[0033] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

[0034] The communication method involved in the present disclosure can be applied to Figure 1 In the wireless communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the network system may include a network device 110 and a terminal 120. It can be understood that Figure 1 The wireless communication system shown is only for schematic illustration. The wireless communication system may also include other network devices, such as core network devices, wireless relay devices, and wireless backhaul devices. Figure 1 The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the number of network devices and terminals included in the wireless communication system.

[0035] It can be further understood that the wireless communication system of the embodiment of the present disclosure is a network that provides wireless communication functions. The wireless communication system can adopt different communication technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance. According to the capacity, rate, delay and other factors of different networks, the network can be divided into 2G (English: generation) network, 3G network, 4G network or future evolution network, such as the fifth generation wireless communication system (5G) network, and the 5G network can also be called NR. For the convenience of description, the present disclosure sometimes refers to the wireless communication network as a network.

[0036] Furthermore, the network device 110 involved in the present disclosure may also be referred to as a wireless access network device. The wireless access network device may be: a base station, an evolved node B (eNB), a home base station, an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WIFI) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP) or a TRP, etc. It may also be a gNB in ​​an NR system, or it may also be a component or a part of a device constituting a base station. When it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the network device may also be a vehicle-mounted device. It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the network device are not limited.

[0037] Furthermore, the terminal 120 involved in the present disclosure may also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., which is a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users. For example, the terminal may be a handheld device with wireless connection function, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. At present, some examples of terminals are: smart phones (mobile phones), pocket personal computers (PPCs), PDAs, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, tablet computers, wearable devices, or vehicle-mounted devices, etc. In addition, when it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the terminal device may also be a vehicle-mounted device. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the terminal.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device 110 and the terminal 120 may use any feasible wireless communication technology to achieve mutual data transmission. Among them, the transmission channel corresponding to the data sent by the network device 110 to the terminal 120 is called a downlink channel (DL), and the transmission channel corresponding to the data sent by the terminal 120 to the network device 110 is called an uplink channel (UL). It can be understood that the network device involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a base station. Of course, the network device may also be any other possible network device, and the terminal may be any possible terminal, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

[0039] In release (R) 18, the scenario of L1 / L2 based inter-cell mobility was proposed. Figure 2 The LTM scenario is shown. Figure 2 It can be seen that the terminal moves between cells, for example, according to the direction of the arrow, the terminal moves from cell 1 to cell 3. It can be understood that in the corresponding cell, the terminal can communicate with the network device of the cell through the TRP of the cell. Figure 2 In the illustrated scenario, the network device can maintain multiple candidate cells for the terminal. As the terminal moves, when cell switching is required, a cell can be selected from the multiple candidate cells as a target cell, and the terminal can switch to the target cell.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the switching delay and complete the switching as soon as possible, unlike the traditional cell switching, in this example, the radio resource control layer (RRC) parameters of each candidate cell can be pre-configured to the terminal. The network device can determine whether to perform a cell switching based on the measurement result of the L1 measurement performed by the terminal. When the network device determines that a cell switching is required, the terminal can be triggered to switch to the target cell through dynamic switching signaling.

[0041] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cell switching signaling interaction according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 The process of cell switching by a terminal is shown, which may include the following steps:

[0042] In step S11, candidate cell parameters are preconfigured for the terminal.

[0043] In some embodiments, the network device may pre-configure parameters of one or more candidate cells for the terminal.

[0044] For example, the network equipment of the source cell may pre-configure parameters of one or more candidate cells for the terminal. It is understood that since the source cell has established a connection with the terminal and provides services for the terminal, the network equipment of the source cell may pre-configure parameters of one or more candidate cells for the terminal, and since the candidate cell has not established a connection with the terminal, it cannot provide services to the terminal, and thus cannot configure corresponding parameters for the terminal.

[0045] It can be understood that, in general, parameters of multiple candidate cells can be configured. For example, the RRC parameters of each candidate cell are sent to the terminal in advance and stored in the terminal.

[0046] In some embodiments, the terminal may use preconfigured candidate cell parameters, such as beam measurement reference signals of each candidate cell, to perform beam measurement on at least one beam in the candidate cell to obtain a beam measurement result corresponding to the candidate cell. It is understood that beam measurement is usually performed on multiple beams in a candidate cell. Furthermore, when candidate cell parameters of multiple candidate cells are preconfigured, beam measurement can be performed on multiple different candidate cells using the corresponding candidate cell parameters to obtain beam measurement results corresponding to the multiple candidate cells.

[0047] In step S12, the terminal performs downlink synchronization.

[0048] In some embodiments, the terminal may perform downlink synchronization by receiving a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SSB).

[0049] In step S13, the terminal sends an L1 measurement report to the network equipment of the source cell.

[0050] In some embodiments, the terminal may send an L1 measurement report obtained by the measurement to the network device of the source cell. It can be understood that the source cell may be the serving cell where the terminal is located before the cell switching.

[0051] In some embodiments, the terminal performs beam measurement on the candidate cell, which may be L1 measurement, for example, measuring L1-reference signal receiving power (RSRP), L1-signal interference noise ratio (SINR), etc.

[0052] In step S14, the network equipment of the source cell determines whether to perform cell switching based on the L1 measurement report.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the network equipment of the source cell receives the L1 measurement report sent by the terminal, it can determine whether the terminal needs to perform cell switching based on the L1 measurement report.

[0054] For example, the network equipment of the source cell may determine that the terminal does not need to perform cell switching.

[0055] For another example, the network equipment of the source cell may determine that the terminal needs to perform a cell handover. Of course, the network equipment of the source cell may further determine which new cell the terminal is to be handed over to. For example, the cell after the terminal performs a cell handover may be referred to as a target cell. That is, the target cell is the serving cell after the terminal performs a cell handover.

[0056] It can be understood that the target cell may be a candidate cell selected by the network equipment of the source cell from one or more candidate cells as the target cell.

[0057] In step S15, the network equipment of the source cell sends a cell switching signaling to the terminal.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the network equipment of the source cell determines that the terminal needs to perform cell switching, the network equipment of the source cell may send a cell switching signaling to the terminal. The cell switching signaling may be used to instruct the terminal to perform cell switching.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cell switching signaling may also indicate a target cell.

[0060] In step S16, the terminal accesses the target cell.

[0061] In some embodiments, upon receiving the cell switching signaling, the terminal may access the target cell, thereby completing the cell switching of the terminal.

[0062] I understand. Figure 3 In the process shown, the terminal needs to perform L1 measurement on each candidate cell and report the measurement results to the network equipment of the source cell. The network equipment of the source cell determines whether the terminal needs to perform cell switching based on the measurement results. However, how to report the measurement results of each candidate cell is still undecided.

[0063] Therefore, the present disclosure provides an information reporting method, apparatus, device and storage medium, which performs beam measurement on at least one candidate cell and reports part or all of the measured beam measurement results to a network device, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0064] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a beam measurement result reporting method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the method is executed by the terminal and may include the following steps:

[0065] In step S21, beam measurement is performed on N first cells to obtain beam measurement results corresponding to the first cells.

[0066] In some embodiments, the terminal may perform beam measurement on N first cells, thereby obtaining beam measurement results corresponding to each first cell.

[0067] Wherein, N is a positive integer greater than 1, and the N first cells may include at least one candidate cell.

[0068] For example, the N first cells may include only candidate cells. In this case, the N first cells include multiple candidate cells. For another example, the N first cells may include a source cell and a candidate cell. In this case, the N first cells may include a source cell and at least one candidate cell. It can be understood that the source cell refers to the current serving cell of the terminal, and can also be considered as a serving cell that provides services to the terminal before the terminal performs cell switching. The candidate cell is a non-serving cell.

[0069] For example, the terminal may be pre-configured with configuration parameters corresponding to N first cells. The configuration parameters are used by the terminal to measure the corresponding first cells, such as performing L1 measurement. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a cell pre-configuration parameter structure is shown. It can be seen that the cell pre-configuration parameters may include a source cell reference signal list configuration and y candidate cell reference signal list configurations. Where y is a positive integer. Of course, in the case where the N first cells do not include the source cell, the cell pre-configuration parameters may only include y candidate cell reference signal list configurations, in which case y may be a positive integer greater than 1.

[0070] It can be understood that the reference signal list configuration for each cell may include one or more reference signal configuration parameters. Then, L1 measurement is performed through the configuration parameters of each reference signal. Generally, the reference signal list configuration for each cell includes multiple reference signal configuration parameters.

[0071] For example, the terminal may perform beam measurement on N first cells based on pre-configured cell pre-configuration parameters, and obtain beam measurement results corresponding to each first cell.

[0072] In step S22, the first information is sent.

[0073] In some embodiments, the terminal may send first information to the network device, wherein the first information includes a beam measurement result corresponding to at least one first cell among the N first cells.

[0074] For example, the terminal performs beam measurement on N first cells through S21, and obtains the beam measurement results corresponding to each first cell. That is to say, the terminal obtains the beam measurement results corresponding to the N cells. The terminal can select part or all of the beam measurement results corresponding to the N cells for reporting. For example, the beam measurement results of some cells are selected from the N beam measurement results for reporting, that is, the beam measurement results corresponding to some of the N first cells are reported. For another example, the N beam measurement results are reported, that is, the beam measurement results corresponding to the N first cells are reported.

[0075] It can be understood that, for a network device, when receiving the first information sent by the terminal, it can determine whether the terminal performs a cell handover and / or determine a target cell for the terminal to perform a cell handover based on the first information.

[0076] The present disclosure performs beam measurement on at least one candidate cell and reports part or all of the measured beam measurement results to the network device, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0077] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another beam measurement result method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0078] In step S31, second information is received.

[0079] In some embodiments, the terminal may receive second information sent by the network device, wherein the second information is used to configure the number of beams M corresponding to each first cell included in the first information, where M is a positive integer.

[0080] For example, the terminal may receive the second information sent by the network device. The second information is configured with the number M of beams corresponding to each first cell. The terminal may determine the beam measurement results corresponding to each cell included in the first information when the first information is sent. It can be understood that the beam measurement results corresponding to each first cell in the first information may include the measurement results of M beams among the multiple beams measured by the first cell. That is, the beam measurement results corresponding to each first cell are composed of the measurement results corresponding to the M beams in the first cell.

[0081] It should be understood that the number of beams M corresponding to different cells may be the same or different, and this disclosure does not limit this. Of course, in some embodiments, if the number of beams M corresponding to each first cell configured by the network device is the same, only one M may be configured to indicate the number of beams corresponding to each first cell.

[0082] In some embodiments, for each cell, the M beams may be the M beams with the best measurement results in each first cell reported. For example, the measurement results are sorted according to their size, and the measurement results corresponding to the first M beams are selected to form the beam measurement results of the cell.

[0083] Of course, it should be understood that the value of M is usually less than or equal to the number of beams used when the network device pre-configures each cell for beam measurement. For example, if the network device pre-configures the number of beams / measurement reference signals used to perform beam measurement on a cell as 5, then M is usually less than or equal to 5.

[0084] However, it is worth noting that in some cases, if M is greater than the number of beams that each cell is pre-configured to perform beam measurement when the network device pre-configures each cell. For example, the network device pre-configures the beam / measurement reference signal for beam measurement of a cell to be 5, and M is greater than 5. In this case, the first information sent by the terminal can be filled with specific bit information to complete the filling. For example, when the network device configures the terminal to perform beam measurement on cell 1, it measures 5 beams / measurement reference signals. When the terminal determines the beam measurement result corresponding to cell 1 in the first information, it can be based on the measurement results corresponding to the 5 beams / measurement reference signals, and fill in the gaps to obtain the beam measurement result corresponding to cell 1. It can be understood that since the network device configures M beams corresponding to each cell in the first information. And the number of beams measured by the terminal does not reach M, the first information can be reported by filling in the gaps.

[0085] Of course, in other embodiments, for each cell, if M is greater than the number of beams that are pre-configured for beam measurement in each cell when the network device pre-configures each cell. Then the first information may not need to be filled in, and only include the measurement results corresponding to the beams actually measured. For example, the network device pre-configures 5 beams when performing beam measurement on a certain cell, and M is greater than 5. In this case, the first information sent by the terminal can be obtained based only on the measurement results corresponding to the 5 beams.

[0086] It should be clear that the present disclosure does not limit the method for determining the first information when M is greater than the number of beams when the network device pre-configures each cell for beam measurement. The first information can be determined according to the timing, and the present disclosure does not limit it.

[0087] The present disclosure can configure the number of beams corresponding to each cell reported by the terminal through the network device, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0088] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first cell included in the first information is L first cells, L is determined based on the network device configuration, where L is a positive integer and L is less than or equal to N; the at least one first cell included in the first information is determined by at least one of the following methods: based on the first result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the first result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell; based on the second result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the second result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement results corresponding to M beams in the first cell, and the measurement results corresponding to the M beams meet the first measurement result condition; based on the third result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the third result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result in the first cell that meets the second measurement condition; based on the fourth result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the fourth result of the first cell is obtained by filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first information may include beam measurement results corresponding to L first cells, where L may be determined based on a network device configuration and L is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

[0090] In some embodiments, based on the first result of each first cell in the N first cells, L first cells are determined. The first result of the first cell may be determined based on the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell.

[0091] For example, for each first cell in the N first cells, the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell is calculated to obtain the first result of the first cell. The terminal can sort the first results of each first cell to determine the top L first cells. The L first cells are the L first cells included in the first information.

[0092] The measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell are calculated by summing the measurement results corresponding to each beam and calculating a weighted average value. Alternatively, the variance, standard deviation, etc. can be calculated. The specific calculation method can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited in this disclosure.

[0093] It can be understood that the first result can be sorted from large to small, and the L first cells are the first L first cells in the sorting.

[0094] It should be understood that the principle for determining the first cell in the first information in each embodiment of the present disclosure may be to select the first L first cells with the best beam quality or the first L cells with the best beam quality after calculation.

[0095] In some embodiments, L first cells are determined based on the second result of each first cell in the N first cells, wherein the second result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement results corresponding to M beams in the first cell, and the measurement results corresponding to the M beams meet the first measurement result condition.

[0096] For example, for each of the N first cells, the measurement results corresponding to the M beams in the first cell are calculated to obtain a second result of the first cell. The terminal may sort the second results of each first cell to determine the top L first cells. The L first cells are the L first cells included in the first information.

[0097] The measurement results corresponding to the M beams in the first cell are calculated by summing the measurement results corresponding to each beam and calculating a weighted average value. Alternatively, the variance, standard deviation, etc. can be calculated. The specific calculation method can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited in this disclosure.

[0098] For example, the M beams may be beams whose measurement results in the first cell satisfy the first measurement result condition. For example, the first measurement result condition may be the M beams with the best beam quality in the first cell.

[0099] It can be understood that the second result can be sorted from large to small, and the L first cells are the first L first cells in the sorting.

[0100] In some embodiments, based on the third result of each first cell in the N first cells, L first cells are determined, wherein the third result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result of the first cell that meets the second measurement condition.

[0101] For example, the third results of each first cell in the N first cells are sorted to determine the top L first cells in the sorting. The L first cells are the L first cells included in the first information.

[0102] For example, for each first cell, the third result of the first cell may be a measurement result in which the measurement result in the first cell satisfies the second measurement result condition.

[0103] For example, the second measurement result condition may be a measurement result corresponding to a beam with the best beam quality selected from the first cell.

[0104] It can be understood that the third result can be sorted from large to small, and the L first cells are the first L first cells in the sorting.

[0105] In some embodiments, based on the fourth result of each first cell in the N first cells, L first cells are determined, wherein the fourth result of the first cell is obtained by filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell.

[0106] For example, for each of the N first cells, the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell is filtered to obtain a filtered measurement result. The terminal can determine L first cells based on the filtered measurement result, in combination with the above embodiment, based on the measurement result after filtering of each beam in the first cell, or based on the measurement result after filtering of M beams in the first cell.

[0107] For each first cell, for example, the measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell may be directly filtered. For another example, the first result of the first cell may be filtered, that is, the average measurement result of the first cell may be filtered. For another example, the second result of the first cell may be filtered, that is, the average measurement result of the M beams of the first cell may be filtered. It can be understood that filtering the measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell includes filtering the third result of the first cell.

[0108] In some embodiments, the filtering method may be L3 filtering. Alternatively, the filtering method may be a newly defined filtering method, such as a filtering method specifically used in the present disclosure to filter the measurement results. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0109] Among them, filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in each first cell may be, for any beam, recording multiple measurements of the beam or measurement results within a certain period of time. Taking a weighted average based on the measurement results of multiple measurements of the beam to obtain the measurement result after the beam is filtered. Of course, in other examples, the variance, standard deviation, etc. may also be taken to obtain the measurement result after the beam is filtered.

[0110] It can be understood that the method of determining L first cells based on the filtered measurement results can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment of determining L first cells based on the measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell, and the corresponding description of the embodiment of determining L first cells based on the measurement results corresponding to M beams in the first cell, which will not be repeated in this disclosure.

[0111] The present disclosure provides multiple ways to determine the first cell in the first information, so as to report part or all of the beam measurement results obtained by measurement to the network device as required, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on accurate measurement results, improve the accuracy of cell switching, and ensure the communication stability of the terminal after switching.

[0112] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first cell included in the first information includes at least a source cell; determining L first cells includes: determining L-1 first cells.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first information may include at least a beam measurement result of the source cell. That is, the L first cells in the first information include at least the source cell. For the terminal, the remaining L-1 first cells may be determined. The L-1 first cells may be candidate cells.

[0114] It can be understood that the manner in which the terminal determines L-1 first cells is the same as the manner in which the terminal determines L first cells, and the only difference is that the number of determined first cells is different. For details, reference may be made to the above corresponding embodiments, and this disclosure will not repeat them any more.

[0115] In the present disclosure, the first information may include at least the beam measurement result of the source cell, so that the source cell network equipment can compare the measurement result of the source cell with the measurement result of the candidate cell in real time, decide whether the terminal performs cell switching, and improve the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0116] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first cell included in the first information is A first cells, A is determined based on the terminal, where A is a positive integer and A is less than or equal to N; the method may also include: determining a measurement threshold; or, determining a measurement threshold and an offset value. At least one first cell included in the first information is determined in at least one of the following ways: determining A first cells based on a first result and a measurement threshold of each first cell among the N first cells, wherein the first result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell; determining A first cells based on the first result, a measurement threshold and an offset value of each first cell among the N first cells; determining A first cells based on a second result and a measurement threshold of each first cell among the N first cells, wherein the second result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result corresponding to M beams in the first cell, and the measurement results corresponding to the M beams meet the first measurement result condition; determining A first cells based on the second result, a measurement threshold and an offset value of each first cell among the N first cells; determining A first cells based on a fourth result and a measurement threshold of each first cell among the N first cells, wherein the fourth result of the first cell is obtained by filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell; determining A first cells based on the fourth result, a measurement threshold and an offset value of each first cell among the N first cells.

[0117] In some embodiments, the first information may include beam measurement results corresponding to A first cells, where A may be determined by the terminal itself, and A is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

[0118] In some embodiments, the terminal may also determine a measurement threshold.

[0119] For example, the terminal configures the measurement threshold based on the network device. For another example, the predefined rule predefines the measurement threshold, and the terminal determines the measurement threshold based on the predefined rule.

[0120] In some embodiments, the terminal may also determine a measurement threshold and an offset value.

[0121] For example, the terminal configures the measurement threshold and the offset value based on the network device. For another example, the predefined rule predefines the measurement threshold, and the terminal determines the measurement threshold and the offset value based on the predefined rule.

[0122] In some embodiments, A first cells are determined based on the first result of each first cell in the N first cells and a measurement threshold, wherein the first result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell.

[0123] For example, for each first cell in the N first cells, the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell is calculated to obtain the first result of the first cell. The terminal can determine the first cell whose A first results meet the measurement threshold, and determine that the first information includes the beam measurement results corresponding to the A first cells.

[0124] The measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell are calculated by summing the measurement results corresponding to each beam and calculating a weighted average value. Alternatively, the variance, standard deviation, etc. can be calculated. The specific calculation method can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited in this disclosure.

[0125] It should be understood that the principle for determining the first cell in the first information in each embodiment of the present disclosure may be to select the first A first cells with the best beam quality or the first A cells with the best beam quality after calculation.

[0126] In some embodiments, A first cells are determined based on the first result of each first cell in the N first cells, a measurement threshold and an offset value.

[0127] For example, for each first cell in the N first cells, the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell is calculated to obtain the first result of the first cell. The terminal can determine the first cell whose A first results meet the measurement threshold plus the offset value, and determine that the first information includes the beam measurement results corresponding to the A first cells.

[0128] The measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell are calculated by summing the measurement results corresponding to each beam and calculating a weighted average value. Alternatively, the variance, standard deviation, etc. can be calculated. The specific calculation method can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited in this disclosure.

[0129] In some embodiments, A first cells are determined based on the second result of each first cell in the N first cells and a measurement threshold, wherein the second result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement results corresponding to the M beams in the first cell, and the measurement results corresponding to the M beams meet the first measurement result condition.

[0130] For example, for each first cell in the N first cells, the measurement results corresponding to the M beams in the first cell are calculated to obtain the second result of the first cell. The terminal can determine the first cell that meets the measurement threshold based on the second results of each first cell, and determine that the first information includes the beam measurement results corresponding to the A first cells.

[0131] The measurement results corresponding to the M beams in the first cell are calculated by summing the measurement results corresponding to each beam and calculating a weighted average value. Alternatively, the variance, standard deviation, etc. can be calculated. The specific calculation method can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited in this disclosure.

[0132] For example, the M beams may be beams whose measurement results in the first cell satisfy the first measurement result condition. For example, the first measurement result condition may be the M beams with the best beam quality in the first cell.

[0133] In some embodiments, A first cells are determined based on the second result of each first cell in the N first cells, a measurement threshold, and an offset value.

[0134] For example, for each of the N first cells, the measurement results corresponding to the M beams in the first cell are calculated to obtain the second result of the first cell. The terminal can satisfy the first cell of the measurement threshold plus the offset value according to the second result of each first cell, and determine that the first information includes the beam measurement results corresponding to the A first cells.

[0135] In some embodiments, A first cells are determined based on the fourth result of each first cell in the N first cells and a measurement threshold, wherein the fourth result of the first cell is obtained by filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell.

[0136] For example, for each of the N first cells, the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell is filtered to obtain a filtered measurement result. The terminal can determine A first cells based on the filtered measurement result and in combination with the above embodiment, based on the filtered measurement result and measurement threshold of each beam in the first cell, or based on the filtered measurement result and measurement threshold of M beams in the first cell.

[0137] For each first cell, for example, the measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell may be directly filtered. For another example, the first result of the first cell may be filtered, that is, the average measurement result of the first cell may be filtered. For another example, the second result of the first cell may be filtered, that is, the average measurement result of the M beams of the first cell may be filtered. It can be understood that filtering the measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell includes filtering the third result of the first cell.

[0138] In some embodiments, the filtering method may be L3 filtering. Alternatively, the filtering method may be a newly defined filtering method, such as a filtering method dedicated to filtering the measurement results in the present disclosure. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0139] Among them, filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in each first cell may be, for any beam, recording multiple measurements of the beam or measurement results within a certain period of time. Taking a weighted average based on the measurement results of multiple measurements of the beam to obtain the measurement result after the beam is filtered. Of course, in other examples, the variance, standard deviation, etc. may also be taken to obtain the measurement result after the beam is filtered.

[0140] It can be understood that the method of determining A first cells based on the filtered measurement results can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment of determining A first cells based on the measurement results and measurement thresholds corresponding to each beam in the first cell; and the corresponding description of the embodiment of determining A first cells based on the measurement results and measurement thresholds corresponding to M beams in the first cell, which will not be repeated in this disclosure.

[0141] In some embodiments, A first cells are determined based on the fourth result of each first cell among the N first cells, a measurement threshold and an offset value.

[0142] For example, for each of the N first cells, the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell is filtered to obtain a filtered measurement result. The terminal can determine A first cells based on the filtered measurement result and in combination with the above embodiment, based on the filtered measurement result of each beam in the first cell and the measurement threshold plus the offset value, or based on the filtered measurement result of M beams in the first cell and the measurement threshold plus the offset value.

[0143] It can be understood that the method of determining A first cells based on the filtered measurement results can refer to the above-mentioned embodiment of determining A first cells based on the measurement results corresponding to each beam in the first cell and the measurement threshold plus the offset value; and the corresponding description of the embodiment of determining A first cells based on the measurement results corresponding to M beams in the first cell and the measurement threshold plus the offset value, which will not be repeated in this disclosure.

[0144] The present disclosure provides a variety of methods to determine the first cell in the first information, so that the source cell network device can reduce the reporting overhead while deciding whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results.

[0145] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another beam measurement result method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, determining the measurement threshold may include the following steps:

[0146] In step S41, third information is received.

[0147] In some embodiments, the terminal may receive third information sent by the network device.

[0148] In some embodiments, the third information is used to configure a reporting condition, wherein the reporting condition is a condition related to a measurement threshold.

[0149] For example, the reporting condition may be a measurement threshold.

[0150] For example, the reporting condition may be a condition of satisfying a measurement threshold, and satisfying the measurement threshold may be greater than or equal to the measurement threshold.

[0151] In some embodiments, the third information is used to configure a reporting condition, wherein the reporting condition is a condition related to a measurement threshold and an offset value.

[0152] For example, the reporting condition may be a measurement threshold and an offset value.

[0153] For example, the reporting condition may be a condition of satisfying a measurement threshold plus an offset value. Then satisfying the measurement threshold may be greater than or equal to the measurement threshold plus the offset value.

[0154] In some embodiments, the third information is used to configure a reporting condition, wherein the reporting condition may be other possible reporting conditions, for example, the terminal may be triggered to send the first information based on any other possible reporting condition.

[0155] The present disclosure can configure corresponding parameters so that the terminal determines the number of first cells in the first information. The source cell network device determines whether the terminal performs cell switching based on the measured candidate cells, while reducing unnecessary reporting and reporting overhead.

[0156] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another beam measurement result method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0157] In step S51, fourth information is received.

[0158] In some embodiments, the terminal may receive fourth information sent by the network device. The fourth information is used to indicate a maximum value X of the number of first cells in the first information. Where X is a positive integer.

[0159] For example, the terminal receives fourth information sent by the network device, and the fourth information indicates a maximum value X of the number of first cells in the first information. The terminal determines that the number of first cells included in the first information cannot exceed X at most based on the fourth information.

[0160] For example, when the terminal determines that the number of first cells in the first information is A, and A is less than or equal to X, the first information may include beam measurement results corresponding to L cells.

[0161] For another example, when the terminal determines that the number of first cells in the first information is A, and A is greater than X, the first information may include X first cells. It can be understood that the X first cells may be determined based on A first cells.

[0162] For example, the terminal determines the beam measurement results corresponding to A first cells, but A is greater than X. The terminal determines that the first information can only include the beam measurement results corresponding to X cells. The terminal can select the beam measurement results corresponding to X first cells from the beam measurement results corresponding to the A first cells, and carry them in the first information.

[0163] The present disclosure can set the maximum number of first cells in the first information to avoid reporting beam measurement results of too many cells, reduce the consumption of communication resources, and improve cell switching efficiency.

[0164] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first cell included in the first information includes at least a source cell; determining A first cells includes: determining A-1 first cells.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first information may include at least a beam measurement result of the source cell. That is, the A first cells in the first information include at least the source cell. For the terminal, the remaining A-1 first cells may be determined. The A-1 first cells may be candidate cells.

[0166] It can be understood that the manner in which the terminal determines A-1 first cells is the same as the manner in which the A first cells are determined, and the only difference is that the number of the determined first cells is different. For details, reference may be made to the above corresponding embodiments, and this disclosure will not elaborate on them again.

[0167] In the present disclosure, the first information may include at least the beam measurement result of the source cell, so that the source cell network equipment can compare the measurement result of the source cell with the measurement result of the candidate cell in real time, decide whether the terminal performs cell switching, and improve the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0168] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first information includes any one of the following parameters: a measurement result and at least one differential value; for each of the L, A or X first cells, including a measurement result and at least one differential value; for each of the L, A or X first cells, in the order of the measurement results from large to small or from small to large, including the measurement results corresponding to at least one beam in each cell.

[0169] In some embodiments, the first information may include a measurement result and at least one differential value.

[0170] For example, the first information may include the measurement result of a beam of a cell. The measurement results of the remaining beams in the cell can be indicated by the differential value between them and the measurement result. For example, the first information includes the measurement result of beam 1 in cell 1. The measurement results of the remaining beams in cell 1 can be indicated by the differential value. And each differential value can be a differential value between it and the measurement result of beam 1. In other words, the measurement result of beam 2 can be determined by differential value 1. The measurement result of beam 2 can be obtained by the measurement result of beam 1 and differential value 1. The measurement result of beam 3 can be determined by differential value 2. The measurement result of beam 3 can be obtained by the measurement result of beam 1 and differential value 2. And so on. Of course, the measurement results of each beam in cell 2 can also be obtained by the differential value between them and the measurement result of beam 1 in cell 1.

[0171] Refer to Table 1 for a schematic diagram of first information.

[0172]

[0173] Table 1

[0174] Different beams are indicated by reference signal identifiers. The reference signal identifier indicates the corresponding reference signal, so that the beam used to receive the reference signal is used as the beam for beam detection. In Table 1, q is a positive integer greater than 1, and q' is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0175] In some embodiments, Table 2 shows another schematic table of first information.

[0176]

[0177] Table 2

[0178] It can be seen that Table 2 is different from Table 1 in that different cells can be indicated in the first information first, and then the beam measurement results of each beam in each cell can be indicated. Among them, the cell can be indicated by the cell identifier. It can be understood that since the number of beams in each first cell in the first information is determined. Therefore, based on the predetermined number of beams, it is known which beams correspond to which cells. For example, assuming that the number of beams in the first cell is q, it can be known that beams 1 to beam q in Table 2 correspond to cell 1, and beams q+1 to beam 2q can correspond to cell 2, etc.

[0179] In some embodiments, the first information may include a measurement result and at least one differential value for each of the L, A or X first cells.

[0180] For example, for each cell in the first information. Such as each cell in L cells, or each cell in A cells, or each cell in X cells. The measurement result of a beam of the cell may be included. The measurement results of the remaining beams in the cell may be indicated by the differential value between the measurement result and the beam 1. For example, the first information includes the measurement result of beam 1 in cell 1. The measurement results of the remaining beams in cell 1 may be indicated by the differential value. And each differential value may be the differential value between the measurement result of beam 1. In other words, the measurement result of beam 2 may be determined by differential value 1. The measurement result of beam 2 may be obtained by the measurement result of beam 1 and differential value 1. The measurement result of beam 3 may be determined by differential value 2. The measurement result of beam 3 may be obtained by the measurement result of beam 1 and differential value 2. And so on.

[0181] Referring to another schematic table of first information shown in Table 3,

[0182]

[0183] Table 3

[0184] In some embodiments, the first information may include, for each of the L, A or X first cells, measurement results corresponding to at least one beam in each cell in order from large to small or from small to large.

[0185] For example, for each cell in the first information, such as each cell in L cells, or each cell in A cells, or each cell in X cells, the best measurement result of each cell may be included, and then the second best measurement result of each cell may be included, and so on.

[0186] Referring to Table 4, another schematic table of first information is shown.

[0187] Cell 1 Beam 1 Beam Measurement Results 11 Cell 2 Beam 1 Beam measurement results 21 …… …… Cell B beam 1 Beam measurement result b1 Cell 1 Beam 2 Beam Measurement Results 12 Cell 2 Beam 2 Beam measurement results 22 …… …… Cell B beam 2 Beam measurement result b2 …… ……

[0188] Table 4

[0189] Among them, the value of B can be A, L or X. That is, the first B rows in the first information are used to represent the beam with the best beam measurement result of each cell in the B cells, and its corresponding beam measurement result. The B+1th row to the 2Bth row in the first information are used to represent the beam with the second best beam measurement result of each cell in the B cells, and its corresponding beam measurement result, and so on.

[0190] The present disclosure provides a variety of representations of the first information so that the source cell network device can decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0191] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first information includes a specific bit, and the specific bit is used to indicate the number of the first cell in the first information.

[0192] In some embodiments, the first information may include a specific bit, which is used to indicate the number of first cells in the first information.

[0193] For example, when the terminal determines the number A of the first cells in the first information, the first information may include a specific bit, which is used to indicate A determined by the terminal, so as to inform the network device how many beam measurement results corresponding to the cells are included in the first information sent by the terminal.

[0194] In some embodiments, the specific bits may be the first C bits in the first information, where C is a positive integer.

[0195] For example, the number of first cells indicated by 1 bit is at most 2. For another example, the number of first cells indicated by 2 bits is at most 4. For another example, the number of first cells indicated by 3 bits is at most 8. Therefore, the number of bits C can be set according to actual conditions, and the number of first cells in the first information is indicated by C bits.

[0196] The first information of the present disclosure may also indicate the number of included first cells, and report some or all of the measured beam measurement results to the network device, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0197] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another beam measurement result method according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 9 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0198] In step S61, fifth information is received.

[0199] In some embodiments, the terminal may receive fifth information sent by the network device. The fifth information may be used to configure reference signal parameters and reporting resources. The reference signal corresponding to the reference signal parameters is used for beam measurement, and the reporting resources are the time domain and frequency domain resources used to send the first information. It can be understood that the time domain and frequency domain resources include time domain resources and frequency domain resources.

[0200] For example, the terminal may determine which beams to perform beam measurement on based on the reference signal parameters in the fifth information. The terminal may also determine the time domain and frequency domain resources for sending the first information based on the reported resources, so that the terminal sends the first information based on the time domain and frequency domain resources.

[0201] The present disclosure can receive information for instructing a terminal to perform beam measurement reporting, so as to send first information based on the information, so that the source cell network device can decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0202] Based on the same concept, the present disclosure also provides a beam measurement result reporting method performed by a network device.

[0203] Fig.10 is a flow chart of another beam measurement result method according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.10 As shown, the method is executed by a network device and may include the following steps:

[0204] In step S71, first information is received.

[0205] In some embodiments, the network device may receive first information sent by the terminal, wherein the first information includes a beam measurement result corresponding to at least one first cell among the N first cells.

[0206] For example, the terminal performs beam measurement on N first cells and obtains the beam measurement results corresponding to each first cell. That is to say, the terminal obtains the beam measurement results corresponding to the N cells. The terminal can select part or all of the beam measurement results corresponding to the N cells for reporting. For example, the beam measurement results of some cells are selected from the N beam measurement results for reporting, that is, the beam measurement results corresponding to some of the N first cells are reported. For another example, the N beam measurement results are reported, that is, the beam measurement results corresponding to the N first cells are reported.

[0207] It can be understood that, for a network device, when receiving the first information sent by the terminal, it can determine whether the terminal performs a cell handover and / or determine a target cell for the terminal to perform a cell handover based on the first information.

[0208] Wherein, N is a positive integer greater than 1, and the N first cells may include at least one candidate cell.

[0209] For example, the N first cells may include only candidate cells. In this case, the N first cells include multiple candidate cells. For another example, the N first cells may include a source cell and a candidate cell. In this case, the N first cells may include a source cell and at least one candidate cell. It can be understood that the source cell refers to the current serving cell of the terminal, and can also be considered as a serving cell that provides services to the terminal before the terminal performs cell switching. The candidate cell is a non-serving cell.

[0210] For example, the network device may pre-configure configuration parameters corresponding to N first cells for the terminal. The configuration parameters are used by the terminal to measure the corresponding first cells, such as performing L1 measurement. Figure 5 As shown, the cell pre-configuration parameters may include a source cell reference signal list configuration and y candidate cell reference signal list configurations. Where y is a positive integer. Of course, in the case where the N first cells do not include the source cell, the cell pre-configuration parameters may only include y candidate cell reference signal list configurations, in which case y may be a positive integer greater than 1.

[0211] It can be understood that the reference signal list configuration for each cell may include one or more reference signal configuration parameters. Then, L1 measurement is performed through the configuration parameters of each reference signal. Generally, the reference signal list configuration for each cell includes multiple reference signal configuration parameters.

[0212] The present disclosure performs beam measurement on at least one candidate cell and reports part or all of the measured beam measurement results to the network device, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0214] In step S81, the second information is sent.

[0215] In some embodiments, the network device may send second information to the terminal, wherein the second information is used to configure the number of beams M corresponding to each first cell included in the first information, where M is a positive integer.

[0216] It can be understood that for the description of each embodiment of the second information, reference can be made to the description of the corresponding embodiment on the terminal side and its associated embodiments, and the present disclosure will not go into details here.

[0217] The present disclosure can configure the number of beams corresponding to each cell reported by the terminal through the network device, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on sufficient measurement results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of cell switching.

[0218] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first cell included in the first information is L first cells, L is determined based on the network device configuration, where L is a positive integer and L is less than or equal to N; the at least one first cell included in the first information is determined by at least one of the following methods: based on the first result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the first result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell; based on the second result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the second result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement results corresponding to M beams in the first cell, and the measurement results corresponding to the M beams meet the first measurement result condition; based on the third result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the third result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result in the first cell that meets the second measurement condition; based on the fourth result of each first cell in the N first cells, the L first cells are determined, where the fourth result of the first cell is obtained by filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell.

[0219] It can be understood that for the description of each embodiment of determining L first cells in the first information, reference may be made to the description of the corresponding embodiment on the terminal side and its associated embodiments, and the present disclosure will not go into details here.

[0220] The present disclosure provides multiple ways to determine the first cell in the first information, so as to report part or all of the beam measurement results obtained by measurement to the network device as required, thereby supporting the source cell network device to decide whether the terminal performs cell switching based on accurate measurement results, improve the accuracy of cell switching, and ensure the communication stability of the terminal after switching.

[0224] In the beam measurement result reporting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first cell included in the first information is A first cells, A is determined based on the terminal, wherein A is a positive integer and A is less than or equal to N; the method may also include: sending third information, the third information is used to configure a reporting condition, wherein the reporting condition is a condition related to the measurement threshold, or the reporting condition is a condition related to the measurement threshold and the offset value. At least one first cell included in the first information is determined in at least one of the following ways: determining A first cells based on a first result and a measurement threshold of each first cell among the N first cells, wherein the first result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result corresponding to each beam in the first cell; determining A first cells based on the first result, a measurement threshold and an offset value of each first cell among the N first cells; determining A first cells based on a second result and a measurement threshold of each first cell among the N first cells, wherein the second result of the first cell is determined based on the measurement result corresponding to M beams in the first cell, and the measurement results corresponding to the M beams meet the first measurement result condition; determining A first cells based on the second result, a measurement threshold and an offset value of each first cell among the N first cells; determining A first cells based on a fourth result and a measurement threshold of each first cell among the N first cells, wherein the fourth result of the first cell is obtained by filtering the measurement result corresponding to at least one beam in the first cell; determining A first cells based on the fourth result, a measurement threshold and an offset value of each first cell among the N first cells.

[0225] In some embodiments, Fig.12 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another beam measurement result method according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.12 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0226] In step S91, the third information is sent.
