Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and medium for transmitting and receiving beam measurement result reports. Background Technology

[0002] In New Radio (NR) technology, the communication frequency band is relatively high; for example, in Frequency Range 2 (FR2), the communication frequency reaches above 6 GHz. Because high-frequency channels attenuate quickly, beam-based transmission and reception are required to ensure coverage.

[0003] In related technologies, the terminal communicates with the network device only through the serving cell. After measuring the beam of the serving cell, the terminal sends a beam measurement result report to the network device. Based on the beam measurement result report reported by the terminal, the network device selects a suitable beam for the serving cell and uses the selected beam to transmit data with the terminal.

[0004] When a terminal is located in a position where the coverage areas of the serving cell and the neighboring cell overlap, the beams of both the serving cell and the neighboring cell can provide good service to the terminal. Selecting a beam for the terminal based solely on the beam measurement results of the serving cell will limit the terminal's data transmission performance. Summary of the Invention

[0139] In step 304, the terminal receives a reference signal.

[0140] In step 304, the terminal uses at least one antenna panel to receive a reference signal based on the beam measurement configuration information. In different transmission environments, for any reference signal transmitted by the network device, the terminal may have one or more antenna panels capable of receiving the reference signal, or the terminal may have no antenna panel capable of receiving the reference signal.

[0141] For the terminal, if it receives two reference signals using different antenna panels, it means the terminal supports simultaneous transmission of the beams corresponding to those two reference signals. Alternatively, if the terminal receives two reference signals using the same receiving beam on the same antenna panel, it also means the terminal supports simultaneous transmission of the beams corresponding to those two reference signals. Therefore, the two beams the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission can be transmitted simultaneously through different antenna panels or through the same antenna panel.

[0142] In step 305, the terminal performs beam measurement based on the received reference signals to obtain the measurement results of the beams corresponding to each reference signal.

[0143] For example, the beam measurement results include at least one of L1-RSRP (Layer 1-Reference Signal Received Power) and L1-SINR (Layer 1-Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio).

[0144] After beam measurement, the terminal will save the identifier of the reference signal and the corresponding measurement results to facilitate the generation of beam measurement result reports.

[0145] Optionally, the beam measurement results may also include interference indication information, which is used to indicate the interference situation between at least two beams within the same beam group.

[0146] For example, the interference indication information includes first interference indication information for indicating that the first beam is subject to interference including interference from the second beam, and / or second interference indication information for indicating that the first beam is subject to interference other than the second beam, wherein the first beam is any one of the at least two beams, and the second beam is another beam among the at least two beams other than the first beam.

[0147] In some examples, both the first interference indication information and the second interference indication information are L1-SINR values. For instance, the interference indication information is equal to the received power of the first beam divided by the sum of the interference value and the noise power. In the first interference indication information, the interference value from the second beam is greater than 0, meaning the network device's transmit power in the direction of the second beam is greater than 0. In the second interference indication information, the interference value from the second beam is equal to 0, meaning the network device's transmit power in the direction of the second beam is equal to 0. Here, the interference value of the second beam is equal to the received power of the second beam.

[0148] In other examples, both the first interference indication information and the second interference indication information are interference values. For example, in the first interference indication information, the interference value from the second beam is greater than 0, and in the second interference indication information, the interference value from the second beam is equal to 0, where the interference value from the second beam is equal to the received power of the second beam.

[0149] By including interference indication information in the beam measurement result report, network devices can determine whether to use at least two beams from the same beam group to simultaneously transmit data with the terminal, and whether the information content transmitted on the two beams is the same when using at least two beams from the same beam group to transmit data with the terminal simultaneously, thereby further improving data transmission performance. For example, if the interference indication information indicates that the first beam is strongly interfered with by the second beam, then only the first beam or the second beam is used to transmit data with the terminal; or, the first beam and the second beam are used simultaneously to transmit data with the terminal, and the same information content is transmitted to the terminal through the first beam and the second beam to reduce interference during data transmission.

[0150] In step 306, the terminal sends a beam measurement result report.

[0151] Optionally, the terminal may send beam measurement result reports in ways including but not limited to periodic reporting, semi-static reporting, or aperiodic reporting. Optionally, beam measurement result reports may be sent via UCI (uplink control information), which may be sent via PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) or PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel).

[0152] Optionally, the method of sending beam measurement result reports is indicated by the network device, for example, by the network device through one or more combinations of RRC signaling, MAC (Medium Access Control) signaling, and DCI (Downlink Control Information) signaling.

[0153] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in addition to the beam measurement results, the beam measurement result report also includes a beam identifier. Optionally, the beam identifier includes an identifier of the reference signal corresponding to the beam. Optionally, the beam identifier also includes at least one of the cell identifier corresponding to the beam and the TRP identifier corresponding to the beam.

[0154] Optionally, the beam measurement result report further includes first indication information. In one possible implementation, the first indication information is used to indicate beams simultaneously transmitted using filters in the same spatial domain of the terminal; and / or, the first indication information is used to indicate beams simultaneously transmitted using filters in different spatial domains of the terminal.

[0155] For example, the spatial domain filter includes a receive filter and a transmit filter. In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first indication information includes an identifier of the receive filter of the terminal corresponding to the beam. Based on the identifier of the receive filter of the terminal corresponding to the beam, the network device can identify which beam terminals use the same receive filter to support simultaneous transmission and which beam terminals use different receive filters to support simultaneous transmission.

[0156] In another possible implementation, the first indication information is used to indicate beams transmitted simultaneously using the same antenna panel of the terminal; and / or, the first indication information is used to indicate beams transmitted simultaneously using different antenna panels of the terminal.

[0157] For example, the first indication information includes an identifier of the antenna panel of the terminal corresponding to the beam. Based on the identifier of the antenna panel of the terminal corresponding to the beam, the network device can identify which beam terminals use the same antenna panel to support simultaneous transmission and which beam terminals use different antenna panels to support simultaneous transmission.

[0158] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the beam measurement result report is a group-based beam measurement result report. The group-based beam measurement result report includes beam measurement result reports for at least one beam group, each beam group including at least two beams; alternatively, the group-based beam measurement result report includes beam measurement result reports for at least two beam groups, each beam group including at least one beam. That is, the beam measurement result report includes beam measurement result reports for at least two beams, where at least one of the at least two beams is a beam from a neighboring cell of the terminal.

[0159] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the beam measurement result report includes identifiers of M reference signals and measurement values ​​of the M reference signals. The M reference signals are M reference signals transmitted through the N reference signal resources, where M is an integer greater than 0 and M is not greater than N. As mentioned above, for a certain reference signal transmitted by the network device, the terminal may receive the reference signal, or it may not receive the reference signal or the received power may be too low. Therefore, the number of reference signal identifiers in the beam measurement result report is less than or equal to the number of reference signals transmitted by the network device, that is, M is less than or equal to N.

[0160] In some examples, group-based beam measurement results reports include beam measurement results reports for at least one beam group, each beam group comprising at least two beams. The beams within each beam group are the beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission.

[0161] For example, suppose the beam measurement result report includes beam measurement results for three beam groups: beam group 1 includes beams 11 and 12, beam group 2 includes beams 21 and 22, and beam group 3 includes beam 31. Beams 11 and 12 are the beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission, and beams 21 and 22 are the beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission.

[0162] Optionally, in this case, the beams from different beam groups are beams that the terminal does not support for simultaneous transmission.

[0163] In other examples, group-based beam measurement results reports include beam measurement results reports from at least two beam groups, with beams from different beam groups being beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission.

[0164] For example, according to the order in which the beam measurement result reports are arranged within the beam measurement result reports of their respective beam groups, beams located at the same position in the beam measurement result reports of different beam groups are the beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission.

[0165] For example, the beam measurement result report includes beam measurement result reports for two beam groups: beam group 1 includes beams 11 and 12, and beam group 2 includes beams 21 and 22. The beam measurement result reports for beams 11 and 21 are listed first in their respective beam group reports, therefore beams 11 and 21 are the beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission. Similarly, beams 12 and 22 are the beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission.

[0166] For example, suppose there is a beam in a beam group that the terminal does not support simultaneous transmission with any other beam. In this case, the beam measurement result report for the position corresponding to that beam in the beam measurement result report of other beam groups will be empty.

[0167] Optionally, in this case, the beams within each beam group are beams that the terminal does not support for simultaneous transmission.

[0168] In some other examples, the group-based beam measurement results report includes beam measurement results reports for at least one beam group, each beam group including beams received by the same spatial filter of the terminal, or each beam group including beams received by the same antenna panel of the terminal.

[0169] In this case, the beam measurement result report also includes second indication information, which indicates that the terminal supports beams that can be transmitted simultaneously. Optionally, the second indication information may also indicate that the terminal does not support beams that can be transmitted simultaneously.

[0170] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal supports the simultaneous transmission of at least two beams corresponding to at least two different transmit / receive points (TRPs). The at least two TRPs correspond to the same serving cell, or the at least two TRPs include the TRP of the corresponding serving cell and the TRP of the corresponding neighboring cell, or the at least two TRPs correspond to the same neighboring cell.

[0171] In step 307, the network device receives a beam measurement result report.

[0172] After receiving the beam measurement result report sent by the terminal, the network device selects the appropriate beam to transmit data with the terminal based on the at least two beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission as indicated in the beam measurement result report, thereby improving the terminal's throughput.

[0173] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by including a beam measurement result report of at least one beam of a neighboring cell in the beam measurement result report, the network device can dynamically switch between the beam of the serving cell and the beam of the neighboring cell based on the beam measurement result reports of the serving cell and the beam measurement result reports of the neighboring cells in the beam measurement result report, thereby improving the data transmission performance of the terminal.

[0174] In some embodiments, at least two TRPs corresponding to at least two beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous transmission correspond to the same serving cell. In this case, the serving cell has better communication performance, and the network device selects the beam with better performance corresponding to the serving cell and transmits data with the terminal based on the beam measurement result report.

[0175] In other embodiments, the at least two TRPs corresponding to the at least two beams that the terminal supports transmitting simultaneously include the TRP of the serving cell and the TRP of the neighboring cell. In this case, the terminal is typically located at the edge of the serving cell, in the overlapping area of ​​the coverage of the serving cell and the neighboring cell. The network device simultaneously uses the beams of the serving cell and the neighboring cell to transmit data with the terminal, thereby improving transmission performance. Furthermore, when the beam measurement results obtained by the terminal are unstable, for example, in the beam measurement results measured by a certain antenna panel of the terminal, the beam measurement results corresponding to the serving cell and the neighboring cell are not significantly different, and the beam measurement results corresponding to the serving cell are better than those corresponding to the neighboring cell for a period of time, and the beam measurement results corresponding to the neighboring cell are better than those corresponding to the serving cell for another period of time, the network device simultaneously uses the beams of the serving cell and the neighboring cell to transmit data with the terminal. On the one hand, this can improve the throughput of the terminal; on the other hand, it eliminates the need for the terminal to switch back and forth between the serving cell and the neighboring cell, which helps to save signaling overhead and reduce latency.

[0176] In other embodiments, the at least two TRPs corresponding to at least two beams that the terminal supports simultaneous transmission for both correspond to the same neighboring cell. In this case, the terminal is typically located at the edge of the serving cell, and data transmission performance via the neighboring cell is better than data transmission via the serving cell. The terminal can switch from the serving cell to the neighboring cell, and the network device belonging to the neighboring cell can quickly use the better-performing beam to transmit data with the terminal based on the measurement results of the beam corresponding to the neighboring cell, facilitating rapid cell handover. Alternatively, the network device can use the beam of the neighboring cell to transmit data with the terminal, ensuring terminal throughput while avoiding the ping-pong effect caused by frequent handovers.
