Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technology, specifically relating to a beam measurement reporting method, device, terminal, and network-side equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when a frequency band has a large bandwidth, beam squinting occurs due to differences in signal propagation characteristics at different frequency locations. For example, the edge frequencies and center frequencies of a large bandwidth band may deviate in beam direction. When the network performs beam training based on the center frequency and selects the optimal beam, if this optimal beam is used to transmit through the full bandwidth channel, the beam direction at the edge frequencies will deviate due to the frequency difference, resulting in beam squinting and thus degrading beam link performance.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, not limited in number; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0031] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following will be described first.
[0032] 1) Regarding multiple antennas
[0033] Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) wireless access technologies are all built upon Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies. MIMO technology, in particular, can utilize the spatial degrees of freedom available in multi-antenna systems to improve peak data rates and system spectral efficiency.
[0034] During the standardization process, the dimensions of MIMO technology have been continuously expanding. In LTE Rel-8, up to four layers of MIMO transmission can be supported. Rel-9 added Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology, and TM (Transmission Mode)-8 MU-MIMO transmission can support up to four downlink data layers. Rel-10 expanded the transmission capability of Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) to up to eight data layers.
[0035] The industry is further pushing MIMO technology towards three-dimensional and large-scale implementation. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has completed its research project on 3D channel modeling and is currently conducting research and standardization work on full-dimensional eFD-MIMO and New Radio (NR) MIMO. It is foreseeable that larger-scale MIMO technology with more antenna ports will be introduced in future 5G mobile communication systems.
[0036] Massive MIMO technology uses massive antenna arrays, which can greatly improve the system's bandwidth utilization efficiency and support a larger number of access users. Therefore, massive MIMO technology is currently regarded as one of the most promising physical layer technologies in next-generation mobile communication systems.
[0037] In massive MIMO technology, if an all-digital array is used, the maximum spatial resolution and optimal MU-MIMO performance can be achieved. However, this structure requires a large number of digital-to-analog / analog-to-digital (AD / DA) conversion devices and a large number of complete RF-baseband processing channels, which will be a huge burden in terms of both equipment cost and baseband processing complexity.
[0038] To avoid the aforementioned implementation costs and equipment complexity, hybrid analog-digital beamforming technology has emerged. This involves adding a beamforming stage to the radio frequency signal near the front end of the antenna system, building upon traditional digital beamforming. Analog beamforming can achieve a relatively coarse match between the transmitted signal and the channel in a simpler way. The equivalent channel dimension formed after analog beamforming is smaller than the actual number of antennas, thus significantly reducing the required AD / DA converters, digital channels, and baseband processing complexity. Residual interference from the analog beamforming section can be processed again in the digital domain, ensuring the quality of MU-MIMO transmission. Compared to all-digital beamforming, hybrid analog-digital beamforming represents a trade-off between performance and complexity, showing high practical potential in high-frequency, high-bandwidth systems or systems with a large number of antennas.
[0039] 2) Regarding high-frequency bands
[0040] In research on next-generation communication systems beyond 4G, the supported operating frequency bands have been increased to above 6GHz, reaching a maximum of approximately 100GHz. High-frequency bands have relatively abundant idle frequency resources, which can provide greater throughput for data transmission. Currently, 3GPP has completed high-frequency channel modeling. High-frequency signals have shorter wavelengths, allowing for the placement of more antenna elements on the same panel size compared to low-frequency bands, and enabling the formation of more directional beams with narrower lobes using beamforming technology. Therefore, combining massive MIMO with high-frequency communication is also one of the future trends.
[0041] 3) Regarding beam measurement and beam reporting
[0042] Analog beamforming is transmitted across the full bandwidth, and each polarization element on the panel of each high-frequency antenna array can only transmit an analog beam in a time-division multiplexed manner. The beamforming weights of the analog beam are achieved by adjusting the parameters of devices such as the RF front-end phase shifter.
[0043] In specific embodiments, a polling method is typically used to train the simulated beamforming vectors. That is, each element of each antenna panel in each polarization direction sequentially transmits training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) at predetermined times using time-division multiplexing. After measurement, the terminal feeds back a beam report, which the network-side equipment then uses to implement simulated beam transmission in the next service transmission. The beam report typically includes the identification information of several optimal beams and the measured received power of each transmitted beam.
[0044] During beam measurement, the network-side equipment configures the beam report configuration information, which is associated with the Reference Signal Resource Setting (RS resource setting). This RS resource setting contains at least one RS resource set, and each RS resource set includes at least one RS resource, such as a Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) resource or a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource. The terminal measures the Layer One Reference Signal Receiving Power (L1-RSRP) / Layer One Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (L1-SINR) for each RS resource and reports the best at least one measurement result to the network-side equipment. The reported content includes the Synchronization Signal Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI) or the CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), as well as the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR.
[0045] The beam report configuration information indicates whether the beam report is group-based. If it is a non-group-based beam report, the terminal reports at least one optimal beam and its quality, allowing the network-side device to determine the beam used to transmit channels or signals to the terminal. If it is a group-based beam report, the terminal reports a pair of beams and their quality; when the network-side device uses this pair of beams to transmit information to the terminal, the terminal can receive them simultaneously.
[0046] 4) Regarding beam squint
[0047] When a frequency band has a large bandwidth, beam squinting can occur due to differences in signal propagation characteristics at different frequency locations. For example, the edge frequencies and center frequencies of a large bandwidth band may deviate in beam direction. When the network performs beam training based on the center frequency and selects the optimal beam, if this optimal beam is used to transmit through the full bandwidth channel, the beam direction at the edge frequencies will deviate, thus degrading the quality of the beam link.
[0048] 3GPP introduced Independent Beam Management (IBM) and Common Beam Management (CBM) to describe two different operating modes under FR2 inter-band CA. IBM refers to the UE (User Equipment) independently managing beams, allowing the primary carrier (PCC) and secondary carrier (SCC) to independently select the optimal beams. In this case, different component carriers (CCs) can achieve relatively optimal transmit and receive performance, but the disadvantages are higher signaling overhead and more complex UE architecture design. CBM, on the other hand, means that only the PCC performs beam management, while the SCC directly applies the PCC's configuration. This approach saves signaling overhead, simplifies the UE structure, and reduces costs. However, because FR2 uses hybrid beamforming, this configuration causes the PCC and SCC beams to use the same phase shifter configuration, resulting in a certain beam skew in the SCC relative to the PCC, producing what is known as "beam skew," leading to performance degradation.
[0049] It is worth noting that the technologies described in this application are not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used with the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as with other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes New Radio (NR) systems for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description; however, these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR systems, such as 6th generation (6G) radio systems. th Generation 6G communication system.

[0051] Optionally, the beam information mentioned in the embodiments of this application may also be referred to as: spatial relation information, spatial domain reception filter information, spatial domain transmission filter information, spatial filter, Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state information, quasi-co-located (QCL) information, or QCL parameters, etc. Downlink beam information is typically represented using TCI state information, QCL information, etc. Uplink beam information is typically represented using spatial relation information or TCI state information.

[0054] Optionally, the first object in the embodiments of this application may include any of the following: cell, sub-band, frequency band, member carrier CC, etc.
[0055] To address the issue of beam link performance degradation caused by beam squint, this application mainly introduces beam pairing technology for large bandwidth or cross-frequency band applications. Through reasonable beam measurement and reporting mechanisms, different transmission beams are used at far-away frequency locations, while still maintaining simultaneous reception at the terminal, thereby improving throughput.
[0056] The beam measurement reporting method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0057] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a beam measurement reporting method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a terminal, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0058] Step 21: Send the first beam report to the network-side device.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first beam report may include beam identification information for multiple first objects. At least two of the first object beam identification information correspond to the same received beam information, such as the terminal's spatial receiving filter information or the terminal's spatial filter information. The first object may include any of the following: cell, sub-band, band, CC, etc. The beam identification information may be a reference signal resource indicator such as SSBRI or CRI.
[0060] For example, the first beam report may include beam identification information for multiple cells, or beam identification information for multiple sub-bands, or beam identification information for multiple frequency bands, or beam identification information for multiple CCs.
[0061] It should be noted that the embodiment of this application reports a beam report. The following example, using an SSBRI / CRI comprising multiple sub-bands, illustrates the reason for beam squint: Since the simulated beam is determined by hardware such as phase shifters for beamforming weights, currently only one beam can be formed in a single band. However, when the band is too large, using the same transmit beam (Tx beam) and receive beam (Rx beam) for different sub-bands leads to optimal beam link performance in one sub-band, but beamsquint occurs when applied to another sub-band, meaning the beam link performance deteriorates in another sub-band. Therefore, this application proposes reporting SSBRI / CRI for multiple sub-bands. Here, the UE still uses a set of phase shifters and other devices to form a single receive beam; that is, the UE's Rx beam remains unchanged in this band. However, the network's Tx beam is different in different sub-bands, such as Tx beam1 and Tx beam2, which are for the same Rx beam of the UE. Each beam forms the optimal link on its own sub-band. Therefore, SSBRI / CRI of different sub-bands corresponding to the same Rx beam are reported to avoid beam squint.
[0062] The beam measurement reporting method of this application embodiment sends a first beam report to the network-side device through the terminal. The first beam report includes beam identification information of multiple first objects, which enables the network-side device to use different transmission beams at frequency points that are far apart, such as different transmission beams on different cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs. It can also keep the terminal receiving simultaneously, thereby avoiding the degradation of beam link performance caused by beam squint in large bandwidth or cross-frequency band situations and improving throughput.
[0063] In this application embodiment, in order to solve the problem caused by beam squint, three beam measurement and reporting mechanisms are proposed, which are described below.
[0064] Mechanism 1
[0065] In this mechanism, before sending the first beam report to the network-side device, the terminal can receive report configuration information from the network-side device. This report configuration information is, for example, CSI-ReportConfig. This report configuration information is a single report configuration, meaning it includes configuration information for one beam report. This report configuration information may have at least one of the following characteristics:
[0066] (1) Includes RS resource settings, which are located on multiple first objects. That is, the report configuration information includes RS resource settings (or resource configs) on multiple cells / subbands / bands / CCs.
[0067] Optionally, the RS resource settings mentioned above may include the number or identifier ID of the first object, that is, the number of the cell / subband / frequency band / CC, or the ID of the cell / subband / frequency band / CC.
[0068] Alternatively, the aforementioned RS resource settings can be configured in the configuration information of the first object, i.e., in the cell configuration information, sub-band configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or CC configuration information.
[0069] (2) Includes RS resource sets, which are located on multiple first objects. That is, the report configuration information includes RS resource sets on multiple cells / subbands / bands / CCs.
[0070] Optionally, the RS resource set mentioned above may include the number or ID of the first object, that is, the number of the cell / subband / band / CC, or the ID of the cell / subband / band / CC.
[0071] Alternatively, the aforementioned RS resource set can be configured in the configuration information of the first object, i.e., in the cell configuration information, sub-band configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or CC configuration information.
[0072] (3) Includes RS resource groups, which are located on multiple first objects. That is, the report configuration information includes RS resource groups on multiple cells / subbands / bands / CCs. At least two of these RS resource groups belong to an RS resource set. These RS resource groups include at least one RS resource from the RS resource set.
[0073] Optionally, the RS resource group mentioned above may include the number or ID of the first object, that is, the number of the cell / subband / band / CC, or the ID of the cell / subband / band / CC.
[0074] Alternatively, the aforementioned RS resource group can be configured in the configuration information of the first object, i.e., in the cell configuration information, sub-band configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or CC configuration information.
[0075] Understandably, after sending the report configuration information to the terminal, the network-side device can send a reference signal (RS) based on that report configuration information to enable the terminal to perform beam measurement. After performing beam measurement, the terminal can then send a beam report to the network-side device.
[0076] Optionally, under the above report configuration information, the type of the first beam report reported by the terminal can be a group-based beam report.
[0077] The first beam report may include at least one of the following:
[0078] 1) N groups of beam identification information.
[0079] The beam identification information can be, for example, SSBRI, CRI, etc. N is a positive integer. Each group of beam identification information includes M beam identification information, where M is the number of multiple first objects. For example, if the report configuration information includes RS resource settings for 2 cells, then each group of beam identification information includes 2 beam identification information; or, if the report configuration information includes RS resource settings for 3 cells, then each group of beam identification information includes 3 beam identification information.
[0080] Optionally, each of the N sets of beam identification information corresponds to one receive beam information, meaning each set of beam identification information is paired, and each receive beam information corresponds to at least one set of beam identification information. The transmit beam corresponding to each set of beam identification information can be simultaneously received by its corresponding receive beam information.
[0081] Optionally, in the N sets of beam identification information, the M beam identification information in each set of beam identification information respectively indicate the RS resource in the first information on different first objects. The first information may include any one of the following: RS resource setting, RS resource set, RS resource group. That is, the M beam identification information in each set of beam identification information respectively indicate the RS resource in the RS resource setting / RS resource set / RS resource group on different cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs.
[0082] Optionally, the above N sets of beam identification information satisfy at least one of the following characteristics:
[0083] ① The beam identification information included in each group of beam identification information is arranged in a preset order;
[0084] ②N groups of beam identification information are arranged in a preset order to determine which beam identification information is in a group and can be paired. Pairing means that they correspond to the same Rx beam.
[0085] ③The beam identification information included in the N groups of beam identification information is arranged in a preset order.
[0086] For example, the first beam report reported by UE0 includes three sets of beam identification information. The first set includes CRI1 of cell1 and CRI2 of cell2; the second set includes CRI3 of cell1 and CRI4 of cell2; and the third set includes CRI5 of cell1 and CRI6 of cell2. Therefore:
[0087] If arranged according to the above feature ①, with the preset order as follows: sorted by cell number, then: among the above 3 sets of beam identification information, the reporting order of the first set of beam identification information is: CRI1, CRI2; the reporting order of the second set of beam identification information is: CRI3, CRI4; and the reporting order of the third set of beam identification information is: CRI5, CRI6; or, the reporting order of the first set of beam identification information is: CRI2, CRI1; the reporting order of the second set of beam identification information is: CRI4, CRI3; and the reporting order of the third set of beam identification information is: CRI6, CRI5.
[0088] If arranged according to the above feature ②, the preset order is: sorted according to the order of the groups. Then: among the above 3 groups of beam identification information, the first group of beam identification information is sorted first, then the second group of beam identification information is sorted, and finally the third group of beam identification information is sorted. The corresponding reported beam identification information is: CRI1, CRI2, CRI3, CRI4, CRI5, CRI6.
[0089] If arranged according to feature ③ above, the preset order is: sorted by cell number and the order of paired CRIs is the same among all CRIs in each cell. Then: among the above 3 sets of beam identification information, CRI1, CRI3, and CRI5 of cell1 are arranged first, and CRI2, CRI4, and CRI6 of cell2 are arranged next. Paired CRI1 and CRI2 are arranged first among all CRIs in cell1 and cell2, paired CRI3 and CRI4 are arranged second among all CRIs in cell1 and cell2, and paired CRI5 and CRI6 are arranged third among all CRIs in cell1 and cell2. That is, the corresponding reported beam identification information is: CRI1, CRI3, CRI5, CRI2, CRI4, and CRI6.
[0090] 2) The beam link quality corresponding to each beam identifier information.
[0091] For example, the quality of the beam link can be defined as the L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, and / or throughput of the corresponding beam link, so that the network-side equipment can determine the optimal beam link. The reporting order of the beam link quality can be the same as the order of the corresponding beam identification information.
[0092] 3) The sum of the beam link quality corresponding to each group of beam identification information, or the weighted average of the beam link quality corresponding to each group of beam identification information.
[0093] For example, the reported values include the weighted average / total L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, and / or throughput of the beam links corresponding to each beam identification information group, so that the network-side equipment can determine the optimal beam links. The reporting order of the sum or weighted average of beam link quality can be the same as the order of the corresponding beam identification information groups.
[0094] 4) The first identifier ID corresponding to each group of beam identification information. The first identifier can be used to identify the received beam information corresponding to each group of beam identification information.
[0095] Optionally, the content of the first beam report can satisfy at least one of the following characteristics:
[0096] The information transmitted via the first transmission beam is simultaneously received by the terminal; wherein, the first transmission beam is multiple of the first objects, and the first transmission beam is characterized by beam identification information belonging to the same group;
[0097] Each set of beam identification information corresponds to one receiving beam information of the terminal;
[0098] Each received beam information of the terminal corresponds to at least one set of beam identification information;
[0099] Each beam identifier in each group of beam identifier information corresponds to a different first object;
[0100] Based on the first identifier corresponding to each group of beam identification information, it is determined that the information on the transmit beam represented by the beam identification information belonging to the same group is received simultaneously.
[0101] Based on the preset arrangement order of each group of beam identification information, the information on the transmit beam represented by the beam identification information belonging to the same group is simultaneously received.
[0102] In this way, by using the first beam report that meets the above characteristics, network-side devices can use different transmit beams at frequency points that are far apart, such as different transmit beams on different cells / subbands / frequency bands / CC, and can also maintain simultaneous reception by the terminal.
[0103] Optionally, after sending the first beam report to the network-side device, the terminal can also receive beam indication information from the network-side device and transmit channel or reference signals on the corresponding beam link according to the beam indication information. The source RSs of multiple TCI states in the beam indication information can be all or part of the RS resources corresponding to a set of beam identification information; or, the multiple source RSs of one TCI state in the beam indication information can be all or part of the RS resources corresponding to a set of beam identification information. In this way, the terminal can use a single receive beam to simultaneously form beam links with the transmit beams of the network-side device on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs, thereby maximizing the throughput of information transmission.
[0104] In other words, after receiving the first beam report, the network-side device can perform beam indication based on the first beam report when scheduling channel transmission or reference signal transmission, such as when scheduling the target channel / reference signal to be transmitted simultaneously on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs. It can use all or part of the RS resources corresponding to a set of beam identification information as source RSs for multiple TCI states in the beam indication of the target channel / reference signal, or use all or part of the RS resources corresponding to a set of beam identification information as multiple source RSs in one TCI state in the beam indication of the target channel / reference signal.
[0105] In one optional implementation, the network-side device can update beam information (such as TCI states) on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs. When the beam indication information received by the terminal includes multiple TCI states, these multiple TCI states may have the same TCI state identifier, and / or, these multiple TCI states may belong to different TCI state pools. For example, these multiple TCI states may have the same TCI state identifier but belong to different TCI state pools. When the network updates the TCI state ID, TCI states with the same TCI state ID on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs are updated together. For another example, when the network updates the TCI state on one cell / subband / frequency band / CC, the TCI state ID of this updated TCI state is also used in other cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs.
[0106] In one optional embodiment, the first beam report reported by UE1 includes the following:
[0107] {CRI1 on cell1,CRI2 on cell2}for Rx beam1,
[0108] {CRI3 on cell1,CRI4 on cell2}for Rx beam1,
[0109] {CRI5 on cell1,CRI6 on cell2}for Rx beam2,
[0110] ...
[0111] As described above, the first beam report reported by UE1 contains multiple sets of beam identification information (CRIs). Each CRI in a set corresponds to two cells and can be paired (pairing means using one Rx beam). For example, Rx beam1 corresponds to CRI1 of cell1 and CRI2 of cell2; Rx beam1 corresponds to CRI3 of cell1 and CRI4 of cell2; Rx beam2 corresponds to CRI5 of cell1 and CRI6 of cell2, and so on. Furthermore, CRI1 / 3 / 5 correspond to the CSI-RS resource in the resource setting of cell1, and CRI2 / 4 / 6 correspond to the CSI-RS resource in the resource setting of cell2.
[0112] Optionally, in the first beam report reported by UE1, for each group of CRIs, an ID indicator can be explicitly added, or an implicit indicator can be added according to a preset arrangement order: each pair of adjacent CRIs is paired, that is, the first two CRIs are a group, corresponding to one Rx beam, the next two CRIs are another group, also corresponding to one Rx beam, and so on; or, corresponding to cell1 and cell2, the first half of the CRIs and the second half of the CRIs are paired one by one in sequence.
[0113] Mechanism 2
[0114] In this second mechanism, before sending the first beam report to the network-side device, the terminal can receive multiple report configuration information from the network-side device. That is, the configuration information received by the terminal from the network-side device includes multiple report configuration information. This report configuration information is, for example, CSI-ReportConfig.
[0115] Optionally, each report configuration information may have at least one of the following characteristics:
[0116] (1) Each report configuration information corresponds to a first object, that is, each report configuration information corresponds to a cell / subband / band / CC.
[0117] In this (1), each report configuration information can be configured in the configuration information of the first object, that is, in the cell configuration information, sub-band configuration information, frequency band configuration information, or CC configuration information. Alternatively, each report configuration information may include the number or ID of the first object, that is, include the number or ID of the cell / sub-band / frequency band / CC.
[0118] (2) Each report configuration information includes: RS resource settings or RS resource sets for the same first object as the report configuration information. For example, each report configuration information includes: RS resource setting or RS resource set for the same cell / subband / frequency band / CC as the report configuration information.
[0119] Understandably, after sending multiple report configuration information to the terminal, the network-side device can send an RS (Reference Signal) based on this information to enable the terminal to perform beam measurement. After performing beam measurement, the terminal can then send a beam report back to the network-side device.
[0120] Optionally, under the above multiple report configuration information, the type of the first beam report reported by the terminal can be a non-group based beam report.
[0121] The first beam report includes multiple beam reports, and each beam report may include at least one of the following:
[0122] 1) P beam identification information.
[0123] The beam identification information is, for example, SSBRI, CRI, etc. P is a positive integer. Each beam identification information corresponds to one receive beam information, and each receive beam information corresponds to at least one beam identification information.
[0124] Optionally, among the P beam identifiers, each beam identifier is arranged in a preset order to determine the beam identifiers corresponding to the same Rx beam in different beam reports based on the preset order. For example, if the terminal reports beam report 1 and beam report 2, and CRI1 of cell1 and CRI2 of cell2 correspond to the same Rx beam1, and CRI3 of cell1 and CRI4 of cell2 correspond to the same Rx beam2, the preset order is: if the paired CRIs are in the same order in each beam report, then: in beam report 1, CRI1 of cell1 is arranged first, followed by CRI3 of cell1; in beam report 2, CRI2 of cell2 is arranged first, followed by CRI4 of cell2.
[0125] 2) The beam link quality corresponding to each beam identifier information.
[0126] For example, the quality of a beam link can be the L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, and / or throughput of the corresponding beam link. The reporting order of beam link quality can be the same as the order of the corresponding beam identification information.
[0127] 3) A second identifier corresponding to each beam identifier. This second identifier can be used to identify the received beam information corresponding to each beam identifier.
[0128] Optionally, the content of different beam reports in multiple beam reports can satisfy at least one of the following characteristics:
[0129] The information transmitted via the second transmission beam is simultaneously received by the terminal; wherein, the second transmission beam is multiple of the first objects, and the second transmission beam is characterized by the beam identification information corresponding to the same received beam information in each beam report;
[0130] Each beam identifier corresponds to a receiving beam information of the terminal;
[0131] Each received beam information of the terminal corresponds to at least one beam identification information;
[0132] Based on the second identifier corresponding to the beam identification information, it is determined that the information on the transmit beam represented by the beam identification information in different beam reports is received simultaneously.
[0133] Based on the preset arrangement order of beam identification information, it is determined that the information on the transmit beam represented by the beam identification information in different beam reports is received simultaneously.
[0134] In this way, by using multiple beam reports that meet the above characteristics, network-side devices can use different transmit beams at frequency points that are far apart, such as different transmit beams on different cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs, while still maintaining simultaneous reception by the terminal.
[0135] Optionally, after sending the first beam report to the network-side device, the terminal can also receive beam indication information from the network-side device and transmit channel or reference signals on the corresponding beam link according to the beam indication information. The source RSs of multiple TCI states in the beam indication information can be all or part of the RS resources corresponding to the beam identification information of the same received beam information in different beam reports; or, the multiple source RSs of one TCI state in the beam indication information can be all or part of the RS resources corresponding to the beam identification information of the same received beam information in different beam reports. In this way, the terminal can use a single receive beam to simultaneously form beam links with the transmit beams of the network-side device on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs, thereby maximizing the throughput of information transmission.
[0136] In other words, after receiving the first beam report, the network-side device can perform beam indication based on the first beam report during scheduling channel transmission or reference signal transmission, such as when the scheduling target channel / reference signal is transmitted simultaneously on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs. It can use all or part of the RS resources corresponding to the beam identification information corresponding to the same received beam information in different beam reports as source RSs for multiple TCI states in the beam indication; or, it can use all or part of the RS resources corresponding to the beam identification information corresponding to the same received beam information in different beam reports as multiple source RSs for one TCI state in the beam indication.
[0137] In one optional implementation, the network-side device can update beam information (such as TCI states) on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs. When the beam indication information received by the terminal includes multiple TCI states, these multiple TCI states may have the same TCI state identifier, and / or, these multiple TCI states may belong to different TCI state pools. For example, these multiple TCI states may have the same TCI state identifier but belong to different TCI state pools. When the network updates the TCI state ID, TCI states with the same TCI state ID on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs are updated together. For another example, when the network updates the TCI state on one cell / subband / frequency band / CC, the TCI state ID of this updated TCI state is also used in other cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs.
[0138] In one optional embodiment, the above-mentioned mechanism one and mechanism two can be combined. For example, beam measurement and reporting can be performed first based on mechanism one, and then beam measurement and reporting can be performed again based on mechanism two according to the beam reporting content in mechanism one for the beam corresponding to the reported beam identification information; and vice versa.
[0139] Mechanism 3
[0140] In this third mechanism, before sending the first beam report to the network-side device, the terminal can receive report configuration information from the network-side device. This report configuration information is, for example, CSI-ReportConfig. This report configuration information is a single report configuration, meaning it includes configuration information for one beam report. This report configuration information may have at least one of the following characteristics:
[0141] Each RS resource setting associated with the beam report corresponds to multiple first objects; that is, each RS resource setting associated with the beam report corresponds to multiple cells / subbands / bands / CCs.
[0142] Each RS resource set associated with the beam report corresponds to multiple first objects; that is, each RS resource set associated with the beam report corresponds to multiple cells / subbands / bands / CCs.
[0143] Each RS resource in the beam report associated with a setting has multiple TCI states;
[0144] Each RS resource in the set of RS resources associated with the beam report has multiple TCI states.
[0145] Understandably, after sending report configuration information to the terminal, the network-side device can send RS (Report Response) based on this information to enable the terminal to perform beam measurement. After performing beam measurement, the terminal can send a beam report to the network-side device. In this embodiment, the network-side device can use different TCI states when sending RS on each cell / subband / frequency band / CC. That is, the RS resource has multiple TCI states, where each TCI state corresponds to one cell / subband / frequency band / CC.
[0146] Optionally, under the above report configuration information, the first beam report reported by the terminal may include at least one of the following:
[0147] 1) K beam identification information. Where K is a positive integer.
[0148] 2) The beam link quality measured by the RS resource corresponding to each beam identifier when using each of the multiple TCI states. The reporting order of beam link quality can be the same as the order of the corresponding TCI states.
[0149] 3) The sum of beam link quality measured by the RS resource corresponding to each beam identifier when using multiple TCI states.
[0150] 4) The weighted average of the beam link quality measured by the RS resource corresponding to each beam identifier when using multiple TCI states.
[0151] For example, the network-side device uses the first TCI state or the first source RS of the TCI state of the CSI-RS resource to determine the transmit beam of the CSI-RS resource in subband 1, and uses the second TCI state or the second source RS of the TCI state of the CSI-RS resource to determine the transmit beam of the CSI-RS resource in subband 2. When the network-side device transmits CSI-RS in a certain subband, it only transmits the portion of the CSI-RS resource in that subband, while the portion in the other subband may be omitted or set to zero. The UE uses the same receive beam to simultaneously receive CSI-RS on two transmit beams, obtaining the beam link quality of the CSI-RS resource in the two subbands. When multiple CSI-RS resources are measured, the beam identification information to be reported can be determined based on the beam link quality of each CSI-RS resource in each subband, or the sum of the beam link quality in each subband, or a weighted average of the beam link quality in each subband.
[0152] Optionally, after sending the first beam report to the network-side device, the terminal can also receive beam indication information from the network-side device and transmit channel or reference signals on the corresponding beam link according to the beam indication information. Here, the source RS of the TCI state in the beam indication information is: an RS resource corresponding to a beam identification information. In this way, the terminal can use a single receive beam to simultaneously form beam links with the transmit beams of the network-side device on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs, thereby maximizing the throughput of information transmission.
[0153] In other words, after receiving the first beam report, the network-side device can perform beam indication based on the first beam report when the target channel / reference signal is being transmitted simultaneously on multiple cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs, and use the RS resource corresponding to a beam identification information as the source RS of the TCIstate in the beam indication.
[0154] In this embodiment of the application, the beam link quality in the beam report can be reported differentially. For example, differential reporting can be used for the beam link quality on the same cell / sub-band / frequency band / CC, or for the beam link quality on multiple cells / sub-bands / frequency bands / CCs. This differential reporting method means reporting the absolute value of one beam link quality, and then reporting the relative values of other beam link qualities relative to that single beam link quality.
[0155] Optionally, when the first beam report reported by the terminal includes multiple beam link qualities, these multiple beam link qualities can be reported differentially. For example, this first beam report includes: the absolute value of the first beam link quality among the multiple beam link qualities, and the relative values of the other beam link qualities among the multiple beam link qualities relative to the first beam link quality.
[0156] Optionally, the beam link quality reported in the first beam report using a differential method may include at least one of the following:
[0157] When the first beam report includes multiple sets of beam identification information, the quality of multiple beam links corresponding to each set of beam identification information is reported using a differential method.
[0158] When the first beam report includes multiple sets of beam identification information, the link quality of multiple beams corresponding to the multiple sets of beam identification information is reported in a differential manner.
[0159] When the first beam report includes multiple sets of beam identification information, the link quality of multiple beams corresponding to the same received beam information is reported using a differential method.
[0160] When the first beam report includes multiple beam reports, the link quality of multiple beams in each beam report is reported differentially.
[0161] The RS resource corresponding to each beam identifier information in the first beam report reports the beam link quality measured when using each of the multiple TCI states in a differential manner.
[0162] The RS resource corresponding to the same beam identifier information in the first beam report reports the beam link quality measured when using multiple TCI states in a differential manner.
[0163] The quality of multiple beam links corresponding to the same first object in the first beam report is reported using a differential method;
[0164] The quality of multiple beam links corresponding to multiple first objects in the first beam report is reported using a differential method.

[0168] The beam measurement reporting method of this application embodiment, by receiving a first beam report from the terminal, which includes beam identification information of multiple first objects, enables network-side devices to use different transmission beams at frequency points that are far apart, such as using different transmission beams on different cells / subbands / frequency bands / CCs, and also enables the terminal to receive simultaneously. This avoids the degradation of beam link performance caused by beam squint in high bandwidth or cross-frequency band situations, thereby improving throughput.
