Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a readable storage medium for transmitting auxiliary information. Background Art

[0002] In 5G New Radio (NR), Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), that is, 5G satellite communication networks, are introduced. Since the satellite is at a relatively high altitude from the earth, the signal transmission delay of NTN is relatively large.

[0003] In a Terrestrial Networks (TN) system, the radius of a cell is small, and the transmission delay gap between User Equipments (UEs) and different cells is very small, much smaller than the length of the Synchronization Signal Block-Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) or the Measurement Gap. However, in a Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) system, the radius of a cell is large, and the overlapping range of the coverage areas of different satellites is also large. For example, when satellite 1 provides services for a UE, the UE may also be within the coverage area of satellite 2 / satellite 3. Therefore, the mobility of the UE needs to be considered. The UE needs to perform measurements on neighboring cells within the coverage of satellite 2 / satellite 3, and the impact of the transmission delay difference needs to be considered.

[0004] For example Figure 1 As shown in the figure, where satellite (SA1) is the serving cell satellite and satellite (SA2) is the neighboring cell satellite. The transmission delay for the UE to receive the serving cell signal can be expressed as T1g + T1u, and the transmission delay for the UE to receive the neighboring cell signal is T2u + T2g. The transmission delay difference is T1g + T1u - (T2g + T2u). Considering that the distances between different satellites and the UE and the ground station are different, there will be a large gap in the transmission delay between the UE receiving the serving cell signal and receiving the neighboring cell signal, that is, T1g + T1u - (T2g + T2u) will not approach 0 and may be greater than the length of the SMTC or the Measurement Gap.

[0005] If the configuration of SMTC or measurement gaps does not consider the transmission delay difference, the UE may miss the measurement window of the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) or the Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and thus will not be able to perform measurements on the configured reference signals. Therefore, when configuring SMTC or measurement gaps, the network needs to obtain the corresponding transmission delay or transmission delay difference. Since the network cannot obtain the accurate location information of the UE, the UE needs to report auxiliary information to assist the network in configuring or reconfiguring SMTC and measurement gaps.

[0006] To prevent the problem that the network cannot reconfigure a suitable SMTC / measurement GAP due to untimely reporting of auxiliary information and the UE misses the SSB of neighboring cells, the UE can be made to report auxiliary information frequently. However, frequent reporting of auxiliary information by the UE will increase the power consumption of the UE and cause unnecessary reconfigurations on the network side frequently. Therefore, how to make the UE report auxiliary information more reasonably is a technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0214] Step S203: Determine the auxiliary information at the target time;

[0215] Step S204: Report the auxiliary information at the target time.

[0216] In a possible implementation, the target moment corresponds to a definite moment. After receiving the first indication information, the user equipment reports the auxiliary information at this definite moment.

[0217] In a possible implementation, the target moment corresponds to more than one definite moment. After receiving the first indication information, the user equipment reports more than one piece of auxiliary information, and each piece of auxiliary information corresponds to one of the definite moments.

[0218] In a possible implementation, the target moment is a definite moment for the user equipment.

[0220] In an example, the target moment refers to the current moment. The network device sends the first indication information to the user equipment, and the first indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to report the auxiliary information at the current moment. The user equipment reports one piece of auxiliary information, and this auxiliary information is the auxiliary information at the current moment.

[0221] In an example, the target moment refers to a future moment.

The user equipment reports one piece of auxiliary information, and this auxiliary information is the auxiliary information at the future moment.

[0222] In an example, the target moment refers to the current moment and a future moment. The network device sends the first indication information to the user equipment, and the first indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to report the auxiliary information at the current moment and the future moment. The user equipment reports two pieces of auxiliary information, one piece of auxiliary information is the auxiliary information at the current moment, and the other piece of auxiliary information is the auxiliary information at the future moment.
