Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement reporting method, device, terminal and medium. Background Art

[0002] In the existing measurement reporting technology, one measurement resource has only one type of beam information. When the network side needs to measure multiple beam information, it is necessary to configure multiple measurement resources for the terminal, each measurement resource has one type of beam information, and then the terminal measures the measurement resources at different times.

[0003] In the Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) system considering direct transmission links, the beam information sent by the direct transmission link and the RIS forwarding link is inseparable in time, that is, one measurement resource will correspond to more than one type of beam information. If the measurement report is still performed according to the existing mechanism, the terminal can only measure the measurement results of part of the beam information sent by the network side in one measurement, and it is unclear which beam corresponds to the measurement result. This makes it impossible for the network side to determine which link has better quality based on the terminal's report, and thus cannot maximize the transmission performance.

[0114] In the embodiments of the present invention, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0116] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0117] In order to facilitate understanding of the solution of this application, the relevant contents involved in this application are first introduced.

[0118] RIS is a candidate technology for the 6th generation mobile communication technology (6G), which has the characteristics of low cost, low energy consumption, programmability and easy deployment. RIS is an electromagnetically active surface with communication capabilities, consisting of a large-scale device array and an array control module; the array control module can be used to control the response of each device unit to the wireless signal, such as amplitude, phase, frequency, and polarization. By superimposing the wireless response signals of the device units on the large-scale device array, a specific beam propagation feature is formed on a macro scale, thereby forming a controllable intelligent wireless environment.

[0119] Since RIS does not have the ability to process digital signals, a control node with digital signal processing capabilities can be introduced to control RIS, or the network side can directly control RIS. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it is a block diagram of a RIS system including control nodes. Each control node can control a RIS array to use beamforming technology to serve the terminal. This transmission architecture is similar to the Network Controlled Repeater (NCR) technology, that is, the control node is equivalent to the Network Controlled Repeater-Mobile Terminal (NCR-MT), and the RIS is equivalent to the Network Controlled Repeater-Forward (NCR-Fwd). Among them, the transmission architecture adopted by NCR is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the direct link between the network side and the terminal is not explicitly considered, and there is no communication between the NCR-MT and the terminal.

[0120] In the prior art, each reporting setting is associated with one or more channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) measurement settings (resource setting), a CSI measurement setting includes one or more CSI resource sets (resource set) or synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block, SSB) resource sets, a CSI resource set includes one or more CSI-RS resources, an SSB resource set includes one or more SSB resources, and each channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS) resource or SSB resource is configured with at most one quasi-co-location (Quasi-co-location, QCL) parameter.

[0121] When the network side configures the UE to perform group-based measurement reporting, the UE can report N groups of beam information, each group containing information of 2 beams (CRI / SSBRI+Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (Layer 1Reference Signal ReceivedPower, L1-RSRP) / Layer 1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (Layer 1Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, L1-SINR)), where CRI / SSBRI is used to indicate the reference signal (CSI-RS resource or SSB resource) corresponding to the measurement value, and L1-RSRP / L1-SINR is used to indicate the measurement value.

[0122] When the network side configures the UE to perform non-group based measurement reporting, the UE can report N beam information, each beam corresponding to a CRI / SSBRI and a measurement value (L1-RSRP / L1-SINR).

[0123] In NCR, the direct link between the base station and the terminal is not explicitly considered. In fact, the terminal may receive signals sent by both the base station and the NCR. Especially in the scenario of full deployment of RIS, the direct link needs to be explicitly considered at least in the beam measurement phase. If the performance of the direct link is better, the terminal can be served without RIS, otherwise RIS can be used to serve the UE.

[0124] In addition, the measurement reporting methods in the prior art do not consider the situation where a measurement resource has more than one beam information. Even if it is necessary to measure two simultaneously transmitted links, different measurement resources are used for measurement. In the RIS system considering the direct transmission link, the signal sent by the base station and the signal forwarded by the RIS are always transmitted to the UE at the same time, that is, there are multiple beam information on one measurement resource. If the measurement reporting is still performed according to the existing mechanism, the terminal can only measure the measurement results of part of the beam information sent by the network side in one measurement, and it is unclear which beam corresponds to the measurement result. For example, when the quality of the direct transmission link is better than that of the RIS forwarding link, the terminal may only be able to measure the quality of the direct transmission link; when the quality of the RIS forwarding link is better than that of the direct transmission link, the terminal may only be able to measure the quality of the RIS forwarding link. This makes it impossible for the network side to determine which link has better quality based on the terminal's report, and thus cannot maximize the transmission performance.

[0125] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a measurement reporting method, device, terminal and medium, wherein the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving the problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0126] like Figure 3 As shown, a flow chart of a measurement reporting method provided in an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a terminal, including:

[0127] Step 301, receiving configuration information for at least one measurement resource sent by a network side device;

[0128] Here, the measurement resource may be a CSI-RS resource or an SSB resource.

[0129] Step 302: measure the measurement resource based on the beam information of the measurement resource to obtain at least one measurement value corresponding to the measurement resource, wherein at least one of the measurement values ​​is associated with one or more of at least one of the beam information;

[0130] The beam information of the measurement resource in this step may be the beam information configured by the network side, that is, the configuration information included in the above configuration information; or it may be pre-set beam information. If the measurement resource has one beam information, then after the measurement is performed, the measurement resource corresponds to one measurement value, and the measurement value corresponds to the one beam information; if the measurement resource has multiple beam information, then after the measurement is performed, the measurement resource corresponds to multiple measurement values, and the multiple measurement values ​​have a corresponding relationship with the multiple beam information.

[0131] Step 303: Report at least one measurement value to the network side device according to the configuration information or predefined rules.

[0132] The measurement reporting method of the embodiment of the present invention enables the terminal to measure the measurement results of multiple beam information that are displayed or implicitly corresponding to the same measurement resource, so that both the terminal and the network side can clearly know which link quality is better between the direct transmission link and the RIS forwarding link, and use the better link to serve the terminal, thereby improving the transmission performance of the system.

[0133] Optionally, the configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0134] the number of beam information configured for the measurement resource;

[0135] Beam information configured for the measurement resource; wherein the beam information may be a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state, a quasi-co-located QCL parameter, or a beam index. wherein the beam index is used to represent beam information of the RIS, such as a receive beam and / or a transmit beam of the RIS.

[0136] The first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to one measurement resource;

[0137] The second indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report a measurement value corresponding to a measurement resource and / or beam information corresponding to the measurement value;

[0138] A preset parameter value, where the preset parameter value is the number or number of bits of the measurement value to be reported.

[0139] In an optional embodiment, the above step 303, reporting at least one measurement value to the network side device according to the configuration information, may specifically include:

[0140] When the measurement resource is configured with beam information and the number of the beam information is greater than 1, reporting multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource to the network side device;

[0141] It should be understood that when at least one measurement resource is configured with more than one beam information, the terminal reports a measurement resource index (such as a CSI-RS resource indication (CRI) or an SSB resource indication (SSBRI)) identifying the measurement resource to the network side device, as well as multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource (which can be represented by the measurement resource index). Alternatively, when the terminal determines that the measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement resource index is configured with more than one beam information, the terminal reports the measurement resource index and multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the resource index to the network side device.

[0142] Alternatively, when the measurement resource is configured with beam information, and the beam information is a beam index or a quasi-co-location QCL parameter, reporting multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource to the network side device;

[0143] Alternatively, when the measurement resource is configured with beam information, and the beam information is a beam index or a transmission configuration indicating a TCI state, multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource are reported to the network side device.

[0144] For the latter two reporting modes of this embodiment, it should be understood that when at least one measurement resource is configured with a beam index or a QCL parameter, or when at least one measurement resource is configured with a beam index or a TCI state, the terminal reports the measurement resource index that identifies the measurement resource to the network side device, and multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource. Alternatively, when the terminal determines that the measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement resource index is configured with a beam index or a QCL parameter, or when the terminal determines that the measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement resource index is configured with a beam index or a TCI state, the terminal reports the measurement resource index and multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the resource index to the network side device.

[0145] In an optional embodiment, the above step 303, reporting at least one measurement value to the network side device according to a predefined rule, includes:

[0146] According to a predefined rule, when it is determined that the number of beam information of the measurement resource is greater than 1, multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource are reported to the network side device; or,

[0147] According to a predefined rule, when it is determined that the beam information of the measurement resource is a beam index or a QCL parameter, multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource are reported to the network side device; or,

[0148] According to predefined rules, when the beam information of the measurement resource is determined to be a beam index or a TCI state, multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource are reported to the network side device.

[0149] Optionally, the configuration information includes the first indication information; the configuration information is included in a reporting configuration, a resource configuration or a resource group configuration.

[0150] That is, the network side configures multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to one measurement resource of the terminal. The configuration can be for the entire reporting configuration or resource configuration (such as CSI resource configuration, that is, each measurement resource (expressed by CRI / SSBRI) corresponds to multiple measurement values; or only reports multiple measurement values ​​for measurement resources configured with 2 or more beam information), or for resource group configuration.

[0151] Optionally, the configuration information includes the second indication information, and a measurement value corresponding to the one measurement resource is a maximum measurement value among multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource.

[0152] Here, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal to report a measurement value corresponding to a measurement resource and / or beam information corresponding to the measurement value. It should be understood that the measurement resource reported by the terminal is configured with multiple beam information, or the measurement resource is determined to have multiple beam information according to a predefined rule, and multiple measurement values ​​correspond to the measurement resource after measuring the measurement resource based on the multiple beam information. The terminal reports one of the measurement values ​​according to the second indication information, and the measurement value is the maximum measurement value among the multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resource.

[0153] Optionally, the configuration information includes the second indication information; the configuration information is included in a reporting configuration, a resource configuration or a resource group configuration.

[0154] It should be noted that the second indication information may also indicate the beam information corresponding to the measurement value reported by the terminal, such as the beam information corresponding to the reported maximum measurement value.

[0155] Optionally, when reporting multiple measurement values ​​to the network side device, beam information corresponding to the measurement values ​​is indicated.

[0156] Here, when multiple measurement values ​​are reported to the network side device, the beam information corresponding to the measurement value is indicated according to the protocol agreement. In this way, the network side device can determine which link has a better measurement value based on the indicated beam information, and then schedule the link with better quality to serve the terminal.

[0157] In an optional embodiment, when multiple measurement values ​​are reported to the network side device, the method of the present invention further includes:

[0158] Report third indication information to the network side device, where the third indication information is used to indicate beam information corresponding to the measurement value.

[0159] This embodiment uses the third indication information, such as the maximum measurement value is quantized using 7 bits, and other measurement values ​​are quantized using 4 bits. It is also necessary to add an N-bit indication in the reporting information to indicate the correspondence between the maximum measurement value (non-differential measurement value, also called measurement value, that is, measurement value quantized using 7 bits) or differential measurement value (measurement value quantized using 4 bits) and the beam information.

[0160] For example, bit 0 indicates that the maximum measurement value corresponds to beam information 1, and bit 1 indicates that the measurement value corresponds to beam information 2. For another example, bit '00' indicates that the measurement value corresponds to beam information 1, bit '01' indicates that the measurement value corresponds to beam information 2, and bit '10' indicates that the measurement value corresponds to beam information 1 and beam information 2, that is, the measurement value is the result of the joint measurement of two beam information.

[0161] In this way, the network side device can determine which beam (link) the maximum measurement value or the larger measurement value corresponds to based on the third indication information, and then schedule the terminal to use a better link (such as a RIS forwarding link, or a network side device direct transmission link, or a RIS forwarding link and a network side device direct transmission link) for transmission.

[0162] It can be known from the above configuration information that some measurement resources correspond to one measurement value, and some measurement resources correspond to multiple measurement values. In order to ensure that the bit width of the reported information is fixed, in an optional embodiment, the configuration information includes the preset parameter value; the above step 303, reporting at least one measurement value to the network side device according to the configuration information, may specifically include:

[0163] 1. According to a preset rule, determine the preset parameter value from the measurement values ​​corresponding to all measurement resources;

[0164] The preset rules include at least one of the following:

[0165] Determine the rules for the measurement values ​​to be reported based on the size of the measurement values;

[0166] A rule for determining the measurement values ​​to be reported is based on the reported measurement resource index order.

[0167] Here, the measurement resource index may be CRI or SSBRI.

[0168] This step may specifically include:

[0169] In the case where the first parameter value is greater than the preset parameter value, after sorting according to the preset rule, a smaller measurement value in the order that exceeds the preset parameter value is discarded, and the first parameter value is the number of measurement values ​​corresponding to all measurement resources or the number of bits of the measurement values ​​corresponding to all measurement resources;

[0170] The remaining preset parameter value large measurement values ​​are determined as the preset parameter value measurement values ​​to be reported.

[0171] Here, when the preset parameter value is the number of measurement values ​​to be reported, the first parameter value is the number of measurement values ​​corresponding to all measurement resources; corresponding to this situation, when the number of measurement values ​​corresponding to all measurement resources is greater than the number of measurement values ​​to be reported, after sorting the measurement values ​​by size, the smaller measurement values ​​that exceed the number of measurement values ​​to be reported in the order are discarded; or after sorting according to the measurement resource index order, the smaller measurement values ​​that exceed the number of measurement values ​​to be reported in the order are discarded; finally, the remaining larger measurement values ​​(the number of which is equal to the number of measurement values ​​to be reported) are reported to the network side device.

[0172] For example, the terminal is to report 4 CRI / SSBRI and 6 measurement values, namely: CRI 11, L1-RSRP 1 = -50dBm, L1-RSRP 2 = -80dBm; CRI 16, L1-RSRP 3 = -72dBm; CRI 8, L1-RSRP 4 = -90dBm, L1-RSRP 5 = -58dBm; CRI 3, L1-RSRP 6 = -62dBm. The preset number of measurement values ​​is 4. According to the size of the measurement values, the terminal determines to report the four measurement values ​​of L1-RSRP 1, L1-RSRP 3, L1-RSRP 5 and L1-RSRP 6, and their corresponding CRI values, namely CRI 11, CRI 16, CRI 8 and CRI 3. According to the CRI index, the terminal determines to report CRI 3 (including L1-RSRP 6), CRI 8 (including L1-RSRP 4 and L1-RSRP 5), and CRI 11 (corresponding to L1-RSRP 1 and L1-RSRP 2). Since CRI 11 corresponds to 2 measurement values, the number of measurement values ​​exceeds the preset number, so CRI 11 can only report L1-RSRP 1, that is, the larger measurement value. So far, the terminal reports CRI 3 (including L1-RSRP 6), CRI 8 (including L1-RSRP 4 and L1-RSRP 5), and CRI11 (including L1-RSRP 1).

[0173] When the preset parameter value is the number of bits of the measurement value to be reported, the first parameter value is the number of bits of the measurement value corresponding to all measurement resources; corresponding to this situation, when the number of bits of the measurement value corresponding to all measurement resources is greater than the number of bits of the measurement value to be reported, after sorting the measurement values ​​by size, the smaller measurement value in the order that exceeds the number of bits of the measurement value to be reported is discarded; or after sorting by the measurement resource index order, the smaller measurement value in the order that exceeds the number of bits of the measurement value to be reported is discarded; finally, the remaining larger measurement value (the number of bits is equal to the number of bits of the measurement value to be reported) is reported to the network side device. 2. Report the preset parameter value measurement value to the network side device.

[0174] Embodiment 1

[0175] In this embodiment, the terminal uses multiple receiving beams or the terminal assumes multiple beam information to measure and report the same measurement resource.

[0176] When the terminal has the ability to use multiple beams for measurement simultaneously, it can report it to the base station through the capability reporting method. The base station can configure the terminal to use multiple beams or multiple beam information assumptions to perform measurement reporting on the same measurement resource through high-level parameters (such as the parameter ReceivewithmultiRX).

[0177] Each measurement resource (such as a CSI-RS resource or an SSB resource) is configured with at most 2 beam information, such as a QCL parameter, a beam index, or both are QCL parameters, or both are beam indexes; each measurement resource can also be configured with 1 beam information (the beam information can correspond to the beam information of the base station, or can correspond to the information of the equivalent link, which is not limited by the present invention).

[0178] For example, in Figure 4 In this case, only the network side (gNB) sends the beam, and RIS does not actively adjust the beam. The terminal (UE) can receive the information sent by the network side through the direct link, and can also receive the information forwarded by RIS. Since RIS does not adjust the received information of the UE, the measurement value of the measurement resource forwarded (reflected) by RIS may be poor.

[0179] Figure 5 It is also the case of configuring a beam information. The network side will align the transmit beam to the RIS, and the RIS will then align the transmit beam to the UE.

[0180] Figure 6 and Figure 7 Both are schematic diagrams of configuring two beam information. Figure 6 In the example, both beams are sent by the network side. Figure 7 In the figure, the two beam information correspond to the network side and RIS forwarding beams respectively.

[0181] Figures 4 to 7 The number of receiving beams of the UE is only taken as an example. The number of beams actually used by the UE may depend on the configuration on the network side (such as the parameter Receive with multi RX mentioned earlier) or the number of beam information configured on the network side (such as when the network side configures one beam information, the UE uses one receiving beam for reception; when the network side configures multiple beam information, the UE uses multiple receiving beams for reception) or the implementation method of the UE (even if the network side configures the UE to receive beams in two beam directions at the same time, the UE can also use only one receiving beam to measure the signal).

[0182] The UE can use at least one of the following methods to report measurements so that the network side can obtain measurement results of multiple links:

[0183] Option 1: The UE reports one or more measurement values ​​corresponding to a CRI / SSBRI according to predefined rules or network configuration.

[0184] Option 1-1: The UE reports multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to a CRI / SSBRI according to the number of beam information configured by the measurement resources and / or the content of the beam information.

[0185] For example, when at least one measurement resource in a resource set contains two beam information, the UE can report two measurement values ​​corresponding to a CRI or SSBRI when reporting, such as two L1-RSRP values, or two L1-SINR values. The two measurement values ​​correspond one-to-one to the two beam information, that is, the first measurement value corresponds to the first beam information, and the second measurement value corresponds to the second beam information. The two measurement values ​​respectively represent the measurement values ​​obtained by the UE based on the two beam information assumptions. The two beam information can be two TCI states or two QCL parameters, or one TCI state or QCL parameter and the other is a beam index. The first beam information and the second beam information can be determined according to the order in which the network configures the beam information, or according to the content of the beam information, such as the TCI state or QCL parameter is the first beam information, corresponding to the first measurement value, and the beam index is the second beam information, corresponding to the second measurement value; or the beam index is the first beam information, corresponding to the first measurement value, and the TCI state or QCL parameter is the second beam information, corresponding to the second measurement value. According to the correspondence between the beam information and the measurement value, the network side can determine the measurement value corresponding to each beam information according to the report of the UE.

[0186] Alternatively, when at least one measurement resource in a resource set contains two beam information, the UE can report three measurement values ​​corresponding to a CRI or SSBRI when reporting, where the first two measurement values ​​are measured based on each (first or second) beam information, respectively, and the third measurement value is a measurement value measured jointly based on all beam information, such as the L1-SINR value measured using a wider receiving beam, or the L1-SINR or L1-RSRP measurement value obtained by jointly receiving two beam information, etc., or the reported L1-SINR value reflects the interference of one beam information relative to another beam information.

[0187] Alternatively, when the measurement resource corresponding to the CRI or SSBRI reported by the UE contains two beam information, the UE may report two or three measurement values ​​corresponding to the CRI or SSBRI when reporting the CRI or SSBRI of the measurement resource. When the measurement resource corresponding to the CRI or SSBRI reported by the UE is configured with one beam information, the UE may only report one L1-RSRP value or one L1-SINR value corresponding to the CRI or SSBRI when reporting the CRI or SSBRI of the measurement resource. In this method, the number of reported CRI / SSBRIs and the number of measurement values ​​are pre-configured by the network side to ensure that the bit width of the measurement results reported by the UE is fixed. For example, the network side configures the UE to report 4 CRI / SSBRIs and 6 measurement results, and the 6 measurement results are reported in a differential manner. If there are 2 measurement results corresponding to three of the CRI / SSBRIs, there is no corresponding measurement result for the fourth CRI / SSBRI; if there are 2 measurement results corresponding to only one CRI / SSBRI, add all 0 bits or all 1 bits after all CRI / SSBRIs and measurement values ​​so that the number of bits reported by the UE is equal to the number of bits configured on the network side.

[0188] That is, define the measurement value ignoring (reporting) criteria. When the number of measurement values ​​corresponding to all CRI / SSBRIs is greater than the number configured on the network side, ignore the measurement value reporting in reverse order of CRI / SSBRI, that is, first ignore the measurement value corresponding to the last CRI / SSBRI. If the number of bits reported is still higher than the number of bits configured on the network side, then ignore the measurement value corresponding to the second-to-last CRI / SSBRI until the number of bits reported is equal to the number of bits configured on the network side. The order of CRI / SSBRI can be arranged from large to small according to the numerical value of CRI / SSBRI, or from small to large according to the maximum measurement value corresponding to CRI / SSBRI. For example, the terminal is to report 4 CRI / SSBRIs and 6 measurement values, namely: CRI 11, L1-RSRP 1 = -50dBm, L1-RSRP 2 = -80dBm; CRI 16, L1-RSRP 3 = -72dBm; CRI8, L1-RSRP 4 = -90dBm, L1-RSRP 5 = -58dBm; CRI 3, L1-RSRP 6 = -62dBm. The network side configures the terminal to report 4 measurement values. First, the CRIs are sorted in descending order according to the maximum measurement values ​​corresponding to each CRI, namely: CRI 11 (corresponding to L1-RSRP 1 = -50dBm), CRI 8 (corresponding to L1-RSRP 5 = -58dBm), CRI 3 (corresponding to L1-RSRP6 = -62dBm) and CRI 16 (corresponding to L1-RSRP 3 = -72dBm). Since CRI 11 corresponds to 2 measurement values ​​and CRI 8 corresponds to 2 measurement values, the UE reports CRI 11 and CRI 8 and the corresponding 4 measurement values ​​in this report. Or when at least one measurement resource in a resource set is configured with a beam index or QCL parameter (or TCI state), or when the measurement resource corresponding to the CRI / SSBRI reported by the UE is configured with a beam index or QCL parameter (or TCI state), the UE reports 2 or 3 measurement values ​​corresponding to the CRI or SSBRI, and the specific reporting method is similar to the previous description. Even if the network side only configures one beam information for the measurement resource, the UE can also determine the quality of the received signal of the beam information transmitted through different links. For example, if the beam sent by the network side is received by the UE simultaneously through the direct link and RIS forwarding, the UE can use different receiving beams to measure and report the reference signals (measurement resources) sent by the two links.

[0189] The beneficial effects are: the network side can determine the measurement results when multiple beams work together based on the UE's report, and can also obtain the results of each link, so that the network side can determine the appropriate transmission link for the UE; even if the network side only sends one beam, the UE can also determine whether using 1 beam or 2 beams for reception has better performance.

[0190] Option 1-2: The UE reports multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to a CRI / SSBRI according to the configuration on the network side.

[0191] If the network side configures the UE under the reporting settings (such as the high-level parameter CSI-ReportConfig), when reporting, one CRI / SSBRI corresponds to multiple measurement values, and each measurement value corresponds to a reception hypothesis. If the network side configures the UE to report 2 measurement values, one measurement value may correspond to the measurement value of the direct link, and the other measurement value may correspond to the measurement value of the RIS forwarding link. At this time, the UE can use different receive filters to measure the measurement resources. For example, when the measurement resource is configured with a beam information (such as the beam information is the TCI status or QCL parameter of the measurement resource sent by the network side), the UE can use different receive filters to measure the received signal quality in different directions, such as Figure 7 As shown, the UE reports the measurement results of the two receiving directions to the network side. In this case, the network side cannot determine the correspondence between the two measurement results and the receiving link based on the report of the UE. If the network side wants to obtain more accurate measurement results, such as the measurement value of the direct link or the measurement value of the RIS forwarding link, it is necessary to configure more beam information for the UE or use more measurement resources for measurement reporting.

[0192] For another example, when the measurement resource is configured with two beam information, the UE can still use different receive filters for measurement, such as Figure 6 In this case, the two measurement results correspond to the two beam information configured by the network side. The UE determines the reporting content according to the following method:

[0193] Method 1: Do not use differential reporting, for example, each measurement value is quantized using 7 bits; the first measurement value reported corresponds to the first beam information configured on the network side, and the second measurement value reported corresponds to the second beam information configured on the network side. For the definition of the first beam and the second beam, see option 1-1.

[0194] Method 2: Use differential reporting, such as using 7-bit quantization for the maximum measurement value and 4-bit quantization for other measurement values. If one of the CRI / SSBRI measurement values ​​is the largest, and the second beam information of the measurement resource corresponding to the CRI / SSBRI is the largest, then 1 bit needs to be added to the reporting information to indicate whether the maximum measurement value is associated with the first beam information or the second beam information. In this way, the network side can determine the measurement values ​​corresponding to each beam information based on the UE's report.

[0195] These two reporting methods are also applicable to reporting the measurement values ​​corresponding to the two beam information in option 1-1.

[0196] Option 2: The UE reports a measurement value and / or measurement information corresponding to multiple beam information (i.e., reports the better link among the direct transmission link and the RIS forwarding link) according to predefined rules or the configuration or instruction of the network side.

[0197] If the network side configures the UE to report the measurement value of a measurement resource, the UE can use multiple receiving beams (filters) to perform measurements based on one or more beam information configured by the measurement resource, and report the larger L1-RSRP value and the beam information corresponding to the L1-RSRP value to the network side; if the network side configures two beam information for a measurement resource, beam information 1 and beam information 2, the UE uses 1 bit for each CRI / SSBRI to indicate which of the two configured beam information the reported measurement value corresponds to. For example, bit 0 represents beam information 1, and bit 1 represents beam information 2. In this way, the network side can determine which beam information has a better measurement result based on the UE's report, and then determine which link has better quality, the direct transmission link or the RIS forwarding link. Alternatively, the UE uses 2 bits to indicate the beam information corresponding to the reported measurement value for each CRI / SSBRI. For example, bit '00' indicates that the measurement value corresponds to beam information 1, bit '01' indicates that the measurement value corresponds to beam information 2, and bit '10' indicates that the measurement value corresponds to beam information 1 and beam information 2, that is, the measurement value is the result of the joint measurement of the two beam information (that is, the network side uses the direct transmission link and the RIS forwarding link to provide better joint service performance for the UE). In this way, the network side can determine which beam information measurement result is better based on the report of the UE, and then determine which link has better quality, the direct transmission link and / or the RIS forwarding link.

[0198] The beneficial effects are: only part of the measurement results are reported, saving signaling overhead. If the direct link quality is better, the RIS is not scheduled to serve the UE; if the RIS related link quality is better, only the RIS link can be selected for reception, or both the RIS and direct links can be received.

[0199] The terminal can also use a group-based reporting method to report multiple beam information or measurement results corresponding to multiple measurement resources in one measurement report. For example, the measurement resources are divided into 2 groups, such as 2 CSI resource sets, corresponding to 2 links respectively, and the measurement resources in the 2 measurement resource groups can be received by the UE at the same time. The difference from the measurement reporting in the multi-transmission point scenario is that in the multi-transmission point scenario, the UE can arbitrarily select a beam from the 2 groups of measurement resources and receive them at the same time. However, when considering the impact of the direct link, the QCL parameter and the beam index are matched, that is, the beam index is the beam index when a specific QCL parameter (1 or 2) is used on the network side (the measurement result of the gNB-RIS-UE equivalent link includes the impact of one or more QCL parameters sent by the gNB), so the QCL parameters and beam indexes of the two links are not completely independent. Therefore, the configuration or reporting of the measurement resources can be limited under the measurement reporting method in the multi-transmission point scenario.

[0200] That is, in an optional embodiment, the at least one measurement resource is pre-divided into two measurement resource groups; the above step 303, reporting at least one measurement value to the network side device according to the configuration information or the predefined rule, specifically includes:

[0201] When it is determined that the numbers of measurement resources in the two measurement resource groups are equal, reporting two measurement resources with the same number or the same relative position in the two measurement resource groups respectively;

[0202] According to the configuration information corresponding to the two measurement resources or the predefined rule, one or more measurement values ​​of the measurement values ​​corresponding to the two measurement resources are reported to the network side device.

[0203] It should be understood that the number of measurement resources in the two resource measurement groups configured by the network side is equal, and the UE selects one measurement resource for each of the two measurement resource groups for reporting in one report, and the numbers of the two measurement resources in the two measurement resource groups are the same, that is, the CRI / SSBRI values ​​of the two measurement resources are the same. Alternatively, in this case, the relative positions of the measurement resources selected by the UE in the two measurement resource groups are the same, and the UE can report only one CRI / SSBRI for the two measurement resources, that is, the reported CRI / SSBRI is applicable to both measurement resource groups.

[0204] Under this restriction, it can be ensured that the corresponding measurement resources in the two measurement resource groups are associated, for example, the two measurement resources are sent by the same beam of the gNB. The reporting of the measurement value is similar to that of the first embodiment, such as the UE reporting one or more measurement values ​​according to a predefined rule or a configuration on the network side. When two measurement values ​​are reported, each measurement value corresponds to a measurement resource group. When reporting a measurement value, the measurement value can be the result of a joint measurement using all beam information of the two measurement resources, such as the larger one of the measurement values ​​corresponding to the two beams.

[0205] In another optional embodiment, the at least one measurement resource is pre-divided into two measurement resource groups; the above step 303, reporting at least one measurement value to the network side device according to a predefined rule, includes:

[0206] Reporting two measurement resources in the two measurement resource groups that meet the first condition respectively, wherein the first condition is that at least one of the beam information of the two measurement resources has the same beam information configuration;

[0207] Report the measurement values ​​corresponding to the two measurement resources that meet the first condition to the network side device.

[0208] That is, there is no restriction on the configuration of the measurement resources in the two measurement resource groups. When reporting, the UE selects one measurement resource from each of the two measurement resource groups for joint measurement. The two measurement resources in a group of beams reported by the UE meet the following conditions: at least one of the beam information of the two measurement resources is configured the same. For example, one measurement resource is configured with one beam information (such as QCL parameter 5), and the other measurement resource is configured with two beam information (such as QCL parameter 5, beam index 3). Only when the above conditions are met, the UE will report the two measurement resources as a group of beams.

[0209] In another optional embodiment, the at least one measurement resource is pre-divided into two measurement resource groups; the above step 303, reporting at least one measurement value to the network side device according to a predefined rule, includes:

[0210] When it is determined that the number of measurement resources in the two measurement resource groups is equal and the measurement resources are the same, according to the predefined rule, the measurement values ​​corresponding to the same two measurement resources, or the measurement value corresponding to one of the same two measurement resources, are reported to the network side device, and the same two measurement resources belong to the two measurement resource groups respectively.

[0211] That is, the UE expects the configuration of the two measurement resource groups to be the same (i.e., the number of reference signals is the same, and the configured RSs are the same), the CRI / SSBRI values ​​reported by the UE in one report are the same, or the UE only reports one CRI / SSBRI, which is applicable to both measurement resource groups. This embodiment corresponds to the case where the gNB sends one reference signal or beam, or the two-hop links are measured based on the same measurement resources.

[0212] In the above embodiment, the UE is instructed to train two beams at a time, such as Figure 8 , it may not be guaranteed that both receiving beams can be selected appropriately, that is, both receiving beams point to the transmitting beam. Although the reception quality is better than the single-link case, the beamforming gain cannot be maximized. In order to ensure the maximization of the beamforming gain, multiple beam information can be measured in multiple times, that is, in an optional embodiment, the at least one measurement resource is pre-divided into at least two measurement resource groups; the above step 302, based on the beam information of the measurement resource, measures the measurement resource to obtain at least one measurement value corresponding to the measurement resource, including:

[0213] Based on the beam information of the measurement resources, measure the measurement resources in at least one first measurement resource group to determine a first receiving beam;

[0214] The measurement resources in the second measurement resource group are measured using the first receiving beam and the second receiving beam to obtain multiple measurement values ​​corresponding to the measurement resources.

[0215] For example, when two measurement resource groups are configured (the two measurement resource groups can be in the same time slot or different time slots), for the first measurement resource group, the UE uses a single beam to receive and measure and report; for the second measurement resource group, the UE uses multiple beams to receive and measure and report. When receiving the second measurement resource group, the beam trained when measuring the first measurement resource group is used (introducing the association relationship between the measurement resources or their corresponding reports in the two measurement resource groups).

[0216] The measurement resource group may be a CSI resource setting (CSI resource setting), or a CSI resourceset (CSI resource set), or a CSI resource subset (ie, a resource subset under a CSI resource set).

[0217] If repetition is configured as 'OFF', the UE can determine which direction or directions of the receiving beam quality are better based on the first measurement resource group. For example, the UE reports CRI 5, CRI 12, CRI 18, CRI23 for the first measurement resource group, and during the measurement, the UE determines a receiving beam corresponding to the above measurement resources; when the UE measures the second measurement resource group, it only selects the measurement resources with the same beam information as CRI 5, CRI 12, CRI 18, CRI 23 for measurement. The repetition of the second measurement resource group can be 'ON' or 'OFF'. The UE will use the same receiving beam (filter) as when measuring the first measurement resource group, and then determine another receiving beam (filter).

[0218] by Fig. 9 For example, the UE uses beam 1 to measure the first measurement resource group. If the second measurement resource group is configured as 'ON', the UE can train the second receive beam and select another receive beam, such as beam 2 or beam 3. If the second measurement resource is configured as 'OFF', the UE can use another beam (such as beam 2 or beam 3) in addition to beam 1 for reception, and measure the measurement resources with the same beam information as CRI 5, CRI 12, CRI 18, CRI 23 in the first measurement resource group (at least one beam information is the same) again to determine the measurement value of the measurement resource using another receive beam. For example, the first measurement resource group corresponds to the reference signal sent by the gNB, and the second measurement resource group corresponds to the reference signal forwarded by the RIS.

[0219] The first measurement (measurement of the first measurement resource group) is used to narrow the measurement range, and the second measurement is used to measure multiple beam pairs simultaneously.

[0220] Beneficial effect: The measurement of the second measurement resource group is based on the measurement result of the first measurement resource group (such as the receiving beam or receiving filter trained by the terminal), which can make the measurement performance better or the result more accurate compared with using one measurement resource group for measurement. The terminal can jointly perform measurement reporting for the two measurement resource groups.

[0221] For another example, when three measurement resource groups are configured (the three measurement resource groups can be in the same time slot or different time slots), for the first measurement resource group and the second measurement resource group, the UE uses a single beam to receive and measure and report; for the third measurement resource group, the UE uses multiple beams to receive and measure and report. When receiving the third measurement resource group, the beam trained during the measurement of the first and second measurement resource groups is used.

[0222] For example, the reference signals in the three measurement resource groups are the same, and the three measurement resource groups can be resource subgroups composed of CSI-RS resources in the same CSI resource set, or can be three CSI resource sets under a CSI resource setting. The first measurement resource group and the second measurement resource group are configured with repetition = ON, and the UE determines two receiving beams based on the measurements of the two resource groups respectively, and the third measurement resource group is configured with repetition = OFF. When the UE measures the third measurement resource group, it scans the transmitting beam based on the receiving beams used in the measurements of the first two measurement resource groups; or, the first measurement resource group and the second measurement resource group are configured with repetition = OFF, and the UE determines two optimal transmitting beams (corresponding to beam information of one or more measurement resources) based on the measurements of the two resource groups respectively, and the third measurement resource group is configured with repetition = ON. When the UE measures the third measurement resource group, the UE assumes that the beam information of the resources in the third measurement resource group is configured as the optimal beam information in the measurements of the first two measurement resource groups. To achieve this goal, different measurement resource groups can correspond to different reporting settings. For example, the UE first reports the optimal beam information (CRI / SSBRI and measurement value) according to the first two measurement resource groups. After receiving the UE reported value, the gNB configures the beam information of the third measurement resource group, or directly applies the optimal beam information reported by the UE to the third measurement resource group, thereby reducing the signaling overhead and delay caused by the configuration process.

[0223] It should be noted that the measurement reporting method provided by the present invention is not only applicable to RIS systems, but also to relay systems, NCR systems, and conventional single-hop (gNB-UE communication) systems with multiple beams.

[0224] like Fig.10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a terminal, including: a memory 1020, a transceiver 1000, and a processor 1010: the memory 1020 is used to store program instructions; the transceiver 1000 is used to send and receive data under the control of the processor 1010; the processor 1010 is used to read the program instructions in the memory 1020 and perform the following operations:

[0227] According to the configuration information or predefined rules, at least one measurement value is reported to the network side device through the transceiver 1000.
