This makes the UE's reporting process more reasonable and optimized, avoiding the problems of frequent reporting by the UE leading to increased power consumption of the UE and frequent unnecessary reconfiguration of the network device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and readable storage medium for transmitting auxiliary information. Background Technology

[0002] 5G New Radio (NR) introduces Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), which are 5G satellite communication networks. Because satellites are at a relatively high altitude above the Earth, NTN signals experience greater transmission delays.

[0003] In terrestrial networks (TN) systems, cell radii are small, and the transmission delay differences between user equipment (UE) and different cells are minimal, much smaller than the length of the synchronization signal block-measurement timing configuration (SMTC) or measurement gap. However, in non-terrestrial networks (NTN) systems, cell radii are larger, and the coverage areas of different satellites overlap significantly. For example, when satellite 1 provides service to a UE, the UE may also be within the coverage area of ​​satellite 2 / satellite 3. Therefore, UE mobility must be considered, as the UE needs to perform measurements on neighboring cells covered by satellite 2 / satellite 3, and the impact of transmission delay differences must be taken into account.

[0004] For example, Figure 1 As shown, satellite (SA1) is the serving cell satellite, and satellite (SA2) is the neighboring cell satellite. The transmission delay for the UE to receive the serving cell signal can be expressed as T1g + T1u, and the transmission delay for the UE to receive the neighboring cell signal is T2u + T2g. The transmission delay difference is T1g + T1u - (T2g + T2u). Considering the different distances between different satellites and the UE and the ground station, there will be a significant difference in the transmission delay between the UE receiving the serving cell signal and the receiving the neighboring cell signal; that is, T1g + T1u - (T2g + T2u) will not approach 0 and may be greater than the length of the SMTC or the measurement gap.

[0005] If the configuration of SMTC or measurement gaps does not consider transmission delay differences, the UE may miss the measurement window of the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) or the Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and therefore will be unable to perform measurements on the configured reference signals. Therefore, the network needs to obtain the corresponding transmission delay or transmission delay difference when configuring SMTC or measurement gaps. Since the network cannot obtain the UE's accurate location information, the UE needs to report auxiliary information to assist the network in configuring or reconfiguring SMTC and measurement gaps.

[0006] To prevent untimely reporting of auxiliary information from causing the network to be unable to reconfigure the appropriate SMTC / measurement gap and the UE to miss the SSB of neighboring cells, the UE can report auxiliary information more frequently. However, frequent reporting of auxiliary information by the UE increases the UE's power consumption and causes the network to perform unnecessary reconfigurations frequently. Therefore, how to make the UE report auxiliary information more reasonably is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0214] Step S203: Determine the auxiliary information for the target time;

[0215] Step S204: Report the auxiliary information for the target time.

[0216] In one possible implementation, the target time corresponds to a specific time. After receiving the first indication information, the user equipment reports auxiliary information for this specific time.

[0217] In one possible implementation, the target time corresponds to more than one defined time. After receiving the first indication information, the user equipment reports more than one piece of auxiliary information, each piece of auxiliary information corresponding to one of the defined times.

[0218] In one possible implementation, the target time is a specific time for the user equipment.

[0219] In one possible implementation, the target time is a time determined by the user equipment based on multiple parameters sent by the network device.

The network device sends a first indication message to the user equipment, which instructs the user equipment to report auxiliary information for the current time.

This allows the user equipment to report the auxiliary information at the target time according to the received first instruction message. The network device controls the reporting of the user equipment, ensuring that the network device only instructs the user equipment to report when it needs to use the auxiliary information. This makes the reporting process of the user equipment more reasonable and optimized, and avoids the problem of frequent reporting by the user equipment leading to increased power consumption of the user equipment and frequent unnecessary reconfiguration of the network device.
