Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a method for configuring cell measurement reporting and a device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a New Radio (NR) system, the current cell handover procedure mainly includes the following steps as shown in Figure 1

[0003] 1) The source base station (gNB) configures the terminal for measurement, and the measurement result of the terminal will be used to assist the source gNB to make handover decision;

[0004] 2) The terminal reports the measurement result according to the measurement configuration, and the measurement result is reported to the source gNB;

[0005] 3) The source gNB sends a handover command to the terminal, and the handover command carries RRC reconfiguration information;

[0006] 4) After receiving the handover command, the terminal performs synchronization with the target gNB. The terminal accesses the target cell by using a contention-based or non-contention-based random access procedure;

[0007] 5) The target gNB sends data to the terminal.

[0008] In the first step, the source gNB configures the terminal for measurement mainly including configuring the terminal to measure the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) of the current cell and the neighbor cell, and to measure the CSI-RS for mobility of the current cell and the neighbor cell. In the second step, the measurement result reported by the terminal to the source gNB is L3-Reference Signal Received Power (L3-RSRP), which is realized by introducing an additional filter at layer 3. In the fourth step, the terminal uses a contention-based or non-contention-based random access procedure. For example, the four-step random access procedure includes the following steps:

[0009] Firstly, the terminal sends a random access preamble sequence on a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource, i.e. message 1 (Msg1).

[0010] ​Second step, the terminal receives a random access response (RAR) message, i.e. message 2 (Msg2), on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) / physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The message also includes an uplink timing advance (TA) adjustment amount, an uplink scheduling grant for message 3 transmission of the UE, and a temporary cell-radio network temporary identity (TC-RNTI).

[0011] Third step, the terminal sends a radio resource control (RRC) request, i.e. message 3 (Msg3), on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

[0012] Fourth step, the terminal receives a contention resolution message, i.e. message 4 (Msg4), on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and upgrades the TC-RNTI to a cell radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI).

[0013] Figure 1 In the 5th step, the target gNB needs to configure channel measurement information for the terminal before sending data to the terminal, and the terminal reports channel state information before performing new data transmission.

[0100] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 A block diagram of a wireless communication system to which embodiments of the present application can be applied is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network device 12. The terminal 11 can also be referred to as a user terminal or a user equipment (UE), and the terminal 11 can be a terminal-side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device, or a vehicle-mounted device, and it should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The network device 12 can be a base station and / or a core network element, and the base station can be a base station of 5G and later versions (e.g., gNB, 5G NR NB, etc.), or a base station in other communication systems (e.g., eNB, WLAN access point, or other access points, etc.), and the base station can be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, or some other suitable terminology in the art, provided that the same technical effect is achieved, and the base station is not limited to a specific technical term, and it should be noted that only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example in the embodiments of the present application, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0101] The base stations can communicate with the terminals 11 under the control of a base station controller, which can be part of the core network or of some base stations in various examples. Some of the base stations can communicate control information or user data with the core network through backhaul links. In some examples, some of these base stations can communicate with one another through backhaul links, which can be wired or wireless communication links. The wireless communication system can support operation on multiple carriers (waveform signals of different frequencies). Multi-carrier transmitters can transmit modulated signals simultaneously on the multiple carriers. For example, each communication link can be a multi-carrier signal modulated according to the various radio technologies. Each modulated signal can be sent on a different carrier and can carry control information (e.g., reference signals, control channels, etc.), overhead information, data, etc.

[0102] The base stations can wirelessly communicate with the terminals 11 via one or more access point antennas. Each base station can provide communication coverage for a respective coverage area. The coverage area for an access point can be divided into sectors making up only a portion of the coverage area. The wireless communication system can include base stations of different types (e.g., macro, micro, or pico base stations). The base stations can utilize different radio technologies, such as cellular or WLAN radio access technologies. The base stations can be associated with the same or different access networks or operator deployments. The coverage areas of different base stations, including the coverage areas of base stations of the same or different types, utilizing the same or different radio technologies, or belonging to the same or different access networks, can overlap.

[0103] Communication links in a wireless communication system can include uplinks for carrying Uplink (UL) transmissions (e.g., from a terminal 11 to a network device 12) or downlinks for carrying Downlink (DL) transmissions (e.g., from a network device 12 to a terminal 11). UL transmissions can also be called reverse link transmissions, and DL transmissions can also be called forward link transmissions. Downlink transmissions can be made using a licensed spectrum, an unlicensed spectrum, or both. Similarly, uplink transmissions can be made using a licensed spectrum, an unlicensed spectrum, or both.

[0104] As described in the background, the configuration of terminal measurement reporting is not flexible enough, and usually only specific reference signals can be measured. In addition, the movement of the terminal between cells needs to be completed through a cell switching process, and the switching process involves high-layer (layer 3) signaling interaction. For high-speed moving terminals, the above switching delay can reduce the data transmission quality and cannot guarantee the reliability of the link.

[0105] To solve at least one of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a cell measurement reporting method, by configuring the terminal to measure the neighbor cell reference signal resource and feed back the measurement result, the measurement reporting configuration of the terminal can be flexibly realized. In addition, the embodiment of the present application also realizes the measurement activation and deactivation by grouping, and configures the expected arrival time parameter, which can save the measurement time of the terminal and reduce the terminal power consumption. In addition, the embodiment of the present application can also reduce the cell switching delay.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 3 The cell measurement reporting configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when executed by a terminal, comprises the following steps:

[0107] Step 31, the terminal receives the first signaling sent by the base station.

[0108] Here, the first signaling is used to activate or deactivate the measurement of the target reference signal resource.

[0109] Step 32, the terminal executes or cancels the measurement of the target reference signal resource according to the first signaling.

[0110] From the above, it can be seen that the embodiment of the present application can realize flexible measurement reporting configuration by configuring the reference signal resource of the serving cell and the neighbor cell for the terminal, and activating or deactivating the measurement of the target reference signal resource through signaling.

[0111] Before the above step 32, the terminal can also receive the reporting configuration information and the first signaling sent by the base station, and the reporting configuration information is used to configure the reference signal resource of the serving cell and the neighbor cell.

[0112] Here, the reference signal resource includes one or more of the synchronization signal block (SSB), the channel state information reference signal for mobility (CSI-RS for mobility) and the channel state information reference signal for tracking (CSI-RS for for tracking). In addition, the reporting configuration information and the first signaling are usually two different configuration signaling, of course, they can also be carried in the same or more signaling, and the present application does not make specific limitation on this.

[0113] The following provides a variety of implementations of the reporting configuration information in the above step 31.

[0114] First implementation:

[0115] The reporting configuration information comprises at least one reporting configuration group, wherein the reporting configuration group comprises at least one reporting configuration, the reporting configuration is associated with at least one resource setting, the resource setting comprises at least one reference signal resource group, the reference signal resource group comprises at least one reference signal resource; and the first signaling comprises indication information of at least one target reporting configuration group.

[0116] At this time, before step 32, the terminal can also determine, according to the first signaling, the target reporting configuration included in the target reporting configuration group, the target resource setting associated with the target reporting configuration, and the reference signal resource group comprised in the target resource setting, to obtain the target reference signal resource, and then perform or cancel the measurement on the target reference signal resource in step 32.

[0117] The second implementation manner is as follows:

[0118] The reporting configuration information comprises at least one reporting configuration, wherein each reporting configuration corresponds to a reporting type; the reporting configuration is associated with at least one resource setting, the resource setting comprises at least one reference signal resource group, the reference signal resource group comprises at least one reference signal resource; and the first signaling comprises indication information of at least one target reporting type. Here, the reporting type is periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting or aperiodic reporting; or the reporting type is measuring and reporting the reference signal resource of a current cell or measuring and reporting the reference signal resource of a neighbor cell.

[0119] At this time, before step 32, the terminal can also determine, according to the first signaling, the target reporting configuration corresponding to the target reporting type and the target resource setting associated with the target reporting configuration, and determine the reference signal resource group comprised in the target resource setting, to obtain the target reference signal resource, and then perform or cancel the measurement on the target reference signal resource in step 32.

[0120] The third implementation manner is as follows:

[0121] The reporting configuration information comprises at least one trigger state, wherein each trigger state is associated with at least one reporting configuration; the reporting configuration is associated with at least one resource setting, the resource setting comprises at least one reference signal resource group, the reference signal resource group comprises at least one reference signal resource; and the first signaling comprises indication information of at least one target trigger state.

[0122] At this time, before step 32, the terminal can further determine, according to the first signaling, a target reporting configuration associated with the target trigger state and a target resource setting associated with the target reporting configuration, and determine a target reference signal resource group contained in the target resource setting, to obtain the target reference signal resource, and then perform or cancel measurement on the target reference signal resource in step 32.

[0123] The fourth implementation manner:

[0124] The reporting configuration information contains at least one reference signal resource group, and the reference signal resource group contains at least one reference signal resource; the first signaling contains indication information of at least one target reference signal resource group.

[0125] At this time, before step 32, the terminal can further determine, according to the first signaling, a target reference signal resource group, to obtain the target reference signal resource.

[0126] The above provides various implementation manners of the reporting configuration information, and how to determine a target reference signal resource in various implementation manners.

[0127] In the embodiment of the application, the reporting configuration or resource setting can further be configured with at least one expected arrival time parameter, wherein the expected arrival time parameter is used to indicate a difference in arrival time between a reference signal resource in the reporting configuration or resource setting and a serving cell. In this way, in the process of measuring the target reference signal resource in the reporting configuration or resource in step 32, after the target reference signal resource measurement of the serving cell is completed, the terminal can wait for a time indicated by the expected arrival time parameter, and then measure the target reference signal resource of the neighboring cell.

[0128] By configuring the above-mentioned expected arrival time parameter, the embodiment of the application enables the terminal to accurately determine a measurement occasion of a target reference signal and perform effective measurement, thereby saving measurement time of the terminal and reducing power consumption of the terminal.

[0129] Optionally, the reporting configuration of the embodiment of the application can further include at least one of the following information:

[0130] 1) Indication information used to indicate that a first number of cells are reported.

[0131] 2) Indication information used to indicate that a measurement value meeting a preset threshold is reported.

[0132] 3) Indication information for indicating the reporting of the measurement values of the second number of preset cells. For example, the indication information indicates the reporting of the measurement values of the four specific cells of cell 1, cell 3, cell 5 and cell 6.

[0133] 4) Indication information for indicating the threshold value triggering the reporting. For example, the indication information indicates the threshold value 2, and when the measurement value is greater than the threshold value 2, the reporting of the measurement value is triggered.

[0134] Optionally, the resource setting of the embodiment of the present application can further include at least one cell identifier corresponding to the reference signal resource group or the reference signal resource configuration. For example, a certain resource setting includes three reference signal resource groups, namely reference signal resource groups 1-3, and the resource setting can further configure corresponding cell identifiers for the reference signal resource groups. It is assumed that the reference signal resource group 1 corresponds to the cell 1, the reference signal resource group 2 corresponds to the cell 3, and the reference signal resource group 3 corresponds to the cell 5, thereby indicating the reference signal resource groups that need to be measured by each cell. For another example, a certain reference signal resource group includes two reference signal resources, namely reference signal resources 1-2, and the resource setting can further configure corresponding cell identifiers for the reference signal resources. It is assumed that the reference signal resource 1 corresponds to the cell 1 and the reference signal resource 2 corresponds to the cell 4, thereby indicating the reference signal resources that need to be measured by each cell.

[0135] In consideration of the fact that the resource setting can include multiple reference signal resource groups and the reference signal resource group can include multiple reference signal resources, in order to facilitate the differentiation of the reference signal resources of different cells, the embodiment of the present application can perform resource index numbering on each reference signal resource in the resource setting according to a preset first rule, and the first rule makes the reference signal resources of each cell have different index numbers.

[0136] In addition, the reporting configuration of the embodiment of the present application can further include a reporting configuration for a serving cell and a reporting configuration for a neighbor cell, that is, the serving cell and the neighbor cell each have a corresponding reporting configuration.

[0137] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can further receive second signaling for activating or deactivating the reporting of the measurement results by the terminal, so that the terminal can report or cancel the reporting of the measurement results of the target reference signal resource according to the second signaling. The second signaling can be the same signaling as the first signaling, or can be different signaling.

[0138] In addition, the terminal can report the measurement results of the target reference signal resource to the base station according to the reporting configuration information. For example, the terminal can report the measurement results corresponding to the triggering event and / or the specific measurement quantity to the base station according to the definition of the triggering event and / or the specific measurement quantity for reporting in the reporting configuration information.

[0139] In addition, the embodiment of the present application can activate the terminal to report the measurement result, for example, by the first signaling or other signaling different from the first signaling. The terminal reports the measurement result obtained by the current measurement according to the activation of the first signaling or other signaling.

[0140] Based on the above configuration method of inter-cell measurement reporting, in the cell switching process, when the synchronization relationship between the source cell and the target cell is met, the terminal can perform the measurement on the target reference signal resource according to the first signaling and the measurement result reporting configuration information. Figure 4 The flow shown in the figure is inter-cell movement, which specifically includes:

[0141] The terminal receives the reporting configuration information and the first signaling sent by the source base station. The reporting configuration information is used to configure the reference signal resource of the serving cell and the neighbor cell. The first signaling is used to activate or deactivate the measurement on the target reference signal resource. The terminal performs the measurement on the target reference signal resource of the source cell and the neighbor cell according to the first signaling, obtains the measurement result, and reports the measurement result to the source base station. When the preset switching condition is met, the source base station selects one neighbor cell as the target cell according to the measurement result, instructs the target cell to serve the terminal, and instructs the terminal to receive data from the target cell. In this way, the target cell sends data to the terminal according to the instruction of the source cell, and the terminal receives service data from the target cell according to the instruction of the source cell.

[0142] In the above inter-cell movement process, the cell switching and uplink synchronization processing are reduced, and the delay of the terminal in the inter-cell movement can be reduced.

[0143] Please refer to Figure 5 The configuration method of inter-cell measurement reporting provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps when executed by the base station side.

[0144] Step 51, sending the first signaling to the terminal. The first signaling is used to activate or deactivate the measurement on the target reference signal resource.

[0145] Optionally, the base station can also send the reporting configuration information to the terminal. The reporting configuration information is used to configure the reference signal resource of the serving cell and the neighbor cell.

[0146] Similarly, the reporting configuration information in the above step 51 includes the following multiple implementation manners.

[0147] The first implementation manner:

[0148] The reporting configuration information comprises at least one reporting configuration group, wherein the reporting configuration group comprises at least one reporting configuration, the reporting configuration is associated with at least one resource setting, the resource setting comprises at least one reference signal resource group, and the reference signal resource group comprises at least one reference signal resource; and the first signaling comprises indication information of at least one target reporting configuration group.

Here, the reporting type is periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting or aperiodic reporting; or the reporting type is measuring and reporting reference signal resources of a current cell or measuring and reporting reference signal resources of a neighbor cell.

[0151] The third implementation manner is as follows:

[0152] The reporting configuration information comprises at least one trigger state, wherein each trigger state is associated with at least one reporting configuration; the reporting configuration is associated with at least one resource setting, the resource setting comprises at least one reference signal resource group, and the reference signal resource group comprises at least one reference signal resource; and the first signaling comprises indication information of at least one target trigger state.

[0154] The reporting configuration information comprises at least one reference signal resource group, and the reference signal resource group comprises at least one reference signal resource; and the first signaling comprises indication information of at least one target reference signal resource group.

[0155] Optionally, the reporting configuration or the resource setting can further be configured with at least one expected arrival time parameter, wherein the expected arrival time parameter is used to indicate a difference in arrival time between a neighbor cell and a serving cell of a reference signal resource in the reporting configuration or the resource setting. By configuring the above-mentioned expected arrival time parameter, the embodiment of the present application enables the terminal to accurately determine a measurement occasion of a target reference signal and perform effective measurement, thereby saving measurement time of the terminal and reducing power consumption of the terminal.

[0156] Optionally, the reporting configuration of the embodiment of the present application can further comprise at least one of the following information:

[0157] 1) indication information for indicating reporting measurement values of a first number of cells.

[0158] 2) indication information for indicating reporting measurement values meeting a preset threshold.

[0159] 3) indication information for indicating reporting measurement values of a second number of preset cells.

[0160] 4) indication information for indicating a threshold value triggering reporting.

[0161] Optionally, the resource setting of the embodiment of the present application can further include at least one cell identifier corresponding to the reference signal resource group or the reference signal resource configuration, thereby indicating the reference signal resource group or the reference resource that each cell needs to measure.

[0162] Optionally, the embodiment of the present application indexes each reference signal resource in the resource setting according to a preset first rule, and the first rule makes the reference signal resources of each cell have different index numbers.

[0163] In addition, the reporting configuration of the embodiment of the present application can further include reporting configuration for a serving cell and reporting configuration for a neighbor cell, that is, the serving cell and the neighbor cell each have corresponding reporting configuration.

[0164] In addition, the base station of the embodiment of the present application can activate or deactivate the terminal to report measurement results in addition to configuring the terminal to perform measurement, for example, sending second signaling to the terminal, and the second signaling is used to activate or deactivate the terminal to report measurement results.

[0165] Based on the above configuration method of inter-cell measurement reporting, the embodiment of the present application can make the terminal perform inter-cell movement according to the flow shown in the figure when the source cell and the target cell meet the synchronization relationship in the cell switching process, and the flow specifically includes: Figure 4

[0166] The terminal receives the reporting configuration information and the first signaling sent by the source base station, the reporting configuration information is used to configure the reference signal resources of the serving cell and the neighbor cell, and the first signaling is used to activate or deactivate the measurement of the target reference signal resource; the terminal measures the target reference signal resource of the source cell and the neighbor cell according to the first signaling, obtains the measurement result and reports it to the source base station; the source base station selects one neighbor cell as the target cell according to the measurement result when it is judged that the preset switching condition is met, instructs the target cell to serve the terminal, and instructs the terminal to receive data from the target cell according to the measurement result. In this way, the target cell sends data to the terminal according to the instruction of the source cell; and the terminal receives service data from the target cell according to the instruction of the source cell. ​

[0167] To help understand the above embodiments, a number of examples are provided below to further describe the present application.

[0168] Example 1:

[0169] The base station configures N=5 reporting settings for the terminal, denoted as ReportSetting0, ReportSetting1,..., ReportSetting4. Meanwhile, the base station configures reporting setting group 0 contains {ReportSetting0, ReportSetting1}, reporting setting group 1 contains {ReportSetting2, ReportSetting3, ReportSetting4}. The reporting type of the N=5 reporting settings are all aperiodic reporting. Each reporting setting is associated with a resource setting. For example, ReportSetting3 is associated with ResourceSetting3. ResourceSetting0 contains one resource set, which contains S=4 SSBs of the serving cell. ResourceSetting1 contains one resource set, which contains S=4 CSI-RS for mobility resources of the serving cell. ResourceSetting2 contains 3 resource sets, each of which corresponds to one neighboring cell and contains multiple reference signal resources of the neighboring cell. For example, resource set 0 contains 6 SSBs of neighboring cell 1, resource set 1 contains 8 SSBs of neighboring cell 2, resource set 2 contains 4 SSBs of neighboring cell 3. Similarly, ReportSetting3, ReportSetting4 also contain multiple reference signal resources of neighboring cells.

[0170] The base station uses a MAC-CE (first signaling) to indicate the activation and deactivation of the reporting configuration group. The MAC-CE contains the reporting configuration group ID and an activation / deactivation flag. If the reporting configuration group ID = 0 and the flag is set to 1, the terminal starts measuring the reference signal resources of the reporting configuration group 0. That is, the terminal starts measuring the 4 SSBs of the home cell corresponding to ResourceSetting0 and the 4 CSI-RS for mobility resources of the home cell corresponding to ResourceSetting1. If the reporting configuration group ID = 0 and the flag is set to 0, the terminal stops measuring the reference signal resources of the reporting configuration group 0. Similarly, if the reporting configuration group ID = 1 and the flag is set to 1, the terminal starts measuring the reference signal resources corresponding to ResourceSetting2 / 3 / 4. For example, the terminal starts measuring 6 SSBs of the neighbor cell 1, 8 SSBs of the neighbor cell 2, and 4 SSBs of the neighbor cell 3 corresponding to ResourceSetting2.

[0171] Further, during the measurement validity period, the base station triggers the reporting of the reporting configuration for aperiodic measurement reporting through another signaling, such as a downlink control information (DCI). For example, during the activation of the reporting configuration group 0, the base station can trigger the reporting of ReportSetting0 and / or ReportSetting1 through DCI. Or during the activation of the reporting configuration group 1, the base station can trigger the reporting of ReportSetting2, ReportSetting3, and ReportSetting4 through DCI.

[0172] For each ReportSetting, the base station can configure the reporting criteria. For example, for ReportSetting2, a RSRP reporting threshold value is set, and at most 1 RSRP value is reported for each cell. In this way, the terminal reports at most 3 RSRP values, each corresponding to a neighbor cell, and meets the reporting threshold requirement.

[0173] In addition, the base station can also configure an arrival time parameter for the neighbor cell. For example, in ResourceSetting2, an arrival time parameter is configured for each Resource set. For example, the arrival time parameter of Resource set0 is T0, which represents the time difference between the arrival time of the reference signal of the neighbor cell 1 and the arrival time of the reference signal of the home cell. In this way, the terminal waits for T0 time after measuring the reference signal of the home cell, and then measures the reference signal of the neighbor cell 1.

[0174] In addition, for a ResourceSetting containing multiple cell's reference signal resources, the reference signals of different cells can be distinguished by including cell ID. For example, for Resource set 0 in ResourceSetting2, PCI = 1 is configured, which means the reference signals in this set are SSBs of neighbor cell 1; similarly, for Resource set 1, PCI = 2 is configured, which means the reference signals in this set are SSBs of neighbor cell 2. Alternatively, the reference signals of different cells can be distinguished by using global resource numbers. For example, the first rule is defined as sequentially numbering the resources according to the order of cell ID. For example, the first rule is defined as: PCI*N_res+n, where PCI represents the cell ID number, N_res represents the maximum number of reference signal resources of each cell, and n represents the reference signal resource of the PCI cell, n = 0, 1,..., N_res-1.

[0175] wherein PCI represents the cell ID number, N_res represents the maximum number of reference signal resources of each cell, and n represents the reference signal resource of the PCI cell, n = 0, 1,..., N_res-1.

[0176] For example, assume N_res = 8. According to the above configuration, the 4 SSBs in resource setting 0 are sequentially numbered 0, 1, 2, 3. Thus, the 6 SSBs in resource set 0 in resource setting 2 are sequentially numbered 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13; the 8 SSBs in resource set 1 are sequentially numbered 16, 17,..., 23; and the 4 SSBs in resource set 2 are sequentially numbered 24, 25, 26, 27.

[0177] Example 2:

[0178] The base station configures N=5 reporting configurations for the terminal, denoted as ReportSetting0, ReportSetting1,..., ReportSetting4. The reporting type of the N=5 reporting configurations is that the reporting type of ReportSetting0 is periodic reporting, the reporting type of ReportSetting1 and ReportSetting2 is semi-persistent reporting, and the reporting type of ReportSetting3 and ReportSetting4 is aperiodic reporting. Each reporting configuration is associated with a resource setting. For example, ReportSetting3 is associated with ResourceSetting3. Among them, ResourceSetting0 contains a resource set, and the resource set contains S=4 SSBs of the current cell. ResourceSetting1 contains a resource set, and the resource set contains S=4 CSI-RS for mobility resources of the current cell. ResourceSetting2 contains 3 resource sets, each of which corresponds to a neighbor cell and contains reference signal resources of the neighbor cell. For example, resource set 0 contains 6 SSBs of neighbor cell 1, resource set 1 contains 8 SSBs of neighbor cell 2, and resource set 2 contains 4 SSBs of neighbor cell 3. Similarly, ReportSetting3 and ReportSetting4 also contain reference signal resources of multiple neighbor cells.

[0179] The base station uses MAC-CE signaling to indicate the activation and deactivation of different types of reporting configurations. The MAC-CE contains a reporting type indication and an activation / deactivation flag. If the reporting type indication of the MAC-CE is semi-persistent reporting and the flag is set to 1, the terminal starts measuring the reference signal resources of ReportSetting1 and ReportSetting2. That is, the terminal starts measuring the 4 CSI-RS for mobility resources of the current cell corresponding to ResourceSetting1 and the 18 SSBs contained in ResourceSetting2. Similarly, if the reporting type indication in the MAC-CE is aperiodic reporting and the flag is set to 1, the terminal starts measuring the reference signal resources corresponding to ResourceSetting3 / 4. In addition, the MAC-CE can also activate semi-persistent reporting configurations at the same time. That is, the measurement results of ReportSetting1 and ReportSetting2 are reported at the same time. The semi-persistent reporting can be performed after receiving the MAC-CE and after an offset value.

[0180] Alternatively, the MAC-CE contains the indication of the serving cell or the neighbor cell, and the activation and deactivation flag. If the MAC-CE indicates the serving cell and the flag is 1, the terminal starts to measure the reference signal resources of the serving cell, i.e. ResourceSetting0 and ResourceSetting1. If the MAC-CE indicates the neighbor cell and the flag is 1, the terminal starts to measure the reference signal resources of the neighbor cell.

[0181] Further, the MAC-CE can contain both the periodic / semi-persistent / non-periodic reporting type indication and the indication of the serving cell and the neighbor cell.

[0182] The remaining steps are similar to Example 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0183] Example 3:

[0184] The base station configures M=2 trigger states (TriggerState) for the terminal. TriggerState0 is associated with 3 reporting configurations, denoted as ReportSetting0, ReportSetting1, ReportSetting2. TriggerState1 is associated with 2 reporting configurations, denoted as ReportSetting3, ReportSetting4. The reporting type of the N=5 reporting configurations is non-periodic reporting. Each reporting configuration is associated with a resource setting. For example, ReportSetting3 is associated with ResourceSetting3. Among them, ResourceSetting0 contains a resource set, which contains S=4 SSBs of the serving cell. ResourceSetting1 contains a resource set, which contains S=4 CSI-RS for mobility resources of the serving cell. ResourceSetting2 contains 3 resource sets, each corresponding to a neighbor cell, which contains reference signal resources of the neighbor cell. For example, resource set 0 contains 6 SSBs of neighbor cell 1, resource set 1 contains 8 SSBs of neighbor cell 2, and resource set 2 contains 4 SSBs of neighbor cell 3. Similarly, ReportSetting3 and ReportSetting4 also contain reference signal resources of multiple neighbor cells.

[0185] The base station uses MAC-CE signaling to indicate the activation and deactivation of the reporting configuration corresponding to one or more TriggerState. If TriggerState0 is indicated in the MAC-CE, and the flag bit is set to 1, the terminal starts measuring the reference signal resources of ReportSetting0, ReportSetting1 and ReportSetting2. That is, the terminal starts measuring the 4 SSBs of the current cell corresponding to ResourceSetting0, the 4 CSI-RS for mobility resources of the current cell corresponding to ResourceSetting1, and the 18 SSBs contained in ResourceSetting2. Similarly, if TriggerState1 is indicated in the MAC-CE, and the flag bit is set to 1, the terminal starts measuring the reference signal resources corresponding to ResourceSetting3 / 4.

[0186] The remaining steps are similar to Example 1 and will not be repeated.

[0187] Example 4:

[0188] The base station configures M=16 reference signal resources for the terminal. Two reference signal resource groups are configured. Reference signal resource group 0 contains reference signal resources 0-7; reference signal resource group 1 contains reference signal resources 8-15. The reference signal resource grouping can be performed according to the reference signal resources of the current cell, the reference signal resources of the neighboring cell, SSB and CSI-RS for mobility. For example, reference signal resource group 0 contains 8 SSBs of the current cell, and reference signal resource group 1 contains 8 SSBs of the neighboring cell. The base station uses MAC-CE signaling to indicate the activation and deactivation of different reference signal resource groups. The MAC-CE contains reference signal resource group indication and activation / deactivation flag bit.

[0189] If the reference signal resource group indication of the MAC-CE indicates resource group 0, and the flag bit is set to 1, the terminal starts measuring reference signal resources 0-7. If the reference signal resource group indication of the MAC-CE indicates resource group 0, and the flag bit is set to 0, the terminal stops measuring reference signal resources 0-7.

[0190] Example 5:

[0191] In the above Examples 1-4, the base station activates and deactivates the reference signal measurement by sending two MAC-CEs. For example, when the flag bit in the MAC-CE is set to 1, it indicates that the measurement of the reference signal is activated; when the flag bit in the MAC-CE is set to 0, it indicates that the measurement of the reference signal is deactivated.

[0192] Another method is that the base station configures a timer. The length of the timer is configured by the base station. When the base station activates the measurement of the reference signal by the MAC-CE, the timer takes effect. After the time indicated by the timer, the UE automatically deactivates the measurement of the reference signal. In this way, the base station does not need to send a MAC-CE again to indicate the deactivation of the measurement of the reference signal.

[0193] The timer can also be a time window configured by the base station. The base station configures the length of the time window and the starting time offset of the measurement window. When the MAC-CE activates the measurement of the reference signal, the terminal starts the measurement of the reference signal after the time indicated by the offset, and continues until the end of the time window.

[0194] Based on the above method, the embodiments of the present application can reduce the cell switching delay by configuring the terminal to measure the reference signal of the neighboring cell and feed back the measurement result. Further, the embodiments of the present application can save the measurement time of the terminal and reduce the power consumption of the terminal by grouping to realize the activation and deactivation of the measurement and configuring the expected arrival time parameter.
