[0112] The following are the definitions of professional terms involved in the present disclosure:

[0113] 1. L1: Layer 1, the first layer (physical layer).

[0114] 2. RSRP: Reference Signal Received Power, reference signal received power.

[0115] 3. L1-RSRP: Layer 1-Reference Signal Received Power, the reference signal received power of layer 1.

[0116] 4. PUCCH: Physical Uplink Control Channel, the physical uplink control Channel .

[0117] 5. RS: Reference Signal, the reference signal, and sensing RS is the sensing reference signal.

[0118] 6. PUSCH: Physical Uplink Shared Channel, the physical uplink shared channel.

[0119] Currently, in the measurement reporting of L1-RSRP, only periodic and semi-persistent reporting are defined. The terminal reports the L1-RSRP measurement results according to the reporting period configured by the NW. However, the overhead of regular reporting is large. For event-triggered reporting, the terminal does not need to report the RSRP measurement results regularly, but only reports them when the measurement results meet specific conditions. For example, when the L1-RSRP of the current beam is worse than that of other candidate beams, the terminal will report the beam index with good quality to the NW. Since only the reporting delay of layer 3-reference signal received power based on event-triggering is defined currently, and the definition of the reporting delay of layer 3-reference signal received power is mainly to verify that when the channel conditions of the cell change, the terminal can detect the change of channel quality through RRM measurement and report the measurement results to the NW within the time based on different event-triggering criteria.

[0120] As Figure 1B shown in the schematic diagram of A3 event-triggered reporting, starting from T0, the RSRP of the neighboring cell increases significantly, and the RSRP gap between the serving cell and the neighboring cell is greater than the configured RSRP offset; T1 is the time to trigger layer 3 reporting. After one measurement period after T0, the terminal will obtain a layer 3 measurement result at T1 and compare it with the event threshold; T2 is the end point of layer 3 reporting. The terminal will wait for uplink resources and send the layer 3 measurement result at T2. However, the uplink resource delay will not be included in the currently specified total delay length.

[0121] 1. For event-triggered layer 3 reporting, the start point and the end point are defined: the start point of reporting is the time point when the channel conditions of the cell change and meet the event-triggering conditions; the end point of reporting is the time point when the terminal starts to send the layer 3 measurement results.

[0122] 2. For event-triggered layer 3 reporting, the maximum delay length is equal to one measurement period, excluding layer 3 related delays and uplink resource waiting time.

[0123] However, for layer 1 measurements, the measurement period is shorter. Therefore, there may be new layer 1 measurement results after the event is triggered and before the uplink resources arrive. The new measurement results need to be taken into account to complete the reporting of the measurement results.

[0124] Therefore, the present disclosure proposes a method for determining time delay, a communication device, a communication system, a storage medium, and a program product. By defining the layer 1 measurement reporting time delay between the terminal device and the network device, the terminal device can timely detect channel changes and report them in a timely manner, and further verify the ability of the terminal to correctly and timely detect channel changes.

[0125] In the present disclosure, communication measurement is used to measure relevant information of the channel, and measurement feedback. The specific relevant information and uses are not limited in the present disclosure; the terminal device can measure the reference signal sent by the network device to determine the measurement result and report the measurement result. The specific measurement result and use are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0126] Figure 2 It is an interaction diagram of the time delay determination method shown according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 2 shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for determining time delay. The above method includes:

[0127] Step S2101, the terminal device determines the event-based layer 1 measurement reporting time delay.

[0128] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines the event-based layer 1 measurement reporting time delay according to a first time point and a second time point. The first time point is the starting point of the layer 1 measurement corresponding to the triggered event, and the second time point is the time point when the terminal device sends an uplink message to the network device through a first uplink resource. The uplink message is used to indicate a second uplink resource or request a second uplink resource, and the second uplink resource is used to report the layer 1 measurement result.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first time point may be the starting point of the layer 1 measurement corresponding to the triggered event, or the time point when the layer 1 measurement starts, or the time point when the triggered event is evaluated, or the time point when the channel changes, or the starting point of the layer 1 reporting.

[0130] In some embodiments, the event threshold corresponding to the triggered event is defined according to different times, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0131] In some embodiments, starting from the first time point, due to a significant increase in the RSRP of an adjacent cell, the RSRP gap between the serving cell and the adjacent cell is greater than the configured RSRP offset, and thus layer 1 measurements are started.

[0132] In some embodiments, the second time point may be the time point of the uplink resource indicating the reporting of the measurement result, or the time point of the uplink resource requesting the reporting of the measurement result, or the time point of performing layer 1 reporting, or the time point of sending the first uplink resource corresponding to the network device, or the time point when the first uplink resource is ready, and so on.

[0133] In some embodiments, the second time point may be the time point when the terminal device sends an uplink message to the network device through the first uplink resource, for example, sending an uplink message to the network device through the PUCCH. The uplink message may be an indication message or a request message. The indication message is used to indicate the identifier of the uplink resource for reporting the layer 1 measurement result, and the request message is used to request the uplink resource for reporting the layer 1 measurement result. In some embodiments, the following solutions are specifically defined for the layer 1 measurement reporting delay:

[0134] Solution 1:

[0135] In some embodiments, the layer 1 measurement reporting delay includes a first duration and a second duration. The first duration is at least one layer 1 measurement period, and the second duration is the duration between the third time point and the second time point. The third time point is the time point when the terminal device completes the measurement of the last reference signal in at least one layer 1 measurement period, and the measurement result of at least one reference signal in at least one layer 1 measurement period satisfies the condition for triggering layer 1 reporting.

[0136] In some embodiments, the third time point may be the time point for triggering layer 1 reporting, or the end time point of layer 1 measurement, or the time point for completing layer 1 measurement, or the time point for obtaining the layer 1 measurement result, or the time point for evaluating that the layer 1 measurement result meets the reporting condition, or the time point for deciding to perform layer 1 reporting, and so on.

[0137] In some embodiments, the third time point may be the time point when the first measurement result meets the reporting condition. The first measurement result is the first measurement result obtained by performing layer 1 measurement on the first reference signal sent by the network device in at least one layer 1 measurement period starting from the first time point.

[0138] In some embodiments, the layer 1 measurement period is predefined, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0139] In some embodiments, at least one reference signal in at least one layer 1 measurement period is measured to obtain at least one measurement result. The time point corresponding to the measurement result of at least one reference signal satisfying the condition for triggering layer 1 reporting is determined as the third time point. It can be understood that the measurement result of at least one reference signal satisfying the condition for triggering layer 1 reporting can be that the measurement result of the at least one reference signal measured last satisfies the condition for triggering layer 1 reporting, or the measurement result of the last reference signal satisfies the condition for triggering layer 1 reporting, that is, the time point corresponding to the last reference signal satisfying the condition is determined as the third time point.

[0140] Exemplarily, 5 reference signals in at least one layer 1 measurement period are measured to obtain 5 measurement results. It is determined that when 2 measurement results satisfy the condition for triggering layer 1 reporting, layer 1 reporting is triggered. For example, if the 4th and 5th measurement results are satisfied, the time point corresponding to the 4th reference signal or the 5th reference signal is determined as the third time point.

[0141] In some embodiments, the measurement can be performed within a specified window. The predetermined window contains five periods. As long as a preset number of the measurement results of the reference signals in the five periods satisfy the condition, the end point of the last period in the five periods is used as the third time point, or the end point of the last period satisfying the reporting condition is used as the third time point.

[0142] Exemplarily, as Figure 4B shown in the schematic diagram, the first duration is T L1-RSRP_measure_period , where T L1-RSRP_measure_period includes one or more layer 1 measurement periods, and the second duration is T first UL channel , where the L1-RSRP RS (RS2) triggering layer 1 reporting is used as the starting point of T first UL channel . The definition of T first UL channel will be the time interval starting from the L1-RSRP RS reported by layer 1 to the PUCCH. The reporting starting point is related to the air channel switching.

[0143] Solution 2:

[0144] In some embodiments, the layer 1 measurement reporting delay includes a first duration, a third duration, and a fourth duration. The first duration is at least one layer 1 measurement period. The third duration is the duration from a third time point to the reference signal closest to a second time point. The third time point is the time point of the reference signal when the terminal device completes the layer 1 measurement and the measurement result of the reference signal meets the condition for triggering layer 1 reporting. The fourth duration is the duration between the reference signal closest to the second time point and the second time point.

[0145] Exemplarily, as Figure 4E shown in the schematic diagram, the first duration is T L1-RSRP_measure_period , which is the measurement period of L1-RSRP; the third duration is T L1-RSRP measure after triggering . The third duration is a time interval, which is the time interval from the L1-RSRP RS that triggers layer 1 reporting to the L1-RSRP RS closest to the PUCCH; the fourth duration is T first UL channel , which is the time interval from the L1-RSRP RS closest to the PUCCH to the PUCCH. The L1-RSRP RS closest to the PUCCH will be used as the starting point of T first UL channel .

[0146] Exemplarily, as Figure 4E shown in the schematic diagram, assuming that RS3 is the closest to the PUCCH, then the starting point of T first UL channel will come from RS3 instead of RS2, and the time interval from RS2 to RS3 also needs to be considered in the total reporting delay.

[0147] Step S2102, the network device sends a reference signal to the terminal device.

[0148] In some embodiments, the network device sends a reference signal to the terminal device within the layer 1 measurement reporting delay based on an event.

[0149] In some embodiments, the network device sends a first reference signal to the terminal device within at least one measurement period starting from a first time point. The measurement result obtained by the terminal device performing layer 1 measurement on the first reference signal is the first measurement result.

[0150] In some embodiments, within the time interval from the third time point to the second time point when the first measurement result meets the reporting condition, the network device sends at least one second reference signal to the terminal device, and the measurement result obtained by the terminal device through layer 1 measurement of the at least one second reference signal is the second measurement result.

[0151] Step S2103, the terminal device measures the reference signal.

[0152] In some embodiments, after the first time point, the terminal device performs layer 1 measurement on the first reference signal sent by the network device and obtains a first measurement result; within the time interval from the third time point to the second time point when the first measurement result meets the reporting condition, it determines the second measurement result of at least one second reference signal; based on at least one of the first measurement result and the second measurement result, it determines whether to send an uplink message at the second time point, and the uplink message indicates or requests an uplink resource for reporting the first measurement result or the second measurement result.

[0153] Solution 1:

[0154] In some embodiments, the terminal device may ignore the layer 1 measurement results obtained within the second time period.

[0155] In some embodiments, the layer 1 measurement results obtained by the terminal device within the first time period will be used as the measurement results for determining whether to perform measurement reporting, while the measurement results obtained within the second time period will be ignored. In other words, regardless of whether the layer 1 measurement results obtained within the second time period will change the decision to trigger measurement reporting, no measurement result reporting will be performed.

[0156] Exemplarily, as Figure 4C shown in the schematic diagram, after the terminal triggers layer 1 reporting and obtains a new L1 measurement result (RS3), regardless of whether the measurement result of RS3 meets the reporting condition, the L1-RSRP of RS2 is still used as the decision for layer 1 reporting.

[0157] Exemplarily, as Figure 4D shown in the schematic diagram, after the terminal triggers layer 1 reporting and obtains a new L1 measurement result (RS3), the L1-RSRP of RS3 will change the decision for layer 1 reporting, but the measurement result of RS3 is ignored.

[0158] In some embodiments, the terminal device may not measure the reference signal received within the second time period.

[0159] In some embodiments, the terminal device may ignore the reference signal received within the second time period. In other words, it does not measure the reference signal received within the second time period, and only uses the layer 1 measurement results obtained within the first time period as the measurement results for layer 1 measurement reporting, so as to achieve the purpose of power saving for the terminal device.

[0160] Solution 2:

[0161] In some embodiments, the terminal device measures at least one reference signal received between the third time point and the second time point, and obtains the layer 1 measurement result of the reference signal closest to the second time point.

[0162] In some embodiments, the terminal device will consider the impact of the new layer 1 measurement result after the layer 1 trigger, that is, between the third time point and the second time point, each received reference signal will be measured, and the layer 1 measurement result of the reference signal closest to the second time point will be determined.

[0163] Exemplarily, as Figure 4F shown in the schematic diagram, the terminal device will perform layer 1 measurements on RS3 and RS4, and determine the layer 1 measurement result of the reference signal RS4 closest to the PUCCH.

[0164] Operation process:

[0165] 1. Trigger point (RS2) → Continuously measure until the nearest RS (RS4);

[0166] 2. If RS4 meets the condition → Request resources through PUCCH;

[0167] 3. Report the result of RS4 on PUSCH ( Figure 4F ).

[0168] Exemplarily, as Figure 4G shown in the schematic diagram, the terminal device will perform layer 1 measurements on RS3, RS4, and RS5, but the layer 1 measurement results of the reference signals between the PUCCH and the PUSCH will be ignored, that is, the layer 1 measurement result of the reference signal RS3 closest to the PUCCH will be determined.

[0169] Step S2104, the terminal device sends the layer 1 measurement result to the network device.

[0170] In some embodiments, within the event-based layer 1 measurement reporting delay, the terminal device sends an uplink message to the network device, and the uplink message is used to indicate or request an uplink message for reporting the layer 1 measurement result.

[0171] In some embodiments, the terminal device can send the layer 1 measurement result corresponding to the triggered layer 1 reporting on the second uplink resource.

[0172] In some embodiments, within the event-based layer 1 measurement reporting delay, the network device receives an uplink message, and the uplink message is used to indicate or request an uplink resource for reporting the layer 1 measurement result.

[0173] In some embodiments, the terminal device sends an uplink message at a second time point based on the layer 1 measurement reporting delay. The uplink message is an identifier indicating an uplink resource carrying the layer 1 measurement result or a request for an uplink resource for reporting the layer 1 measurement result. The layer 1 measurement result is the first or last measurement result that meets the reporting condition obtained since the first time point.

[0174] In some embodiments, the terminal device may send the first or last measurement result that meets the reporting condition obtained within the layer 1 measurement reporting delay to the network device.

[0175] In some embodiments, the network device receives the uplink message sent by the terminal device at the second time point. The uplink message indicates or requests an uplink resource for reporting the first measurement result or the second measurement result.

[0176] In some embodiments, the network device may determine the identifier of the second uplink resource based on the uplink message sent by the terminal device, and then receive the layer 1 measurement result sent by the terminal device through the second uplink resource.

[0177] In some embodiments, the network device may indicate the second uplink resource to the terminal device based on the uplink message sent by the terminal device for the terminal device to report the layer 1 measurement result through the second uplink resource.

[0178] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines whether to send an uplink message at the second time point based on at least one of the first measurement result and the second measurement result, including any of the following: sending an uplink message at the second time point and reporting the first measurement result through the second uplink resource, where the second measurement result meets the reporting condition; sending an uplink message at the second time point and reporting the first measurement result through the second uplink resource, where the second measurement result does not meet the reporting condition; sending an uplink message at the second time point and reporting the last measurement result that meets the reporting condition among the second measurement results.

[0179] Solution 1:

[0180] In some embodiments, the terminal device sends an uplink message at the second time point and reports the first measurement result through the second uplink resource, where the second measurement result meets the reporting condition. In other words, layer 1 measurement is performed on the reference signals received between the third time point and the second time point, but the measurement result is ignored. That is, regardless of whether the second measurement result meets the reporting condition, it does not affect the decision of layer 1 measurement reporting, and the first measurement result is reported to the network device.

[0181] Exemplarily, as Figure 4C shown in the schematic diagram, the new L1 measurement result obtained by the terminal device after triggering layer 1 reporting will be ignored and will not affect the decision of layer 1 reporting.

[0182] In some embodiments, the terminal device sends an uplink message at a second time point and reports a first measurement result through a second uplink resource. The measurement result closest to the first uplink resource in the second measurement result does not meet the reporting condition. In other words, layer 1 measurements are performed on the reference signals received between the third time point and the second time point, but the measurement results do not meet the reporting conditions, which will not affect the decision of layer 1 measurement reporting. That is, the first measurement result is reported to the network device.

[0183] In some embodiments, the terminal device sends an uplink message at a second time point and reports the last measurement result that meets the reporting condition in the second measurement result through the second uplink resource. In other words, layer 1 measurements are performed on the reference signals received between the third time point and the second time point, and the measurement results will affect the decision of layer 1 measurement reporting. That is, the last measurement result that meets the reporting condition among multiple second measurement results is reported to the network device.

[0184] Exemplarily, as Figure 4D shown in the schematic diagram, the new L1 measurement results obtained by the terminal device after triggering layer 1 reporting will be considered. That is, the last measurement result that meets the reporting condition in the new L1 measurement results is reported. The measurement result of RS3 can be reported to the network device.

[0185] Solution 2:

[0186] In some embodiments, at the second time point, the network device receives the uplink message sent by the terminal device through the first uplink resource and receives the layer 1 measurement result of the reference signal closest to the second time point on the second uplink resource.

[0187] In some embodiments, when the layer 1 measurement result of the reference signal closest to the second time point meets the reporting condition, at the second time point, the terminal device sends an uplink message to the network device through the first uplink resource; on the second uplink resource, it sends the layer 1 measurement result of the reference signal closest to the second time point.

[0188] In some embodiments, the terminal device may report the latest measurement result that meets the reporting condition among the measurement results between the third time point and the second time point.

[0189] Exemplarily, as Figure 4F shown in the schematic diagram, there are multiple new layer 1 measurement results, so there may be multiple L1-RSRP measurement periods. Then the L1-RSRP measurement value after triggering the reporting can also be equal to M*T L1-RSRP-measure-period , where M is the number of RSs (RS2) between the RS (RS2) that triggers layer 1 reporting and PUCCH.

[0190] For example, there are also layer 1 measurement results between PUCCH and PUSCH, such as RS4 and RS5, as shown in Figure the schematic diagram shown. The terminal will wait for the PUSCH to send the layer 1 measurement results. The terminal will not consider the impact of the new layer 1 measurement results between PUCCH and PUSCH, but will report the measurement results of RS3.

Terms such as "information", "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "indication", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "domain", "field", "symbol", "symbol", "codebook", "codeword", "codepoint", "bit", "data", "program", "chip", etc. can be replaced with each other.

[0195] In the above embodiments, by defining the layer 1 measurement reporting delay, the terminal device can detect channel changes in a timely manner, and thus report in a timely manner, so as to verify the ability of the terminal to correctly and timely detect channel changes.

[0207] In some embodiments, reference may be made to the steps and their optional implementation manners in other embodiments recorded before or after the specification corresponding to this embodiment, as well as other related parts in the specification, which will not be elaborated herein.

[0208] The following is a specific solution proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure based on layer 1 measurement reporting:

[0209] As ​ shown in the schematic diagram, for the reporting triggered by layer 1 events, different from layer 3, layer 1 measurements are faster. Between the time point when the terminal triggers layer 1 reporting and the time point when the uplink resource arrives, the terminal may obtain new layer 1 measurement results. For example, the UL resource is PUCCH.

[0210] Solution 1: Continuous measurement is still performed between T1 - T2, but the measurement results during this period are ignored.

[0211] The measurement reporting delay based on event triggering is as follows: T L1-RSRP_measure_period+ T first UL channel where the definition of T first UL channel will be the time interval starting from the L1 - RSRP RS for reporting from layer 1 to PUCCH, and the reporting starting point is related to the air interface channel switching.

[0212] As ​ shown in the schematic diagram, the L1 - RSRP RS (RS2) that triggers layer 1 reporting will be used as the starting point of T first UL channel

[0213] ​In this case, the terminal can obtain new L1 measurement results (RS3) after triggering layer 1 reporting. For example, there are the following two examples:

[0214] 1. After layer 1 reporting, the L1-RSRP of the RS still maintains the decision of layer 1 reporting, as shown in the schematic diagram ​ shown.

[0215] 2. After layer 1 reporting, the L1-RSRP of the RS will change the decision of layer 1 reporting, as shown in the schematic diagram ​ shown.

[0216] For the above two examples, the terminal will ignore the L1-RSRP of the RS after the layer 1 event is triggered, regardless of whether it will change the triggering decision, that is, if the measurement result of RS3 does not meet the reporting conditions, no reporting will be performed.

[0217] Optionally, the optional implementation of Scheme 1 can refer to the optional implementation of Scheme 1 in ​ .

[0218] Scheme 2: After the layer 1 reporting is triggered, the terminal considers the new layer 1 measurement results.

[0219] The overall reporting delay is defined as follows: T L1-RSRP_measure_period +T L1-RSRP measure after triggering +T first UL channel .

[0220] The above reporting delay includes three parts:

[0221] T L1-RSRP_measure_period is the measurement period of L1-RSRP;

[0222] T L1-RSRP measure after triggering is the time interval from the L1-RSRP RS that triggers layer 1 reporting to the L1-RSRP RS closest to PUCCH;

[0223] T first UL channel is the time interval from the L1-RSRP RS closest to PUCCH to PUCCH.

[0224] Different from Scheme 1, the L1-RSRP RS closest to PUCCH will be used as the starting point of T first UL channel , as shown in ​The schematic diagram shown. In this solution, the terminal will consider the impact of the new layer 1 measurement results after the layer 1 trigger, T first UL channel The starting point will be the latest RS closest to the PUCCH, as ​ shown. Assuming that RS3 is the closest to the PUCCH, then T first UL channel The starting point will be from RS3, rather than RS2, and the time interval from RS2 to RS3 also needs to be considered in the total reporting delay.

[0225] In Solution 2, as ​ shown in the schematic diagram, if there are multiple new layer 1 measurement results, there may be multiple L1-RSRP measurement periods, then the L1-RSRP measurement value after the trigger for reporting can also be equal to M*T L1-RSRP-measure-period , where M is the number of RSs between the RS (RS2) that triggers the layer 1 report and the PUCCH.

[0226] In addition, there are also layer 1 measurement results between the PUCCH and the PUSCH, such as RS4, RS5, as ​ shown in the schematic diagram. The terminal will wait for the PUSCH to send the layer 1 measurement results, and the terminal will not consider the impact of the new layer 1 measurement results between the PUCCH and the PUSCH, that is, the delay between the PUCCH and the PUSCH will not be included in the total reporting delay.

[0227] Optionally, the optional implementation method of Solution 2 can refer to the optional implementation method of Solution 2 in ​ .

[0228] In the above embodiments, ​ ​ The various steps in and the different methods in the above Solution 1 and Solution 2 can be executed separately or in combination. For example ​ The step S2101 in and ​ The step S3102 in can be executed in combination; ​ The step S2103 in and ​ The step S3101 in can be executed in combination; ​ The steps S2101 - step 2104 in and ​ The steps S3101 - step S3102 in can be executed in combination; ​ Or ​ The steps in can be executed in combination with the above Solution 1, ​ Or ​ The steps in can be executed in combination with the above Solution 2, but not limited to this.
