Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, chip, and medium for reporting power margin. Background Technology

[0002] The current power margin reporting mechanism is as follows: when a terminal device receives an uplink authorization instruction, it reports the actual power margin for each cell it is connected to if the current timeslot of the terminal device in the cell is an uplink timeslot; otherwise, it reports the virtual power margin.

[0003] In the above scheme, the virtual power margin reported by the terminal device is limited. That is, when the virtual power margin is greater than the preset margin threshold, only the margin threshold is reported, which results in insufficient resource blocks scheduled by the network device based on the power margin reported by the terminal device, affecting the transmission rate of the terminal device.

[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0041] The current power margin reporting mechanism is as follows: when a terminal device receives an uplink authorization instruction, it reports the actual power margin for each cell it is connected to if the current timeslot of the terminal device in the cell is an uplink timeslot; otherwise, it reports the virtual power margin.

[0042] In the above scheme, the virtual power margin reported by the terminal device is limited. That is, when the virtual power margin is greater than the preset margin threshold, only the margin threshold is reported, which results in insufficient resource blocks scheduled by the network device based on the power margin reported by the terminal device, affecting the transmission rate of the terminal device.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a power margin reporting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the power margin reporting method of this embodiment can be applied to a power margin reporting device, which can be configured in an electronic device or chip to enable the electronic device or chip to perform the power margin reporting function.

[0044] Among them, electronic devices can be any device with computing capabilities, such as personal computers (PCs), mobile terminals, terminal devices, servers, etc. Mobile terminals can be, for example, in-vehicle devices, mobile phones, tablets, personal digital assistants, wearable devices, and other hardware devices with various operating systems, touch screens, and / or displays.

[0045] In addition, the power margin reporting device can also be software in electronic devices. For example, software could be power margin reporting software. The following embodiments will use a terminal device as an example for explanation.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 101: Receive uplink authorization instruction; the uplink authorization instruction is sent from the network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device to the terminal device.

[0048] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the uplink authorization indication can be indication information sent by the network device to the terminal device, used to indicate which uplink resources the terminal device can use for uplink data transmission. For example, the uplink authorization indication can indicate the number of resource blocks allocated by the network device to the terminal device.

[0049] It should be noted that a terminal device can connect to multiple cells; for each cell, the uplink resources when the terminal device communicates with the network device corresponding to that cell can be indicated by that network device.

[0050] It should be noted that a network device can cover multiple cells. To facilitate differentiation, the uplink authorization instruction can carry a cell identifier. Based on the cell identifier, it can be determined which cell the uplink resources allocated by the network device are for. The network device covers multiple neighboring cells, while the terminal device can connect to multiple adjacent cells. This explanation uses the example of multiple cells connected to the terminal device corresponding to the same network device.

[0051] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when a terminal device receives an uplink grant instruction from a network device for one of the cells, it can report the power margins of multiple cells, enabling the network device to allocate uplink resources for multiple cells based on the reported power margins of multiple cells.

[0052] Step 102: When the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit and the power margin reporting mechanism is triggered, the target time slot is determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device; the target time slot of the multiple cells is the uplink time slot.

[0053] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the process by which the terminal device determines whether it has an excessive virtual power margin can be, for example, by determining the reference virtual power margin of the terminal device for each path loss value within a preset path loss range; and determining that the terminal device has an excessive virtual power margin if there is a reference virtual power margin greater than a preset margin threshold. For example, when the path loss value is less than 82dB, there may be a situation where the reference virtual power margin is greater than the preset margin threshold.

[0054] The reference virtual power margin of the terminal equipment in terms of path loss value can be determined by combining the path loss value and the control parameters of the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) transmit power.

[0055] It should be noted that if a reference virtual power margin is greater than a preset margin threshold, the virtual power margin calculated based on the actual path loss may also exceed the preset margin threshold. This could cause the terminal device to only report the preset margin threshold and not the calculated virtual power margin, potentially resulting in insufficient allocated uplink resources. Therefore, determining whether a terminal device has an excessive virtual power margin based on the reference power margin can improve the accuracy of this determination.

[0056] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the target time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots, the terminal device can calculate and report the actual power margin for each of the multiple cells. Since the actual power margin is calculated based on multiple allocated resource blocks, the calculated actual power margin is relatively small; while the virtual power margin is calculated based on the assumption of allocating only a single resource block, the calculated virtual power margin is relatively large. Therefore, the actual power margin is much smaller than the virtual power margin, and there is no situation where the actual power margin exceeds a preset margin threshold, which can avoid the situation where insufficient uplink resources are allocated subsequently.

[0057] The target time slot can be the current time slot; or, the target time slot can be a time slot following the current time slot.

[0058] The actual power margin can be determined by considering factors such as the uplink grant type, the configuration of the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) where the allocated resource blocks reside, and the number of allocated resource blocks.

[0059] Step 103: Determine the actual power margin of terminal devices in multiple cells in the target time slot.

[0060] Step 104: Report and process multiple actual power margins.

[0061] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device may also perform the following process: if the target time slot is not determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device, determine multiple power margins to be reported by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells; and perform reporting processing on the multiple power margins.

[0062] Specifically, the process by which the terminal device determines the multiple power margins to be reported by combining the time slot configurations of multiple cells can be as follows: For each cell connected to the terminal device, based on the cell's time slot configuration, determine whether the current time slot of the terminal device in the cell is an uplink time slot; if the current time slot is an uplink time slot, determine the actual power margin of the terminal device in the cell; or, if the current time slot is a downlink time slot, determine the virtual power margin of the terminal device in the cell; and determine the actual power margin or virtual power margin of the terminal device in multiple cells in the current time slot as the power margin to be reported.

[0063] In the power margin reporting method of this disclosure embodiment, an uplink grant instruction is received; the uplink grant instruction is sent from the network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device to the terminal device; when the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit and triggers the power margin reporting mechanism, a target time slot is determined by combining the time slot configuration of multiple cells connected to the terminal device; the target time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots; the actual power margin of the terminal device in multiple cells is determined in the target time slot; and the multiple actual power margins are reported; wherein, reporting the actual power margin of the terminal device in the target time slot can avoid reporting the virtual power margin of the terminal device in the target time slot, thereby reporting accurate power margin, and ensuring that the network device schedules sufficient resource blocks for the terminal device, thereby improving the transmission rate of the terminal device.

[0064] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a power margin reporting method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the power margin reporting method of this embodiment can be applied to a power margin reporting device, which can be configured in an electronic device or chip to enable the electronic device or chip to perform the power margin reporting function.

[0065] Among them, electronic devices can be any device with computing capabilities, such as personal computers (PCs), mobile terminals, terminal devices, servers, controllers in vehicles, etc. Mobile terminals can be, for example, in-vehicle devices, mobile phones, tablets, personal digital assistants, wearable devices, and other hardware devices with various operating systems, touch screens, and / or displays.

[0066] In addition, the power margin reporting device can also be software in electronic devices. For example, software could be power margin reporting software. The following embodiments will use a terminal device as an example for explanation.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0068] Step 201: Receive uplink authorization instruction; the uplink authorization instruction is sent from the network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device to the terminal device.

[0069] Step 202: When the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit and the power margin reporting mechanism is triggered, for each cell connected to the terminal device, determine whether each time slot of the cell is an uplink time slot according to the time slot configuration of the cell.

[0070] Step 203: For each time slot in each time slot, if the time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots, determine the time slot as a candidate time slot.

[0071] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the terminal device calculates the actual power margin, the resource blocks used in the allocated resource blocks are uplink resource blocks. However, when the time slot is a downlink time slot, the allocated resource blocks are also downlink resource blocks, which are difficult to use for calculating the actual power margin and can only be used for calculating the virtual power margin. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine whether each time slot of the cell is an uplink time slot, and then determine the time slot as a candidate time slot when the time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots.

[0072] Furthermore, to ensure the subsequent calculation of actual power margin, in addition to determining that the time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots, it is also necessary to determine whether resource blocks are allocated to the time slots of multiple cells. If resource blocks are allocated, they are uplink resource blocks, ensuring that the subsequent calculation of actual power margin can be performed. Correspondingly, the process of the terminal device executing step 203 can be, for example, as follows: for each time slot in each time slot, if the time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots and all are allocated resource blocks, the time slot is determined as a candidate time slot.

[0073] Step 204: If the number of time slots between the candidate time slot and the current time slot of the terminal device is less than or equal to the first quantity threshold, the candidate time slot is determined as the target time slot.

[0074] In order to ensure timely and rapid reporting of power margin and avoid lag in power margin reporting, the terminal equipment needs to ensure that the number of time slots between the target time slot and the current time slot is less than or equal to the first quantity threshold.

[0075] Specifically, the terminal device can also perform the following process: if the number of time slots between the candidate time slot and the current time slot of the terminal device is greater than a first number threshold, stop determining the candidate time slot as the target time slot.

[0076] In addition, when there are multiple target time slots, the number of time slot intervals between each target time slot and the current time slot can be determined; the target time slot with the smallest number of time slot intervals is retained, while the other target time slots are ignored.

[0077] Step 205: Determine the actual power margin of terminal devices in multiple cells in the target time slot.

[0078] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the process of the terminal device executing step 205 may, for example, be to determine the actual power margin of the terminal device in the target time slot for each of the multiple cells based on the uplink grant type and the number of allocated resource blocks in the target time slot.

[0079] Step 206: Report and process multiple actual power margins.

[0080] It should be noted that detailed explanations of steps 201, 205, and 206 can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 1 Steps 101, 103, and 104 in the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0081] In the power margin reporting method of this embodiment, an uplink grant instruction is received. This uplink grant instruction is sent from the network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device to the terminal device. If the terminal device experiences a virtual power margin exceeding its limit and triggers the power margin reporting mechanism, for each cell connected to the terminal device, based on the cell's time slot configuration, it is determined whether each time slot of the cell is an uplink time slot. For each time slot, if multiple cells' time slots are all uplink time slots, the time slot is determined as a candidate time slot. The interval between the candidate time slot and the terminal device's current time slot is... If the number of time slots is less than or equal to a first threshold, the candidate time slot is determined as the target time slot; the actual power margin of the terminal equipment in multiple cells is determined on the target time slot; the multiple actual power margins are reported; wherein, if the time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots, and the number of time slots between the time slot and the current time slot of the terminal equipment is less than or equal to the first threshold, the time slot is determined as the target time slot, which can further ensure the reporting of the actual power margin on the target time slot, thereby ensuring that the network equipment schedules sufficient resource blocks for the terminal equipment, thereby improving the transmission rate of the terminal equipment.

[0082] Figure 3This is a flowchart illustrating a power margin reporting method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the power margin reporting method of this embodiment can be applied to a power margin reporting device, which can be configured in an electronic device or chip to enable the electronic device or chip to perform the power margin reporting function.

[0083] Among them, electronic devices can be any device with computing capabilities, such as personal computers (PCs), mobile terminals, terminal devices, servers, controllers in vehicles, etc. Mobile terminals can be, for example, in-vehicle devices, mobile phones, tablets, personal digital assistants, wearable devices, and other hardware devices with various operating systems, touch screens, and / or displays.

[0084] In addition, the power margin reporting device can also be software in electronic devices. For example, software could be power margin reporting software. The following embodiments will use a terminal device as an example for explanation.

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0086] Step 301: Receive uplink authorization instruction; the uplink authorization instruction is sent from the network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device to the terminal device.

[0087] Step 302: When the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit and the power margin reporting mechanism is triggered, the target time slot is determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device; the target time slot of the multiple cells is the uplink time slot.

[0088] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device may further perform the following process: If the terminal device does not have a virtual power margin exceeding the limit, it determines multiple power margins to be reported by combining the time slot configurations of multiple cells. Among these multiple power margins to be reported, some may be virtual power margins and some may be actual power margins.

[0089] In addition, if the terminal device does not trigger the power margin reporting mechanism, the terminal device can stop the power margin reporting process.

[0090] Step 303: If the target time slot is not determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device, determine the multiple actual power margins to be reported by combining the multiple historical power margins reported on each historical time slot.

[0091] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the process of the terminal device executing step 303 may be as follows: for each historical time slot, if the multiple historical power margins reported on the historical time slot are all historical actual power margins, determine the number of time slot intervals between the historical time slot and the current time slot of the terminal device; if the number of time slot intervals is less than or equal to a second quantity threshold, determine the multiple historical actual power margins reported on the historical time slot as multiple actual power margins to be reported.

[0092] In cases where the target time slot cannot be determined by considering the time slot configurations of multiple cells connected to the terminal device, it indicates that virtual power margins may be reported in subsequent time slots, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy of subsequent uplink resource allocation. However, by using the historical actual power margins of each time slot that reports historical actual power margins as the actual power margin for the current time slot, the reporting of virtual power margins can be avoided, thus ensuring the accuracy of subsequent uplink resource allocation.

[0093] Step 304: If the target time slot is not determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device, and the multiple actual power margins to be reported are not determined by combining the multiple historical power margins reported on each historical time slot, then the multiple power margins to be reported are determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells.

[0094] The actual process by which the terminal device determines the multiple power margins to be reported by combining the time slot configurations of multiple cells can be referenced. Figure 1 The descriptions in the illustrated embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0095] Step 305: Report multiple power margins.

[0096] It should be noted that the resource block scheduling comparison diagram based on actual power margin and resource block scheduling based on virtual power margin can be shown as follows: Figure 4 As shown. In Figure 4 In the diagram, PL-RB Alloc represents the relationship between path loss and scheduled resource blocks, i.e., the scheduling of resource blocks under various path loss conditions. Here, PL represents path loss, and RB represents resource blocks.

[0097] It should be noted that for detailed explanations of steps 301 and 302, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 Steps 101 and 102 in the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0098] In the power margin reporting method of this disclosure embodiment, an uplink grant instruction is received; the uplink grant instruction is sent from the network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device to the terminal device; if the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit and triggers the power margin reporting mechanism, a target time slot is determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device; the target time slots of the multiple cells are all uplink time slots; if the target time slot is not determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device, multiple actual power margins to be reported are determined by combining the multiple historical power margins reported in each historical time slot; the power margins to be reported are determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device. When the target time slot is not yet determined, and the multiple historical power margins reported in each historical time slot are not yet determined, the multiple power margins to be reported are determined by combining the time slot configurations of multiple cells; the multiple power margins are then reported. In particular, when the target time slot is not determined by combining the time slot configurations of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device, the multiple actual power margins to be reported are determined by combining the multiple historical power margins reported in each historical time slot. This can further avoid the reporting of virtual power margins, thereby enabling the reporting of accurate power margins. This ensures that the network device schedules sufficient resource blocks for the terminal device, thereby improving the transmission rate of the terminal device.

[0099] The following example illustrates this. For example... Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates the reporting of power margin. Figure 5 In this process, the terminal device can perform the following steps. Step 501: Determine whether the NW configuration (network configuration) causes the virtual PH of the good point to exceed the reporting limit (i.e., whether the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit); if yes, proceed to step 502; if no, proceed to step 507. Step 502: Determine if there is a triggered PHR (i.e., triggered power margin reporting mechanism) in the carrier aggregation scenario. Step 503: If an uplink grant (i.e., uplink grant indication) is received, determine whether the time slot configurations of the primary and secondary cells are different; if the same, proceed to step 505; if different, proceed to step 504. Step 504: Determine whether the transmission time slot of the uplink grant indication is an uplink time slot for both the primary and secondary cells (each cell connected to the terminal device); if yes, proceed to step 505; if no, proceed to step 503. Step 505: Confirm the PH type of the primary and secondary cells (i.e., confirm the actual power margin to be reported). Step 506: Calculate the PH and report the PHR (calculate the actual power margin and perform reporting processing). Step 507, normal PHR process (i.e., combining the time slot configurations of multiple cells, determining multiple power margins to be reported, and performing reporting processing).

[0100] Figure 6This is a flowchart illustrating a power margin receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the power margin receiving method of this embodiment can be applied to a power margin receiving device, which can be configured in an electronic device or chip to enable the electronic device or chip to perform the power margin receiving function.

[0101] Among them, electronic devices can be any device with computing capabilities, such as personal computers (PCs), mobile terminals, terminal devices, servers, etc. Mobile terminals can be, for example, in-vehicle devices, mobile phones, tablets, personal digital assistants, wearable devices, and other hardware devices with various operating systems, touch screens, and / or displays.

[0102] Alternatively, the power margin receiving device can also be software within an electronic device. Examples of such software include power margin receiving software. The following embodiments will use a network device as an example for explanation.

[0103] like Figure 6 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0104] Step 601: Send an uplink authorization instruction to the terminal device; the network devices corresponding to the multiple cells connected to the terminal device include the network device that sends the uplink authorization instruction.

[0105] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the uplink authorization indication can be indication information sent by the network device to the terminal device, used to indicate which uplink resources the terminal device can use for uplink data transmission. For example, the uplink authorization indication can indicate the number of resource blocks allocated by the network device to the terminal device.

[0106] It should be noted that a network device can cover multiple cells. To facilitate differentiation, the uplink authorization instruction can carry a cell identifier. Based on the cell identifier, it can be determined which cell the uplink resources allocated by the network device are for. The network device covers multiple neighboring cells, while the terminal device can connect to multiple adjacent cells. This explanation uses the example of multiple cells connected to the terminal device corresponding to the same network device.

[0107] Step 602: Receive multiple actual power margins reported by the terminal device; the multiple actual power margins are the actual power margins to be reported in the target time slot; the target time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots; or, the multiple actual power margins are the actual power margins to be reported in the current time slot; the actual power margins to be reported in the current time slot are determined by combining the multiple historical power margins reported by the terminal device in each historical time slot.

[0108] In one example of this disclosure, multiple actual power margins are actual power margins to be reported on the target time slot; the target time slots of multiple cells are all uplink time slots.

[0109] The number of time slots between the target time slot and the current time slot in which the network device issues the uplink authorization instruction can be less than or equal to the first quantity threshold.

[0110] In another example, multiple actual power margins are the actual power margins to be reported in the current time slot; the actual power margins to be reported in the current time slot are determined by combining multiple historical power margins reported by terminal devices in each historical time slot.

[0111] Specifically, the actual power margin to be reported in the current time slot can be multiple historical power margins reported by the terminal device in a certain historical time slot. The number of time slots between the historical time slot and the current time slot can be less than or equal to the second quantity threshold.

[0112] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after step 602, the network device may also perform the following process: combining the multiple actual power margins reported by the terminal device, the terminal device performs resource block allocation processing in multiple cells.

[0113] In the power margin receiving method of this disclosure embodiment, an uplink grant instruction is sent to a terminal device; the network devices corresponding to the multiple cells connected to the terminal device include the network device that sent the uplink grant instruction; multiple actual power margins reported by the terminal device are received; the multiple actual power margins are the actual power margins to be reported in the target time slot; the target time slots of the multiple cells are all uplink time slots; or, the multiple actual power margins are the actual power margins to be reported in the current time slot; the actual power margins to be reported in the current time slot are determined by combining the multiple historical power margins reported by the terminal device in each historical time slot; wherein, the reception of multiple actual power margins avoids the reception of virtual power margins, thereby enabling the reception of accurate power margins, and thus ensuring that the network device schedules sufficient resource blocks for the terminal device.

[0114] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the power margin reporting device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0115] like Figure 7 As shown, the power margin reporting device may include: a receiving module 701, a first determining module 702, a second determining module 703, and a reporting module 704.

[0116] The receiving module 701 is used to receive an uplink authorization instruction, which is sent to the terminal device by a network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device. The first determining module 702 is used to determine a target time slot based on the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device when the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit and triggers the power margin reporting mechanism. The target time slots of the multiple cells are all uplink time slots. The second determining module 703 is also used to determine the actual power margin of the terminal device in the multiple cells on the target time slot. The reporting module 704 is also used to report the multiple actual power margins.

[0117] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the device further includes: a third determining module and a fourth determining module; the third determining module is used to determine the reference virtual power margin of the terminal device for each path loss value within a preset path loss range; the fourth determining module is used to determine that the terminal device has an excessive virtual power margin when there is a reference virtual power margin greater than a preset margin threshold.

[0118] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first determining module is specifically configured to: for each cell connected to the terminal device, determine whether each time slot of the cell is an uplink time slot according to the time slot configuration of the cell; for each time slot, if the time slots of the plurality of cells are all uplink time slots, determine the time slot as a candidate time slot; and if the number of time slot intervals between the candidate time slot and the current time slot of the terminal device is less than or equal to a first number threshold, determine the candidate time slot as the target time slot.

[0119] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the apparatus further includes: a fifth determining module, configured to determine multiple actual power margins to be reported, in the case that the target time slot has not been determined by combining the time slot configuration of multiple cells connected to the terminal device, and in combination with multiple historical power margins reported on each historical time slot.

[0120] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the fifth determining module is specifically used to: for each historical time slot, if the multiple historical power margins reported on the historical time slot are all historical actual power margins, determine the number of interval time slots between the historical time slot and the current time slot of the terminal device; if the number of interval time slots is less than or equal to a second quantity threshold, determine the multiple historical actual power margins reported on the historical time slot as multiple actual power margins to be reported.

[0121] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the apparatus further includes: a sixth determining module, configured to determine multiple power margins to be reported in conjunction with the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device when the target time slot has not been determined in conjunction with the multiple historical power margins reported on each historical time slot and multiple actual power margins to be reported have not been determined in conjunction with the multiple historical power margins reported on each historical time slot; or, in the case that the terminal device does not have a virtual power margin exceeding the limit, to determine multiple power margins to be reported in conjunction with the time slot configuration of the multiple cells; the reporting module is further configured to perform reporting processing on the multiple power margins.

[0122] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the sixth determining module is specifically configured to, for each cell connected to the terminal device, determine whether the current time slot of the terminal device in the cell is an uplink time slot according to the time slot configuration of the cell; if the current time slot is an uplink time slot, determine the actual power margin of the terminal device in the cell; or, if the current time slot is a downlink time slot, determine the virtual power margin of the terminal device in the cell; and determine the actual power margin or virtual power margin of the terminal device in the multiple cells in the current time slot as the power margin to be reported.

[0123] In the power margin reporting device of this embodiment, an uplink grant instruction is received. The uplink grant instruction is sent to the terminal device by the network device corresponding to any cell connected to the terminal device. When the terminal device has a virtual power margin exceeding the limit and triggers the power margin reporting mechanism, a target time slot is determined by combining the time slot configuration of the multiple cells connected to the terminal device. The target time slots of the multiple cells are all uplink time slots. The actual power margin of the terminal device in the multiple cells is determined in the target time slot. The multiple actual power margins are reported. In this way, reporting the actual power margin of the terminal device in the target time slot can avoid reporting the virtual power margin of the terminal device in the target time slot, thereby reporting accurate power margin, ensuring that the network device schedules sufficient resource blocks for the terminal device, thereby improving the transmission rate of the terminal device.
