Technical Field

[0003] The following relates to wireless communications, including techniques for reporting multiple quantity types. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, message transceiving, broadcasting, etc. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, advanced LTE (LTE-A) systems or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems that may be referred to as new radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ techniques such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) or discrete Fourier transform spread spectrum orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each base station or network access node simultaneously supporting communication of multiple communication devices, which may be referred to as user equipment (UE) in addition.

[0005] In some wireless communication systems, a base station and a UE may communicate using one or more directional beams and may attempt to maintain a reliable communication link between the base station and the UE by performing a beam management procedure. In such a procedure, the base station may configure the UE to measure one or more beams or beam-related resources and report the one or more measurements to the base station. Conventional techniques for reporting the one or more measurements may have drawbacks. Summary of the invention

In general, the described technology provides an enhanced beam management procedure. In order to maintain a reliable communication link between a base station and a user equipment (UE), the UE may receive a configuration message from the base station indicating a first report quantity type (e.g., reference signal received power (RSRP), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)) and a second report quantity type (e.g., RSRP, SINR) for generating a measurement report. The first report quantity type and the second report quantity type may be different. The UE may determine a measurement payload size for generating a measurement payload for the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type. The UE may measure a first resource set according to the first report quantity type and measure a second resource set according to the second report quantity type. The first resource set and the second resource set may be the same or different. In some cases, the UE may generate a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size based on measuring the first resource set, and the UE may generate a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size based on measuring the second resource set. The UE may send a measurement report including a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size of a first reporting quantity type and a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size of a second reporting quantity type to the base station.

[0059] In some wireless communication systems, a base station and a user equipment (UE) may attempt to maintain reliable communication on a communication link by communicating using a beam or channel that provides a sufficiently high signal strength for transmission between the base station and the UE. In some cases, the base station and the UE may perform multiple beam management procedures to facilitate the selection (or maintenance) of an appropriate beam or channel. In this case, the UE may receive one or more measurement-related signals (e.g., channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), synchronization signal block (SSB)) from the base station on one or more resources (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, beams). The UE may measure one or more signals based on the number of reports. For example, the UE may be configured to measure the received power of a signal (e.g., reference signal received power (RSRP)) or the quality of a signal (e.g., signal to noise plus interference ratio (SINR)). The UE may send a measurement report including a measurement of a signal to the base station. For example, the UE may send an RSRP measurement of a signal or an SINR of a signal in a single report, but not both. The base station may use the measurement report to select or reconfigure a beam or channel for communication with the UE. For example, each signal (e.g., CSI-RS or SSB) sent by a base station can correspond to a beam or channel, and the base station can select the beam or channel corresponding to the signal (e.g., CSI-RS or SSB) associated with the most preferred reporting quantity (e.g., the highest RSRP reported for measurement, the highest SINR reported for measurement)).

[0060] In some cases, the base station may configure the UE to measure multiple report quantities for one or more signals, such as an RSRP report quantity type and an SINR report quantity type. However, each report quantity may have a different payload size required to send each report quantity. Therefore, conventional techniques may not support sending different report quantities in the same report. In this case, the base station may configure the UE to send multiple reports, each of which may be associated with a different report quantity, which may increase delay and overhead in the beam management process.

[0061] To reduce delay and overhead, the UE may be configured to report multiple report quantity types in the same report. In some cases, the UE may be configured to align the payload sizes of different report quantity types to be included in a single report so that each individual measurement payload has the same size within the report. For example, the UE may be configured to report a first report quantity for a first resource set and a second report quantity for a second resource set, wherein the first resource set and the second resource set may be the same or partially the same or different. The UE may measure the first resource set according to the first report quantity and measure the second resource set according to the second report quantity. The UE may determine that the first report quantity results in a first payload size and that the second report quantity results in a second payload size. In this way, the UE may adjust (e.g., by adding bits, removing bits, or rounding off the measurement value) the first payload size or the second payload size or both so that the first payload size and the second payload size are the same. After adjusting the report quantity payload size, the UE may generate and send a measurement report including a first report quantity (e.g., an RSRP report quantity type) and a second report quantity (e.g., an SINR report quantity type), wherein the payload sizes associated with the first report quantity and the second report quantity are the same.

[0062] Certain aspects of the subject matter described herein can be implemented to achieve one or more advantages. The described techniques can support improvements to beam management procedures by reducing signaling overhead and reducing latency, among other advantages. Thus, the supported techniques can include improved network operation and, in some examples, increased network efficiency, among other benefits.

[0063] Aspects of the present disclosure are initially described in the context of a wireless communication system. Aspects are then described with respect to process flows. Aspects of the present disclosure will be further illustrated and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow diagrams relating to techniques for reporting multiple quantity types.

[0064] Figure 1An example of a wireless communication system 100 for reporting multiple quantity types supported according to aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a long term evolution (LTE) network, an advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a new radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communications, low-latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or a combination of the foregoing communications.

[0065] Base stations 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form wireless communication system 100, and may be devices of different forms or capabilities. Base stations 105 and UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which UEs 115 and base stations 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. Coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which base stations 105 and UEs 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0066] UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be fixed or mobile or both at different times. UEs 115 may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 may be Figure 1 UE 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UE 115, base station 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network node, relay device, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node or other network equipment), such as Figure 1 shown.

[0067] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130 or with each other, or both. For example, the base stations 105 may interface with the core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interfaces). The base stations 105 may communicate with each other, or both, directly (e.g., directly between the base stations 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130) via the backhaul links 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interfaces). In some examples, the backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links.

[0068] One or more base stations 105 described herein may include or be referred to by a person of ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next generation NodeB or a Giga-NodeB (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology.

[0069] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, etc. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as an example of a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, which may be implemented in, for example, an appliance or a vehicle, a meter, and other examples.

[0070] The UE 115 described herein is capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, which may sometimes act as relays, as well as base stations 105 and network devices including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 shown.

[0071] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may communicate with each other wirelessly via one or more communication links 125 through one or more carriers. The term "carrier" may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) operating according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-APro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating the operation of the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may use carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation to support communication with the UE 115. The UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to the carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0072] The signal waveform transmitted on the carrier may be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may be composed of a symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulation symbol) and a subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Therefore, the more resource elements received by the UE 115 and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate of the UE 115 may be. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity used to communicate with the UE 115.

[0073] The time interval of the base station 105 or the UE 115 can be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit. For example, the basic time unit can refer to T s =1 / (Δf max ·N f ) seconds sampling period, where Δf max It can represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. The time intervals of the communication resources may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0074] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, the frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into multiple time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include multiple symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix preceding each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, the time slot may also be divided into multiple mini-time slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N f ) sampling period. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the frequency band of operation.

[0075] A subframe, slot, mini-slot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0076] Physical channels can be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. For example, a physical control channel and a physical data channel can be multiplexed on a downlink carrier using one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel can be defined by multiple symbol periods and can extend over a system bandwidth or a subset of a system bandwidth of a carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) can be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs 115 can monitor or search for a control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set can include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level of a control channel candidate can refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with a coded information of a control information format having a given payload size. A search space set can include a common search space set configured for sending control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for sending control information to a specific UE 115.

[0077] In some examples, base stations 105 may be mobile and thus provide communication coverage for mobile geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0078] The wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication or various combinations of the foregoing communications. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) or mission-critical communication. UE 115 can be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency or critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communication can include private communication or group communication and can be supported by one or more mission-critical services, such as critical mission push-to-talk (MCPTT), critical video (MCVideo) or mission-critical data (MCData). Support for mission-critical functions can include service priorities, and mission-critical services can be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, critical mission and ultra-reliable low-latency can be used interchangeably herein.

[0079] In some examples, the UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communication may be within a geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105, or otherwise unable to receive transmissions from the base station 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to each other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, the base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between UEs 115 without the participation of the base station 105.

[0080] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnections to an external network. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UEs 115 served by base stations 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be transmitted through user plane entities, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to IP services 150 of one or more network operators. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0081] Some of the network devices, such as the base station 105, may include subcomponents, such as an access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with the UE 115 through one or more other access network transport entities 145, which may be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, or a transmission / reception point (TRP). Each access network transport entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., a radio head and an ANC) or merged into a single network device (e.g., a base station 105).

[0082] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Typically, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from about 1 decimeter to 1 meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but these waves may be sufficient to penetrate the structures used for macro cells to provide services to UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission of smaller frequencies and longer waves using the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0083] The wireless communication system 100 can utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can use license assisted access (LAA), LTE-unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in an unlicensed radio spectrum band, devices such as base stations 105 and UEs 115 can use carrier sensing to detect and avoid conflicts. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands can be based on carrier aggregation configurations and component carriers operating in licensed bands (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum can include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, etc.

[0084] The base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ technologies such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be collocated at an antenna assembly such as an antenna tower. In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located at different geographical locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array having multiple rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming of signals sent via the antenna ports.

[0085] Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115) to steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming is achieved by combining signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array so that some signals propagating in a particular direction relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference and other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals communicated via antenna elements may include the transmitting device or the receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried via antenna elements associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each antenna element may be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting device or the receiving device, or relative to some other orientation).

[0086] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may use beam scanning techniques as part of a beamforming operation. For example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform beamforming operations for directional communications with the UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be sent multiple times by the base station 105 in different directions. For example, the base station 105 may send signals according to different sets of beamforming weights associated with different transmit directions. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device such as the base station 105, or by a receiving device such as the UE 115) beam directions for later transmission or reception by the base station 105.

[0087] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be sent by base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with a receiving device such as UE 115). In some examples, a beam direction associated with transmissions along a single beam direction may be determined based on signals sent in one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more signals sent by base station 105 in different directions and may report to base station 105 an indication of the signal that UE 115 received with the highest signal quality or other acceptable signal quality.

[0088] In some examples, transmissions by a device (e.g., by a base station 105 or a UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from a base station 105 to a UE 115) using a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming. The UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to the number of beam configurations across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. The base station 105 may send reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS)) that may be precoded or not precoded. The UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel codebook, a linear combination codebook, a port selection codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals sent by base station 105 in one or more directions, UE 115 may employ similar techniques for sending signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by UE 115) or for sending signals in a single direction (e.g., for sending data to a receiving device).

[0089] When receiving various signals such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals from the base station 105, a receiving device (e.g., UE 115) can try multiple reception configurations (e.g., directional listening). For example, the receiving device can try multiple reception directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing the received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different reception beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to the signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, or by processing the received signals according to different reception beamforming weight sets applied to the signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which can be referred to as "listening" according to different reception configurations or reception directions. In some examples, the receiving device can use a single reception configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single reception configuration can be aligned in a beam direction determined based on listening according to different reception configuration directions (e.g., determined to have the highest signal strength, the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or based on acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0090] In the beam management procedure, the UE 115 may receive a configuration message indicating a first report quantity type (e.g., RSRP, SINR) and a second report quantity type (e.g., RSRP, SINR) for generating a measurement report from the base station 105. The first report quantity type and the second report quantity type may be different. The UE 115 may determine a measurement payload size for generating a measurement payload for the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type. The UE 115 may measure a first resource set according to the first report quantity type and measure a second resource set according to the second report quantity type. The first resource set and the second resource set may be the same or different. In some cases, the UE 115 may generate a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size based on measuring the first resource set, and the UE may generate a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size based on measuring the second resource set. The UE 115 may send a measurement report including a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the first report quantity type and a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the second report quantity type to the base station 105.

[0091] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports techniques for reporting multiple quantity types according to aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 200 may include a base station 105-a and a UE 115-a, which may be as described in reference Figure 1An example of a base station 105 and a UE 115 is described. The base station 105-a may serve a geographic coverage area 110-a. In some cases, the base station 105-a may perform beam management procedures with the UE 115-a to configure and / or maintain reliable communications with the UE 115-a. For example, the base station 105-a may configure the UE 115-a to measure and report a plurality of reporting quantities in a measurement report.

[0092] In some cases, the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may support directional transmissions and may communicate via one or more directional beams. For example, the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may communicate via a downlink beam 205 or an uplink beam or both, and may perform directional transmissions using directional beams. In addition, the downlink beam 205 used by the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may be associated with a resource set 210 such as a time resource, a frequency resource, a channel, a medium, etc.

[0093] In some cases, the radio environment between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may change, which may affect the quality of the beam, channel, or both used by the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a. For example, the UE 115-a may move (e.g., change physical location) or there may be an object between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a, which may affect the signal strength, signal quality, or both of the transmission between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a. In addition, in some systems that support higher frequency communications, such as NR systems operating in the frequency range 2 (FR2) radio frequency spectrum band, changes in the radio environment between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may have a more significant impact on the quality of the beam or channel. In addition, in some systems that support higher frequency communications, changes in the radio environment between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may cause sudden changes (e.g., small time scale changes) in the quality of the beam or channel used by the base station 105 and the UE 115-a. In some cases, such changes in the radio environment between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may reduce the reliability of communication between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a, and likewise, may reduce the likelihood of successful communication between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a. In addition, environmental changes that affect wireless signals transmitted between the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a may cause random constructive / destructive interference, multipath propagation problems, fading, etc. As an example, frequency selective fading may be characterized by various nulls or significant reductions in channel amplitudes in the received signal across a set of resource elements. As a result, some resource elements and some frequencies may experience fading caused by external factors such as reflections, interference, etc.

[0094] In order to maintain reliable communication between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a, the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may perform one or more beam management procedures. As part of the beam management procedure, the base station 105-a may send a configuration message (e.g., a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message, an RRC reconfiguration message) indicating a set of resources (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, downlink beam 205) that the UE 115-a is to measure and a number of reports for the UE 115-a to measure the resource set. In some cases, the UE 115-a may be configured to measure beam management-related signals (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS) that may be sent by the base station 105-a on the resource set. The base station 105-a may send one or more beam management signals such as CSI-RS or SSB via one or more beams on the current channel between the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a (e.g., each signal may be sent by the base station 105-a using a different directional beam). Thus, UE 115 - a may measure a reported quantity of one or more signals associated with the channel, such as RSRP (eg, L1-RSRP) or SINR (eg, L1-SINR).

[0095] For example, the base station 105-a may send a configuration message to the UE 115-a, such as via RRC signaling, indicating the resource set measured by the UE 115-a and the number of reports based on which the resource set is measured. The base station 105-a may indicate the time and frequency resources that the UE 115-a should measure, such as resource sets 210-a, 210-b, and 210-c, where each resource set 210 may include any number of time and / or frequency resources. Each resource set 210 may be associated with a downlink beam 205 such that each downlink beam 205 is transmitted on a different resource set 210 to mitigate interference between adjacent downlink beams 205. For example, downlink beam 205-a may be associated with resource set 210-a, downlink beam 205-b may be associated with resource set 210-b, and downlink beam 205-c may be associated with resource set 210-c. Additionally or alternatively, the base station 105-a may indicate one or more downlink beams 205 that the UE 115-a may measure. The base station 105-a may also configure the UE 115-a to measure beam management-related signals (e.g., CSI-RS or SSB) sent on the downlink beam 205. The UE 115-a may measure the signals received on the downlink beam 205 according to the configured number of reports. For example, the UE 115-a may measure the RSRP or SINR of the received signal. The UE 115-a may be configured to measure the RSRP on the downlink beams 205-a, 205-b, and 205-c. In this way, UE 115-a can generate three measurements, one measurement associated with each downlink beam 205, and UE 115-a can report the measurements to base station 105-a, which base station 105-a can use to determine a preferred downlink beam 205 for communicating with UE 115-a and / or adjust configuration parameters between UE 115-a and base station 105-a.

[0096] In the case where UE 115-a is configured to measure the reporting number RSRP or SINR and UE 115-a is configured to measure multiple resources such as multiple beams, UE 115-a can be configured to send multiple different CSI-RS resource indicators (CRIs) or SSB resource indicators (SSBRIs) in a single report based on whether UE 115-a is configured to measure CSI-RS or SSB. In some cases, the configuration of the CRI or SSBRI report can be configured by higher layer signaling (e.g., nrofReportedRS). In some cases, such as when UE 115-a receives nrofReportedRS, UE 115-a can be configured to send up to 4 measurements and / or 4 CRIs or SSBRIs. In some cases, the configuration can be based on one or more enabled parameters. For example, when groupBasedBeamReporting is enabled, UE 115-a can be configured to send up to two different CRIs or SSBRIs for each reporting setting in a single reporting instance. In this case, UE 115-a may report the maximum measured value of the number of reports (e.g., L1-RSRP or L1-SINR) quantized as a bit (e.g., 7 bits) and report each of the remaining reports as a b-bit (e.g., 4-bit) differential value relative to the largest report. Thus, the total payload size associated with the report is represented as T=a+b×(N-1)+N×N k , where the number of beams to be measured is greater than 1 (e.g., N>1), where N k Equal to the length of the CRI or SSBRI (for example, Where K S is the quantity of measurement resources).

[0097] In some cases, base station 105-a may configure UE 115-a to measure a first set of resources (e.g., N) based on a first reporting quantity (e.g., RSRP). 1 ) and measuring the second resource set (eg, N) according to the second reported quantity (eg, SINR) 2), where the first resource set and the second resource set may be the same, partially the same, or different. For example, where the first resource set and the second resource set are different, the UE 115-a may be configured to measure the RSRP of the downlink beam 205-a via the resource set 210-a and to measure the SINR of the downlink beams 205-b and 205-c via the resource sets 210-b and 210-c, respectively. For example, where the first resource set 210 and the second resource set 210 are the same, the UE 115-a may be configured to measure the RSRP of the downlink beams 205-a and 205-c and to measure the SINR of the downlink beams 205-a and 205-c. Where the first resource set and the second resource set are partially the same, the UE 115-a may be configured to measure the RSRP of the downlink beam 205-a and to measure the SINR of the downlink beams 205-a, 205-b, and 205-c. In some cases, the number of bits (e.g., a-bits and / or b-bits) associated with each report quantity may be different. Thus, base station 105-a may need to send additional signaling to request multiple beam reports from UE 115-a, where each requested report may correspond to a different report quantity. Thus, base station 105-a may configure and send multiple reporting configurations even though all reporting configurations may request measurements of the same measurement resources (e.g., downlink beam 205, resource set 210).

[0098] In some cases, to reduce signaling overhead, base station 105-a may configure a single measurement configuration that enables UE 115-a to report multiple numbers of reports of interest. In such cases, when hybrid reporting numbers are enabled, UE 115-a and / or base station 105-a may determine the reporting number based on the beam (e.g., CRI) selected for sending the report. In some implementations, such as a message in an RRC (re)configuration message, a single report setting may include multiple measurement resource settings and reporting numbers. For example, a single measurement configuration message may include multiple reporting numbers for UE 115-a to measure and / or multiple parameters associated with performing the measurement, such as the resources to be measured, the reporting configuration type (e.g., periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic), the reporting configuration identifier, the carrier, etc. In some cases, the association between the resource setting and the reporting number may be implicitly mapped or explicitly signaled. For example, in the explicit case, the configuration message may directly indicate which resource settings (e.g., measurement resources) are associated with which reporting numbers. For example, in the implicit case, the configuration may specify the reporting setting and / or the reporting number, where the specification indicates a mapping that allows UE 115-a to determine the association between the reporting setting and the reporting number. In some cases, UE 115-a and / or base station 105-a may dynamically determine the reporting number for a resource or a resource set based on the operating conditions of UE 115-a and / or base station 105-a.

[0099] In the case of hybrid reporting numbers, to reduce latency and signaling overhead, a single report may be configured to send multiple types of reporting numbers. For example, in the case of two different types of reporting numbers, for example, a single report may include a measurement set of a resource set according to the first reporting number type and a measurement set of a resource set according to the second reporting number type. However, since each reporting number may be associated with a different payload size for sending the reporting number, the total payload size of a single measurement report may not align with the existing format. Thus, to enable a single report to send multiple reporting numbers, the payload (e.g., physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) payload, or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) payload in the case of aperiodic reporting) may be aligned. For example, UE 115-a and / or base station 105-a may adjust the payload of the measurement associated with one or more reporting numbers included in the measurement report such that the payload of each reporting number is the same. In some cases, the techniques described in this disclosure may provide hybrid reporting numbers (e.g., multi-beam measurement and reporting enhancement) for L1 / L2 centered inter-cell mobility and inter-cell multi-TRP (mTRP) scenarios. Specifically, this technique may provide L1 / L2 mobility scenarios and mTRP CSI reports, where different resource sets may be associated with different TRPs.

[0100] In an example, aspects of the present disclosure may provide techniques for communicating the quality of up to K beams associated with at least a non-serving cell, where the quality may be reported in a single CSI reporting example. In some examples, the UE may report at least a measured reference signal indicator, a beam metric associated with the measured reference signal indicator, or both for each beam (e.g., each of the K beams) to support L1 / L2 mobility scenarios and mTRPCSI reporting for different TRPs. Additionally or alternatively, if K is fixed (e.g., configured, reported by UE capabilities, dynamically selected, or a combination of the foregoing), the UE may determine a maximum value for K. In some cases, the techniques described in the present disclosure may also provide for determining the type of beam metric (e.g., L1-RSRP, L3-RSRP, or mixed L1 / L3-RSRP) and related measurement behavior. For example, in one reporting instance, UE 115-a may determine whether a beam report associated with a non-serving cell may be mixed with a beam report associated with a serving cell. For example, in one instance of reporting, beams associated with non-serving cells may be mixed with beams associated with serving cells, depending on the network configuration. Based on whether the beam reports may be mixed with non-serving cells, the UE 115-a and / or the base station 105-a may adjust the payload of the measurements associated with one or more multi-beam measurements and include the measurements in the measurement report such that the payload of each reported quantity is the same.

[0101] Figure 3 An example of a wireless communication system 300 that supports techniques for reporting multiple quantity types according to aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 300 may include a base station 105-b and a UE 115-b, which may be as described in reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An example of a base station 105 and a UE 115 is described. The base station 105-b can serve a geographic coverage area 110-b. In some cases, the base station 105-b can perform beam management procedures with the UE 115-b to configure and / or maintain reliable communications with the UE 115-b. For example, the base station 105-b can configure the UE 115-b to measure and report multiple report quantities in a measurement report.

[0102] In the wireless communication system 300, a base station 105-b may communicate with a UE 115-b. In some cases, the base station 105-b and the UE 115-b may communicate via one or more transmission beams that allow the base station 105-b and the UE 115-b to communicate over a communication link 305. For example, the base station 105-b may send signals to the UE 115-b via a communication link 305a (e.g., a downlink communication link) and the UE 115-b may send signals to the base station 105-b via a communication link 305b (e.g., an uplink communication link). In some cases, UE 115-b and base station 105-b may perform beam management to maintain reliability associated with communication link 305, wherein the beam management procedure may include UE 115-b receiving one or more measurement configurations 310 from base station 105-b via communication link 305a and including UE 115-b sending one or more measurement reports 315 to base station 105-b via communication link 305b.

[0103] As reference Figure 2 As described, a UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-b) may generate and send a single beam management-related measurement report to a base station (e.g., base station 105-b), the single beam management-related measurement report including multiple report quantity types. In order to configure the report to include multiple report quantity types, the UE 115-b may adjust the payload associated with one or more report quantity types so that each payload associated with the report quantity is the same. For example, the UE 115-b may receive a measurement configuration 310 from the base station 105-b, the measurement configuration 310 indicating that the UE 115-b may use a first report quantity (e.g., RSRP, L1-RSRP) to measure a first resource set (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, or a transmission beam or a combination of the foregoing) and use a second report quantity (e.g., SINR, L1-SINR) to measure a second resource set (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, or a transmission beam or a combination of the foregoing), wherein the first resource set and the second resource set may be different, the same, or partially the same. In some cases, the measurement configuration 310 is included in an RRC message, such as an RRC configuration or RRC reconfiguration message. For example, where the first resource set and the second resource set are the same, the UE 115-b may be configured to measure the SINR and RSRP of the same transmission beam set (e.g., downlink transmission beam) by measuring the signals (e.g., CSI-RS, SSB) sent through the transmission beam set.

[0104] UE 115-a may be configured to perform beam management related measurements and reporting aperiodically, semi-persistently, or periodically. In either configuration, UE 115-a may receive a measurement configuration 310 via RRC signaling, wherein the measurement configuration 310 may indicate a reporting type (e.g., aperiodic, semi-persistent, or periodic). In the case of periodic reporting, the measurement configuration 310 may indicate the periodicity with which UE 115-b may report measurement reports 315. In the case of aperiodic or semi-persistent reporting, UE 115-b may additionally receive an activation or trigger message that triggers UE 115-b to perform aperiodic or semi-persistent reporting. For example, UE 115-b may receive a MAC-CE activation message for triggering aperiodic or semi-persistent reporting, a downlink control information (DCI) trigger message for triggering semi-persistent reporting, or an aperiodic CSI-RS for triggering aperiodic reporting, or a combination of the foregoing, from base station 105-b.

[0105] In response to receiving the measurement configuration 310 or a non-periodic or semi-persistent trigger or both, the UE 115-a may determine which reporting quantity to use to measure which resources based on implicit or explicit indications in the measurement configuration 310. The UE 115-b may measure one or more signals received on a set of resources. For example, the UE 115-a may measure one or more signals received on a first set of resources according to a first reporting quantity and one or more signals received on a second set of resources according to a second reporting quantity. Based on the measurements, the UE 115-b may generate a payload associated with the measurements. To generate the payloads, the UE 115-b may identify a measurement payload size with which each payload is to be aligned, and the UE 115-b may adjust one or more of the payloads to match the measurement payload size.

[0106] In some cases, the base station 105-b may send control signaling to configure the UE 115-b (e.g., in a memory, or receive signaling that configures the UE 115-b, such as periodic, non-periodic, or semi-persistent signaling) to determine the measurement payload size by determining which report quantity is associated with the maximum payload size, where the measurement payload size may be equal to the size of the maximum payload. The UE 115-b may independently and / or dynamically determine which report quantity is associated with the maximum payload, or the UE 115-b may receive an indication or be pre-configured with information regarding which report quantity is associated with the maximum payload. For example, the UE 115-b may be pre-configured with a list of report quantities or report quantity payloads, or both, the list indicating a ranking of the payloads by size. Based on the list, the UE 115-b may identify which report quantities to be included in the measurement report 315 are associated with the maximum payload. For example, UE 115-b may determine that a first reporting quantity (e.g., RSRP) is associated with a maximum payload size (such as 10 bits) for sending the first reporting quantity, as compared to a payload (such as 7 bits) associated with sending the second reporting quantity. Based on identifying which reporting quantity is associated with the maximum payload size, UE 115-b may determine the number of bits included in the maximum payload, such as 10 bits in this example. UE 115-b may determine that the measurement payload size may be equal to 10 bits. UE 115-b may adjust the payload associated with any other reporting quantity, such as the second reporting quantity, to be included in the measurement report 315 to be equal to 10 bits. For example, UE 115-b may adjust the payload associated with the second reporting quantity by adding bits, such as 0 bits (e.g., zero padding), to any measurement associated with the second reporting quantity. As the payloads of the measurements associated with the first reporting quantity are each already equal to 10 bits, UE 115-b may not adjust them because the payload size associated with the first reporting quantity is used as the measurement payload size. As such, any measurements made by UE 115 - b associated with the first reported quantity or the second reported quantity to be included in measurement report 315 have the same payload size, ie, 10 bits.

[0107] In some cases, the base station 105-b may send control signaling to configure the UE 115-b with a reference format of a number of bits to be used as a measurement of the payload size. In some cases, the UE 115-b may be pre-configured with a reference format (e.g., in a memory) where the number of bits in the reference format may be fixed or the UE 115-b may receive the reference format from the base station 105-b via dynamic, semi-persistent, or non-periodic signaling where the number of bits in the reference format may change. In some cases, the base station 105-b may send a new reference format each time the number of bits in the reference format changes.

[0108] Based on a reference format such as a per-report reference format, the UE 115-b may adjust one or more payloads to be included in the measurement report 315 to be equal to the payload size of the reference format. For example, a first report quantity may produce a measurement payload equal to 10 bits, and a second report quantity may produce a measurement payload equal to 7 bits. In one example, the reference format may include 8 bits. In this way, the UE 115-b may adjust each payload associated with the first report quantity by subtracting (e.g., truncating) 2 bits (e.g., the last 2 bits) from each payload. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-b may round each measurement associated with the first report quantity to a less precise value so that each measurement requires a smaller number of bits, such as 8 bits instead of 10 bits. The UE 115-b may also adjust each payload associated with the second report quantity by adding 1 bit such as 0 bits (e.g., zero padding) to each payload so that each payload associated with the second report quantity includes 8 bits. In this way, each per-report payload included in the measurement report 315 may be equal to 8 bits.

[0109] In some cases, the reference format may be a total payload reference format such that the reference format indicates a total payload size for the measurement report 315. In such a case, the UE 115-b may identify the total payload size and determine a per-report payload size for each individual measurement payload, where each individual measurement payload size is the same. For example, the UE 115-b may partition the number of bits in the total payload reference format based on the number of reports to be included in the measurement report 315 or based on the number of measurements (e.g., the number of resources to be measured by the UE 115-b for each number of reports), or based on both.

[0110] Based on aligning the payload size of each measurement to be included in the measurement report 315, the UE 115-b may generate the measurement report 315. The UE 115-b may configure the measurement report 315 to include a first reporting number payload 320-a and a second reporting number payload 320-b. The first reporting number payload 320-a may include each measurement made according to a first reporting number on a first set of resources, and the second reporting number payload 320-b may include each measurement made according to a second reporting number on a second set of resources, wherein the payload associated with each measurement in the first reporting number payload 320-b and the second reporting number payload 320-b is the same.

[0111] In some cases, the techniques described in the present disclosure can provide mixed reporting quantities (e.g., multi-beam measurements and reporting enhancements) for L1 / L2 center inter-cell mobility and inter-cell multi-TRP (mTRP) scenarios. For example, in one reporting instance, UE 115-a can determine whether beam reports associated with non-serving cells (e.g., first reporting quantity payload 320-a) can be mixed with beam reports associated with serving cells (e.g., second reporting quantity payload 320-b). For example, in one reporting instance, depending on the network configuration, beams associated with non-serving cells can be mixed with beams associated with serving cells. Based on whether beam reports can be mixed with non-serving cells, UE115-a and / or base station 105-a can adjust the payload of measurements associated with one or more multi-beam measurements and include the measurements in the measurement report so that the payload of each reporting quantity is the same.

[0112] Figure 4 An example of a process flow 400 supporting techniques for reporting multiple quantity types according to aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The process flow 400 may illustrate an example beam management procedure. For example, a base station 105-c may perform a beam management procedure with a UE 115-c to configure and / or maintain reliable communications with the UE 115-c. The base station 105-c may configure the UE 115-c to measure and report multiple report quantities in a measurement report. The base station 105-c and the UE 115-c may be reference Figure 1-Figure 3 Examples of corresponding wireless devices described. The following optional examples can be implemented in which some steps are performed in a different order than described or not performed at all. In some cases, the steps may include additional features not mentioned below or additional steps may be added.

[0113] At 405, UE 115-c may receive a measurement configuration message (e.g., an RRC reconfiguration message, an RRC configuration message) from base station 105-c, wherein the measurement configuration may indicate one or more parameters associated with UE 115-c performing a beam management procedure. For example, UE 115-c may receive a configuration message from base station 105-b indicating a first report quantity type and a second report quantity type for generating a measurement report. In some cases, some report settings included in the measurement configuration message may indicate that UE 115-c reports multiple reports per single reporting instance, such as reports where each report is associated with a different report quantity. The first report quantity type and the second report quantity type are one of an L1-RSRP measurement or an L1-SINR measurement, wherein the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type may be different.

[0114] In some implementations, the UE 115-c may receive a configuration message indicating use of a larger of a first payload size associated with a first reporting quantity type and a second payload size associated with a second reporting quantity type as a measurement payload size. In some implementations, the UE 115-c may receive a configuration message indicating a measurement payload size, wherein the measurement payload size may be determined by the UE 115-c based on the configuration message. In some implementations, the UE 115-c may receive a configuration message including an indication of a first subset of measurement resources in a measurement resource set on which to report according to the first reporting quantity type and a second subset of measurement resources in a measurement resource set on which to report according to the second reporting quantity type, such that the portions of resources measured according to each reporting quantity type are the same or different. In some implementations, the UE 115-c may receive a configuration message including an indication of a measurement resource set on which to report according to the first reporting quantity type and the second reporting quantity type, such that the resources measured according to each reporting quantity are the same. In some cases, the configuration message may include an indication of measurement resource sets corresponding to multiple transmission beams (e.g., downlink transmission beams).

[0115] In some cases, the UE 115-c may receive control signaling indicating a measurement payload size. In some cases, the UE 115-c may receive the control signaling as an RRC message, a MAC-CE message, or a DCI message. In some implementations, the UE 115-c may receive a configuration message indicating use of a reference measurement payload size as the measurement payload size.

[0116] In some cases, such as when the UE 115-c is configured to perform aperiodic or semi-persistent reporting, the UE 115-c may receive a measurement trigger from the base station 105-c at 410, which may trigger the UE 115-c to perform aperiodic or semi-persistent reporting. In some cases, the measurement trigger may be a MAC-CE activation message, a DCI trigger message for semi-persistent reporting, an aperiodic CSI-RS, or a combination thereof.

[0117] At 415, the base station 105-c may send beam-related signals (e.g., SSB beam / CSI-RS) through a beam set, such as in a beam scanning manner, based on the measurement configuration message. For example, the base station 105-b may send an SSB beam for the UE 115-c to perform measurements on, or send a CSI-RS through a beam set for the UE 115-c to measure. The UE 115-c may receive and measure beam-related signals through a beam set according to parameters defined in the measurement configuration message. For example, the UE 115-c may measure a first resource set according to a first reporting quantity type and a second resource set according to a second reporting quantity type.

[0118] UE 115-c may measure at least a subset of a measurement resource set according to a first reporting quantity type and at least a subset of a measurement resource set according to a second reporting quantity type, wherein the measurement resource set and / or subset of the measurement resource set are indicated in a measurement configuration message or some other message from base station 105-c.

[0119] At 420, the UE 115-c may determine a measurement payload size for generating the measurement payload for the first reporting quantity type and the second reporting quantity type. In some cases, the UE 115-c may determine the measurement payload size based on a larger of a first payload size associated with the first reporting quantity type and a second payload size associated with the second reporting quantity type. Based on the first payload size being larger than the second payload size, the UE 115-c may generate the second measurement payload by adding one or more bits to the payload of the second reporting quantity type.

[0120] In some cases, such as when the UE 115-c receives a reference measurement payload size, the UE 115-c may determine a measurement payload size that is a reference measurement payload size for the UE 115-c to use when generating a measurement payload associated with each of the first reporting quantity type and the second reporting quantity type. Based on the payload size of the payload of the first reporting quantity type being less than the reference measurement payload size, the UE 115-c may generate the first measurement payload by adding one or more bits to the payload of the first reporting quantity type to generate the first measurement payload having the reference measurement payload size. Based on the payload size of the first reporting quantity type being greater than the reference measurement payload size, the UE 115-c may generate the first measurement payload by removing one or more bits from the payload of the first reporting quantity type to generate the first measurement payload having the reference measurement payload size. The UE 115-c may generate the first measurement payload by rounding the payload of the first reporting quantity type to generate the first measurement payload. Based on the payload size of the payload of the first reporting quantity type being greater than the reference measurement payload size, the first measurement payload may have the reference measurement payload size.

[0121] In some cases, to determine the measurement payload size, the UE 115-c may retrieve the measurement payload size from a memory of the UE 115-c. In some cases, the UE 115-c may determine a total payload size or a per-report payload size for generating the first measurement payload and the second measurement payload, and the UE 115-c may determine the measurement payload size for each of the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type based on the total payload size or the per-report payload size. In some cases, the UE 115-c may retrieve the total payload size or the per-report payload size from a memory of the UE 115-c. The UE 115-c is pre-configured in memory or receives signaling from a base station with a fixed payload size, which is a per-report payload size, a total payload size, or both. In some cases, the UE 115-c may receive control signaling indicating the total payload size or the per-report payload size.

[0122] At 425, the UE 115-c may send a measurement report with a reporting quantity to the base station 105-c based on the measurement configuration message. For example, the UE 115-c may send a measurement report to the base station 105-c, which may include a first measurement payload with a measurement payload size of a first reporting quantity type and a second measurement payload with a measurement payload size of a second reporting quantity type.

[0123] Optionally, at 430, the UE 115-c may receive an RRC reconfiguration message from the base station 105-c, which may adjust one or more parameters associated with the RRC configuration based on the measurement report. In some implementations, the UE 115-c may receive the RRC reconfiguration message based on the measurement report including the first measurement payload and the second measurement payload. Optionally, for example, in the event that the UE 115-c receives a MAC-CE activation message at 410, at 435, the UE 115-c may receive a MAC-CE activation or MAC-CE deactivation message from the base station 105-c.

[0124] Figure 5 A block diagram 500 of a device 505 supporting techniques for reporting multiple quantity types according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The device 505 may be an example of aspects of a UE 115 as described herein. The device 505 may include a receiver 510, a communication manager 515, and a transmitter 520. The device 505 may also include a processor. Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0125] Receiver 510 may receive information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to techniques for reporting multiple types of quantities, etc.), such as packets, user data, or control information. The information may be delivered to other components of device 505. Receiver 510 may be a reference Figure 8 Examples of aspects of transceiver 820 are described. Receiver 510 may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas.

[0126] The communication manager 515 can receive a configuration message indicating a first report quantity type and a second report quantity type for generating a measurement report from a base station, determine a measurement payload size for generating a measurement payload for the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type, and send a measurement report to the base station, the measurement report including a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the first report quantity type and a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the second report quantity type. The communication manager 515 can be an example of aspects of the communication manager 810 described herein.

[0127] The communication manager 515 or its subcomponents may be implemented in hardware, in code (e.g., software or firmware) executed by a processor, or any combination thereof. If implemented in code executed by a processor, the functionality of the communication manager 515 or its subcomponents may be implemented by a general purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described in the present disclosure.

[0128] The communication manager 515 or its subcomponents can be physically located in various locations, including being distributed so that a portion of the functionality is implemented by one or more physical components at different physical locations. In some examples, the communication manager 515 or its subcomponents can be separate and distinct components according to various aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the communication manager 515 or its subcomponents can be combined with one or more other hardware components, including but not limited to input / output (I / O) components, transceivers, network servers, another computing device, one or more other components described in the present disclosure, or a combination of the foregoing.

[0129] Transmitter 520 can transmit signals generated by other components of device 505. In some examples, transmitter 520 can be collocated with receiver 510 in a transceiver module. For example, transmitter 520 can be a reference Figure 8 Examples of aspects of the transceiver 820 are described. The transmitter 520 may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas.

[0130] The communication manager 515 as described herein may be implemented to achieve one or more potential advantages. One implementation may allow the device 505 to more efficiently report beam management related measurements. For example, the device 505 may measure and report multiple types of report quantities within a single measurement report by aligning the payload within the measurement report rather than configuring and sending multiple reports each associated with a different type of report quantity.

[0131] Based on implementing the payload alignment techniques described herein, the processor of the UE 115 (e.g., controlling the Figure 8 The described receiver 510, transmitter 520 or transceiver 820) can increase reliability, reduce latency and reduce overhead associated with beam management procedures performed between the base station 105 and the UE 115.

The device 605 may be an example of aspects of the device 505 or UE 115 as described herein. The device 605 may include a receiver 610, a communication manager 615, and a transmitter 635. The device 605 may also include a processor. Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0133] The receiver 610 may receive information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to techniques for reporting multiple types of quantities, etc.), such as packets, user data, or control information. The information may be delivered to other components of the device 605. The receiver 610 may be a reference Figure 8 Examples of aspects of transceiver 820 are described. Receiver 610 may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas.

[0134] The communication manager 615 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 515 as described herein. The communication manager 615 may include a configuration message manager 620, a payload size manager 625, and a measurement report manager 630. The communication manager 615 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 810 described herein.

[0135] The configuration message manager 620 may receive a configuration message indicating a first report quantity type and a second report quantity type for generating a measurement report from a base station. The payload size manager 625 may determine a measurement payload size for generating a measurement payload for the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type. The measurement report manager 630 may send a measurement report to the base station, the measurement report including a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the first report quantity type and a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the second report quantity type.

[0136] Transmitter 635 can transmit signals generated by other components of device 605. In some examples, transmitter 635 can be collocated with receiver 610 in a transceiver module. For example, transmitter 635 can be a reference Figure 8 Examples of aspects of the transceiver 820 are described. The transmitter 635 may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas.

[0137] Figure 7A block diagram 700 of a communication manager 705 supporting techniques for reporting multiple quantity types according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The communication manager 705 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 515, the communication manager 615, or the communication manager 810 described herein. The communication manager 705 may include a configuration message manager 710, a payload size manager 715, a measurement report manager 720, a control signaling reception manager 725, a payload generation manager 730, and a resource measurement manager 735. Each of these modules may communicate with each other directly or indirectly (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0138] The configuration message manager 710 may receive a configuration message indicating a first report quantity type and a second report quantity type for generating a measurement report from a base station. The payload size manager 715 may determine a measurement payload size for generating a measurement payload for the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type. The measurement report manager 720 may send a measurement report to the base station, the measurement report including a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the first report quantity type and a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the second report quantity type.

[0139] In some examples, the configuration message manager 710 may receive a configuration message indicating the use of a larger of a first payload size associated with a first reporting quantity type and a second payload size associated with a second reporting quantity type as a measurement payload size. In some examples, the configuration message manager 710 may receive a configuration message indicating a measurement payload size, wherein the measurement payload size is determined based on the configuration message.

[0140] The control signaling reception manager 725 may receive control signaling indicating a measurement payload size. In some examples, the control signaling reception manager 725 may receive control signaling that is a radio resource control message, a medium access control element message, or a downlink control information message.

[0141] In some examples, the configuration message manager 710 may receive a radio resource control reconfiguration message from a base station based on a measurement report including a first measurement payload and a second measurement payload.

[0142] In some examples, payload size manager 715 can determine the measurement payload size based on the larger of a first payload size associated with the first reporting quantity type and a second payload size associated with the second reporting quantity type. In some examples, based on the first payload size being larger than the second payload size, payload size manager 715 can generate the second measurement payload by adding one or more bits to the payload of the second reporting quantity type.

[0143] In some examples, the configuration message manager 710 may receive a configuration message indicating to use a reference measurement payload size as the measurement payload size. In some examples, the payload size manager 715 may determine a measurement payload size that is a reference measurement payload size for the UE to use when generating a measurement payload associated with each of the first reporting quantity type and the second reporting quantity type. In some examples, the payload size manager 715 may retrieve the measurement payload size from a memory of the UE.

[0144] Based on the payload size of the payload of the first reporting quantity type being smaller than the reference measurement payload size, the payload generation manager 730 may generate the first measurement payload by adding one or more bits to the payload of the first reporting quantity type to generate the first measurement payload having the reference measurement payload size. In some examples, based on the payload size of the payload of the first reporting quantity type being larger than the reference measurement payload size, the payload generation manager 730 may generate the first measurement payload by removing one or more bits from the payload of the first reporting quantity type to generate the first measurement payload having the reference measurement payload size. In some examples, based on the payload size of the payload of the first reporting quantity type being larger than the reference measurement payload size, the payload generation manager 730 may generate the first measurement payload by rounding the payload of the first reporting quantity type to generate the first measurement payload having the reference measurement payload size.

[0145] In some examples, the payload size manager 715 may determine a total payload size or a per-report payload size for generating the first measurement payload and the second measurement payload.

In some examples, the control signaling reception manager 725 may receive control signaling indicating the total payload size or the per-report payload size.

[0146] In some cases, the first reporting quantity type and the second reporting quantity type are one of a layer 1 reference signal received power measurement or a layer 1 signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio measurement, wherein the first reporting quantity type is different from the second reporting quantity type.

[0147] In some examples, the configuration message manager 710 may receive a configuration message including an indication of a measurement resource set corresponding to a transmission beam set.

[0148] The resource measurement manager 735 may measure at least a subset of the measurement resource set according to the first reporting quantity type. In some examples, the resource measurement manager 735 may measure at least a subset of the measurement resource set according to the second reporting quantity type.

[0149] Figure 8 A diagram of a system 800 including a device 805 supporting techniques for reporting multiple quantity types according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The device 805 may be an example of or include components of a device 505, a device 605, or a UE 115 as described herein. The device 805 may include components for two-way voice and data communications, including components for sending and receiving communications, including a communication manager 810, an I / O controller 815, a transceiver 820, an antenna 825, a memory 830, and a processor 840. These components may communicate electronically via one or more buses (e.g., a bus 845).

[0150] The communication manager 810 can receive a configuration message indicating a first report quantity type and a second report quantity type for generating a measurement report from a base station, determine a measurement payload size for generating a measurement payload for the first report quantity type and the second report quantity type, and send a measurement report to the base station, the measurement report including a first measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the first report quantity type and a second measurement payload having a measurement payload size of the second report quantity type.

[0151] I / O controller 815 can manage input and output signals for device 805. I / O controller 815 can also manage peripheral devices that are not integrated into device 805. In some cases, I / O controller 815 can represent a physical connection or port to an external peripheral device. In some cases, I / O controller 815 can utilize an operating system, such as Or other known operating systems. In other cases, I / O controller 815 can represent or interact with a modem, keyboard, mouse, touch screen, or similar device.
