Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and in particular to a method for measuring neighboring cell reference signals, a terminal device, and a network device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements, Layer 1 (L1) measurements primarily target the Reference Signal (RS) of the current serving cell. However, the RS of neighboring cells can only be measured as Layer 3 (L3) within the Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC). Furthermore, when the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) of the current serving cell used for L1 measurements overlaps with the SMTC, the SMTC resources can be divided for L1 and L3 measurements respectively. With the increasing frequency of communication bands and the rising speed of terminal movement, and considering the long time required for L3 measurements, to improve the real-time performance of beam management and cell handover in high-speed mobile scenarios, the practice of performing L1 measurements on the RS of neighboring cells can be introduced.

[0003] However, introducing L1 measurements for neighboring cell RSs presents several problems. For example, but not limited to, when the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement overlaps with the RS in the current serving cell performing L1 measurement in the time and / or frequency domain resources, the terminal cannot distinguish RSs from different cells. Such problems can lead to inaccurate measurements by the terminal, potentially resulting in biased measurement results, and the selection or reporting of beam quality or cell quality that is not actually optimal. This affects cell handover and scheduling transmissions, hindering mobility management. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The method for measuring neighboring cell reference signals provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a method 200 for measuring neighboring cell reference signals. This method can be executed by a terminal device; in other words, it can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal device. The method includes the following steps:

[0042] S202: The terminal determines the target configuration information, which is the network device configuration. Based on the target configuration information of the network device configuration, the terminal performs L1 measurement on the neighboring cell reference signal RS.

[0043] This embodiment designs an L1 measurement method for neighboring cell RS based on measurement configuration information from the perspective of signaling configuration. Optionally, the method described in this embodiment can also be applied to low-frequency band FR1 and high-frequency band FR2. The target configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0044] Configuration information of the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurements;

[0045] Relevant configuration information of neighboring communities;

[0046] Configuration information for the Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC); optionally, the SMTC configuration information includes at least one of period, time slot offset, and duration.

[0047] Beam report configuration information;

[0048] Measurement resource allocation information.

[0049] Directly introducing L1 measurements to neighboring cell RSs in related technologies presents several problems. For example, but not limited to, when the neighboring cell RS performing L1 measurements overlaps with the RS performing L1 measurements in the current serving cell in the time and / or frequency domain resources, the terminal cannot distinguish RSs from different cells. Similarly, when the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurements overlaps with the SMTC (Side Module Control), the terminal cannot distinguish between the neighboring cell RS performing L3 measurements and those performing L1 measurements. Such problems can lead to inaccurate measurements by the terminal, potentially resulting in biased measurement results.

[0050] This invention provides a method for measuring neighboring cell reference signals. The method involves a terminal determining target configuration information, which is configured by a network device. Based on this target configuration information, L1 measurement is performed on the neighboring cell reference signal (RS). The target configuration information includes at least one of the following: configuration information of the current serving cell's RS used for L1 measurement; relevant configuration information of neighboring cells; configuration information of the Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC); beam reporting configuration information; and measurement resource configuration information. This method allows for different terminal measurement behaviors defined from the UE's perspective, considering different time-frequency resource configurations of the SMTC, neighboring cell RS, and the current serving cell's RS. This enables accurate measurement, ensuring unbiased measurement results and selecting or reporting the optimal beam quality or cell quality. This guarantees the accuracy of cell handover and the reliability of scheduling transmission, which is beneficial for mobility management.

[0051] like Figure 3As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a method 300 for measuring neighboring cell reference signals. This method can be executed by a terminal device; in other words, it can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal device. The method includes the following steps:

[0052] S302: The terminal determines the target configuration information, which is configured by the network device. If the target configuration information includes the measurement resource configuration information, the terminal performs L1 measurement on the neighboring cell RS according to the measurement resource configuration information.

[0053] The measurement resource configuration information indicates at least one of the following:

[0054] Time-domain resources used for L3 measurements;

[0055] Temporal resources used for L1 measurements of the current serving cell;

[0056] Temporal resources used for L1 measurements of the neighboring cells.

[0057] The target configuration information may also include at least one of the following:

[0058] Configuration information of the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurements;

[0059] Relevant configuration information of neighboring communities;

[0060] Configuration information for the Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC);

[0061] Beam report configuration information.

[0062] In one implementation, the measurement resource configuration information indicates measurement resources in units of SSBburst or SMTC via bit mapping.

[0063] Taking Example 1 as an example, after determining at least one of the time-domain resources for L3 measurement, the time-domain resources for L1 measurement of the current serving cell, and the time-domain resources for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell based on the measurement configuration information, the terminal performs L1 measurement on the time-domain resources for L1 measurement corresponding to the RS of the neighboring cell. The specific time-domain resources for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell can be indicated by bit mapping to specify the measurement method corresponding to SSB burst or SMTC. The measurement methods include the following.

[0064] Method 1: Bit mapping indicates measurement resources in units of SSB bursts.

[0065] Assuming the number of cells configured for measurement (including the currently serving cell) is K, each cell is configured with only one SSB burst, the least common multiple L of the periods of the K SSB bursts is used as the reference time, the number of SSB burst events within the reference time length is O, and only one measurement method can be used for the SSB in an SSB burst occasion, then the measurement configuration information needs to be of length [length missing]. A sequence of bits is used for indication. Within this bit sequence, for each SSB burst occasion, a specific bit sequence is required. Each bit indicates the cell and measurement format corresponding to the SSB burst occasion, wherein the first bit... The last bit is used to indicate the cell corresponding to the SSB burst occasion, and the last bit is used to indicate whether the SSB burst occasion is for L1 measurement or L3 measurement.

[0066] Method 2: Bit mapping indicates measurement resources in SMTC units.

[0067] Assuming the number of cells configured for measurement (including the currently serving cell) is K, and one SMTC can only be used to measure the SSB of one cell, with O consecutive SMTCs as the reference time, then the measurement configuration information needs to be of length K. A sequence of bits is used for indication. Within this bit sequence, for each SMTC, it is necessary to use... Each bit indicates the cell to which the RS measured by the SMTC belongs and the measurement method, wherein the first bit... The last bit is used to indicate the cell to which the RS measured by the SMTC belongs, and the last bit is used to indicate whether the measurement is L1 or L3 in the SMTC.

[0068] In the second implementation, the L1 measurement configuration information indicates measurement resources in units of SSB bursts or SMTCs, or in units of RS, through resource allocation indication. In this second implementation, the terminal does not expect partial or complete overlap between the time-domain resources used for L3 measurements, the time-domain resources used for L1 measurements of the neighboring cell, and the time-domain resources used for L1 measurements of the current serving cell.

[0069] This invention provides a method for measuring neighboring cell reference signals (RS). The method performs L1 measurements on neighboring cell reference signals (RS) based on target configuration information configured in network devices. The target configuration information includes at least one of the following: configuration information of the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement; relevant configuration information of neighboring cells; configuration information of the Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC); beam reporting configuration information; and measurement resource configuration information. This method enables accurate measurement, ensuring unbiased measurement results and selecting or reporting the optimal beam quality or cell quality. It guarantees the accuracy of cell handover and the reliability of scheduling transmission, thus facilitating mobility management.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a method 400 for measuring neighboring cell reference signals. This method can be executed by a terminal device; in other words, it can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal device. The method includes the following steps:

[0071] S402: The terminal determines target configuration information, which is configured by the network device; if the target configuration information includes relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell, the terminal performs L1 measurement on the neighboring cell RS according to the measurement frequency band corresponding to the L1 measurement. Optionally, the corresponding measurement frequency band can be the high-frequency band FR2, because resource overlap as described in the first condition may occur in the high-frequency band. Optionally, the method described in this embodiment can also be applied to the low-frequency band FR1.

[0072] In one implementation, this step may specifically include: if the relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell meets a first condition, determining a first resource for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS; and performing L1 measurement on the neighboring cell RS on the first resource for L1 measurement.

[0073] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0074] i. The neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement overlaps with the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement in the time domain;

[0075] ii. The neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement and the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement do not overlap in time domain resources;

[0076] iii. The neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement partially overlaps with the SMTC in the time domain, that is, the period of the neighboring cell RS is less than the period of the SMTC;

[0077] iv. The neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement completely overlaps with the SMTC in the time domain, that is, the period of the neighboring cell RS is equal to the period of the SMTC;

[0078] v. The current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement partially overlaps with the SMTC in the time domain resources, that is, the period of the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement is less than the period of the SMTC.

[0079] vi. The current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement and the SMTC completely overlap in time domain resources; that is, the period of the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement is equal to the period of the SMTC.

[0080] vii. The time-domain resources of the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement overlap with the scheduling-restricted resources of the current serving cell;

[0081] viii. The time-domain resources of the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement do not overlap with the scheduling-restricted resources of the current serving cell;

[0082] ix. The time-domain resources of the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurements overlap with the scheduling-constrained resources of the current serving cell;

[0083] x. The time-domain resources of the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement do not overlap with the scheduling-constrained resources of the current serving cell.

[0084] Among them, the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement and the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement, in addition to SSB, can also be Channel State Information (CSI)-RS used for mobility management, CSI-RS used for beam management, Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), or Tracking Reference Signal (TRS).

[0085] Optionally, the scheduling-restricted resources of the current serving cell include at least one of the following:

[0086] Reference signal of the current serving cell used for L3 measurements;

[0087] The first X symbols of the reference signal of the current serving cell used for L3 measurement;

[0088] The first Y symbols of the reference signal of the current serving cell used for L3 measurement;

[0089] Reference signals from neighboring cells used for L3 measurements;

[0090] The first X symbols of the reference signal of the neighboring cell used for L3 measurement;

[0091] The first Y symbols of the reference signal of the neighboring cell used for L3 measurement.

[0092] In one implementation, in this step, the first resource for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS can be determined according to a first preset rule.

[0093] The first preset rule includes at least one of the following:

[0094] Rule 1: Determine and indicate the SMTC resources used for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS according to a first preset value. Specifically, for example, if there are N resources in the resource set, and the first preset value is n, it can first indicate that the number of SMTC resources used for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS is n, or the first preset value is a percentage x, which can first indicate that the number of SMTC resources used for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS is x*N. Secondly, the specific location of the resources can be determined according to a predetermined rule. Optionally, the resources can be sorted according to a predetermined order, and the SMTC resources for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS can be selected from the sorted resources according to a predetermined rule. For example, the first n / x*N resources out of N resources can be selected, or the sorting can be based on a target value, such as sorting the resources as 1, 3, 5... and so on. The preset value can reuse P from existing standards, or a new preset value can be defined. The first preset value can be configured by the network, indicated by the network, or preset in the terminal device, such as in the factory settings of the terminal device.

[0095] like Figure 5 As shown, for example, the number of neighboring cells is 1. SSB#1 represents the RS of the current serving cell that is performing L1 measurement, SSB#2 represents the RS of the current serving cell that is performing L3 measurement, SSB#3 represents the RS of the neighboring cell that is performing L1 measurement, and SSB#4 represents the RS of the neighboring cell that is performing L3 measurement.

[0096] In one implementation, the configuration information simultaneously satisfies ii, iv, vi, viiii, and x in the first condition. The preset rule is: since the actual measured RS resources do not overlap, the terminal can measure normally and obtain the results.

[0097] In another implementation, the configuration information simultaneously satisfies ii, iv, vi, vii, x in the first condition, or simultaneously satisfies ii, iv, vi, viiii, ix, or simultaneously satisfies ii, iv, vi, vii, ix. In this case, the overlap between the RS performing L1 measurements and the RS performing L3 measurements in SMTC needs to be considered. SMTC resources for L1 and L3 measurements are divided according to a first preset value. This preset value can reuse the P value from the existing standard or a new preset value can be defined. The first preset value can be configured by the network, indicated by the network, or preset in the terminal device, such as in the terminal device's factory settings. Optionally, the SMTC resources for L1 measurements and the SMTC resources for L3 measurements can be determined and indicated through bit mapping or formula derivation. For example:

[0098] (1) Bit mapping method

[0099] When the first preset value P = 3, assuming 9 consecutive SMTCs, the bit mapping sequence is 100100100. In the bit sequence, the field with "1" indicates that the SMTC at the corresponding position is used for L1 measurement, and the field with "0" indicates that the SMTC at the corresponding position is used for L3 measurement.

[0100] (2) Formula Derivation

[0101] When the first preset value P = 3, the formula is x = (i-1) * P, where x is the serial number of the SMTC used for L1 measurement.

[0102] Rule 2: Determine and indicate the SMTC resources used for L1 measurements of the neighboring cell RS according to a second preset value, where the second preset value is:

[0103]

[0104] in T is the maximum value of the period of all RSs currently performing L1 measurements by the terminal. SMTCperiod The period is the SMTC period. The specific determination and indication method is similar to that described in Rule 1, and will not be repeated here. The SSB Burst resources used for L1 measurements include the SSB burst resources in the L1 measurement SMTC resources determined according to the second preset value, as well as the SSB burst resources outside the SMTC. Since the time-domain resources of the RS used for L1 measurements of the current serving cell do not overlap with the time-frequency resources of the RS used for L1 measurements of the current neighboring cell, the terminal can distinguish between the two for measurement.

[0105] When at least one of the following conditions is met, it is necessary to consider the case where the RS of L1 measurement and the SMTC partially overlap. Therefore, the terminal will allocate SMTC resources for L1 measurement and L3 measurement according to the second preset value mentioned above.

[0106] The following situations include:

[0107] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, vi, viii, and x in the first condition simultaneously;

[0108] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies the first condition i, iv, v, viiii, and x simultaneously;

[0109] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, v, viiii, and x in the first condition simultaneously;

[0110] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, vi, vii, and x in the first condition simultaneously;

[0111] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iv, v, vii, and x in the first condition simultaneously;

[0112] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, v, vii, and x in the first condition simultaneously;

[0113] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, vi, vii, and ix of the first condition simultaneously;

[0114] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iv, v, vii, and ix of the first condition simultaneously;

[0115] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, v, vii, and ix of the first condition simultaneously;

[0116] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, vi, viii, and ix of the first condition simultaneously;

[0117] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies the first condition i, iv, v, viiii, and ix simultaneously;

[0118] The relevant configuration information of the neighboring cell satisfies i, iii, v, viii, and ix of the first condition simultaneously.

[0119] In another implementation, in this step, the first resource for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS can be determined and instructed according to a second preset rule.

[0120] The second preset rule includes at least one of the following:

[0121] The bit mapping indicates the SSB burst resources of the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurements.

[0122] In cases where the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement overlaps with the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement, the SSB burst resources of the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement are indicated by bit mapping.

[0123] When a neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement overlaps with the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement, the SSB burst resources of the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement are determined according to a preset priority. In one implementation, the preset priority is determined based on the SSB burst period or PCI value. Optionally, a larger SSB burst period corresponds to a higher priority.

[0124] The overlap between the neighboring cell RS used for L1 measurement and the current serving cell RS used for L1 measurement can include partial overlap or complete overlap. Similarly, throughout this text, unless otherwise explained, "overlap" refers to both partial and complete overlap, and this will be consistently stated without further elaboration.

[0125] Optionally, if the configuration information simultaneously satisfies i, iv, vi, viiii, and x in the first condition, or if the configuration information only satisfies i, it is necessary to consider the problem of SSB overlap in L1 measurements of different cells. Resources for L1 measurements of the current serving cell and SSB burst resources for L1 measurements of neighboring cells can be divided according to the second preset rule value.

[0126] In one implementation, the SSB burst resources used for L1 measurements of the current serving cell and L1 measurements of neighboring cells can be determined in the following ways:

[0127] Method 1: Perform bit mapping in units of SSB bursts;

[0128] a) One bit mapping method indicates only the SSB burst to be measured at the time of a collision. The SSB period of the current serving cell is 20ms, and the SSB period of neighboring cells is 30ms. Therefore, a collision occurs every 60ms. Thus, the bit sequence is set to indicate the SSB burst used for L1 measurement after a collision, in 60ms increments. For example, the bit sequence is 110011011, where "1" indicates measuring the SSB burst of the current serving cell at the time of a collision, and "0" indicates measuring the SSB burst of the neighboring cell at the time of a collision.

[0129] b) Another bit mapping method is to indicate the measurement order of all SSB bursts, as described in Example 1 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0130] Method 2: SSB bursts measured after a collision are determined according to a preset priority, including:

[0131] a) Based on the PCI value corresponding to the SSB burst that caused the collision, the SSB bursts corresponding to the PCI values ​​are sequentially selected as the SSB bursts to be measured after the collision, either in descending or ascending order.

[0132] b) Based on the period of the SSB burst that caused the collision, the SSB bursts corresponding to the periods in descending order of period are taken as the SSB bursts to be measured after the collision.

[0133] c) Based on the starting symbol of each SSB burst that caused the collision, the SSB bursts corresponding to the starting symbols are sequentially selected from earliest to latest as the SSB bursts to be measured after the collision.

[0134] In another implementation, in this step, the first resource for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS can be determined according to the third preset rule.

[0135] The third preset rule includes:

[0136] The SMTC resources used for L1 and L3 measurements are determined according to the third preset value. The specific determination and indication methods are similar to those described in Rule 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0137] The SSB burst resources outside of the SMTC are integrated with the SSB burst resources included in the SMTC used for L1 measurement into a third SSB burst resource.

[0138] According to the fourth preset rule, SSB burst resources for L1 measurement of the current serving cell and L1 measurement of neighboring cells are determined from the third SSB burst resources respectively.

[0139] In one implementation, the configuration information simultaneously satisfies i, iv, vi, vii, x in condition 1, or simultaneously satisfies i, iv, vi, viiii, ix, or simultaneously satisfies i, iv, vi, vii, ix. In this case, two issues need to be considered:

[0140] 1. RS overlap in L1 measurements performed in different cells;

[0141] 2. The RS performing L1 measurement overlaps with the RS performing L3 measurement. In this case, the first resource for L1 measurement of the neighboring cell RS can be determined according to the third preset rule. The third preset value can be the first preset value, and optionally, the fourth preset rule can be the same as the second preset rule.
