The network device can subsequently control the terminal to change among the multiple "candidate configurations" through control signaling, such as changing a working cell (or cell group) from "cell (or cell group)-1" to "cell (or cell group)-2". The control signaling can be referred to as "cell change control signaling". The control signaling can be transmitted through Layer (L) 1, such as through downlink control information (DCI), or through L2 signaling, such as a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

[0154] The above process can also be referred to as a Layer 1 and / or Layer 2 triggered mobility (L1 / L2-triggered Mobility, LTM) process.

[0155] The control process can be performed through configured L1 measurement reporting. The terminal performs L1 level measurement on the candidate cell based on the configuration information, and reports the measurement result to the network side. For example, the measurement result can be transmitted to the network device through a channel state information (CSI) report, thereby helping the network device to select a target cell for the terminal among the multiple candidate configurations.

[0156] In a communication system, a terminal can perform cell switching based on a "preconfigured condition" of a network device and a "preconfigured cell (or cell group)" corresponding to the condition. When the terminal meets the "preconfigured condition" (e.g., a specific measurement event), the terminal changes a serving cell (or cell group) to the "preconfigured cell (or cell group)". The "condition-based triggered mobility process" includes conditional handover (CHO), conditional primary secondary cell (or cell group) addition (CPA), and conditional primary secondary cell (or cell group) change (CPC).

[0157] Optionally, the terminal can also change a specific cell (or cell group) configuration according to the indication of the network device after meeting the "preconfigured condition". For example, the PCell configuration of the terminal is changed from candidate cell (or cell group) configuration-1 to candidate cell (or cell group) configuration-2.

[0158] Optionally, the L1 measurement reporting type is configured by including any of: periodic reporting; semi-persistent reporting over a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), e.g., reporting over semiPersistentOnPUCCH; semi-persistent reporting over a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), e.g., reporting over semiPersistentOnPUSCH; aperiodic reporting; event-triggered reporting.

[0159] Optionally, the network device can configure a specific measurement event for the terminal, and the terminal reports the measurement result to the network side when the specific measurement event is met. Some measurement events are listed as follows:

[0160] Event-1: Serving becomes better than threshold.

[0161] Event-2: Serving becomes worse than threshold.

[0162] Event-3: Neighbour becomes offset better than PCell / PSCell.

[0163] Event-4: Neighbour becomes better than threshold.

[0164] Event-5: PCell / PSCell becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbour becomes better than threshold2.

[0165] Event-6: Neighbour becomes offset better than SCell

[0166] Each measurement event is associated with at least one entering condition and / or leaving condition.

[0167] Optionally, the entering condition refers to the condition that the measurement event is activated (satisfied) and the L1 measurement reporting starts.

[0168] Optionally, the leaving condition refers to the condition that the measurement event is deactivated (not satisfied) and the L1 measurement reporting stops.

[0169] Optionally, if the leaving condition is configured with leaving reporting, the terminal can also start the L1 measurement reporting when the leaving condition is satisfied.

[0170] When evaluating the measurement event, the terminal can determine whether to perform measurement reporting according to the entering condition and the leaving condition associated with the measurement event. For example, for Event A3, when the duration that the cell measurement result of the terminal satisfies the "Entering Condition" of Event A3 reaches the threshold value configured by the network, the terminal triggers measurement reporting. When the duration that the cell measurement result of the terminal satisfies the "Leaving Condition" of Event A3 reaches the threshold value configured by the network, the terminal cancels measurement reporting (for example, removes the measurement result to be reported).

[0171] Generally, after the network device configures the measurement reporting event based on the L1 measurement result for the terminal, because the L1 measurement result fluctuates greatly over time, if the terminal immediately reports after satisfying the measurement reporting event, this will result in very frequent measurement reporting. Moreover, because the measurement result may not be stable for a certain period of time, this will also affect the subsequent mobility management of the terminal by the network device according to the measurement result, such as changing the serving cell of the terminal to an unsuitable cell, and thus more easily leading to connection interruption or failure of the terminal in the mobility process.

[0172] The method for transmitting measurement results provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: determining, by a terminal, whether the measurement results in an evaluation period meet the evaluation rules of a measurement reporting event; and determining, by the terminal, whether to send the measurement results to a network device based on the satisfaction of the measurement results. Thus, the connection failure of the terminal in the mobility process due to frequent reporting of measurement results is avoided, the accuracy and reliability of cell switching are improved, and transmission resources are saved.

[0173] FIG. 2 is an interaction diagram of the method for transmitting measurement results according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for transmitting measurement results, which is used for a terminal 101 and a network device 102, and the method includes:

[0174] In step S2101, the network device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0175] In some embodiments, the configuration information can be measurement reporting configuration information.

[0176] In the configuration information, the measurement reporting event (such as Even-3), the evaluation rules associated with the measurement reporting event, and the evaluation period are included.

[0177] In some embodiments, the configuration information can include one measurement reporting event, and the evaluation rules and the evaluation period associated with the measurement reporting event.

[0178] In some embodiments, the configuration information can include multiple measurement reporting events, and the evaluation rules and the evaluation period associated with each measurement reporting event. The evaluation rules and the evaluation period associated with different measurement reporting events can be the same or different, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0179] In some embodiments, the network device can send the configuration information to the terminal through the physical layer, that is, Layer 1 (L1).

[0180] In some embodiments, the network device can send the configuration information to the terminal through the medium access control layer, that is, Layer 2 (L2).

[0181] In some embodiments, the evaluation period can be the duration for which the measurement results need to meet the measurement reporting event. For example, if the evaluation period is a millisecond (ms), and the measurement results meet the entering condition of the measurement reporting event within ams, it can be considered that the measurement reporting is met.

[0182] In some embodiments, the evaluation period can also be the period used by the terminal to evaluate whether the measurement results meet the evaluation rules. The terminal determines whether to meet the evaluation rules associated with the entering condition (or the leaving condition) of the measurement reporting event by evaluating the satisfaction of all measurement results in the evaluation period.

[0183] In some embodiments, the evaluation period can be a millisecond (ms), a slot, a mini-slot, a frame, a subframe, etc., which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0184] In some embodiments, the terms of “evaluation period”, “evaluation time”, “time to trigger”, “trigger period”, “specified period”, etc. can be replaced with each other in some scenarios.

[0185] In some embodiments, the configuration information can include one or more measurement reporting events.

[0186] In some embodiments, the evaluation rule associated with the measurement reporting event can be the first evaluation rule and / or the second evaluation rule corresponding to the measurement reporting event.

[0187] In some embodiments, the first evaluation rule is associated with the entering condition corresponding to the measurement reporting event, and the second evaluation rule is associated with the leaving condition corresponding to the measurement reporting event.

[0188] In some embodiments, the entering condition refers to the condition that the measurement event is activated (satisfied) and starts measurement reporting.

[0189] In some embodiments, the leaving condition refers to the condition that the measurement event is deactivated (not satisfied) and stops measurement reporting.

[0190] In some embodiments, if the leaving condition is configured with leaving reporting, the terminal can also start measurement reporting when the leaving condition is satisfied.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first evaluation rule and the second evaluation rule can respectively include a first rule corresponding to the measurement result type and / or a second rule corresponding to the number of times of satisfying the measurement reporting event.

[0192] In some embodiments, the first rule can be that the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are measurement results corresponding to the same beam.

[0193] In some embodiments, the “same beam” is the same candidate beam (or the same candidate cell beam). For example, the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all measurement results corresponding to the candidate beam-1 (or the beam of the candidate cell-1).

[0194] In some embodiments, the “same beam” is the same serving beam (or the same serving cell beam). For example, the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all measurement results corresponding to the serving beam-1 (or all measurement results corresponding to the beam of the serving cell-1).

[0195] In some embodiments, the same beam is the same serving beam (or the same serving cell beam), and the same candidate beam (or the same candidate cell beam). For example, the serving beams corresponding to the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the serving beam-1 (or all the beams of the serving cell-1), and the candidate beams corresponding to the multiple measurement results are all the same candidate beam, such as all corresponding to the candidate beam-1 (or all corresponding to the beams of the candidate cell-1).

[0196] For example, if the multiple measurement results satisfying the “entry condition” (or the “exit condition”) of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results corresponding to the beam #1, it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0197] In some embodiments, the first rule can be that the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are the measurement results corresponding to the same reference signal.

[0198] For example, if the multiple measurement results satisfying the “entry condition” (or the “exit condition”) of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results corresponding to the same synchronization signal block (SSB), it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0199] Alternatively, if the multiple measurement results satisfying the “entry condition” (or the “exit condition”) of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results corresponding to the same channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first rule can be that the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are the measurement results corresponding to the same type of reference signal.

[0201] For example, if the multiple measurement results satisfying the “entry condition” (or the “exit condition”) of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results corresponding to the SSB (or all the measurement results corresponding to the CSI-RS), it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0202] In some embodiments, the first rule can be that the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are the measurement results corresponding to the beams of the same cell.

[0203] In some embodiments, the same cell can be the same serving cell, and / or the same candidate cell.

[0204] In some embodiments, the candidate cell is a cell whose channel signal is enhanced to a certain threshold value in the neighboring cell adjacent to the serving cell where the terminal is located before the terminal performs cell switching. The terms of "candidate cell", "neighboring cell", "adjacent cell", "adjacent cell" and the like can be replaced with each other in some scenarios.

[0205] For example, if the multiple measurement results satisfying the "entry condition" (or the "exit condition") of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results of the beams corresponding to the serving cell #1 (and / or the candidate cell #2), it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0206] In some embodiments, the first rule can be that the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are the measurement results of the beams of the same beam set corresponding to the same cell.

[0207] For example, if the multiple measurement results satisfying the "entry condition" (or the "exit condition") of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results of the beams in the beam set #3 (assuming that the beam #31, the beam #32 and the beam #33 are configured in the beam set #3) corresponding to the serving cell #1 (or the candidate cell #2), it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0208] In some embodiments, the network device can configure multiple beam sets through a radio resource control (RRC) message, and then activate one or more beam sets through a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) or a downlink control information (DCI). Correspondingly, the first rule can be that the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are the measurement results of the beams of the activated beam set corresponding to the same cell.

[0209] For example, if the beam set #3 and the beam set #4 corresponding to the serving cell #1 in the evaluation period, and the beam set #3 is in the activated state, if the multiple measurement results satisfying the "entry condition" (or the "exit condition") of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results of the beams of the beam set #3 corresponding to the serving cell #1, it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0210] In some embodiments, the first rule can be that the multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are the measurement results corresponding to the same beam set.

[0211] For example, if the measurement results satisfying the "entry condition" (or the "exit condition") of the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are all the measurement results of the beams in the beam set #3 (assuming that the beam set #3 is configured with the beam #31, the beam #32, and the beam #33), it can be determined that the first rule is satisfied.

[0212] In some embodiments, the second rule can be that the number of times that the measurement result satisfies the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period is greater than or equal to a first number threshold. The first number threshold can be configured by the network device or agreed by the protocol.

[0213] For example, the first number threshold is 5, and the number of times that the measurement result satisfies the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period is greater than 5, and it can be considered that the second rule is satisfied.

[0214] In some embodiments, the second rule can be that the number of times that the measurement result continuously satisfies the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period is greater than or equal to a second number threshold. The first number threshold can be configured by the network device or agreed by the protocol.

[0215] For example, the second number threshold is 4, and there are 10 measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period, and if 5 measurement results are continuous, it can be considered that the second rule is satisfied, and only if 4 measurement results are continuous, it can be considered that the second rule is not satisfied.

[0216] In some embodiments, the second number threshold can be the same as the first number threshold, or can be different.

[0217] For example, the second number threshold is 5, and the measurement result continuously satisfies the measurement reporting event for 5 times or more in the evaluation period, and it can be considered that the second rule is satisfied.

[0218] In some embodiments, the second rule can be that each measurement result in the evaluation period satisfies the measurement reporting event.

[0219] In some embodiments, the first evaluation rule corresponding to the entry condition and the second evaluation rule corresponding to the exit condition are the same.

[0220] In some embodiments, the second evaluation rule corresponding to the entry condition and the second evaluation rule corresponding to the exit condition are the same.

[0221] In some embodiments, the first evaluation rule can only include the first rule corresponding to the type of the measurement result, can only include the second rule corresponding to the number of times that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, or can include both the first rule and the second rule, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0222] In some embodiments, the second evaluation rule can only include the first rule corresponding to the type of measurement result, only include the second rule corresponding to the number of times of meeting the measurement reporting event, or include both the first rule and the second rule, which is not limited in the disclosure.

[0223] In step S2102, the terminal determines the measurement time of the first measurement result meeting the evaluation rule.

[0224] In step S2103, the terminal determines the measurement time of the first measurement result as the starting time of the evaluation period.

[0225] In some embodiments, after receiving the configuration information, the terminal can measure the serving cell and the neighbor cell, and determine the measurement time of the first measurement result meeting the evaluation rule, and determine the measurement time as the starting time of the evaluation period.

[0226] In step S2104, the terminal determines whether the measurement result in the evaluation period meets the evaluation rule.

[0227] In step S2105, the measurement result meets the first evaluation rule, and the terminal sends the measurement result to the network device.

[0228] For example, the measurement reporting event is Event-3, and the first evaluation rule of the associated "entry condition" includes: the same "beam measurement result of the neighbor cell" and the same "beam measurement result of the SpCell" are compared, the number of times greater than the network configured threshold value is greater than the first number threshold value. The threshold value can be determined according to the network configured "offset" and "hysteresis", such as the threshold value is off+Hys, and the first number threshold value is agreed in the protocol, such as 5. That is, the entry condition is: the number of times that Mn+On-Hys>Mp+Op+Off in the evaluation period is greater than 5, where Mn is the "beam measurement result of the neighbor cell", On is the "beam measurement result offset of the neighbor cell", Mp is the "beam measurement result of the SpCell", and Op is the "beam measurement result offset of the SpCell".

[0229] Taking the above measurement reporting event Event-3 as an example, if the terminal determines through evaluation in the evaluation period that the number of times that the measurement result of the neighbor cell #1 is greater than the threshold value compared with the SpCell #2 is 6, it can be determined that the measurement result meets the first evaluation rule of the associated "entry condition" of Event-3, and the measurement result can be sent to the network device.

[0230] For example, the measurement reporting event is Event-3, and the first evaluation rule of the associated "entry condition" includes: within the evaluation period, 5 measurement results of the same beam of the same cell satisfy Event-3. Then, when the value of the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the beam-1 of the candidate cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of the beam-1 of the SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value, the terminal considers that the "entry condition" of Event-3 is satisfied. If the terminal determines through evaluation that the number of times that the "entry condition" of Event-3 is satisfied within the evaluation period is 5, and the 5 times are all "the RSRP value of the beam-1 of the candidate cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of the beam-1 of the SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value T", the terminal triggers the measurement reporting. When the number of times that the "entry condition" of Event-3 is satisfied is 5, 4 times are "the RSRP value of the beam-1 of the candidate cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of the beam-1 of the SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value T", and 1 time is "the RSRP value of the beam-2 of the candidate cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of the beam-1 of the SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value T", the terminal does not trigger the measurement reporting.

[0231] For example, the measurement reporting event is Event-3, and the first evaluation rule of the associated "entry condition" includes: within the evaluation period, 5 measurement results of the same cell satisfy Event-3. Then, within the evaluation period, if the measurement results corresponding to the same cell (such as the candidate cell-1 and / or the serving cell-2) all satisfy the "entry condition" associated with Event-3, the terminal triggers the measurement reporting.

[0232] For example, the measurement reporting event is Event-3, and the first evaluation rule of the associated "entry condition" includes: within the evaluation period, 5 measurement results that satisfy the measurement reporting event correspond to the same set of beams of the same cell. Then, within the evaluation period, if the 5 measurement results that satisfy the "entry condition" of Event-3 all correspond to the beams in the beam set-1 of the candidate cell-1 (and / or all correspond to the beam set-2 of the serving cell-2), the terminal can trigger the measurement reporting.

[0233] For example, the measurement reporting event is Event-3, and the first evaluation rule of the associated "entry condition" includes: within the evaluation period, 5 measurement results that satisfy the measurement reporting event correspond to the active beam set of the same cell. Then, within the evaluation period, if the 5 measurement results that satisfy the "entry condition" of Event-3 all correspond to the beams in the active beam set-1 of the candidate cell-1 (and / or all correspond to the active beam set-2 of the serving cell-2), the terminal can trigger the measurement reporting.

[0234] In step S2106, the measurement result satisfies the second evaluation rule, and the terminal does not send the measurement result to the network device.

[0235] For example, the measurement reporting event is Event-3, and the second evaluation rule of the associated “leaving condition” includes: the same “beam measurement result of the neighboring cell” is compared with the same “beam measurement result of the SpCell”, and the number of times of being less than the network configured threshold value is greater than the first number threshold value. The threshold value can be determined according to the network configured “offset (off)” and “hysteresis (Hys)”, for example, the threshold value is off+Hys, and the first number threshold value is agreed in the protocol, for example, 5. That is, the entering condition is: the number of times of Mn+On+Hys<Mp+Op+Off in the evaluation period is greater than 5, where Mn is the “beam measurement result of the neighboring cell”, On is the “beam measurement result offset of the neighboring cell”, Mp is the “beam measurement result of the SpCell cell”, and Op is the “beam measurement result offset of the SpCell cell”.

[0236] If the terminal determines through evaluation that the number of times of the measurement result of the neighboring cell #1 being less than the threshold value compared with the SpCell cell #2 is 7 in the evaluation period, it can be determined that the measurement result satisfies the second evaluation rule of the “leaving condition” associated with Event-3, and thus it can be determined that the measurement result is not sent to the network device.

[0237] In some embodiments, the measurement result satisfies the second evaluation rule, and the measurement reporting event is configured as a leaving reporting event. The terminal can determine to send the measurement result.

[0238] For example, the measurement reporting event is Event-3, and the second evaluation rule of the associated “leaving condition” includes: the same “beam measurement result of the neighboring cell” is compared with the same “beam measurement result of the SpCell”, and the number of times of being less than the network configured threshold value is greater than the first number threshold value. And Event-3 is configured as a leaving reporting event. At this time, if the terminal determines through evaluation that the number of times of the measurement result of the neighboring cell #1 being less than the threshold value compared with the SpCell cell #2 is 7 in the evaluation period, it can be determined that the measurement result satisfies the second evaluation rule of the “leaving condition” associated with Event-3, and thus the terminal can determine to send the measurement result.

[0239] In some embodiments, the measurement result can be a measurement result of a beam pair that is "available" in the evaluation period. For example, the network device indicates 5 beams to the terminal for measurement reporting event evaluation, and in the evaluation period, the terminal only has 3 beams with available measurement results (e.g., the terminal only detects 3 beams out of the 5 beams), then the terminal can only use the measurement results of the 3 beams for measurement reporting event evaluation.

[0240] In some embodiments, the measurement result can also be a measurement result of a specified beam.

[0241] In some embodiments, the specified beam can be a beam associated with a specified SSB identifier and / or a specified CSI-RS identifier.

[0242] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine the identifier of the specified beam according to one or more of the following specified by the protocol or indicated by the network device: synchronization signal block (SSB) identifier, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) identifier.

[0243] The measurement result transmission method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps S2101-S2106. For example, step S2101 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, steps S2101+S2102+S2103 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, steps S2101+S2104+S2105 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and the like, but are not limited thereto.

[0244] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, part or all of the steps, and their optional implementation manners, can be combined with part or all of the steps in other embodiments, or combined with optional implementation manners of other embodiments.

[0245] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step and its optional implementation manner can also be implemented independently.

[0246] In the present embodiment, the network device configures the terminal with a measurement reporting event and an evaluation period, etc., the terminal evaluates the measurement results in the evaluation period, and determines whether to send the measurement results to the network device according to the evaluation results. Thus, the rationality of measurement result reporting is improved, and the connection interruption or failure of the terminal due to switching to an unsuitable cell caused by unreasonable measurement result reporting is avoided, and the reliability and stability of terminal communication are improved.

[0260] FIG. 3B is a flow diagram of a measurement result transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3B, the present disclosure relates to a measurement result transmission method for a terminal 101, which includes:

[0261] Step S3201, receiving configuration information sent by a network device.

[0262] The configuration information includes a measurement reporting event (e.g., Event-3), an evaluation rule associated with the measurement reporting event, and an evaluation period.

[0263] In some embodiments, the terminal receives configuration information sent by the network device.

[0264] In step S3202, it is determined whether the measurement result in the evaluation period meets the evaluation rule.

[0265] In step S3203, it is determined whether to send the measurement result to the network device according to whether the measurement result meets the evaluation rule.

[0266] In some embodiments, the determination of whether to send the measurement result to the network device according to whether the measurement result meets the evaluation rule includes any of the following:

[0267] The measurement result meets a first evaluation rule, and it is determined to send the measurement result, wherein the first evaluation rule is associated with an entering condition corresponding to the measurement reporting event;

[0272] A second rule corresponding to a number of times of meeting the measurement reporting event.

[0280] The multiple measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event in the evaluation period are measurement results of a same beam set.

[0281] In some embodiments, the same cell is one or more of: a same serving cell, a same candidate cell.

[0334] For detailed descriptions of step S4201 and its implementable manners, reference can be made to the above embodiment descriptions.

[0335] FIG. 5A is an interaction schematic diagram of a measurement result transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5A, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement result transmission method for a communication system, including a terminal 101 and a network device 102, and the method includes:

[0336] In step S5101, the network device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0337] The configuration information includes a measurement reporting event, an evaluation rule associated with the measurement reporting event, and an evaluation period, and the configuration information is used to assist the terminal in determining whether to send a measurement result to the network device.

[0338] In step S5102, the terminal determines whether a measurement result in the evaluation period satisfies the evaluation rule.

[0339] Step S5103: The terminal sends the measurement result to the network device when the measurement result meets the first evaluation rule.

[0340] The detailed description of steps S5101-S5103 can refer to the above embodiment description.

[0341] The following is an exemplary description of the above method.

[0342] The terminal evaluates the "entry condition" and / or "exit condition" corresponding to the "measurement event configuration" within the "evaluation time" configured by the network side.

[0343] When within the "evaluation time", according to the protocol agreement or network configuration, if the terminal determines that the evaluation rule of the "entry condition" is met, the terminal triggers measurement reporting.

[0344] When within the "evaluation time", according to the protocol agreement or network configuration, if the terminal determines that the evaluation rule of the "exit condition" is met, the terminal's behavior includes any one of the following:

[0345] Cancel measurement reporting;

[0346] If the network side configures the report of the "exit condition" (such as reportOnLeave), the terminal triggers measurement reporting.

[0347] The evaluation rule of the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") includes one or more of the following: the first rule of the "measurement result type" for "entry condition" (or "exit condition") judgment, the second rule of the number of times meeting the "entry condition" (or "exit condition").

[0348] The first rule includes any one of the following:

[0349] Rule 1: The multiple "measurement results" meeting the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be measurement results corresponding to the same beam (or, the same reference signal, or the same reference signal type (such as SSB or CSI-RS)).

[0350] Rule 2: The multiple "measurement results" meeting the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be measurement results of any beam corresponding to the same cell.

[0351] Rule 3: The multiple "measurement results" meeting the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be measurement results of beams in the same beam set corresponding to the same cell.

[0352] Rule 4: The multiple "measurement results" satisfying the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results corresponding to the same set of activated beams of the same cell.

[0353] Rule 5: The multiple "measurement results" satisfying the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results corresponding to the same set of beams.

[0354] wherein the second rule comprises any one of the following:

[0355] Rule 1: The number of times satisfying the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") is greater than or equal to a first threshold of number of times.

[0356] Rule 2: The number of times satisfying the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") consecutively is greater than or equal to a second threshold of number of times.

[0357] Rule 3: Each measurement result in the range of "evaluation time" satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition").

[0358] FIG. 5B is an interaction diagram of a method of transmitting measurement results, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5B, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method of transmitting measurement results, comprising:

[0359] Step S5201: The network device provides the terminal side with "L1 measurement reporting configuration".

[0360] wherein the "L1 measurement reporting configuration" comprises a "measurement event configuration" (e.g., L1 Event-3). And the "measurement event configuration" is configured with a corresponding "evaluation time". For example, the time to trigger (TTT) is configured in the L1 measurement reporting configuration, for example, TTT = 40 ms is indicated in the L1 measurement reporting configuration.

[0361] Step S5202: The terminal evaluates the "entry condition" and / or "exit condition" of the measurement event within the range of the "evaluation time".

[0362] For example, the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 can be that the threshold value is determined according to the "offset" (off) and "hysteresis" (hys) configured by the network, and the "beam measurement result of the neighbor cell" measured by the terminal is compared with the "beam measurement result of the SpCell", and is greater than the threshold value. Wherein the threshold value can be off+hys, or off-hys.

[0363] wherein the first rule associated with the "measurement result type" for the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") judgment can comprise any one of the following:

[0364] Rule 1: The multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results corresponding to the same beam (or, the same reference signal, or the same reference signal type (e.g., SSB or CSI-RS)). For example, for L1 Event-3, when the RSRP value of beam-1 of neighbor cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of beam-1 of SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value, the terminal considers that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied. When the network configures or the protocol agrees that the number of times that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied is 5 within the TTT time, the terminal triggers measurement reporting. When the number of times that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied is 5, and the 5 times are all "the RSRP value of beam-1 of neighbor cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of beam-1 of SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value", the terminal triggers measurement reporting. When the number of times that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied is 5, and 4 times are "the RSRP value of beam-1 of neighbor cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of beam-1 of SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value T", and 1 time is "the RSRP value of beam-2 of neighbor cell-1 is compared with the RSRP value of beam-1 of SpCell, and is greater than the threshold value T", the terminal does not trigger measurement reporting.

[0365] Optionally, the type of the "same beam" can be limited, and the limitation condition is any one of the following:

[0366] Rule 1.1: The "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results corresponding to the same candidate beam (or neighbor cell beam). For example, the network side configures that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied 5 times within the TTT time to perform measurement reporting. Then, the candidate beams (or neighbor cell beams) corresponding to the 5 times that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied need to be the same beam, for example, both are beam-1 of neighbor cell-1.

[0367] Rule 1.2: The "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results corresponding to the same serving beam (or serving cell beam). For example, the network side configures that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-1 is satisfied 5 times within the TTT time to perform measurement reporting. Then, the serving beams (or serving cell beams) corresponding to the 5 times that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-1 is satisfied need to be the same beam, for example, both are beam-1 of SpCell.

[0368] Rule 1.3: The "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the same candidate beam (or neighbor cell beam) and need to be the same serving beam (or serving cell beam). For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" are satisfied within the TTT time to perform measurement reporting. Then, the candidate beam (or neighbor cell beam) corresponding to the measurement results that satisfy the 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" needs to be the same beam (e.g., both are the beam-1 of the neighbor cell-1), and the serving beam (or serving cell beam) corresponding to the measurement results needs to be the same beam (e.g., both are the beam-1 of the SpCell).

[0369] Rule 2: The multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results of any beam corresponding to the same cell. For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" are satisfied within the TTT time to perform measurement reporting. Then, the candidate beam (or neighbor cell beam) corresponding to the measurement results that satisfy the 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" needs to be the beam from the same cell, for example, both are the beam of the neighbor cell-1, and if the neighbor cell configures the beam-1, beam-2 and beam-3, then the multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be any one or more of the beam-1, beam-1 and beam-3 of the neighbor cell-1.

[0370] Rule 3: The multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results of the beams of the same beam set corresponding to the same cell.

[0371] Optionally, the type of the "same beam set corresponding to the same cell" can be any one of the following:

[0372] Rule 3.1: The "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results of the beams of the same beam set corresponding to the same candidate cell (or neighbor cell). For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" are satisfied within the TTT time to perform measurement reporting. Then, the candidate beam (or neighbor cell beam) corresponding to the measurement results that satisfy the 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" needs to be the same beam set from the same candidate cell. For example, both are the beams in the beam set-1 of the neighbor cell-1, and if the beam set-1 of the neighbor cell-1 configures the beam-1 / 2 / 3, then the "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be one or more of the beam-1, beam-2 and beam-3 in the beam set-1 of the neighbor cell-1.

[0373] Rule 3.2: The "measurement result" that satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same beam set of the same serving cell (or neighbor cell). For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-1 "entry condition" is satisfied within the TTT time to perform measurement reporting. Then, the measurement result corresponding to the 5 times of L1 Event-1 "entry condition" needs to be the beam from the same beam set of the same serving cell. For example, the beams are all from the beam set-1 of the SpCell (e.g., the beam set-1 of the SpCell is configured with the beams-1 / 2 / 3), and the measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") needs to be one or more of the beams-1, the beam-2 and the beam-3 of the beam set-1 of the SpCell.

[0374] Rule 3.3: The "measurement result" that satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same beam set of the same candidate cell (or neighbor cell), and needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same beam set of the same serving cell (or neighbor cell). For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" is satisfied within the TTT time to perform measurement reporting. Then, the measurement result corresponding to the 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" needs to be the beam from the same beam set of the same candidate cell. For example, the beams are all from the beam set-1 of the neighbor cell-1 (e.g., the beam set-1 of the neighbor cell-1 is configured with the beams-1 / 2 / 3), and the measurement result corresponding to the serving beam (or the serving cell beam) that satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") needs to be the beam from the same beam set of the same serving cell (e.g., the beams are all from the beam set-2 of the SpCell (e.g., the beam set-2 is configured with the beams-1 / 2 / 3)).

[0375] Rule 4: The multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results of the beams from the activated beam set of the same cell.

[0376] For example, the network side configures multiple beam sets corresponding to the serving cell-1 through the RRC message, and then activates one or more beam sets through the MAC CE or the DCI. Then, the multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results of the beams from the activated beam set of the serving cell-1.

[0377] Optionally, the type of the "activated beam set of the same cell" can be any one of the following:

[0378] Rule 4.1: The "measurement result" that satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same candidate beam set (or neighbor cell beam set). For example, the network side configures that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied for 5 times within the TTT time, and then the UE reports the measurement result. The measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same candidate beam set. For example, the measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is the measurement result of the beam from the active beam set of neighbor cell-1 (e.g., the measurement result of the beam-1 / 2 / 3 from the active beam set of neighbor cell-1).

[0379] Rule 4.2: The "measurement result" that satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same serving beam set (or serving cell beam set). For example, the network side configures that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-1 is satisfied for 5 times within the TTT time, and then the UE reports the measurement result. The measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" of L1 Event-1 needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same serving beam set. For example, the measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" of L1 Event-1 is the measurement result of the beam from the active beam set of SpCell (e.g., the measurement result of the beam-1 / 2 / 3 from the active beam set of SpCell).

[0380] Rule 4.3: The "measurement result" that satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same candidate beam set (or neighbor cell beam set), and needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same serving beam set (or serving cell beam set). For example, the network side configures that the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is satisfied for 5 times within the TTT time, and then the UE reports the measurement result. The measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same candidate beam set. For example, the measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 is the measurement result of the beam from the active beam set of neighbor cell-1 (e.g., the measurement result of the beam-1 / 2 / 3 from the active beam set of neighbor cell-1), and the measurement result that satisfies the "entry condition" of L1 Event-3 needs to be the measurement result of the beam from the same serving beam set (e.g., the measurement result of the beam-1 / 2 / 3 from the active beam set of SpCell).

[0381] Rule 5: The multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") need to be the measurement results corresponding to the same beam set. For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" are satisfied within the TTT time, and then the measurement is reported. Then, the beams corresponding to the measurement results that satisfy the 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" need to be from the same beam set. For example, the beams corresponding to the multiple "measurement results" that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") are all the beams in the beam set configured by the network side for event-triggered measurement reporting.

[0382] Optionally, the second rule for the number of times that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") includes any one of the following:

[0383] Rule 1: The number of times that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") is greater than or equal to X times. Wherein X is an integer value greater than or equal to 1 configured by the network or agreed by the protocol. For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" are satisfied within the TTT time, and then the measurement is reported. Then, the terminal has 10 measurement results within the TTT time, of which 5 times satisfy the L1 Event-3 "entry condition", and then the terminal reports the measurement.

[0384] Rule 2: The number of times that satisfy the "entry condition" (or "exit condition") consecutively is greater than or equal to X times. Wherein X is an integer value greater than or equal to 1 configured by the network or agreed by the protocol. For example, the network side configures that 5 times of L1 Event-3 "entry condition" are satisfied consecutively within the TTT time, and then the measurement is reported. Then, the terminal has 10 measurement results within the TTT time, of which 5 times satisfy the L1 Event-3 "entry condition" consecutively, and then the terminal reports the measurement.

[0385] Rule 3: Each measurement result within the "evaluation time" range satisfies the "entry condition" (or "exit condition"). For example, the network side configures that each measurement result satisfies the L1 Event-3 "entry condition" within the TTT time, and then the measurement is reported. Then, the terminal has 10 measurement results within the TTT time, of which all satisfy the L1 Event-3 "entry condition", and then the terminal reports the measurement.

[0386] Optionally, the "entry condition" evaluation rule and the "exit condition" evaluation rule can be the same.

[0387] Optionally, the beams used for evaluating the "entry condition" and / or the "exit condition" are beams for which measurement results are available. For example, the network side indicates 5 beams to the terminal for measurement reporting event evaluation (e.g., for evaluation of the "entry condition" or the "exit condition"), and the terminal has measurement results available for only 3 beams (e.g., the terminal detects only 3 of the 5 beams) within the TTT time. The terminal uses only the measurement results of the 3 beams for measurement reporting event evaluation.

[0388] Optionally, it can be agreed that the measurement results corresponding to the "entry condition" and / or the "exit condition" are L1 measurement results. The "L1 measurement result" can be a measurement result of a specific beam. The "specific beam" can be identified by at least one of the following identifiers:

[0389] SSB identifier;

[0390] CSI-RS identifier.

[0391] Embodiments of the present disclosure also propose an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is proposed, which includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another apparatus is proposed, which includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by the network device (e.g., RAN, etc.) in any of the above methods.

[0392] It should be understood that the division of each unit or module in the above apparatus is only a logical function division, and all or part of them can be integrated into a physical entity or physically separated in actual implementation. In addition, the units or modules in the apparatus can be implemented in the form of processor calling software: for example, the apparatus includes a processor, the processor is connected with a memory, the memory stores instructions, and the processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to realize the functions of any of the above methods or the units or modules of the above apparatus, wherein the processor is a general processor such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory is a memory in the apparatus or a memory outside the apparatus.

For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In the reconfigurable hardware circuit, the processor loads a configuration document to implement the configuration of the hardware circuit. It can be understood that the processor loads instructions to implement the functions of the above part or all units or modules. In addition, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), and the like.
