Depending on the context, for example, the word "if" used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0060] First, several technical points involved in this application are briefly introduced:

[0061] Layer 1 (L1) Measurement

[0062] L1 refers to the physical layer (Physical Layer, PHY). Schematically, the type of L1 measurement includes at least one of the following:

[0063] Radio Link Monitoring (RLM);

[0064] Candidate Beam Detection (CBD);

[0065] Beam Failure Detection (BFD);

[0066] Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP);

[0067] Layer 1 Signal-to-Interference-and-Noise Ratio (L1-SINR)

[0068] L1 measurement can be based on synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block, SSB) or channel state information reference signal (Channel-Slate Information Reference Symbol, CSI-RS) resources.

[0069] The L1 measurement time in traditional terrestrial networks (TN) is based on the following three basic assumptions:

[0070] 1) L1 measurement should be kept outside the measurement gap (MG) as much as possible;

[0071] 2) Frequency Range 1 (FR1) supports simultaneous measurement of L1 and L3;

[0072] The FR1 band refers to the frequency band below 6 GHz, such as 450 MHz to 6 GHz. The FR2 band refers to the frequency band from 24 GHz to 52 GHz, also known as the millimeter wave band.

[0073] 3) FR2 frequency does not support simultaneous measurement of L1 and L3 (UE may need different receive beams for L1 and L3).

[0074] These three points can be reflected in the calculation of the scaling factor P. In the related art, the L1 measurement based on the CSI-RS signal and the L1 measurement based on the SSB signal are similar in the calculation of the scaling factor P. In addition, the L1 measurement for FR2 also involves scheduling restrictions. For example, when the RLM reference signal is CSI-RS, and the transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of the currently activated physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) / physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDCCH) is quasi-co-location type D (Quasi-Co-Location type D, QCL type D), and the CSI-RS resources are repeated, no scheduling restrictions are required, otherwise the UE cannot send or receive data on the symbol where the RLM reference signal is located.

[0075] Layer 3 (L3) Measurement

[0076] L3 refers to the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer.

[0077] L3 measurement is mainly used for mobility management. L3 measurement can be divided into SSB-based and CSI-RS-based according to the type of reference signal; it can be divided into co-frequency and inter-frequency measurement according to the frequency / bandwidth configuration of the reference signal.

[0078] Taking the same-frequency SSB measurement as an example, it will be further divided into whether the measurement in the MG is required according to the UE capability and SSB configuration information. The L3 measurement based on SSB is mainly based on the SSB measurement time configuration (SMTC) window, and the measurement time will take into account the SMTC period; the L3 measurement based on CSI-RS has not yet configured a measurement window, and the measurement time is directly calculated according to the CSI-RS signal period. Correspondingly, L3 measurements that do not use MG also have scheduling restrictions; L3 measurements that require MG have no scheduling restrictions.

[0079] The Rel-15 version of the protocol sets indicators based on the most basic UE capabilities, namely a single antenna panel and a single receive beam / link (Rx beam / chain). In the Rel-16 Carrier Aggregation (CA) scenario, the UE receiving capability is enhanced to support the simultaneous reception of downlink signals on different carriers in the form of Independent Beam Management (IBM). The IBM capability requires the UE to have multiple baseband and RF processing capabilities, and to be able to use different receive beams on different carriers to use different UE panels / links to simultaneously receive multiple downlink signals. In addition, in the Rel-16eMIMO enhancement, the ability to use multiple receive beams simultaneously is also introduced (simultaneousReceptionDiffTypeD-r16, which can be supported on the same carrier). In the corresponding UE capability in the 3GPP protocol, the UE only reports whether it supports the simultaneous reception of two QCL type-D types.

[0080] It can be known from the related art that the time of L1 measurement and L3 measurement basically depends on the corresponding UE capability. In this article, L1 measurement can be considered as the abbreviation of L1 measurement process, and L3 measurement can also be considered as the abbreviation of L3 measurement process.

[0081] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The communication system 100 may include: a terminal 101, an access network device 102 and a core network device 103.

[0082] The number of terminals 101 is usually multiple, and one or more terminals 101 may be distributed in a cell managed by each access network device 102. The terminal 101 may include various handheld devices with wireless communication functions, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, as well as various forms of user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), etc. For the convenience of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as terminals.

[0083] The access network device 102 is a device deployed in the access network to provide wireless communication functions for the terminal 101. The access network device 102 may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, and access points. In systems using different wireless access technologies, the names of devices with access network device functions may be different. For example, in the fifth generation (5th Generation, 5G) mobile communication technology NR system, it is called gNodeB or gNB. With the evolution of communication technology, the name "access network device" may change. For the convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned devices that provide wireless communication functions for the terminal 101 are collectively referred to as access network devices. The access network device 102 and the terminal 101 can establish a connection through the air interface, so as to communicate through the connection, including the interaction of signaling and data. There can be multiple access network devices 102, and two adjacent access network devices 102 can also communicate in a wired or wireless manner. The terminal 101 can switch between different access network devices 102, that is, establish a connection with different access network devices 102. In the following, the access network device 102 is taken as an example of a base station.

[0084] The functions of the core network device 103 are mainly to provide user connection, user management and service bearing, and to provide an interface to the external network as a bearer network. The access network device 102 and the core network device 103 can be collectively referred to as network devices. By way of example, the network device in the embodiment of the present application can refer to the access network device. The core network device 103 and the access network device 102 communicate with each other through some air technology. Through the access network device 102, a communication relationship can be established between the terminal 101 and the core network device 103. By way of example, the core network device in the embodiment of the present application refers to LMF.

[0085] The "5G NR system" in the embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as a 5G system or an NR system, but those skilled in the art may understand its meaning. The technical solution described in the embodiment of the present application may be applicable to a 5G NR system or to a subsequent evolution system of the 5G NR system.

[0086] Figure 2A flow chart of a measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0087] Step 202: Perform measurement simultaneously using at least two receiving beams.

[0088] The measurement is a Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement. The measurement includes: L1 measurement and / or L3 measurement. The terminal supports simultaneous measurement and / or data transmission of multiple receive beams.

[0089] In some embodiments, the terminal measures the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement simultaneously through at least two receiving beams. The reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement includes: at least one of SSB and CSI-RS.

[0090] In some embodiments, the terminal measures the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement simultaneously through at least two receiving beams. The reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement includes: at least one of SSB, CSI-RS, and Positioning Reference Signal (PRS).

[0091] In some embodiments, the terminal simultaneously measures a reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement and a reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement through at least two receiving beams.

[0092] To summarize, in the method provided in this embodiment, the terminal performs measurements simultaneously through multiple receiving beams. Multiple receiving beams can be used to simultaneously measure the reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement or L3 measurement, or multiple receiving beams can be used to simultaneously measure the reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement and L3 measurement. This can reduce the measurement time to a certain extent.

[0093] Figure 3 A flow chart of a measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0094] Step 302: measure a reference signal corresponding to L1 measurement simultaneously through at least two receiving beams.

[0095] The terminal measures the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement simultaneously through at least two receiving beams. The reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement includes: at least one of SSB and CSI-RS.

[0096] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the base station 102 sends a reference signal for L1 measurement to the terminal 101. When the terminal 101 is capable of using at least two receiving beams to perform measurements simultaneously, the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement can be measured simultaneously. Figure 3 In the example, it is assumed that the terminal uses N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas = 3 receiving beams simultaneously measure the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement.

[0097] In some embodiments, the terminal determines that the first parameter is reduced from the first value to the Nth value of the first value. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas Among them, the first parameter is the scaling factor related to the receive beam scanning, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas is the number of receive beams measured simultaneously by at least two receive beams, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas The value is a positive integer.

[0098] The first value is a value of the first parameter defined in an existing protocol, such as 3GPP R15, R16, and R17. Optionally, the first value is a value when the terminal uses a single receive beam to measure the corresponding reference signal of L1. Optionally, the first value is a value defined for the first parameter in the 3GPP standard protocol before the filing date of this case.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0100] Parameter N related to Rx beam sweeping in L1 measurement;

[0101] Optionally, the first value of the parameter N refers to the relevant records of L1 measurement in Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of the 3GPP TS38.133 protocol, for example, the parameter N in Chapter 8.1 for determining the RLM measurement time.

[0102] In a scenario where the terminal simultaneously measures a reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement through at least two receiving beams, in order to reduce the measurement time, a more intuitive way is to reduce the scaling factor related to the receiving beam scanning.

[0103] For example, the first parameter includes a parameter N related to the receive beam scanning during the L1 measurement process, where N is a scaling factor for the receive beam scanning, which is only available in FR2. N is generally 8. For the FR2 High Speed ​​Train (HST) scenario, the value of N is related to the network deployment and is 6 or 2.

[0104] For example, the parameter N1 related to the receive beam scanning used in the RRC idle state for cell selection or cell reselection, and the parameter N1 related to the receive beam scanning used in the RRC inactive state, N1 = {8, 5, 4, 3}. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas When the receiving beam is capable of receiving the downlink signal, the parameters N, M, N1, etc. are reduced from the first value to N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas One percent, Nsim_Rx_beam_for_meas is the number of receive beams that are measured simultaneously by at least two receive beams.

[0105] In some embodiments, the L1 measurement process includes at least one of RLM, BFD, CBD, L1-RSRP, and L1-SINR.

[0106] In some embodiments, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas The value of N is a positive integer. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas Related to UE capabilities and / or network indication signaling.

[0107] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment is that the terminal measures the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement simultaneously through multiple receiving beams, and determines that the first parameter is N of the first value. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas For example, when three receiving beams are used for simultaneous measurement, the measurement time can be reduced by nearly 2 / 3 compared with measuring each beam direction separately.

[0108] Figure 5 A flow chart of a measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0109] Step 402: Measure a reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement simultaneously through at least two receiving beams.

[0110] The terminal measures the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement simultaneously through at least two receiving beams. The reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement includes: at least one of SSB, CSI-RS, and PRS.

[0111] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the base station 102 sends a reference signal for L3 measurement to the terminal 101. When the terminal 101 is capable of using at least two receiving beams to perform measurements simultaneously, the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement can be measured simultaneously. Figure 6 In the example, it is assumed that the terminal uses N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas = 3 receiving beams simultaneously measure the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement.

[0112] In some embodiments, the terminal determines that the first parameter is reduced from the first value to N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas Among them, the first parameter is the scaling factor related to the receive beam scanning, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas is the number of receive beams measured simultaneously by at least two receive beams, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas The value is a positive integer.

[0113] The first value is a value of the first parameter defined by an existing protocol, such as 3GPP R15, R16, and R17. Optionally, the first value is a value when the terminal uses a single receiving beam to measure a corresponding reference signal of L3 measurement.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0115] Parameter M related to receive beam scanning in L3 measurement;

[0116] Parameter M includes various parameters, such as M pss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps , M meas_period_w / o_gaps For example, the relevant definition of parameter M may refer to at least one of Tables 9.2.5.1-2, 9.2.5.1-5, 9.2.5.1-8, 9.2.5.2-2, 9.2.5.2-4, and 9.2.5.2-7 in Chapter 9.2 of 3GPP TS38.133 protocol.

[0117] Receive beam scanning factor N in positioning measurement RxBeam ;

[0118] Parameter N RxBeam For the relevant definitions, please refer to Chapter 5.6 and Chapter 9.9 of the 3GPP TS38.133 protocol.

[0119] Parameter N1 related to receive beam scanning during cell selection or cell reselection in RRC idle state;

[0120] ·Parameter N1 related to receive beam scanning during cell selection or cell reselection in RRC inactive state.

[0121] For the relevant definition of parameter N1, please refer to the relevant records in Chapter 4 of the 3GPP TS38.133 protocol.

[0122] In a scenario where the terminal simultaneously measures a reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement through at least two receiving beams, in order to reduce the measurement time, a more intuitive way is to reduce the scaling factor related to the receiving beam scanning.

[0123] For example, the first parameter includes parameter N related to receive beam scanning during L3 measurement, where N is a scaling factor for receive beam scanning, which is only available in FR2. N is generally 8. For FR2 HST high-speed rail scenarios, the value of N depends on network deployment and is 6 or 2.

[0124] For example, the parameter N1 related to the receive beam scanning used in the RRC idle state for cell selection or cell reselection, and the parameter N1 related to the receive beam scanning used in the RRC inactive state, N1 = {8, 5, 4, 3}. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas When the receiving beam is capable of receiving the downlink signal, the parameters N, M, N1, etc. are reduced from the first value to N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas One percent, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas is the number of receive beams that are measured simultaneously by at least two receive beams.

[0125] In some embodiments, the L3 measurement process includes at least one of measurement within the MG, measurement within a network controlled small gap (NCSG), measurement outside the gap, measurement of a deactivated secondary cell, and measurement in an RRC idle state / RRC inactive state.

[0126] In some embodiments, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas The value of N is a positive integer. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas Related to UE capabilities and / or network indication signaling.

[0127] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment is that the terminal measures the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement simultaneously through multiple receiving beams, and determines that the first parameter is N of the first value. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas For example, when three receiving beams are used for simultaneous measurement, the measurement time can be reduced by nearly 2 / 3 compared with measuring each beam direction separately.

[0128] Figure 7 A flow chart of a measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0129] Step 502: simultaneously measure reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement and L3 measurement through at least two receiving beams.

[0130] The terminal simultaneously measures reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement and L3 measurement through at least two receiving beams. The reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement and L3 measurement include: at least one of SSB, CSI-RS, and PRS.

[0131] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the base station 102 sends reference signals for L1 measurement and L3 measurement to the terminal 101. When the terminal 101 is capable of using at least two receiving beams to perform measurements simultaneously, the reference signals corresponding to the L1 measurement and the L3 measurement can be measured simultaneously.

[0132] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned simultaneous measurement means that the terminal 101 uses the first receiving beam of at least two receiving beams to measure the reference signal of L1 measurement, and uses the second receiving beam of at least two receiving beams to measure the reference signal of L3 measurement. The first receiving beam is at least one, the second receiving beam is at least one, and the sum of the first receiving beam and the second receiving beam is N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas For example, the terminal 101 uses reception beam 1 to measure the reference signal for L1 measurement, and uses reception beam 2 and reception beam 3 to measure the reference signal for L3 measurement.

[0133] In some embodiments, the terminal further determines that a second parameter corresponding to at least two receiving beams performing measurements is smaller than a second parameter corresponding to a single receiving beam performing measurements, wherein the second parameter is a scaling factor related to the conflict between the L1 measurement and the L3 measurement.

[0134] In some embodiments, the second parameter includes at least one of the following:

[0135] Scaling factor P of the L1 measurement process;

[0136] For the definition of parameter P, please refer to the relevant records in Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of the 3GPP TS38.133 protocol, for example, parameter P in Chapter 8.1 is used to determine the RLM measurement time.

[0137] Scaling factor K for the L3 measurement process layer1_measurement .

[0138] Parameter K layer1_measurement For the relevant definition of K, please refer to the relevant records in Chapter 9 of the 3GPP TS38.133 protocol, such as the parameter K used to determine the FR2 same-frequency SSB measurement time in Chapter 9.2.5 layer1_measurement .

[0139] When the UE is capable of simultaneously using at least two receiving beams for measurement, the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement and the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement can be measured simultaneously, and the scaling factors related to the L1 and L3 conflicts can be reduced according to the receiving capabilities of the multiple receiving beams, including the scaling factor P of the L1 measurement process and / or the scaling factor K of the L3 measurement process. layer1_measurement Among them, K layer1_measurement Considering the scenario where the SMTC configured for L3 measurement conflicts with the L1 reference signal, it can correspond to the Psharing factor in L1 measurement. When the two completely overlap, 1 / 3 of the opportunities are used for L1 measurement (i.e., scaling factor Psharing factor = 3 / 1 = 3), and 2 / 3 of the opportunities are used for L3 measurement (i.e., scaling factor K layer1_measurement =3 / 2=1.5) 。

[0140] Ideally, L1 measurement and L3 measurement should not interfere with each other, that is, in the L1 measurement period of FR2, the scaling factor P no longer requires the overlapping relationship between L1 measurement resources and SMTC, and only needs to remove the overlapping part with MG. layer1_measurement =1.

[0141] In some embodiments, the L1 measurement includes at least one of RLM, BFD, CBD, L1-RSRP, and L1-SINR; the L3 measurement process includes at least one of L3 measurement within NCSG and L3 measurement outside the Gap.

[0142] In some embodiments, N sim_Rx_beam_for_meas It is related to the terminal capability and / or network indication signaling of the terminal.

[0143] To sum up, the method provided in this embodiment is that the terminal simultaneously measures the reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement and L3 measurement through multiple receiving beams, and the second parameter corresponding to the measurement when at least two receiving beams are measured is smaller than the second parameter corresponding to the measurement when a single receiving beam is measured, which can reduce the measurement time to a certain extent.

[0144] Fig. 9 A flow chart of a capability reporting method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0145] Step 602: The terminal reports capability information to the access network device.

[0146] The capability information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the capability of simultaneously receiving through multiple receiving beams on the same carrier.

[0147] Correspondingly, the access network device receives capability information reported by the terminal, where the capability information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the capability of simultaneously receiving through multiple receiving beams on the same carrier.

[0148] In some embodiments, the capability information also carries at least one of the following:

[0149] The number of receive beams that the terminal supports for simultaneous reception on the same carrier;

[0150] The use of multiple receive beams supported by the terminal.

[0151] In some embodiments, the use of the multiple receive beams includes at least one of the following:

[0152] All receiving beams or at least two receiving beams or at least one receiving beam of the plurality of receiving beams measure reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement;

[0153] All receiving beams or at least two receiving beams or at least one receiving beam of the plurality of receiving beams measure reference signals corresponding to L3 measurement;

[0154] All receiving beams or at least two receiving beams or at least one receiving beam of the plurality of receiving beams simultaneously measure a reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement and a reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement.

[0155] For example, the multiple receiving beams are 8 receiving beams, and the terminal can use 8 receiving beams to simultaneously measure the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement; or, use 8 receiving beams to simultaneously measure the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement; or, use 4 receiving beams to measure the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement, and use another 4 receiving beams to measure the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement at the same time; or, use 2 receiving beams to measure the reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement, and use another 6 receiving beams to measure the reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement at the same time; or, use 1 receiving beam to measure the L1 measurement. Measure the corresponding reference signal, and use another 7 receiving beams to measure the corresponding reference signal of L3 at the same time; or, use 2 receiving beams to measure the corresponding reference signal of L1, and use 2 receiving beams to measure the corresponding reference signal of L3 at the same time, and the remaining 4 receiving beams are not used; or, use 3 receiving beams to measure the corresponding reference signal of L1, and the remaining 5 receiving beams are not used; or, use 5 receiving beams to measure the corresponding reference signal of L3, and the remaining 3 receiving beams are not used, and so on.

[0156] In some embodiments, the usage of multiple receiving beams is uniformly indicated for multiple measurement processes and / or multiple measurement types; or, the usage of multiple receiving beams is separately indicated for different measurement processes and / or different measurement types.

[0157] In some embodiments, the reporting granularity of the capability information is at least one of the following: per terminal; per frequency band; per carrier; per cell; per BWP.

[0158] In some embodiments, the capability information is carried in RRC signaling.

[0159] For example, the terminal may report the number of receive beams that can be used for simultaneous reception via signaling egnumSimReceptionDiffTypeD, N sim_Rx_beam={1,2,3,4}; or the terminal may report that it hopes / can use multiple receive beams to simultaneously measure reference signals to speed up receive beam scanning by signaling egSimMeasDiffTypeD or SimL3MeasDiffTypeD; or the terminal may report that it hopes / can use N receive beams to simultaneously measure reference signals by signaling egnumSimMeasDiffTypeD or numSimL3MeasDiffTypeD. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas or the terminal may report that it wishes / is able to use multiple receive beams for simultaneous L1 measurement and L3 measurement through signaling egSimL1AndL3MeasDiffTypeD; or the terminal may report that it wishes / is able to use multiple receive beams for simultaneous measurement and downlink channel / signal reception through signaling egSimMeasAndDataDiffTypeD; or the terminal may report the number of receive beams that it wishes / is able to use for measurement through signaling egnumSimMeasDiffTypeD; or the terminal may report the number of receive beams that it wishes / is able to use for L3 measurement, L1 measurement, and data reception through signaling egnumSimL3MeasDiffTypeD,numSimL1MeasDiffTypeD,numSimDataDiffTypeD. For example, when the terminal can support simultaneous measurement of 2 receive beams at most, and numSimL3MeasDiffTypeD = 2, it means that the receive beam scanning time for L3 measurement can be reduced by half; but since all receive beam capabilities are used for L3 measurement, the sharing factors P and K layer1_measurement All can only use the existing solution, and scheduling restrictions are still required during the L3 measurement process. For another example, when the terminal can support up to 3 receiving beams for simultaneous measurement, and numSimL3MeasDiffTypeD = 2, then the L3 measurement can use 2 receiving beams at the same time, reducing the time by half; and there is one remaining receiving beam that can be used for L1 measurement or data reception, so the sharing factors P and K layer1_measurement It can be reduced, and during the L3 measurement process, scheduling restrictions for downlink reception are only required when there is a conflict with multiple PDCCH / PDSCHs of different QCL type D.

[0160] Fig.10 A flow chart of a capability reporting method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment is illustrated by taking the method executed by a terminal as an example. The method includes:

[0161] Step 702: The terminal receives configuration information sent by the access network device.

[0162] Correspondingly, the access network device sends configuration information to the terminal, where the configuration information is used to configure the terminal to allow simultaneous measurement through multiple receiving beams on the same carrier.

[0163] In some embodiments, the usage of the multiple receive beams allowed by the configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0164] All receiving beams or at least two receiving beams or at least one receiving beam of the plurality of receiving beams measure reference signals corresponding to L1 measurement;

[0165] All receiving beams or at least two receiving beams or at least one receiving beam of the plurality of receiving beams measure reference signals corresponding to L3 measurement;

[0166] All of the multiple receive beams or at least two receive beams or at least one receive beam measures a reference signal corresponding to the L1 measurement and a reference signal corresponding to the L3 measurement.

[0167] For example, the configuration information is used to configure whether the UE is allowed to use multiple receive beams for enhanced measurement.

[0168] For example, the configuration information is used to configure whether the UE is allowed to use Figure 7 The scheme shown uses multiple receive beam measurements, and can use up to Nsim_Rx_beam_for_meas (<= Nsim_Rx_beam) receive beams to speed up the measurement.

[0169] For example, the configuration information is used to configure whether the UE is allowed to use Figure 2 or Figure 3 or Figure 5 The solution uses multiple receive beams to perform L1 and L3 measurements separately.

[0170] For example, the configuration information is used to configure that when Nsim_Rx_beam is large, the UE is allowed to adopt some of the above combinations.

[0171] In some embodiments, the configuration information is related to at least one of the following conditions or information: a matter in the measurement process; MG configuration; SMTC; DRX cycle configuration.

[0172] In some embodiments, the configuration granularity of the configuration information is at least one of the following: per UE; per frequency band; per carrier; per cell; per BWP.

[0173] In some embodiments, the access network device may also indicate the usage of multiple receiving beams of the terminal through signaling.

[0174] In some embodiments, the capability information is carried in RRC signaling.

[0175] Exemplarily, the access network device may configure the number of receiving beams that the terminal can use for simultaneous reception by configuring the parameter egnumSimReceptionDiffTypeDConfig, N sim_Rx_beam ={1,2,3,4}; or the access network device can configure the terminal to allow / be able to use multiple receive beams for simultaneous measurement of reference signals to speed up the receive beam scanning by configuring the parameters egSimMeasDiffTypeDConfig or SimL3MeasDiffTypeDConfig; or the access network device can configure the terminal to allow / be able to use N receive beams for simultaneous measurement of reference signals by configuring the parameters egnumSimMeasDiffTypeDConfig or numSimL3MeasDiffTypeDConfig. sim_Rx_beam_for_meas receive beams for simultaneous measurement of reference signals to speed up the receive beam scanning; or the access network device can configure the terminal to allow / be able to use multiple receive beams for simultaneous L1 measurement and L3 measurement by configuring the parameter egSimL1AndL3MeasDiffTypeDConfig; or the access network device can configure the terminal to allow / be able to use multiple receive beams for simultaneous measurement and downlink channel / signal reception by configuring the parameter egSimMeasAndDataDiffTypeDConfig; or the access network device can configure the number of receive beams that the terminal is allowed / able to use for measurement by configuring the parameter egnumSimMeasDiffTypeDConfig.

[0176] Or the access network device can configure the number of receiving beams that the terminal allows / can use for L3 measurement, L1 measurement, and data reception by configuring parameters such as numSimL3MeasDiffTypeDConfig, numSimL1MeasDiffTypeDConfig, and numSimDataDiffTypeDConfig. For example, when the terminal can support up to 2 receiving beams for simultaneous measurement, and numSimL3MeasDiffTypeDConfig = 2, it means that the receiving beam scanning time for L3 measurement can be reduced by half; but since the capabilities of all receiving beams are used for L3 measurement, the sharing factors P and K layer1_measurement All can only use the existing solution, and scheduling restrictions are still required during the L3 measurement process. For another example, when the access network equipment can support up to 3 receiving beams for simultaneous measurement, and numSimL3MeasDiffTypeDConfig = 2, then the L3 measurement can use 2 receiving beams at the same time, reducing the time by half; and there is one remaining receiving beam that can be used for L1 measurement or data reception, so the sharing factors P and Klayer1_measurement It can be reduced, and during the L3 measurement process, scheduling restrictions for downlink reception are only required when there is a conflict with multiple PDCCH / PDSCHs of different QCLtype D.

[0177] In addition to reporting capability information and / or receiving configuration information to determine how to use multiple receiving beams, in some embodiments, the terminal determines how to use multiple receiving beams based on a first rule, and the first rule is related to at least one of the following conditions or information: events during the measurement process; MG configuration; SMTC configuration; DRX cycle configuration.
