[0002] In the fifth generation mobile communication system (5th generation, 5G), high-frequency communication can use analog beam technology, and perform weighted processing through a large-scale antenna array to concentrate the signal energy in a smaller range to form a signal similar to a light beam (called an analog beam, or beam for short), thereby increasing the transmission distance. Network equipment and terminal equipment can determine the transmission beam on the network side and the receiving beam on the terminal side through beam measurement. When performing beam measurement, the network equipment can configure channel resources and interference resources for beam measurement for the terminal equipment, wherein the channel resources are used for channel measurement and the interference resources are used to measure the energy of the interference signal. The network equipment sends reference signals on the configured channel resources and interference resources respectively, so that the terminal equipment performs beam measurement by measuring the reference signals transmitted on the channel resources and interference resources, and determines the transmission beam on the network side and the receiving beam on the terminal side.

[0045] In a possible design, the preset condition may be: the time-frequency resources occupied by the channel resources and the time-frequency resources occupied by the first CORESET contain the same OFDM symbol, the time-frequency resources occupied by the interference resources and the time-frequency resources occupied by the second CORESET contain the same OFDM symbol, and the first CORESET and the second CORESET correspond to different receiving beams. In the above design, when the receiving beams of the first CORESET and the second CORESET are different, the resource conflict problem between the channel resources and the first CORESET and the resource conflict problem between the interference resources and the second CORESET cannot be solved at the same time. In this case, by giving up the measurement of the interference resources, the problem of inaccurate measurement results due to the inability to receive both the channel resources and the interference resources can be avoided.
[0046] In one possible design, the preset condition is that the time-frequency resources occupied by the interference resource and the time-frequency resources occupied by the CORESET contain the same OFDM symbol. In the above design, when the interference resource conflicts with the CORESET resource, by giving up the measurement of the interference resource, the problem of inaccurate measurement results due to the inability to receive both the channel resource and the interference resource can be avoided.
[0047] In a possible design, when the channel resource and the interference resource meet the preset condition, the interference resource is not received. In the above design, the power consumption of the terminal device can be reduced by giving up receiving and measuring the interference resource.
[0048] In one possible design, the channel resources may be CSI-RS resources or SS / PBCH blocks.
[0049] In one possible design, the interference resource may be a CSI-RS resource, SSB or CSI-IM.

In an embodiment of the present application, when the channel resource corresponds to the same receiving beam as the CORESET, even if the channel resource and the CORESET include the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device can use the same receiving beam to receive the channel resource and the CORESET, thereby solving the problem of resource conflict.
[0055] In the sixth aspect, a measurement reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal device, or a chip or chipset in a terminal device, and the method includes: receiving measurement configuration information from a network device, the measurement configuration information is used to configure channel resources and interference resources, wherein, when performing SINR measurement or channel quality indicator (CQI) measurement, channel resources and interference resources are configured on OFDM symbols other than the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM symbols occupied by CORESET; measurement is performed according to at least one configured channel resource and the interference resources corresponding to each channel resource. In an embodiment of the present application, when performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, the problem of conflict between channel resources, interference resources and CORESET resources can be avoided by avoiding the OFDM symbols occupied by CORESET.
[0056] In the seventh aspect, a measurement reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal device, or a chip or chipset in a terminal device, and the method includes: receiving measurement configuration information from a network device, the measurement configuration information is used to configure channel resources and interference resources, wherein, when at least one of the following is met: the channel resources meet the first condition, the interference resources meet the second condition, and the interference resources are allowed to be configured on the OFDM symbols occupied by the CORESET; and measurements are performed according to the configured channel resources and interference resources. In an embodiment of the present application, when certain conditions are met, interference resources are allowed to be on the OFDM symbols occupied by the CORESET, which can improve resource utilization.
[0057] In one possible design, the preset condition is: the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource is configured to be off, and the interference resource and the CORESET correspond to the same receiving beam. The solution to resource conflict in the R15 protocol is that when the repetition parameter of the resource set to which it belongs is configured to be off, the channel resource can be configured on the OFDM symbol corresponding to the CORESET, but the same receiving beam is required to receive the channel resource and the CORESET. In the above design, since the interference resource and the CORESET correspond to the same receiving beam, according to the R15 protocol, when the same beam is used to receive the channel resource and the CORESET, it can be ensured that the channel resource and the interference resource use the same receiving beam, so that the SINR can be accurately measured.
[0058] In a possible design, the preset condition may be: the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured to be closed, and the channel resource and the CORESET correspond to the same receiving beam. Through the above design, since the channel resource and the CORESET correspond to the same receiving beam, and the channel resource and the interference resource correspond to the same receiving beam, the channel resource, the interference resource and the CORESET can be received using the same receiving beam, so that the channel resource, the interference resource and the CORESET can be received at the same time.

[0060] In a possible design, the first condition is: the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the interference resource is configured to be closed, and the interference resource and CORESET correspond to different receiving beams. Since the interference resource and CORESET correspond to different receiving beams, when the same receiving beam is used to receive the channel resource and CORESET according to R15, it may cause the channel resource and the interference resource to correspond to different receiving beams. The above design, by making the interference resource avoid the OFDM occupied by CORESET, can ensure that the channel resource and the interference resource can use the same receiving beam when the R15 protocol is used to resolve resource conflicts, thereby improving the accuracy of measuring SINR and CQI.
[0061] In one possible design, the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured to be off, and the channel resource and the CORESET correspond to different receiving beams. Since the channel resource and the CORESET correspond to different receiving beams, and the channel resource and the interference resource correspond to compatible receiving beams, the interference resource and the CORESET correspond to different receiving beams. In the above design, by avoiding the CORESET including the same OFDM symbol when configuring the interference resource, the conflict between the interference resource and the CORESET resource can be avoided.
[0062] In the ninth aspect, a measurement reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application can be applied to a terminal device, or a chip or chipset in a terminal device, and the method includes: receiving two types of measurement configuration information from a network device, wherein the measurement configuration information is used to configure channel resources and interference resources, wherein the channel resources configured by the first measurement configuration information and the interference resources configured by the second measurement configuration information are both first resources. Determine the measurement reporting method of the first measurement configuration information and the second measurement configuration information based on whether the TCI-state of the first resource is the same as the TCI-state of the channel resource configured by the second measurement configuration information.
[0063] In one possible design, if the first resource is configured with a TCI-state, when the TCI-state of the first resource is the same as the TCI-state of the channel resource configured by the second measurement configuration information, the TCI-state can be used to receive the first resource and perform measurement.
[0064] In one possible design, if the first resource is configured with a TCI-state, when the TCI-state of the first resource is different from the TCI-state of the channel resource configured by the second measurement configuration information, the TCI-state configured by the network device is used for measurement. In addition, the measurement report corresponding to the second measurement configuration information is abandoned or the measurement result of the second measurement configuration information is determined only by measuring the channel resource configured by the second measurement configuration information.
[0065] In one possible design, if the first resource is configured with a TCI-state, and the TCI-state of the first resource is different from the TCI-state of the channel resource configured by the second measurement configuration information, the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the first resource in the second measurement configuration information is used for measurement.

[0067] In one possible design, if the first resource is not configured with a TCI-state, the first resource is measured using the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the first resource in the second measurement configuration information.

If the first resource is configured with a TCI-state, the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the first resource in the second measurement configuration information is the same as the TCI-state configured for the first resource.

[0131] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following terms related to the embodiments of the present application are introduced:
[0132] 1. Beam
[0133] The embodiment of the beam in the new radio (NR) protocol can be a spatial domain filter, or a spatial filter, or a spatial parameter (such as a spatial reception parameter and a spatial transmission parameter). The beam used to send a signal can be called a transmission beam (Tx beam), or a spatial domain transmission filter, a spatial transmission filter, a spatial domain parameter, or a spatial transmission parameter. The beam used to receive a signal can be called a reception beam (Rx beam), or a spatial domain reception filter, a spatial reception filter, a spatial domain reception parameter, or a spatial reception parameter.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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 or analog beamforming technology.
[0136] Beams generally correspond to resources. For example, when performing beam measurement, the network device measures different beams through different resources. The terminal device feeds back the measured resource quality, and the network device knows the quality of the corresponding beam. During data transmission, beam information is also indicated through its corresponding resources. For example, the network device indicates the information of the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) beam of the terminal device through the resources in the TCI of the downlink control information (DCI).
[0137] Optionally, multiple beams with the same or similar communication characteristics may be considered as one beam. One beam may include one or more antenna ports for transmitting data channels, control channels, and sounding signals, etc. One or more antenna ports forming a beam may also be considered as an antenna port set.
[0138] In downlink beam measurement, the transmit beam refers to the transmit beam of the network device, and the receive beam can refer to the receive beam of the terminal device. In uplink beam measurement, the transmit beam refers to the transmit beam of the terminal device, and the receive beam can refer to the receive beam of the network device. In beam measurement, one beam can correspond to one resource, and the resource index can be used to identify the beam corresponding to the resource. Alternatively, one beam can correspond to multiple resources.
[0139] 2. Resources
[0140] The resources corresponding to the beam can be uplink signal resources or downlink signal resources. Uplink signals include but are not limited to: sounding reference signal (SRS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS), etc. Downlink signals include but are not limited to: CSI-RS, CSI-IM, cell specific reference signal (CS-RS), UE dedicated reference signal (US-RS), DMRS, and SS / PBCH block, etc. Among them, SS / PBCH block can be referred to as synchronization signal block (SSB).
[0141] Resources can be configured through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. In terms of configuration structure, a resource can be 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 an index to identify the resource of the uplink / 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.
[0142] The resources corresponding to the beam may include channel resources and interference resources.
[0143] 2.1 Channel Resources
[0144] Channel resources refer to the resources configured by the network equipment for channel measurement. Channel resources can be used to measure channel information such as RSRP, CQI, and SINR. In uplink beam measurement, channel resources can be SRS resources. In downlink beam measurement, channel resources can be CSI-RS resources or SSB. When measuring CQI and SINR, interference resources also need to be configured.
[0145] 2.2 Interference Resources
[0146] Interference resources refer to resources configured by network equipment for channel measurement. In uplink beam measurement, interference resources can be SRS resources. In downlink beam measurement, interference resources can be CSI-RS resources, SSB or CSI-IM resources. When measuring channel information such as CQI and SINR, these interference resources are used as interference sources to calculate CQI and SINR together with channel resources. For example, when measuring the SINR of a channel resource over an interference resource, the energy of the channel resource can be used as the numerator and the energy of the interference resource as the denominator to calculate the SINR.
[0147] 3. Quasi-collocation (QCL):
[0148] Quasi co-location can also be called quasi co-station or co-location.
[0149] The signals corresponding to the antenna ports having a QCL relationship may have the same or similar spatial characteristic parameters (or called parameters), or the spatial characteristic parameters (or called parameters) of one antenna port may be used to determine the spatial characteristic parameters (or called parameters) of another antenna port having a QCL relationship with the antenna port, or the two antenna ports have the same or similar spatial characteristic parameters (or called parameters), or the difference in the spatial characteristic parameters (or called parameters) between the two antenna ports is less than a certain threshold.
[0150] It should be understood that the spatial characteristic parameters of two reference signals or channels that satisfy the QCL relationship are the same (or close, or similar), so that the spatial characteristic parameters of the target reference signal can be inferred based on the source reference signal resource index.
[0151] It should also be understood that the spatial characteristic parameters of two reference signals or channels that satisfy the spatial correlation information are the same (or close, or similar), so that the spatial characteristic parameters of the target reference signal can be inferred based on the source reference signal resource index.
[0152] The spatial characteristic parameters include one or more of the following parameters:
[0153] Angle of arrival (angle of arrival, AoA), dominant angle of incidence AoA, average angle of incidence, power angular spectrum of incidence (power angular spectrum, PAS), angle of departure (angle of departure, AoD), dominant departure angle, average departure angle, power angular spectrum of departure angle, terminal device transmit beamforming, terminal device receive beamforming, spatial channel correlation, network device transmit beamforming, network device receive beamforming, average channel gain, average channel delay, delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, spatial Rx parameters, etc.
[0154] The above angles may be decomposition values of different dimensions, or a combination of decomposition values of different dimensions.
[0155] Four types of QCL are defined in the existing standards. Network equipment can configure one or more types of QCL for terminal equipment at the same time, such as QCL type A+D, C+D:
[0156] QCL types A: Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread.
[0157] QCL types B: Doppler shift, Doppler spread.
[0158] QCL types C: average delay, Doppler shift.
[0159] QCL types D: Spatial Rx parameter.
[0160] When the QCL relationship refers to a QCL relationship of type D, it can be considered as spatial QCL. When the antenna port satisfies the spatial QCL relationship, it can be a QCL relationship (also called spatial relation) between the port of the downlink signal and the port of the downlink signal, or between the port of the uplink signal and the port of the uplink signal, and the two signals can have the same AoA or AoD, which is used to indicate that they have the same receiving beam or transmitting beam. For another example, for the QCL relationship between the downlink signal and the uplink signal or between the ports of the uplink signal and the downlink signal, the AOA and AOD of the two signals can have a corresponding relationship, or the AOD and AOA of the two signals can have a corresponding relationship, that is, the beam reciprocity can be used to determine the uplink transmitting beam according to the downlink receiving beam, or to determine the downlink receiving beam according to the uplink transmitting beam.
[0161] The signals transmitted on the ports having the spatial QCL relationship can also be understood as receiving or sending signals using the same spatial filter. The spatial filter can be at least one of the following: precoding, antenna port weight, antenna port phase deflection, antenna port amplitude gain.
[0162] The signal transmitted on the port with a spatial QCL relationship can also be understood as having a corresponding beam pair link (BPL), and the corresponding BPL includes at least one of the following: the same downlink BPL, the same uplink BPL, an uplink BPL corresponding to the downlink BPL, and a downlink BPL corresponding to the uplink BPL.
[0163] Therefore, the spatial reception parameter (ie, QCL of type D) may be understood as a parameter for indicating the directional information of the reception beam.
[0164] In the examples of the present application, the correspondence between certain parameters can also be applied to the scenarios described by QCL.
[0165] It should be understood that the scenario applicable to the QCL assumption in the present application may also be two reference signals, or further may be an association relationship between transmission objects.
[0166] 4. Beam measurement
[0167] Beam measurement can be used to measure the quality of a beam, such as measuring the RSRP or SINR of a beam. Taking the following beam measurement as an example, the measurement process mainly includes the following four steps:
[0168] S1, the network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal device. The measurement configuration information mainly includes two parts: resource configuration information and reporting configuration information. The resource configuration information is used to configure resources, which may include channel resources. When measuring CQI and SINR, the resources may also include interference resources.
[0169] S2. The network device sends a downlink signal on a resource element corresponding to the resource configured by the resource configuration information, so that the terminal device determines the quality of each resource (ie, the quality of the beam corresponding to the resource) by measuring the downlink signal.
[0170] S3. The terminal device measures the downlink signal according to the measurement configuration information.
[0171] S4. The terminal device sends a beam measurement report to the network device.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 5. Repetition Configuration
[0174] In the configuration signaling, resources are included in the resource set. The network device can configure a resource set for the terminal device, which includes one or more resources. The network device can configure the repetition parameter for the resource set, and the specific value can be configured to be turned on 'on' or turned off 'off'. When configured to 'on', it means that the resources in the resource set are all sent using the same transmit beam. At this time, the terminal device will use different receive beams to measure each resource separately, thereby realizing the scanning of the receive beam and determining which receive beam is the best. When configured to 'off', it means that the resources in the resource set are not sent using the same transmit beam. At this time, the terminal device is not required to use different receive beams to measure each resource.
[0175] 6. CORESET
[0176] CORESET is a configuration unit in configuration signaling. Each CORESET includes a series of configuration parameters related to the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), such as the OFDM symbol occupied by the PDCCH, the receiving beam of the PDCCH, etc. The terminal device uses the corresponding receiving beam to receive the PDCCH on the corresponding OFDM symbol according to the CORESET configuration.
[0177] 7. TCI status:
[0178] TCI is used to indicate the QCL information of a signal or channel. The channel may be PDCCH / CORESET or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The signal may be CSI-RS, DMRS, tracking reference signal (TRS), etc. TCI information means that the reference signal included in TCI satisfies the QCL relationship with the channel or signal, and is mainly used to indicate that when a signal or channel is received, its spatial characteristic parameters and other information are the same, similar, or close to the spatial characteristic parameters and other information of the reference signal included in TCI.
[0179] A TCI state can configure one or more referenced reference signals and the associated QCL type (QCLtype). QCL types can be divided into four categories: A / B / C / D, which are different combinations or selections of {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, spatial Rx parameter}. The TCI state includes QCL information, or the TCI state is used to indicate QCL information.

For example, the terminal device may also be a personal communication service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and other devices. Common terminal devices include, for example, mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, mobile internet devices (MIDs), wearable devices, such as smart watches, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc., but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The terminal devices involved in the embodiments of the present application may also be terminal devices that appear in the future evolved PLMN, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0186] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can also be a terminal device in an IoT system. IoT is an important part of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology, thereby realizing an intelligent network of human-machine interconnection and object-to-object interconnection.

[0189] The network architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. A person of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that with the evolution of the network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.
[0190] 5G uses high-frequency communication, that is, it uses ultra-high frequency band (e.g. >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 can use 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.
[0191] During downlink transmission, the network device can generate different beams pointing to different transmission directions. The specific beam used for transmission is determined by the downlink beam measurement process. Specifically, the network device can configure a group of channel resources and a group of interference resources for the terminal device through measurement configuration information. Each channel resource corresponds to a beam, which is used to measure the quality of the beam corresponding to each channel resource, such as SINR, and then select several resources with the largest SINR, and report the indexes of these resources and the corresponding SINR to the network device. The interference resource is used to measure the interference received during the transmission of the beam corresponding to the channel resource, so as to calculate the SINR of the channel resource. To measure the SINR of a channel resource under the interference of an interference resource, the channel resource and the interference resource need to use the same receiving beam. That is, the terminal device uses the same receiving beam to receive the measurement signals on the channel resource and the interference resource, and calculates the corresponding SINR.
[0192] The resources configured by the network device for beam measurement and the OFDM symbols corresponding to the CORESET may be the same or overlapped, for example Figure 3 , thus causing resource conflicts.
[0193] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a measurement reporting method and device, which can solve the conflict problem of channel resources, interference resources and CORESET resources when performing SINR measurement. Among them, the method and the device are based on the same inventive concept. Since the principles of solving the problem by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.
[0194] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to measure parameters such as SINR and CQI of a beam. For the convenience of description, the following is an example of measuring the SINR of a beam. It should be understood that the following is only an exemplary description and does not specifically limit the measurement parameters. In a specific implementation, SINR can be replaced by other measurement indicators such as CQI and RSRQ. SINR in this application can also be referred to as L1-SINR, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of this application.
[0195] The resource set involved in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a resource set, or may refer to a resource setting and a resource configuration.
[0196] The resource conflicts involved in the embodiments of the present application can be understood as having the same OFDM symbol, or there is an overlap of OFDM symbols. It can be understood that having the same OFDM symbol can refer to having exactly the same OFDM symbol, or partially the same OFDM symbol, that is, some OFDM symbols are overlapping. For example, a CSI-RS resource uses one OFDM symbol, and a CORESET uses 3 OFDM symbols. A CSI-RS resource has or uses the same symbol as a CORESET, which means that the symbol used by the CSI-RS resource is the same as one of the three symbols used by the CORESET.
[0197] In the embodiment of the present application, the repetition parameter is configured to be turned on, which may refer to the repetition configuration being 'on', or other forms may be used to replace "on" to indicate the form of turning on, such as "open", "yes", "1", etc. The repetition parameter is configured to be turned off, which may refer to the repetition configuration being "off", or other forms may be used to replace "off" to indicate the form of turning on, such as "close", "no", "0", etc.
[0198] It can be understood that the OFDM symbols occupied by CORESET may specifically refer to the OFDM symbols occupied by the blind search space (search space) associated with CORESET.
[0199] The resources (such as channel resources, interference resources) in the embodiments of the present application may be non-zero power channel state information reference signal (NZP CSI-RS) resources, or channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resources, or zero power channel state information reference signal (ZP CSI-RS) resources, or synchronization signal-broadcast channel resource block (synchronization signal and PBCH block, SSB) resources.
[0200] In the embodiment of the present application, the channel resource and the CORESET have the same receiving beam, which can be understood as the direction of the receiving beam corresponding to the channel resource and the CORESET is the same, and can also refer to the channel resource and the CORESET having a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD, and can also refer to the channel resource and the CORESET using the same TCI-state. Similarly, the interference resource and the CORESET have the same receiving beam, which can be understood as the direction of the receiving beam corresponding to the interference resource and the CORESET is the same, and can also refer to the interference resource and the CORESET having a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD, and can also refer to the interference resource and the CORESET using the same TCI-state.
[0201] In the embodiment of the present application, having / adopting the same TCI-state can be understood as having / adopting the same receive beam, or the same QCL assumption (such as a QCL assumption of type D), or can be understood as the index of the adopted TCI-state is the same, or the reference signal resources contained in the QCL-info of type D in the adopted TCI-state are the same, and can also be understood as having a QCL relationship, for example, a QCL relationship of type D.

[0202] It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "plurality" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b or c can represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a, b and c, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.
[0203] In addition, it should be understood that in the description of this application, words such as "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of distinguishing the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, nor can they be understood as indicating or implying order, nor do they represent number.

[0205] Embodiment 1:
[0206] See also Figure 4 , is a flow chart of a measurement reporting method provided by the present application. The method can be applied to a communication device, a chip, or a chipset, etc. The following is described by taking a communication device as an example. The method includes:
[0207] S401, a network device sends measurement configuration information, where the measurement configuration information is used to configure channel resources and interference resources. Correspondingly, a terminal device receives the measurement configuration information from the network device.
[0208] Among them, one channel resource may correspond to one interference resource, that is, the channel resource and the interference resource may correspond one to one. Alternatively, one channel resource may correspond to multiple interference resources, that is, the channel resource and the interference resource may correspond one to many. Alternatively, multiple channel resources may correspond to one interference resource, that is, the channel resource and the interference resource may correspond many to one.
[0209] In a possible embodiment, the network device may meet the following condition 1 when configuring channel resources and interference resources:
[0210] If the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured to be turned on, the channel resource and its associated interference resources are configured on other OFDM symbols except the OFDM symbols occupied by the CORESET (or the search space associated with the CORESET).
[0211] It can also be understood that if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured to be turned on, the channel resource and its associated interference resources cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol occupied by the CORESET (or the search space associated with the CORESET).
[0212] Alternatively, it can also be understood that if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured to be turned on, the channel resource and its associated interference resources are configured on OFDM symbols not occupied by CORESET (or search space associated with CORESET).

[0215] In an exemplary description, the measurement configuration information may include resource configuration and may also include and reporting configuration. The resource configuration may be used to configure channel resources and interference resources.
[0216] Exemplarily, resource configuration is information related to measurement resources, and can be configured through a three-level structure (resource configuration (resourceConfig) - resource set (resourceSet) - resource (resource)) in the protocol.
[0217] The network device may configure one or more resource configurations for the terminal device.
[0218] In one implementation, resource configuration may configure one or more channel resources. In one implementation, resource configuration may configure a group of channel resources and one or more groups of interference resources. For example, resource configuration may include a resource setting for channel measurement, and one or more resource settings for interference measurement. Each resource setting may include one or more resource sets. Each resource set may include one or more resources. Each resource configuration / resource set / resource may include 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.
[0219] Report configuration may refer to information related to measurement result reporting, which is configured in the protocol through report configuration (reportConfig). The network device may configure one or more reportConfigs for the terminal device, and each report configuration may include reporting indicators, reporting time and period, reporting format and other reporting-related information. In addition, the report configuration may also include an index of resource configuration to indicate the measurement configuration through which the reported result is measured.
[0220] The channel resources and interference resources may specifically refer to channel resources and interference resources used for SINR measurement.
[0221] In one implementation, if the resource configuration configures multiple channel resources, each channel resource may satisfy the above condition one.
[0222] S402, the network device sends the configured channel resources and interference resources.
[0223] S403: The terminal device performs measurements according to the configured channel resources and interference resources.
[0224] In one implementation, after performing measurements according to configured channel resources and interference resources, the terminal device may report the measurement results to the network device.

The process of this method is similar to the process of the measurement reporting method in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, with the difference that the network device in embodiment 1 can meet the following condition 1 when configuring channel resources and interference resources, and the network device in this embodiment 7 can meet the following condition 7 when configuring channel resources and interference resources. The specific process can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.
[0279] Condition seven can be:
[0280] When performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, the channel resources and their associated interference resources are configured on OFDM symbols other than the OFDM symbols occupied by CORESET. It can also be understood that when performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, the channel resources and their associated interference resources cannot be configured on the OFDM symbols occupied by CORESET (or the search space associated with CORESET). Alternatively, it can also be understood that when performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, the channel resources and their associated interference resources are configured on OFDM symbols not occupied by CORESET (or the search space associated with CORESET).

It can also be understood that only one of the channel resource and its corresponding interference resource can use the same symbol as one CORESET, or the channel resource and its corresponding interference resource use the same symbol as the same CORESET.
[0287] In other words, when performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, if the channel resource has the same symbol as the first CORESET, then the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can only be configured on OFDM symbols other than the second CORESET. The second CORESET can refer to any CORESET with a different TCI-state from the first CORESET, and can also be understood as any CORESET with a different QCL relationship (e.g., a typeD QCL relationship) from the first CORESET.

[0291] Alternatively, condition seven can also be:
[0292] When performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, the channel resource and its corresponding interference resource cannot have the same symbol as two CORESETs, that is, they can use the same symbol as at most one of the CORESETs.
[0293] In other words, when performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, the interference resource and its corresponding channel resource cannot have the same sign as two CORESETs, that is, they can use the same sign as at most one of the CORESETs.
[0294] In an exemplary description, if a channel resource has the same symbol as a CORESET, then the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can only be configured on symbols other than any other CORESET.
[0295] It can also be understood that, when performing SINR measurement or CQI measurement, if the channel resource has the same symbol as the first CORESET, the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can only be configured on the following resources: the OFDM symbol occupied by the first CORESET and the OFDM symbols outside all CORESETs.

[0298] In the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 7, when the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be turned on, the OFDM symbol of the channel resource and / or the interference resource cannot be configured with COREEST, or the channel resource and / or the interference resource cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the CORESET is located. A conditional limitation can be further added, that is, when the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be turned on, and the TCI-state of the channel resource and / or the interference resource is different from the TCI-state of the CORESET, the OFDM symbol of the channel resource and / or the interference resource cannot be configured with COREEST, or the channel resource and / or the interference resource cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the CORESET is located. In other words, even if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be turned on, as long as the TCI-state of the channel resource / interference resource is different from the TCI-state of the CORESET, it can be configured on the same symbol. The above further added conditional limitations can be applied to any of the above embodiments 1 to 7, and will not be described in detail here.

Otherwise, it is not possible, that is, the channel resource and its associated interference resource cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the CORESET is located, that is, the channel resource and its associated interference resource can only be configured on other OFDM symbols except the CORESET; or, the CORESET cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource and its associated interference resource are located, that is, the CORESET can only be configured on other OFDM symbols except the channel resource and its associated interference resource.

[0310] When the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the interference resource is configured to be off and / or the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource associated with the interference resource is configured to be off, if the interference resource and the CORESET use the same receiving beam, the channel resource associated with the interference resource and the CORESET can use the same OFDM symbol, which can also be understood as being configured on the same OFDM symbol. On the contrary, it is not possible, that is, the channel resource associated with the interference resource cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the CORESET is located, that is, the channel resource associated with the interference resource can only be configured on other OFDM symbols except the CORESET; or, the CORESET cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource corresponding to the interference resource is located, that is, the CORESET can only be configured on other OFDM symbols except the channel resource corresponding to the interference resource.

[0317] Alternatively, when the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the interference resource are both configured to be closed, if the interference resource has the same symbol as the third CORESET, then the channel resource corresponding to the interference resource can only be configured on symbols other than the fourth CORESET. The second CORESET may refer to any CORESET having a different TCI-state from the third CORESET, and may also be understood to refer to any CORESET having a different QCL relationship (e.g., a typeD QCL relationship) from the CORESET.

[0338] Alternatively, condition eight can also be:
[0339] If two CORESETs have the same receiving beam or TCI-state, and the channel resource and / or the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource have the same TCI-state as the two CORESETs, then the channel resource and the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can use the same symbol as the two CORESETs. Otherwise, it is not possible, that is, if the two CORESETs do not have the same receiving beam, or the channel resource and / or the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource have different TCI-states than the two CORESETs, then the channel resource and the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource cannot have the same symbol as the two CORESETs, that is, the channel resource and the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can use the same symbol as at most one of the two CORESETs.
[0340] In other words, if the channel resource has the same symbol as the first CORESET, then the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can only be configured on symbols other than the second CORESET. The second CORESET can refer to any CORESET with a different TCI-state from the first CORESET, and can also be understood as any CORESET with a different QCL relationship (e.g., a typeD QCL relationship) from the first CORESET.
[0341] It can also be understood that if the channel resource has the same symbol as the first CORESET, the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can only be configured on the following resources: the OFDM symbol occupied by the first CORESET, the OFDM symbol occupied by the CORESET with the same TCI-state as the first CORESET, and the OFDM symbol outside all CORESETs.
[0342] Alternatively, if the interference resource has the same symbol as the third CORESET, then the channel resource corresponding to the interference resource can only be configured on symbols other than the fourth CORESET. The second CORESET may refer to any CORESET having a different TCI-state from the third CORESET, and may also be understood as any CORESET having a different QCL relationship (e.g., a type D QCL relationship) from the CORESET.

[0345] In other words, if a channel resource has the same symbol as a CORESET, then the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can only be configured on symbols other than any other CORESET.
[0346] It can also be understood that when the repetition parameters of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and the repetition parameters of the resource set corresponding to the interference resource are both configured to be closed, if the channel resource has the same symbol as the first CORESET, the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource can only be configured on the following resources: the OFDM symbols occupied by the first CORESET and the OFDM symbols other than all CORESETs.
[0347] Alternatively, if an interference resource has the same symbol as a CORESET, then the channel resource corresponding to the interference resource can only be configured on symbols other than any other CORESET.
[0348] It can also be understood that when the repetition parameters of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and the repetition parameters of the resource set corresponding to the interference resource are both configured to be closed, if the interference resource has the same symbol as the third CORESET, the channel resource corresponding to the interference resource can only be configured on the following resources: the OFDM symbols occupied by the third CORESET and the OFDM symbols outside all CORESETs.
[0349] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 8, CORESET may also be replaced by PDCCH or PDSCH. For example, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be turned on, the PDCCH cannot be transmitted on the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resource and its associated interference resource, that is, the terminal device will not receive the PDCCH on these symbols. Alternatively, on symbols where PDCCH is sent, the channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be turned on cannot be configured. For another example, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource is configured to be turned on, the PDSCH cannot be transmitted on the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resource and its associated interference resource, that is, the terminal device will not receive the PDSCH on these symbols. Alternatively, on symbols where PDSCH is sent, the channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be turned on cannot be configured.
[0350] In any of the above embodiments 1 to 8, CORESET may also be replaced by TRS, or CSI-RS for RSRP measurement, or CSI-RS, SSB for CQI measurement. For example, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be turned on, then the channel resource and the OFDM symbols occupied by its associated interference resources cannot transmit TRS, that is, the terminal device will not receive TRS on these symbols. Alternatively, on the symbols where TRS is sent, the channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be turned on cannot be configured. For another example, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be turned on, then the CSI-RS for RSRP measurement cannot be transmitted on the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resource and its associated interference resources, that is, the terminal device will not receive CSI-RS for RSRP measurement on these symbols. Alternatively, on symbols where CSI-RS for RSRP measurement is sent, channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be turned on cannot be configured. For another example, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or interference resource is configured to be turned on, then the CSI-RS for CQI measurement cannot be transmitted on the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resource and its associated interference resource, that is, the terminal device will not receive the CSI-RS for CQI measurement on these symbols. Alternatively, on symbols where CSI-RS for CQI measurement is sent, channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be turned on cannot be configured. Alternatively, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or interference resource is configured to be turned on, then the SSB cannot be transmitted on the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resource and its associated interference resource, that is, the terminal device will not receive the SSB on these symbols. Alternatively, on symbols with SSB transmission, the repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set cannot be configured to enable channel resources and / or interference resources.
[0351] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 8, CORESET may also be replaced by a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink sharing channel (PUSCH) or an SRS. For example, taking embodiment 1 as an example, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be on, then the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resource and its associated interference resource cannot transmit PUCCH, that is, the terminal device will not send PUCCH on these symbols. Alternatively, on the symbols where PUCCH is sent, the channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be on cannot be configured. For another example, if the repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to the channel resource and / or the interference resource is configured to be on, then the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resource and its associated interference resource cannot transmit PUSCH, that is, the terminal device will not send PUSCH on these symbols. Alternatively, on symbols where PUSCH is sent, the channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be turned on cannot be configured. For another example, if the repetition parameters of the resource set corresponding to the channel resources and / or interference resources are configured to be turned on, SRS cannot be transmitted on the OFDM symbols occupied by the channel resources and their associated interference resources, that is, the terminal device will not send PUCCH on these symbols. Alternatively, on symbols where SRS is sent, the channel resources and / or interference resources whose repetition parameters of the corresponding resource set are configured to be turned on cannot be configured.
[0352] In any of the above embodiments 1 to 8, the conflict mechanism between CSI-RS and CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH / PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS can also be described as follows: In L1-SINR measurement, if a channel resource has a QCL relationship with CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH (such as a typeD QCL relationship), and the repetition parameter of the resource set where the channel resource is located is not configured to be turned on, and the scaling factor N=1, then there is no scheduling restriction on the OFDM symbol where the interference resource associated with the channel resource is located. For example, the above CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH can be transmitted on the OFDM symbol where the interference resource associated with the channel resource is located. Otherwise, on the OFDM symbol where the interference resource associated with the channel resource is located, the terminal does not send PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, and the terminal does not receive PDCCH / PDSCH / other downlink signals (including TRS, CSI-RS for CQI calculation, etc.).
[0353] Alternatively, in L1-SINR measurement, if a channel resource has a QCL relationship with CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH (such as a typeD QCL relationship), and the repetition parameter of the resource set where the channel resource is located is not configured to be turned on, and the scaling factor N=1, then there is no scheduling restriction on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource and its associated interference resource are located. For example, the above-mentioned CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH can be transmitted on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource and its associated interference resource are located. Otherwise, on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource and its associated interference resource are located, the terminal does not send PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, and the terminal does not receive PDCCH / PDSCH / other downlink signals (including TRS, CSI-RS for CQI calculation, etc.).
[0354] Alternatively, in L1-SINR measurement, if a channel resource and / or the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource has a QCL relationship with CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH (such as a typeD QCL relationship), and the repetition parameter of the resource set where the channel resource and / or the interference resource associated with the channel resource is located is not configured to be turned on, and the scaling factor N=1 of the channel resource and / or the interference resource associated with the channel resource, then there is no scheduling restriction on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource and / or its associated interference resource is located. For example, the above-mentioned CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH can be transmitted on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource and / or its associated interference resource is located. Otherwise, on the OFDM symbol where the channel resource and / or its associated interference resource is located, the terminal does not send PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS, and the terminal does not receive PDCCH / PDSCH / other downlink signals (including TRS, CSI-RS for CQI calculation, etc.).
[0355] Optionally, when receiving PDCCH / PDSCH, the terminal performs rate matching at the symbol / resource block group RBG / precoding resource block group PRG / subband / resource block (PRB or VRB) / resource element (RE) level.
[0356] The channel measurement resource may be an NZP CSI-RS resource or an SSB. The interference resource may be an NZP CSI-RS resource or a CSI-IM resource.
[0357] Among them, the scaling factor is predefined by the protocol and is related to the type of resource. For example, for a periodic / semi-continuous CSI-RS whose resource set repetition parameter is configured to be OFF, N=1. For a non-periodic CSI-RS, N=1. For SSB, N=8. In addition, if the association relationship between channel resources and interference resources is a 1-to-M (M>1) mapping, the value of N of the interference resource is equal to M times the value of N of the channel resource. For example, if the value of N of the channel resource determined by the above method is 1, then the value of N of the interference resource is M.
[0358] In the above method, when channel resources and / or interference resources conflict with CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH, CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH is not configured / transmitted on the OFDM symbols of the channel resources and / or interference resources, or channel resources and / or interference resources are not configured / transmitted on the OFDM symbols of CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH. This can be replaced by performing rate matching based on the channel resources and interference resources when transmitting CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH, thereby bypassing the channel resources and / or interference resources.
[0359] Embodiment nine:
[0360] like Figure 5 As shown, a flowchart of another measurement reporting method provided by the present application, the method can be applied to a communication device or a chip or a chipset, etc., and is described below using a communication device as an example. The method includes:
[0361] S501, a network device sends measurement configuration information, where the measurement configuration information is used to configure channel resources and interference resources. Correspondingly, a terminal device receives the measurement configuration information from the network device.
[0362] In an exemplary description, the measurement configuration information may include resource configuration and may also include and reporting configuration. The resource configuration may be used to configure channel resources and interference resources.
[0363] Exemplarily, resource configuration is information related to measurement resources, and can be configured through a three-level structure (resource configuration (resourceConfig) - resource set (resourceSet) - resource (resource)) in the protocol.
[0364] The network device may configure one or more resource configurations for the terminal device.
[0365] In one implementation, resource configuration may configure one or more channel resources, and resource configuration may configure one or more groups of interference resources for a group of channel resources. For example, resource configuration may include one or more resource settings for channel measurement, and one or more resource settings for interference measurement. Each resource setting may include one or more resource sets. Each resource set may include one or more resources. Each resource configuration / resource set / resource may include 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.
[0366] Report configuration may refer to information related to measurement result reporting, which is configured in the protocol through report configuration (reportConfig). The network device may configure one or more reportConfigs for the terminal device, and each report configuration may include reporting indicators, reporting time and period, reporting format and other reporting-related information. In addition, the report configuration may also include an index of resource configuration to indicate the measurement configuration through which the reported result is measured.
[0367] The channel resources and interference resources may specifically refer to channel resources and interference resources used for SINR measurement.
[0368] S503, when the channel resource and a CORESET use the same OFDM symbol, and the interference resource corresponding to the channel and any CORESET do not use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device uses the same receiving beam to receive the channel resource and the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource and the CORESET. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the terminal device believes that the channel resource and the interference resource have a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD with the CORESET. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the terminal device believes that the channel resource and the interference resource use the same TCI-state as the CORESET.
[0369] Alternatively, when the channel resource and a CORESET use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device uses the same receiving beam to receive the channel resource and the interference resource corresponding to the channel resource and the CORESET. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the terminal device considers that the channel resource and the interference resource have a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD with the CORESET. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the terminal device considers that the channel resource and the interference resource use the same TCI-state as the CORESET.
[0370] In one implementation, the terminal device may use the receiving beam of the CORESET to receive channel resources and interference resources.
[0371] In another implementation, the terminal device may also use the receiving beams of the channel resources and the interference resources to receive the CORESET.
[0372] In one implementation, after receiving the channel resources and the interference resources, the terminal device may perform measurements based on the channel resources and the interference resources. Furthermore, the terminal device may also report the measurement results to the network device.
[0373] Exemplarily, when the measurement configuration information configures multiple channel resources and their corresponding interference resources, the terminal device may receive each channel resource and its corresponding interference resource using the method described in step S503 above.
[0374] Embodiment ten:
[0375] like Figure 6 As shown, a flowchart of another measurement reporting method provided by the present application, the method can be applied to a communication device or a chip or a chipset, etc., and is described below using a communication device as an example. The method includes:
[0376] For steps S601 to S602, please refer to the above steps S601 to S602 for details, which will not be repeated here.
[0377] S603, when the channel resource and a CORESET use the same OFDM symbol, and the interference resource corresponding to the channel and any CORESET do not use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device can only measure the channel resource without measuring the interference resource. Alternatively, when the channel resource and a CORESET use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device can only measure the channel resource without measuring the interference resource. It can also be understood that the terminal device determines the SINR only by measuring the channel resource.
[0378] For example, the terminal device may use other energy on the resource element (RE) occupied by the channel resource except the channel resource as interference energy to calculate the SINR. The terminal device may not measure the interference resource. That is, the terminal device may measure the SINR only through the channel resource.
[0379] For another example, the terminal device may not measure the interference resources, and the terminal device may only measure the reference signal received power (reference signal received power, RSRP), the reference signal received quality (reference signal received quality, RSPQ), etc. through the channel resources.
[0380] In one implementation, the terminal device may use the same receiving beam to receive the channel resource and the CORESET. Alternatively, it may also be understood that the terminal device considers that the channel resource and the CORESET have a quasi-colocation relationship of type D. Alternatively, it may also be understood that the terminal device considers that the channel resource and the CORESET use the same TCI-state.
[0381] In one implementation, the terminal device may use the receiving beam of the CORESET to receive channel resources.
[0382] In another implementation, the terminal device may also use a receiving beam of a channel resource to receive the CORESET.
[0383] In a possible implementation, the terminal device may determine that a preset condition is satisfied before executing step S703. Exemplarily, the preset condition may be that the type of channel resource is NZP CSI-RS, and the density of the CSI-RS is 3. Alternatively, the preset condition may also refer to that the type of channel resource is NZP CSI-RS, the density of the CSI-RS is 3, and the number of ports is 1.
[0384] In one implementation, the terminal device performs measurement based on the channel resources. Furthermore, the terminal device may also report the measurement result to the network device.
[0385] Exemplarily, when the measurement configuration information configures multiple channel resources and their corresponding interference resources, the terminal device may receive each channel resource and its corresponding interference resource using the method described in step S603 above.

[0488] like Fig.19 As shown, a flowchart of another measurement reporting method provided by the present application, the method can be applied to a communication device or a chip or a chipset, etc., and is described below using a communication device as an example. The method includes:
[0489] For steps S1901 to S1902, please refer to the above steps S501 to S502 for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0492] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments 9 to 23, CORESET may also be replaced by PDCCH or PDSCH. For example, taking embodiment 9 as an example, if the channel resource and PDSCH use the same symbol, and the interference resource corresponding to the channel does not use the same OFDM symbol as any PDSCH, the terminal device may assume that the PDSCH and the channel resource have a quasi-co-location relationship of type D. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the channel resource to receive the PDSCH. Alternatively, it can also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the PDSCH to receive the channel resource.
[0493] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments 9 to 23, CORESET may also be replaced by TRS, or CSI-RS for RSRP measurement, or CSI-RS for CQI measurement, or SSB. For example, taking embodiment 9 as an example, if the channel resource and TRS use the same symbol, and the interference resource corresponding to the channel and any PDSCH do not use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device may assume that the TRS and the channel resource have a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD. Or it may also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the channel resource to receive the TRS. Or it may also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the TRS to receive the channel resource. For another example, taking embodiment 9 as an example, if the channel resource and TRS use the same symbol, and the interference resource corresponding to the channel and any PDSCH do not use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device may assume that the CSI-RS resource for RSRP measurement has a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD with the channel resource. Or it may also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the channel resource to receive the CSI-RS resource for RSRP measurement. Or it can also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the CSI-RS resource used for RSRP measurement to receive the channel resource. For another example, taking Example 9 as an example, if the channel resource and TRS use the same symbol, and the interference resource corresponding to the channel and any PDSCH do not use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device can assume that the CSI-RS resource used for CQI measurement has a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD with the channel resource. Or it can also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the channel resource to receive the CSI-RS resource used for CQI measurement. Or it can also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the CSI-RS resource used for CQI measurement to receive the channel resource. For another example, taking Example 9 as an example, if the channel resource and TRS use the same symbol, and the interference resource corresponding to the channel and any PDSCH do not use the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device can assume that the SSB has a quasi-colocation relationship of typeD with the channel resource. Or it can also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the receiving beam of the channel resource to receive the SSB. Or it can also be understood that the terminal device needs to use the SSB receiving beam to receive the channel resource.
[0494] The method of the present application can also be applied to cross-cell scenarios, that is, the above-mentioned CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH / PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS / TRS / CSI-RS and the channel resources and / or interference resources used for the above-mentioned SINR measurement may belong to the same cell or to different cells. Regardless of whether they belong to the same cell or different cells, if the channel resources and / or interference resources for SINR measurement are different from the subcarrier spacing corresponding to the CORESET / PDCCH / PDSCH / PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS / TRS / CSI-RS, having the same OFDM symbol may specifically mean that the OFDM symbols of the two overlap in time. For example, when the subcarrier spacing of the channel resources is twice the subcarrier spacing of the CORESET, that is, when the symbol length of the channel resources is half the symbol length of the CORESET, the symbols 0 and 1 of the channel resources overlap with the symbol 0 of the CORESET, and the symbols 2 and 3 of the channel resources overlap with the symbol 1 of the CORESET, and so on.
[0495] When measuring SINR, it is necessary to configure channel resources and corresponding interference resources, and measure SINR through channel resources and interference resources. The interference resources and the corresponding channel resources have a QCL (such as type D QCL) relationship, that is, the receiving beam or TCI-state or QCL assumption participating in the channel resource is used to receive the interference resource. The network device can configure different measurement and reporting configurations for the terminal device to measure and report RSRP and SINR respectively. For example, a reportConfig 1 can be configured, and the reportConfig 1 is associated with the corresponding channel resource for measuring RSRP. Another reportConfig 2 can also be configured, and the reportConfig 2 is associated with the corresponding channel resource and interference resource for measuring SINR. A CSI-RS resource may be used as a channel resource in reportConfig 1 and an interference resource in reportConfig 2 at the same time. At this time, if the network device configures TCI-state for the CSI-RS resource to indicate the receive beam of the CSI-RS, the TCI-state may be different from the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS in reportConfig 2, resulting in the terminal device being unable to complete the RSRP and SINR measurements at the same time. There are the following solutions to this problem.
[0496] Method 1:
[0497] When a CSI-RS resource is configured as a channel resource in reportConfig 1 and an interference resource in reportConfig2 (the interference resource is associated with a channel resource), the reporting amount corresponding to reportConfig 1 and reportConfig 2 can be a combination of one or more of RSRP, SINR, CQI, RSRQ, SIR, SNR, RSSI, PMI, RI, LI, and CRI.
[0498] If the CSI-RS resource is configured with a TCI-state, and the TCI-state configured for the CSI-RS resource is the same as the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig2, the TCI-state is used to receive the CSI-RS resource and perform measurement.
[0499] If the CSI-RS resource is configured with a TCI-state, and the TCI-state configured for the CSI-RS resource is different from the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig2, the terminal device may adopt any of the following methods:
[0500] Method a: Use the TCI-state configured by the network device for measurement. At this time, the measurement corresponding to reportConfig 1 is carried out normally, and the measurement corresponding to reportConfig 2 cannot be carried out normally, so the measurement report corresponding to reportConfig 2 is abandoned, that is, the measurement result of reportConfig2 is not reported; alternatively, the measurement result can be determined only by measuring the channel resources associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig 2. For example, when reportConfig 2 is used to measure and report SINR, the SINR measurement result can be determined only by measuring the channel resources associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig 2. For example, other capabilities other than the channel resource capability on the RE corresponding to the channel resource are used as interference to determine the SINR / RSRQ / CQI of the channel resource.
[0501] Method b: Use the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig 2 for measurement. At this time, the measurement corresponding to reportConfig 2 is performed normally, and the measurement corresponding to reportConfig 1 cannot be performed normally, so the measurement report corresponding to reportConfig 1 is abandoned, that is, the measurement result of reportConfig1 is not reported; or, the terminal device can also use the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig 2 to measure the CSI-RS resource and determine the measurement result of reportConfig 1.
[0502] Method c: According to the reporting priority rule, a reportConfig with a higher priority is selected for measurement reporting, and a reportConfig with a lower priority is abandoned. Specifically, the following priority rules may be adopted.
[0503] For each reportConfig, the priority coefficient may conform to the following formula, where a lower priority coefficient indicates a higher priority.
[0504] Pri(y, k, c, s) = 2·N cells ·M s y+N cells ·M s ·k+M s ·c+s
[0505] Wherein, y is related to the type of reportConfig: for aperiodic reportConfig, y=0; for semi-persistent reportConfig reported through PUSCH, y=1; for semi-persistent reportConfig reported through PUCCH, y=2; for periodic reportConfig, y=3.
[0506] k is related to the reported amount of reportConfig. If the reported amount includes RSRP or SINR, k = 0; otherwise, k = 1;
[0507] c is the index of the cell corresponding to the reportConfig, N cells is the value of the RRC parameter maxNrofServingCells;
[0508] s is the index of reportConfig, and Ms is the value of the RRC parameter maxNrofCSI-ReportConfigurations.
[0509] Method 2:
[0510] When a CSI-RS resource is configured as a channel resource in reportConfig 1 and an interference resource in reportConfig2 (the interference resource is associated with a channel resource), the reporting amount corresponding to reportConfig 1 and reportConfig 2 can be a combination of one or more of RSRP, SINR, CQI, RSRQ, SIR, SNR, RSSI, PMI, RI, LI, and CRI. If the CSI-RS resource is configured with TCI-state, then the TCI-state must be the same as the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig2. That is, the protocol can adopt the above constraints to avoid the situation where the TCI-state configured for the CSI-RS resource is different from the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig2.
[0511] Method 3:
[0512] When a CSI-RS resource is configured as a channel resource in reportConfig 1 and an interference resource in reportConfig2 (the interference resource is associated with a channel resource), the reporting amount corresponding to reportConfig 1 and reportConfig 2 may be a combination of one or more of RSRP, SINR, CQI, RSRQ, SIR, SNR, RSSI, PMI, RI, LI, and CRI. If the CSI-RS resource is not configured with TCI-state, the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig2 is used to measure the CSI-RS resource, thereby determining the measurement results corresponding to reportConfig 1 and reportConfig 2. For example, if the measurement reporting amount of reportConfig 1 is RSRP and the measurement reporting amount of reportConfig 2 is SINR, the terminal device uses the TCI-state of the channel resource associated with the CSI-RS resource in reportConfig2 to measure the CSI-RS resource and calculate the corresponding RSRP.
[0513] The above method can solve the problem of unclear QCL relationship when the same CSI-RS resource is used as a channel resource and an interference resource in different reporting configurations.
[0514] In beam management, the network device can configure a reportConfig to configure the terminal device to measure RSRP or SINR for beam training, that is, to determine the best downlink transmit beam and receive beam. When a reportConfig is used for receive beam training, it is generally not necessary to report the measurement results. In this case, the reportConfig's reporting amount can be configured as 'None'. When the reporting amount is configured as 'None', the terminal device can determine whether to perform receive beam training by measuring RSRP or SINR by the following method.
[0515] Specifically, when the reporting quantity reportQuantity of a reportConfig is configured as 'None', the terminal device measures RSRP by default. Or the terminal device measures SINR by default.
[0516] Alternatively, when the reportQuantity of a reportConfig is configured as 'None' and the reportConfig is associated with more than one resource setting, the terminal device needs to measure SINR. When the reportQuantity of a reportConfig is configured as 'None' and the reportConfig is associated with only one resource setting, the terminal device needs to measure RSRP.
[0517] Alternatively, when the reportQuantity of a reportConfig is configured as 'None' and the reportConfig is associated with more than one resource setting, the terminal device needs to measure SINR. When the reportQuantity of a reportConfig is configured as 'None' and the reportConfig is associated with only one resource setting, if the frequency domain density of the resources in the resource setting is 3 or the number of ports of the resources in the resource setting is 1, the terminal device needs to measure SINR, otherwise, measure RSRP.
[0518] The above method can solve the problem that when the reporting amount is configured as none, the terminal device cannot determine whether to measure SINR or RSRP, thereby avoiding technical ambiguity.
[0519] The above-mentioned Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 23 may also be applicable to uplink, that is, conflict resolution between SRS and PUCCH. Specifically, the channel resources and interference resources in the above-mentioned solution may be replaced with SRS, and CORESET may be replaced with PUCCH or PUSCH.
[0520] Specifically, a possible method to resolve the uplink conflict is to stagger the configuration of SRS and PUCCH, that is, SRS cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where PUCCH is located, that is, SRS can only be configured on symbols other than the OFDM symbol where PUCCH is located; or, PUCCH cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where SRS is located, that is, PUCCH can only be configured on symbols other than the OFDM symbol where SRS is located.
[0521] Another possible method is that if an SRS and a PUCCH have the same transmit beam or spatial relation, they can be configured on the same OFDM symbol. On the contrary, if an SRS and a PUCCH have different transmit beams or spatial relations, the SRS and PUCCH should be staggered in configuration, that is, the SRS cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the PUCCH is located, that is, the SRS can only be configured on symbols other than the OFDM symbol where the PUCCH is located; or, the PUCCH cannot be configured on the OFDM symbol where the SRS is located, that is, the PUCCH can only be configured on symbols other than the OFDM symbol where the SRS is located.
[0522] Another possible method is that if an SRS and a PUCCH are configured on the same OFDM symbol, if their transmission beams or spatial relations are different, then the terminal device only sends the SRS and only sends the PUCCH.
[0523] Another possible method is that if an SRS and a PUCCH are configured on the same OFDM symbol, if their transmission beams or spatial relations are different, then the terminal device considers that the SRS and the PUCCH are transmitted using the same transmission beam or spatial relation, that is, the SRS and PUCCH are transmitted using the SRS transmission beam or spatial relation, or the PUCCH transmission beam or spatial relation is used to transmit the SRS and PUCCH.
[0524] In the above method, PUCCH may also be replaced by PUSCH, that is, the above method may be used to solve the conflict problem between SRS and PUSCH.
[0525] In the above method, SRS may also be replaced by PUSCH, that is, the above method may be used to solve the conflict problem between PUCCH and PUSCH.
[0526] When performing L1-SINR measurement, you can configure a reporting configuration CSI-ReportConfig and three resource configurations (or resource settings). The first resource setting includes one or more channel resource sets, each of which includes one or more channel resources. The second resource setting includes interference resources of type CSI-IM. The third resource setting includes interference resources of type NZP CSI-RS.
[0527] The number of resources in the first resource setting and the third resource setting can be equal and associated one to one;
[0528] The second resource setting may include only one interference resource of CSI-IM, which is associated with all channel resources in the first resource setting;
[0529] Or the second resource setting may include only K CSI-IM interference resources, where K is the number of resource sets included in the first resource setting, and each CSI-IM resource is associated with a resource in a resource set. K may be limited to 1, which is equivalent to the previous case.
[0530] When the first CSI-IM is associated with multiple channel resources, which channel resource's receiving beam should be used to receive the CSI-IM resource, or which channel resource the terminal device should consider as QCL with the CSI-IM resource, is a problem that needs to be clarified. There are several solutions.
[0531] Method 1: The protocol stipulates that a CSI-IM is associated with a specific channel resource QCL. The specific channel resource can be the first resource, or the last resource, or the resource with the smallest index, or the resource with the largest index, or a resource configured with TCI-state, or the first resource among the resources configured with TCI-state, or the last resource among the resources configured with TCI-state, or the resource with the smallest index among the resources configured with TCI-state, or the resource with the largest index among the resources configured with TCI-state. Or a resource configured with typeD type QCL-info, or the first resource among the resources configured with typeD type QCL-info, or the last resource among the resources configured with typeD type QCL-info, or the resource with the smallest index among the resources configured with typeD type QCL-info, or the resource with the largest index among the resources configured with typeD type QCL-info.
[0532] Method 2: Configure the period of CSI-IM to be 1 / N of the period of the channel resource associated with it, where N is the number of channel resources associated with CSI-IM. In this way, the CSI-IM resource can be measured N times using the receiving beam of each channel resource. The terminal device can sequentially use the receiving beams of each associated channel resource to receive CSI-IM. For example, CSI-IM is associated with 4 channel resources, namely channel resources 1 to 4, and the measurement period of the channel resources is 16ms. Therefore, the measurement period of the interference resource can be configured as 16 / 4=4ms. Therefore, the receiving beam of channel resource 1 can be used to receive the measured interference resource at the first moment to obtain measurement result 1, and after an interval of 4ms, the receiving beam of channel resource 2 can be used to receive the measured interference resource to obtain measurement result 2, and then after an interval of 4ms, the receiving beam of channel resource 3 can be used to receive the measured interference resource to obtain measurement result 3, and then after an interval of 4ms, the receiving beam of channel resource 4 can be used to receive the measured interference resource to obtain measurement result 4, so that 16ms after the first moment, the measured channel resources 1 to 4 are received, and the reporting data 1 is determined according to the channel resource 1 and the measurement result 1, the reporting data 2 is determined according to the channel resource 2 and the measurement result 2, the reporting data 3 is determined according to the channel resource 3 and the measurement result 3, and the reporting data 4 is determined according to the channel resource 4 and the measurement result 4.
[0533] Method 3: Limit the receiving beam of the channel resources associated with the CSI-IM to the same
[0534] When a reporting configuration for L1-SINR measurement is associated with three resource settings, one or more combinations of the following configuration constraints must be met.
[0535] 1. All channel resources associated with a CSI-IM interference resource can only be configured with one TCI-state. For example, a CSI-IM interference resource is associated with a channel resource set resource set or is associated with all channel resources in the resource set, only one resource in the resource set is configured with TCI-state, or multiple resources are configured with TCI-state and the TCI-state of multiple resources is the same, or all resources are configured with TCI-state and the TCI-state of all resources is the same; for another example, a CSI-IM interference resource is associated with a channel resource resource setting or is associated with all channel resources in the resource setting, only one resource in the resource setting is configured with TCI-state, or multiple resources are configured with TCI-state and the TCI-state of multiple resources is the same, or all resources are configured with TCI-state and the TCI-state of all resources is the same.
[0536] 2. The repetition parameter of the resource set corresponding to all channel resources associated with a CSI-IM interference resource is configured as off. For example, a CSI-IM interference resource is associated with a channel resource set resource set or is associated with all channel resources in the resource set, and the repetition parameter of the resource set is configured as off; for another example, a CSI-IM interference resource is associated with a channel resource resource setting or is associated with all channel resources in the resource setting, and the repetition parameter of the resource set included in the resource setting is configured as off;
[0537] Through the above method, the QCL information of CSI-IM can be clarified, thereby avoiding technical ambiguity.
[0538] The methods of the above various embodiments can be configured through RRC signaling, that is, the terminal device can be configured through RRC signaling to determine which method to use. Alternatively, the terminal device can report which method to use.
[0539] The SINR in the above embodiment can be replaced by other measurement parameters, such as RSRP, RSRQ, signal to noise ratio (SNR), signal to interference ratio (SIR), received signal strength indication (RSSI), CQI, precoding matrix indicator (PMI), channel rank indicator (RI), layer indicator (LI). That is, the method of the present application is also applicable to the measurement and reporting of the above indicators.
[0540] Based on the same technical concept as the method embodiment, the present application embodiment provides a communication device. The structure of the communication device can be as follows Fig. 20 As shown, it includes a processing module 2001 and a transceiver module 2002.

The processing module 2001 is used to perform measurements based on the configured channel resources and interference resources.
