted that the specific processing procedures of the terminal and the network device have been described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0152] The information transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the terminal reports the type of the measurement quantity to the network side; the reported type represents the measurement resources of the measurement quantity, so that the network side can clearly know the measurement resources used by the terminal for measurement, thereby being able to select a certain type of measurement quantity reported by each terminal for network optimization, and further improving the performance of cell switching or cell switching or network regulation and optimization.

[0153] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with application examples.

[0154] ​In the application embodiment, the measurement quantity is measured based on SSB. The measurement quantity can include at least one of the following:

[0155] RSRP;

[0156] RSRQ;

[0157] SINR.

[0158] The measurement resource of the measurement quantity can be SSS in SSB, or SSS and PBCH DMRS in SSB.

[0159] The terminal reports (or can be understood as informs) the network side that the measurement quantity is of the first type or of the second type.

[0160] The first type corresponds to SSS-based measurement, that is, the measurement resource is SSB; the second type corresponds to SSS+PBCH DMRS-based measurement, that is, the measurement resource is SSS+PBCH DMRS.

[0161] When the terminal is in an idle state, the terminal can report the type of the measurement quantity to the network side through MSG3; when the terminal is in a connected state, the terminal can report the type of the measurement quantity to the network side through RRC signaling.

[0162] On the other hand, the measurement quantity can be locally stored or not. When the measurement quantity is a locally stored measurement quantity, the terminal adds an identifier indicating that the measurement quantity is of the first type or of the second type when storing the measurement quantity. When the measurement quantity is not a locally stored measurement quantity, the terminal informs the network side that the reported measurement quantity is of the first type or of the second type.

[0163] The locally stored measurement quantity is used for MDT, that is, the storage process is performed for the terminal to perform MDT in an idle state.

[0164] In a third aspect, two terminal capabilities can be set, one of which corresponds to the first type of measurement, and the other of which corresponds to the second type of measurement. In actual application, the terminal naturally reports the measurement resource corresponding to the measurement quantity when reporting the terminal capability.

[0165] In addition, the base station can broadcast two sets of handover thresholds and cell reselection thresholds, one set of handover thresholds and cell reselection thresholds corresponding to the first type of measurement quantity, and the other set of handover thresholds and cell reselection thresholds corresponding to the second type of measurement quantity.

[0166] As long as the base station can distinguish the reported measurements into two categories, SSS-based and SSS+PBCH-based measurements, the base station can perform relevant network planning and optimization, cell handover, or cell reselection based on a certain type of measurement.

[0167] The solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention enables the network side to clearly know the measurement resources used by the terminal for measurement, thereby improving the performance of cell handover or cell reselection and network planning and optimization.

[0168] To implement the method of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention also provide an information transmission device, which is installed on a terminal, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0169] The reporting unit 31 is used to report the type of the measurement quantity to the network side; the reported type represents the measurement resource of the measurement quantity.

[0176] The terminal reports its own capabilities to the network side; the reported capabilities characterize the types of measurements supported by the terminal.

[0177] In practical applications, to determine the type of locally stored measurement, the corresponding measurement type can be added when storing the measurement.

[0178] Based on this, in one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the device may further include: a setting unit 32, used for:

[0179] When storing measurements, set the corresponding type identifier for the measurements.

[0180] In practical applications, in order to enable the terminal to perform cell reselection or cell handover at the appropriate time based on the types of measurements it supports, the network side can broadcast cell handover thresholds and cell reselection thresholds corresponding to different types of measurements to the terminal.

[0181] Based on this, in one embodiment, the device may further include:

[0182] The first receiving unit is used to receive cell handover thresholds and / or cell reselection thresholds corresponding to different measurement types broadcast by the network side.

[0183] In practical applications, the reporting unit 31 can be implemented by a processor in the information transmission device combined with a communication interface; the setting unit 32 can be implemented by a processor in the information transmission device; and the first receiving unit can be implemented by a communication interface in the information transmission device.

[0184] To implement the network device-side method of this embodiment of the invention, this embodiment also provides an information transmission device, which is installed on the network device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:
