[0128] In the 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) New Radio (NR) system, the terminal device mainly performs time domain synchronization and / or frequency domain synchronization and / or spatial domain synchronization, automatic gain control (AGC) and beam selection based on SSB. The terminal device obtains the SSB configuration in the following way:

[0129] Step 1: The terminal device determines the SSB period (ssb-periodicity serving cell) and the SSB beam actually sent (ssb-position in burst) based on the SSB period indicated by the network side and the SSB beam actually sent, where the unit of the SSB period is milliseconds (ms), and the SSB beam actually sent is indicated by a bitmap. Step 2: The terminal device obtains the transmission frequency of the SSB based on the synchronization grid scanning, and determines the subcarrier spacing of the SSB through preset information; or, the terminal device obtains the transmission frequency and subcarrier spacing of the SSB based on the indication information. Step 3: The terminal device determines the specific time slot and OFDM symbol where the SSB is located based on the preset transmission pattern of the spectrum and the half-frame bits indicated in the master information block (MIB). Among them, the preset transmission pattern indicates on which orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of the SSB are sent in the half-frame.

[0130] At present, the terminal device can complete layer 1 measurement and layer 3 measurement based on SSB. Among them, layer 1 measurement includes RLM, BFD, CBD, and beam management (BM, Beam Management) based on layer 1 reference signal receiving power (RSRP, Reference Signal Receiving Power) (L1-RSRP) or layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR, Signal to Interference plus NoiseRatio) (L1-SINR). Layer 1 measurement is mostly applied to the serving cell, which is used for link-level and / or beam-level monitoring of the cell being used by the terminal device. Layer 3 measurement includes RRM. Layer 3 measurement is mostly applied to the serving cell and the adjacent cell for cell switching, cell reselection and other processes. The network side configures the terminal device with a reference signal for layer 1 measurement and / or layer 3 measurement. The reference signal can be SSB or a periodic channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS, Channel State Information-Reference Signal). The network side associates one or more specific reference signals with a specific layer 1 measurement or layer 3 measurement through an ID. At the same time, the NR protocol also stipulates the evaluation period of layer 1 measurement or layer 3 measurement based on SSB and the reporting period of layer 1 measurement. In addition, the NR protocol also defines the SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC, SSB Measurement Timing Configuration) and the measurement gap (MG, Measurement Gap), including the period, offset, and time window length of the measurement in the continuous period.

[0131] As can be seen from the above, in the relevant technology, SSB is sent periodically, and the layer 1 measurement or layer 3 measurement of the terminal device is based on the periodic SSB. The network device needs to send SSB in a shorter period and needs to receive the measurement results periodically. The overall energy consumption of the terminal device and the network side is relatively large. At the same time, the measurement period or reporting period related to the layer 1 measurement or layer 3 measurement is also relatively fixed. When the terminal device has the needs of cell switching, cell reselection, link reconstruction, etc., the delay caused by the measurement is also relatively significant.

[0132] Based on this, in each embodiment of the present application, in the communication method, apparatus, terminal device, network device, storage medium and computer program product provided in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device executes a second event associated with the first event when a first event occurs, wherein the second event includes one or more of the following: assuming that a first reference signal is sent, receiving a first reference signal, and performing a first measurement based on the first reference signal; correspondingly, on the network side, the network device sends a first reference signal when a third event occurs, wherein the third event includes one or more of the following: receiving a first measurement result, wherein the first measurement result does not meet the first condition, and / or sending first information associated with the first measurement result. Based on the above scheme, the terminal device assumes that the actions of sending the first reference signal and / or receiving the first reference signal and / or performing the first measurement based on the first reference signal are all performed when the first event occurs, and are not performed periodically. The network device also sends the first reference signal when the third event occurs, and is not performed periodically. In this way, the terminal device does not need to frequently receive the first reference signal, nor does it need to frequently perform measurements on the first reference signal, nor does it need to frequently send measurement results on the first reference signal. Similarly, the network device does not need to frequently send the first reference signal, nor does it need to frequently receive measurement results on the first reference signal. Based on this, the overall energy consumption of the terminal device and the network device is effectively reduced, and the communication performance is improved.

[0133] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0134] The present application embodiment provides a communication method applied to a terminal device, referring to Figure 1 , the communication method comprises:

[0135] Step 101: A first event occurs.

[0136] Step 102: Execute the second event.

[0137] The second event is associated with the first event, and the second event includes one or more of the following:

[0138] Assume that a first reference signal is sent;

[0139] receiving a first reference signal;

[0140] A first measurement is performed based on the first reference signal.

[0141] Here, assuming that the first reference signal is sent can also be described as expecting that the first reference signal is sent. The first reference signal can be understood as a reference signal that is sent aperiodically, or as a reference signal that is triggered on demand.

[0142] In actual application, assuming that the first reference signal is sent may be assuming that one or more reference signals are sent; receiving the first reference signal may be receiving one or more first reference signals; performing the first measurement according to the first reference signal may be performing the first measurement on each of the first reference signals according to the one or more first reference signals. Among them, the one or more first reference signals include one or more of the following: SSB, primary synchronization signal (PSS), secondary synchronization signal (SSS), low-power synchronization signal (LP-SS), CSI-RS, tracking reference signal (TRS), phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and other newly defined reference signals and / or synchronization signals.

[0143] In addition, in the embodiment scheme of the present application, in addition to sending non-periodic reference signals, the network side may also send periodic reference signals. In addition, the signal type of the periodic reference signal sent by the network side and the non-periodic reference signal may be the same or different. Exemplarily, the periodic reference signal sent by the network side may include one or more of the following: SSB, SSS, PSS, LP-SS, and the above periodic reference signals may be used for basic coarse synchronization, as well as for long-periodic layer one measurement and / or layer three measurement; correspondingly, the non-periodic reference signal sent by the network side may include one or more of the following: CSI-RS, TRS, and the above non-periodic reference signals may be used for fine synchronization, AGC, and fast layer one measurement and / or layer three measurement.

[0144] The terminal device performs a first measurement based on the first reference signal, wherein the first measurement may be a layer 1 measurement and / or a layer 3 measurement, and the first measurement may be used for link level monitoring, such as RLM, and may be used for beam level detection, such as BFD, CBD, or measurement related to the reported amount based on L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, and may be used for mobility management, such as RRM.

[0145] Here, when the first event occurs, the terminal device executes the second event, which can be understood as the occurrence of the first event being a trigger condition for the execution of the second event. In one embodiment, the occurrence of the first event includes one or more of the following:

[0146] sending a first measurement result, wherein the first measurement result does not satisfy a first condition; and / or,

[0147] First information is received, wherein the first information is associated with a first measurement result.

[0148] That is to say, when the terminal device sends the first measurement result, the terminal device executes the above-mentioned second event, or when the terminal device receives the first information associated with the first measurement result sent by the network side, the terminal device executes the above-mentioned second event.

[0149] It is understandable that the first measurement result may be a measurement result of a reference signal that is sent periodically, or a reference signal that is always on. In other words, the first measurement result is associated with a reference signal that is sent periodically, or a reference signal that is always on;

[0150] The first measurement result is a measurement result that does not satisfy the first condition. In one embodiment, the first measurement result does not satisfy the first condition, including:

[0151] The first measurement result is below a first threshold; and / or,

[0152] The first measurement result does not satisfy the first criterion.

[0153] The first threshold may be a threshold of an indicator value corresponding to a measurement indicator related to the first measurement result, and the measurement indicator related to the first measurement result includes but is not limited to one or more of the following: RSRP, reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ), and received signal strength indication (RSSI). The first criterion may be one or more of a low mobility criterion, a high serving cell quality criterion, and a non-cell edge criterion. Exemplarily, the low mobility criterion may be expressed as: (reference value - first measurement result) < threshold, or (first measurement result - reference value) < threshold. The reference value and / or threshold may be a set value, a predefined value, or a value configured by the network side; the high serving cell quality criterion may be expressed as: first measurement result > threshold + offset value, wherein the threshold and / or offset value may be a set value, a predefined value, or a value configured by the network side; the non-cell edge criterion may be expressed as: first measurement result > first threshold and second measurement result > second threshold, wherein the second measurement result may be one of the first measurement results, such as the current / latest measurement result. The first threshold value and / or the second reference value may be a set value, a predefined value, or a value configured by the network side. The performance indicators of the first threshold value and the second threshold value may be the same or different.

[0154] In one embodiment, the first measurement result does not satisfy the first condition, including:

[0155] The first measurement results sent within the first time interval do not satisfy the first condition; and / or,

[0156] The number of times that the first measurement result does not satisfy the first condition reaches a first number.

[0157] Specifically, the first measurement results sent within the first time interval do not meet the first condition, including:

[0158] The first measurement results sent within the first time interval are all lower than the first threshold, and / or the number of times the first measurement results are lower than the first threshold reaches a first number; or,

[0159] The first measurement results sent within the first time interval do not satisfy the first criterion, and / or the number of times that the first measurement results do not satisfy the first criterion reaches a first number.

[0160] Here, the first time interval and / or the first number may be a set value, a predefined value, or a value configured by the network side.

[0161] Combination Figure 2 For example, according to the time axis from left to right, the network side first periodically sends a reference signal, and then the terminal device sends a first measurement result that does not meet the first condition. Figure 2 Within the first time interval shown, the first measurement results sent by the terminal device do not meet the first condition, and / or if the number of first measurement results sent by the terminal device that do not meet the first condition reaches a first number, then, thereafter, the network side sends a first reference signal as needed.

[0162] In an embodiment of the present application, after sending the first measurement result, the terminal device receives first information, wherein the first information is associated with the first measurement result of the terminal device. Therefore, the first information can also be described as first feedback information of the network side regarding the first measurement result.

[0163] In one embodiment,

[0164] Assuming that the first reference signal is sent, comprising: assuming that the first reference signal is sent on a first cell or a first carrier; and / or,

[0165] Receiving the first reference signal includes: receiving the first reference signal on a first cell or a first carrier; and / or,

[0166] Performing a first measurement according to the first reference signal includes: performing a first measurement according to the first reference signal on a first cell or a first carrier.

[0167] In actual application, the network side may indicate the cell and / or carrier that sends the first reference signal. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0168] Receive second information.

[0169] The second information indicates that the first reference signal is associated with the first cell or the first carrier.

[0170] Specifically, the second information may include an index of the first cell or the first carrier, for example, may include an index of the first cell, so that the terminal device determines the cell that sends the first reference signal based on the index.

[0171] Alternatively, the second information may include an identifier of the first cell or the first carrier, for example, may include a physical cell identifier (PCI, Physical Cell Identity) of the first cell. Alternatively, when the second information is sent, the network side may default to all cells, or all adjacent cells of the service cell of the terminal device, or all adjacent cells configured with on-demand triggered reference signals, sending the first reference signal. Similarly, when receiving the second information, the terminal device side may understand that all cells, or all adjacent cells of the service cell of the terminal device, or all adjacent cells configured with on-demand triggered reference signals, send the first reference signal.

[0172] Alternatively, the second information may include a bitmap and / or multiple information blocks, wherein each cell corresponds to a bit in the bitmap, and / or each cell corresponds to an information block in multiple information blocks, that is, each cell has a mapping relationship with a bit in the bitmap, and / or each cell has a mapping relationship with an information block in multiple information blocks. Here, the mapping relationship can be pre-configured by the network side. In this way, the first cell that sends the first reference signal can be determined by the indication of the bitmap in the second information and / or the information blocks included in the second information.

[0173] In one embodiment, the first information includes the second information. That is, it can be understood that the first feedback information about the first measurement result on the network side indicates the cell and / or carrier that sends the first reference signal, or it can be understood that when the terminal device receives the first information, the sending configuration of the first reference signal can be obtained from the first information, and the sending behavior of the first reference signal can also be obtained.

[0174] In one embodiment, the second information includes one or more of the following of the first reference signal:

[0175] Transmission cycle;

[0176] The offset value of the time unit in the transmission cycle;

[0177] Transmission pattern;

[0178] Subcarrier spacing;

[0179] Frequency domain position;

[0180] Transmit power;

[0181] The carrier and / or cell to which it belongs;
