[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0034] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure. The singular forms “a” and “the” as used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0035] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various information in embodiments of this disclosure, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, first information may also be referred to as second information without departing from the scope of embodiments of this disclosure, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to a determination."
[0036] For the sake of brevity and ease of understanding, this document uses the terms "greater than" or "less than", "higher than" or "lower than" to describe size relationships. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the term "greater than" also includes the meaning of "greater than or equal to", and "less than" also includes the meaning of "less than or equal to"; the term "higher than" also includes the meaning of "higher than or equal to", and "lower than" also includes the meaning of "lower than or equal to".
[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a measurement indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The measurement indication method shown in this embodiment can be applied to a base station, which can communicate with a terminal acting as a user equipment or with a core network.
[0038] The terminals include, but are not limited to, communication devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and IoT devices. The base stations include, but are not limited to, base stations in communication systems such as 4G base stations, 5G base stations, and 6G base stations.
[0039] In one embodiment, the base station may be another base station corresponding to the cell where the terminal is currently located. It should be noted that, in all embodiments of this disclosure, wireless charging refers to the base station wirelessly charging the terminal, wherein the wireless charging method includes at least one of the following: electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic resonance, and radio frequency.
[0040] In one embodiment, the base station charges the terminal wirelessly via radio frequency, specifically through air-to-ground charging. Air-to-ground charging refers to the base station's ability to transmit energy to the terminal via multiple antennas in millimeter-wave and narrow-bandwidth formats. The terminal can receive the energy through a miniature beacon antenna and convert it into electrical energy, thus achieving charging. The base station's air-to-ground charging capability can also be further extended to include its ability to determine the terminal's location and then transmit energy to that location for charging.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the request sending method may include the following steps: In step S101, an instruction message is sent to the terminal, wherein the instruction message is used to instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations.
[0042] In one embodiment, the base station can send an instruction message to the terminal to instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations, thereby facilitating the base station to control the terminal's measurement actions.
[0043] The instruction terminal to measure other base stations may include neighboring base stations of the base station, as well as base stations other than neighboring base stations, and can be set as needed.
[0044] In one embodiment, the measured wireless charging capability information includes, but is not limited to, wireless charging power, wireless charging frequency domain resources, and wireless charging time domain resources.
[0045] In one embodiment, other base stations can broadcast wireless charging capability information. For example, the wireless charging capability information can be carried in system information transmitted via broadcast. The terminal can obtain the wireless charging capability information from the broadcast information by receiving the broadcast information from other base stations.
[0046] In one embodiment, the base station can send indication information to the terminal via broadcast signaling, for example, when the terminal is in an idle or inactive state, the indication information can be carried in the paging signaling for paging the terminal; the base station can also send indication information to the terminal via unicast signaling, for example, when the terminal is in a connected state, the indication information can be carried in the radio resource control signaling and sent to the terminal.
[0047] In one embodiment, the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations when the measurement conditions are met.
[0048] In addition to instructing terminals to measure their own wireless charging capabilities, base stations can further instruct terminals to measure the wireless charging capabilities of other base stations only when certain measurement conditions are met. This improves the flexibility of base station control over terminal measurement actions. In other words, base stations can be configured to trigger conditions for terminals with wireless charging capabilities to begin measurements.
[0049] In one embodiment, the measurement conditions include at least one of the following: the remaining battery power of the terminal is lower than the target battery power; the terminal is within the target area; the current time is within the target time domain resources; the duration from the current time to the time when the terminal last measured the wireless charging capability information of other base stations is greater than the target duration.
[0050] In one embodiment, the base station can instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capabilities of other base stations only when its remaining battery power is lower than a target battery power (which could be a specific battery value or a percentage of the battery power). The terminal measures the wireless charging capabilities of other base stations when it detects that its remaining battery power is lower than the target battery power.
[0051] In one embodiment, the base station may instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capabilities of other base stations only when it is within a target area (e.g., a closed area, or an area outside a closed area). The terminal may detect the relationship between its own location and the target area, and measure the wireless charging capabilities of other base stations when its own location is within the target area.
[0052] In one embodiment, the base station can instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations only when it is currently within a target time domain resource (e.g., a certain time period, or a time period outside of a certain time period). For example, the target time domain resource could be the time domain resource where other base stations broadcast wireless charging capability information. This ensures that the terminal can measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations when it is currently within the target time domain resource, without having to perform the measurement when other base stations are not broadcasting wireless charging capability information, thus saving terminal resources.
[0053] In one embodiment, the base station can instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations only if the duration between the current time and the time of the terminal's previous measurement of the wireless charging capability information of other base stations exceeds a target duration. The terminal can record the time of the previous measurement of the wireless charging capability information of other base stations, for example, referred to as time T1, and the current time as time T0. The terminal can then detect the duration between T0 and T1, and only measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations if this duration exceeds the target duration. Accordingly, the terminal can measure the wireless charging capability of other base stations whenever the duration between T0 and T1 exceeds the target duration, thereby achieving periodic measurement with a measurement period equal to or approximately equal to the target duration.
[0054] In one embodiment, the indication information is also used to indicate the target base station that the terminal needs to measure.
[0055] In addition to instructing the terminal to measure its wireless charging capabilities, the base station can further instruct the terminal to measure other base stations it needs to measure. This allows the terminal to perform measurements only on the target base station, without needing to measure other base stations. In other words, the base station can be configured to trigger a terminal with wireless charging capabilities to measure specific objects. For example, the base station can be configured to configure a terminal with wireless charging capabilities to measure information of neighboring base stations with wireless charging capabilities. On the one hand, this increases the flexibility of the base station in controlling the terminal's measurement actions; on the other hand, it saves terminal resources and avoids unnecessary measurements.
[0056] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to instruct the terminal to report measured wireless charging capability information.
[0057] The base station can also instruct the terminal to report the wireless charging capability information of other base stations through indication information, thereby facilitating the base station to control the reporting action of the terminal.
[0058] In one embodiment, the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report the measured wireless charging capability information when the reporting conditions are met.
[0059] In addition to instructing terminals to report their wireless charging capabilities, base stations can further instruct terminals to report wireless charging capability information only when certain reporting conditions are met. This improves the flexibility of base stations in controlling terminal reporting actions.
[0060] In one embodiment, the reporting condition includes: among the measured wireless charging capability information, there exists a wireless charging capability of the target type of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information that satisfies the target capability.
[0061] The terminal can obtain the wireless charging capability of the target type from the measured wireless charging capability information, and then determine whether the wireless charging capability of the target type meets the target capability. Only if the target capability is met will the terminal report the capability.
[0062] In one embodiment, the target type of wireless charging capability includes at least one of the following: wireless charging power and wireless charging efficiency.
[0063] It should be noted that the wireless charging capability of the target type is not limited to the two situations mentioned above. It can be set according to needs, such as the wireless charging frequency.
[0064] The target capability corresponds to the wireless charging capability of the target type. For example, if the target type of wireless charging capability is wireless charging power, then the target capability can be the target power, and satisfying the target capability means being greater than or equal to the target power; if the target type of wireless charging capability is wireless charging frequency, then the target capability can be the target frequency, and satisfying the target capability means being greater than or equal to the target frequency.
[0065] In one embodiment, the target capability can be indicated by the base station or agreed upon by the base station and the terminal. For example, the terminal can report its required wireless charging capability to the base station, and the base station can then use the terminal's required wireless charging capability as the target capability.
[0066] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to indicate the correlation between the target capability and the remaining battery power of the terminal.
[0067] The target capability does not have to be fixed, but can vary with the remaining battery power of the terminal. For example, the correlation between the target capability and the remaining battery power of the terminal can be positive, that is, the lower the remaining battery power of the terminal, the lower the target capability. Accordingly, when the remaining battery power of the terminal is low, the wireless charging capability of the target type only needs to meet the lower target capability, and the terminal can report the measured target capability information, so that the base station can select other base stations for the terminal to switch to in a timely manner for wireless charging.
[0068] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to instruct the terminal to filter the measured wireless charging capability information according to filtering criteria to determine which wireless charging capability information needs to be reported. In other words, the base station can be configured to trigger terminals with wireless charging capabilities to measure and report the required information.
[0069] The base station can indicate the filtering conditions to the terminal through the indication information. The terminal can filter the measured wireless charging capability information according to the filtering conditions to obtain the wireless charging capability information that needs to be reported. In this way, the terminal can report only the wireless charging capability information required by the base station, which helps to save communication resources.
[0070] In one embodiment, the filtering conditions include at least one of the following: the wireless charging power of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target power; the wireless charging efficiency of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target efficiency.
[0071] For example, if the filtering criteria include that the wireless charging power of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target power, the terminal can filter out the wireless charging capability information with a wireless charging power greater than the target power from the measured wireless charging capability information, and then only report the filtered wireless charging capability information; or if the filtering criteria include that the wireless charging efficiency of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target efficiency, the terminal can filter out the wireless charging capability information with a wireless charging efficiency greater than the target efficiency from the measured wireless charging capability information, and then only report the filtered wireless charging capability information.
[0072] It should be noted that the filtering criteria are not limited to the two situations mentioned above. The specific criteria can be set according to needs. For example, it can be that the wireless charging frequency of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is equal to the target frequency.
[0073] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to indicate to the terminal the target type of information that needs to be reported in the measured wireless charging capability information.
[0074] The base station can indicate the target type to the terminal through the indication information. The terminal can extract the wireless charging capability information of the target type from the measured wireless charging capability information according to the target type, and only report the wireless charging capability information of the target type, without having to report all types of wireless charging capability information. Therefore, the terminal can only report the wireless charging capability information of the type required by the base station, which is beneficial to saving communication resources.
[0075] In one embodiment, the target type includes at least one of the following: the identifier of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information; wireless charging power; wireless charging time domain resources; wireless charging frequency domain resources; and the level corresponding to the wireless charging capability information.
[0076] In one embodiment, the measured wireless charging information may include wireless charging power, wireless charging time-domain resources, and wireless charging frequency-domain resources. If the target type includes wireless charging power, then the terminal can report only the wireless charging power from the wireless charging information to the base station, without reporting other content from the wireless charging information.
[0077] The base station can determine the corresponding level based on the measured wireless charging capability information. For example, the level can be determined based on the wireless charging power. Wireless charging capability information with wireless charging power in a certain power range can be determined as a corresponding level. Since the number of levels is far less than the number of specific wireless charging power values, determining the level and reporting it helps to save resources for reporting wireless charging capability information.
[0078] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another measurement indication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the method further includes: In step S201, the measurement results of wireless charging capability information reported by the terminal are received; In step S202, the wireless charging capability information of other base stations is determined based on the measurement results of the wireless charging capability information.
[0079] In one embodiment, after measuring the wireless charging capability information of other base stations, the terminal can integrate the measured wireless charging capability information into a measurement result and report it to the base station, so that the base station can determine the wireless charging capability information of other base stations based on the measurement result.
[0080] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating yet another measurement indication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the method further includes: In step S301, in response to the need to perform cell handover on the terminal, the target base station to which the terminal needs to be switched is determined among the other base stations based on the wireless charging capability information of the other base stations.
[0081] In one embodiment, when a base station determines that a terminal needs to perform a cell handover, it can determine the target base station (other base stations corresponding to the cell to which the terminal needs to switch) among other base stations based on the wireless charging capability information of other base stations reported by the terminal.
[0082] For example, the base station with the highest wireless charging power can be selected as the target base station from other base stations so that the target base station can charge the terminal as quickly as possible with relatively high power; or the base station with the widest wireless charging frequency band can be selected as the target base station from other base stations so that the target base station can select a suitable wireless charging frequency to charge the terminal.
[0083] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating yet another measurement indication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, determining the target base station that the terminal needs to switch to from among the other base stations based on the wireless charging capability information of the other base stations includes: In step S401, the wireless charging requirements of the terminal are obtained; In step S402, the target base station is determined from among the other base stations to be the base station that meets the wireless charging requirements.
[0084] In one embodiment, the base station can obtain the wireless charging needs of the terminal. For example, the wireless charging needs can be reported in the measurement results in the above embodiment, or in the measurement report in the subsequent embodiment, or reported in other ways.
[0085] Furthermore, the base station can identify the target base station among other base stations that meets the wireless charging needs of the terminal, ensuring that after the terminal switches to the target base station, the target base station will provide wireless charging for the terminal, thus meeting the terminal's needs.
[0086] Meeting the wireless charging needs of the terminal can mean that the wireless charging capabilities of other base stations meet the terminal's wireless charging requirements. For example, if the terminal's wireless charging requirements include a charging power greater than power P1 and a charging frequency of f1, then the target base station can be found among other base stations that can provide a wireless charging signal with a power greater than power P1 and a frequency of f1. This ensures that after the terminal switches to the target base station, the target base station can send a wireless charging signal to the terminal with a power greater than power P1 at a frequency of f1, so as to successfully wirelessly charge the terminal.
[0087] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating yet another measurement indication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, the method further includes: In step S501, a measurement report reported by the terminal is received. In step S502, the signal quality of each of the other base stations is determined based on the measurement report; The step of determining the target base station from among the other base stations that meets the wireless charging requirement includes: In step S503, the target base station is determined from among the other base stations as one that meets the wireless charging requirements and has a signal quality greater than the target quality.
[0088] In one embodiment, the terminal can also measure the signal quality of other base stations to generate a measurement report. The base station can determine the signal quality of other base stations based on the measurement report. The signal quality can be characterized by RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) and RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality).
[0089] Furthermore, among the base stations that meet the wireless charging needs of the terminal, the base station can further determine the base station with a signal quality greater than the target quality as the target base station. Accordingly, it can be ensured that after the terminal switches to the target base station, the target base station can wirelessly charge the terminal in a manner that meets the terminal's needs, and can also communicate with the terminal using reliable communication commands.
[0090] Figure 6 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating yet another measurement indication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the method further includes: In step S601, the wireless charging request of the terminal is sent to the target base station.
[0091] In one embodiment, the base station can also send the terminal's wireless charging request to the target base station. The target base station can then provide a wireless charging configuration to the terminal based on the wireless charging request, ensuring that the configuration meets the terminal's wireless charging needs. For example, if the wireless charging request includes a wireless charging frequency f2, then the frequency in the wireless charging configuration is f2. The target base station can send the wireless charging configuration to the terminal, enabling the terminal to receive the wireless charging signal at frequency f2 for wireless charging.
[0092] Figure 7 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an indication receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The indication receiving method shown in this embodiment can be applied to a terminal, which can communicate with a base station as a user equipment or with a core network.
[0093] The terminals include, but are not limited to, communication devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and IoT devices. The base stations include, but are not limited to, base stations in communication systems such as 4G base stations, 5G base stations, and 6G base stations.
[0094] like Figure 7 As shown, the indication receiving method may include the following steps: In step S701, the terminal receives indication information sent by the base station, wherein the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations.
[0095] In one embodiment, the base station can send an instruction message to the terminal, which can then determine whether the base station requires it to measure the wireless charging capabilities of other base stations. This allows the base station to control the terminal's measurement actions.
[0096] The aforementioned other base stations may include neighboring base stations of the base station, as well as base stations other than neighboring base stations, and can be configured as needed.
[0097] In one embodiment, the measured wireless charging capability information includes, but is not limited to, wireless charging power, wireless charging frequency domain resources, and wireless charging time domain resources.
[0098] In one embodiment, other base stations can broadcast wireless charging capability information. For example, the wireless charging capability information can be carried in system information transmitted via broadcast. The terminal can obtain the wireless charging capability information from the broadcast information by receiving the broadcast information from other base stations.
[0099] In one embodiment, the base station can send indication information to the terminal via broadcast signaling, for example, when the terminal is in an idle or inactive state, the indication information can be carried in the paging signaling for paging the terminal; the base station can also send indication information to the terminal via unicast signaling, for example, when the terminal is in a connected state, the indication information can be carried in the radio resource control signaling and sent to the terminal.
[0100] In one embodiment, the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations when the measurement conditions are met.
[0101] Based on the instruction information, the terminal can further determine whether to measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations only when the measurement conditions are met. In this way, the flexibility of the base station in controlling the terminal's measurement actions can be improved.
[0102] In one embodiment, the measurement conditions include at least one of the following: the remaining battery power of the terminal is lower than the target battery power; the terminal is within the target area; the current time is within the target time domain resources; the duration from the current time to the time when the terminal last measured the wireless charging capability information of other base stations is greater than the target duration.
[0103] In one embodiment, the terminal may further determine, based on the indication information, that it will only measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations if its remaining battery power is lower than the target battery power (which could be a specific battery power value or a corresponding percentage of battery power). The terminal measures the wireless charging capability information of other base stations when it detects that its own remaining battery power is lower than the target battery power.
[0104] In one embodiment, the terminal may further determine, based on the indication information, that it will only measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations when it is within a target area (e.g., a closed area, or an area outside a closed area). The terminal can detect the relationship between its own location and the target area, and measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations when its own location is within the target area.
[0105] In one embodiment, the terminal can further determine, based on the indication information, that it will only measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations if it is currently within a target time domain resource (e.g., a certain time period, or a time period outside of a certain time period). For example, the target time domain resource could be the time domain resource where other base stations broadcast wireless charging capability information. This ensures that the terminal can measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations when it is currently within the target time domain resource, without having to perform the measurement when other base stations are not broadcasting wireless charging capability information, thus saving terminal resources.
[0106] In one embodiment, the terminal can further determine, based on the indication information, that it will only measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations if the duration between the current time and the time when the terminal last measured the wireless charging capability information of other base stations is greater than a target duration. The terminal can record the time of the last measurement of the wireless charging capability information of other base stations, for example, referred to as time T1, and the current time as time T0. The terminal can then detect the duration between T0 and T1, and only measure the wireless charging capability information of other base stations if this duration is greater than the target duration. Accordingly, the terminal can measure the wireless charging capability of other base stations whenever the duration between T0 and T1 is greater than the target duration, thereby achieving periodic measurement, with the measurement period equal to or approximately equal to the target duration.
[0107] In one embodiment, the indication information is also used to indicate the target base station that the terminal needs to measure.
[0108] Based on the instruction information, the terminal can further determine other base stations that need to be measured, so that it can perform measurements only on the target base station without measuring other base stations. On the one hand, this can improve the flexibility of the base station in controlling the terminal's measurement actions, and on the other hand, it can save terminal resources and avoid unnecessary measurements.
[0109] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to instruct the terminal to report measured wireless charging capability information.
[0110] Based on the instruction information, the terminal can further determine and report the wireless charging capability information of other base stations, thereby facilitating the base station to control the terminal's reporting actions.
[0111] In one embodiment, the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report the measured wireless charging capability information when the reporting conditions are met.
[0112] Based on the instruction information, the terminal can further determine whether to report the wireless charging capability information of the base station only when the reporting conditions are met. In this way, the flexibility of the base station in controlling the terminal's reporting actions can be improved.
[0113] In one embodiment, the reporting condition includes: among the measured wireless charging capability information, there exists a wireless charging capability of the target type of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information that satisfies the target capability.
[0114] The terminal can obtain the target type of wireless charging capability from the measured wireless charging capability information, and then determine whether the target type of wireless charging capability is the target capability. Only if the target capability is met will the terminal report the capability.
[0115] In one embodiment, the target type of wireless charging capability includes at least one of the following: wireless charging power and wireless charging efficiency.
[0116] It should be noted that the wireless charging capability of the target type is not limited to the two situations mentioned above. It can be set according to needs, such as the wireless charging frequency.
[0117] The target capability corresponds to the wireless charging capability of the target type. For example, if the target type of wireless charging capability is wireless charging power, then the target capability can be the target power, and satisfying the target capability means being greater than or equal to the target power; if the target type of wireless charging capability is wireless charging frequency, then the target capability can be the target frequency, and satisfying the target capability means being greater than or equal to the target frequency.
[0118] In one embodiment, the target capability can be indicated by the base station or agreed upon by the base station and the terminal. For example, the terminal can report its required wireless charging capability to the base station, and the base station can then use the terminal's required wireless charging capability as the target capability.
[0119] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to indicate the correlation between the target capability and the remaining battery power of the terminal.
[0120] The target capability does not have to be fixed, but can vary with the remaining battery power of the terminal. For example, the correlation between the target capability and the remaining battery power of the terminal can be positive, that is, the lower the remaining battery power of the terminal, the lower the target capability. Accordingly, when the remaining battery power of the terminal is low, the wireless charging capability of the target type only needs to meet the lower target capability, and the terminal can report the measured target capability information, so that the base station can select other base stations for the terminal to switch to in a timely manner for wireless charging.
[0121] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to instruct the terminal to filter the wireless charging capability information that needs to be reported from the measured wireless charging capability information.
[0122] The terminal can further determine the filtering conditions based on the instruction information. The terminal can filter the measured wireless charging capability information according to the filtering conditions to obtain the wireless charging capability information that needs to be reported. In this way, the terminal can only report the wireless charging capability information required by the base station, which helps to save communication resources.
[0123] In one embodiment, the filtering conditions include at least one of the following: the wireless charging power of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target power; the wireless charging efficiency of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target efficiency.
[0124] For example, if the filtering criteria include that the wireless charging power of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target power, the terminal can filter out the wireless charging capability information with a wireless charging power greater than the target power from the measured wireless charging capability information, and then only report the filtered wireless charging capability information; or if the filtering criteria include that the wireless charging efficiency of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is greater than the target efficiency, the terminal can filter out the wireless charging capability information with a wireless charging efficiency greater than the target efficiency from the measured wireless charging capability information, and then only report the filtered wireless charging capability information.
[0125] It should be noted that the filtering criteria are not limited to the two situations mentioned above. The specific criteria can be set according to needs. For example, it can be that the wireless charging frequency of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information is equal to the target frequency.
[0126] In one embodiment, the indication information is further used to indicate to the terminal the target type of information that needs to be reported in the measured wireless charging capability information.
[0127] The terminal can further determine the target type based on the instruction information. The terminal can extract the target type of wireless charging capability information from the measured wireless charging capability information based on the target type, and only report the target type of wireless charging capability information, without having to report all types of wireless charging capability information. This allows the terminal to report only the type of wireless charging capability information required by the base station, which helps to save communication resources.
[0128] In one embodiment, the target type includes at least one of the following: the identifier of other base stations corresponding to the wireless charging capability information; wireless charging power; wireless charging time domain resources; wireless charging frequency domain resources; and the level corresponding to the wireless charging capability information.
[0129] In one embodiment, the measured wireless charging information may include wireless charging power, wireless charging time-domain resources, and wireless charging frequency-domain resources. If the target type includes wireless charging power, then the terminal can report only the wireless charging power from the wireless charging information to the base station, without reporting other content from the wireless charging information.
[0130] The base station can determine the corresponding level based on the measured wireless charging capability information. For example, the level can be determined based on the wireless charging power. Wireless charging capability information with wireless charging power in a certain power range can be determined as a corresponding level. Since the number of levels is far less than the number of specific wireless charging power values, determining the level and reporting it helps to save resources for reporting wireless charging capability information.
[0131] Figure 8 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another instruction receiving method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the method further includes: In step S801, the measurement results of the wireless charging capability information of the other base stations are reported to the base station.
[0132] In one embodiment, after measuring the wireless charging capability information of other base stations, the terminal can integrate the measured wireless charging capability information into a measurement result and report it to the base station, so that the base station can determine the wireless charging capability information of other base stations based on the measurement result.
[0133] Figure 9 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating yet another instruction receiving method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 9 As shown, the method further includes: In step S901, a measurement report on the signal quality of the other base stations is reported to the base station.
[0134] In one embodiment, the terminal can also measure the signal quality of other base stations to generate a measurement report. The base station can determine the signal quality of other base stations based on the measurement report. The signal quality can be characterized by RSRP, RSRQ, etc.
[0135] Furthermore, among the base stations that meet the wireless charging needs of the terminal, the base station can further determine the base station with a signal quality greater than the target quality as the target base station. Accordingly, it can be ensured that after the terminal switches to the target base station, the target base station can wirelessly charge the terminal in a manner that meets the terminal's needs, and can also communicate with the terminal using reliable communication commands.
