[0002] In mobile communication networks (e.g., fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G) networks), terminals must follow the measurement requirements and configurations issued by the base station to perform beam measurements and report the measurement results. Specifically, the base station sends beam-specific measurement configuration information to the terminal via radio resource control signaling, including but not limited to the measurement object, reporting criteria, and measurement parameters. The terminal then performs measurements based on these configurations and reports the measurement results to the base station when specific conditions are met.

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0050] The beam measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1In the application environment shown in FIG. Upon receiving a first beam transmitted by a base station, the terminal obtains signal information of a reference signal for the first beam. Based on the signal information of the reference signal and the beam information of associated beams, the terminal determines a beam measurement result. The terminal uploads the beam measurement result to the base station. The first beam carries beam information of associated beams of the first beam.

[0051] A terminal refers to a user device that can be used with a mobile communication network. For example, it can be a smart terminal like a mobile phone or computer, or a smart wearable device like a smartwatch or smart bracelet. A base station is a key device in a mobile communication network, responsible for transmitting and receiving wireless signals and communicating with the terminal.

[0052] In one embodiment, Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a beam measurement method provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present application, wherein the method is applied to Figure 1 Taking the terminal in as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0053] S201: When a first beam is received, obtain signal information of a reference signal of the first beam.

[0054] Among them, the first beam refers to the current receiving beam of the terminal, and also refers to the beam currently connected to the terminal. The first beam carries the beam information of the associated beam of the first beam. The reference signal refers to a specific signal used to help the terminal determine the optimal receiving beam to improve the quality and efficiency of signal transmission. It should be noted that the base station equipment can send multiple beams, and each beam has a corresponding reference signal. Signal information refers to relevant information of the reference signal, such as but not limited to at least one of the signal reception level, signal strength, bit error rate, etc. An associated beam refers to a beam that is similar to or overlaps with the first beam in beam pointing and coverage.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the first beam is received, a beam ID (Identifier) ​​of the first beam is obtained, and signal information of a reference signal of the first beam is obtained according to the beam ID.

[0056] S202: Determine a beam measurement result according to signal information of a reference signal and beam information of an associated beam.

[0057] As an optional implementation method of an embodiment of the present application, a first measurement result of the first beam is determined based on the signal information of the reference signal; a second measurement result of the associated beam is determined based on the beam information of the associated beam, and the first measurement result and the second measurement result are used as beam measurement results.

[0058] As another optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, a first measurement result for the first beam is determined based on signal information of a reference signal. Signal information of the reference signal of the associated beam is obtained based on beam information of the associated beam. Furthermore, a second measurement result for the associated beam is determined based on the signal information of the reference signal of the associated beam. The first and second measurement results are used as the beam measurement results.

[0059] The above-mentioned beam measurement method obtains the signal information of the reference signal of the first beam when the first beam is received; wherein, the first beam carries the beam information of the associated beam of the first beam. The beam measurement result is determined based on the signal information of the reference signal and the beam information of the associated beam. Based on the base station of this application, there is no need to send down the measurement configuration. When the terminal receives the first beam, the signal information of the reference signal of the first beam is obtained. And based on the signal information of the reference signal and the beam information of the associated beam, the beam measurement result is automatically determined, and the beam measurement report is sent to the base station device, which not only saves the network resources occupied by sending the resource configuration, but also effectively reduces the delay of the beam measurement result, thereby improving the reference value of the beam measurement result.

[0060] In one embodiment, in order to further reduce the waste of network resources and improve the reference value of the beam measurement results, the signal information in this embodiment at least includes the signal reception level. On this basis, Figure 3 As shown, an optional implementation of S203 includes:

[0061] S301 : Determine a measurement result generation condition according to a magnitude relationship between a signal reception level of a reference signal and a first threshold.

[0062] The signal reception level refers to the signal level value received during radio communications and can be used to measure signal strength or power. The first threshold value refers to a preset level boundary value used to measure whether the signal reception level of the reference signal of the first beam meets preset conditions. The measurement result generation status indicates whether beam measurement results need to be generated.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the signal reception level of the reference signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the measurement result generation situation is not generating a measurement result. When the signal reception level of the reference signal is less than the first threshold, the measurement result generation situation is generating a measurement result. In this embodiment, when the signal reception level of the reference signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it means that the beam strength of the first beam meets the requirements and can continue to be used as a receiving beam. There is no need to determine a new access beam from the associated beams. One of the purposes of the beam measurement result is to report the signal strength condition of the receiving beam that needs to be switched to the base station device. Therefore, in this case, since there is no need to switch the beam, there is no need to generate a beam measurement report, which reduces the waste of network resources. Only when the signal reception level of the reference signal is less than the first threshold, the measurement result generation situation is generating a measurement result. In this case, generating a beam measurement report is more valuable for reference.

[0064] S302: When the measurement result generation condition is to generate a measurement result, determine a beam measurement result according to signal information of a reference signal and beam information of an associated beam.

[0065] As an optional implementation method of an embodiment of the present application, a first measurement result of the first beam is determined based on the signal information of the reference signal; a second measurement result of the associated beam is determined based on the beam information of the associated beam, and the first measurement result and the second measurement result are used as beam measurement results.

[0066] As another optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, a first measurement result for the first beam is determined based on signal information of a reference signal. Signal information of the reference signal of the associated beam is obtained based on beam information of the associated beam. Furthermore, a second measurement result for the associated beam is determined based on the signal information of the reference signal of the associated beam. The first and second measurement results are used as the beam measurement results.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the reference signal reception level is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the measurement result generation condition is that no measurement result is generated. When the reference signal reception level is less than the first threshold, the measurement result generation condition is that a measurement result is generated. If the measurement result generation condition is that a measurement result is generated, a beam measurement result is determined based on the signal information of the reference signal and the beam information of the associated beam. This embodiment not only reduces network resource waste but also effectively improves the reference value of the beam measurement results.

[0068] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy of the beam measurement result, the beam information includes the beam identifier and the beam priority corresponding to the beam identifier. The number of beam identifiers is at least one. Figure 4As shown, an optional implementation method for determining a beam measurement result based on signal information of a reference signal and beam information of an associated beam includes:

[0069] S401 : Select a second beam from associated beams pointed to by a beam identifier according to a signal reception level of a reference signal, a first threshold and a second threshold, and a beam priority.

[0070] The beam priority refers to the priority order of the associated beams. The beam identifier refers to the beam identifier of the associated beam. Each associated beam has a corresponding beam identifier. The corresponding associated beam can be determined based on the beam identifier.

[0071] Optionally, in this embodiment, the beam priority is determined by the base station device based on the time domain information corresponding to the first beam and the time domain information of the associated beam pointed to by the beam identifier. Specifically, the base station device determines the beam priority of each associated beam based on the time domain information corresponding to the first beam, the time domain information of the associated beam, and the time domain proximity relationship between the time domain information of the associated beam and the time domain information corresponding to the first beam. Preferably, the closer the time domain information corresponding to the first beam is, that is, the shorter the time difference is, the higher the order of the beam priority. For example, as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, slot 2 is the time domain information for the first beam (Beam 2), and slots 0, 1, 3, and 4 are the time domain information corresponding to the associated beams Beam 0, Beam 1, Beam 3, and Beam 4, respectively. Slots 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are continuous on the time axis. The time domain information corresponding to Beam 1 and Beam 3, slot 1 and slot 3, is closest to slot 2. Therefore, Beam 1 and Beam 3 have higher beam priorities, second and first, respectively. The time domain information corresponding to Beam 0 and Beam 4, slot 0 and slot 4, is farther from slot 2. Therefore, Beam 0 and Beam 4 have higher beam priorities, fourth and third, respectively.

[0072] Optionally, in this embodiment, an optional implementation method of selecting a second beam from the associated beam pointed to by the beam identifier based on the signal reception level of the reference signal, the first threshold and the second threshold, and the beam priority is that when the signal reception level is less than the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold, the associated beam pointed to by the beam identifier with a beam priority greater than the first priority threshold is selected as the second beam. When the signal reception level is less than the second threshold, the associated beam pointed to by the beam identifier with a beam priority greater than the second priority threshold is selected as the second beam; wherein the first priority threshold is higher than the second priority threshold. Exemplarily, the first threshold is -85dBm, the second threshold is -100dBm, the first priority threshold is level three, and the second priority threshold is level five. When the signal reception level is less than the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold, the associated beam pointed to by the beam identifier with a beam priority greater than level three is selected as the second beam, with Figure 5 For example, the associated beams Beam1 and Beam3 are selected as the second beam. When the signal reception level is less than the second threshold, the associated beam pointed to by the beam identifier whose beam priority is greater than the second priority threshold is selected as the second beam. Figure 5 For example, the associated beams Beam0, Beam1, Beam3, and Beam4 are selected as the second beam. Based on this embodiment, the efficiency of determining the second beam can be improved, and the accuracy of determining the target beam can be effectively improved.

[0073] S402: Select a target beam from the first beam and the second beam.

[0074] As an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the signal reception level of the reference signal of the first beam and the signal reception level of the reference signal of the second beam are obtained, and the beam corresponding to the maximum signal reception level is used as the target beam.

[0075] Another optional implementation of the embodiment of the present application is to determine beam index values ​​for the first beam and the second beam. A target beam is selected from the first beam and the second beam based on the beam index value and beam priority. Optionally, in this embodiment, the beam index value is at least one of signal strength, signal bit error rate, and reference signal reception level. In this embodiment, an optional implementation of selecting a target beam from the first beam and the second beam based on the beam index value and beam priority is to determine the total index value of the first beam and the total index values ​​of each second beam based on the beam index value, and select the first beam or second beam pointed to by the largest total index value as the target beam. When there are two or more largest total index values, the beam with the highest beam priority and the largest total index value is selected as the target beam based on the beam priority. In this embodiment, an optional implementation of determining the total index value is to normalize the beam index values ​​of each beam to obtain an index score corresponding to each beam index value. A weight coefficient is determined for each beam index value. According to the weight coefficient of each beam index value, the index value score corresponding to each beam index value is weighted and summed to obtain the total index value of the beam.

[0076] S403: Generate a beam measurement result based on the target beam.

[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment, the terminal's receive beam is switched from the first beam to the target beam. After the switch, relevant information about the target beam is obtained to generate a beam measurement result. The relevant information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the reference signal reception level, signal strength, bit error rate, signal-to-noise ratio, and signal strength. It should be noted that if the target beam is the first beam, a beam measurement result also needs to be generated.

[0078] In this embodiment, a second beam is selected from the associated beams indicated by the beam identifier based on the reference signal reception level, the first and second thresholds, and the beam priority. A target beam is selected from the first and second beams. A beam measurement result is generated based on the target beam. This embodiment makes the determined beam measurement result more accurate.

[0079] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, an optional implementation of a beam measurement method includes:

[0080] S601: Upon receiving a first beam, obtain signal information of a reference signal of the first beam. The first beam carries beam information of associated beams of the first beam; the signal information includes a signal reception level. The beam information includes a beam identifier and a beam priority corresponding to the beam identifier; there is at least one beam identifier. The beam priority is determined by the base station based on time domain information corresponding to the first beam and time domain information of the associated beam indicated by the beam identifier.

[0081] S602: When the signal reception level of the reference signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the measurement result generation condition is to not generate a measurement result.

[0082] S603: When the signal reception level is less than the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold, select the associated beam pointed to by the beam identifier having a beam priority greater than the first priority threshold as the second beam.

[0083] S604: When the signal reception level is less than a second threshold, select, as a second beam, an associated beam pointed to by a beam identifier having a beam priority greater than the second priority threshold, wherein the first priority threshold is higher than the second priority threshold.

[0084] S605: Determine beam index values ​​of the first beam and the second beam, wherein the beam index value is at least one of signal strength, signal bit error rate, and reference signal reception level.

[0085] S606: Select a target beam from the first beam and the second beam according to the beam index value and the beam priority.

[0086] S607: Generate a beam measurement result based on the target beam.

[0087] The beam measurement method of this embodiment obtains the signal information of the reference signal of the first beam when the first beam is received; wherein the first beam carries the beam information of the associated beam of the first beam. The beam measurement result is determined based on the signal information of the reference signal and the beam information of the associated beam. Based on the base station of this application, there is no need to send down the measurement configuration. When the terminal receives the first beam, the signal information of the reference signal of the first beam is obtained. And based on the signal information of the reference signal and the beam information of the associated beam, the beam measurement result is automatically determined, and the beam measurement report is sent to the base station device, which not only saves the network resources occupied by sending the resource configuration, but also effectively reduces the delay of the beam measurement result, thereby improving the reference value of the beam measurement result.
