Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of high frequency communications, and more specifically, to a method and a communication device for interference measurement and reporting. Background Art

[0002] The fifth generation mobile communication system (5G) uses high-frequency communication, that is, it uses ultra-high frequency band (>6GHz) signals to transmit data. A major problem with high-frequency communication is that the signal energy drops sharply with the transmission distance, resulting in a short signal transmission distance. To overcome this problem, high-frequency communication uses analog beam technology, which uses large-scale antenna arrays for weighted processing to concentrate the signal energy in a smaller range, forming a signal similar to a light beam (called an analog beam, or beam for short), thereby increasing the transmission distance.

[0003] The network device can generate different beams pointing to different transmission directions. The specific beam used for transmission is determined by the beam measurement process. Specifically, the network device configures multiple channel measurement resources for measuring channel resources for the terminal through measurement configuration information. Each channel measurement resource corresponds to a beam. The terminal measures the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of each channel resource (beam) by measuring the channel measurement resources configured by the network device, and then reports the index of at least one channel resource with a larger RSRP and the corresponding RSRP to the network device. However, when the network device sends data to the terminal through multiple beams, there may be interference between the beams, which will cause data transmission errors, thereby reducing the quality of data transmission.

[0004] In the traditional solution, the terminal can measure the impact of other beams on a certain beam, that is, the terminal can measure the impact of interference resources on a certain channel resource. Specifically, the terminal can calculate the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for a certain channel resource and report the SINR value to the network device, so that the network device can know the impact of the interference resource on the channel resource.

[0005] When multiple transmit beams are used for simultaneous transmission, the terminal device will use multiple receive beams for reception. In this scenario, if there are other interference signals, the terminal device will receive the interference signals from the multiple receive beams. Therefore, in the beam measurement process, in order to accurately measure the interference caused by the interference signals to the multiple transmit beams, it is necessary to use the multiple receive beams to simultaneously measure the interference signals. However, in the prior art, the network device can only indicate one receive beam to the terminal device, and the above measurement requirements cannot be met. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present application provides a method and a communication device for interference measurement reporting, which can measure the interference of interference resources on each channel of K channel resources that can simultaneously send signals, thereby improving the accuracy of interference measurement.

[0007] In a first aspect, a method for interference measurement reporting is provided, the method comprising: a terminal uses spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as spatial reception parameters of each of M interference resources of the terminal, the K channel resources are channel resources for which the terminal can receive signals simultaneously sent by a network device using the K channel resources, and M is a positive integer; the terminal determines a first measurement result of the K channel resources based on the spatial reception parameters of a first interference resource among the M interference resources, where K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; the terminal sends a measurement report to the network device, the measurement report being used to indicate the M measurement results, and the measurement report including the first measurement result.

[0008] The network device simultaneously sends signals through the K channel resources, and the terminal can receive the signals sent through the K channel resources. The terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each interference resource in the M interference resources, and then measures the first interference resource according to the spatial reception parameters of the first interference resource in the M interference resources, and determines the first measurement result of the K channel resources under the interference of the first interference resource, and then reports the M measurement results of the M interference resources to the network device through measurement report reporting, so that the network device can more accurately know the accuracy of the interference of the interference resource on the channel resource.

[0009] In some possible implementations, before the terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of the terminal's interference resources, the method also includes: the terminal receives measurement configuration information, the measurement configuration information is used to configure N channel resources and the M interference resources, N is a positive integer; the terminal determines, from the N channel resources, the K channel resources through which the terminal can receive signals simultaneously sent by the network device.

[0010] In a measurement reporting process, the network device configures N channel resources and M interference resources through measurement configuration information. The terminal first selects the above K channel resources that can be received simultaneously from the N channel resources, and then uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources. In this way, the network device does not need to configure the N channel resources and the M interference resources multiple times, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the time corresponding to the N channel resources is earlier than the time corresponding to the M interference resources.

[0012] The terminal can determine in advance K channel resources whose signals can be received by the terminal at the same time, and then use the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources, and then measure the first interference resource according to the spatial reception parameters of the first interference resource among the M interference resources, and determine the first measurement result of the K channel resources under the interference of the first interference resource, and then report the M measurement results of the M interference resources to the network device through measurement report reporting, so that the network device can more accurately know the accuracy of the interference of the interference resources on the channel resources.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of the interference resources, including: when at least one of the following conditions is met, the terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources: the beam group reporting parameter indication in the measurement configuration information is turned on, wherein the beam group reporting parameter is used to indicate whether to report the M measurement results; the reporting amount parameter in the measurement configuration information indicates that the measurement result includes the signal to interference plus noise ratio SINR; the measurement configuration information configures the M interference resources; the measurement configuration information does not configure the transmission configuration indication state TCI-State parameter for the M interference resources.

[0014] The terminal may set a condition, and only when the condition is met, the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources are used as the spatial reception parameters of each interference resource in the M interference resources. In other words, the terminal may flexibly select a suitable method for determining interference measurement.

[0015] In some possible implementations, before the terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of the terminal's interference resources, the method also includes: the terminal receives first measurement configuration information from the network device, and the first measurement configuration information is used to configure the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources and the M interference resources.

[0016] The above K channel resources are directly configured, rather than determined from the configured N channel resources. That is, the network device configures K channel resources and M interference resources. The terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources, so that the terminal does not need to make a selection, saving the power consumption of the terminal.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of the interference resources of the terminal, including: when at least one of the following conditions is met, the terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources: the beam group reporting parameter in the first measurement configuration information indicates on, and the reporting amount parameter in the first measurement configuration information indicates that the measurement result includes SINR, wherein the beam group reporting parameter is used to indicate whether to report the M measurement results; the beam group reporting parameter in the first measurement configuration information indicates on, and the first measurement configuration information configures the M interference resources, wherein the beam group reporting parameter is used to indicate whether to report the M measurement results; the beam group reporting parameter in the first measurement configuration information indicates on, and the first measurement configuration information configures the M interference resources, and the first measurement configuration information does not configure the transmission configuration indication state TCI-state parameter for the M interference resources, wherein the beam group reporting parameter is used to indicate whether to report the M measurement results.

[0018] The terminal may set a condition, and only when the condition is met, the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources are used as the spatial reception parameters of each interference resource in the M interference resources. In other words, the terminal may flexibly select a suitable method for determining interference measurement.

[0020] The terminal can select in advance and inform the network device of the selected channel resource, thereby improving the accuracy of the first measurement configuration information configured by the network device.

[0021] In some possible implementations, the terminal determines, based on the second measurement configuration information, the K channel resources through which the terminal can receive signals simultaneously sent by the network device, including: when at least one of the following conditions is met, the terminal determines, based on the second measurement configuration information, the K channel resources through which the terminal can receive signals simultaneously sent by the network device: a beam group reporting parameter in the second measurement configuration information indicates on, and a reporting quantity parameter in the second measurement configuration information indicates that the measurement result includes reference signal received power RSRP, wherein the beam group reporting parameter is used to indicate whether to report the M measurement results; a beam group reporting parameter in the second measurement configuration information indicates on, and the second measurement configuration information does not configure the M interference resources, wherein the beam group reporting parameter is used to indicate whether to report the M measurement results.

[0022] The terminal can set a condition, and when the condition is met, select the K channel resources from the N channel resources that the terminal can receive the signal sent simultaneously by the network device. In other words, the terminal can set a condition and flexibly set whether it is necessary to determine whether the K channel resources that the terminal can receive the signal sent simultaneously by the network device need to be determined.

[0023] In some possible implementations, the measurement result includes SINR, and the measurement report also includes at least one SINR difference, where the at least one SINR difference is the difference between the SINR in each measurement result other than the first measurement result in the K measurement results and the SINR of the first measurement result, and the first SINR included in the first measurement result is the largest SINR among the K measurement results, and the first SINR has a mapping relationship with the step size, and the step size is a product of the bit value used to indicate the SINR difference.

[0026] In a measurement reporting process, the network device configures N channel resources and M interference resources through measurement configuration information. The terminal first selects the above K channel resources that can be received simultaneously from the N channel resources, and then uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources. In this way, the network device does not need to configure the N channel resources and the M interference resources multiple times, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0027] In some possible implementations, the measurement configuration information includes a beam group reporting parameter and / or a reporting quantity parameter, the beam group reporting parameter is used to indicate whether to report the M measurement results, and the reporting quantity parameter indicates that the measurement result includes a signal to interference plus noise ratio SINR.

[0028] In some possible implementations, the measurement result includes SINR, and the measurement report also includes at least one SINR difference, where the at least one SINR difference is the difference between the SINR in each measurement result other than the first measurement result in the K measurement results and the SINR of the first measurement result, and the first SINR included in the first measurement result is the largest SINR among the K measurement results, and the first SINR has a mapping relationship with the step size, and the step size is a product of the bit value used to indicate the SINR difference.

[0031] The network device can directly configure K channel resources instead of the terminal determining them from the configured N channel resources. In other words, the network device configures K channel resources and M interference resources. The terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources, which does not require the terminal to make a selection, saving the power consumption of the terminal.

[0039] According to the repetition parameters of the N channel resources, it is determined whether the transmission beams of the N channel resources are the same.

[0040] The terminal determines whether the transmission beams of the N channel resources are the same by measuring the repetition parameters in the configuration information.

[0104] The technical solution in this application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0105] The following is a detailed introduction to the terms involved in this application:

[0106] 1. Beam:

[0107] The embodiment of beam in NR protocol can be spatial domain filter, or spatial filter or spatial parameter. The beam used to send signals can be called transmission beam (Tx beam), spatial domain transmission filter or spatial transmission parameter; the beam used to receive signals can be called reception beam (Rx beam), spatial domain receive filter or spatial RX parameter.

[0108] The transmit beam may refer to the distribution of signal strength in different directions of space after the signal is transmitted by the antenna, and the receive beam may refer to the distribution of signal strength in different directions of space of the wireless signal received from the antenna.

[0109] In addition, the beam may be a wide beam, a narrow beam, or other types of beams. The technology for forming the beam may be a beamforming technology or other technologies. The beamforming technology may specifically be a digital beamforming technology, an analog beamforming technology, or a hybrid digital / analog beamforming technology.

[0110] Beams generally correspond to resources. For example, when measuring beams, network equipment measures different beams through different resources. The terminal feeds back the measured resource quality, and the network equipment knows the quality of the corresponding beam. During data transmission, beam information is also indicated through its corresponding resources. For example, the network equipment indicates the terminal PDSCH beam information through the resources in the TCI of the DCI.

[0111] Optionally, multiple beams with the same or similar communication characteristics are regarded as one beam. One beam may include one or more antenna ports for transmitting data channels, control channels, and sounding signals. One or more antenna ports forming a beam may also be regarded as an antenna port set.

[0112] In beam measurement, each beam of the network device corresponds to a resource, so the beam corresponding to the resource can be uniquely identified by the resource index.

[0113] 2. Resources:

[0114] In beam measurement, the beam corresponding to the resource can be uniquely identified by the resource index. The resource can be an uplink signal resource or a downlink signal resource. Uplink signals include but are not limited to sounding reference signal (SRS) and demodulation reference signal (DMRS). Downlink signals include but are not limited to: channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), cell specific reference signal (CS-RS), user equipment specific reference signal (US-RS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS), and synchronization system / physical broadcast channel block (SS / PBCH block). Among them, SS / PBCH block can be referred to as synchronization signal block (SSB).

[0115] Resources are configured through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. In terms of configuration structure, a resource is a data structure, including relevant parameters of its corresponding uplink / downlink signal, such as the type of uplink / downlink signal, the resource element carrying the uplink / downlink signal, the transmission time and period of the uplink / downlink signal, the number of ports used to send the uplink / downlink signal, etc. Each uplink / downlink signal resource has a unique index to identify the resource of the downlink signal. It can be understood that the index of the resource can also be called the identification of the resource, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0116] 3. Channel resources:

[0117] Channel resources refer to the resources used for data transmission reported by the terminal during beam measurement.

[0118] 4. Interference resources:

[0119] When measuring interference, for a specific channel resource, the terminal will regard other resources as interference to the channel resource to calculate their interference to the channel resource. These resources regarded as interference are collectively referred to as interference resources.

[0120] 5. Group reporting

[0121] Group reporting is a special reporting method, which can be activated by configuring the beam group reporting parameter (groupbased beam reporting) in the measurement configuration to be turned on (for example, configured to be enabled). Specifically, when group based beam reporting is configured to be enabled, the terminal will select two resources that can be received by it at the same time and report the indexes of these two resources to the network device.

[0122] 6. Transmission configuration indicator (TCI) - state:

[0123] TCI-state is configured by network equipment to each terminal. The structure of TCI-state is as follows Figure 1As shown. Each TCI-state includes its own index TCI-state identification (identity, Id), and two quasi-co-location (QCL)-information (Info). Each QCL-Info includes a cell field and a bandwidth part (bandwidthpart, bwp)-Id, which respectively indicate which bwp of which cell (cell) the TCI-state is applied to, that is, different cells or different bwp of the same cell can be configured with different QCL-Info. QCL-Info also includes a reference signal (referencesignal), which is used to indicate which reference signal resource constitutes the QCL system. It can be understood that in the R15 protocol, the word "beam" generally does not appear directly, and the beam is generally replaced by other terms. For example, in data transmission and channel measurement, beams correspond to reference signal resources, and one beam corresponds to one reference signal resource. Therefore, when it is said here that a QCL relationship is formed with which reference signal resource, it actually refers to which beam constitutes the QCL relationship. The QCL relationship refers to two reference signal resources (or two antenna ports, where antenna ports and reference signal resources also correspond one to one) having certain identical spatial parameters. Which specific spatial parameters are the same depends on the type of the QCL-Info, that is, another field qcl-Type of the QCL-Info. qcl-Type can have four values ​​{typeA, typeB, typeC, typeD}. Taking typeD as an example, typeD indicates that the two reference signal resources have the same spatial reception parameter information, that is, the two beams have the same receiving beam. At most one of the two QCL-Info included in the TCI-state can be TypeD.

[0124] It should be noted that with the continuous development of technology, the terms of the embodiments of the present application may change, but they are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0125] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: global system for mobile communications (GSM) system, code division multiple access (CDMA) system, wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) system, general packet radio service (GPRS), long term evolution (LTE) system, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) system, LTE time division duplex (TDD), universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) communication system, future fifth generation (5G) system or new radio (NR), etc.

[0126] The terminal in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a user device, an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device. The terminal may also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal in a future 5G network or a terminal in a future evolved public land mobile communication network (PLMN), etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0127] The network device in the embodiment of the present application may be a device for communicating with a terminal. The network device may be a base station (base transceiver station, BTS) in a global system for mobile communications (GSM) system or code division multiple access (CDMA), or a base station (NodeB, NB) in a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) system, or an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a wireless controller in a cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenario, or the network device may be a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a network device in a future 5G network, or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network, one or a group of antenna panels (including multiple antenna panels) of a base station in a 5G system, or a network node constituting a gNB or a transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU), or a distributed unit (DU), etc., and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

[0128] In some deployments, the gNB may include a centralized unit (CU) and a DU. The gNB may also include an active antenna unit (AAU). The CU implements some functions of the gNB, and the DU implements some functions of the gNB. For example, the CU is responsible for processing non-real-time protocols and services, and implementing the functions of the radio resource control (RRC) and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layers. The DU is responsible for processing physical layer protocols and real-time services, and implementing the functions of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the media access control (MAC) layer, and the physical (PHY) layer. The AAU implements some physical layer processing functions, radio frequency processing, and related functions of active antennas. Since the information of the RRC layer will eventually become the information of the PHY layer, or be converted from the information of the PHY layer, under this architecture, high-level signaling, such as RRC layer signaling, can also be considered to be sent by the DU, or by the DU+AAU. It can be understood that the network device can be a device including one or more of a CU node, a DU node, and an AAU node. In addition, the CU may be divided into a network device in an access network (radio access network, RAN), or may be divided into a network device in a core network (core network, CN), which is not limited in the present application.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal or network device includes a hardware layer, an operating system layer running on the hardware layer, and an application layer running on the operating system layer. The hardware layer includes hardware such as a central processing unit (CPU), a memory management unit (MMU), and a memory (also called main memory). The operating system can be any one or more computer operating systems that implement business processing through a process, such as a Linux operating system, a Unix operating system, an Android operating system, an iOS operating system, or a Windows operating system. The application layer includes applications such as a browser, an address book, a word processing software, and an instant messaging software. In addition, the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the specific structure of the execution subject of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, as long as it can communicate according to the method provided in the embodiment of the present application by running a program that records the code of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the execution subject of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be a terminal or a network device, or a functional module in a terminal or a network device that can call and execute a program.

[0130] In addition, various aspects or features of the present application can be implemented as methods, devices or products using standard programming and / or engineering techniques. The term "product" used in this application covers computer programs that can be accessed from any computer-readable device, carrier or medium. For example, computer-readable media may include, but are not limited to: magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disks, floppy disks or tapes, etc.), optical disks (e.g., compact discs (CDs), digital versatile discs (DVDs), etc.), smart cards and flash memory devices (e.g., erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), cards, sticks or key drives, etc.). In addition, the various storage media described herein may represent one or more devices and / or other machine-readable media for storing information. The term "machine-readable medium" may include, but is not limited to, wireless channels and various other media capable of storing, containing and / or carrying instructions and / or data.

[0131] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a communication system of the present application. Figure 1 The communication system in the embodiment may include at least one terminal (e.g., terminal 10, terminal 20, terminal 30, terminal 40, terminal 50, and terminal 60) and a network device 70. The network device 70 is used to provide communication services for the terminal and access the core network. The terminal can access the network by searching for synchronization signals, broadcast signals, etc. sent by the network device 70, thereby communicating with the network. Figure 1 The terminals 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 in the network device 70 can perform uplink and downlink transmission with the network device 70. For example, the network device 70 can send downlink signals to the terminals 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60, and can also receive uplink signals sent by the terminals 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60.

[0132] In addition, the terminal 40 , the terminal 50 and the terminal 60 may also be regarded as a communication system. The terminal 60 may send downlink signals to the terminal 40 and the terminal 50 , and may also receive uplink signals sent by the terminal 40 and the terminal 50 .

[0133] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a communication system including one or more network devices, and can also be applied to a communication system including one or more terminals, and the present application does not limit this.

[0134] It should be understood that the network device included in the communication system may be one or more. One network device may send data or control signaling to one or more terminals. Multiple network devices may also send data or control signaling to one or more terminals at the same time.

[0135] Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a method for reporting interference measurement in a conventional solution is shown.

[0136] 201. The network device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0137] The configuration information includes two parts: resource configuration information and reporting configuration information. Resource configuration information includes information related to channel resources and interference resources. Among them, the information related to channel resources may include the time-frequency resource position corresponding to the channel resources, and the spatial reception parameters of the channel resources. The information related to interference resources may include the time-frequency resource position corresponding to the interference resources, and the spatial reception parameters of the interference resources. The information related to interference resources may also not include spatial reception parameters. The network device can configure one or more resource configurations for the terminal, each resource configuration includes one or more resource sets, and each resource set may include one or more resources. Each resource configuration / resource set / resource includes its own index. In addition, some other parameters are also included, such as the period of the resource, the signal type corresponding to the resource, etc. The reporting configuration information refers to the information related to the measurement result reporting. Each reporting configuration includes reporting time and period, reporting amount and other information related to the report. In addition, the reporting configuration also includes the index of the resource configuration, which is used to indicate what resource the reported result is obtained by measuring.

[0138] It can be understood that channel resources can also be called channel measurement resources, and interference resources can also be called interference measurement resources.

[0139] 202. The network device sends downlink signals respectively on the channel resources and interference resources configured by the resource configuration information.

[0140] 203. The terminal determines a measurement result of the channel resource under the interference of the interference resource according to the downlink signal on the measured channel resource and the downlink signal on the interference resource. The measurement result may be represented by SINR.

[0141] It should be understood that measuring the interference of interference resources on channel resources is essentially measuring the interference of signals corresponding to interference resources on signals corresponding to channel resources, or the interference of transmission beams corresponding to interference resources on transmission beams corresponding to channel resources.

[0142] 204. The terminal sends a measurement report to the network device, where the measurement report is used to indicate the measurement result and the like.

[0143] In traditional solutions, network equipment can measure the interference caused by interference resources to a single channel resource. Figure 3 In the example, the terminal can measure the interference caused by interference resource #3 (corresponding to transmit beam #3) to channel resource #1 (corresponding to transmit beam #1). The specific method is to configure the same TCI-state (i.e., the same receiving spatial parameters, or receiving beam) for interference resource #3 as for channel resource #1. In this way, the terminal will use the receiving beam of channel resource #1 (receiving beam 4) to receive the downlink signals on channel resource #1 and interference resource #3, thereby calculating the SINR of channel resource #1 under the interference of interference resource #3. However, the terminal cannot measure the interference caused by the interference resource to multiple channel resources at the same time. For example, Figure 3 In the example, the receiving beams corresponding to channel resource #1 and channel resource #2 are beam #4 and beam #5. When channel resources #1 and #2 are transmitted at the same time, the terminal will use #4 and #5 to receive simultaneously. At this time, the terminal should use beams #4 and #5 to simultaneously receive interference resource #3 in order to measure the interference caused by interference resource #3 to channel resources #1 and #2 simultaneously. However, the existing technology does not support configuring multiple TCI-states (or multiple receiving beams) for interference resources, so it is impossible to measure the interference caused by interference resource #3 to channel resources #1 and #2 simultaneously.

[0144] Figure 4 A schematic flowchart of a method for reporting interference measurement according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0145] 401. The terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources of the terminal, and the K channel resources are channel resources through which the terminal can receive signals simultaneously sent by a network device using the K channel resources. M is a positive integer, and K is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0146] Specifically, the network device sends signals simultaneously through the K channel resources, and the terminal can receive the signals sent through the K channel resources. The terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each interference resource in the M interference resources. If M=1, the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources are all used as the spatial reception parameters of the 1 interference resource.

[0147] It can be understood that the K channel resources are resources whose corresponding downlink signals can be received simultaneously by the terminal (for example, CSI-RS and / or SSB resources can be received simultaneously by the UE), or the terminal can simultaneously receive the signals sent by the K channel resources. Specifically, the terminal being able to simultaneously receive the signals sent by the K channel resources can mean that the terminal is capable of simultaneously receiving the downlink signals corresponding to the K channel resources, or that the terminal is capable of simultaneously receiving the transmission beams corresponding to the K channel resources. In other words, when the network device uses the transmission beams corresponding to these channel resources to simultaneously send downlink signals, the terminal can receive them all. For example, the receiving beams of the transmission beams corresponding to the K channel resources are all the same, and the terminal can use the receiving beam to simultaneously receive the downlink signals on the transmission beams corresponding to the K channel resources. For another example, the receiving beams of the transmission beams corresponding to the K channel resources are different (assuming that they correspond to X different receiving beams in total), and the terminal has multiple antenna panels, which can simultaneously use the above X different receiving beams for reception, so that the terminal can also simultaneously receive the downlink signals on the transmission beams corresponding to the K channel resources.

[0148] It can be understood that the K channel resources may be K transmission beams of the network device.

[0149] It can be understood that taking the spatial reception parameters of K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of an interference resource can be understood as using all the receiving beams corresponding to the K channel resources to simultaneously receive the interference resource, or it can be understood as using all the receiving beams corresponding to the K channel resources as the receiving beams of the interference resource, or it can be understood as the interference resource and the K channel resources are simultaneously QCL. Among them, all the receiving beams corresponding to the K channel resources, that is, the K transmitting beams of the network device correspond one to one with the K receiving beams of the terminal.

[0150] It is understandable that the K signals simultaneously sent by the network device may be received by the terminal at the same time or at different times, and this application does not limit this.

[0151] It can also be understood that the terminal can receive the signals of the K channel resources through one or more channel resources, which is not limited herein.

[0152] It can also be understood that the type of channel resource can be non-zero power channel status information reference signal resource (NZP-CSI-RS-resource), or synchronization signal-broadcast channel measurement resource block (synchronization signal and PBCH block, SSB). The type of interference resource can be NZP-CSI-RS-resource, or channel status information interference measurement (CSI-IM)-resource type, or a mixture of the two, that is, part is NZP-CSI-RS-resource and part is CSI-IM-resource.

[0153] The K channel resources may be selected from the N channel resources configured in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the current measurement, or may be directly configured in the measurement configuration information corresponding to the current measurement. These two situations correspond to two embodiments respectively.

[0154] In the first embodiment, the K channel resources are K channel resources determined from N channel resources that can be received simultaneously by the terminal. The determination of the K channel resources and the use of the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources to measure the M interference resources are completed in the same measurement reporting process. Specifically, in a measurement reporting process, the network device configures N channel resources and M interference resources through measurement configuration information. The terminal first selects the K channel resources that can be received simultaneously from the N channel resources, and then uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources.

[0155] It is understandable that the N channel resources may be configured in the same resource setting or in different resource settings, or the N channel resources may be configured in the same resource set or in different resource sets.

[0156] Similarly, the M interference resources may be configured in the same resourcesetting or in different resourcesettings, or the M interference resources may be configured in the same resourceset or in different resourcesets.

[0157] It can also be understood that the N channel resources and the M interference resources can be configured in the same resourcesetting or the same resourceset, or in different resourcesettings or different resourcesets, and this application does not limit this.

[0158] It is also understandable that resourcesetting can also be called resourceconfig.

[0159] Optionally, the configuration information is also used to configure spatial reception parameters of each channel resource in the N channel resources.

[0160] It can be understood that the spatial reception parameters of the N channel resources may be different, or may be all the same, or may be partially the same, and this application does not limit this.

[0161] It can also be understood that the configuration information can also configure group based beam reporting and / or reporting quantity parameters (report quantity). Among them, the beam group reporting parameter is used to determine whether to report the measurement results of K channel resources that can be received simultaneously by the terminal. If the beam group reporting parameter indicates on (for example, configured as enabled), the terminal reports in a grouped manner to report K channel resources that can be received simultaneously by the terminal; if the beam group reporting parameter indicates off (for example, configured as disabled), the terminal does not need to report in a grouped manner. The reporting quantity parameter is used to indicate the content contained in the reporting result, such as reference signal receiving power (RSRP), SINR, etc.

[0162] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application limit the names of the beam group reporting parameters and the reporting amount parameters, and the beam group reporting parameters and the reporting amount parameters may also use other names.

[0163] Optionally, the time corresponding to the N channel resources is earlier than the time corresponding to the M interference resources.

[0164] Specifically, the time corresponding to a resource (channel resource or interference resource) refers to the time when the downlink signal corresponding to the resource is sent, and the time can be indicated by a time-frequency resource mapping parameter in the resource. The time can be expressed as an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a time slot, a millisecond, etc. The time corresponding to the N channel resources is earlier than the time corresponding to the M interference resources, and can be the latest time among the times corresponding to the N channel resources, and earlier than the earliest time among the times corresponding to the M interference resources.

[0165] Further, the time corresponding to the N channel resources is earlier than the time corresponding to the M interference resources, which can also specifically mean that the time corresponding to the N channel resources can be X time units earlier than the time corresponding to the M interference resources. For example, the latest time among the times corresponding to the N channel resources is X time units earlier than the earliest time among the times corresponding to the M interference resources. The unit of time can be an OFDM symbol, a time slot, etc. For example, the latest time among the times corresponding to the N channel resources is X symbols earlier than the earliest time among the times corresponding to the M interference resources. That is, the OFDM symbol corresponding to the latest channel resource among the N channel resources is X symbols earlier than the OFDM symbol corresponding to the earliest resource among the M interference resources. It can also be expressed that the interval between the OFDM symbol (symbol j) corresponding to the earliest resource among the M interference resources and the OFDM symbol (symbol i) corresponding to the latest channel resource among the N channel resources is at least X symbols, for example, ji is greater than or equal to X.

[0166] Optionally, the time corresponding to the N channel resources is earlier than the time corresponding to the M interference resources, and may specifically refer to the earliest time among the times corresponding to the N channel resources, which is X time units earlier than the earliest time among the times corresponding to the M interference resources. Alternatively, it may also be the earliest time among the times corresponding to the N channel resources, which is X time units earlier than the latest time among the times corresponding to the M interference resources. Alternatively, it may also be the latest time among the times corresponding to the N channel resources, which is X time units earlier than the latest time among the times corresponding to the M interference resources.

[0167] It can be understood that the value of X can be a default value specified by the protocol, or it can be reported by the terminal to the network device (for example, reported to the network device through the terminal capability reporting process), or it can be a value indicated by the network device through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, media access control (MAC)-control element (CE) information or downlink control information (DCI), and this application does not limit this.

[0168] It can also be understood that the time unit can be a symbol, a time slot, a subframe, a frame, a millisecond, a microsecond, Ts, Tc.

[0169] Optionally, a first condition may be adopted, and when the condition is met, the method of the first embodiment of step 401 is adopted to determine the receiving spatial parameters of the interference resources. That is, only when the condition is met, the spatial receiving parameters of the K channel resources that can be simultaneously received by the terminal determined from the N channel resources are used as the spatial receiving parameters of each interference resource in the M interference resources. The condition may be one of the following. The following items are all for the measurement configuration information.

[0170] The beam group reporting parameter in the measurement configuration information indicates that it is enabled. For example, group based beam reporting is configured as enabled;

[0171] The report quantity parameter in the measurement configuration information indicates that the report content includes SINR. For example, report quantity is configured as cri-SINR, ssb-Index-SINR or any other form including SINR;

[0172] The interference resources are configured in the measurement configuration information. In other words, it is not just the channel resources that are configured;

[0173] The interference resource is configured in the measurement configuration information and the TCI-state parameter is not configured for the interference resource;

[0174] The time of the N channel resources configured in the measurement configuration information is X OFDM symbols earlier than the time of the M interference resources. For example, the time of the latest channel resource among the N channel resources is X OFDM symbols earlier than the time of the latest interference resource among the M interference resources.

[0175] The above conditions may also be a combination of the above conditions, that is, only when the conditions are met at the same time, the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources are used as the spatial reception parameters of each interference resource in the M interference resources. The following combinations may be used.

[0176] The beam group reporting parameter indication in the measurement configuration information is turned on, and the reporting content indicated by the reporting amount parameter includes SINR.

[0177] The beam grouping reporting parameter in the measurement configuration information is indicated as on, and interference resources are configured in the configuration information.

[0178] The beam group reporting parameter in the measurement configuration information is indicated as on, and the interference resource is configured and the TCI-state parameter is not configured for the interference resource.

[0179] The beam group reporting parameter in the measurement configuration information is indicated as on, and the time of the configured N channel resources is X OFDM symbols earlier than the time of the M interference resources.

[0180] The beam group reporting parameter indication in the measurement configuration information is turned on, the reporting content indicated by the reporting amount parameter includes SINR, and the time of the configured N channel resources is X OFDM symbols earlier than the time of the M interference resources.

[0181] The beam group reporting parameter in the measurement configuration information is indicated as on, and interference resources are configured, and the time of the configured N channel resources is X OFDM symbols earlier than the time of the M interference resources.

[0182] The beam group reporting parameter indication in the measurement configuration information is turned on, the interference resource is configured and the TCI-state parameter is not configured for the interference resource, and the time of the configured N channel resources is X OFDM symbols earlier than the time of the M interference resources.

[0183] In the second embodiment, the K channel resources are directly configured instead of being determined from the configured N channel resources. That is, the network device configures K channel resources and M interference resources. The terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources.

[0184] Specifically, the terminal receives first measurement configuration information from a network device, and the first measurement configuration information includes K channel resources and M interference resources. The terminal uses the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources. These K channel resources can be simultaneously received by the terminal. That is to say, when the network device has learned about K channel resources that can be simultaneously received by the terminal, for example, K channel resources that can be simultaneously received by the terminal are determined through other measurement processes, the above configuration can be directly used for measurement without configuring N channel resources, so that the terminal first selects K channel resources that can be simultaneously received by it, and then uses the reception spatial parameters of these K channel resources as the spatial parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources.

[0185] It is understandable that these K channel resources cannot be received simultaneously by the terminal. The terminal can also use the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources as the spatial reception parameters of each of the M interference resources to measure the M interference resources. This application does not limit this.

[0186] Optionally, a second condition may be adopted, and when the second condition is met, the method of the second embodiment of step 401 is adopted to determine the receiving spatial parameters of the interference resource. That is, only when the second condition is met, the spatial receiving parameters of the configured K channel resources are adopted as the spatial receiving parameters of each interference resource in the M interference resources. The second condition may be any one of the following. The following items are all for the first measurement configuration information.

[0187] The beam group reporting parameter in the first measurement configuration information indicates that it is turned on, and the reporting content indicated by the reporting quantity parameter includes SINR. For example, report quantity is configured as cri-SINR, ssb-Index-SINR or any other form including SINR;

[0188] The beam group reporting parameter in the first measurement configuration information indicates that it is turned on, and interference resources are configured;

[0189] The beam group reporting parameter in the first measurement configuration information indicates that it is turned on, and the interference resource is configured, and the TCI-state parameter is not configured for the interference resource;

[0190] Optionally, the terminal may also directly execute the above method by default without the above second condition.

[0191] Optionally, the above-mentioned K channel resources that can be received simultaneously by the terminal are determined through another measurement process. That is, before this measurement, that is, before the measurement performed according to the above-mentioned first measurement configuration information, the terminal has performed a measurement. For example, the terminal receives second measurement configuration information from a network device, and N channel resources are configured in the second measurement configuration information. According to the second measurement configuration information, the terminal determines K channel resources that can be received simultaneously from the N channel resources, and reports the indexes of the K channel resources to the network device, so that the network device can learn about the K channel resources.

[0192] Optionally, a third condition may be adopted, and when the third condition is satisfied, the terminal determines K channel resources that can be received simultaneously from the N channel resources configured in the second measurement configuration information. The third condition may be any one of the following. The following items are all for the second measurement configuration information.

[0193] The beam group reporting parameter in the second measurement configuration information indicates that it is turned on, and the reporting content indicated by the reporting amount parameter includes RSRP. For example, the reporting amount parameter is configured as cri-RSRP, ssb-Index-RSRP or other forms including RSRP.

[0194] The beam grouping reporting parameter indication in the second measurement configuration information is turned on, and no interference resources are configured.

[0195] Optionally, when the network device configures interference resources for the terminal through measurement configuration information, it needs to refer to the capability limitation of the terminal, that is, the maximum number of interference resources that the terminal can support. The terminal can report its capabilities regarding interference resources through the terminal capability reporting process, such as the maximum number of interference resources that can be measured in a time slot. Specifically, the terminal can report any one or more of the following terminal capabilities.

[0196] Specifically, the upper limit of the number of interference resources may be:

[0197] The upper limit of the number of interference resources that can be configured in a cell; the upper limit of the number that can be configured in a bwp; the upper limit of the total number of interference resources that can be configured in all cells; the upper limit of the number of interference resources that can be configured on an OFDM symbol; the upper limit of the number of interference resources that can be configured in a time slot; the upper limit of the number of interference resources that can be configured in a resourcesetting; the upper limit of the number that can be configured in a resourceset; the upper limit of the number of interference resources associated with a reportconfig; the upper limit of the number of interference resources associated with a channel resource; the upper limit of the number of interference resources associated with a channel resource set resourceset; the upper limit of the number of interference resources associated with a channel resource configuration resourceconfig.

[0198] It can be understood that the above-mentioned various quantity upper limits may refer to the upper limit of the number of interference resources of type NZP CSI-RS, or the upper limit of the number of interference resources of type CSI-IM, or the upper limit of the total number of interference resources of type NZP CSI-RS and interference resources of type CSI-IM.

[0199] 402. The terminal determines a first measurement result of the K channel resources according to a spatial reception parameter of a first interference resource among the M interference resources.

[0200] Specifically, the terminal measures the first interference resource according to the spatial reception parameter of the first interference resource among the M interference resources, and determines the first measurement result of the K channel resources under the interference of the first interference resource. The first interference resource is any one of the M interference resources. In other words, the terminal can measure each of the M interference resources and determine the measurement results of the above K channel resources under the interference of each interference resource. That is, the terminal can determine the M measurement results corresponding to the M interference resources.

[0201] For example, taking the spatial reception parameters including TCI-state as an example, the spatial reception parameters of the K channel resources are TCI-state1 and TCI-state2 respectively, then any interference resource among the M interference resources must be measured using TCI-state1 and TCI-state2.

[0202] It is understandable that the terminal can determine one or more measurement results of the K channel resources based on one interference resource. For example, the terminal can determine 2 measurement results of 2 channel resources under the interference of 1 interference resource, or the average value of the 2 measurement results. When M=1, the terminal can report a set of measurement results. When M>1, the terminal can report M groups of measurement results.

[0203] It can also be understood that the measurement result in the present application can be SINR, or RSRP, CQI or reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ), which is not limited in the present application. When the measurement result is SINR, the SINR can also be L1-SINR.

[0204] Optionally, the following method may be used to calculate the measurement result: SINR is taken as an example below.

[0205] Specifically, take K=2 channel resources (resource 1 and resource 2) and an interference resource i as an example for explanation. The terminal adopts the spatial reception parameters of resource 1 and resource 2 to receive the downlink signal corresponding to the interference resource i, and the interference energy Ii is measured. The spatial reception parameters of resource 1 are adopted to receive the downlink signal corresponding to resource 1, and the signal energy P1 is measured. P1 can also be the signal energy measured by simultaneously receiving the downlink signal corresponding to resource 1 using the spatial reception parameters of resource 1 and resource 2. The signal energy P2 is measured by receiving resource 2 using the spatial reception parameters of resource 1. P2 can also be the signal energy measured by simultaneously receiving the downlink signal corresponding to resource 1 using the spatial reception parameters of resource 1 and resource 2. The following uses resource 1 to illustrate the calculation method of SINR.

[0206] The SINR of resource 1 under interference from interfering resource 1 can be calculated by the following formula:

[0207]

[0208] Wherein, N0 is other interference energy, such as noise and neighboring cell interference.

[0209] The SINR of resource 1 under the interference of interference resource 1 can also be calculated by the following formula:

[0210]

[0211] Where P_{21} is the energy of resource 2 measured by receiving resource 2 using the spatial receiving parameters of resource 1. In other words, P_{21} is the energy leaked from resource 2 to the receiving beam of resource 1. This energy will interfere with the signal on resource 1, so it needs to be taken into account in the overall interference.

[0212] That is to say, in the group reporting mode (for example, when the above-mentioned first condition is met), when measuring the SINR of resource j among K resources (the K resources may be K configured channel resources, or K channel resources to be reported that can be received simultaneously), the spatial reception parameters of resource j are used to measure the signal energy of each other resource in the K resources respectively, and the signal energy of each other resource is used as interference to calculate the SINR of resource j respectively; or the signal energy of each other resource is used as interference to calculate the SINR of resource j; resource j is any one of the K resources.

[0213] Optionally, in the above calculation method, the interference of all M interference resources on K channel resources may also be calculated, that is, the interference energies in the M interference resources are added together to calculate the interference energy of the K resources. Still taking resource 1 as an example, the following calculation method may be used.

[0214]

[0215] Or use,

[0216]

[0217] Where I is the sum of the interference energies of all M interference resources.

[0218] The above SINR measurement results can be used to determine the K channel resources that can be received simultaneously to be reported. For example, among multiple groups (each group of K) of channel resources that can be received simultaneously, select the group of channel resources with the largest equivalent SINR. Equivalent SINR refers to the maximum value, minimum value, average value, sum, etc. of the SINR of K channel resources. It can also be an SINR calculated by other calculation methods. An equivalent SINR threshold can also be used. When there is no group of SINRs exceeding the threshold, the measurement result is not reported, or a special value is reported.

[0219] 403. The terminal sends a measurement report to the network device, where the measurement report is used to indicate measurement results of K channel resources, and the measurement report includes the first measurement result.

[0220] Specifically, the measurement report may be used to indicate the M measurement results.

[0221] In a possible implementation manner, the measurement report includes M measurement results, each measurement result corresponds to an interference resource. Each measurement result of the M measurement results includes an index of a corresponding channel resource.

[0222] Specifically, the terminal may directly report the M measurement results to the network device, and carry the index of the corresponding interference resource in each measurement result, so that the network device can identify which interference resource each measurement result is a measurement result of the K channel resources relative to.

[0223] In another possible implementation manner, the measurement report includes M measurement results, and the M measurement results are sorted in a first order, where the first order is a preset interference channel resource index order or a configuration order of the K interference resources.

[0224] Specifically, the terminal can directly report the M measurement results to the network device. The M measurement results are sorted in a first order, and the first order is a preset interference resource index order or a configuration order of the at least K interference resources. In this way, the network device can also identify that each measurement result is a measurement result of the K channel resources relative to which interference resource.

[0225] In another possible implementation, when L SINRs are to be reported, the maximum or minimum SINR therein may be reported, as well as the difference between another L-1 SINRs and the maximum or minimum SINR. The above maximum or minimum SINR may be referred to as a reference SINR. In the reporting format, the reference SINR uses Q bits, and each SINR difference uses R bits. R bits can represent 2R different values, for example, when R=4, 16 values ​​can be represented. Among them, the difference between two adjacent values ​​is called a quantization step. For example, 0000 represents 1dB, 0001 represents 2dB, and the difference is 1dB, so the quantization step of the SINR difference is 1dB.

[0226] In the embodiment of the present application, the step size of the SINR difference may have a mapping relationship with the first SINR. That is, multiple SINR intervals may be specified, and each SINR interval adopts a step size. For example, as shown in Table 1 below, when the value of the reference SINR is greater than 20dB, a step size of 2dB is adopted. When the value of the reference SINR is between 10dB and 20dB, a step size of 1.5dB is adopted. When the value of the reference SINR is between 5dB and 10dB, a step size of 1dB is adopted. When the value of the reference SINR is less than 5dB, a step size of 0.5dB is adopted.

[0244] 607. The terminal sends a measurement report to the network device, where the measurement report is used to indicate M measurement results, and the measurement report includes the first measurement result.

[0245] Figure 7 A schematic flowchart of a method for determining a transmit beam of a channel resource according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0246] 701. The network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal, where the measurement configuration information is used to configure N channel resources and M interference resources, and the configuration information includes a repetition parameter of the N channel resources, where the state of the repetition parameter of the N channel resources is used to indicate whether the transmission beams of the N channel resources are the same.

[0247] 702. The terminal determines whether the transmission beams of the N channel resources are the same according to the repetition parameters of the N channel resources.

[0248] Specifically, the network device may indicate, through the parameter repetition, whether the channel resources and the interference resources are transmitted using one transmission beam.

[0249] It can be understood that the transmission beams of the N channel resources are the same, which can be understood as the N channel resources using the same beam but sending signals on different time domain resources.

[0250] Optionally, the first state of the repetition parameter of the N channel resources is used to indicate that the transmission beams of the N channel resources are the same, and the second state of the repetition parameter of the N channel resources is used to indicate that the transmission beams of the N channel resources are different.

[0251] For example, a channel resource set resourceset (for example, NZP-CSI-RS-resourceset) and an interference resource set resourceset are configured in the measurement configuration information. The channel resource set includes N channel resources, and the interference resource set includes M interference resources. When the repetition parameter of the channel resource set is configured to the on state (for example, configured to "on"), the terminal considers that the N channel resources are sent using the same transmission beam on N different OFDM symbols. Conversely, when the repetition parameter of the channel resource set is configured to the off state (for example, configured to "off"), the terminal cannot consider that the N channel resources are sent using the same transmission beam.

[0252] Optionally, the configuration information may also include repetition parameters of the M interference resources, and the states of the repetition parameters of the M interference resources are used to indicate whether the transmission beams of the M interference resources are the same.

[0253] Specifically, when the repetition parameter of the interference resource set is configured to be in an on state (for example, configured to be "on"), the terminal considers that the M interference resources are sent using the same transmission beam on M different OFDM symbols. Conversely, when the repetition parameter of the interference resource set is configured to be in an off state (for example, configured to be "off"), the terminal cannot consider that the M interference resources are sent using the same transmission beam.

[0254] It is understandable that the present application does not limit the size relationship between N and M. For example, N may be greater than M, or equal to M, or less than M.

[0255] Optionally, when the first state of the repetition parameter of the N channel resources is used to indicate that the transmission beams of the N channel resources are the same and the transmission beams of the M interference resources are different, the measurement report includes at least one measurement result and an index of the channel resource corresponding to the at least one measurement result.

[0256] Specifically, when the repetition parameter of the above-mentioned channel resource set is configured to be turned on (for example, configured to "on"), and the repetition parameter of the interference resource set is configured to be turned off (for example, configured to "off"), the terminal believes that N channel resources use the same transmission beam, while M interference resources do not necessarily use the same transmission beam. In this case, when the terminal reports the measurement result through the measurement report, it needs to report the index of the channel resource. In other words, if the network device configures a channel resource set resourceSet and a corresponding interference measurement resource set resourceSet for the terminal, if the repetition parameter of the channel resource set resourceSet is configured to be turned on (for example, configured to "on"), and the repetition parameter of the interference measurement resource set resourceSet is configured to be turned off (for example, configured to "off"), the terminal needs to report the index of the channel resource. The channel resource index is associated with an interference resource index, and the interference resource index can be determined by the channel resource index. That is to say, when the terminal device wants to report an interference resource index, it can report the index of the channel resource associated with the interference resource instead of directly reporting the index of the interference resource. Alternatively, in this case, the terminal device can directly report the index of the interference resource when reporting the measurement result through the measurement report. That is to say, if the network device configures a channel resource set resourceSet and a corresponding interference measurement resource set resourceSet for the terminal, if the repetition parameter of the channel resource set resourceSet is configured to the on state (for example, configured to "on"), and the repetition parameter of the interference measurement resource set resourceSet is configured to the off state (for example, configured to "off"), then the terminal needs to report the index of the interference resource.

[0257] One beneficial effect of the above method is that the N channel resources correspond to the N interference resources one by one when N is equal to M. By reporting the index of the channel resource, the terminal can obtain the information of the interference resource, that is, the interference resource corresponding to each reported SINR, which can improve the performance of data transmission.

[0258] It should be noted that when the repetition parameters of the above-mentioned channel resource set and the interference resource set are configured to be turned on (for example, configured to "on"), the terminal believes that the above-mentioned N channel resources use the same transmission beam, and the above-mentioned M interference resources use the same transmission beam. In this case, the terminal does not need to report the index of the channel resource when reporting the interference measurement result. This is because the channel resources and the interference resources only correspond to one beam, and there is no need to report the index of the resource to indicate which beam the measurement result is. In other words, if the network device configures a channel resource set resourceSet and a corresponding interference measurement resource set resourceSet for the terminal, if the repetition parameters of the channel resource set resourceSet and the interference measurement resource set resourceSet are both configured to be turned on (for example, configured to "on"), the terminal does not report the index of the channel resource. Alternatively, if the network device configures a channel resource set resourceSet and a corresponding interference measurement resource set resourceSet for the terminal, if the repetition parameters of the channel resource set resourceSet and the interference measurement resource set resourceSet are both configured to be turned on (for example, configured to be "on"), the terminal does not report the index of the channel resource, nor does it report the index of the interference resource. The above method can save reporting overhead.

[0259] In another implementation, it can be directly stipulated that the interference resource set adopts the same repetition parameter value as the channel resource set associated with it. Alternatively, when the interference resource set is configured with the value of the repetition parameter, the interference resource set adopts the same repetition parameter value as the channel resource set associated with it. For example, when the repetition parameter of the channel resource set is configured to be turned on (for example, configured to "on"), and the repetition parameter of its associated interference resource set is not configured, the terminal can assume that the above-mentioned interference resource set is also sent using a single transmit beam. At this time, the terminal does not need to report the index of the channel resource. Specifically, if the network device configures a channel resource set resourceSet and a corresponding interference measurement resource set resourceSet for the terminal device, if the repetition parameter of the channel resource set resourceSet is configured to be turned on (for example, configured to "on"), and the interference measurement resource set resourceSet is not configured with the repetition parameter, the terminal device does not report the index of the channel resource.
