Beam report priority determination method and related equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a beam report priority determination method and related equipment, and relates to the technical field of communication. When beam management / cell switching enabled / triggered by a terminal is introduced, a beam report initiated by the terminal equipment or triggered by an event is lack of definition of priority; as a result, a processing mode for multiplexing and discarding report information of the report under the condition that the report is overlapped with a CSI report initiated by a non-terminal device or a non-event-triggered CSI report in time cannot be determined, so that the priority of the beam report needs to be defined. The priority of a beam report is determined by acquiring a priority parameter of the beam report initiated by a terminal device or triggered by an event.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method and related equipment for determining beam reporting priority. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, because the network cannot promptly detect changes in channel quality at user equipment (UE), the beam / cell measurement and reporting process controlled by the network experiences significant delays, resulting in untimely beam / cell handovers that cannot adequately match current channel conditions. Therefore, to accelerate beam / cell handovers and better track channel changes, UE-enabled / triggered beam management / cell handover has been introduced to address these issues.

[0003] Specifically, the UE measures the Reference Signal (RS). When the measurement result of the RS meets a predefined measurement event, the UE sends a beam report to the network to inform it of the beam measurement result. This beam report initiated by the terminal device, as a new type of beam report, can be regarded as a special channel state information (CSI) report, sharing some transmission resources with the CSI report. Therefore, it is necessary to define the priority of the beam report initiated by the terminal device to solve the related processing of multiplexing and dropping of report information when it overlaps with the CSI report in time. However, there is currently no specific scheme for defining the priority of the beam report initiated by the terminal device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method and related equipment for determining beam report priority, and provides a scheme for defining the priority of beam reports initiated by a terminal.

[0005] The first aspect is a method for determining the priority of measurement reports according to this application, including:

[0006] Obtain the priority parameter of the beam report. The beam report is either a beam report initiated by the terminal device or a beam report triggered by an event.

[0007] The priority of beam reports is determined based on the priority parameter.

[0008] As can be seen, after introducing beam management / cell handover triggered by the terminal, the lack of priority definition for the beam reports initiated by the terminal makes it impossible to determine the reuse of report information and the handling method during drop when the beam reports initiated by the terminal overlap with CSI reports in time. Therefore, a method for defining the priority of beam reports initiated by the terminal is needed. This embodiment obtains the priority parameter of beam reports initiated by the terminal device or event-triggered beam reports, and then determines the priority of the beam reports initiated by the terminal based on the priority parameter. Thus, a technical solution for defining the priority of beam reports initiated by the terminal is provided.

[0009] Secondly, a measurement report priority determination device according to this application includes:

[0010] The acquisition unit is used to acquire the priority parameters of the beam report, which is either a beam report initiated by the terminal device or a beam report triggered by an event.

[0011] The determination unit is used to determine the priority of beam reports based on priority parameters.

[0012] Thirdly, a terminal device according to this application includes a processor, a memory, and a computer program or instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor executes the computer program or instructions to implement the steps in the method designed in the first aspect above.

[0013] Fourthly, a chip according to this application includes a processor, wherein the processor performs the steps of the method designed in the first aspect above.

[0014] Optionally, the chip also includes a communication interface through which the processor performs the sending and / or receiving steps in the method designed in the first aspect described above.

[0015] Fifthly, a chip module according to this application includes a chip, the chip including a processor, wherein the processor performs the steps in the method designed in the first aspect above.

[0016] Optionally, the chip module further includes a transceiver component, through which the processor performs the sending and / or receiving steps in the method designed in the first aspect described above.

[0017] Sixthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program or instructions that, when executed, implement the steps of the method designed in the first aspect. For example, the computer program or instructions are executed by a processor.

[0018] A seventh aspect is a computer program product of this application, comprising a computer program or instructions, wherein when the computer program or instructions are executed, the steps in the method designed in the first aspect are performed. For example, the computer program or instructions are executed by a processor.

Figure 1 As shown, the wireless communication system may include network devices and terminal devices. The network devices can communicate with the terminal devices wirelessly. During communication between the network devices and terminal devices, the terminal devices measure the RS resources. When the measurement results meet a predefined measurement event, such as a decrease in the quality of the current beam / cell, or the discovery of a new beam / cell with better quality, the terminal reports the measurement results to the network devices in the form of a beam report. The network devices then perform beam / cell handover related tasks based on the reported content.

In some embodiments, access network devices can also be apparatuses that provide wireless communication functions for terminal devices, such as chip systems. For example, a chip system may include chips, and may also include other discrete devices.

[0050] In this embodiment, a beam can be represented as spatial relation, spatial domain transmission filter, spatial domain reception filter, spatial domain filter, spatial filter, spatial parameter, spatial domain parameter, Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) status, Quasi Co-Location (QCL) parameters, etc. Beam information can refer to information that can be used to determine or indicate a beam. For example, beam information can be any of the following: beam identification information, spatial relation information, spatial filter information, spatial filter information, spatial parameter information, spatial parameter information, TCI status information, QCL information, etc. Downlink beam information can typically be represented using TCI status information or QCL information. Uplink beam information can typically be represented using TCI status information, QCL information, or spatial relation information. In beam reports, CSI reports, and L1 / L2 triggered mobility management (LTM) reports, beam identification information can be a reference signal resource indicator or a reference signal resource index. The reference signal can be a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and the corresponding reference signal resource indicator can be a CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI). Alternatively, the reference signal can be a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), and the corresponding reference signal resource indicator can be an SSB Resource Indicator (SSB RI). The reference signal resource index can be either a CSI-RS resource index or an SSB resource index.

[0051] In this embodiment, a cell can be described as a carrier, component carrier (CC), subband, frequency band, bandwidth, frequency point, physical cell, serving cell, transmission and receiving point (TRP), etc. This document uses the term "cell," but "cell" and the above equivalent concepts can be used interchangeably. Cell information may include at least one of the following: cell index, cell identifier, physical cell identifier (PCI), identifier information of RS resource configuration associated with the cell, identifier information of RS resource set associated with the cell, identifier information of RS resource associated with the cell, identifier information of report configuration associated with the cell, and TRP identifier. A TRP may be at least one of the following: control resource set, control resource set pool, control resource set group, terminal capability set, terminal capability, TCI status, TCI status pool, terminal capability value, terminal capability value set, reference signal resource, reference signal resource set, reference signal resource group, number of reference signal ports, antenna panel, antenna array, antenna subarray, antenna group, antenna subgroup, antenna set, antenna subset, serving cell, and physical cell. A TRP can be uniquely identified by at least one of the identifiers listed above.

[0052] In this embodiment, the antenna panel information of the terminal device may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: control resource set, control resource set pool, control resource set group, terminal capability set information, terminal capability information, TCI status information, TCI status pool information, terminal capability value information, terminal capability value set information, reference signal resource information (such as SRS resource information), reference signal resource set information (such as SRS resource set information), reference signal resource group information, reference signal port number information, antenna panel, antenna array information, antenna subarray information, antenna group information, antenna subgroup information, antenna set information, antenna subset information, etc.

[0053] In this embodiment, the current beam refers to the beam currently being used by the terminal device. There can be one or more current beams. The current beam can also be called the serving beam. Each cell can provide one or more beams. The current beam can be the beam of the terminal device's serving cell, or it can be the beam of another cell besides the serving cell. For example, the current beam can be the beam of a neighboring cell of the serving cell. The current cell refers to the cell to which the current beam belongs. In other words, the current cell refers to the cell providing the current beam. The current cell can include the serving cell and / or non-serving cells. In a carrier aggregation (CA) scenario, the serving cell can include a primary cell and at least one secondary cell, and the current beam can include the current beam of the primary cell and the current beams of each secondary cell. A non-serving cell refers to another cell besides the serving cell. For example, the current cell can include a neighboring cell. That is, the terminal device only uses the beam of a neighboring cell to transmit channels or signals, but the neighboring cell is not the terminal device's serving cell.

[0054] In this embodiment, the new beam is obtained by measuring the reference signal of the new beam. During the beam management / cell handover process triggered by the UE, the terminal device measures the new beam RS and reports the new beam whose beam quality, such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), meets preset conditions (such as exceeding a preset threshold, or the beam quality exceeding that of the current beam) to the network. The new beam can be a beam within the serving cell or a beam from another cell outside the serving cell, such as a beam from a candidate cell or a beam associated with a non-serving cell PCI (also known as an additional PCI). The new beam can also be referred to as: a suggested beam, a suggested new beam, an available beam, a beam with continuously improving beam quality, a target beam, a candidate beam, etc. The new cell refers to the cell to which the terminal device suggests handover or the cell to which the network device indicates handover. In specific implementations, the new cell can be the cell to which the new beam belongs. Alternatively, a new cell can refer to a candidate cell whose measurement results meet the measurement event. A new cell may include a primary cell and / or a secondary cell. During UE-triggered beam management / cell handover, the UE reports the cell information (cell identifier) ​​of the new beam whose beam quality meets preset conditions to the network.

[0055] In this embodiment, the measurement event may include conditions for determining the signal quality of the current beam, and / or conditions for determining the signal quality of the new beam. For example, the measurement event includes: the signal quality of the current beam (e.g., a measurement result for measuring the reference signal resources of the current beam) is less than a first threshold. Another example is that the measurement event includes: the signal quality of the current beam (e.g., a measurement result for measuring the reference signal resources of the current beam) is less than a first threshold, and the signal quality of the new beam (e.g., a measurement result for measuring the reference signal resources of the new beam) is greater than a second threshold. Yet another example is that the measurement event includes: the signal quality of the new beam (e.g., a measurement result for measuring the reference signal resources of the new beam) is greater than a second threshold. Still another example is that the measurement event includes: the signal quality of the new beam (e.g., the RSRP or SINR of the reference signal resources of the new beam) is greater than the signal quality of the current beam (e.g., the RSRP or SINR of the reference signal resources of the current beam).

[0056] In this application embodiment, cell handover can refer to cell handover during Layer 1 or Layer 2 mobility management (L1 / L2triggered mobility, LTM) process, or it can also be cell handover during Layer 3 mobility management (L3mobility) process. In this case, the report sent by the terminal device is an LTM report or a Layer 3 measurement report.

[0057] It should be noted that a cell handover initiated by a terminal device can refer to the process where the terminal device actively initiates an LTM report or Layer 3 measurement report based on measurement results meeting a measurement event. Whether a cell handover is ultimately required can be determined by the network device based on the LTM or Layer 3 report sent by the terminal device. Alternatively, a cell handover initiated by a terminal device can also refer to the process where, after the terminal device actively initiates an LTM or Layer 3 measurement report based on measurement results meeting a measurement event, a cell handover is directly performed (e.g., handover to the optimal cell indicated by the terminal device in the report).

[0058] In this application embodiment, "terminal device initiated" can be replaced by terminal device enabled, terminal device triggered, event triggered, event driven, etc.

[0059] "Terminal device-initiated cell handover process" can be replaced with: terminal device-initiated LTM process, or terminal device-initiated Layer 3 mobility management process.

[0060] "Reports during cell handover initiated by terminal device" can be replaced with: LTM report initiated by terminal device (which can also be understood as CSI report configured as LTM report), or Layer 3 measurement report initiated by terminal device.

[0061] "Beam management process initiated by terminal device" can be replaced with: beam reporting process initiated by terminal device, or beam measurement process initiated by terminal device, or beam switching process initiated by terminal device, or beam activation process initiated by terminal device.

[0062] "Reports initiated by the terminal device during beam management process" can be replaced with: beam report initiated by the terminal device (which can also be understood as a CSI report configured as a beam report), or beam measurement report initiated by the terminal device.

[0063] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0064] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a beam reporting priority determination method proposed in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to... Figure 1 The wireless communication system shown can be implemented by terminal devices within the wireless communication system. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0065] S201: Obtain the priority parameters for beam reports.

[0066] In this embodiment, the beam report is either a beam report initiated by the terminal device or an event-triggered beam report, hereinafter referred to as a UEI (User Equipment Initiated) report. Meanwhile, reports initiated by non-terminal devices or non-event-triggered reports will be referred to as CSI reports, which may include CSI reports configured as LTM reports and CSI reports not configured as LTM reports.

[0067] The priority parameter for beam reporting is used to determine the priority of beam reporting.

[0068] In this implementation, the UEI report, as a special type of CSI report, has a lower priority than Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-Acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) and Scheduling Request (SR) information, but higher than existing CSI reports. In existing protocols, the order of information bits when HARQ-ACK, SR, and CSI are transmitted in uplink channel resources is: HARQ-ACK information bits, SR information bits, and CSI report information bits.

[0069] Based on this, after adding the UEI report, the order in which the information bits of the UEI report, CSI report, HARQ-ACK, and SR information bits are transmitted in the uplink channel resources is as follows:

[0070] The information bits in the UEI report are placed before the information bits in the CSI report.

[0071] The UEI report information bits are placed after the HARQ-ACK information bits.

[0072] That is, the information bits are arranged in the following order: HARQ-ACK information bits, SR information bits, UEI report information bits, and CSI report information bits.

[0073] Alternatively, the information bits can be arranged in the following order: HARQ-ACK information bits, UEI report information bits, SR information bits, and CSI report information bits.

[0074] Of course, the above arrangement of information bits is only an example given in this application and is not intended to limit the arrangement of information bits of UEI report, CSI report, HARQ-ACK information and SR information when they are transmitted in uplink channel resources.

[0075] For example, the information bits can also be arranged in the following order: HARQ-ACK information bits, SR information bits, CSI report information bits, and UEI report information bits.

[0076] For example, the information bits can also be arranged in the following order: HARQ-ACK information bits, UEI report information bits, SR information bits, and CSI report information bits.

[0077] For example, the information bits can also be arranged in the following order: UEI report information bits, HARQ-ACK information bits, SR information bits, and CSI report information bits.

[0078] In this embodiment, before explaining the priority of UEI reports, the method for determining the priority of CSI reports will be described first. Specifically, the priority of CSI reports can be determined by formula ①:

[0079] P = 2 × N cells ×M s ×y+N cells ×M s ×k+M s ×c+s………①

[0080] Where, N cells To serve the maximum number of communities, M s The total number of report configurations for CSI reports (the report configurations for CSI reports are used to configure relevant information for CSI reports), y is a coefficient determined based on the channel carrying the CSI report and the time-domain characteristics of the CSI report, k is a coefficient determined based on the content carried by the CSI report, c is the index of the serving cell, and s is the report configuration ID of the CSI report.

[0081] The values ​​of parameter y are as follows:

[0082] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0083] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0084] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0085] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0086] The possible values ​​for parameter k are as follows:

[0087] k=0, for CSI report carrying L1-RSRP or L1-SINR;

[0088] k=1, for CSI report not carrying L1-RSRP or L1-SINR.

[0089] In this embodiment, the priority of the UEI report will be calculated using the above formula ①. Therefore, some parameters in formula ① are extended to allow the UEI report to obtain the corresponding parameter values ​​under these definitions to calculate the priority.

[0090] The following provides a detailed description of each parameter. Based on this, the parameters requiring expanded definition are designated as priority parameters for the UEI report, which may include: parameter y in formula ① (hereinafter referred to as the first parameter); parameter k (hereinafter referred to as the second parameter); parameter c (hereinafter referred to as the third parameter); parameter s (hereinafter referred to as the fourth parameter); and parameter M. s The following will refer to it as the fifth parameter.

[0091] In this embodiment, for parameter N cells This application will not redefine it, and will continue to use its original definition.

[0092] 1. For the first parameter:

[0093] In this embodiment, referring to the definition of the first parameter in the CSI report, the first parameter of the UEI report is related to at least one of the following:

[0094] The channel used to carry UEI reports, the reporting mode of UEI reports, and the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where UEI reports are located.

[0095] For example, the reporting modes include a first mode (Mode A) and a second mode (Mode B). The first mode uses uplink channel resources dynamically scheduled by the network device to report the UEI report, and the second mode uses periodic uplink channel resources pre-configured by the network device to report the UEI report. The time-domain characteristics of the channel resources on which the UEI report is located include a first time-domain characteristic and a second time-domain characteristic. The first time-domain characteristic is the uplink channel resource dynamically scheduled by the network device, and the second time-domain characteristic is the periodic uplink channel resource pre-configured by the network device.

[0096] 1.1 Based on the channel used to carry UEI reports:

[0097] In this embodiment, the first parameter of the UEI report can be determined based on the channel carrying the UEI report.

[0098] Specifically, if the channel used to carry the UEI report is PUCCH, then the first parameter of the UEI report is a first value; if the channel used to carry the UEI report is PUSCH, then the first parameter of the UEI report is a second value. The first value can be less than, greater than, or equal to the second value.

[0099] In this embodiment, the first parameter of the UEI report is less than the first parameter of the CSI report. Specifically, if the channel used to carry the CSI report is PUCCH, the first parameter of the CSI report is the third value; if the channel used to carry the CSI report is PUSCH, the first parameter of the CSI report is the fourth value. The minimum of the third and fourth values ​​is greater than the first value, and the minimum of the third and fourth values ​​is greater than the second value.

[0100] In this implementation, when only PUCCH is supported to carry UEI reports, the first parameter of the UEI report can only be the first value, and the second value does not exist. Alternatively, when only PUSCH is supported to carry UEI reports, the first parameter of the UEI report can only be the second value, and the first value does not exist.

[0101] For example, taking the case where the first value is greater than the second value, the maximum value between the first and second values ​​is the first value. Following the existing definition of the first parameter in CSI reports, when the channel carrying the CSI report is PUCCH, the third value is 2 or 3; when the channel carrying the CSI report is PUSCH, the fourth value is 0 or 1. Therefore, the minimum value between the third and fourth values ​​is 0. Thus, the first value is less than 0, and the second value is less than the first value. For example, in this case, the values ​​of the first parameter in the UEI report and CSI report are as follows:

[0102] y=-2, for UEI report on PUSCH;

[0103] y=-1, for UEI report on PUCCH;

[0104] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0105] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0106] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0107] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0108] Of course, the above values ​​are merely examples provided in this application. The first parameter can also be other values, as long as the overall order of magnitude is maintained. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. For example, the first parameter could also be:

[0109] y=0, for UEI report on PUSCH;

[0110] y=1, for UEI report on PUCCH;

[0111] y=2, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0112] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0113] y=4, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0114] y=5, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0115] Similarly, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned size order is only an example given in this application and is not a limitation on the size order of the first parameter.

[0116] For example, the second value can be greater than the first value, while keeping the first parameter in the UEI report less than the first parameter in the CSI report, for example:

[0117] y=-2, for UEI report on PUCCH;

[0118] y=-1, for UEI report on PUSCH;

[0119] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0120] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0121] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0122] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0123] For example, while keeping the first value greater than the second value, the first parameter in the UEI report can be made greater than the first parameter in the CSI report, for example:

[0124] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0125] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0126] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0127] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0128] y=4, for UEI report on PUSCH;

[0129] y=5, for UEI report on PUCCH.

[0130] For example, while keeping the first value greater than the second value, the first parameter corresponding to the bearer channel PUSCH can be made greater than the first parameter corresponding to the bearer channel PUCCH, for example:

[0131] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0132] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0133] y=2, for UEI report on PUSCH;

[0134] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0135] y=4, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0136] y=5, for UEI report on PUCCH.

[0137] or:

[0138] y=-1, for UEI report on PUSCH;

[0139] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0140] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0141] y=2, for UEI report on PUCCH;

[0142] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0143] y=4, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0144] The above examples are only for the purpose of assisting in understanding this application and do not limit the size relationship between the first parameter of the UEI report and the first parameter of the CSI report in this application.

[0145] 1.2 Reporting Mode Based on UEI Report

[0146] In this embodiment, the first parameter of the UEI report can be determined according to the reporting mode of the UEI report.

[0147] Specifically, if the UEI report is submitted in mode one, the first parameter of the UEI report is the fifth value; if the UEI report is submitted in mode two, the first parameter of the UEI report is the sixth value. This fifth value can be less than, greater than, or equal to the sixth value.

[0148] In this embodiment, the first parameter of the UEI report is less than the first parameter of the CSI report. Specifically, if the channel used to carry the CSI report is PUCCH, the first parameter of the CSI report is the third value; if the channel used to carry the CSI report is PUSCH, the first parameter of the CSI report is the fourth value. The minimum of the third and fourth values ​​is greater than the maximum of the fifth and sixth values.

[0149] For example, taking the case where the fifth value is less than the sixth value, the maximum value between the fifth and sixth values ​​is the sixth value. Following the existing definition of the first parameter of the CSI report, when the channel carrying the CSI report is PUCCH, the third value is 2 or 3; when the channel carrying the CSI report is PUSCH, the fourth value is 0 or 1. Therefore, the minimum value between the third and fourth values ​​is 0. Thus, the sixth value is less than 0, and the fifth value is less than the sixth value. For example, in this case, the values ​​of the first parameter of the UEI report and the CSI report are as follows:

[0150] y=-2, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0151] y=-1, for UEI report for Mode B;

[0152] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0153] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0154] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0155] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0156] Of course, the above values ​​are merely examples provided in this application. The first parameter can also be other values, as long as the overall order of magnitude is maintained. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. For example, the first parameter could also be:

[0157] y=0, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0158] y=1, for UEI report for Mode B;

[0159] y=2, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0160] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0161] y=4, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0162] y=5, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0163] Similarly, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned size order is only an example given in this application and is not a limitation on the size order of the first parameter.

[0164] For example, the fifth value can be greater than the sixth value, while keeping the first parameter in the UEI report less than the first parameter in the CSI report, for example:

[0165] y=-2, for UEI report for Mode B;

[0166] y=-1, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0167] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0168] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0169] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0170] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0171] For example, while keeping the sixth value greater than the fifth value, the first parameter in the UEI report can be made greater than the first parameter in the CSI report, for example:

[0172] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0173] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0174] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0175] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0176] y=4, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0177] y=5, for UEI report for Mode B.

[0178] For example, while keeping the sixth value greater than the fifth value, the first parameter corresponding to the uplink channel of non-periodic reporting or bearer reporting being a dynamically scheduled uplink channel resource can be made smaller than the first parameter corresponding to the uplink channel of periodic / semi-persistent reporting or bearer reporting being a pre-configured uplink channel resource. For example:

[0179] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0180] y=1, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0181] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0182] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0183] y=4, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0184] y=5, for UEI report for Mode B.

[0185] or:

[0186] y=-1, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0187] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0188] y=1, for UEI report for Mode B;

[0189] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0190] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0191] y=4, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0192] The above examples are only for the purpose of assisting in understanding this application and do not limit the size relationship between the first parameter of the UEI report and the first parameter of the CSI report in this application.

[0193] 1.3. Time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report is located

[0194] In this embodiment, the first parameter of the UEI report can be determined based on the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report is located.

[0195] Specifically, if the time-domain characteristic of the channel resource in which the UEI report is located is the first time-domain characteristic, that is, the channel resource is an uplink channel resource dynamically scheduled by the network device, then the first parameter of the UEI report is the seventh value; if the time-domain characteristic of the channel resource in which the UEI report is located is the second time-domain characteristic, that is, the channel resource is a periodic uplink channel resource pre-configured by the network device, then the first parameter of the UEI report is the eighth value. This seventh value can be less than, greater than, or equal to the eighth value.

[0196] In this embodiment, the order of the first parameter of the UEI report and the first parameter of the CSI report can also be determined based on the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report and CSI report reside. For example, the first parameter corresponding to the dynamic uplink resources of the bearer report can be smaller than the first parameter corresponding to the periodic uplink resources of the bearer report, and the first parameter corresponding to the aperiodic report can be smaller than the first parameter corresponding to the periodic / semi-persistent report. Specifically, if the CSI report is an aperiodic report, the first parameter of the CSI report is the ninth value; if the CSI report is a periodic or semi-persistent report, the first parameter of the CSI report is the tenth value. Therefore, the seventh value is smaller than the ninth value, the ninth value is smaller than the eighth value, and the eighth value is smaller than the tenth value.

[0197] For example, in this case, the values ​​of the first parameter of the UEI report and CSI report are as follows:

[0198] y=-1, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0199] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0200] y=1, for UEI report for Mode B;

[0201] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0202] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0203] y=4, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0204] Of course, the above values ​​are merely examples provided in this application. The first parameter can also be other values, as long as the overall order of magnitude is maintained. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. For example, the first parameter could also be:

[0205] y=0, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0206] y=1, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0207] y=2, for UEI report for Mode B;

[0208] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0209] y=4, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0210] y=5, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0211] Similarly, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned size order is only an example given in this application and is not a limitation on the size order of the first parameter.

[0212] For example, the order of the first parameter could also be:

[0213] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0214] y=1, for UEI report for Mode A;

[0215] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0216] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0217] y=4, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0218] y=5, for UEI report for Mode B.

[0219] The above examples are only for the purpose of assisting in understanding this application and do not limit the size relationship between the first parameter of the UEI report and the first parameter of the CSI report in this application.

[0220] 1.4 Combining any two of the above three items

[0221] For example, consider the channel type used to carry the UEI report and the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report is located. If the channel used to carry the UEI report is PUCCH and the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report is located are the first time-domain characteristics, then the first parameter of the UEI report is the eleventh value; if the channel used to carry the UEI report is PUCCH and the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report is located are the second time-domain characteristics, then the first parameter of the UEI report is the twelfth value; if the channel used to carry the UEI report is PUSCH and the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report is located are the first time-domain characteristics, then the first parameter of the UEI report is the thirteenth value; if the channel used to carry the UEI report is PUSCH and the time-domain characteristics of the channel resources where the UEI report is located are the second time-domain characteristics, then the first parameter of the UEI report is the fourteenth value.

[0222] The relationship between the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth values ​​is at least one of the following:

[0223] The eleventh value is less than or equal to the twelfth value, the twelfth value is less than or equal to the thirteenth value, the thirteenth value is less than or equal to the fourteenth value, the eleventh value is less than or equal to the fourteenth value, the thirteenth value is less than or equal to the twelfth value, and the fourteenth value is less than or equal to the eleventh value.

[0224] For example: the eleventh value is less than the twelfth value, the twelfth value is less than the thirteenth value, and the thirteenth value is less than the fourteenth value; or, the eleventh value is less than the thirteenth value, the thirteenth value is less than the twelfth value, and the twelfth value is less than the fourteenth value; or, the twelfth value is less than the eleventh value, the eleventh value is less than the fourteenth value, and the fourteenth value is less than the thirteenth value; or, the twelfth value is less than the fourteenth value, the fourteenth value is less than the eleventh value, and the eleventh value is less than the twelfth value; or, the thirteenth value is less than the eleventh value, the eleventh value is less than the fourteenth value, and the thirteenth value is less than the eleventh value; or, the fourteenth value is less than the twelfth value, the twelfth value is less than the eleventh value. That is, the relationship between the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth values ​​is not limited in this application.

[0225] In this implementation, when only PUCCH is supported to carry UEI reports, the first parameter of the UEI report can only be the eleventh or twelfth value; the thirteenth and fourteenth values ​​do not exist. Alternatively, when only PUSCH is supported to carry UEI reports, the first parameter of the UEI report can only be the thirteenth or fourteenth value; the eleventh and twelfth values ​​do not exist.

[0226] In this embodiment, the first parameter of the UEI report is less than the first parameter of the CSI report. Following the existing definition of the first parameter of the CSI report, the value of the first parameter can be:

[0227] y=-4, for UEI report for Mode A on PUSCH;

[0228] y=-3, for UEI report for Mode B on PUSCH;

[0229] y=-2, for UEI report for Mode A on PUCCH;

[0230] y=-1, for UEI report for Mode B on PUCCH;

[0231] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0232] y=1, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0233] y=2, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0234] y=3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0235] Of course, the above values ​​are merely examples provided in this application. The first parameter can also be other values, as long as the overall order of magnitude is maintained. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. For example, the first parameter could also be:

[0236] y=0, for UEI report for Mode A on PUSCH;

[0237] y=1, for UEI report for Mode B on PUSCH;

[0238] y=2, for UEI report for Mode A on PUCCH;

[0239] y=3, for UEI report for Mode B on PUCCH;

[0240] y=4, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0241] y=5, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0242] y=6, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0243] y=7, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0244] Similarly, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned size order is only an example given in this application and is not a limitation on the size order of the first parameter.

[0245] For example, the order of the first parameter could also be:

[0246] y=0, for UEI report for Mode A on PUSCH;

[0247] y=1, for UEI report for Mode B on PUSCH;

[0248] y=2, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0249] y=3, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0250] y=4, for UEI report for Mode A on PUCCH;

[0251] y=5, for UEI report for Mode B on PUCCH;

[0252] y=6, for semi-periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0253] y=7, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0254] or:

[0255] y=0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0256] y = 1, for semi - periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0257] y = 2, for semi - periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0258] y = 3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0259] y = 4, for UEI report for Mode A on PUSCH;

[0260] y = 5, for UEI report for Mode B on PUSCH;

[0261] y = 6, for UEI report for Mode A on PUCCH;

[0262] y = 7, for UEI report for Mode B on PUCCH.

[0263] Or:

[0264] y = - 4, for UEI report for Mode A on PUSCH;

[0265] y = - 3, for UEI report for Mode A on PUCCH;

[0266] y = - 2, for UEI report for Mode B on PUSCH;

[0267] y = - 1, for UEI report for Mode B on PUCCH;

[0268] y = 0, for aperiodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0269] y = 1, for semi - periodic CSI report on PUSCH;

[0270] y = 2, for semi - periodic CSI report on PUCCH;

[0271] y = 3, for periodic CSI report on PUCCH.

[0272] The above examples are only for the purpose of assisting in understanding this application and do not limit the size relationship between the first parameter of the UEI report and the first parameter of the CSI report in this application.

[0273] Similarly, the combination of the above two items is merely an example for understanding this application and is not limited to determining the first parameter of the UEI report only through the combination of the above two items. Other combinations can also be used for the first parameter of the UEI report, which will not be elaborated here.

[0274] 2. Regarding the second parameter

[0275] In this embodiment, the second parameter is related to the content carried in the UEI report. Specifically, if the content carried in the UEI report includes L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, then the second parameter of the UEI report is the fifteenth value. This fifteenth value is less than or equal to the sixteenth value, which is the value of the second parameter of the CSI report when the content carried in the CSI report includes L1-RSRP or L1-SINR.

[0276] Following the existing definition of the second parameter in CSI reports, when the CSI report includes L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, the sixteenth value is 0, and the fifteenth value is less than or equal to 0. Of course, the value of the sixteenth value can also be redefined; for example, it can be equal to 1, in which case the fifteenth value is less than or equal to 1.

[0277] Similarly, the fifteenth value can be greater than the sixteenth value, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0278] 3. Regarding the third parameter

[0279] In this embodiment, the third parameter is the first cell index, which is determined based on the UEI report's report configuration (the UEI report's report configuration is used to configure relevant information of the UEI report) and / or the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration.

[0280] Specifically, if the first cell index is determined based on the report configuration of the UEI report, then the first cell index is the index of the cell where the report configuration of the UEI report is located; or, the first cell index is the index of the cell indicated in the report configuration of the UEI report.

[0281] For example, if a network device configures a UEI report in a cell, that is, if the network device sends configuration signaling (UEI report configuration) to the terminal device for configuring the UEI report, then the index of that cell is the first cell index. For instance, if the network device configures a UEI report in cell J, then the index of cell J is the first cell index.

[0282] Alternatively, if the network device specifies a cell in the UEI report configuration information when configuring the UEI report, then the index of that cell is the first cell index. For example, if the network device specifies cell F in the UEI report configuration information when configuring the UEI report, then regardless of which cell the UEI report is configured in, the first cell index will be the index of cell F.

[0283] In this embodiment, if the first cell index is determined by the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration, then the first cell index is the index of the cell where the RS resource configuration (RS resource configuration information) is located; or, the first cell index is the minimum value among the indices of multiple cells where the RS resource in the RS resource configuration is located.

[0284] For example, if the RS resources in the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration are in the same cell, that is, if the RS resources in the RS resource configuration are used to measure measurement events in a cell, then the index of the measured cell is the first cell index. For instance, if the RS resources in the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration are used to measure a cell R, then the index of cell R is the first cell index.

[0285] Alternatively, if multiple RS resource configurations associated with the UEI report's reporting configuration are used to measure measurement events of multiple cells respectively, then the minimum value among the indices of the measured cells is the first cell index. For example, if the RS resource in one RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's reporting configuration is used to measure measurement events of cell Q, and the RS resource in another RS ​​resource configuration associated with the UEI report's reporting configuration is used to measure measurement events of cell P, then the first cell index is the minimum value between the index of cell Q and the index of cell P.

[0286] Alternatively, if the RS resource sets in the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration are used to measure measurement events of multiple cells, then the minimum value among the indices of the measured cells is the first cell index. For example, if the RS resources in one RS resource set associated with the UEI report's report configuration are used to measure measurement events of cell U, and the RS resources in another RS ​​resource set associated with the UEI report's report configuration are used to measure measurement events of cell G, then the first cell index is the minimum value between the indices of cell U and cell G.

[0287] Alternatively, if the RS resources in the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration are used to measure measurement events of multiple cells, then the minimum value among the indices of the measured cells is the first cell index. For example, if part of the RS resources in the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration are used to measure measurement events of cell H, and another part of the RS resources in the RS resource configuration associated with the UEI report's report configuration are used to measure measurement events of cell V, then the first cell index is the minimum value between the indices of cell H and cell V.

[0288] In this embodiment, if the cell where the UEI report configuration is located is a primary cell, then the first cell index is the seventeenth value or the primary cell index; or, if the cell indicated in the UEI report configuration is a primary cell, then the first cell index is the eighteenth value or the primary cell index; or, if the cell where the RS resource configuration is located is a primary cell, then the first cell index is the nineteenth value or the primary cell index; or, if multiple cells where the RS resource in the RS resource configuration is located include a primary cell, then the first cell index is the twentieth value or the primary cell index. The seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth values ​​can be the smallest cell index in determining the priority of all reports (including UEI reports and CSI reports), that is, the smallest third parameter value; or the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth values ​​can be 0.

[0289] 4. Regarding the fourth parameter

[0290] In this embodiment, the fourth parameter is the report configuration ID of the UEI report, which is less than the report configuration ID of the CSI report. Both the report configuration ID of the UEI report and the report configuration ID of the CSI report are pre-configured by the network device.

[0291] Specifically, when configuring various reports, network devices can configure the report configuration ID of the UEI report to a value less than the minimum report configuration ID of the CSI report. For example, if a network device configures four report configuration IDs for the CSI report (1, 2, 3, and 4, with a minimum value of 1), and two UEI reports need to be configured, then the report configuration IDs for these two UEI reports can be configured to values ​​less than 1, such as 0 and -1.

[0292] Alternatively, the CSI report configuration ID can be modified to the sum of the total number of UEI report configurations and the CSI report configuration ID configured by the network device. It should be noted that the CSI report configuration ID configured by the network device here refers to the original ID configured by the network device for the CSI report, while the CSI report configuration ID is the new ID obtained after modifying the CSI report configuration ID configured by the network device.

[0293] For example, the network device has four CSI report configuration IDs: 1, 2, 3, and 4. If two UEI reports need to be configured, the original CSI report configuration IDs are added to the total number of UEI report configurations (2), resulting in four new CSI report configuration IDs: 3, 4, 5, and 6. Then, IDs 1 and 2 are configured as the UEI report configuration IDs to ensure that the UEI report configuration ID is less than the CSI report configuration ID.

[0294] Alternatively, the CSI report configuration ID can be modified to the sum of the maximum value of the UEI report configuration ID and the CSI report configuration ID configured by the network device. For example, the network device configures four CSI report configuration IDs: 1, 2, 3, and 4. If the network device also configures two UEI report configuration IDs: 5 and 6, with a maximum value of 6, then the original CSI report configuration IDs are added to this maximum value of 6, resulting in four new CSI report configuration IDs: 7, 8, 9, and 10. This ensures that the UEI report configuration ID is less than the CSI report configuration ID.

[0295] In this embodiment, the report configuration ID of the UEI report can also be greater than or equal to the report configuration ID of the CSI report, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0296] 5. Regarding the fifth parameter

[0297] In this embodiment, the fifth parameter is the sum of the total number of UEI report configurations and the total number of CSI report configurations, both of which are pre-configured by the network device.

[0298] For example, if the total number of report configurations for UEI reports is 2 and the total number of report configurations for CSI reports is 4, then the fifth parameter is 6.

[0299] S202: Determine the priority of beam reports based on priority parameters.

[0300] In this embodiment, the priority of the UEI report can be determined based on any combination of one or more of the obtained first, second, third, fourth, and fifth parameters. For example, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth parameters can be substituted into formula ① to calculate the priority of the UEI report. Alternatively, any combination of one or more of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth parameters can be substituted into other priority formulas for calculation; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0301] In this embodiment, once the priority of the UEI report is determined, if the uplink channel resources of the UEI report and the CSI report overlap in the time domain during transmission, the multiplexing or dropping of the UEI report or the CSI report can be determined according to their priorities.

[0302] For example, when the UEI report and at least one of HARQ-ACK, SR, and CSI overlap in the uplink channel resources during transmission, if the target channel resources are used to carry the above information, but the target channel resources cannot fully carry the above information (i.e., the payload size of the target channel resources is less than the sum of the number of bits of the above information), drop processing is required. In this case, after priority calculation, the priority can be handled according to the principle that HARQ-ACK / SR has a higher priority than the UEI report, and the priority of the UEI report has a higher priority than CSI. Therefore, when dropping the above information, CSI is dropped first. If the sum of the remaining information bits is still greater than the payload size of the target channel resources, then the UEI report content is further dropped.

[0303] For example, for a UEI report whose content is divided into two parts, including: Part 1: Measurement Event ID / UEI report config ID, number of new beams; Part 2: new beam ID, L1-RSRP / L1-SINR; then when it is necessary to drop the UEI report content, Part 2 of the UEI report can be dropped as a whole first.

[0304] For example, when the UEI report contains measurement results for multiple cells or multiple carriers, meaning that the measurement results for multiple cells or multiple carriers satisfy the measurement event, the measurement results for these multiple cells or multiple carriers can be included in the UEI report. In this case, if it is necessary to drop the UEI report, the measurement results of each cell or carrier can be dropped sequentially according to the default order of the cell index or carrier index (e.g., from largest to smallest index) until the target uplink channel resources can carry the above information and no further dropping is needed.

[0305] For example, when the UEI report of part 2 contains measurement results of multiple cells or multiple carriers, the measurement results of each cell or carrier can be dropped in the report content of part 2 in the default order of cell index or carrier index (such as index from largest to smallest).

[0306] The above primarily describes the implementation scheme of this application from a methodological perspective. It is understood that, in order to achieve the above functions, the terminal device includes corresponding hardware structures and / or software modules for executing each function. Those skilled in the art should readily recognize that, based on the units and algorithm steps of the various examples described in conjunction with the embodiments disclosed herein, this application can be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software.
