[0002] In the existing network quality assessment scheme based on Layer 1 (L1) measurement, the measurement result of a single measurement is used to reflect the cell quality. However, if the antenna of the terminal is blocked when performing a certain measurement, the measurement result of this measurement cannot reflect the actual cell quality. It can be seen that the measurement reliability of the existing L1 measurement is low. Summary of the invention

[0014] The transceiver is further configured to send a first cell quality report to the network side device, where the first cell quality report is determined based on the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results;

[0015] Wherein, P is a positive integer, and Q is an integer greater than 1.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The terms "first", "second" etc. in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and need not be used to describe a specific order or sequential order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, the process, method, system, product or equipment comprising a series of steps or units need not be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a network system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied, such as Figure 1 As shown, the network device 10 comprises a terminal 11 and a network side device 12. The terminal 11 and the network side device 12 can communicate with each other.

[0029] The terminal 11 may also be referred to as a user equipment (UE). In practical applications, the terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a wearable device (Wearable Device) or a vehicle-mounted device, etc. The network side device 12 may be a base station, an access point or other network elements, etc.

[0030] The following is an explanation of the measurement method provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is one of the flow charts of the measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The measurement method in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a terminal.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the measuring method may include the following steps:

[0033] Step 201: Receive first configuration information sent by a network side device, where the first configuration information is used to configure filtering parameters corresponding to a first filtering operation and a number of layer 1 measurements P corresponding to the first filtering operation.

[0034] The filtering parameter corresponding to the first filtering operation can be understood as: the filtering parameter used when performing the first filtering operation. For example, assuming that the terminal performs the first filtering operation according to filtering parameter A, then filtering parameter A can be regarded as the filtering parameter corresponding to the first filtering operation.

[0035] The number of layer 1 measurements P corresponding to the first filtering operation can be understood as: the number of layer 1 measurements corresponding to the filtering object of the first filtering operation. For example, assuming that the first filtering operation is used to filter layer 1 measurement result 1 and layer 1 measurement result 2, and layer 1 measurement result 1 and layer 1 measurement result 2 are obtained by the terminal by performing two layer 1 measurements, then the value of the number of layer 1 measurements P corresponding to the first filtering operation is 2.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, P is a positive integer, that is, P can be equal to 1 or greater than 1. The specific value of P can be determined by the network side device, or determined by negotiation between the terminal and the network side device, but is not limited to this. When P is greater than 1, the terminal will report the cell quality report once after performing P sub-layer 1 measurements. It can be seen that the terminal can increase the time granularity of the cell quality report so that the reported cell quality report is determined based on the measurement results obtained by multiple measurements, thereby making the reported cell quality report more consistent with the actual quality of the cell and improving the reliability of the measurement.

[0037] Step 202: Obtain Q first layer 1 measurement results corresponding to P sub-layer 1 measurements, where the Q first layer 1 measurement results are determined based on second layer 1 measurement results obtained from the P sub-layer 1 measurements.

[0038] In a specific implementation, in a first implementation, the Q first layer 1 measurement results may be layer 1 measurement results obtained by the P sub-layer 1 measurement. In a second implementation, the Q first layer 1 measurement results may be obtained by the terminal by performing a processing operation on the layer 1 measurement results obtained by the P sub-layer 1 measurement, and the processing operation may include at least one of the following: a filtering operation, a merging operation, and a selection operation. Wherein, Q is an integer greater than 1.

[0039] It should be noted that each layer 1 measurement result may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP), reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ), interference plus noise ratio (Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio, SINR), which can be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0040] Step 203: Perform the first filtering operation on the Q second layer 1 measurement results according to the first filtering parameters to obtain Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results.

[0041] For the above-mentioned first implementation method, after performing P layer 1 measurements, the terminal can perform the first filtering operation on the layer 1 measurement results of the P layer 1 measurements according to the first filtering parameters configured by the network side device to obtain Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results.

[0042] For the second implementation, after performing P layer 1 measurements, the terminal first performs a processing operation on the layer 1 measurement results obtained by the P layer 1 measurements to obtain a processed layer 1 measurement result. Then, according to the first filtering parameters configured by the network side device, the first filtering operation is performed on the processed layer 1 measurement results to obtain Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results.

[0043] In this way, by performing the first filtering operation on the Q second layer 1 measurement results, the obtained Q first filtered layer 1 measurement results can be made smoother and have a smaller fluctuation amplitude, so that the cell quality report can be more consistent with the actual quality of the cell and the reliability of layer 1 measurement can be improved.

[0044] Step 204: Send a first cell quality report to the network side device, where the first cell quality report is determined based on the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results.

[0045] In a specific implementation, the first cell quality report may include all or part of the measurement results of the Q first filter layer 1. Further, the first cell quality report may also include other information in addition to the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results, such as measured beams.

[0046] In the measurement method of the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal performs P sub-layer 1 measurements, based on the filtering parameters configured by the network side device, the terminal filters the Q first layer 1 measurement results corresponding to the P sub-layer 1 measurements to obtain Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results, and sends a cell quality report determined based on the Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results to the network side device. It can be seen that, on the one hand, the embodiment of the present application can increase the cell quality reporting time granularity so that the reported cell quality report is determined based on the measurement results obtained by multiple measurements, and on the other hand, the measurement results can be filtered based on the filtering parameters configured by the network side device so that the reported measurement results are smoother and have a smaller fluctuation range, so that the cell quality report can be more consistent with the actual quality of the cell and the reliability of the layer 1 measurement can be improved.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first filtering parameter includes a filtering factor; and performing the first filtering operation on the Q second layer 1 measurement results according to the first filtering parameter to obtain the first filtering operation layer 1 measurement result includes:

[0048] Determining a first filtering formula according to the first filtering parameter;

[0049] The first filtering formula is used to perform the first filtering operation on the Q second layer 1 measurement results to obtain Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results.

[0050] In a specific implementation, in one implementation method, the first filtering parameter can be used to determine the operation relationship of the first filtering parameter and the value of the parameter in the first filtering parameter, such as the value of the filtering factor; the first filtering parameter can be only used to determine the value of the parameter in the first filtering parameter, and the operation relationship of the first filtering parameter can be determined by other methods, such as by protocol pre-determination, network side device pre-configuration or terminal determination.

[0051] Among them, in the first filtering formula, the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results are determined based on the Q second layer 1 measurement results and the filtering factor. The contribution of the Q second layer 1 measurement results to the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results is negatively correlated with the filtering factor. That is, the smaller the filtering factor, the greater the contribution of the Q second layer 1 measurement results to the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results, that is, the greater the influence of the Q second layer 1 measurement results on the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results; otherwise, the smaller the filtering factor.

[0052] Furthermore, the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results are also determined based on the reference filter layer 1 measurement results, and the contribution of the reference filter layer 1 measurement results to the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results is positively correlated with the filter factor. In other words, the smaller the filter factor, the smaller the contribution of the Q second layer 1 measurement results to the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results, that is, the smaller the influence of the Q second layer 1 measurement results on the Q first filter layer 1 measurement results; otherwise, the greater the filter factor.

[0053] It should be noted that, in practical applications, the terminal may perform the first filtering operation once or multiple times. The Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results may be understood as: the terminal performs the i+1th filtering operation, and obtains the filtering layer 1 measurement result, where i is a natural number.

[0054] The reference filter layer 1 measurement result may be: a preset filter layer 1 measurement result, or a filter layer 1 measurement result obtained when the terminal performs the first filtering operation for the i-th time. Optionally, if i is equal to 0, then the reference filter layer 1 measurement result may be a preset filter layer 1 measurement result; if i is greater than or equal to 1, then the reference filter layer 1 measurement result may be a filter layer 1 measurement result obtained when the terminal performs the first filtering operation for the i-th time.

[0055] Optionally, the first filtering formula may be expressed as:

[0056] F n =(1-α)F n-1 +αM n ,α=0.5 k / 2

[0057] Where k is the filter factor; F n-1 is the measurement result of reference filter layer 1; F n is the measurement result of filter layer 1 of the i+1th filtering operation; M n The filter object.

[0058] In the scenario of “using the first filtering formula to perform the first filtering operation on the Q second layer 1 measurement results to obtain Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results”, F n is the measurement result of the Q first filter layers 1; M n These are the Q second layer 1 measurement results.

[0059] It should be noted that the above first filtering formula is only an example and does not limit the specific form of expression of the first filtering formula.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, before sending the first cell quality report to the network side device, the method further includes:

[0061] receiving second configuration information sent by a network side device, where the second configuration information is used to configure at least one of the following: content of a cell quality report and a reporting type of the cell quality report;

[0062] In a case where the second configuration information is configured with content of a cell quality report, generating a first cell quality report according to the content of the cell quality report configured by the second configuration information and the Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results;

[0063] The sending the first cell quality report to the network side device includes:

[0064] In a case where the second configuration information is configured with a reporting type of a cell quality report, a first cell quality report is sent to the network side device according to the reporting type configured by the second configuration information.

[0065] In specific implementation, the content of the cell quality report may include at least one of the following:

[0066] Measurement objects of layer 1 measurement, such as channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), etc.

[0067] Reported measurement values, such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc.

[0068] For example: assuming that the measurement object of layer 1 measurement is CSI-RS, the Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results include Q CSI-RS RSRPs, Q CSI-RS RSRQs and Q CSI-RS SINRs; the content of the cell quality configured by the second configuration information includes the measurement object and SINR, then the first cell quality report may include CSI-RS, and the Q CSI-RSSINRs.

[0069] The reporting type of the cell quality report can be any of the following: periodic reporting, semi-static reporting, and non-periodic reporting. For example, assuming that the reporting type of the cell quality report configured by the second configuration information is periodic reporting, the terminal can send the first cell quality report to the network side device according to the reporting time point of the periodic reporting.

[0070] It should be noted that when the second configuration information is only used to configure the content of the cell quality report, the reporting type of the first cell quality can be determined according to actual conditions; when the second configuration information is only used to configure the reporting type of the cell quality report, the specific content of the first cell quality can be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first cell quality report is carried by any of the following:

[0072] first signaling, where the first signaling is used to carry a first type of cell quality report, where the first type of cell quality report includes a layer 1 measurement result that meets a first condition;

[0073] second signaling, where the second signaling is used to carry a second type of cell quality report, where the first type of cell quality report includes a layer 1 measurement result that does not meet the first condition;

[0074] A third signaling, where the third signaling is used to carry a reference signal;

[0075] The layer 1 measurement result satisfying the first condition is: a layer 1 measurement result obtained by filtering based on a filtering parameter configured by a network side device.

[0076] Since the Q first filtering layer 1 measurement results used to determine the first cell quality report are obtained by filtering based on the first filtering parameter configured by the network side device, it can be understood that the first cell report belongs to the first type of cell quality report.

[0077] In the case where the first cell quality report is carried by the first signaling, the first type of cell quality report and the second type of cell quality report are reported using independent signaling. In this way, the network side device can distinguish the type of received cell quality report based on the signaling carrying the cell quality report, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the cell quality report.

[0078] In the case where the first cell quality report is carried by the second signaling, the first type of cell quality report is multiplexed with the second signaling for reporting. In this case, the second signaling can be used to carry both the second type of cell quality report and the first type of cell quality report. In this way, the first type of cell quality report can be multiplexed with the second signaling for on-line reporting, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0079] The third signaling may be a signaling for carrying a reference signal such as a sounding reference signal (SRS). In the case where the first cell quality report is carried by the third signaling, the first type of cell quality report multiplexes the third signaling for reporting. In this case, the third signaling may be used to carry both a reference signal and the first type of cell quality report. In this way, the first type of cell quality report may multiplex the third signaling for on-line reporting, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, for the aforementioned second implementation, that is, the Q first layer 1 measurement results can be obtained by the terminal by performing a processing operation on the layer 1 measurement results obtained by the P sub-layer 1 measurement, and the processing operation may include at least one of the following: a filtering operation, a merging operation, and a selection operation. Optionally, obtaining the Q first layer 1 measurement results corresponding to the P sub-layer 1 measurement includes:

[0081] receiving third configuration information sent by the network side device, where the third configuration information is used to configure K layer 1 channel state information reference signal CSI-RS beams matching the service beam, where K is an integer greater than 1;

[0082] Performing layer 1 measurement on the K layer 1 CSI-RS beams to obtain K second layer 1 measurement results;

[0083] Performing a second filtering operation on the K second layer 1 measurement results according to a second filtering parameter determined by the terminal to obtain K second filtering layer 1 measurement results;

[0084] A selection operation or a merging operation is performed on the K second filtering layer 1 measurement results to obtain R first layer 1 measurement results, where R is an integer less than or equal to K.

[0085] It should be noted that this embodiment uses one layer 1 measurement in the P layer 1 measurements as an example, and the measurement principles of other layer 1 measurements are the same and will not be repeated here. The CSI-RS beam used for layer 1 measurement can be periodically configured, and the period can be adaptively configured.

[0086] In this optional implementation, the K CSI-RS beams used for layer 1 measurement are matched with the service beam. The K CSI-RS beams are matched with the service beam in a specific manner as follows: each CSI-RS beam has the same horizontal and vertical beam width as the service beam. In this way, the layer 1 measurement results can better reflect the interference of neighboring service, thereby improving the reliability of the measurement.

[0087] For ease of understanding, combined Figure 3 The example description is as follows:

[0088] Assume that there are 8 service beams per layer, for a total of 4 layers. Figure 3 As shown, 32 single-port density 3 CSI-RS beams (32 non-zero power (Non-Zero Power NZP) reference signal resources (Channel Measurement Resource (or Resource for Channel Measurement), CMR)) can be sent in time division on the fourth to seventh consecutive time slots of a wireless frame, occupying 264 physical resource blocks (Physical Resource Block, PRB) in the frequency domain, 8 in each layer, and a total of 4 layers.

[0089] Specifically, the first layer of beams 1 to 8 are sent on slot D1, and the CSI-RS of each beam occupies 3 resource elements (RE), that is, a non-zero power CSI-RS with a single port density of 3 is sent. The second layer of beams 9 to 16 are sent on slot D2, and so on, until all 32 beams are sent. Figure 3 In the example, the number in RE indicates the number of the beam occupying the RE.

[0090] In this optional implementation, after acquiring the K CSI-RS beams, the terminal may perform layer 1 measurement on the K CSI-RS beams to obtain K second layer 1 measurement results.

[0091] Afterwards, the terminal can autonomously filter the K second layer 1 measurement results to obtain K second filtered layer 1 measurement results. The main differences between the second filtering operation and the first filtering operation are: 1) The filtering parameters of the filtering operation are determined in different ways. Specifically, the first filtering operation is performed based on the filtering parameters configured by the network side device, while the second filtering operation is performed based on the filtering parameters determined by the terminal; 2) The number of measurements corresponding to the filtering may be different. Specifically, the number of measurements corresponding to the first filtering operation may be equal to 1 or greater than 1, that is, the first filtering operation may be performed once after one or more layer 1 measurements are performed; and the number of measurements corresponding to the second filtering operation is 1, that is, the second filtering operation is performed once after a layer 1 measurement is performed.

[0092] In addition, after obtaining K second filter layer 1 measurement results, the terminal may perform a selection operation or a merging operation on the K second filter layer 1 measurement results to obtain R first layer 1 measurement results. Optionally, when the K second filter layer 1 measurement results are all less than a certain threshold, the R first layer 1 measurement results may only include the maximum second filter layer 1 measurement result among the K second filter layer 1 measurement results; when there is a second filter layer 1 measurement result greater than the threshold among the K second filter layer 1 measurement results, the R first layer 1 measurement results may include part or all of the second filter layer 1 measurement results exceeding the threshold, or the average value of all second filter layer 1 measurement results exceeding the threshold.

[0093] In this way, before executing the first filtering operation, the terminal may also successively perform the second filtering operation on the layer 1 measurement result obtained by the layer 1 measurement, and perform a selection operation or a merging operation on the filtered layer 1 measurement result of the second filtering operation, so that the first cell quality report can better reflect the actual quality of the cell, thereby further improving the reliability of the measurement.

[0094] It should be noted that the configuration information in the embodiments of the present application may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling or a media access control (Media Access Control, MAC) control element (Control Element, CE), but is not limited thereto.

[0095] The various optional implementation modes introduced in the embodiments of the present application may be implemented in combination with each other or may be implemented separately if they do not conflict with each other, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0096] For ease of understanding, combined Figure 4 The example description is as follows:

[0097] like Figure 4As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0098] Step 1. The terminal performs layer 1 measurements.

[0099] In specific implementation, the terminal receives a measurement configuration sent by a network side device, where the measurement configuration may be an L1 CSI-RS configuration, that is, the measurement configuration is used to configure a CSI-RS beam. The terminal performs measurement on the CSI-RS beam sent by the network side device to obtain A.

[0100] Step 2. The terminal performs filtering autonomously.

[0101] The terminal implements L1 filtering on A autonomously to obtain B. The filtering in step 2 depends on the terminal implementation and is not constrained by the protocol.

[0102] Step 3. The terminal performs beam merging / selection.

[0103] In specific implementation, beam merging / selection is performed through RRC parameter configuration to obtain C. Optionally, C can be reported to the network side device.

[0104] Since the granularity of the L1 measurement report value is relatively small, the measurement value usually fluctuates greatly and violently due to rapid channel changes (for example, obstruction or strong multipath), so subsequent smoothing and filtering processing is required.

[0105] Step 4. The terminal performs filtering according to the filtering parameters configured by the network side device.

[0106] In specific implementation, C is filtered and smoothed through RRC signaling to obtain D.

[0107] Optionally, RRC signaling includes but is not limited to sending parameters such as filter coefficients and reporting periods to filter the measurement quantities CSI-RSRSPR, CSI-RS SINR, CSI-RS RSRQ, etc. The specific filtering formula is F n =(1-α)F n-1 +αM n ,α=0.5 k / 2 , where k is the measurement filter factor, F n-1 is the previous filtered measurement result, M n is C. The smaller the filtering factor is, the greater the impact of the current measurement result on the measurement result finally reported to the network side device.

[0108] Step 5. The terminal generates a cell quality report.

[0109] In specific implementation, the terminal generates a cell quality report E based on the RRC signaling and D, and can report the cell quality report E to the network side device.

[0110] The reporting of RRC signaling includes but is not limited to the measurement object, the measurement reporting quantity and the reporting method. The measurement object includes but is not limited to the reference signal CSI-RS used for channel measurement. The reporting quantity includes but is not limited to CSI-RS RSPR, CSI-RS SINR, CSI-RS RSRQ, etc. The reporting type can be periodic, semi-static or aperiodic reporting.

[0111] This patent does not limit the method of reporting from the terminal to the network side device. The embodiments may include but are not limited to the following reporting methods:
