[0109] Further, each element, each row, or each column in a table of embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and a combination of any element, any row, or any column can be implemented as an independent embodiment.

[0110] In some embodiments, since beam quality changes are most timely known by a terminal, the length of a reporting period configured by a base station, or the timing of aperiodic reporting configured by the base station, can not be the most appropriate. Taking a period as an example, if the configured period is too short, the best K beams reported twice can be the same or change little, wasting signaling; if the configured period is too long, the beams can have changed, but the reporting time has not arrived, affecting communication quality. Taking aperiodic reporting as an example, the timing of reporting triggered by the base station can be too early or too late, not the most appropriate timing.

[0111] In some embodiments, there can be multiple possible events and reporting configurations, and if a beam meets the entering condition corresponding to an event, the terminal triggers a beam report. However, this condition may be met for a period of time, and if there is no other constraint, the terminal will continue to report, which will also bring additional signaling overhead and waste of resources. To solve this problem, the number of reports N can be limited, that is, at most only N times of reporting. Only when the network device triggers retransmission again, the terminal will report again; otherwise, it will not report again. The problem now is that if the network side triggers retransmission is for the first report (for example, the first report is the beam report sent at the historical time), and the beam triggered by the event changes when the terminal receives the retransmission indication or at the time corresponding to the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource corresponding to the retransmission indication, that is, the beam report at the current time becomes the second report, how does the terminal do in this case, which is a problem to be solved.

[0112] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a communication method, by determining to meet the first condition without requiring to send the first report, that is, the first report can not be sent in the case of meeting the first condition, thereby guaranteeing the effectiveness and real-time performance of the report, improving the performance of the beam-based communication, and reducing the signaling overhead.

[0124] FIG. 2 is an interaction diagram illustrating a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the present embodiment relates to a communication method for the communication system 100, the above-mentioned method comprising:

[0125] At step S2101, the network device 102 sends first information to the terminal 101.

[0126] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives the first information sent by the network device 102. The first information is used to instruct the terminal to send the first report again. For example, after the terminal sends the first report to the network device a preset number of times, the terminal no longer sends the first report to the network device, and the network device can instruct the terminal to send the first report again through the first information. The first report is a report corresponding to the first reference signal resource. The report corresponding to the first reference signal resource can be understood as a report sent by the terminal to the network device when the measurement result of the first reference signal resource meets an event. For example, the first report includes but is not limited to the identification of the first reference signal resource, the measurement result of the first reference signal resource, etc. The measurement result includes, for example, Layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP), layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (L1-SINR), etc., but is not limited thereto. The preset number of times can be greater than or equal to 1, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0127] In some embodiments, after the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device, it can be determined whether a first condition is met. If the first condition is met, the terminal is not required to send the first report to the network device. The terminal not being required to send the first report to the network device can also mean that the terminal does not need to send the first report to the network device, or the terminal no longer sends the first report to the network device, or the terminal refuses to send the first report to the network device, etc., and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first information has at least one of the following features: the first information is cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled based on a configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (CS-RNTI) or a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI); the first information contains a new data indicator (NDI) with a first value or a second value different from the first value; the first information contains a hybrid automatic repeat-reQuest process identity (HARQ process ID) same as a HARQ process ID corresponding to the first report; the first information contains time domain indication information of the PUSCH resource; and the first information contains frequency domain indication information of the PUSCH resource.

[0129] In some embodiments, if the historical transmission of the first report is based on a CG PUSCH, i.e., the first report transmitted before the current time or at a historical time is based on a CG PUSCH, the first information can be CRC scrambled based on a CS-RNTI, and / or the NDI contained in the first information is a first value. For example, the first value can be 1, or 0, but is not limited thereto. The current time before which can also be referred to as a historical time, a historical moment, etc., and the disclosure does not make a limitation.

[0130] Alternatively, the historical transmission of the first report is based on a CG PUSCH, i.e., the first report transmitted before the current time or at a historical time is based on a CG PUSCH. In order to trigger the retransmission of the first report, the first information sent by the network device can be CRC scrambled based on a CS-RNTI, the value of the bit corresponding to the NDI contained in the first information is "1", and the HARQ process ID contained in the first information is same as the HARQ process ID corresponding to the historically transmitted first report. In this way, after receiving the first information, the terminal knows that the network device requires the terminal to transmit the first report again. The HARQ process ID corresponding to the historically transmitted first report can be obtained based on the method of obtaining the HARQ process ID of the CG PUSCH, and the present disclosure does not make a limitation.

[0131] Optionally, the historical transmission of the first report is based on a CG PUSCH. That is, the first report transmitted before the current time or at a historical time is based on a CG PUSCH. In order to trigger the retransmission of the first report, the first information transmitted by the network device can be CRC scrambled based on a CS-RNTI, the first information contains a NDI corresponding to a bit value of "0", and the first information contains a HARQ process ID which is the same as the HARQ process ID corresponding to the historical transmission of the first report. In this way, after receiving the first information, the terminal knows that the network device requires the terminal to send the first report again. The HARQ process ID corresponding to the historical transmission of the first report can be obtained based on the method of obtaining the HARQ process ID of the CG PUSCH, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0132] In some embodiments, if the historical transmission of the first report is based on a DG PUSCH, that is, the first report transmitted before the current time or at a historical time is based on a DG PUSCH, the first information is CRC scrambled based on a C-RNTI, and / or the NDI contained in the first information is flipped based on the NDI value corresponding to the historical transmission of the DG PUSCH. For example, if the NDI value corresponding to the historical transmission of the DG PUSCH is a first value, the NDI value contained in the first information is a second value. The second value is the flip of the first value. For example, if the first value is 1, the second value can be 0. For another example, if the first value is 0, the second value can be 1. The specific values of the first value and the second value are only examples and are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0133] Optionally, the first report is transmitted based on a DG PUSCH, i.e., the first report is transmitted based on a DG PUSCH at a time before the current time or a historical time. The DG PUSCH transmission is scheduled by a downlink control information (DCI). The DCI for scheduling the DG PUSCH for the historical transmission is referred to as a historical DCI. The historical DCI includes a first value for a NDI and a first ID for a HARQ process ID when scheduling the DG PUSCH for the historical transmission. To trigger the retransmission of the first report, the first information transmitted by the network device is CRC scrambled based on a C-RNTI. The first information includes a second value for the NDI corresponding to the bit of the NDI included in the historical DCI, and the first information includes the first ID for the HARQ process ID corresponding to the HARQ process ID for the historical transmission of the first report. In this way, after receiving the first information, the terminal knows that the network device requires the terminal to transmit the first report again. For example, the first report is transmitted based on a DG PUSCH, i.e., the first report is transmitted based on a DG PUSCH at a time before the current time or a historical time. The DG PUSCH transmission is scheduled by a downlink control information (DCI). The DCI for scheduling the DG PUSCH for the historical transmission is referred to as a historical DCI. The historical DCI includes a first value for a NDI and a first ID for a HARQ process ID when scheduling the DG PUSCH for the historical transmission. To trigger the retransmission of the first report, the first information transmitted by the network device is CRC scrambled based on a C-RNTI. The first information includes a value of 1 for the NDI corresponding to the bit of the NDI included in the historical DCI, i.e., 1 is the inversion of 0 included in the historical DCI. The first information includes the first ID for the HARQ process ID corresponding to the HARQ process ID for the historical transmission of the first report. In this way, after receiving the first information, the terminal knows that the network device requires the terminal to transmit the first report again.

[0134] For example, the first report is sent based on a DG PUSCH, i.e., the first report is sent based on a DG PUSCH before the current time or at a historical time. The DG PUSCH is scheduled by a downlink control information (DCI). The DCI for scheduling the DG PUSCH is referred to as a historical DCI. The historical DCI includes a first value of a NDI and a first ID of a HARQ process ID when scheduling the DG PUSCH. To trigger the retransmission of the first report, the network device sends a first information scrambled by a C-RNTI. The first information includes a value of 0 of a bit corresponding to the NDI and the first ID of the HARQ process ID. Thus, the terminal knows that the network device requires the terminal to send the first report again after receiving the first information.

[0135] In some embodiments, the terminal can ignore the first information if there is no hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) or transport block to be transmitted on the DG PUSCH scheduled by the first information.

[0136] Optionally, the ignoring of the first information means that the terminal does not send any information on the DG PUSCH scheduled by the first information.

[0137] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, which can be, for example, "indication information", "configuration information", etc.

[0138] It can be understood that, in order to ensure the effectiveness and real-time performance of the report, improve the performance of the beam-based communication, and reduce the signaling overhead, the terminal is not required to send the first report to the network device under the condition of meeting the first condition. The present disclosure provides various embodiments, i.e., the first condition has various forms, and "the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device" is only one possible condition. That is, step S2101 is optional. For example, the terminal can determine whether the first condition is met by whether the first information is received, and step S2101 can be performed. The terminal can also determine whether the first condition is met by other ways, and step S2101 can be omitted.

[0139] In step S2102, the terminal 101 determines that the first condition is met.

[0140] In some embodiments, the terminal is not required to send the first report to the network device in the case that the first condition is met. For example, step S2102 is performed. It can be understood that, if the first condition is met, the terminal is not required to send the first report to the network device, or the terminal no longer sends the first report to the network device.

[0141] In some embodiments, the terminal sends the second report to the network device in the case that the first condition is met. For example, step S2103 is performed. The second report is a report corresponding to the second reference signal resource. The report corresponding to the second reference signal resource can be understood as a report sent to the network device when the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event. The second reference signal resource is different from the first reference signal resource.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first condition comprises at least one of the following: the number of times of sending the first report reaches a preset number; the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event at the current time; the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time; the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device, the first information being used to instruct the terminal to send the first report again.

[0143] Optionally, the first condition comprises that the number of times of sending the first report reaches a preset number. For example, if the number of times of sending the first report reaches the preset number, the terminal determines that the first condition is met. For example, the first reference signal resource meets the event in a period of time, and the terminal always sends the first report, which will cause additional signaling overhead and waste of resources. Therefore, the terminal can determine that the first condition is met when the number of times of sending the first report reaches the preset number, and no longer send the first report, thereby saving the signaling overhead and avoiding the waste of resources. The preset number can be greater than or equal to 1, which is not limited by the application.

[0144] Optionally, if the number of times of sending the first report does not reach the preset number, and the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event, the terminal can no longer send the first report.

[0145] Optionally, the first condition comprises that the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time. For example, if the measurement result of the first reference signal resource meets the event before the current time and the first report is sent, and the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time, the terminal can not be required to send the first report to the network device.

[0146] Optionally, the first condition comprises that the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event at the current time. For example, if the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event at the current time, the terminal can send the second report to the network device, and / or is not required to send the first report to the network device.

[0147] Optionally, the first condition comprises that the terminal receives first information sent by the network device, and the first information indicates that the terminal sends the first report again. For example, the network device can indicate the terminal to send the first report again through the first information, and the terminal can determine that the first condition is met when receiving the first information sent by the network device, can not be required to send the first report to the network device, and / or can also send the second report to the network device. For example, if the terminal receives the first information indicating that the terminal sends the first report again, the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time, the terminal can not send the first report to the network device. If the second reference signal resource meets the event, the terminal can send the second report to the network device.

[0148] It can be understood that the above optional embodiments can be used alone as the first condition, or in any combination as the first condition. For example, the first condition can comprise that the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event at the current time. That is, the terminal determines that the first condition is met, is not required to send the first report to the network device, and can send the second report to the network device only when the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event at the current time. Wherein, the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event at the current time, can also be understood as that the report at the current time is the second report, and the report at the past time is the first report. That is, at the past time, the measurement result of the first reference signal resource meets the event, and the corresponding report at the past time is the first report. At the current time, the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource meets the event, so the report at the current time is the second report. That is, because the second reference signal resource meets the event, the terminal needs to report the identifier and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource, so the second report needs to be reported. For another example, the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device, the first information indicates that the terminal sends the first report again, and the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time, the terminal determines that the first condition is met, and is not required to send the first report to the network device. The disclosure does not enumerate all combinations, but is not limited thereto.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first condition comprises that the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device, and at least one of the following: the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not satisfy the event before or at the time of receiving the first information; the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not satisfy the event before a time corresponding to the PUSCH resource indicated by the first information or at the time corresponding to the PUSCH resource; the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not satisfy the event before a time corresponding to a reference resource corresponding to the first information or at the time corresponding to the reference resource; the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not satisfy the event before a reference time corresponding to the first information or at the reference time; the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event before or at the time of receiving the first information; the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event before a time corresponding to the PUSCH resource indicated by the first information or at the time corresponding to the PUSCH resource; the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event before a time corresponding to a reference resource corresponding to the first information or at the time corresponding to the reference resource; the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event before a reference time corresponding to the first information or at the reference time.

[0150] Optionally, if the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not satisfy the event at the time of receiving the first information or before receiving the first information, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied at the time of receiving the first information.

[0151] Optionally, the first information can indicate a DG PUSCH resource, and if the terminal receives the first information and the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not satisfy the event at the time corresponding to the PUSCH resource indicated by the first information or before the time corresponding to the PUSCH resource, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied.

[0152] Optionally, the first information can correspond to a reference resource. If the terminal receives the first information and the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not satisfy the event at the time corresponding to the reference resource corresponding to the first information or before the time corresponding to the reference resource, it can be determined that the first condition is satisfied. The purpose of the reference resource can include determining that the first report or the second report is determined based on the measurement result of the reference signal resource before the reference resource, but is not limited.

[0153] Optionally, the first information can correspond to a reference time. The reference time is after the time of receiving the first information. If the terminal receives the first information, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event at or before the reference time corresponding to the first information, it can be determined that the first condition is satisfied. The use of the reference time can include determining that the first report or the second report is determined based on the measurement result of the reference signal resource before the reference time, but is not limited.

[0154] Optionally, if the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event at or before the time of receiving the first information or before the time of receiving the first information, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied at the time of receiving the first information.

[0155] Optionally, the first information can indicate a DG PUSCH resource. If the terminal receives the first information, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event at or before the time corresponding to the PUSCH resource indicated by the first information, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied.

[0156] Optionally, the first information can correspond to a reference resource. If the terminal receives the first information, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event at or before the time corresponding to the reference resource corresponding to the first information, it can be determined that the first condition is satisfied. The use of the reference resource can include determining that the first report or the second report is determined based on the measurement result of the reference signal resource before the reference resource, but is not limited.

[0157] Optionally, the first information can correspond to a reference time. The reference time is after the time of receiving the first information. If the terminal receives the first information, and the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies the event at or before the reference time corresponding to the first information, it can be determined that the first condition is satisfied. The use of the reference time can include determining that the first report or the second report is determined based on the measurement result of the reference signal resource before the reference time, but is not limited.

[0158] In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that the first condition is met, the terminal can ignore the first information; and / or, the terminal is not required to send the first report to the network device on a (configure-grant Physical Uplink Shared Channel, CG PUSCH) or a (Dynamic Grant Physical Uplink Shared Channel, DG PUSCH) scheduled by the first information; and / or, the terminal sends a second report on the CG PUSCH or the DG PUSCH scheduled by the first information.

[0159] Optionally, the terminal receives the first information sent by the network device, the first information indicates that the terminal sends the first report again, and the measurement result of the first reference signal resource does not meet the event at the current time, the terminal determines that the first condition is met, and is not required to send the first report to the network device on the DG PUSCH scheduled by the first information.

The event that the measurement result of the first reference signal resource satisfies and the event that the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies can be the same or different. That is, the identification of the event included in the first report and the identification of the event included in the second report can be the same or different.

[0181] In some embodiments, the event that the measurement result of the first reference signal resource satisfies, and / or the event that the measurement result of the second reference signal resource satisfies, can correspond to an entering condition or a leaving condition.

[0233] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of communication method interactions according to embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a communication method, and the above-mentioned method comprises:

[0234] Step S5101, the terminal 101 determines that the first condition is met, and is not required to send the first report to the network device 102.

[0235] Step S5102, the network device 102 does not require the terminal to send the first report.

[0236] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method can include the method of the above-mentioned embodiments related to the communication system 100, the terminal 101, and the network device 102, which will not be described here.

[0237] The present disclosure provides a communication method, which is as follows:

[0238] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first report and / or the second report, when the first condition is met, the terminal does not send the first report, and / or sends the second report, wherein the first report contains at least one of the first reference signal resource identifier and the corresponding L1-RSRP that meet the first event, and the second report contains the second reference signal resource identifier and the corresponding L1-RSRP that meet the first event, the first reference signal resource identifier and the second reference signal resource identifier are different.

[0239] In some embodiments, the terminal not sending the first report includes the terminal not retransmitting the first report. That is, the terminal has transmitted the first report before. The terminal not sending the first report means that the terminal does not retransmit the first report in the following time. The initial transmission of the first report can be in Type 1 CG PUSCH or dynamic scheduling PUSCH.

[0240] In some embodiments, the first condition comprises at least one of

[0241] a) the number of transmissions of the first report reaches the maximum number of transmissions

[0242] b) the report at the current time is the second report, i.e. the first report is the report corresponding to the past time. For example, before T time, the first reference signal resource identifier satisfies the first event, so the first report must contain the first reference signal resource identifier, and now it becomes the second reference signal resource identifier that satisfies the first event, and accordingly it becomes the second report, which needs to contain the second reference signal resource identifier. The terminal needs to report the latest reference signal resource identifier that satisfies the first event, so it needs to report the second report. For example, this condition can be used independently, or the number of first reports reaching or not reaching the maximum number of times can be used. For example, when this condition is met, the terminal sends the second report on the configure-grant PUSCH.

[0243] c) the terminal receives the first DCI signaling of the network device.

[0244] In some embodiments, the first DCI signaling has at least one of the following features:

[0245] 1. The CRC is scrambled by CS-RNTI;

[0246] 2. NDI = 1 (new data indicator);

[0247] 3. contains time and frequency domain indication information of PUSCH resource;

[0248] 4. The HARQ process ID / number is the same as the HARQ process ID / number corresponding to the first report.

[0249] Among them, for features 1 and 2, the first report is based on Type CG PUSCH for initial transmission. If the first report is based on dynamic scheduling PUSCH for initial transmission, the first DCI can be scrambled by C-RNTI, NDI flip, and the same HARQ process ID.

[0250] In some embodiments, for c) the terminal receives the first DCI signaling of the network device:

[0251] Optionally, the condition includes that when the terminal receives the first DCI, the report has changed from the first report to the second report, and the details are the same as above.

[0252] When this condition is met, it is further divided into the following two:

[0253] a) The terminal has already transmitted the second report on CG PUSCH before receiving the first DCI. Then the terminal will not transmit the first report on CG PUSCH or the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI, and / or the terminal transmits the second report on the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI or the next CG PUSCH, with the terminal indicating the HARQ process ID / number corresponding to the second report.

[0254] b) The terminal has not transmitted the second report on CG PUSCH before receiving the first DCI. Then the terminal will not transmit the first report on CG PUSCH or the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI, and / or the terminal transmits the second report on the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI or the next CG PUSCH, with the terminal indicating the HARQ process ID / number corresponding to the second report.

[0255] Optionally, the condition further includes that the time corresponding to the resources of the PUSCH indicated in the first DCI (or a reference resource or reference time is given, and the time is after the DCI) before which the report changes from the first report to the second report. Details are the same as above. When the condition is met, it is further divided into the following two cases:

[0256] a) The terminal has already transmitted the second report on CG PUSCH before receiving the first DCI. Then the terminal will not transmit the first report on CG PUSCH or the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI, and / or the terminal transmits the second report on the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI or the next CG PUSCH, with the terminal indicating the HARQ process ID / number corresponding to the second report.

[0257] b) The terminal has not transmitted the second report on CG PUSCH before receiving the first DCI. Then the terminal will not transmit the first report on CG PUSCH or the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI, and / or the terminal transmits the second report on the PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI or the next CG PUSCH, with the terminal indicating the HARQ process ID / number corresponding to the second report.

[0258] In some embodiments, the first report and the second report are beam reports.

[0259] In some embodiments, the beam can be referred to as beam, spatial Rx parameter, QCL (quasi-co location) Type D, spatial setting, spatial reception filter, spatial transmission filter, spatial domain filter, TCI state, joint TCI state, DL TCI state, UL TCI state, unified TCI state, common TCI state, spatialrelationinfo, etc.

[0269] 9. Reportconfig ID;

[0270] In some embodiments, the first event includes an entering condition or a leaving condition corresponding to the trigger event, such as the entering condition and the leaving condition for the following events respectively as follows:

[0271] a) Event 1: the quality of the current beam (also referred to as the serving beam) is lower than the threshold

[0272] 1. Entering condition is the quality of the current beam plus a value 1 is less than a threshold value 1.

[0273] 2. Leaving condition is the quality of the current beam minus a value 1 is greater than a threshold value 1.
