[0148] L1-RSRP (Level 1 Reference Signal Received Power) is a key metric used in the context of beam management in wireless communication systems, especially 5G networks.

[0149] The L1-RSRP measurement and reporting process may include the following steps:

[0150] (1) Beam sweeping: The base station sends reference signals in various directions.

[0151] (2) Measurement: The UE measures the received power of the reference signal, namely L1-RSRP.

[0152] (3) Reporting: The UE reports the L1-RSRP to the base station.

[0153] (4) Beam selection: The base station analyzes the L1-RSRP and selects the beam direction with the highest received power and communicates in the reverse direction of that beam.

[0154] In some embodiments, L1-RSRP may be used for cell beam management (BM) and for determining the target of data transmission.

[0155] In some embodiments, L1 beam management (L1 BM) based on L1-RSRP can be extended to measure other cells, such as cells with different physical cell identifiers (PCIs). Accordingly, the UE's measurement behavior can include: the UE measuring the serving cell and cells with different PCIs.

[0156] Optionally, L1 BM can include beam-related operations performed at the physical layer of network devices to ensure efficient communication links and optimized network performance. Beam management typically involves multiple aspects, including beam scanning, beam measurement, beam selection, and beam failure recovery. The processes of beam scanning, beam measurement, and beam selection can be referenced in the L1-RSRP measurement and reporting process described above. Beam failure recovery involves indicating new beam resources, triggering beam recovery procedures, and updating internal configurations when a beam link fails, aiming to ensure communication continuity and reliability.

[0157] In the beam measurement operation involved in L1 BM (ie, the measurement operation associated with L1 BM), it is necessary to consider the measurement behavior of the UE in the case where the measurement of the serving cell and the measurement of the cell with different PCI conflict.

[0158] Optionally, in L1 BM, the cell to be measured may be configured in csi-MeasConfig (Channel State Information-Measurement Configuration) and / or csi-ReportConfig (Channel State Information-Report Configuration).

[0159] In some embodiments, in L1 BM, when there is a conflict between measuring the serving cell and measuring a cell with a different PCI, the UE's measurement behavior can be restricted by defining a sharing factor P. Specifically,

[0160] In FR2 (FR stands for Frequency Range, spectrum range), the L1-RSRP measurement period between cells of different PCIs is T L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP Please refer to Table 1.

[0161] Table 1:

[0162]

[0163]

[0164] In some embodiments, if the SSB for serving cell measurement is configured for L1-RSRP measurement and is valid according to P1, and the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of a cell with a different PCI have symbol overlap or are adjacent (in the time domain), then:

[0165]

[0166] p=p2,if P2*TSSB_CDP >P1*T SSB_SC

[0167] P=2*P2,if P2*T SSB_CDP =P1*T SSB_SC

[0168] P=P2,otherwise

[0169] T SMTCperiod That is, the pre-configured SMTC (SSB-based Measurement Timing Configuration) period. SSB_SC That is, the SSB period of the serving cell.

[0170] In some embodiments, based on mobility research, L1-RSRP can be further extended to neighbor cells (L1 Triggered Mobility, LTM for short). Accordingly, the UE's measurement behavior may include: the UE's measurement of the serving cell and neighbor cells.

[0171] Optionally, L1 mobility management primarily involves mobility-related operations performed at the L1 layer, ensuring that terminal device communications are not interrupted during network device mobility while optimizing network performance and resource utilization. L1 mobility management is typically associated with underlying signal processing, channel measurement, and the decision-making processes based on these measurements. Channel measurement and estimation refers to the fact that at the L1 layer, network devices need to continuously measure (i.e., L1 LTM-related measurement operations) and estimate the channel conditions between terminal devices and network devices. Handover decisions refer to the fact that, based on channel measurement results, the L1 layer may participate in the handover decision-making process. Handover refers to switching a terminal device from one base station or cell to another to ensure communication continuity and quality. At the L1 layer, handover decisions may be based on underlying signal strength or quality thresholds. Beam management refers to the selection, adjustment, and fault recovery of beams in networks that support beamforming to improve signal quality and system capacity.

[0172] In L1 LTM, it is necessary to consider the UE's measurement behavior when a conflict occurs between measuring the serving cell and measuring the neighboring cell.

[0173] Optionally, in L1 LTM, the cell to be measured may be configured in LTM-CSI-ResourceConfig (LTM-Channel State Information-Resource Configuration) and / or LTM-CSI-ReportConfig (LTM-Channel State Information-ReportConfiguration).

[0174] In some embodiments, in L1 LTM, when there is a conflict between measuring the serving cell and measuring the neighboring cell, the measurement behavior of the UE can be restricted by defining a sharing factor P. Specifically,

[0175] In FR2, the intra-frequency L1-RSRP measurement period T for UEs that do not have the capability to measure using RTD (Round-Trip Delay) > CP (Cyclic Prefix) Intra_L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB Please refer to Table 2.

[0176] Table 2:

[0177]

[0178] In the FR2 band, for UEs that do not have the ability to [use RTD>CP for measurement], the following are defined: L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra The value of , for UEs with the [capability to use RTD>CP for measurement], defines: T L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra The value of P is defined by L1_sharing , resolve conflicts between the serving cell and neighboring cells.

[0179] Among them, P L1_sharing is defined as:

[0180] (1) When the number of neighbor cells configured for SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement is 1,

[0181] In the time domain, when the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of the neighboring cell have overlapping or adjacent symbols, P L1_sharing =2;

[0182] In other cases, P L1_sharing =1.

[0183] (2) When the number of neighbor cells configured with SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement is greater than 1,

[0184] If the TCI state of any cell in the intra-frequency neighbor cell or the inter-frequency neighbor cell without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, P L1_sharing =3*N Neighbor_Cell ; Among them, N Neighbor_Cell is the number of neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list (for measurements without gaps in intra-frequency and inter-frequency);

[0185] (3) In other cases, P L1_sharing =3*N Neighbor_Cell_in_list , where N Neighbor_Cell_in_list That is, the number of neighbor cells (including intra-frequency neighbor cells and inter-frequency gapless neighbor cells) whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list. For any other cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list, no requirements are defined.

[0186] With the development of measurement technology, network equipment can simultaneously configure the UE to perform two measurement tasks: L1 BM (L1-RSRP measurement for BM) and L1 LTM (L1-RSRP for mobility). However, when the UE performs these two measurement tasks, L1-RSRP measurement conflicts may occur. Therefore, the specific behavior of the UE performing these two measurement tasks can be defined, and a mechanism is proposed to handle L1-RSRP measurement conflicts involved in performing L1 BM-related measurement operations and L1 LTM-related measurement operations.

[0187] When the UE is configured to simultaneously perform the above two measurement tasks: L1 BM and L1 LTM, there are the following three cells that need to be measured: a serving cell, a cell with a different PCI, and a neighbor cell.

[0188] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an interaction between a measurement configuration method and a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the above method includes:

[0189] In step 201, a network device determines configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used to: when measurement resources required for an L1 BM-associated measurement operation overlap with measurement resources required for an L1 LTM-associated measurement operation, restrict the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and / or the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation, and / or increase the measurement duration of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and / or the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation.

[0190] Optionally, the network device may determine the configuration information in FR2 according to whether the UE has the capability of performing measurement using RTD>CP.

[0191] Optionally, the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 BM association (hereinafter referred to as the first measurement resources) and the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 LTM association (hereinafter referred to as the second measurement resources) overlap, which may include partial or complete overlap of the first measurement resources and the second measurement resources, thereby resulting in measurement conflicts such as inaccurate measurements due to the overlapping parts of the first measurement resources and the second measurement resources.

[0192] Optionally, measurement restriction on the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and / or the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation may include processing only one type of measurement at a time, for example, may include but is not limited to: performing L1 BM-associated measurement operations and L1 LTM-associated measurement operations separately (that is, not performing L1 BM-associated measurement operations and L1 LTM-associated measurement operations at the same time), only performing L1 BM-associated measurement operations, only performing L1 LTM-associated measurement operations, etc., and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0193] Optionally, increasing the measurement duration of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and / or the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation may include but is not limited to: increasing the total measurement duration, and sequentially performing the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation within the total measurement duration.

[0194] Step 202: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Correspondingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0195] Optionally, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the connection method between the network device and the UE. The network device can connect to the UE wirelessly or via a wired connection. Accordingly, the network device can use a corresponding communication method based on the connection method between the network device and the UE to send configuration information to the UE.

[0196] Step 203: The UE performs L1 BM-related measurement operations and / or L1 LTM-related measurement operations according to the above configuration information.

[0197] Optionally, when the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource overlap, the UE may, according to the configuration information, perform measurement restrictions on the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and / or the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation, and / or, according to the measurement duration indicated in the configuration information, perform the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and / or the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation.

[0198] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource overlap, the network device defines the measurement behavior of the UE through configuration information; in this way, the UE can perform L1 BM-associated measurement operations and / or L1 LTM-associated measurement operations according to the received configuration information, thereby avoiding performing L1 BM-associated measurement operations and L1 LTM-associated measurement operations at the same time, and avoiding L1-RSRP measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by the two.

[0199] Referring to the above, the measurement behavior of the UE involved in L1 BM may include: the UE's measurement of the serving cell and the cell with different PCI; the measurement behavior of the UE involved in L1 LTM may include: the UE's measurement of the serving cell and the neighbor cell; based on this, the measurement conflict between L1 BM and L1 LTM may include: the measurement midway between the three measurement behaviors of the UE's measurement of the serving cell, the UE's measurement of the cell with different PCI, and the UE's measurement of the neighbor cell.

[0200] In some embodiments, the measurement resources required for performing the L1 BM-related measurement operation overlap with the measurement resources required for performing the L1 LTM-related measurement operation, and may include at least two of the following overlaps:

[0201] Measurement resources required to perform measurements on the serving cell;

[0202] Measurement resources required to measure cells with different PCIs;

[0203] The measurement resources required to measure neighboring cells.

[0204] Optionally, the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell are the measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell. The measurement resources required for measuring cells with different PCIs are the measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells with different PCIs. The measurement resources required for measuring neighboring cells are the measurement resources required by the UE to measure neighboring cells.

[0205] Optionally, the overlap of the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource may include: ① The measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell overlap with the measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells of different PCIs. In this case, it can also be regarded as an overlap of different measurement resources required for L1 BM; ② The measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell overlap with the measurement resources required by the UE to measure the neighboring cell. In this case, it can also be regarded as an overlap of different measurement resources required for L1 LTM; ③ The measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells of different PCIs overlap with the measurement resources required by the UE to measure the neighboring cells; ④ The measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell, the measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells of different PCIs, and the measurement resources required for measuring neighboring cells all overlap. The specific overlapping methods are not listed one by one in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0206] It can be understood that the “measurement resource overlap” described in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include “partial measurement resource overlap” or “full measurement resource overlap”. Regardless of the overlapping method, it is within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0207] In some embodiments, the limiting the measurement operation associated with the L1 BM and / or the measurement operation associated with the L1 LTM may include:

[0208] Perform a measurement operation associated with L1 BM or a measurement operation associated with L1 LTM.

[0209] Optionally, measurement restrictions are performed on the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and / or the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation, that is, the UE does not perform the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation at the same time, that is, the UE performs the L1BM-associated measurement operation and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation in sequence.

[0210] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is no restriction on the order in which the UE performs L1 BM-associated measurement operations and L1 LTM-associated measurement operations. For example, the UE may first perform L1 BM-associated measurement operations and then perform L1 LTM-associated measurement operations; or the UE may first perform L1 LTM-associated measurement operations and then perform L1 BM-associated measurement operations, as long as the L1 BM-associated measurement operations and L1 LTM-associated measurement operations are not performed simultaneously.

[0211] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, measurement restrictions are imposed on L1 BM-related measurement operations and / or L1 LTM-related measurement operations. In this way, L1 BM-related measurement operations can be performed sequentially through first measurement resources, and L1 LTM-related measurement operations can be performed through second measurement resources. This achieves multiplexing of overlapping resources in the measurement resources required for performing L1 BM-related measurement operations and L1 LTM-related measurement operations in the time domain, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required for L1BM-related measurement operations and L1 LTM-related measurement operations when both are performed simultaneously.

[0212] See also Figure 3 , the above method may include:

[0213] Step 301: The network device determines configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used to restrict L1 BM measurement when measurement resources required for L1 BM-related measurement operations overlap with measurement resources required for L1 LTM-related measurement operations.

[0214] Optionally, the measurement resources required for performing the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the measurement resources required for performing the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation may include, but are not limited to, SSBs required by both. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the measurement resources required for performing the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the measurement resources required for performing the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation overlap, including at least two of the following SSBs having symbol overlap:

[0215] The first SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement associated with L1 LTM on a component carrier (CC);

[0216] The second SSB required to perform at least one of the following measurements: RLM (Radio Link Monitor), BFD (Beam Failure Detection), and CBD (Candidate Beam Detection) on the serving cell, on a CC or different CCs within the same bandwidth;

[0217] The third SSB is required to perform at least one measurement operation of L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD, and CBD on cells with different PCIs.

[0218] Optionally, the existence of symbol overlap between at least two SSBs among the first SSB, the second SSB and the third SSB may specifically include: the existence of OFDM symbol overlap between at least two SSBs among the first SSB, the second SSB and the third SSB.

[0219] Optionally, the existence of symbol overlap between at least two SSBs among the first SSB, the second SSB and the third SSB may include but is not limited to: full or partial symbol overlap between at least two SSBs among the first SSB, the second SSB and the third SSB.

[0220] Step 302: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Correspondingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0221] Step 303: The UE performs L1 BM-associated measurement operations according to the above configuration information.

[0222] In some embodiments, the L1 BM-associated measurement operation may include:

[0223] Any one of the first SSB, the second SSB and the third SSB is used as a first target SSB, and a measurement operation corresponding to the first target SSB is performed.

[0224] Optionally, when performing the measurement operation corresponding to the first target SSB, the required measurement period may be longer than the measurement period required for performing L1-RSRP through SSB.

[0225] Optionally, when the first SSB is used as the first target SSB, the measurement operation may include: the UE performs L1-RSRP measurement for L1 LTM on one CC.

[0226] Optionally, when the second SSB is used as the first target SSB, the measurement operation performed may include: the UE performs at least one measurement operation of RLM, BFD and CBD on the serving cell in one CC or different CCs in the same bandwidth.

[0227] Optionally, when the third SSB is used as the first target SSB, the measurement operation performed may include: the UE performs at least one measurement operation of L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD and CBD on cells with different PCIs.

[0228] See also Figure 4 , the above method may include:

[0229] Step 401: The network device determines configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used to restrict L1 LTM measurements when measurement resources required for L1 BM-related measurement operations overlap with measurement resources required for L1 LTM-related measurement operations.

[0230] As described above, optionally, the measurement resources required for performing an L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the measurement resources required for performing an L1 LTM-associated measurement operation may include, but are not limited to, the SSBs required by both. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the measurement resources required for performing an L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the measurement resources required for performing an L1 LTM-associated measurement operation overlap, which may include at least two of the following SSBs having symbol overlap:

[0231] The fourth SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement of cells with different PCIs on a CC;

[0232] A fifth SSB required for performing at least one of RLM, BFD, and CBD measurements on the serving cell in the same CC or different CCs within the same bandwidth;

[0233] The sixth SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement of neighbor cells for L1 LTM.

[0234] Optionally, the existence of symbol overlap between at least two SSBs among the fourth SSB, the fifth SSB and the sixth SSB may specifically include: the existence of OFDM symbol overlap between at least two SSBs among the fourth SSB, the fifth SSB and the sixth SSB.

[0235] Optionally, the symbol overlap of at least two of the fourth SSB, the fifth SSB and the sixth SSB may include but is not limited to: at least two of the fourth SSB, the fifth SSB and the sixth SSB are located in the same OFDM symbol.

[0236] Step 402: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Correspondingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0237] Step 403: The UE performs L1 LTM-associated measurement operations according to the above configuration information.

[0238] In some embodiments, the L1 LTM associated measurement operation may include:

[0239] Any one of the fourth SSB, the fifth SSB and the sixth SSB is used as a second target SSB, and a measurement operation corresponding to the second target SSB is performed.

[0240] Optionally, when performing the measurement operation corresponding to the second target SSB, the required measurement period may be longer than the measurement period required for performing RLM or L1-RSRP through SSB.

[0241] Optionally, when the fourth SSB is used as the second target SSB, the measurement operation may include: the UE performs L1-RSRP measurement on cells with different PCIs on one CC.

[0242] Optionally, when the fifth SSB is used as the second target SSB, the measurement operation may include: the UE performs at least one measurement operation of RLM, BFD and CBD on the serving cell in the same CC or different CCs in the same bandwidth.

[0243] Optionally, when the sixth SSB is used as the second target SSB, the measurement operation may include: the UE performs L1-RSRP measurement for L1 LTM on the neighboring cell.

[0244] See also Figure 5 , the above method may include:

[0245] Step 501: The network device determines configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used to increase the measurement duration for performing L1 BM when measurement resources required for performing L1 BM-related measurement operations overlap with measurement resources required for performing L1 LTM-related measurement operations.

[0246] In some embodiments, the measurement resources required for performing the L1 BM-related measurement operation and the measurement resources required for performing the L1 LTM-related measurement operation overlap in time, including at least two of the following overlaps:

[0247] Measurement resources required to perform measurements on the serving cell;

[0248] Measurement resources required to measure cells with different PCIs;

[0249] The measurement resources required to measure neighboring cells.

[0250] Optionally, the overlap of the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource may also include the overlap of the above-mentioned SSBs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0251] In some embodiments, increasing the measurement duration of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation may include: extending a first sharing factor and / or a second sharing factor of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation.

[0252] Optionally, the measurement duration of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation may be increased by extending the first sharing factor and / or the second sharing factor of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation.

[0253] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by increasing the measurement duration of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation, it is possible to perform a measurement behavior using only a portion of resources within a certain time period. That is, the L1 BM-associated measurement operation can be performed sequentially using the first measurement resource, and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation can be performed using the second measurement resource. This achieves multiplexing of overlapping resources in the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource in the time domain, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required for the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation when both are performed simultaneously.

[0254] In some embodiments, the first sharing factor and / or the second sharing factor for extending the measurement operation for L1 BM association may include at least one of the following:

[0255] The measurement duration corresponding to the first sharing factor is divided into three parts, respectively used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighbor cells;

[0256] The measurement duration corresponding to the second sharing factor is divided into four parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.

[0257] Optionally, the measurement duration corresponding to the first sharing factor is divided into three parts, that is, P=P2*3. Among them, "3" (the above-mentioned first sharing factor) indicates that the measurement duration is divided into three parts, which are respectively used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighboring cells. In this way, overlapping resources among the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, the measurement resources required for measuring cells with different PCIs, and the measurement resources required for measuring neighboring cells can be reused in the time domain to measure the serving cell, the cells with different PCIs, and the neighboring cells in turn, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by the serving cell, the cells with different PCIs, and the neighboring cells when measuring the serving cell, the cells with different PCIs, and the neighboring cells at the same time.

[0258] Optionally, the measurement duration corresponding to the second sharing factor is divided into four parts, that is, P = P2 * 4. Here, "4" (the above-mentioned second sharing factor) indicates that the measurement duration is divided into four parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list, and measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list. In this way, in the time domain, the overlapping resources of the measurement resources required for measuring the service cell, the measurement resources required for measuring cells with different PCIs, the measurement resources required for measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list, and the measurement resources required for measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list can be multiplexed to measure the service cell, the cells with different PCIs, the neighbor cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list, and the neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list in turn, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of the measurement resources required for the service cell, the cells with different PCIs, the neighbor cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list, and the neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list when measuring the service cell, the cells with different PCIs, the neighbor cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list, and the neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list at the same time.

[0259] Step 502: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Correspondingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0260] In step 503, the UE performs L1 BM according to the configuration information. That is, the UE performs L1 BM-associated measurement operations using the measurement duration corresponding to the first sharing factor and / or the second sharing factor.

[0261] Optionally, referring to Table 1 above, the first sharing factor and the second sharing factor are P in Table 1, and the measurement duration corresponding to the first sharing factor and the measurement duration corresponding to the second sharing factor are T in Table 1. L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP .

[0262] Accordingly, the measurement duration corresponding to the first sharing factor and the measurement duration corresponding to the second sharing factor can be determined in combination with different configuration information, and the L1 BM-associated measurement operation is performed using the determined measurement duration. In this way, the above-mentioned overlapping resources can be reused in the time domain to measure the involved cells in sequence, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by each cell when measuring each cell at the same time.

[0263] Optionally, in step 503, the L1 BM-related measurement operation may be performed in combination with the manner of performing the L1 BM-related measurement operation involved in step 303, which will not be described in detail here.

[0264] See also Figure 6 , the above method may include:

[0265] Step 601: The network device determines configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used to increase the measurement duration for performing L1LTM when measurement resources required for performing L1BM-related measurement operations overlap with measurement resources required for performing L1LTM-related measurement operations.

[0266] In some embodiments, the measurement resources required for performing the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the measurement resources required for performing the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation overlap in time, which may include at least two of the following overlaps:

[0267] Measurement resources required to perform measurements on the serving cell;

[0268] Measurement resources required to measure cells with different PCIs;

[0269] The measurement resources required to measure neighboring cells.

[0270] Optionally, the measurement resources required by the L1 BM and the measurement resources required by the L1 LTM overlap, and may also include the overlap of the above-mentioned SSBs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0271] In some embodiments, increasing the measurement duration of the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation may include: extending a third sharing factor of the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation.

[0272] Optionally, the measurement duration of the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation may be increased by extending the third sharing factor of the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation.

[0273] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by increasing the measurement duration for performing the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation, it is possible to perform a measurement behavior using only a portion of resources within a certain time period. That is, the L1 BM-associated measurement operation can be performed sequentially using the first measurement resource, and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation can be performed using the second measurement resource. This achieves time domain multiplexing of overlapping resources between the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required for the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation when both are performed simultaneously.

[0274] In some embodiments, the third sharing factor for extending the measurement operation for L1 LTM association may include:

[0275] When the number of neighbor cells is a first preset value and any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring the neighbor cell, and measuring cells with different PCIs respectively have overlapping or adjacent symbols, the third sharing factor is set to 3;

[0276] When the number of neighbor cells is a second preset value and SSBs required for measuring the serving cell and the neighbor cell respectively have overlapping or adjacent symbols, setting the third sharing factor to 2;

[0277] When the number of neighbor cells is a third preset value and there is no symbol overlap or adjacency between any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring the neighbor cell, and measuring cells with different PCIs, the third sharing factor is set to 1.

[0278] Optionally, the number of neighbor cells can be configured according to actual communication needs, that is, the first preset value, the second preset value, and the third preset value are determined according to actual communication needs. As an example, the first preset value, the second preset value, and the third preset value can all be set to 1.

[0279] Optionally, when the number of neighbor cells is a first preset value and any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring the neighbor cell, and measuring cells with different PCIs respectively have overlapping or adjacent symbols, by setting the third sharing factor to 3, that is, P L1_sharing =3. In this way, overlapping resources among the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, the measurement resources required for measuring cells with different PCIs, and the measurement resources required for measuring neighbor cells can be reused in the time domain. The serving cell, the cells with different PCIs, and the neighbor cells can be measured in sequence, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required for the serving cell, the cells with different PCIs, and the neighbor cells when measurements of the serving cell, the cells with different PCIs, and the neighbor cells are performed simultaneously.

[0280] Optionally, when the number of neighbor cells is a second preset value and the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell and the neighbor cell respectively have overlapping or adjacent symbols, by setting the third sharing factor to 2, that is, P L1_sharing =2. In this way, overlapping resources of the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell and the measurement resources required for measuring the neighbor cells can be reused in the time domain. The serving cell and the neighbor cells can be measured in sequence, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by the two cells when the serving cell and neighbor cell measurements are performed simultaneously.

[0281] Optionally, when the number of neighbor cells is a third preset value and there is no symbol overlap or contiguousness between any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring the neighbor cell, and measuring cells with different PCIs, the third sharing factor is set to 1, that is, P L1_sharing =1. In this way, since there is no symbol overlap or contiguousness between any two items of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring the neighbor cell, and measuring the cell with a different PCI, the measurement resources required by each of the three cells can be used simultaneously for the corresponding measurements. Measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by the three cells will not occur, thereby improving measurement efficiency.

[0282] In some embodiments, the third sharing factor of the extended L1 LTM associated measurement operation includes:

[0283] When the number of neighbor cells is greater than a fourth preset value and the TCI status of the intra-frequency neighbor cells or the inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, the third sharing factor is set to: 4 multiplied by the number of cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list;

[0284] When the number of neighbor cells is greater than the fifth preset value and the TCI status of at least one cell among the intra-frequency neighbor cells or the inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, the third sharing factor is set to: 4 multiplied by the number of cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list.

[0285] Optionally, the number of neighbor cells can be configured according to actual communication requirements, that is, the fourth preset value and the fifth preset value are determined according to actual communication requirements. As an example, the fourth preset value and the fifth preset value can both be set to 1.

[0286] Optionally, when the number of neighbor cells is greater than a fourth preset value and the TCI states of the intra-frequency neighbor cells or the inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps are not in the active TCI state list, the third sharing factor is set to the product of 4 and the number of cells whose TCI states are not in the active TCI state list, that is, P L1_sharing =4*N Neighbor_Cell ; Among them, N Neighbor_CellIt is the number of neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list (used for measurement without gaps within the frequency and between frequencies); in this way, the overlapping resources of the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, the measurement resources required for measuring cells with different PCIs, the measurement resources required for measuring intra-frequency neighbor cells, and the measurement resources required for measuring inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps can be multiplexed in the time domain, and the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, intra-frequency neighbor cells, and inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps are measured in turn, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by each cell when measuring the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, intra-frequency neighbor cells, and inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps at the same time.

[0287] Optionally, when the number of neighbor cells is a fifth preset value and the TCI status of at least one of the intra-frequency neighbor cells or the inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, the third sharing factor is set to 4 multiplied by the number of cells in the active TCI state list, that is, P L1_sharing =4*N Neighbor_Cell_in_list , where N Neighbor_Cell_in_list That is, the number of neighbor cells (including intra-frequency neighbor cells and inter-frequency gapless neighbor cells) in the TCI state in the active TCI state list; in this way, in the time domain, the overlapping resources of the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, the measurement resources required for measuring cells with different PCIs, the measurement resources required for measuring intra-frequency neighbor cells, and the measurement resources required for measuring inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps can be multiplexed, and the serving cell, the cells with different PCIs, the intra-frequency neighbor cells, and the inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps are measured in turn, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of measurement resources required by each cell when measuring the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, intra-frequency neighbor cells, and inter-frequency neighbor cells without gaps at the same time.

[0288] Optionally, when the number of neighbor cells is a third preset value and there is no symbol overlap or adjacency between any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring the neighbor cell, and measuring the cells with different PCIs, the third sharing factor is set to 1. In this way, since there is no symbol overlap or adjacency between any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring the neighbor cell, and measuring the cells with different PCIs, the corresponding measurements can be performed using the measurement resources required by each of them at the same time, and there will be no measurement conflict caused by the overlap of the measurement resources required by the three, thereby improving the measurement efficiency.

[0289] Step 602: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Correspondingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0290] In step 603, the UE performs L1 LTM-related measurement operations according to the configuration information. That is, the UE performs L1 LTM-related measurement operations using the measurement duration corresponding to the third sharing factor.

[0291] Optionally, referring to Table 2 above, the third sharing factor is P in Table 2. L1_sharing The measurement duration corresponding to the third sharing factor is T in Table 2 L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP .

[0292] Accordingly, the measurement duration corresponding to the third sharing factor can be determined in combination with different configuration information, and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation can be performed using the determined measurement duration. In this way, the overlapping resources can be reused in the time domain to measure the involved cells in sequence, thereby avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by each cell when measuring each cell simultaneously.

[0293] Optionally, in step 603, the L1 BM-associated measurement operation may be performed in combination with the manner of performing the L1 BM-associated measurement operation involved in step 403, which will not be described in detail here.

[0294] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a mechanism for handling L1-RSRP measurement conflicts associated with L1 BM and L1 LTM. Specifically, two methods are defined for handling measurement conflicts between L1 BM and L1 LTM when the SSBs of cells with different PCIs overlap with the SSBs of neighboring cells.

[0295] Method 1 (corresponding to the following case 1): When the SSB resources configured as L1-RSRP for L1 BM overlap with the SSB resources configured as L1-RSRP for L1 LTM, measurement restrictions are defined.

[0296] Method 2 (corresponding to Case 2 below): define a sharing factor for L1-RSRP measurement configured between L1 BM and L1 LTM.

[0297] A. Case 1: Define measurement restrictions between these cells.

[0298] When the SSB required for measuring cells with different PCIs overlaps with the SSB required for measuring neighbor cells, the UE selects one of the SSBs to perform the corresponding measurement process.

[0299] A-A1. Example 1 for Case 1: Defining measurement limits for L1 LTM.

[0300] Example 1: For FR2, for UEs that do not have [RTD>CP measurement capability] and UEs that have [RTD>CP measurement capability], when ① [SSB required for L1-RSRP (reference signal received power of L1 layer) measurement based on LTM (Lower Layer Triggered Mobility, lower layer (L1 or L2) triggered mobility) on one CC (Component Carrier) (the fourth SSB above)], ② [RSB required for RLM (Radio Link Monitor), BFD (Beam Failure Detection) or CBD (Candidate Beam Detection) measurement associated with serving cell measurement on one CC or different CCs in the same bandwidth (the fifth SSB above)] or ③ [SSB required for L-RSRP, RLM, BFD or CBD associated with cell measurement of different PCIs (the sixth SSB above)] there is OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) When the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols overlap completely or partially, the UE performs the corresponding measurement process through only one of the SSBs (the second target SSB mentioned above) instead of performing the corresponding measurement process through all SSBs.

[0301] Due to the above measurement restrictions, the measurement period of RLM-based SSB may be longer than the measurement period of L1-RSRP-based SSB.

[0302] A-A2. Example 2 for Case 1: Defining measurement limits for L1 BM.

[0303] Example 2: For FR2, when ① [the SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement of cells with different PCIs on one CC (the above-mentioned first SSB)] and ② [the SSB required for RLM, BFD or CBD measurement associated with the serving cell measurement on the same CC (the above-mentioned second SSB)] or ③ [the SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement of neighbor cells on different CCs in the same bandwidth (the above-mentioned third SSB)] are located in the same OFDM symbol, the UE performs the corresponding measurement process only through one of the SSBs (the above-mentioned first target SSB), rather than through all SSBs.

[0304] Due to the above measurement restrictions, the measurement period required for SSB based on L1-RSRP measurement may be longer.

[0305] B. Case 2: Extending the measurement duration by defining a sharing factor

[0306] If the SSBs required for measuring cells with different PCIs completely or partially overlap with the SSBs used for measuring neighboring cells, the UE cannot measure both simultaneously. To address this, the UE's total measurement duration can be extended to measure cells with different PCIs and neighboring cells one by one using the corresponding SSBs. The key idea behind this mechanism is to calculate the total number of SSBs required for cell measurement and share the measurement duration between them.

[0307] B-B1. Example 1 for Case 2: Extending the measurement time of L1 BM

[0308] Example 3: T of cells with different PCIs in FR2 L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP Please refer to Table 1 above.

[0309] In some embodiments, when the UE is configured to perform L1 BM and L1 LTM, if the SSB for serving cell measurement is configured for L1-RSRP measurement and is valid according to P1, and the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of a cell with a different PCI have symbol overlap or are adjacent (in the time domain), then:

[0310] (1)P=P2*3.

[0311] Wherein, "3" (the first sharing factor) indicates that the measurement duration is divided into three parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighbor cells;

[0312] (2)P=P2*4.

[0313] Among them, "4" (the second sharing factor mentioned above) means that the measurement time is divided into four parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and measuring neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.

[0314] B-B2. Example 2 for Case 2: Extending the measurement time of L1 LTM

[0315] Example 4: In FR2, there is no ability to measure using RTD>CP Intra_L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB Please refer to Table 2 above.

[0316] In the FR2 band, for UEs that do not have the ability to [use RTD>CP for measurement], the following are defined: L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intraThe value of , for UEs with the [capability to use RTD>CP for measurement], defines: T L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra The value of P is defined by L1_sharing , resolve conflicts between the serving cell and neighboring cells.

[0317] In the case where the UE is configured to perform L1 BM-related measurement operations and L1 LTM-related measurement operations, P L1_sharing (the third sharing factor mentioned above) is defined as:

[0318] (1) When the number of neighbor cells configured for SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement is 1,

[0319] In the time domain, when the SSB of the serving cell, the SSB of the neighboring cell, and the SSB of cells with different PCIs have overlapping or adjacent symbols, P L1_sharing =3;

[0320] In the time domain, when the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of the neighboring cell have overlapping or adjacent symbols, P L1_sharing =2;

[0321] In other cases, P L1_sharing =1.

[0322] (2) When the number of neighbor cells configured with SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement is greater than 1,

[0323] If the TCI state of any cell in the intra-frequency neighbor cell or the inter-frequency neighbor cell without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, P L1_sharing =4*N Neighbor_Cell ; Among them, N Neighbor_Cell is the number of neighbor cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list (for measurements without gaps in intra-frequency and inter-frequency);

[0324] (3) In other cases, P L1_sharing =4*N Neighbor_Cell_in_list , where N Neighbor_Cell_in_list That is, the number of neighbor cells (including intra-frequency neighbor cells and inter-frequency gapless neighbor cells) whose TCI status is in the active TCI state list. For any other cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI state list, no requirements are defined.

[0325] In case 2, the sharing factor is updated by considering cells with different PCIs, and 1 is added to the original sharing factor so that the total measurement duration can be divided into: measurement duration for serving cell measurement, measurement duration for cell measurement with different PCIs, measurement duration for neighbor cell measurement whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and measurement duration for neighbor cell measurement whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.
