[0085] For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand, the embodiments of the present disclosure enumerate a plurality of embodiments to clearly explain the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the plurality of embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone, or can be executed together with the method of other embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be executed alone or together with some methods in other related technologies; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make any limitation in this regard.

[0086] In order to better understand the technical solutions disclosed by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reporting manner of the beam management manner is described through an exemplary application scenario:

[0087] In an embodiment, the beam management manner supported by the terminal can be reported through the following information element (IE):

[0088] RF-Parameters :: = SEQUENCE { [[

[0090] supportedBandCombinationList-v1630 BandCombinationList-v1630 OPTIONAL,

[0091] ]],

[0092] }

[0093] / supportedBandCombinationList-v1630 / is the supported band combination list signaling; BandCombinationList-v1630 / is the band combination list signaling

[0094] BandCombinationList-v1630 ::= SEQUENCE (SIZE (1..maxBandComb)) OF BandCombination-v1630

[0095] / supportedBandCombinationList-v1630 / is the supported band combination list signaling

[0096] BandCombination-v1630 ::= SEQUENCE {

[0097] ca-ParametersNR-v1630 CA-ParametersNR-v1630 OPTIONAL,

[0098] }

[0099] / CA-ParametersNR-v1630 / is the new radio NR carrier aggregation parameter signaling

[0100] CA-ParametersNR-v1630 ::= SEQUENCE { -- R4 8-5: supported beam management type for inter-band CA

[0101] beamManagementType-r16 ENUMERATED {ibm, cbm} OPTIONAL,

[0102] }.

[0103] / CA-ParametersNR-v1630 / is the new radio NR carrier aggregation parameter signaling; beamManagementType-r16 / is the beam management type signaling / .

[0104] In one embodiment, the terminal can support the beam management mode of CBM and IBM at the same time, and how to configure the beam management mode depends on the scheduling of the network. However, only IBM or CBM supported by the terminal can be reported through the IE beamManagementType-r16, and the terminal can not report that it can support IBM and CBM at the same time. Moreover, the IE beamManagementType-r16 does not reserve corresponding extension bits, so that the network cannot configure the corresponding beam management mode for the terminal according to the scheduling requirement.

[0105] As shown in Figure 2 The embodiment provides a reporting method of beam management capability information, wherein the method is executed by a terminal, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0106] Step 21, reporting the beam management capability information.

[0107] The beam management capability information is at least used for indicating that the terminal supports the beam management modes of independent beam management IBM and unified beam management CBM.

[0108] Here, the terminal can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a roadside unit (RSU), a smart home terminal, an industrial sensing device, a medical device, and the like. For example, the smart home terminal can include a camera, a temperature acquisition device, a brightness acquisition device, and the like.

[0109] Here, the base station involved in the present disclosure can be various types of base stations, such as a base station of a third generation mobile communication (3G) network, a base station of a fourth generation mobile communication (4G) network, a base station of a fifth generation mobile communication (5G) network, or other evolved base stations.

[0110] In one embodiment, the beam management capability information is reported, and the beam management capability information is at least used for indicating that the terminal supports the beam management modes of IBM and CBM at the same time.

[0111] In an embodiment, the terminal reports the beam management capability information to the base station in response to determining that the terminal supports both IBM and CBM beam management manners, wherein the beam management capability information is used to at least indicate that the terminal supports both IBM and CBM beam management manners. It should be noted that if the terminal determines that the terminal cannot support both IBM and CBM beam management manners, the terminal determines that the terminal supports only IBM or CBM beam management manner, and the terminal reports the beam management capability information, wherein the beam management capability information indicates that the terminal supports IBM or CBM beam management manner. Here, if the terminal supports only IBM or CBM beam management manner, the base station can perform beam management based on the beam management manner. If the terminal supports both IBM and CBM beam management manners, the base station can select one of the IBM and CBM beam management manners to perform beam management.

[0112] In an embodiment, the terminal can report the beam management capability information to the base station through multiple signaling. For example, the terminal can report the beam management capability information to the base station through first signaling and second signaling. The first signaling carries indication information of the beam management manner supported by the terminal, and the second signaling carries indication information of the beam management manner supported by the terminal.

[0113] In an embodiment, the terminal can send the first signaling and the second signaling to the base station, and when the base station can identify the second signaling, the base station can ignore the first signaling and determine the configured beam management manner based on the second signaling after receiving the first signaling and the second signaling. The base station and / or the terminal can perform beam management based on the configured beam management manner.

[0114] In an embodiment, the terminal can send only the first signaling to the base station without sending the second signaling, and the base station can determine the configured beam management manner based on the first signaling after receiving the first signaling. Of course, even if the base station cannot identify the second signaling, the terminal can still send the first signaling and the second signaling to the base station, but the base station will ignore the second signaling after receiving the second signaling and determine the configured beam management manner based on the first signaling. The base station and / or the terminal can perform beam management based on the configured beam management manner.

[0115] In an embodiment, the terminal can send the first signaling and the second signaling to the base station, and when the base station cannot identify the second signaling, the base station can ignore the second signaling and determine the configured beam management manner based on the first signaling after receiving the first signaling and the second signaling.

[0116] In an embodiment, the first signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v1630. The second signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy. Here, the indication information that the terminal supports IBM or CBM can be reported through beamManagementType-r16 in the first signaling. The indication information that the terminal supports IBM and CBM can be reported through beamManagementType-v17xy in the second signaling.

[0117] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, beam management capability information is reported, wherein the beam management capability information is used at least to indicate that the terminal supports independent beam management IBM and unified beam management CBM. When the terminal supports both IBM and CBM, the terminal can send beam management capability information to the base station to indicate that the terminal supports both IBM and CBM. Compared with the mode in which the terminal can only send beam management capability information to the base station to indicate that the terminal supports IBM or CBM, after the terminal receives the beam management capability information, the base station can select one of IBM and CBM for beam management, so that the beam management is more flexible.

[0118] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in some methods or related technologies in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0119] As shown in Figure 3 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for reporting beam management capability information, wherein the method is executed by a terminal, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0120] Step 31: reporting beam management capability information through first signaling and second signaling.

[0121] The first signaling carries indication information that the terminal supports IBM or CBM.

[0122] The second signaling carries indication information that the terminal supports IBM and CBM.

[0123] The second signaling can carry indication information that the terminal supports both IBM and CBM.

[0124] In an embodiment, the terminal reports the beam management capability information through the first signaling and the second signaling; after receiving the beam management capability information reported through the first signaling and the second signaling, the base station, in response to being able to identify the second signaling, will ignore the first signaling and determine the configured beam management mode based on the second signaling; or, in response to being unable to identify the second signaling, will ignore the second signaling and determine the configured beam management mode based on the first signaling. The base station and / or the terminal will perform beam management based on the configured beam management mode.

[0125] In an embodiment, the second signaling includes beam management type beamManagementType-v17xy signaling, wherein x and y are serial numbers. It should be noted that the second signaling can also include at least one of the following: new radio, NR, carrier aggregation parameter CA-ParametersNR-v17xy signaling, frequency band combination BandCombination-v17xy signaling, frequency band combination list BandCombinationList-v17xy signaling, and supported frequency band combination list supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy signaling.

[0126] In an embodiment, the entries of the beam management type beamManagementType-v17xy signaling, the new radio, NR, carrier aggregation parameter CA-ParametersNR-v17xy signaling, the frequency band combination BandCombination-v17xy signaling, the frequency band combination list BandCombinationList-v17xy signaling, and the supported frequency band combination list supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy signaling are consistent.

[0127] Here, the entry consistency can be that the entries are the same. Here, the entries can include an entry identifier, which is used to indicate a plurality of signals that are associated with each other. For example, the entry identifier in the entry of the beamManagementType-v17xy (note that -v17xy can also be referred to as a suffix in a specific scenario) is "xy". Note that the suffix "-v17xy" is optional and can be changed according to different releases. Here, xy is a serial number, and the same applies below, which will not be repeated. For example, the new radio (NR) carrier aggregation parameter CA-ParametersNR-v17xy signaling, the band combination BandCombination-v17xy signaling, the band combination list BandCombinationList-v17xy signaling, and the supported band combination list supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy signaling contained in the second signaling can all contain "xy", and the values of "xy" contained in each signaling are the same, for example, "xy" is all "10".

[0128] In one embodiment, the terminal supported beam management mode can be reported through the following signaling:

[0129] RF-Parameters::=SEQUENCE{ [[

[0131] supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy BandCombinationList-v17xyOPTIONAL,

[0132] ]],

[0133] }

[0134] / Here, supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy is a supported band combination list signaling; BandCombinationList-v17xy is a band combination list signaling /

[0135] BandCombinationList-v17xy::=SEQUENCE(SIZE(1..maxBandComb))OFBandCombination-v17xy

[0136] / Here, BandCombinationList-v17xy is a band combination list signaling /

[0143] beamManagementType-v17xy ENUMERATED{both} OPTIONAL,

[0144] }

[0145] / Here, beamManagementType-v17xy is a beam type management type signaling / .

[0146] In one embodiment, the first signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v1630. The second signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy. Here, the indication information that the terminal supports IBM or CBM can be reported through beamManagementType-r16 in the first signaling. The indication information that the terminal supports IBM and CBM can be reported through beamManagementType-v17xy in the second signaling.

[0147] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in some methods or related technologies in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0148] In one embodiment, the second signaling includes a beam management type beamManagementType-v17xy signaling, where xy is a serial number.

[0149] In an embodiment, the second signaling further includes at least one of: new radio (NR) carrier aggregation (CA) parameters CA-ParametersNR-v17xy signaling, band combination BandCombination-v17xy signaling, band combination list BandCombinationList-v17xy signaling, and supported band combination list supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy signaling.

[0151] As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment provides a method for reporting beam management capability information, wherein the method is performed by a base station, and the method includes: Figure 4

[0152] Step 41, receiving beam management capability information.

[0153] The beam management capability information is at least used to indicate that the terminal supports IBM and CBM beam management modes.

[0154] Here, the terminal can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a roadside unit (RSU), a smart home terminal, an industrial sensor device, and / or a medical device, etc. For example, the smart home terminal can include a camera, a temperature acquisition device, and a brightness acquisition device, etc.

After receiving the beam management capability information, the base station determines the configured beam management manner based on the beam management capability information. The base station and / or the terminal perform beam management based on the configured beam management manner. If the terminal supports only the IBM or CBM beam management manner, the base station can perform beam management based only on the beam management manner. If the terminal supports both the IBM and CBM beam management manners, the base station can select one of the IBM and CBM beam management manners to perform beam management.

[0158] In an embodiment, the terminal can report the beam management capability information to the base station through multiple signaling. For example, the terminal can report the beam management capability information to the base station through a first signaling and a second signaling. The first signaling carries indication information of the beam management manner supported by the terminal, and the second signaling carries indication information of the beam management manner supported by the terminal. The base station receives the first signaling and the second signaling and determines the configured beam management manner based on the beam management capability information indicated by the first signaling and / or the second signaling. It should be noted that when the terminal supports only the IBM beam management manner, the base station determines that the configured beam management manner is the IBM beam management manner; when the terminal supports only the CBM beam management manner, the base station determines that the configured beam management manner is the CBM beam management manner; and when the terminal supports both the IBM and CBM beam management manners, the base station can select one of the CBM and IBM to determine as the configured beam management manner. The base station and / or the terminal perform beam management based on the configured beam management manner.

[0159] In an embodiment, the terminal can send a first signaling and a second signaling to the base station; when the base station can identify the second signaling, the base station can ignore the first signaling and determine the configured beam management manner based on the second signaling after receiving the first signaling and the second signaling. The base station and / or the terminal perform beam management based on the configured beam management manner.

[0160] In an embodiment, the terminal can send only the first signaling to the base station without sending the second signaling; when the base station cannot identify the second signaling, the base station can determine the configured beam management manner based on the first signaling after receiving the first signaling. Of course, even if the base station cannot identify the second signaling, the terminal can still send the first signaling and the second signaling to the base station, but the base station will ignore the second signaling after receiving the second signaling. And determine the configured beam management manner based on the first signaling. The base station and / or the terminal will perform beam management based on the configured beam management manner.

[0161] In an embodiment, the terminal can send the first signaling and the second signaling to the base station; when the base station cannot identify the second signaling, the base station can ignore the second signaling and determine the configured beam management manner based on the first signaling after receiving the first signaling and the second signaling. The base station and / or the terminal will perform beam management based on the configured beam management manner.

[0162] In an embodiment, the first signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v1630. The second signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy. Here, the indication information that the terminal supports IBM or CBM can be reported through beamManagementType-r16 in the first signaling. The indication information that the terminal supports IBM and CBM can be reported through beamManagementType-v17xy in the second signaling.

[0163] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in some methods or related technologies in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0168] The second signaling can carry indication information that the terminal supports IBM and CBM beam management manner at the same time.

[0169] In an embodiment, the terminal reports the beam management capability information through the first signaling and the second signaling; after receiving the beam management capability information reported through the first signaling and the second signaling, the base station, in response to the base station being able to identify the second signaling, will ignore the first signaling and determine the configured beam management mode based on the second signaling; or, after receiving the beam management capability information reported through the first signaling and the second signaling, the base station, in response to the base station being unable to identify the second signaling, will ignore the second signaling and determine the configured beam management mode based on the first signaling. The base station and / or the terminal will perform beam management based on the configured beam management mode.

[0172] Here, the entry consistency can be that the entries are the same. Here, the entries can include an entry identifier, which is used to indicate a plurality of signals that are associated with each other. For example, the entry identifier in the entry of the beamManagementType-v17xy (note that -v17xy can also be referred to as a suffix in a specific scenario) is "xy". Note that the suffix "-v17xy" is optional and can be changed according to different releases. Here, xy is a serial number, and the same applies below. For example, the new radio (NR) carrier aggregation parameter CA-ParametersNR-v17xy signaling, the band combination BandCombination-v17xy signaling, the band combination list BandCombinationList-v17xy signaling, and the supported band combination list supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy signaling contained in the second signaling can all contain "xy", and the values of "xy" contained in each signaling are the same. For example, "xy" can take the value "10".

[0173] Here, the specific implementation of the signaling can be referred to the description in step 31.

[0174] In one embodiment, the first signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v1630. The second signaling is supportedBandCombinationList-v17xy. Here, the indication information that the terminal supports IBM or CBM can be reported through beamManagementType-r16 in the first signaling.
