[0064] In the evolution of 5G, beamforming technology is employed in the FR2 millimeter-wave band, allowing terminals to receive signals using the optimal receiving beam, resulting in wider uplink coverage and higher transmission rates. Simultaneously, the introduction of beamforming introduces spatial dimensions into terminal transmission, meaning that physical resources at the same time and frequency can be further reused using different beams. To enable faster measurement and scheduling of terminal mobile resources, dual-link capabilities are introduced, and the efficient use of these capabilities needs to be addressed.

[0065] To this end, this disclosure proposes a terminal configuration method and apparatus to achieve flexible processing for different service requirements, which greatly improves the measurement rate of mobile resources by the terminal device, or allows for more flexible scheduling of terminal mobile resources.

[0066] The switching method and apparatus provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a terminal configuration method according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, this method is applied to a terminal device and includes the following steps.

[0068] Step 101: Report the receiving capability of the dual links to the network side.

[0069] In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device reports its dual-link reception capability to the network, specifically reporting whether the terminal device possesses dual-link reception capability. When the terminal reports this capability, it may use, but is not limited to, a reception capability identifier. A reception capability identifier of 1 indicates that the terminal device has dual-link reception capability, while a identifier of 0 indicates that the terminal device does not have dual-link reception capability. Other expressions are also possible, and the specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0070] The terminal device reports whether it has dual-link receiving capability to the network side, so that the network side can configure the terminal device to have dual-link receiving capability according to service requirements.

[0071] Based on the terminal device-side method described above, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a network-side terminal configuration method, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0072] Step 201: Receive the dual-link receiving capability reported by the receiving terminal device.

[0073] In embodiments of this disclosure, after receiving information about the dual-link receiving capability from a terminal device, the network side determines whether the terminal device possesses dual-link receiving capability. If it does, dual-link configuration is performed on the terminal device. If it does not possess dual-link receiving capability, dual-link configuration is not performed on the terminal device.

[0074] Step 202: In response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability, configure the terminal device for dual-link according to service requirements.

[0075] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network side, the network side receives the dual-link receiving capability reported by the terminal device; in response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability, the network side configures the terminal device with dual links according to service requirements, thereby realizing flexible processing for different service requirements, greatly improving the measurement rate of mobile resources by the terminal device, or more flexibly scheduling the terminal's mobile resources.

[0076] In some embodiments of this disclosure, if the terminal device has dual-link receiving capability, the network side will configure the terminal device for dual links according to service requirements. The terminal device needs to receive the dual-link configuration sent by the network side and execute the configuration. Specifically, for example... Figure 2 As shown, a method for configuring a terminal is provided, the method including:

[0077] Step 301: The terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network side.

[0078] The descriptions of the embodiments in this disclosure regarding the terminal device's ability to report dual-link reception to the network will not be repeated here; please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figure 1 Related descriptions.

[0079] Step 302: The network side receives the dual-link reception capability reported by the terminal device.

[0080] Step 303: In response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability, the network side configures the terminal device for dual-link according to service requirements.

[0081] It should be noted that the service requirements in the embodiments of this disclosure can be, but are not limited to, the need for rapid network measurement, the need for simultaneous measurement of different types of data in the network, or the need for both measurement and data reception in the network. Other types of requirements are also possible, and the specific embodiments of this disclosure do not limit these requirements.

[0082] Based on the different business requirements mentioned above, the dual-link configuration information sent from the network side to the terminal devices will differ. Specifically, it may include, but is not limited to, the following:

[0083] When there is a need for rapid measurement in the network, dual-link configuration information for rapid measurement signaling is sent to the terminal device. The rapid measurement signaling includes the first content to be measured.

[0084] When there is a need for the network to perform different types of measurements simultaneously, dual-link configuration information for sending measurement signaling is sent to the terminal device, and the measurement signaling includes a second content to be measured.

[0085] When there is a need for both measurement and reception data to coexist in the network, dual-link configuration information of the scheduling signaling is sent to the terminal device. The scheduling signaling includes the third measurement content and the reception data configuration.

[0086] Step 304: The terminal device receives the dual-link configuration information sent by the network.

[0087] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the dual-link configuration information received by the terminal device from the network can be, but is not limited to, any of the following: fast measurement signaling, measurement signaling, or scheduling signaling, wherein the scheduling signaling includes the configuration for measuring and receiving data.

[0088] Step 305: The terminal device performs the corresponding dual-link operation according to the dual-link configuration information.

[0089] In an implementation of this disclosure, when the terminal device performs a corresponding dual-link operation based on the dual-link configuration information, it performs different dual-link operations based on different received signaling. Specifically, these operations can be, but are not limited to, the following:

[0090] In response to receiving dual-link configuration information as fast measurement signaling from the network device, the dual links are configured to simultaneously measure the first content to be measured contained in the fast measurement signaling using beams from different directions.

[0091] In response to receiving dual-link configuration information as measurement signaling from the network device, the dual links are configured to simultaneously measure the second content to be measured contained in the measurement signaling.

[0092] In response to receiving dual-link configuration information as scheduling signaling from the network device, the first path of the dual links is configured to measure the third content to be measured contained in the scheduling signaling; and the second path of the dual links is configured to receive the corresponding data contained in the scheduling signaling.

[0093] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the terminal device reports its dual-link reception capability to the network side, the network side receives the dual-link reception capability reported by the terminal device. In response to the terminal device having dual-link reception capability, the network side configures the terminal device for dual-link according to service requirements. The terminal device performs corresponding dual-link operations according to the dual-link configuration issued by the network side, thereby realizing flexible processing for different service requirements and greatly improving the measurement rate of mobile resources by the terminal device, or more flexibly scheduling the terminal's mobile resources.

[0094] Based on the above description, the following embodiments will illustrate the terminal configuration methods for different service requirements. When the network requires rapid measurement and the terminal device has dual-link receiving capability, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a terminal configuration method is provided, the method including:

[0095] Step 401: The terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network.

[0096] The descriptions of the embodiments in this disclosure regarding the terminal device's ability to report dual-link reception to the network will not be repeated here; please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figure 1 Related descriptions.

[0097] Step 402: The network side receives the dual-link reception capability reported by the terminal device.

[0098] Step 403: In response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability and the network having a need for rapid measurement, the network side sends dual-link configuration information for rapid measurement signaling to the terminal device. The rapid measurement signaling includes the first content to be measured.

[0099] In embodiments of this disclosure, when the network side determines that the terminal device has dual-link receiving capability, it determines, based on actual service requirements, that the network has a need for rapid measurement. For example, in scenarios where the terminal moves at high speed, the terminal needs to complete rapid measurement to cope with the corresponding scenario. In this case, the network side sends dual-link configuration information for rapid measurement signaling to the terminal device. This rapid measurement signaling can be, but is not limited to, RRC signaling.

[0100] It should be noted that the embodiments of this disclosure include a first measurable content that needs to be measured quickly in the rapid measurement signaling sent from the network. The first measurable content can be, but is not limited to, any of the following:

[0101] The measurements include Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP), Radio Link Monitoring (RLM), Beam Failure Discovery (BFD), Candidate Beam Detection (CBD), SSB, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and other terminal mobility resource management related measurements.

[0102] Step 404: The terminal device receives the fast measurement signaling sent by the network device, and in response to receiving the dual-link configuration information sent by the network device as fast measurement signaling, configures the dual links to simultaneously measure the first content to be measured contained in the fast measurement signaling using beams from different directions.

[0103] In embodiments of this disclosure, when a terminal device receives a fast measurement signaling message issued by the network device, the fast measurement signaling message, as described above, includes a first measurement content. The terminal device can measure any one of the first measurement content, namely, L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD, CBD, SSB, CSI-RS, and other terminal mobility resource management related measurement content, in different directional beams. In particular, for measurements using SSB as the reference signal, since SSB contains eight beams in different directions, the terminal device needs to measure eight beams in different receiving directions. After configuring dual-link measurement, the terminal device can simultaneously complete the measurement of two beams in different receiving directions, and the measurement time is only half that of the original single-link measurement. Furthermore, for measurements using CSI-RS as the reference signal, in some special cases, it is also necessary to complete measurements of multiple beam directions. When multiple beam directions need to be measured using CSI-RS as the reference signal, dual-link fast measurement of multiple CSI-RS beam directions is configured.

[0104] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, it should be noted that after the network side configures dual-link fast measurement for the terminal device, since the reception of both links of the terminal device is used for measurement, the network side will not schedule other services for the terminal device during the time when the corresponding terminal device is configured to perform measurement, such as receiving data or performing other types of measurement. Otherwise, the terminal device will not be able to complete the fast measurement requirement.

[0105] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network side, the network side receives the dual-link receiving capability reported by the terminal device. In response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability, based on the network's need for rapid measurement, the terminal device is configured with dual-link fast measurement signaling. This enables rapid measurement of the corresponding content by dual-link receiving under the fast measurement requirement, greatly improving the terminal device's measurement rate of mobile resources.

[0106] Based on the above description, the following embodiments will illustrate the terminal configuration methods for different service requirements. When the network has different types of measurement requirements, and the terminal device has dual-link receiving capability, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a terminal configuration method is provided, the method including:

[0107] Step 501: The terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network.

[0108] The descriptions of the embodiments in this disclosure regarding the terminal device's ability to report dual-link reception to the network will not be repeated here; please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figure 1 Related descriptions.

[0109] Step 502: The network side receives the dual-link reception capability reported by the terminal device.

[0110] Step 503: In response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability and the network having a need to perform different types of measurements simultaneously, the network side sends dual-link configuration information for measurement signaling to the terminal device, wherein the measurement signaling includes a second content to be measured.

[0111] In embodiments of this disclosure, when the network side determines that the terminal device has dual-link receiving capability, it determines, based on actual service requirements, that the network needs to perform different types of measurements simultaneously. For example, in a scenario where the terminal device needs to quickly perform beam recovery, it needs to perform both BFD and CBD measurements simultaneously, i.e., simultaneously scanning and measuring existing beam failures and candidate beams. In this case, the network side sends dual-link configuration information for measurement signaling to the terminal device. This measurement signaling can be, but is not limited to, RRC signaling.

[0112] The embodiments of this disclosure should be noted that the measurement signaling sent from the network includes a second measurable content to be measured, which includes at least two different types of measurement requirements. The two different types of measurement requirements can be, but are not limited to, any two of the following:

[0113] The measurements include Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP), Radio Link Monitoring (RLM), Beam Failure Discovery (BFD), Candidate Beam Detection (CBD), SSB, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and other terminal mobility resource management related measurements.

[0114] Step 504: The terminal device receives the measurement signaling sent by the network device, and in response to receiving the dual-link configuration information sent by the network device as measurement signaling, configures the dual links to simultaneously measure the second content to be measured contained in the measurement signaling.

[0115] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the terminal device receives the measurement signaling sent by the network device, the measurement content in the measurement signaling as described above includes BFD and CBD. The terminal device is configured with dual links to perform BFD and CBD scanning measurements simultaneously, which can provide candidate beams for switching more quickly, and achieve faster beam switching and link recovery.

[0116] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, it should be noted that after the network side configures dual-link measurement for the terminal device, since the reception of both links of the terminal device is used for measurement, the network side will not schedule other services for the terminal device during the time when the corresponding terminal device is configured to perform measurement, such as receiving data or performing other types of measurement. Otherwise, the terminal device will not be able to complete the requirement of rapid measurement.

[0117] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network side, the network side receives the dual-link receiving capability reported by the terminal device. In response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability, based on the network's need to perform different types of measurements simultaneously, the terminal device is configured with dual-link measurement signaling. This enables the dual-link receiving to complete the measurement of different types of measurement content for different types of measurement needs, greatly improving the terminal device's measurement rate of mobile resources.

[0118] Based on the above description, the following embodiments will illustrate the terminal configuration methods for different service requirements. When the network requires both measurement and reception data to coexist, and the terminal device has dual-link reception capability, such as... Figure 6 As shown, a terminal configuration method is provided, the method including:

[0119] Step 601: The terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network.

[0120] The descriptions of the embodiments in this disclosure regarding the terminal device's ability to report dual-link reception to the network will not be repeated here; please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figure 1 Related descriptions.

[0121] Step 602: The network side receives the dual-link reception capability reported by the terminal device.

[0122] Step 603: In response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability and the network having a requirement for both measurement and reception data to coexist, the network side sends dual-link configuration information of the scheduling signaling to the terminal device. The scheduling signaling includes the third measurement content and the reception data configuration.

[0123] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the network side determines that the terminal device has dual-link receiving capability, it determines, based on actual service requirements, that there is a need for both measurement and reception data to coexist in the network, and the network side sends dual-link configuration information of scheduling signaling to the terminal device.

[0124] It should be noted that the embodiments of this disclosure include a third content to be measured and a received data configuration in the scheduling signaling sent from the network. The third content to be measured can be, but is not limited to, any of the following:

[0125] Measurement content related to L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD, CBD, and other terminal mobile resource management.

[0126] Step 604: The terminal device receives the scheduling signaling issued by the network device, and in response to receiving the dual-link configuration information issued by the network device as scheduling signaling, configures the first link in the dual links to measure the third content to be measured contained in the scheduling signaling; and configures the second link in the dual links to receive the corresponding data contained in the scheduling signaling.

[0127] In embodiments of this disclosure, the scheduling signaling described above includes a third measurement content. The terminal device can measure any one of the third measurement content, namely, L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD, CBD, and other terminal mobility resource management related measurement content. When the terminal device receives the scheduling signaling issued by the network device, one link performs measurement on any one of L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD, CBD, and other terminal mobility resource management related measurement content, while the other link transmits data services to ensure that data services are not interrupted during measurement.

[0128] It should be noted here that after the network side configures the terminal device with signaling that measurement and data reception can be carried out simultaneously, the network will not interrupt data services due to measurement, and the terminal device can be continuously configured to receive data during the measurement time.

[0129] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the terminal device reports its dual-link receiving capability to the network side, the network side receives the dual-link receiving capability reported by the terminal device; in response to the terminal device having dual-link receiving capability, based on the requirement that measurement and receiving data coexist in the network, the terminal device is configured with dual-link scheduling signaling to realize simultaneous measurement and receiving of data, and more flexibly schedule terminal mobile resources.
