[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular, to a measurement method, a terminal, a communication system, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of mobile networks, future 5G (the 5th generation mobile communication technology) networks gradually evolve into 5G+ networks and 6G (the 6th generation mobile communication technology) networks. The bandwidth of a single carrier or a single frequency band in a low frequency band is limited, which limits the capacity. The carrier aggregation technology can solve the problem of limited bandwidth of a single frequency band. Common frequency band combinations of networks include low frequency 900M+800M CA, medium and low frequency 3.5G+2.1G CA, 2.1G+1.8G CA, millimeter wave 26G+28G CA, 26G+39G CA, etc. Using the carrier aggregation technology, multiple frequency bands are aggregated to take advantage of the bandwidth and coverage of multiple frequency bands and improve the flexibility of using multiple frequency bands.

[0003] For the activation of an unknown secondary cell in carrier aggregation, many processes are involved, including automatic gain control, cell search, physical layer measurement, etc. SUMMARY

[0004] The inventors have found that because the secondary cell activation process involves many processes, the latency is too large. Therefore, how to reduce the latency of the secondary cell activation process is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0005] One technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is how to reduce the latency of the secondary cell activation process.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a measurement method is provided, which is performed by a terminal and includes: in a secondary cell activation process, performing layer one reference signal received power measurement according to a reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient, wherein the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient is less than a configured maximum number of receive beams.

[0008] In some embodiments, performing layer one reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient includes: after performing a layer three partial correlation process, performing layer one reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient.

[0011] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: reporting the supported receive beam sweeping factor to the base station in a form of enumerated values or a form of a value range, wherein the form of enumerated values comprises enumerating one or more values.

[0012] In some embodiments, performing the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor after performing the layer 3 partial related procedure comprises: in a case that the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement is a reference signal received power measurement based on a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB), and a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB) has been measured in the layer 3 partial related procedure, performing the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor after performing the layer 3 partial related procedure.

[0013] In some embodiments, performing the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor after performing the layer 3 partial related procedure comprises: in a case that the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement is a reference signal received power measurement based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB) in the layer 3 partial related procedure has a quasi co-location type D relationship with the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), performing the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor after performing the layer 3 partial related procedure.

[0014] According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal is provided, comprising: a layer 1 measurement module configured to perform a layer 1 reference signal received power measurement according to a reduced receive beam sweeping factor in a secondary cell activation procedure, wherein the reduced receive beam sweeping factor is less than a configured maximum number of receive beams.

[0015] According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal is provided, comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the measurement method of any of the preceding embodiments.

[0018] In the present disclosure, the terminal performs layer one reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor in the secondary cell activation procedure. Since the time delay of the secondary cell activation procedure is positively correlated with the receive beam sweeping factor, the reduced receive beam sweeping factor can reduce the time delay of the secondary cell activation procedure.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. The description of the following at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative, but not as any limitation on the present disclosure and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0028] The present disclosure proposes a measurement method, which will be described below in combination with Figures 1-2 .

[0029] Figure 1 The flowchart of some embodiments of the measurement method of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the method of this embodiment, performed by a terminal, includes steps S102-S104. Figure 1

[0030] In step S102, during the secondary cell activation process, the Layer 3 part related procedure is performed.

[0031] Layer 3 (L3) is the RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer. During the secondary cell (SCell) activation process, the Layer 3 part related procedure (L3Part Related Procedure) can be performed first. For example, the secondary cell activation process includes: automatic gain control (AGC) adjustment, cell search and time-frequency tracking and beam information acquisition, Layer 1 reference signal received power measurement (L1-RSRP Measurement), Layer 1 reference signal received power reporting, transmission configuration indication activation, fine time tracking, etc. The automatic gain control adjustment, cell search and time-frequency tracking and beam information acquisition belong to the Layer 3 part related procedure, and the other processes are the Layer 1 part related procedure.

[0032] In the standard, the unknown secondary cell activation delay is defined as: 6ms+T FirstSSB_MAX +15*T SMTC_MAX +8*T rs +T L1-RSRP,measure +T L1-RSRP,report +T HARQ +max(T uncertainty_MAC +T FineTiming +2ms,T uncertainty_SP ) when the primary and secondary cell configuration is FR1-FR2-1 CA or the primary and secondary cell is an FR2-1 band pair and has independent beam management, and a semi-persistent CSI-RS is configured for CSI reporting​

[0033] wherein T FirstSSB_MAX is the time after slot n + (T HARQ + 3 ms) / slot length and lasting until the end of the first complete SSB burst, or 5 ms if SMTC is not configured. T SMTC_MAX is the longer SMTC period between the activated SCell and the activated serving cell. T rs is the SMTC period of the activated SCell or T rs is set to 5 ms. T L1-RSRP，measure is the L1-RSRP measurement latency. T L1-RSRP，report is the latency to acquire CSI reporting resources. T uncertainty_MAC is the time period from the first valid L1-RSRP report until the terminal (UE) receives the last of the activation commands for PDCCH TCI, PDSCH TCI. T FineTiming is the time period from the terminal completing the processing of the last of the activation commands for PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) TCI (Transmission Configuration Indicator) and PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) TCI until the time of the first complete available SSB corresponding to the TCI (PDCCH TCI or PDSCH TCI) state. T uncertainty_SP is the time period from the first valid L1-RSRP report until the reception of the activation command for activating the set of semi-persistent CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal) resources for performing CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) reporting. The specific definitions of the various parameters in the above formulae can be referred to the existing standards, which are not described herein again.

[0034] T FirstSSB_MAX + 15 * T SMTC_MAX is the latency for the automatic gain control adjustment procedure, 8 * Trs T is the latency for the cell search and time-frequency tracking and beam information acquisition procedure, which belongs to the layer 3 related procedure. L1-RSRP,measure T is the latency for the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement procedure. L1-RSRP,report T is the latency for the layer 1 reference signal received power reporting procedure. HARQ + max(T uncertainty_MAC + T FineTiming + 2ms, T uncertainty_SP T is the latency for the transmission configuration indication activation, fine time tracking, and the like procedure, which belongs to the layer 1 related procedure.

[0035] The layer 3 related procedure performed can be a non-enhanced layer 3 related procedure or an enhanced layer 3 related procedure. The receive beam sweeping factor used in the enhanced layer 3 related procedure is smaller than the receive beam sweeping factor used in the non-enhanced layer 3 related procedure. For example, the receive beam sweeping factor used in the enhanced layer 3 related procedure is an integer smaller than 8. As shown in the above formula, the 8 in 8*Trs represents the receive beam sweeping factor. The standard defines that the receive beam sweeping factor of 8 corresponds to the non-enhanced layer 3 related procedure. The enhanced layer 3 related procedure uses a receive beam sweeping factor smaller than 8, which can reduce the latency of the layer 3 related procedure and thus reduce the latency of the secondary cell activation procedure.

[0036] In step S104, the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement is performed according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor.

[0037] Performing the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor is an enhancement to the existing layer 1 reference signal received power measurement.

[0038] In some embodiments, the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement is performed according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor in the case that the terminal has the capability to support the reduced receive beam sweeping factor. If the terminal does not have the capability to support the reduced receive beam sweeping factor, the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement is performed according to the receive beam sweeping factor defined in the standard.

[0039] In some embodiments, the reduced receive beam sweeping factor is smaller than the maximum number of receive beams configured. The reduced receive beam sweeping factor is an integer smaller than 8, i.e., the maximum number of receive beams can be 8. In some embodiments, the reduced receive beam sweeping factor is 0 or the reduced receive beam sweeping factor is an integer greater than 0 and smaller than 8. The reduced receive beam sweeping factor of 0 means that the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement is skipped (not performed). The latency of the secondary cell activation does not include the layer 1 reference signal received power measurement part.

[0040] As the above formula, T L1-RSRP,measure is the time delay of the layer one reference signal received power measurement procedure, T L1-RSRP,measure has a positive correlation with the receive beam sweeping coefficient, which can be referred to the existing standard. By reducing the receive beam sweeping coefficient, T L1-RSRP,measure , thereby reducing the time delay of the secondary cell activation procedure.

[0041] In some embodiments, the layer one reference signal received power measurement is performed in frequency range 2 (FR2).

[0042] In some embodiments, in the case that the layer one reference signal received power measurement is SSB-based reference signal received power measurement and the SSB has been measured in the layer three part-related procedure, after the layer three part-related procedure is performed, the layer one reference signal received power measurement is performed according to the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient.

[0043] In some embodiments, in the case that the layer one reference signal received power measurement is CSI-RS-based reference signal received power measurement and the SSB and the CSI-RS have QCL (Quasi Co-Location) TypeD relationship in the layer three part-related procedure, after the layer three part-related procedure is performed, the layer one reference signal received power measurement is performed according to the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient.

[0044] The QCL TypeD relationship describes the spatial receiver parameter, which refers to the beamforming characteristics of the downlink received signal, such as the main arrival angle, the average arrival angle and other parameters, which can be understood as the beam information quasi co-location, that is, having similar beam information. For the CSI-RS-based layer one reference signal received power measurement, the CSI-RS configured for the layer one reference signal received power measurement has QCL TypeD relationship with the reference signal (SSB) used in the layer three part-related procedure, that is, the layer one CSI-RS and the layer three SSB have quasi co-located spatial receiver parameters, that is, have similar beam information.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the CSI-RS resource type is configured as periodic CSI-RS resources or semi-persistent CSI-RS resources, and when the high layer parameter repetition corresponding to the resource set to which the CSI-RS resource belongs is set to ON, the terminal performs receive beam sweeping using a receive beam sweeping coefficient less than 8. When the high layer parameter repetition corresponding to a resource set is set to ON, the terminal assumes that multiple CSI-RS resources in the resource set are transmitted using the same downlink spatial domain transmission filter, that is, the multiple CSI-RS resources in the resource set are used for measurement of the same beam.

[0046] The above embodiments describe the relationship between the layer one reference signal and the layer three reference signal, which is more suitable for the case where the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient is 0. For the case where the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient is greater than 0 and less than 8, the relationship between the layer one reference signal and the layer three reference signal can not be limited.

[0047] In some embodiments, the number and width of the receive beams are determined according to the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient. The receive beams are configured to measure the reference signal received power according to the number and width of the receive beams.

[0048] With the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient, the width of the receive beam can be wider. For example, when the maximum number of receive beams is 8, and the terminal uses a reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient of 4, that is, 4 receive beams are used for measurement. Using 8 receive beams for measurement covers a 360-degree range, and using 4 receive beams for measurement can also cover a 360-degree range, that is, the width of the receive beam is increased. The terminal can determine the number of receive beams and the width of the beam according to its own capability.

[0049] The method of the above embodiments, the terminal performs layer one reference signal received power measurement during the secondary cell activation process according to the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient. Since the time delay of the secondary cell activation process is positively related to the receive beam sweeping coefficient, the reduced receive beam sweeping coefficient can reduce the time delay of the secondary cell activation process, and can reduce the energy consumption of the terminal and improve the user experience.

[0050] Figure 2 Flowchart of another embodiment of the method for measuring the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the method of this embodiment, executed by the terminal, includes steps S202-S208. Figure 2

[0051] In step S202, the terminal reports terminal capability information to the base station.

[0052] The terminal capability information includes: the receive beam sweeping factor supported by the terminal. The terminal can report the supported receive beam sweeping factor to the base station in the form of an enumerated value or in the form of a value range.

[0053] For example, the enumerated value form is {2, 4, 6} or {1, 2, 4, 6} or {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} or other possible combinations of integers less than 8. The value range form is, for example, to define the maximum receive beam sweeping factor as 8, and the reduced receive beam sweeping factor as a range less than the maximum receive beam sweeping factor.

[0054] The base station can instruct the terminal to report the supported receive beam sweeping factor, or the terminal can actively report the supported receive beam sweeping factor. The base station configures the corresponding transmission beam and the like according to the receive beam sweeping factor supported by the terminal. If the receive beam sweeping factor supported by the terminal contains multiple values, the base station can determine a value to send to the terminal, or the terminal can select a value and report it again or not.

[0055] In step S204, during the secondary cell activation process, the layer three part related procedures are executed.

[0056] In step S206, according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor, the layer one reference signal received power measurement is executed.

[0057] The terminal can determine a value from the reported supported receive beam sweeping factor as the reduced receive beam sweeping factor.

[0058] In step S208, the layer one reference signal received power report and subsequent procedures are executed.

[0059] For example, the terminal executes the layer one reference signal received power report, the transmission configuration indication activation, the fine time tracking, and the like, to complete the secondary cell activation.

[0060] The method of the above embodiment, the terminal reports the supported receive beam sweeping factor, the base station can make corresponding configuration, and the terminal executes the layer one reference signal received power measurement according to the reduced receive beam sweeping factor during the secondary cell activation process, which reduces the time delay of the secondary cell activation process and reduces the energy consumption of the terminal. ​
