According to the present disclosure, the terminal can measure the signal strength of CRS and report the measurement result to the network device, so that the network device can determine the CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference to the physical downlink channel based on the measurement result, and then instruct the terminal to perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference. Then the terminal can only perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference, and does not need to perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively small degree of interference, thereby reducing the number of CRS patterns that need to be RM, alleviating the limitation on the physical downlink channel capacity, and helping to improve the performance and scheduling flexibility of the NR system.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement result reporting method, a measurement result receiving method, a measurement result reporting device, a measurement result receiving device, a communication device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) scenario, the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system and the NR (New Radio) system can coexist on the same spectrum resources. This causes some information sent by the LTE system to interfere with the NR system.

[0003] For example, when the RE (Resource Element) corresponding to the cell reference signal (Cell-specific Reference Signal, CRS, also called cell-level reference signal) sent by the LTE system conflicts with the RE corresponding to the physical downlink channel in the NR system, the terminal will receive the physical downlink channel on the conflicting RE. There will be interference, which will reduce the demodulation performance of the physical downlink channel in the NR system.

[0004] To address the above issues, rate matching (RM) based on the CRS pattern can be used to overcome them to a certain extent. For example, when receiving the PDSCH, the terminal can consider the presence of the CRS. The network equipment maps the PDSCH to REs without CRS. Correspondingly, the terminal detects and receives the physical downlink channel on REs that do not transmit CRS.

[0005] In some cases, such as when the terminal is at the junction of multiple cells, it will be interfered with by the CRS emitted by multiple cells. In this case, rate matching needs to be performed according to the CRS patterns of multiple cells. However, rate matching based on too many CRS patterns will severely limit the capacity of the physical downlink channel and affect the performance and scheduling flexibility of the NR system. Summary of the Invention

Then the terminal can only perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively large interference degree, and does not need to perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively small interference degree, thereby reducing the number of CRS patterns that need to be RM, alleviating the limitation on the physical downlink channel capacity, and helping to improve the performance and scheduling flexibility of the NR system.

[0031] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0032] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0033] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in the embodiments of the present disclosure, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other.

Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

However, those skilled in the art will understand that the term "greater than" also encompasses the meaning of "greater than or equal to," and "less than" also encompasses the meaning of "less than or equal to," and the term "higher than" also encompasses the meaning of "higher than or equal to," and "lower than" also encompasses the meaning of "lower than or equal to."

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for reporting measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The measurement result reporting method illustrated in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal, including but not limited to a mobile phone, tablet computer, wearable device, sensor, IoT device, and other communication devices. The terminal can communicate with network devices, including but not limited to network devices in 4G, 5G, and 6G communication systems, such as base stations and core networks.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the measurement result reporting method may include the following steps:

[0037] In step S101, the signal strength of the cell reference signal CRS is measured to obtain a measurement result;

[0038] In step S102, the measurement result is reported to a network device, wherein the measurement result is used to assist the network device in determining a CRS pattern for rate matching of the terminal.

[0039] It should be noted that in all embodiments of the present disclosure, CRS includes the CRS in the LTE system; the physical downlink channel includes the physical downlink channel in the NR system, including but not limited to PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel). Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device can determine the CRS pattern for rate matching of the terminal and indicate it to the terminal, and the terminal can perform rate matching on the PDSCH according to the CRS pattern indicated by the network device.

[0040] For the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), network equipment can perform puncturing based on the CRS pattern. The method for determining the CRS pattern based on which the PDCCH is punctured is similar to the method for determining the CRS pattern based on which the PDSCH is rate matched. That is, the terminal can measure the signal strength of the CRS to obtain a measurement result, and then report the measurement result to the network equipment. The measurement result is used to assist in determining the CRS pattern for puncturing the PDCCH.

[0041] In addition, the terminal and network device in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be co-located or non-co-located.

[0042] In one embodiment, the terminal may measure the signal strength of the CRS, where the signal strength includes but is not limited to RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power), SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), etc. The terminal may then report the measurement result to the network device to assist the network device in determining the CRS pattern for the terminal to perform rate matching RM.

[0043] For example, the physical downlink channel of the terminal is interfered with by multiple CRS patterns, but the interference degree of each CRS pattern is different. For example, the greater the signal strength of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern, the greater the interference degree to the NR signal transmission. Therefore, the terminal can obtain the measurement result by measuring the signal strength of the CRS corresponding to each CRS pattern and report it.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal can measure the signal strength of the CRS and report the measurement result to the network device, so that the network device can determine the CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference to the physical downlink channel based on the measurement result, and then instruct the terminal to perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference. Then the terminal can only perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference, and does not need to perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively small degree of interference, thereby reducing the number of CRS patterns that need to be RM, alleviating the limitation on the physical downlink channel capacity, and helping to improve the performance and scheduling flexibility of the NR system.

[0045] For example, if the physical downlink channel of the terminal is interfered with by the first CRS pattern and the second CRS pattern in the corresponding time-frequency domain resources, the terminal can measure the signal strength of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the first CRS pattern to obtain a first measurement result, and measure the signal strength of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern to obtain a second measurement result.

[0046] Among them, the terminal can report all the obtained measurement results, for example, report both the first measurement result and the second measurement result to the network device, and the network device determines which measurement result corresponds to the CRS pattern that requires the terminal to perform RM. For example, the network device can determine in the received measurement result that the CRS pattern corresponding to the measurement result with a signal strength greater than the strength threshold is the CRS pattern that requires the terminal to perform RM;

[0047] The terminal may also first analyze the measurement results, and then determine the CRS pattern for which RM is desired. For example, the measurement results may include the mean of the CRS signal strength in the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern. Then the terminal may determine that the CRS pattern corresponding to the mean greater than the mean threshold (relatively strong interference to the physical downlink channel) is the CRS pattern for which RM is desired. The measurement results of the CRS pattern for which RM is desired are then reported to the network device. The network device may determine the CRS pattern for which the terminal desires to perform RM as the CRS pattern for which the terminal needs to perform RM based on the measurement results reported by the terminal, or may determine the CRS pattern for which the terminal needs to perform RM based on actual conditions.

[0048] It should be noted that the measurement result can be the signal strength of the measured CRS, or it can be information related to the CRS pattern for which rate matching is expected to be performed, which is further obtained after measuring the signal strength of the CRS. For example, the network device can indicate the CRS pattern to be measured, and the terminal can measure the signal strength of the CRS in the CRS pattern to be measured. The terminal can report the measured signal strength as the measurement result, and can determine the average signal strength of the CRS in each CRS pattern to be measured. Then, the identifier of the CRS pattern to be measured corresponding to the average signal strength greater than the strength threshold is determined and reported as the measurement result. The reported identifier is the identifier of the CRS pattern for which rate matching is expected to be performed.

[0049] In one embodiment, the method further includes: determining a CRS pattern for which rate matching needs to be performed based on indication information sent by the network device.

[0050] For example, the network device determines, based on the measurement results reported by the terminal, that the first CRS pattern is the CRS pattern for the terminal to perform RM. Then, the terminal may be instructed to perform RM on the first CRS pattern through indication information. When receiving the physical downlink channel, the terminal may consider the existence of the CRS in the first CRS pattern. The network device maps the physical downlink channel to the RE outside the first CRS pattern. Correspondingly, the terminal detects and receives the physical downlink channel on the RE outside the first CRS pattern.

[0051] For the second CRS pattern, the terminal does not need to perform RM, so the terminal can ignore the existence of CRS in the second CRS pattern. The network device can map the physical downlink channel to the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern. Correspondingly, the terminal can detect and receive the physical downlink channel on the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern.

[0052] Accordingly, when the terminal is interfered with by the first CRS pattern and the second CRS pattern in the physical downlink channel, the network device can determine the first CRS pattern with relatively strong interference as the CRS pattern that requires RM, while for the second CRS pattern with relatively weak interference, it is not necessary to instruct the terminal to perform RM. Therefore, when configuring the physical downlink channel, it is not necessary to perform RM on the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern, which is conducive to improving the capacity of the physical downlink channel and improving the performance and scheduling flexibility of the NR system.

[0053] In one embodiment, the terminal may report the measurement results to the network device by carrying uplink control information (UCI, Uplink Control Information), channel state information (CSI), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), etc., and may also choose to report the measurement results by carrying other information as needed.

[0054] In an embodiment, measuring the signal strength of a cell reference signal CRS to obtain a measurement result includes: measuring the signal strength of the CRS within a predetermined resource range to obtain a measurement result.

[0055] The predetermined resource range may be determined according to a protocol agreement, indicated by a network device, or determined autonomously by the terminal.

[0056] For example, when the network device indicates the resource range, the network device may indicate the resource range to the terminal through signaling, wherein the network device may determine the resource range based on actual conditions or based on the measurement capability reported by the terminal.

[0057] In one embodiment, the resource range includes a time domain resource range, wherein it is not expected to receive signals other than CRS or perform data transmission within the time domain resource range, and it is also possible not to send signals or data to the network device. Correspondingly, the network device does not send signals or data other than CRS to the terminal within the time domain resource range, and may not receive signals or data sent by the terminal. Accordingly, it can be ensured that the terminal's measurement of CRS within the time domain resource range is not easily interfered with, which is conducive to ensuring accurate measurement results.

[0058] In one embodiment, the time domain resource range may be determined according to a predefined rule (eg, a protocol agreement) or may be indicated by a network device.

[0059] Take the example of determining the time domain resource range according to the indication of the network device. For example, the time domain resource range may include a time window, and the terminal may determine the time window according to the starting position and duration indicated by the network device, or may determine the time window according to the starting position and end position indicated by the network device. For example, the time domain resource range may include at least one time domain unit (radio frame, subframe, time slot, symbol, etc.), and the terminal may determine the time domain resource range according to the starting time domain unit and the number of time domain units indicated by the network device. The time window may be periodic or aperiodic, and may be set as needed.

[0060] It should be noted that the resource range may include not only the time domain resource range but also the frequency domain resource range. The frequency domain resource range may include, for example, at least one frequency domain unit (frequency band, carrier unit, partial bandwidth, etc.).

[0061] Figure 2A It is a schematic diagram showing a resource range according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] like Figure 2A As shown, taking the resource range including the time window in the time domain and the partial bandwidth BWP (BandWidth Part) in the frequency domain, the physical downlink channel is interfered by the first CRS pattern and the second CRS pattern within the BWP as an example, the terminal can Figure 2AThe RSRP of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the first CRS pattern is measured within the time window and BWP shown, and the RSRP of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern is measured, and the obtained measurement results are reported to the network device.

[0063] Figure 2B is a schematic diagram showing another resource range according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0064] like Figure 2B As shown, the resource range includes a time window in the time domain and a first frequency domain range (e.g., BWP) within the carrier unit CC (Component Carrier) in the frequency domain. The time window may include three parts. In the first part, the terminal is configured to perform RF retuning, for example, RF tuning to the second frequency domain range. In the second part, the terminal measures the signal strength of the CRS. In the third part, the terminal can return from the second frequency domain range to the first frequency domain range through RF tuning.

[0065] The terminal is interfered with by the first CRS pattern in the first frequency domain, and interfered with by the second CRS pattern in the second frequency domain. Figure 2B In the second part of the time window shown, the RSRP of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern can be measured, and the obtained measurement result can be reported to the network device.

[0066] It should be noted that the duration for measurement in the above time window (the second part) and the duration for RF tuning (the first part and the third part) can be determined according to predefined rules (such as protocol agreements) or indicated by the network device.

[0067] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method for reporting measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, measuring the signal strength of the cell reference signal CRS includes:

[0068] In step S301, a CRS pattern to be tested is determined according to signaling of a network device;

[0069] In step S302, determining the resource element RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be tested within the predetermined resource range;

[0070] In step S303, the signal strength on each of the REs is measured to obtain a measurement result.

[0071] In one embodiment, the terminal can determine that it is necessary to measure the signal strength of the CRS on the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be tested based on the CRS pattern to be tested (which may include one or more CRS patterns) indicated by the network device. Then, the signal strength on the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be tested can be measured within a predetermined resource range to obtain the measurement result for reporting.

[0072] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine that the signal strength of the CRS needs to be measured on the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be measured based on the CRS pattern to be measured indicated by the network device. Therefore, in the process of obtaining the measurement results, it is not necessary to measure the RE outside the CRS pattern, which is conducive to simplifying the measurement process and saving the implementation complexity of the terminal.

[0073] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method for reporting measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, reporting the measurement result to the network device includes:

[0074] In step S401, the average value of the signal strength measured on each RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be measured is determined;

[0075] In step S402, the relevant identifier of the CRS pattern to be measured corresponding to the mean value greater than the preset mean value threshold is determined;

[0076] In step S403, the relevant identifier is reported to the network device.

[0077] In one embodiment, after measuring the signal strength on the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be tested, the terminal can further calculate the mean of the signal strengths on these REs, and then determine that the CRS pattern to be tested corresponding to the mean greater than the mean threshold has a relatively large degree of interference on the physical downlink channel, so that the CRS pattern to be tested corresponding to the mean can be reported to the network device as the CRS pattern expected to perform RM.

[0078] In order to save resources occupied by reporting, the content of the report can be simplified, that is, instead of directly reporting the measurement result or the mean, the relevant identifier of the CRS pattern to be measured corresponding to the mean greater than the mean threshold is determined, such as the serial number of the CRS pattern, the identifier of the cell corresponding to the CRS pattern, etc., and then the determined relevant identifier is reported to the network device. The network device can determine the CRS pattern that the terminal expects to perform RM based on the relevant identifier.

[0079] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method for reporting measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, measuring the signal strength of the cell reference signal CRS includes:

[0080] In step S501, the signal strength of a received signal is measured in REs within the predetermined resource range;

[0081] In step S502, determining an RE pattern consisting of REs whose signal strength is greater than a preset strength threshold;

[0082] In step S503, a matching pattern that matches the RE pattern is determined in pre-stored CRS patterns;

[0083] In step S504, the measurement result is determined according to the signal strength corresponding to the RE in the matching pattern.

[0084] In one embodiment, if the network device does not indicate the CRS pattern to be measured, the terminal does not know which REs need to be measured. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the signal strength of the received signals of all REs in a predetermined resource range and determine the REs whose signal strength is greater than a preset strength threshold. Since the signal strength at these REs is relatively large, they are REs where CRS may be present.

[0085] In addition, for each number of ports (for example, 1 port, 2 ports, and 4 ports), the CRS pattern is fixed, that is, the relationship between the REs used to send CRS is fixed. Then the terminal can pre-store the CRS pattern corresponding to each number of ports, and for the REs where CRS may exist, an RE pattern can be constructed, and then the pre-stored CRS pattern is matched with the RE pattern.

[0086] Then, the matching pattern that matches the RE pattern in the pre-stored CRS pattern is the CRS pattern that will cause interference to the physical downlink channel, that is, it is equivalent to the CRS pattern to be measured. Therefore, the measurement result can be determined according to the signal strength corresponding to the RE in the matching pattern.

[0087] Accordingly, the CRS pattern to be measured can be determined when the network device does not indicate the CRS pattern to be measured, and then the measurement result can be determined according to the signal strength corresponding to the RE in the matching pattern and reported to the network device.

[0088] For example, multiple CRS patterns may be pre-stored, and then the matching degree between each pre-stored CRS pattern and the measured RE pattern may be determined. A CRS pattern with a matching degree greater than a matching threshold may be used as a matching pattern.

[0089] Among them, the matching degree can be determined according to the number of overlapping REs. For example, the more overlapping REs corresponding to the CRS pattern and the RE pattern determined by the measurement, the higher the matching degree; the matching degree can also be determined according to the signal strength of the RE corresponding to the pre-stored CRS pattern. For example, for each pre-stored CRS pattern, the mean signal strength of the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern can be measured separately. The larger the mean signal strength, the higher the matching degree.

[0090] It should be noted that the matching pattern can be one CRS pattern or multiple CRS patterns. In addition, when no matching pattern is determined, the terminal may not report the measurement result, or may report the measurement result and add additional information to the measurement result, where the additional information is used to indicate that no matching pattern is determined. The network device can then selectively determine that there is no CRS pattern that requires the terminal to perform RM.

[0091] In one embodiment, reporting the measurement result to the network device includes: reporting the characteristics of the matching pattern to the network device.

[0092] In one embodiment, the measurement results of the signal strength corresponding to the RE in the matching pattern can be directly reported to the network device, or the characteristics of the matching pattern can be determined and then reported to the network device, wherein the characteristics of the matching pattern are used to characterize the information of the RE corresponding to the matching pattern, including but not limited to the number of ports corresponding to the matching pattern.

[0093] In addition to the above-mentioned method of reporting measurement results, you can also Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment, the cell identifier corresponding to the measurement result is determined and reported to the network device to save uplink transmission resources.

[0094] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method for reporting measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, reporting the measurement results to the network device includes:

[0095] In step S601, the average value of the signal strength measured on each RE corresponding to the matching pattern is determined;

[0096] In step S602, a target pattern corresponding to a mean value greater than a preset mean value threshold is determined;

[0097] In step S603, determining a cell identifier corresponding to a CRS sequence measured in an RE of the target pattern;

[0098] In step S604, the cell identifier is reported to the network device.

[0099] In one embodiment, the measurement results of the signal strength corresponding to the RE in the matching pattern can be directly reported to the network device, or the characteristics of the matching pattern can be reported. However, the measurement results and characteristics generally have a relatively large amount of data, and reporting to the network device occupies more uplink resources. Therefore, it can be considered to simplify the reported information.

[0100] The terminal can determine the association between the CRS sequence and the cell identifier, and based on this, the terminal can determine the cell identifier corresponding to each CRS sequence. The terminal can then calculate the average of the signal strength on the RE corresponding to the matching pattern, and then determine that the target pattern corresponding to the average value greater than the preset average threshold has a relatively large degree of interference to the physical downlink channel, so that the target pattern can be used as the CRS pattern for RM.

[0101] In order to save resources occupied by reporting, the content of the report can be simplified. For example, the cell identifier corresponding to the CRS sequence can be determined in the association relationship based on the CRS sequence measured in the RE of the target pattern, and then the cell identifier can be reported to the network device.

[0102] Since the network device stores the correspondence between the cell identifier and the CRS pattern (the terminal side may not store the correspondence in this embodiment), the network device can determine the CRS pattern of the RM expected by the terminal based on the cell identifier reported by the terminal.

[0103] Figure 7 This is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for receiving measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The measurement result receiving method illustrated in this embodiment can be executed by a network device that can communicate with a terminal. The network device includes, but is not limited to, a base station in a communication system such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, and a 6G base station. The terminal includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an IoT device, and other communication devices.

[0104] like Figure 7 As shown, the measurement result receiving method may include the following steps:

[0105] In step S701, a measurement result obtained by a terminal measuring the signal strength of a cell reference signal (CRS) is received, wherein the measurement result is used to assist in determining a CRS pattern for rate matching by the terminal.

[0106] In one embodiment, the terminal may measure the signal strength of the CRS, where the signal strength includes but is not limited to RSRP, SINR, etc. The terminal may then report the measurement result to the network device to assist the network device in determining the CRS pattern for the terminal to perform rate matching RM.

[0107] For example, the physical downlink channel of the terminal is interfered with by multiple CRS patterns, but the interference degree of each CRS pattern is different. For example, the greater the signal strength of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern, the greater the interference degree to the NR signal transmission. Therefore, the terminal can obtain the measurement result by measuring the signal strength of the CRS corresponding to each CRS pattern and report it.

[0108] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a network device can determine a CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference to a physical downlink channel based on a measurement result obtained by a terminal measuring the signal strength of a CRS, and then instruct the terminal to perform RM on the CRS pattern with a relatively large degree of interference. This allows the terminal to perform RM only on CRS patterns with a relatively large degree of interference, while not having to perform RM on CRS patterns with a relatively small degree of interference, thereby reducing the number of CRS patterns that require RM, alleviating the limitation on the physical downlink channel capacity, and facilitating improving the performance and scheduling flexibility of the NR system.

[0109] For example, if the physical downlink channel of the terminal is interfered with by the first CRS pattern and the second CRS pattern in the corresponding time-frequency domain resources, the terminal can measure the signal strength of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the first CRS pattern to obtain a first measurement result, and measure the signal strength of the CRS in the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern to obtain a second measurement result.

[0110] Among them, the terminal can report all the obtained measurement results, for example, report both the first measurement result and the second measurement result to the network device, and the network device determines which measurement result corresponds to the CRS pattern that requires the terminal to perform RM. For example, the network device can determine in the received measurement result that the CRS pattern corresponding to the measurement result with a signal strength greater than the strength threshold is the CRS pattern that requires the terminal to perform RM;

[0111] The terminal may also first analyze the measurement results, and then determine the CRS pattern for which RM is desired. For example, the measurement results may include the mean of the CRS signal strength in the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern. Then the terminal may determine that the CRS pattern corresponding to the mean greater than the mean threshold (relatively strong interference to the physical downlink channel) is the CRS pattern for which RM is desired. The measurement results of the CRS pattern for which RM is desired are then reported to the network device. The network device may determine the CRS pattern for which the terminal desires to perform RM as the CRS pattern for which the terminal needs to perform RM based on the measurement results reported by the terminal, or may determine the CRS pattern for which the terminal needs to perform RM based on actual conditions.

[0112] It should be noted that the measurement result can be the signal strength of the measured CRS, or it can be information related to the CRS pattern for which rate matching is expected to be performed, which is further obtained after measuring the signal strength of the CRS. For example, the network device can indicate the CRS pattern to be measured, and the terminal can measure the signal strength of the CRS in the CRS pattern to be measured. The terminal can report the measured signal strength as the measurement result, and can determine the average signal strength of the CRS in each CRS pattern to be measured. Then, the identifier of the CRS pattern to be measured corresponding to the average signal strength greater than the strength threshold is determined and reported as the measurement result. The reported identifier is the identifier of the CRS pattern for which rate matching is expected to be performed.

[0113] In one embodiment, the method further includes: determining a CRS pattern for the terminal to perform rate matching based on the measurement result; and sending indication information to the terminal, wherein the indication information is used to indicate the CRS pattern for which rate matching needs to be performed.

[0114] For example, the network device determines, based on the measurement results reported by the terminal, that the first CRS pattern is the CRS pattern for the terminal to perform RM. Then, the terminal may be instructed to perform RM on the first CRS pattern through indication information. When receiving the physical downlink channel, the terminal may consider the existence of the CRS in the first CRS pattern. The network device maps the physical downlink channel to the RE outside the first CRS pattern. Correspondingly, the terminal detects and receives the physical downlink channel on the RE outside the first CRS pattern.

[0115] For the second CRS pattern, the terminal does not need to perform RM, so the terminal can ignore the existence of CRS in the second CRS pattern. The network device can map the physical downlink channel to the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern. Correspondingly, the terminal can detect and receive the physical downlink channel on the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern.

[0116] Accordingly, when the terminal is interfered with by the first CRS pattern and the second CRS pattern in the physical downlink channel, the network device can determine the first CRS pattern with relatively strong interference as the CRS pattern that requires RM, while for the second CRS pattern with relatively weak interference, it is not necessary to instruct the terminal to perform RM. Therefore, when configuring the physical downlink channel, it is not necessary to perform RM on the RE corresponding to the second CRS pattern, which is conducive to improving the capacity of the physical downlink channel and improving the performance and scheduling flexibility of the NR system.

[0117] In one embodiment, the network device may obtain the measurement result from uplink control information UCI, channel state information CSI, PUSCH, etc. sent by the terminal. Of course, the network device may also obtain the measurement result from other information sent by the terminal for reporting.

[0118] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method for receiving measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the method further includes:

[0119] In step S801, a resource range for measuring the signal strength of the CRS is configured for the terminal.

[0120] In one embodiment, the network device may configure a resource range for measuring the signal strength of the CRS for the terminal, and the terminal may measure the signal strength of the CRS within the resource range configured by the network device to obtain a measurement result. For example, when the network device indicates the resource range, the network device may indicate the resource range to the terminal through signaling, wherein the network device may determine the resource range based on actual conditions or based on the measurement capability reported by the terminal.

[0121] In one embodiment, the resource range includes a time domain resource range, wherein within the time domain resource range, no signal or data other than CRS is sent to the terminal, and no signal or data sent by the terminal may be received. Correspondingly, within the time domain resource range, it is not expected to receive signals other than CRS or perform data transmission, and no signal or data may be sent to the network device. Accordingly, it can be ensured that the terminal's measurement of CRS within the time domain resource range is not easily interfered with, which is conducive to ensuring accurate measurement results.

[0122] For example, the time domain resource range may include a time window, and the network device may indicate the starting position and duration of the time window to the terminal, and may also indicate the starting position and end position of the time window to the terminal. For example, the time domain resource range may include at least one time domain unit (radio frame, subframe, time slot, symbol, etc.), and the network device may indicate the starting time domain unit and the number of time domain units of the time domain resource range to the terminal.

[0123] It should be noted that the resource range may include not only the time domain resource range but also the frequency domain resource range. The frequency domain resource range may include, for example, at least one frequency domain unit (frequency band, carrier unit, partial bandwidth, etc.).

[0124] Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of another method for receiving measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 As shown, the method further includes:

[0125] In step S901, a CRS pattern to be measured is indicated to the terminal through signaling, wherein the CRS pattern to be measured is used by the terminal to determine the measurement result.

[0126] In one embodiment, the network device can indicate the CRS pattern to be tested (which may include one or more CRS patterns) to the terminal through signaling. The terminal can determine that it is necessary to measure the signal strength of the CRS on the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be tested based on the CRS pattern to be tested indicated by the network device. Then, the signal strength on the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be tested can be measured within a predetermined resource range to obtain the measurement result for reporting.

[0127] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine that the signal strength of the CRS needs to be measured on the RE corresponding to the CRS pattern to be measured based on the CRS pattern to be measured indicated by the network device. Therefore, in the process of obtaining the measurement results, it is not necessary to measure the RE outside the CRS pattern, which is conducive to simplifying the measurement process and saving power of the terminal.
