Wearable devices, also known as wearable smart devices, are a general term for devices that utilize wearable technology to intelligently design and develop everyday wearables, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. Wearable devices are portable devices that are worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not merely hardware devices, but also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are feature-rich, large in size, and can achieve complete or partial functions without relying on a smartphone, such as smartwatches or smart glasses, as well as those that focus on a specific type of application function and require the use of other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

The communication system 100 may include a network device 110, which may be a device that communicates with a terminal device 120 (or a communication terminal, terminal). The network device 110 can provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area and can communicate with terminal devices located within that coverage area.

This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0040] Optionally, the communication system 100 may also include other network entities such as a network controller and a mobility management entity, which is not limited in this embodiment.
[0041] It should be understood that devices with communication functions in the network / system of this application embodiment can be referred to as communication devices. Figure 1Taking the communication system 100 shown as an example, the communication equipment may include a network device 110 and a terminal device 120 with communication functions. The network device 110 and the terminal device 120 may be the specific devices described above, which will not be repeated here. The communication equipment may also include other devices in the communication system 100, such as network controllers, mobility management entities and other network entities. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0042] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this document. The term "and / or" in this document merely describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0043] It should be understood that the term "instruction" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct instruction, an indirect instruction, or an indication of a relationship. For example, A instructing B can mean that A directly instructs B, such as B being able to obtain information through A; it can also mean that A indirectly instructs B, such as A instructing C, so B can obtain information through C; or it can mean that there is a relationship between A and B.
[0044] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "correspondence" may indicate that there is a direct or indirect correspondence between two things, or that there is an association between two things, or that there is a relationship of instruction and being instructed, configuration and being configured, etc.
[0045] In some cases, the measurement configurations sent by network devices to terminal devices can be based on each frequency layer or on each measurement reference signal.
[0046] For example, a measurement configuration based on SSB may include at least one of the following:
[0047] The measurement period, or SSB burst, or SMTC period, can be, for example, 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 60ms, etc.
[0048] Measurement window: SMTC;
[0049] Measurement window offset: SMTC offset;
[0050] Measurement interval configuration: MG type (pattern), measurement repetition period (MGRP), etc.
[0051] Measured quantities: such as Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), etc.
[0052] For example, a CSI-RS-based measurement configuration may include at least one of the following:
[0053] The measurement period can be, for example, 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 60ms, etc.;
[0054] Transmission bandwidth;
[0055] Measure bandwidth;
[0056] Parameters used for generating the reference signal;
[0057] Subcarrier spacing;
[0058] Correlation between CSI-RS and SSB for RRM measurements
[0059] CSI-RS time and frequency resources;
[0060] Measured quantities, such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc.
[0061] In some scenarios, SSB and beam can have the following relationship:
[0062] A group of SSBs constitutes the SS / PBCH burst set;
[0063] The SS / PBCH Burst set is sent periodically, for example, the period can be 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 60ms, etc.
[0064] There is a certain correspondence between SS / PBCH blocks and beams: SS blocks with the same index that are periodically and repeatedly transmitted are quasi-co-located (QCL);
[0065] In the same SS / PBCH burst set, SSBs at different indices are generally not assumed to have a QCL relationship.
[0066] An SS / PBCH burst set can support beam sweeping. For example, in an 8-beam system, the 8 beams can correspond to 8 receiving beam (Rx beam) directions.
[0067] In some scenarios, different receive beam sets (Rx beam sets) can be defined for the measurement of different measurement objects (MOs). In this case, how to define the attributes of the receive beam set to meet the power saving requirements of the terminal device is an urgent problem to be solved.
[0068] In view of this, this application provides a signal measurement method, which allows the terminal device to perform measurements based on the receive beam set capability information sent by the network device, thereby helping to meet the power saving requirements of the terminal.
[0069] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a signal measurement method 200 provided in an embodiment of this application. The method 200 can be performed by... Figure 1 The terminal device in the communication system shown performs, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method 200 may include at least some of the following:
[0070] S230, the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device, the first configuration information including the capability information of receiving beam set, the capability information of receiving beam set being used to indicate the number and / or width of the beams included in the receiving beam set;
[0071] S240, the terminal device receives the first configuration information from the network device;
[0072] S250, the terminal device measures the measurement reference signal sent by the network device according to the first configuration information.
[0073] Optionally, the measurement reference signal can be any downlink reference signal, such as SSB, CSI-RS, positioning reference signals (PRS), phase tracking reference signals (PT-RS), demodulation reference signals (DMRS), etc. The demodulation reference signal may include DMRS used for demodulation of the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), and this application is not limited thereto.
[0074] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the first configuration information may be configured by the network device. For example, the network device may send the first configuration information through semi-static signaling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, or dynamic signaling, such as Downlink Control Information (DCI).
[0075] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first configuration information may be sent to the terminal device together with the measurement configuration described above; for example, the first configuration information may be carried in the measurement configuration.
[0076] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first configuration information may be predefined, for example, the standard-defined first configuration information may be preset in the memory of the terminal device.
[0077] In this application embodiment, the first configuration information may be applicable to all UEs, or each UE may have its own first configuration information. When all UEs correspond to the same first configuration information, as an example, the first configuration information may be sent to the UE to which the first configuration information is applicable via a broadcast message.
[0078] It should be understood that the embodiments of this application can be applied to the measurement of downlink reference signals, or in other optional embodiments, the embodiments of this application can also be applied to the measurement of sidelink reference signals. In this case, the measurement reference signal can be a sidelink-related reference signal, such as a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB), a sidelink channel state information reference signal (SL CSI-RS), a DMRS, etc., wherein the DMRS includes DMRS used for demodulation of the Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH), Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH), and Physical Sidelink Broadcast Channel (PSBCH), and this application is not limited thereto.
[0079] It should be understood that when applied to the measurement of side-line signals, the first configuration information may be configured by the network device, or it may be configured by other terminal devices, such as the head terminal of the terminal group to which the terminal device belongs, or it may be predefined or pre-configured, and this application is not limited thereto.
[0080] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the capability information of the receiving beam set (Rx beam Set) may include any beam parameters that affect the measurement results, such as the number of beams, the beam width, the beam signal strength, the beam coverage, the beam angle, etc. This application only uses the number of beams and the beam width as examples for illustration, but this application is not limited to these.
[0081] In this embodiment of the application, a receiving beam set may include a group of beams, and the capability information of the receiving beam set includes the number and / or width of the group of beams.
[0082] For example, the number of beams in a set can be one or more. In some embodiments, the network device can configure different numbers of receiving beams for the terminal device according to different scenario requirements. For example, a larger number of receiving beams can be configured for the capability information of the receiving beam set used for serving cell measurement, and a smaller number of receiving beams can be configured for the capability learning of the receiving beam set used for neighboring cell measurement. Furthermore, when the terminal device performs measurements based on the above configuration, it is beneficial to save power for the terminal device.
[0083] For example, the width of the set of beams can be of two types, such as a broad beam and a narrow beam, or even more. For instance, multiple width levels can be set, with different width levels corresponding to different coverage areas or different coverage angles. As an example, three width levels can be set, corresponding to coverage areas of 15 degrees, 20 degrees, and 30 degrees respectively. This application is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the network device can also configure different width receiving beams for the terminal device according to different scenario requirements. For example, a narrower receiving beam can be configured for the capability information of the receiving beam set used for serving cell measurement, while a wider receiving beam can be configured for the capability learning of the receiving beam set used for neighboring cell measurement. It can be understood that the energy of the narrow beam is concentrated, and the coverage area is far, so the power consumption is greater. Furthermore, when the terminal device performs measurements based on the above configuration, it is beneficial to save power for the terminal device.
[0084] In this embodiment of the application, the receiving beam set can be referred to as an Rx beam Set, and the capability information of a receiving beam set can be referred to as an Rx beam Set configuration. The first configuration information may include one Rx beam Set configuration, for example, Rx beam Set Configuration 0 (8 beams, and / or fine), or it may include multiple Rx beam Set configurations, for example, Rx beam Set Configuration 0 (8 beams, and / or fine), Rx beam Set Configuration 1 (8 beams, and / or rough), Rx beam Set Configuration 2 (4 beams, fine), and Rx beam Set Configuration 3 (4 beams, rough).
[0085] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, before S230, the method 200 further includes:
[0086] S210, the terminal device reports its supported receive beam set capability information to the network device.
[0087] Optionally, the terminal device may support one or more receiving beam sets, meaning that the terminal device may support one or more Rx beam set configurations.
[0088] Furthermore, in S220, the network device can determine the first configuration information based on the capability information of the receiving beam sets supported by the terminal device. For example, the first configuration information may include one or more of the capability information of the receiving beam sets supported by the terminal device, or it may include capability information of more receiving beam sets; this application is not limited thereto.
[0089] The following describes the specific configuration method of the receiving beam set capability information with reference to specific embodiments.
[0090] Example 1: The first configuration information includes capability information for receiving a beam set.
[0091] In this case, the capability information of the receiving beam set can be used for downlink measurements of all scenarios of the terminal device, such as measurements based on different measurement reference signals, or measurements of different MOs, etc. That is, the measurements of different scenarios of the terminal device all adopt this set of Rx beam Set configuration.
[0092] Example 2: The first configuration information includes capability information of at least one receiving beam set, corresponding to at least one measurement reference signal, and the capability information of each receiving beam set is used for measurement based on the corresponding measurement reference signal.
[0093] In this embodiment 2, the capability information of the receiving beam set is configured per RS, that is, each measurement reference signal can correspond to the corresponding Rx beam Set configuration.
[0094] As an example, the measurement reference signal includes SSB and CSI-RS, and the capability information of the at least one receiving beam set includes capability information of a first receiving beam set and capability information of a second receiving beam set, wherein the capability information of the first receiving beam set is used for SSB measurement, and the capability information of the second receiving beam set is used for CSI-RS measurement.
[0095] Furthermore, SSB-based measurements can use the capability information of the first receive beam set, while CSI-RS-based measurements can use the capability information of the second receive beam set.
[0096] Optionally, the Rx beam Set configuration corresponding to different measurement reference signals can be determined based on the measurement results obtained by measuring the serving cell based on the measurement reference signal.
[0097] By configuring a corresponding Rx beam Set for different measurement reference signals, it is beneficial to ensure the consistency of measurement results when measuring the same cell based on different measurement reference signals. This can avoid the problem of different measurement results obtained based on different measurement reference signals affecting subsequent cell handover and causing Radio Link Failure (RLF).
[0098] Example 3: The first configuration information includes the capability information of the receiving beam set corresponding to at least one measurement object, and the measurement of a measurement object is based on the capability information of the corresponding receiving beam set.
[0099] In this embodiment 3, the capability information of the receiving beam set is configured per MO, meaning that each MO can correspond to a corresponding Rx beam Set configuration.
[0100] Optionally, in this embodiment, the measurement object corresponds to a co-frequency measurement layer or a different-frequency measurement layer. In other words, the measurement object can be a co-frequency cell, a different-frequency cell, or a different-system cell, or the measurement object can be a co-frequency point, a different-frequency point, or a different-system cell of the serving cell of the terminal device.
[0101] Optionally, the number of receiver beam set capability information corresponding to each measurement object may be one or more.
[0102] As an example 3-1, the capability information of the receiving beam set corresponding to the measurement object includes the capability information of a receiving beam set, that is, each MO can be configured with a set of Rx beam Set configurations.
[0103] This Rx beam Set configuration can be used to measure the MO under any circumstances, such as based on any measurement reference signal. In other words, this Rx beam Set configuration can be used to measure the MO based on any measurement reference signal.
[0104] As an example 3-2, the capability information of the receiving beam set corresponding to the measurement object includes the capability information of multiple receiving beam sets, that is, each MO can be configured with multiple Rx beam Set configurations.
[0105] Optionally, the multiple Rx beam Set configurations can be configured based on different measurement reference signals, or they can be configured based on other attributes. For example, if there are multiple cells corresponding to the MO, then the corresponding Rx beam Set configuration can be used to measure different cells corresponding to the MO. This application is not limited to this.
[0106] As a specific example, the capability information of the receiving beam set corresponding to the measurement object includes the capability information of the third receiving beam set and the capability information of the fourth receiving beam set. The capability information of the third receiving beam set is used for SSB measurement, and the capability information of the fourth receiving beam set is used for CSI-RS measurement.
[0107] By configuring the corresponding Rx beam Set for different measurement objects using the first configuration information, it is beneficial to meet the flexibility and better measurement accuracy requirements for different MO measurements.
[0108] Furthermore, for the same MO's Rx beam Set configuration, configuring the corresponding Rx beam Set configuration according to different measurement reference signals helps to ensure the consistency of measurement results when measuring the same MO based on different measurement reference signals.
[0109] In Example 3-2, the terminal device can determine which Rx beam set configuration to use based on which measurement reference signal is used to measure the MO. For example, if the MO is configured for SSB measurement, the terminal device can use the Rx beam set configuration corresponding to the SSB to measure the MO. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the terminal device can also determine which Rx beam set configuration to use to measure the MO by combining the correlation relationship of the measurement reference signals or the QCL relationship.
[0110] As an example, if the MO is configured for measurement based on SSB and CSI-RS, the terminal device determines the target Rx beam Set configuration to be used for measurement in the corresponding Rx beam Set configuration of SSB and CSI-RS according to the association between CSI-RS and SSB.
[0111] For example, if the SSB and the CSI-RS are not associated, measurements based on different measurement reference signals can be performed using the corresponding Rx beam Set configuration.
[0112] For example, if the SSB is the associated SSB of the CSI-RS, and the SSB and the CSI-RS satisfy the QCL relationship, then measurements based on the SSB and the CSI-RS can both use the Rx beam Set configuration corresponding to the SSB.
[0113] For example, if the SSB is the associated SSB of the CSI-RS, and the SSB and the CSI-RS do not satisfy the quasi-co-addressable QCL relationship, then when performing measurements based on the SSB and the CSI-RS, any one of the multiple Rx beam Set configurations or a specific Rx beam Set configuration can be used.
[0114] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the fact that SSB and CSI-RS do not satisfy the quasi-co-located QCL relationship can refer to the fact that the beam directions of CSI-RS and SSB are different.
[0115] When selecting the Rx beam Set configuration, choosing based on the correlation of the measurement reference signal helps reduce unnecessary switching of the receiving beam used for measurement and improves system performance.
[0116] Optionally, the specific Rx beam Set configuration may be the first Rx beam Set configuration among multiple Rx beam Set configurations, i.e., Rx beam Set configuration 0, or the last Rx beam Set configuration among multiple Rx beam Set configurations.
[0117] Optionally, the specific Rx beam Set configuration can be the Rx beam Set configuration with the most beams among the multiple Rx beam Set configurations, or the Rx beam Set configuration with the most beams and the narrowest beams.
[0118] Optionally, the specific Rx beam Set configuration can be the Rx beam Set configuration with the fewest beams among the multiple Rx beam Set configurations, or the Rx beam Set configuration with the fewest and widest beams.
[0119] Optionally, in some embodiments, the multiple Rx beam Set configurations may include a basic Rx beam Set configuration, or default configuration, which may be an Rx beam Set configuration supported by all UEs.
[0120] Optionally, the basic Rx beam set configuration can be determined based on the measurement results of the measurement reference signal on the serving cell. For example, over a period of time, multiple sets of measurement results can be obtained by measuring the measurement reference signal on the serving cell based on different Rx beam set configurations, and the basic Rx beam set configuration can be further determined based on these multiple sets of measurement results. For example, the Rx beam set configuration corresponding to the optimal set of measurement results over a period of time can be used as the basic Rx beam set configuration, or the Rx beam set configuration corresponding to a set of measurement results that meets a specific threshold can be used as the basic Rx beam set configuration, etc., and this application is not limited to these.
[0121] Example 4: The first configuration information includes the capability information of the receiving beam set corresponding to at least one frequency point.
[0122] In this embodiment 4, the capability information of the receiving beam set is configured per frequency layer, meaning that each frequency layer can correspond to a specific Rx beam set configuration.
[0123] Optionally, in some embodiments, one frequency point corresponds to one cell or multiple cells. That is, one cell can support one or more frequency points, and multiple cells can use the same frequency point.
[0124] As an example 4-1, the Rx beam Set corresponding to each frequency point is configured as one set.
[0125] This Rx beam Set configuration can be used for all measurements of cells at this frequency. Alternatively, this Rx beam Set configuration can be used for measurements of different reference signals at cells at this frequency.
[0126] As an example 4-2, the Rx beam Set for each frequency point is configured as multiple sets.
[0127] Optionally, the multiple Rx beam Set configurations can each correspond to multiple cells corresponding to the frequency point. When measuring the measurement reference signal on different cells of the frequency point, the measurement can be performed based on the Rx beam Set configuration corresponding to that cell.
[0128] Optionally, the multiple Rx beam Set configurations can each correspond to different measurement reference signals, so the measurement of different reference signals on the cell at this frequency point can be based on the Rx beam Set configuration corresponding to the measurement reference signal.
[0129] Example 5: The first configuration information includes the capability information of the receiving beam set corresponding to at least one cell.
[0130] In this embodiment 5, the capability information of the receiving beam set is configured per cell, meaning that each cell can correspond to a specific Rx beam Set configuration.
[0131] Optionally, in some embodiments, a cell corresponds to one frequency point or multiple frequency points. That is, a cell can support one frequency point or multiple frequency points.
[0132] As an example 5-1, each cell point corresponds to one Rx beam Set configuration.
[0133] This Rx beam Set configuration can be used to measure different reference signals on the cell at this frequency.
[0134] As an example 5-2, each cell has multiple Rx beam sets configured.
[0135] Optionally, the multiple Rx beam Set configurations can each correspond to different measurement reference signals, so the measurement of different reference signals on the cell can be based on the Rx beam Set configuration corresponding to the measurement reference signal.
[0136] Optionally, the multiple Rx beam Set configurations can each correspond to multiple frequency points of the cell. When measuring the measurement reference signal at different frequency points of the cell, the measurement can be performed based on the Rx beam Set configuration corresponding to that frequency point.
[0137] In some scenarios, the measurement results obtained from measuring the same cell based on different Rx beam Set configurations may differ. This leads to network devices performing cell handover based on the reported measurement results, which in turn causes problems when the network uses these measurement results to determine whether a cell handover has occurred.
[0138] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, measurements are performed on the serving cell based on Rx beam Set configuration 0 (8 beams and / or fine beams), and on the neighboring cell based on Rx beam Set configuration 3 (4 beams and / or rough). Due to the concentrated energy and long coverage of narrow beams, the measurement results of the serving cell are usually 3 dB higher than those of the neighboring cell.
[0139] In light of this technical problem, in some embodiments of this application, the first configuration information is further used to configure a measurement compensation amount, which is used to compensate for the measurement amount obtained by measuring according to the capability information of the received beam set.
[0140] Optionally, in other embodiments of this application, the measurement compensation amount may also be predefined. For example, the standard-defined measurement compensation amount may be preset in the memory of the terminal device, or pre-configured, for example, through semi-static signaling, such as RRC signaling or broadcast messages.
[0141] It should be understood that in the embodiments of this application, the measurement compensation amount can be configured through the same message or signaling as the Rx beam Set configuration, or it can be configured through different messages or signaling. The following description takes the configuration of the measurement compensation amount through the first configuration information as an example, but this application is not limited thereto.
[0142] In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes capability information of a reference receiving beam set (or reference Rx beam Set configuration) and capability information of at least one non-reference receiving beam set (non-reference Rx beam Set configuration), wherein the measurement compensation amount is a compensation amount of at least one measurement amount relative to a reference measurement amount, wherein the at least one measurement amount is a measurement amount obtained by measuring according to the capability information of the at least one non-reference receiving beam set, and the reference measurement amount is a measurement amount obtained by measuring according to the capability information of the reference receiving beam set.
[0143] Optionally, the baseline Rx beam Set configuration can be the baseline Rx beam Set configuration described above, which can be an Rx beam Set configuration supported by all UEs.
[0144] Furthermore, the method for determining the baseline Rx beam Set configuration can refer to the method for determining the baseline Rx beam Set configuration described above, and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.
[0145] As an example, the baseline Rx beam Set configuration is determined based on the measurement results of the measurement reference signal (e.g., SSB) on the serving cell of the terminal device.
[0146] Optionally, the measurement compensation amount can be determined based on the measurement results obtained from measuring the reference signal on the same cell based on different Rx beam Set configurations.
[0147] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the measurement compensation amount can be determined based on the measurement result at a single moment, or it can be determined based on the measurement result over a period of time. This application is not limited thereto.
[0148] The specific implementation of the measurement compensation amount will be described below with reference to Example 6.
[0149] Example 6
[0150] Example 6-1: The first configuration information includes at least one set of measurement compensation quantities, and each set of measurement compensation quantities corresponds to the capability information of a non-reference receiving beam set.
[0151] That is, the measurement compensation amount can be per Rx beam Set configuration, meaning that each non-reference Rx beam Set configuration can correspond to a set of measurement compensation amounts.
[0152] For example, if a non-reference Rx beam Set configuration includes a first non-reference Rx beam Set configuration, then when performing a measurement based on the first non-reference Rx beam Set configuration, the measurement result can be compensated according to a set of measurement compensation values corresponding to the first non-reference Rx beam Set configuration.
[0153] Method 1: Each set of measurement compensation includes one measurement compensation.
[0154] Optionally, the measurement compensation amount corresponds to at least one type of measurement amount, that is, different types of measurement results can be compensated using the same measurement compensation amount.
[0155] Method 2: Each set of measurement compensation includes multiple measurement compensation values.
[0156] Optionally, the multiple measurement compensation quantities correspond to various types of measurement quantities, meaning that different types of measurement results can be compensated using the corresponding measurement compensation quantities.
[0157] Optionally, the measurement quantity includes at least one of the following:
[0158] Reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal-to-interference-to-noise ratio (SINR).
[0159] Example 6-2: The first configuration information includes multiple sets of measurement compensation values.
[0160] Optionally, the multiple sets of measurement compensation quantities correspond to multiple measurement reference signals, and each set of measurement compensation quantities is used to compensate for the measurement quantities obtained based on the corresponding measurement reference signals.
[0161] As an example, the first configuration information includes two sets of measurement compensation quantities, corresponding to SSB and CSI-RS respectively. The two sets of measurement compensation quantities are used to compensate for the measurement results obtained based on SSB and CSI-RS.
[0162] Method 1: Each set of measurement compensation includes one measurement compensation.
[0163] Optionally, the measurement compensation amount corresponds to at least one type of measurement amount, that is, different types of measurement results can be compensated using the same measurement compensation amount.
[0164] Method 2: Each set of measurement compensation includes multiple measurement compensation values.
[0165] Optionally, the multiple measurement compensation quantities correspond to various types of measurement quantities, meaning that different types of measurement results can be compensated using the corresponding measurement compensation quantities.
[0166] For example, the Rx beam Set configuration 0 (8 beams and / or fine beams) mentioned above can also include multiple Rx beam Set configurations, such as Rx beam Set configuration 0 (8 beams and / or fine beams), Rx beam Set configuration 1 (8 beams and / or rough beams), Rx beam Set configuration 2 (4 beams, fine beams) and Rx beam Set configuration 3 (4 beams, rough beams). Rx beam Set configuration 0 can be the baseline Rx beam Set configuration, while the others are non-baseline Rx beam Set configurations.
[0167] As an example, Rx beam Set configuration 1, Rx beam Set configuration 2 and Rx beam Set configuration 3 each correspond to a measurement compensation amount.
[0168] As another example, Rx beam Set configuration 1, Rx beam Set configuration 2 and Rx beam Set configuration 3 correspond to three measurement compensation values, which are used for compensation when the measurement results are RSRP, RSRQ and SINR, respectively.
[0169] As another example, there can be two sets of measurement compensation values, one set corresponding to SSB and the other set corresponding to CSI-RS. For each set of measurement compensation values, Rx beam Set configuration 1, Rx beam Set configuration 2 and Rx beam Set configuration 3 each correspond to one measurement compensation value, or they can correspond to three measurement compensation values.
[0170] It should be understood that in the embodiments of this application, the above embodiments 1-6 can be implemented individually or in combination, and this application is not limited thereto.
[0171] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the method 200 further includes:
[0172] The terminal device compensates the measurement quantity obtained based on the measurement reference signal according to the measurement compensation amount;
[0173] The compensated measurements are reported to the network device.
[0174] The compensated measurement results are reported to the network device during measurement reporting, which solves the inconsistency of measurement results when reporting measurements based on different Rx beamSet configurations. This avoids network devices making incorrect judgments during cell reselection or cell handover, which could lead to RLF issues.
