[0094] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0095] In the present application, the reference to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" and the like means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment are included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in other some embodiments" and the like appearing in different places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "include", "contain", "have" and their variants mean "include but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0096] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or", for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this document is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean that A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. "At least one of the following" or the like means any combination of the items, including any combination of single item or multiple items. For example, at least one of a, b or c can mean a, b, c; a and b; a and c; b and c; or a and b and c. Where a, b, c can be single or multiple.

[0097] It can be understood that in the present application, "indication" can include direct indication, indirect indication, display indication, and implicit indication. When describing that certain indication information is used to indicate A, it can be understood that the indication information carries A, directly indicates A, or indirectly indicates A.

[0098] In the present application, the information indicated by the indication information is referred to as to-be-indicated information. In the specific implementation process, there are many ways to indicate the to-be-indicated information, for example, but not limited to, the to-be-indicated information can be directly indicated, such as the to-be-indicated information itself or the index of the to-be-indicated information, or the to-be-indicated information can be indirectly indicated by indicating other information, wherein the other information and the to-be-indicated information have an association relationship. It can also only indicate a part of the to-be-indicated information, and the other part of the to-be-indicated information is known or agreed in advance. For example, the indication of a specific information can also be achieved by means of the arrangement order of each information agreed in advance (for example, the protocol stipulates), thereby reducing the indication overhead to a certain extent.

[0099] The to-be-indicated information can be sent together as a whole, or can be sent separately into multiple sub-information, and the sending period and / or sending occasion of the sub-information can be the same or different. The specific sending method is not limited in the present application. The sending period and / or sending occasion of the sub-information can be predefined, for example, predefined according to the protocol, or configured by the transmitting end device by sending configuration information to the receiving end device.

[0100] It can be understood that the "sending" and "receiving" in the present application represent the direction of signal transmission. For example, "sending information to XX" can be understood as that the destination of the information is XX, which can include direct sending through the air interface, or indirect sending through the air interface by other units or modules. "Receiving information from YY" can be understood as that the source of the information is YY, which can include direct receiving from YY through the air interface, or indirect receiving from YY through the air interface from other units or modules. "Sending" can also be understood as "output" of the chip interface, and "receiving" can also be understood as "input" of the chip interface.

[0101] In other words, the sending and receiving can be between devices, for example, between network devices and terminal devices, or within a device, for example, between components, modules, chips, software modules or hardware modules in the device through a bus, wire or interface.

[0102] It can be understood that the information between the source and the destination of the information transmission can be processed as necessary, such as encoding, modulation, etc., but the destination can understand the valid information from the source. Similar expressions in the present application can be understood similarly, and will not be repeated here.

Currently, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, etc.), a vehicle-mounted device (e.g., a car, a bicycle, an electric vehicle, an airplane, a ship, a train, a high-speed rail, etc.), a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a smart home device (e.g., a refrigerator, a television, an air conditioner, an electricity meter, etc.), a smart robot, a workshop device, a wireless terminal in unmanned driving, a wireless terminal in remote surgery, a wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, a wireless terminal in a smart home, a flight device (e.g., a smart robot, a hot air balloon, a drone, an airplane), etc. The terminal device can also be other devices with terminal functions, for example, the terminal device can also be a device that plays a terminal function in D2D communication.The terminal device can also include a vehicle to everything (V2X) terminal device, a machine to machine / machine-type communications (M2M / MTC) terminal device, an internet of things (IoT) terminal device, a light terminal device, a reduced capability UE (REDCAP UE), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point (AP), a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, or a user device, a drone device, etc. For example, it can include a mobile phone (or called "cellular" phone), a computer with a mobile terminal device, a portable, pocket, handheld, built-in computer, etc. For example, personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc. It also includes limited devices, such as devices with lower power consumption, or devices with limited storage capacity, or devices with limited computing capacity, etc. For example, it includes information sensing devices such as bar code, radio frequency identification (RFID), sensors, global positioning system (GPS), laser scanners, etc. In this application, the terminal device with wireless transceiver function and the chip that can be provided in the terminal device are collectively referred to as terminal device.

[0106] It should be noted that the terminal device can be a device or apparatus with a chip, or a device or apparatus integrated with a circuit, or a chip, module or control unit in the above-mentioned device or apparatus, and the specific application is not limited.

[0107] (2) The access network device is a device deployed in a wireless access network to provide wireless communication functions for terminal devices. It can also be referred to as a RAN entity, an access node, a network node, or a communication device, etc.

[0108] Specifically, the access network device can be an access network device of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) related cellular system. For example, a fourth-generation (4G) mobile communication system, or a 5G mobile communication system. The access network device can also be an access network device in an open access network (open RAN, O-RAN or ORAN) or a cloud radio access network (CRAN). Alternatively, the access network device can also be an access network device in a communication system obtained by fusing two or more of the above communication systems.

[0109] The access network device includes, but is not limited to, an evolved Node B (eNB), a radio network controller (RNC), a Node B (NB), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a home base station (for example, a home evolved NodeB, or home Node B, HNB), a baseband unit (BBU), an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system, a macro base station, a micro base station, a wireless relay node, a donor node, a wireless controller in a CRAN scenario, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP), or a transmission and receiving point (TRP). The access network device can also be an access network device in a 5G mobile communication system. For example, a next generation NodeB (gNB), a TRP, a TP, or one or a group (including multiple antenna panels) of antenna panels of a base station in a new radio (NR) system, or a base station in a 5G mobile communication system. Alternatively, the access network device can also be a network node constituting a gNB or a transmission point. For example, a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a CU-control plane (CP), a CU-user plane (UP), or a radio unit (RU), etc. The CU and the DU can be separately arranged, or can be included in the same network element. For example, a BBU. The RU can be included in a radio frequency device or a radio frequency unit. For example, in a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH). Alternatively, the access network device can also be a server, a wearable device, a vehicle or a vehicle-mounted device, etc. For example, in a V2X technology, the access network device can be a road side unit (RSU).

[0110] It should be noted that in different systems, the CU (or CU-CP and CU-UP), DU or RU can also have different names, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings. For example, in the ORAN system, the CU can also be referred to as an open centralized unit (O-CU) or an open CU, the DU can also be referred to as an open distributed unit (O-DU), the centralized unit control plane (CU-CP) can also be referred to as an open centralized unit control plane (O-CU-CP) or an open CU-CP, the centralized unit user plane (CU-UP) can also be referred to as an open centralized unit user plane (O-CU-UP) or an open CU-UP, and the RU can also be referred to as an open radio unit (O-RU), which is not limited in the present application. Any one of the CU, CU-CP, CU-UP, DU and RU in the present application can be realized by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

[0111] In some deployments, the CU implements part of the functions of the gNB, and the DU implements part of the functions of the gNB, for example, the CU implements the functions of the radio resource control (RRC) layer, the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, and the DU implements the functions of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the media access control (MAC) layer and the physical (PHY) layer. Since the information of the RRC layer will eventually become the information of the PHY layer, or be transformed from the information of the PHY layer, under this architecture, high-layer signaling such as RRC layer signaling or PDCP layer signaling can also be considered to be sent by the DU, or sent by the DU+RU. It can be understood that the access network device can be a CU node, or a DU node, or a device including a CU node and a DU node. In addition, the CU can be divided into a network device in the access network RAN, or the CU can be divided into a network device in the core network CN, which is not limited here.

[0112] It should be noted that the access network device can be the device or apparatus shown above, or a component (for example, a chip), a module, or a unit in the device or apparatus shown above, and the specific application does not make any limitation.

[0113] (3) The core network element is responsible for access control, registration management, service management, mobility management, and the like of terminal device access to the network. For example, the core network element is an authentication management function (AMF) network element, a user plane function (UPF) network element, a session management (SMF) network element, or a policy control function (PCF) network element.

[0114] It should be noted that the core network element can be the device or apparatus shown above, or a component (for example, a chip), a module, or a unit in the device or apparatus shown above, and the specific application does not make any limitation.

[0115] In order to better understand the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following will first introduce some terms, concepts or processes related to the embodiments of the present application.

[0116] Multipath propagation is a propagation phenomenon in which radio waves (signals) transmitted from a transmitter antenna reach a receiver antenna along two or more paths. That is, in a terrestrial wireless communication environment, due to the reflection, scattering, and diffraction of radio waves by buildings and the ground, the signals transmitted by the transmitter can propagate through different paths to the receiver, resulting in so-called multipath signals at the receiving end.

[0117] The first path detected in the multipath signal is referred to as the first path, and the first path delay is the best approximation to the signal propagation delay between the transmitter and the receiver.

[0118] Currently, in the positioning scenario, the request and reporting of measurement results are usually based on the first path, and the terminal device can also report a certain number of multipath measurement results. By reporting the multipath measurement results, the surrounding environment can be reflected to a certain extent, but it is not accurate enough. Therefore, how to accurately measure and perceive the surrounding scatterers and report them is a technical problem that persons skilled in the art are trying to solve. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application propose the following solutions.

[0119] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a measurement and reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0120] Step S201: The first device measures the first signal to determine a measurement result.

[0121] The first device can refer to the first device 1000 shown in FIG. 10, for example. The second device can refer to the second device 2000 shown in FIG. 20, for example. The third device can refer to the third device 3000 shown in FIG. 30, for example. Figure 1 The first device can refer to the first device 1000 shown in FIG. 10, for example. The second device can refer to the second device 2000 shown in FIG. 20, for example. The third device can refer to the third device 3000 shown in FIG. 30, for example. Figure 1 The first device can refer to the first device 1000 shown in FIG. 10, for example. The second device can refer to the second device 2000 shown in FIG. 20, for example. The third device can refer to the third device 3000 shown in FIG. 30, for example. Figure 1 The first device can refer to the first device 1000 shown in FIG. 10, for example. The second device can refer to the second device 2000 shown in FIG. 20, for example. The third device can refer to the third device 3000 shown in FIG. 30, for example.

[0122] The first signal can be used for sensing, and can also be referred to as a sensing signal. The measurement result can include one or more of the following: time, phase, or angle.

[0123] For example, the first device can measure the first signal using a first panel used for sensing or measurement to determine the measurement result. The first device includes one or more panels, and the one or more panels include the first panel. For example, when the first device is a chip, the chip is used to control one or more panels, and the one or more panels include the first panel.

[0124] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: the first device receiving configuration information of the first signal, and the first device receiving the first signal.

[0125] For example, before the first device measures the first signal to determine the measurement result, the first device receives the configuration information of the first signal.

[0126] For example, the third device can send the configuration information of the first signal to the first device, and correspondingly, the first device receives the configuration information of the first signal from the third device. The third device sends the first signal to the first device, and correspondingly, the first device receives the first signal from the third device. For example, the third device can send the first signal to the first device based on the configuration information of the first signal, and correspondingly, the first device can receive the first signal from the third device based on the configuration information of the first signal.

[0127] Exemplarily, the configuration information of the first signal is used to indicate time-frequency domain resources for sending the first signal. Optionally, the configuration information comprises relevant parameters of the first signal. Exemplarily, the configuration information can comprise a type of the first signal, time-frequency resources for carrying the first signal, a sequence type corresponding to the first signal, a sending time of the first signal, a period, a time slot offset, or an antenna port used for sending the first signal. The time-frequency resources for carrying the first signal can comprise a number of time domain symbols and / or a size of frequency domain subcarriers. The sequence type corresponding to the first signal can comprise a type of a sequence for generating the first signal. The antenna port used for sending the first signal can refer to a physical antenna port or a logical antenna port, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Sending the first signal based on the configuration information of the first signal can refer to sending the first signal on the time-frequency domain resources indicated by the configuration information.

[0128] In yet another possible implementation, the method further comprises: the first device sending fourth indication information.

[0129] Exemplarily, the first device sends the fourth indication information before the first device determines the measurement result by measuring the first signal.

[0130] Exemplarily, the first device sends the fourth indication information to the second device, and correspondingly, the second device receives the fourth indication information from the first device.

[0131] The fourth indication information is used to indicate whether the first device has the capability of obstruction detection. That is, it can be understood that the first device reports capability information to the second device, and the capability information refers to whether the first device has the capability of obstruction detection.

[0132] In the above method, by means of the first device reporting capability information to the second device, the second device can subsequently perform scheduling based on the capability information.

[0133] In yet another possible implementation, the first device receives a request message.

[0134] Exemplarily, the first device receives the request message before the first device determines the measurement result by measuring the first signal. Optionally, the request message can also be referred to as a sensing request message.

[0135] Exemplarily, the second device sends the request message to the first device, and correspondingly, the first device receives the request message from the second device. After receiving the request message from the second device, the first device can perform obstruction detection to determine state information. Optionally, the second device can also send the request message to a third device, and correspondingly, the third device receives the request message from the second device. After receiving the request message from the second device, the third device sends the configuration information of the first signal to the first device.

[0136] The request message is used to request measurement. The request message comprises fifth indication information, which is used to indicate sending of the status information. That is, the fifth indication information is used to indicate that the first device sends the status information to the third device.

[0137] In the above method, by the above manner, the first device can send the status information to the second device based on the request message, so as to more accurately reflect the surrounding scatterer information.

[0138] In another possible implementation, the method further comprises: the first device determines the status information by performing occlusion detection.

[0139] For example, before the first device determines the measurement result by measuring the first signal, the first device determines the status information by performing occlusion detection.

[0140] The status information is used to indicate the state of the first device when measuring the first signal. It can also be understood that the status information is used to indicate whether the first device is occluded, or the status information is used to indicate whether the measurement result is available. The status information can also be replaced by availability information of the measurement result.

[0141] In a possible implementation, the status information comprises a first state and a second state, the first state is used to indicate that the first device is occluded, and the second state is used to indicate that the first device is not occluded. For example, the first device being occluded can mean that a panel included in the first device is occluded, or a beam or direction or angle is occluded, or a path is occluded. For example, the first device not being occluded can mean that a panel included in the first device is not occluded, or a beam or direction or angle is not occluded, or a path is not occluded. In another possible implementation, the status information comprises a first state and a second state, the first state is used to indicate that the measurement result is not available, and the second state is used to indicate that the measurement result is available. Optionally, the status information occupies one bit, 0 represents the first state, and 1 represents the second state.

[0142] Optionally, the occlusion detection comprises proximity detection. For example, the first device can use an additional sensor, such as a capacitive sensor, a proximity light sensor, or by sending a wireless signal, an ultrasonic wave, etc., to identify whether there is an object within a first distance, and determine the state information based on whether there is an object within the first distance. For example, the first distance within which there is an object is determined as the first state, and the first distance within which there is no object is determined as the second state. That is, the first state comprises the first distance within which there is an object, and the second state comprises the first distance within which there is no object. For example, the first distance can be agreed upon by a protocol, determined by the first device, or indicated by the second device, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, the first distance is 10 centimeters. It should be noted that the object mentioned in the present application includes living objects, such as animals and humans, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0143] The state information comprises one or more of the following: the state information is used to indicate a state of a panel when the first device measures the first signal; the state information is used to indicate a state of a beam or a direction or an angle when the first device measures the first signal; or the state information is used to indicate a state of a path when the first device measures the first signal.

[0144] The state of the panel comprises that the panel is occluded or the panel is not occluded. The panel can also be referred to as a communication panel, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The first device comprises one or more panels, which are used for sensing and / or measuring. When the first device comprises multiple panels, the first device performing occlusion detection can determine the state of each panel. In one example, the first device comprises one panel, and the first device performing occlusion detection determines that the state of the one panel is occluded. In another example, the first device comprises three panels, namely panel 1, panel 2, and panel 3, and the first device performing occlusion detection determines that the state of panel 1 is occluded, the state of panel 2 is not occluded, and the state of panel 3 is occluded.

[0145] The state of the beam or the direction or the angle comprises that the beam or the direction or the angle is occluded, or the beam or the direction or the angle is not occluded. The direction or the angle can refer to a beam direction or an angle corresponding to a beam. The number of beams comprises one or more. When the number of beams is more than one, the first device performing occlusion detection can determine the state of each beam. In one example, there is one beam, and the first device performing occlusion detection determines that the state of the one beam is occluded. In another example, there are four beams, namely beam 1, beam 2, beam 3, and beam 4, and the first device performing occlusion detection determines that the state of beam 1 is not occluded, the state of beam 2 is occluded, the state of beam 3 is not occluded, and the state of beam 4 is occluded.

[0146] The state of the path includes that the path is blocked or the path is not blocked. The number of paths is one or more. When the number of paths is more than one, the state of each path can be determined. In an example, there is one path, and the first device performs blocking detection to determine that the state of the one path is blocked. In an example, there are three paths, which are path 1, path 2, and path 3, and the first device performs blocking detection to determine that the state of path 1 is not blocked, the state of path 2 is blocked, and the state of path 3 is not blocked.

[0147] In the above method, when the state information includes the first state, it can be determined that the corresponding measurement result cannot accurately reflect the surrounding environment information in the first state. For example, when the state information includes the second state, it can be determined that the corresponding measurement result can accurately reflect the surrounding environment information in the second state. In summary, different state information can distinguish whether the measurement result can accurately reflect the surrounding scatterer information.

[0148] Step S202: The first device sends the measurement result and / or the state information.

[0149] For example, the first device sends the measurement result and / or the state information to the second device, and correspondingly, the second device receives the measurement result and / or the state information from the first device. Optionally, the measurement result and the state information can be carried in one message or in different messages, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0150] For example, the state information can be reported at different granularities, for example, the state information is used to indicate the state of the panel when the first device measures the first signal; for example, the state information is used to indicate the state of the beam or direction or angle when the first device measures the first signal; for example, the state information is used to indicate the state of the path when the first device measures the first signal.

[0151] In another possible implementation, the method further includes: the first device sending third indication information.

[0152] For example, the first device sends the third indication information to the second device, and correspondingly, the second device receives the third indication information from the first device.

[0153] The third indication information is used to indicate whether the blocking detection is performed. For example, the third indication information can occupy one bit, for example, 0 indicates that the blocking detection is not performed, and 1 indicates that the blocking detection is performed.

[0154] Optionally, the third indication information, the measurement result, and the state information can be carried in the same message or in different messages, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0155] In yet another possible implementation, after the second device receives the measurement result and / or the state information, the second device determines the communication map or the channel map based on the measurement result and / or the state information.

[0156] The process can be understood as that the second device receives a plurality of measurement results and / or a plurality of state information from a plurality of first devices, wherein one device corresponds to one measurement result and / or one state information. In an example, the communication map includes a plurality of grids, each grid can be determined based on the measurement result and / or the state information provided by one or more first devices, and each grid stores a plurality of parameter information, which can include the path loss of the grid to the base station, the suitable beam direction, or the label information, for example, the label information can include the occlusion, the non-occlusion, the occlusion detection, or the non-occlusion detection.

[0157] In the above method, the measurement result can reflect the relevant situation of the measured object, and the state information can reflect whether some factors affect the accuracy of the measurement result, for example, the first device is held by hand, and part of the panel included in the first device is occluded, at this time, the state information includes the first state, and accordingly, it can be determined that the corresponding measurement result cannot more accurately reflect the surrounding environmental information in the first state, thereby avoiding that the determined communication map or channel map cannot accurately reflect the surrounding environmental information due to the behavior of holding the first device and the like.

[0158] In yet another possible implementation, after the second device constructs the perfect communication map or channel map, if the first device needs the communication map or channel map for channel prediction, the first device sends a request message to the second device, the request message is used to request the second device to send the communication map or channel map, and then the first device performs occlusion detection to determine a detection result, and selects and determines the related parameters based on the detection result. For example, if the detection result is occlusion, the label information in the communication map or channel map is determined as the related parameters when the occlusion occurs, for example, when the label information is occlusion, the corresponding suitable beam direction is direction 1, and then the beam is transmitted in direction 1. It should be noted that the order of sending the request message and performing the occlusion detection by the first device is not limited, and the above is only an example for illustration.

[0159] In yet another possible implementation, after the second device constructs the complete communication map or channel map, if the first device needs the communication map or channel map for channel prediction, the first device sends a request message to the second device, the request message being used to request the second device to send the communication map or channel map, the request message including tag information, for example, the tag information can include occlusion, non-occlusion, occlusion detection, or non-occlusion detection, and the second device sends the corresponding communication map or channel map based on the tag information included in the request message. For example, the tag information included in the request message is occlusion, and the second device sends the tag information in the communication map or channel map as occlusion; for another example, the tag information included in the request message is non-occlusion, and the second device sends the tag information in the communication map or channel map as non-occlusion; for another example, the tag information included in the request message is occlusion detection, and the second device sends the tag information in the communication map or channel map as occlusion detection; for another example, the tag information included in the request message is non-occlusion detection, and the second device sends the tag information in the communication map or channel map as non-occlusion detection.

[0160] In Figure 2 In the described method, by the above manner, the first device can perform measurement by determining the measurement result by measuring the first signal, and can send the measurement result and / or the state information, wherein the measurement result can reflect the relevant situation of the measured object, and the state information can reflect whether some factors affect the accuracy of the measurement result, for example, the first device is held by a hand, and part of the panel included in the first device is occluded, at this time, the state information includes a first state, and accordingly, it can be determined that the corresponding measurement result cannot accurately reflect the surrounding environment information in the first state, and for example, the state information includes a second state, and it can be determined that the corresponding measurement result can accurately reflect the surrounding environment information in the second state. In summary, by the above manner, measurement can be performed and reported, and then the surrounding scatterer information can be accurately reflected.

[0161] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a measurement and reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and the method includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0162] Step S301: The first device sends first indication information.

[0163] For example, the first device sends the first indication information to the third device, and accordingly, the third device receives the first indication information from the first device.

[0164] The first indication information is used to indicate that the first device is blocked. The first device being blocked can mean that the first device is completely blocked, or that the first device is partially blocked. The first device being partially blocked can mean that one or more panels included in the first device are blocked. In an example, the first device includes three panels, panel 1, panel 2 and panel 3, panel 1 is blocked, and panel 2 and panel 3 are not blocked.

[0165] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: the first device performing blocking detection to determine the state information.

[0166] For example, before the first device sends the first indication information, the first device performs blocking detection to determine the state information. For details, refer to the related description in step S201, which will not be repeated here.

[0167] In another possible implementation, the method further includes: the first device sending fourth indication information.

[0168] For example, before the first device sends the first indication information, the first device sends the fourth indication information. The fourth indication information is used to indicate whether the first device has the capability of blocking detection. For details, refer to the related description in step S201, which will not be repeated here.

[0169] In the above method, by the first device reporting the capability information to the second device, the second device can subsequently perform scheduling based on the capability information.

[0170] In another possible implementation, the first device receives a request message.

[0171] For example, before the first device sends the first indication information, the first device receives a request message. The request message is used to request measurement. The request message includes fifth indication information, which is used to indicate sending state information. For details, refer to the related description in step S201, which will not be repeated here.

[0172] In the above method, by the above method, the first device can send the state information to the second device based on the request message, so as to more accurately reflect the surrounding scatterer information.

[0173] Step S302: The third device sends second indication information.

[0174] For example, the third device sends the second indication information to the first device, and correspondingly, the first device receives the second indication information from the third device.

[0175] The step is an optional step. In one possible implementation, after the first device sends the first indication information, the third device does not send the second indication information, and the first device can wait for a first interval, during which the panel or the modulation state is switched.

[0176] For example, in response to the first indication information, the third device sends the second indication information to the first device, and correspondingly, the first device receives the second indication information from the third device.

[0177] The second indication information is used to indicate the first interval. The first interval is used to switch the panel or adjust the state. For example, the first device includes a first panel and a second panel, the state of the first panel is blocked, the state of the second panel is unblocked, the first interval is used to switch from the first panel to the second panel, or the first interval is used to switch from the second panel to the first panel. For example, the first interval used to adjust the state can be used to adjust from the first state to the second state, or adjust from the second state to the first state. That is, it can be understood that the first device does not expect to be called or does not expect to receive a signal in the first interval. The first interval can be agreed by a protocol, determined by the first device, and is not limited by the embodiments of the present application. The related description of the first state and the second state can be referred to the related description in step S201.

[0178] In one example, the first device includes three panels, panel 1, panel 2 and panel 3, the first indication information is used to indicate that panel 1 is blocked, and panel 2 and panel 3 are not blocked, the third device sends the second indication information, the second indication information is used to indicate the first interval, and the first interval is used to switch from panel 1 to panel 2 or from panel 1 to panel 3.

[0179] In another possible implementation, the method further includes that the first device sends third indication information.

[0180] For example, after the third device sends the second indication information, the first device sends the third indication information. The third indication information is used to indicate whether the blocking detection is performed. For details, refer to the related description in step S202.

[0181] In another possible implementation, after the first device switches the panel or the state in the first interval, the first device receives configuration information of the first signal from the third device, receives the first signal from the third device, and measures the first signal to determine a measurement result. The first device sends the measurement result to the second device, and the second device determines a communication map or a channel map based on the measurement result. It should be noted that the state of the switched panel is unblocked, and the state of the adjusted state is the second state. For example, the first device measures the first signal to determine the measurement result by using the switched panel or in the adjusted state. For example, the label information in the communication map or the channel map is unblocked.

[0182] In an example, after the first device receives the second indication information from the third device, the first device switches from the first panel to the second panel, the state of the first panel is blocked, and the state of the second panel is unblocked. The first device receives the first signal from the third device by using the second panel, and measures the first signal by using the second panel to determine a measurement result.

[0183] In another possible implementation, after the first device switches the panel or the state in the first interval, the first device receives configuration information of the first signal from the third device, receives the first signal from the third device, and measures the first signal to determine a measurement result. The first device sends the measurement result to the second device, and the second device determines a communication map or a channel map based on the measurement result. It should be noted that the state of the switched panel is unblocked, and the state of the adjusted state is the second state.
