Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more specifically, to a data communication method and apparatus, a computer program product, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) can be used to estimate uplink channel frequency domain information for frequency-selective scheduling; it can also be used to estimate the uplink channel for downlink beamforming. SRS round-robin transmission refers to which physical antenna the terminal uses to transmit SRS information. The more antennas that can participate in transmitting the reference signal, the more accurate the channel estimation, and consequently, the higher the data rate that can be obtained.

[0003] As the number of receiving antennas in a terminal increases, the number of antennas involved in SRS round-robin transmission also increases, and the trigger frequency of antenna round-robin switching also increases significantly. High-frequency antenna switching generates insertion loss. Insertion loss leads to power imbalance between antennas, greatly affecting channel detection results and reducing channel estimation accuracy. Furthermore, in related technologies, the base station cannot detect the insertion loss caused by antenna switching in the terminal device, preventing the base station from adjusting the channel detection results.

[0004] Therefore, a new data communication method is needed.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0050] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a data reporting apparatus is provided, comprising:

[0078] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of the specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0079] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0080] 5G networks and other technologies support beamforming, enabling directional transmission to terminal devices. For a base station to transmit directionally, it must first detect the location of the terminal device and the quality of the transmission path, allowing for more precise allocation of base station resources to each device. The SRS information sent by the terminal device is one such method used by the base station to detect the terminal's location and channel quality.

[0081] In SRS mode, the more antennas that can participate in transmitting reference signals, the more accurate the channel estimation, and thus the higher the data rate. If only a fixed antenna transmits, information from other antennas will be lost, making it difficult to achieve the highest data rate. 5G terminal devices are generally equipped with multiple transmit and receive antennas. If the multiple antennas of the 5G terminal device are fully utilized to report channel information in turn, i.e., SRS antenna rotation, the base station can obtain more comprehensive information and perform more accurate data transmission.

[0082] Currently, commercial terminal equipment generally supports 4Rx (4-antenna reception), and in 3GPP R18 & 19, 6Rx (6-antenna reception) and 8Rx (8-antenna reception) terminal equipment are also in the standardization and research stage. As the number of receiving antennas in terminal equipment increases, the number of antennas involved in SRS round-robin transmission also increases, thus significantly increasing the trigger frequency of the SRS antenna round-robin switching. Theoretically, the calculation of SRS transmit power is related to the carrier frequency, carrier wave, and SRS resources, but not to the port. However, due to the insertion loss caused by antenna switching, the transmit power of each SRS port decreases to varying degrees, resulting in a power imbalance between SRS ports.

[0083] When there is a power imbalance between ports, the terminal device can compensate for the insertion loss if it has an adaptive insertion loss compensation mechanism. However, whether compensation can be performed depends on the transmit power margin. For example, if the terminal's power level is PC2 and its maximum transmit power is 26dBm, and the SRS transmit power is set to 24dBm, the terminal can compensate for the insertion loss by increasing the transmit power when the insertion loss is between 0 and 2dBm. However, when the insertion loss is greater than 2dBm, since the terminal's maximum transmit power is only 26dBm, it cannot compensate for the insertion loss and will transmit SRS at a transmit power lower than the set value of 24dBm.

[0084] For 6Rx and 8Rx terminals, each SRS antenna is highly likely to experience the above problems. Due to insertion loss, power imbalance occurs between SRS antennas, which greatly affects channel detection results and reduces channel estimation accuracy. At the same time, since the base station cannot obtain the accurate transmission power of each SRS antenna, it will also affect the reasonable resource scheduling and power allocation for the terminal.

[0085] To address one or more of the aforementioned issues, this exemplary embodiment first provides a data reporting method that can run on a terminal device. Of course, those skilled in the art can also run the method of this invention on other platforms as needed, and this exemplary embodiment does not impose any special limitations on this. (Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the data reporting method may include steps S110 and S120:

[0086] Step S110. If the response meets the triggering reporting condition, obtain the probe reference information insertion loss;

[0087] Step S120. Report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the reserved domain in the power margin reporting structure; or expand the power margin reporting structure to generate an expanded reporting structure, and report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the expanded reporting structure.

[0088] The above data reporting method responds to the fulfillment of the trigger reporting condition, obtains the insertion loss of the probe reference information, and reports the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the reserved domain in the power margin reporting structure; or expands the power margin reporting structure to generate an expanded reporting structure, and reports the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the expanded reporting structure. On the one hand, when the triggering reporting condition is met, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is acquired and reported. This solves the problem in related technologies where the base station cannot perceive the insertion loss of the probe reference signal of the terminal device. This allows the base station to adjust the channel detection results based on the probe reference signal reported by the terminal device, solving the problem of inaccurate channel detection results caused by the power imbalance between SRS antennas due to insertion loss in related technologies. This improves the accuracy of channel detection and also improves the efficiency of the base station in resource scheduling and power allocation for terminal devices. On the other hand, when reporting the insertion loss of the probe reference signal, it can be reported based on the reserved domain in the power margin reporting structure. However, due to the limitations of the power margin reporting structure, it can be expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. Reporting is then performed through the expanded reporting structure, increasing the diversity of reported probe reference signal insertion loss values.

[0089] The following provides a detailed explanation and description of each step involved in the data reporting method of the example embodiments of this disclosure.

[0090] First, the application scenarios and purposes of the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will be explained and described. Specifically, the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal to the base station through a power margin reporting structure when the terminal device triggers the reporting condition, or to expand the power margin reporting structure to generate an expanded reporting structure, and report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the expanded reporting structure. The main research focuses on how to report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal to the base station, reducing the inaccuracy of channel detection results caused by the base station's inability to perceive the insertion loss of the probe reference signal, and improving the accuracy of channel detection.

[0091] Secondly, steps S110 and S120 will be explained and described in detail.

[0092] In step S110, the response meets the triggering reporting condition, and the insertion loss of the probe reference information is obtained.

[0093] The triggering reporting condition is the condition under which the terminal device reports the insertion loss of the probe reference signal to the base station. When the terminal device meets this triggering reporting condition, it acquires the insertion loss of the probe reference signal and reports it to the base station. This triggering reporting condition includes: the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is greater than a preset insertion loss, and the transmission power is less than a preset power. That is, when the insertion loss of the probe reference signal of the terminal device is greater than the preset insertion loss, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported to the base station; or when the transmission power of the terminal device is less than the preset power and the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is greater than the preset insertion loss, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported to the base station; or when the transmission power of the terminal device is less than the preset power and the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is greater than the preset insertion loss, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported to the base station.

[0094] The insertion loss of the probe reference signal can be expressed as the relaxation amount ΔT of the probe reference signal transmission power due to the insertion loss. RxSRS ΔT RxSRS This usually refers to the reduction in transmission power caused by the antenna's round-robin firing of the probe reference signal antenna. In reality, it includes, but is not limited to, insertion loss. However, the main impact of the probe reference signal antenna's round-robin firing is insertion loss, so it is usually used to indicate the upper limit of insertion loss.

[0095] In step S120, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through the reserved domain in the power margin reporting structure; or the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure, and the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through the expanded reporting structure.

[0096] Power Headroom Report (PHR) is a format of MAC-CE (Media Access Control-Control Element), which is a medium through which terminal devices at the MAC layer report information to the base station. It is typically triggered by a specific event, indicated by a specific logical control identifier, and has a specific format. The power headroom report structure consists of two 16-bit lines and can report power headroom and related power parameters. (See reference) Figure 2 The power margin reporting structure includes P, R, and PH fields in the first row. The R field represents a reserved field. The P field, when configured with mpe-Reporting-FR2 (FR2 band maximum allowable exposure power report) and the serving cell operating in the FR2 band, will be set to 0 if the P-MPR (terminal allowed output power reduction value) is lower than P-MPR_00 to meet the maximum allowable exposure (MPE) requirement; otherwise, it will be set to 1. If mpe-Reporting-FR2 is not configured or the serving cell is operating in the FR1 band, this field indicates whether power back-off is performed under power control. If no power back-off is applied due to power control, the corresponding P... Cmax The fields may have different values, so the MAC entity should set the P field to 1; the PH field represents power margin; the second line includes the MPE, DPC, or R field, P cmax,f,c The `MPE` field, representing the maximum allowed exposed power, is used if `mpe-Reporting-FR2` is configured and the serving cell operates in the FR2 band. If the `P` field value is 1, this field indicates the corresponding power backoff value to meet MPE requirements. This field consists of 2 bits. If the above conditions are not met, this field is reserved, with `R` bits reserved. The `DPC` field (delta power class) represents the ΔPPowerClass (the decrease in maximum transmit power), i.e., the measured value of the DPC level (in dB), if the conditions for triggering DPC reporting are not met. This field is 2 bits long. If the serving cell operates on FR2, there is either an `R` bit or MPE. cmax The maximum transmit power indication field is 6 bits long and corresponds to a range of 64 maximum transmit power values ​​from 0 to 63. This value can be used to calculate the associated pH.

[0097] In this example embodiment, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through the reserved domain in the power margin reporting structure, including:

[0098] Obtain the first reserved domain in the power margin reporting structure, and report the insertion loss of the detection reference signal through the first reserved domain.

[0099] Specifically, when reporting the insertion loss of the probe reference signal using the power margin reporting structure, the R field in the first row of the power margin reporting structure, i.e. the reserved field in the first row, can be used to report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal.

[0100] Furthermore, when reporting through the reserved field in the first row, since the size of the reserved field is only 1 bit, it can only report whether the relationship exists. Therefore, the value reported by the reserved field can be 1 or 0. In one embodiment, when the reported value is 1, it indicates that the insertion loss of the probe reference signal of the user equipment is greater than 0; when the reported value is 0, it indicates that the insertion loss of the probe reference signal of the user equipment is less than 0.

[0101] In another embodiment, when the reported value is 1, it indicates that the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the user equipment is greater than the value of the preset insertion loss; when the reported value is 0, it indicates that the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the user equipment is less than the value of the preset insertion loss.

[0102] In this example embodiment, the 2-bit reserved field in the second row of the power headroom reporting structure can also be used to report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal. Reporting the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the reserved field in the power headroom reporting structure can include:

[0103] The second reserved field in the power margin reporting structure is obtained. When the second reserved field does not perform DPC or MPE functions, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through the second reserved field.

[0104] Specifically, the second reserved field in the second row of the power margin reporting structure is the MPE, DPC, or R field in the second row. When this field does not perform the DPC or MPE function, the insertion loss of the probed reference signal is reported to the base station through this field.

[0105] Further reference Figure 3 As shown, reporting the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the second reserved domain may include:

[0106] Step S310. Determine the reporting instructions for the second reserved domain and the numerical range corresponding to each reporting instruction;

[0107] Step S320. Obtain the reported value of the insertion loss of the probe reference signal of the terminal device, and determine the target value range corresponding to the reported value based on the reported value of the insertion loss of the probe reference signal.

[0108] Step S330. Determine the target reporting instruction based on the target value range, and report the reporting value and the target value range using the target reporting instruction.

[0109] The following will further explain and illustrate steps S310-S330. Specifically, the second reserved field occupies 2 bits and can carry 4 instructions, namely 00, 01, 10, and 11. Each instruction has a corresponding range for reporting the insertion loss value of the probe reference signal. When reporting is required, the reported value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the terminal device is obtained. Based on this reported value, the value range in which the reported value lies is determined, and this value range is defined as the target value range. After determining the target value range, the corresponding target reporting instruction is determined based on the target value range. Through the target reporting instruction, the reported value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the terminal device and the target value range corresponding to the target reporting instruction are reported to the base station. In this example embodiment, the value range corresponding to the reporting instruction is not specifically limited.

[0110] In this example embodiment, reporting the insertion loss of the probe reference signal through the second reserved domain may further include:

[0111] Determine the reporting instructions for the second reserved domain and the insertion loss value corresponding to each reporting instruction;

[0112] Obtain the reported value of the insertion loss of the probe reference signal from the terminal device, and determine the target insertion loss value that is equal to the reported value among the insertion loss values;

[0113] Based on the target insertion loss value, a target reporting instruction is determined, and the reported value is reported using the target reporting instruction.

[0114] Specifically, the second reserved field occupies 2 bits and can carry 4 instructions, namely 00, 01, 10, and 11. Each instruction has a corresponding insertion loss value. For example, 00 can indicate an insertion loss value of 1 dB, 01 can indicate an insertion loss value of 2 dB, etc. In this example embodiment, the insertion loss value corresponding to each instruction is not specifically limited. When reporting is required, the reported value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the terminal device is obtained. Based on the reported value, a target insertion loss value that is equal to the reported value among the insertion loss values ​​corresponding to the reporting instruction is determined. After determining the target insertion loss value, the reporting instruction corresponding to the target insertion loss value is determined as the target reporting instruction. The reported value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the terminal device is reported through this target reporting instruction.

[0115] In this example embodiment, when it is necessary to simultaneously report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal and the power margin of the probe reference signal of the terminal device, the power margin report of the probe reference signal is of type 3, while the existing power margin reporting structure can only report type 1 power margin reports, thus failing to meet the requirements. Furthermore, the existing power margin reporting structure has a maximum of only 2 bits of continuous field, indicating only four cases. Therefore, the power margin reporting structure can be extended to obtain a first extended reporting structure, and a first logical control identifier is used in the MAC header to indicate this first extended reporting structure. This first extended reporting structure is used to report the insertion loss of the probe reference signal resources of the terminal device and the power margin of the probe reference signal.

[0116] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. The insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through this expanded reporting structure, which may include:

[0117] Step S410. Expand the power margin reporting structure to obtain a first expanded reporting structure, and determine the first logic control identifier corresponding to the first expanded reporting structure;

[0118] Step S420. The PH field of the first extended reporting structure indicates the power margin report of the terminal device, and the probe reference signal insertion loss field of the first extended reporting structure indicates the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the terminal device;

[0119] Step S430. Using the first logic control identifier, report the power margin report and the value of the insertion loss of the probe reference signal.

[0120] The following will further explain and illustrate steps S410-S430. Specifically, firstly, the power margin reporting structure is expanded into a 3-line structure. The first expanded reporting structure is shown below. Figure 5 As shown. After obtaining the first extended reporting structure, the first logical control identifier corresponding to this first extended reporting structure can be determined. In the first extended reporting structure, the P field, MPE field, and P... CMAX,f,c The content indicated by these fields is consistent with that in the power headroom reporting structure. The PH field indicates the Type 3 power headroom report, which is the difference between the rated maximum transmit power of each active serving cell and the estimated transmit power of the probe reference signal. In other words, it is the power headroom information of the interrupted device on the current probe reference signal resources when transmitting probe reference signals. The probe reference signal insertion loss field, i.e., the SRS IL field, indicates the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the terminal device. This field is 6 bits long. In actual reporting, it can be reported with 2 bits, 4 bits, or 6 bits. In this example embodiment, no specific limitation is made. When reported with 6 bits, up to 64 insertion loss conditions can be indicated. All R fields in the first extended reporting structure are reserved fields. When reporting, the first logical control identifier is written into the MAC header to indicate the reporting of the first extended reporting structure, thereby reporting the power headroom report and the probe reference signal insertion loss value in the first extended reporting structure to the base station.

[0121] In this example embodiment, if the existing power headroom reporting structure is reused, there will only be a total of 3 bits of reserved field, which can only indicate the insertion loss on the probe reference signal resource, but cannot be specific to a particular probe reference signal port. Therefore, the power headroom reporting structure can be expanded to generate a second expanded reporting structure, specifically for reporting the probe reference signal insertion loss and other related information. The second expanded reporting structure is described below. Figure 6 As shown.

[0122] refer to Figure 7 As shown, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. The insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through this expanded reporting structure, which may include:

[0123] Step S710. Expand the power margin reporting structure to obtain a second expanded reporting structure, and determine the second logic control identifier corresponding to the second expanded reporting structure;

[0124] Step S720. The PH field of the second extended reporting structure indicates the power margin report of the terminal device, the indication field of the second extended structure indicates the probe signal port of the terminal device, and the probe reference signal insertion loss field corresponding to the indication field indicates the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss corresponding to the probe signal port;

[0125] Step S730. Report the power margin report, the probe signal port, and the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss corresponding to each probe signal port through the second logic control identifier.

[0126] The following will further explain and illustrate steps S710-S730. Specifically, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate a second expanded reporting structure, and a second logic control identifier corresponding to this second expanded reporting structure is determined. In this second expanded reporting structure, the P field, MPE field, and P... CMAX,f,c The content indicated by these fields is consistent with that in the power headroom reporting structure; the R field is a reserved field; the PH field indicates the power headroom report for Type 3, which is the difference between the rated maximum transmit power of each active serving cell and the estimated transmit power of the probe reference signal, i.e., the power headroom information on the current probe reference signal resource when the interrupted device is transmitting the probe reference signal; S1, S2, S3, and S4 are indication fields, indicating the probe reference signal port of the terminal device; the SRS IL1, SRS IL2, SRS IL3, and SRS IL4 fields are probe reference signal insertion loss fields, used to indicate the insertion loss value on the port of the current probe reference signal resource of the terminal device. This indication field corresponds to the probe reference signal insertion loss field, that is, S1 corresponds to SRS IL1, and so on. If S1 is 1, it indicates that the SRS IL1 field exists; if S2 is 1, it indicates that the SRS IL2 field exists, and so on. A sounding reference signal resource has at least one port and at most four ports; therefore, the SRS IL1 field is mandatory, while the SRS IL2, SRS IL3, and SRS IL4 fields are optional. Each field is 6 bits, which can indicate up to 64 insertion loss conditions. In actual reporting, it can be reported using 2 bits, 4 bits, or 6 bits; this example embodiment does not impose a specific limitation. When reporting, the terminal device writes this second logical control identifier into the MAC header to indicate the reporting of this second extended reporting structure, and then reports the power margin report and the sounding reference signal insertion loss value of each port in the second extended reporting structure to the base station.

[0127] For example, when the terminal device has two ports, in the second extended reporting structure, the values ​​of the S1 and S2 fields are 1, the value of the SRS IL1 field is the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the first probe reference signal port, and the value of the SRS IL2 field is the value of the probe reference signal insertion loss of the second probe reference signal port.

[0128] In this example embodiment, the power margin reporting structure can be further expanded to generate a third expanded reporting structure, which refers to... Figure 8 As shown. This third extended reporting structure can report the difference in insertion loss between each probe reference signal port. Reference Figure 9 As shown, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. The insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through this expanded reporting structure, which may include:

[0129] Step S910. Expand the power margin reporting structure to obtain a third expanded reporting structure, and determine the third logic control identifier corresponding to the third expanded reporting structure;

[0130] Step S920. The PH field of the third extended reporting structure indicates the power margin report of the terminal device, the insertion loss difference field of the third extended reporting structure indicates the insertion loss difference of the probe reference signal between every two probe reference signal ports, and the indication field of the third extended reporting structure indicates whether the insertion loss difference field exists.

[0131] Step S930. Using the third logic control identifier, report the power margin report and the insertion loss difference between every two probe reference signal ports.

[0132] The following will further explain and illustrate steps S910-S930. Specifically, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to obtain a third expanded reporting structure, and a third logic control identifier corresponding to this third expanded reporting structure is determined. Figure 8 In the third extended reporting structure shown, the P field, MPE field, and P... CMAX,f,cThe content indicated by these fields is consistent with that in the power headroom reporting structure; the R fields are all reserved fields; the PH field indicates the power headroom report for Type 3, which is the difference between the rated maximum transmit power of each active serving cell and the estimated transmit power of the probe reference signal, i.e., the power headroom information of the interrupted device on the current probe reference signal resource when transmitting probe reference signals; S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 are indicator fields indicating whether an insertion loss difference field exists; Delta SRS IL1, Delta SRS IL2, Delta SRS IL3, Delta SRS IL4, Delta SRS IL5, and Delta SRS IL6 are insertion loss difference fields used to indicate the insertion loss difference between every two probe reference signal ports, and all are optional. The indicator fields correspond to the insertion loss difference fields, i.e., S1 corresponds to delta SRS IL1, and so on. If S1 is 1, it indicates that the deltaSRS IL1 field exists; if S2 is 1, it indicates that the deltaSRS IL2 field exists, and so on. A probe reference signal resource has at least one port and at most four. When the number of ports is four, there are at most six possible scenarios, therefore, there are six indication fields. Each insertion loss difference field occupies 6 bits, which can indicate at most 64 insertion loss difference scenarios. In actual reporting, it can be reported using 2 bits, 4 bits, or 6 bits; this example embodiment does not specifically limit this. When reporting, the terminal device writes this third logical control identifier into the MAC header to indicate the reporting of this third extended reporting structure, and then reports the power margin report in the third extended reporting structure and the difference in probe reference signal insertion loss between every two ports to the base station.

[0133] In this example embodiment, the power margin reporting structure can be further expanded to obtain a fourth expanded reporting structure. This fourth expanded reporting structure reports the insertion loss difference between the main port and other ports, where the main port is the port with the highest power among the multiple ports. (Fourth expanded reporting structure reference) Figure 10 As shown. Reference Figure 11 As shown, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. The insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through this expanded reporting structure, which may include:

[0134] Step S1110. Expand the power margin reporting structure to obtain a fourth expanded reporting structure, and determine the fourth logic control identifier corresponding to the fourth expanded reporting structure;

[0135] Step S1120. The PH field of the fourth extended reporting structure indicates the power margin report of the terminal device, the insertion loss difference field of the fourth extended reporting structure indicates the insertion loss difference of the probe reference signal between the probe reference signal master port and other ports, and the indication field of the fourth extended reporting structure indicates whether the insertion loss difference field exists.

[0136] Step S1130. Using the fourth logic control identifier, report the power margin report and the insertion loss difference between the main port of the detection reference signal and other ports.

[0137] The following will further explain and illustrate steps S1110-S1130. Specifically, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to obtain a fourth expanded reporting structure, and a third logic control identifier corresponding to this fourth expanded reporting structure is determined. Figure 10 In the fourth extended reporting structure shown, the P field, MPE field, and P... CMAX,f,c The content indicated by these fields is consistent with that in the power headroom reporting structure; the R fields are all reserved fields; the PH field indicates the power headroom report for Type 3, which is the difference between the rated maximum transmit power of each active serving cell and the estimated transmit power of the probe reference signal, i.e., the power headroom information on the current probe reference signal resource when the interrupted device is transmitting probe reference signals; S1, S2, and S3 are indicator fields indicating whether an insertion loss difference field exists; Delta SRS IL1, Delta SRS IL2, and Delta SRS IL3 fields are insertion loss difference fields, used to indicate the difference in probe reference signal insertion loss between the probe reference signal master port and other ports, and all are optional. The indicator fields correspond to the insertion loss difference fields, i.e., S1 corresponds to delta SRS IL1, and so on. If S1 is 1, it indicates that the delta SRS IL1 field exists; if S2 is 1, it indicates that the delta SRS IL2 field exists, and so on. A probe reference signal resource has at least one port and at most four ports. When the number of ports is 4, there are at most 3 possible scenarios, therefore, there are 3 indicator fields. Each insertion loss difference field occupies 6 bits, which can indicate up to 64 insertion loss difference scenarios. In actual reporting, 2 bits, 4 bits, or 6 bits can be used for reporting; this example embodiment does not impose a specific limitation. When reporting, the terminal device writes this fourth logical control identifier into the MAC header to indicate the reporting of this fourth extended reporting structure, and then reports the power margin report and the insertion loss difference between the main port of the probe reference signal and other ports in the fourth extended reporting structure to the base station.

[0138] In this example embodiment, the imbalance in insertion loss between the probe reference signal ports leads to an imbalance in the transmission power between the ports. This inconsistency in transmission power is primarily due to the influence of insertion loss; that is, insertion loss directly and significantly reflects the power of the probe reference signal ports. Therefore, the difference in transmission power between the probe reference signal ports can be directly reported. Figure 12 As shown, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. The insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through this expanded reporting structure, which may include:

[0139] Step S1210. Expand the power margin reporting structure to obtain a fifth expanded reporting structure, and determine the fifth logic control identifier corresponding to the fifth expanded reporting structure;

[0140] Step S1220. The PH field of the fifth extended reporting structure indicates the power margin report of the terminal device, the transmit power difference field of the fifth extended reporting structure indicates the transmit power difference between every two probe reference signal ports, and the indication field of the fifth extended reporting structure indicates whether the transmit power difference field exists.

[0141] Step S1230. Using the fifth logic control identifier, report the power margin report and the transmission power difference between every two detection reference signal ports.

[0142] The following will further explain and illustrate steps S1210-S1230. Specifically, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to obtain a fifth expanded reporting structure, and a fifth logic control identifier corresponding to this fifth expanded reporting structure is determined. The fifth expanded reporting structure refers to... Figure 13 As shown, the P field, MPE field, and P CMAX,f,cThe content indicated by these fields is consistent with that in the power margin reporting structure; the R fields are all reserved fields; the PH field indicates the power margin report for Type 3, which is the difference between the rated maximum transmit power of each active serving cell and the estimated transmit power of the probe reference signal, i.e., the power margin information of the interrupted device on the current probe reference signal resource when transmitting probe reference signals; S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 are indicator fields indicating whether there is a transmit power difference field; Delta SRSPower1, Delta SRS Power2, Delta SRS Power3, Delta SRS Power4, Delta SRS Power5, and Delta SRS Power6 are transmit power difference fields used to indicate the transmit power difference between every two probe reference signal ports, and all are optional. The indicator fields correspond to the transmit power difference fields, i.e., S1 corresponds to delta SRS power1, and so on. If S1 is 1, it indicates that the delta SRS power1 field exists; if S2 is 1, it indicates that the delta SRS power2 field exists, and so on. A probe reference signal resource has at least one port and at most four. When the number of ports is four, there are at most six possible scenarios, therefore, there are six indication fields. Each transmit power difference field occupies 6 bits, indicating a maximum of 64 transmit power difference scenarios. In actual reporting, 2 bits, 4 bits, or 6 bits can be used; this example embodiment does not impose a specific limitation. When reporting, the terminal device writes this fifth logical control identifier into the MAC header to indicate the reporting of this fifth extended reporting structure, thereby reporting the power margin report in the fifth extended reporting structure and the transmit power difference between every two probe reference signal ports to the base station.

[0143] In this example embodiment, the power margin reporting structure can be further expanded to obtain a sixth expanded reporting structure. This sixth expanded reporting structure is used to report the difference in transmission power between the main port and other ports. The sixth expanded reporting structure is as follows: Figure 14 As shown. Reference Figure 15 As shown, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. The insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported through this expanded reporting structure, which may include:

[0144] Step S1510. Expand the power margin reporting structure to obtain a sixth expanded reporting structure, and determine the sixth logic control identifier corresponding to the sixth expanded reporting structure;

[0145] Step S1520. The PH field of the sixth extended reporting structure indicates the power margin report of the terminal device, the transmit power difference field of the sixth extended reporting structure indicates the transmit power difference between the main port of the probe reference signal and other ports, and the indication field of the sixth extended reporting structure indicates whether the transmit power difference field exists.

[0146] Step S1530. Using the sixth logic control identifier, report the power margin report and the transmission power difference between the main port of the detection reference signal and other ports.

[0147] The following will further explain and illustrate steps S1510-S1530. Specifically, the power margin reporting structure is expanded to obtain a sixth expanded reporting structure, and a sixth logic control identifier corresponding to this sixth expanded reporting structure is determined. Figure 14 In the sixth extended reporting structure shown, the P field, MPE field, and P... CMAX,f,c The content indicated by these fields is consistent with that in the power headroom reporting structure; the R fields are all reserved fields; the PH field indicates the power headroom report for Type 3, which is the difference between the rated maximum transmit power of each active serving cell and the estimated transmit power of the probe reference signal, i.e., the power headroom information on the current probe reference signal resource when the interrupted device transmits probe reference signals; S1, S2, and S3 are indicator fields indicating whether a transmit power difference field exists; the delta SRS power1, delta SRS power2, and delta SRS power3 fields are transmit power difference fields used to indicate the transmit power difference between the probe reference signal master port and other ports, and all are optional. The indicator fields correspond to the transmit power difference fields, i.e., S1 corresponds to delta SRS power1, and so on. If S1 is 1, it indicates that the delta SRS power1 field exists; if S2 is 1, it indicates that the delta SRS power2 field exists, and so on. A probe reference signal resource has at least one port and at most four ports. When the number of ports is 4, there are a maximum of 3 possible scenarios, therefore, there are 3 indicator fields. Each transmit power difference field occupies 6 bits, which can indicate a maximum of 64 transmit power difference scenarios. In actual reporting, 2 bits, 4 bits, or 6 bits can be used for reporting; this example embodiment does not impose a specific limitation. When reporting, the terminal device writes this sixth logical control identifier into the MAC header to indicate the reporting of this sixth extended reporting structure, and then reports the power margin report in the sixth extended reporting structure and the transmit power difference between every two probe reference signal ports to the base station.

[0148] The data reporting device provided in this disclosure has at least the following advantages: On the one hand, when the triggering reporting condition is met, the insertion loss of the probe reference signal is obtained and the obtained insertion loss of the probe reference signal is reported, which solves the problem in related technologies that the base station cannot sense the insertion loss of the probe reference signal of the terminal device. This allows the base station to adjust the channel detection results according to the probe reference signal reported by the terminal device, and solves the problem inaccurate channel detection results caused by the power imbalance between SRS antennas due to insertion loss in related technologies. This improves the accuracy of channel detection and also improves the efficiency of the base station in resource scheduling and power allocation for the terminal device. On the other hand, when reporting the insertion loss of the probe reference signal, it can be reported according to the reserved domain in the power margin reporting structure. However, due to the limitation of the power margin reporting structure, the power margin reporting structure can be expanded to generate an expanded reporting structure. Reporting is performed through the expanded reporting structure, which improves the diversity of reported probe reference signal insertion loss values.

[0149] This disclosure also provides a data reporting device, as illustrated in the example embodiments. Figure 16 As shown, it may include: an insertion loss acquisition module 1610 and an insertion loss reporting module 1620. Wherein:
