The method comprises: a first device performing a first measurement on a sensing signal to obtain a first measurement report. The first measurement is a measurement on the quality of the sensing signal. Then, the first device sends the first measurement report to a second device, and first information in the first measurement report is used to determine whether to send a second measurement report. The second measurement can be understood as a measurement with a more complex measurement process or a measurement that needs to be calculated to obtain a result.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a sensing measurement method and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing overlap in the operating frequency bands for communication and sensing, current mobile communication systems are expected to possess both communication and sensing capabilities simultaneously.

[0003] In a sensing scenario, for example, a second device can emit a sensing signal, which the first device then measures and reports the measurement results to the second device to achieve sensing of the object. However, if the rapidly changing quality of the sensing signal leads to unreliable measurement results, reporting the measurement results would result in a waste of network resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a sensing measurement method and electronic device, applied in the field of communication technology, to stop reporting certain measurement results when the rapidly changing quality of the sensing signal leads to unreliable measurement results, thereby avoiding waste of network resources.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose a sensing and measurement method applied to a first device. The method includes:

[0006] A first measurement is performed on the sensed signal, and a first measurement report is obtained. This first measurement is a measurement of the quality of the sensed signal, and a first measurement report indicating the quality of the sensed signal is obtained after the measurement is completed.

[0007] A first measurement report is sent to a second device, and the first information in the first measurement report is used to determine whether to send a second measurement report. The second measurement in this application can be understood as a measurement process that is relatively complex or requires computation to obtain a result. After the measurement is completed, a second measurement report containing intermediate sensing results and / or the final sensing result can be obtained.

[0008] In this way, by dividing the measurement report of the sensing signal into two parts, it can be determined whether a second measurement report needs to be sent based on the first measurement report. This allows the sending of the second measurement report to be canceled in certain unnecessary cases, thereby effectively reducing the energy consumption caused by sensing and saving network resources.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0010] Perform a second measurement on the sensed signal to obtain a second measurement report;

[0011] If it is determined based on the first information that a second measurement report will be sent, the second measurement report will be sent to the second device.

[0012] In this way, the second measurement report is only sent to the second device when it is determined that a second measurement report needs to be sent based on the first information, thereby reducing the energy consumption caused by sensing and saving network resources.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the first information includes at least one of the following: first indication information, and a first measurement result of the sensing signal;

[0014] The first indication information is used to indicate whether to send a second measurement report, and the first measurement result is used to indicate the quality of the sensing signal.

[0015] In this way, by including the first indication information in the first measurement report, the second device can be simply and efficiently informed whether the first device will send a second measurement report in the future.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the first measurement result includes at least one of the following: signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), reference signal received power (RSRP), and reference signal received quality (RSRQ). This allows the measurement results obtained from measurements of the quality of the sensed signal to be reported to the first device.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first measurement report further includes second indication information, which indicates the first resource used to perform the first measurement; and / or, the first measurement report also includes the purpose of using the first resource, which is associated with the first measurement result. This allows information about the resources used in the first measurement to be reported to the second device.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the second measurement report includes a second measurement result and / or a sensing result of the sensed signal;

[0019] The second measurement result includes at least one of the following: reference signal arrival time RSTD, relative arrival time RTOA, reference signal time difference RSTD, reference signal transmission and reception time difference, carrier phase RSCP, carrier phase difference RSCPD, azimuth angle of arrival, azimuth angle of departure, elevation angle of arrival, and elevation angle of departure.

[0020] The perception results include at least one of the following: the location of the perceived target, the trajectory of the perceived target, and the presence or absence of the perceived target.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0022] The system receives first configuration information sent by the second device. The first configuration information is used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate the second measurement report. The first configuration information is determined based on the first information.

[0023] In one possible implementation, sending a second measurement report to the second device includes:

[0024] If the first configuration information indicates that the second measurement report is to be activated, the second measurement report is sent to the second device;

[0025] The method also includes:

[0026] If the first configuration information indicates that the second measurement report should be deactivated, then the sending of the second measurement report to the second device should be stopped.

[0027] In this way, the second device can instruct the first device through the first configuration information whether the first device needs to report a second measurement report. The second device has more comprehensive information, thus improving the reliability of the first device's decision on whether to report a second measurement report.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the first configuration information is used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate the second measurement report after the first moment, where the first moment is the moment when the first configuration information is received.

[0029] The first configuration information is used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate the subsequent second measurement reports starting from the nth first measurement report after the first moment, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0031] Receive second configuration information sent by the second device, the second configuration information being used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate the first measurement report.

[0032] In one possible implementation, sending a first measurement report to the second device includes:

[0033] If the second configuration information indicates that the first measurement report is to be activated, the first measurement report is sent to the second device;

[0034] The method also includes:

[0035] If the second configuration information indicates that the first measurement report should be deactivated, then the sending of the first measurement report should be stopped.

[0036] In this way, the second device can instruct the first device via the second configuration information whether the first device needs to report the first measurement report. The second device has more comprehensive information, thus improving the reliability of the first device's decision on whether to report the first measurement report.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0038] The system receives third configuration information from a second device. This third configuration information indicates at least one of the following: a first cycle for sending a first measurement report, a second cycle for sending a second measurement report, and a first offset of the second measurement report relative to the first measurement report. This allows the system to configure the first device with periodic information for separately reporting measurement results.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0040] The system receives fourth configuration information from the second device, which indicates whether to send the first measurement report and the second measurement report separately. This allows the system to configure the first device to report measurement results separately.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0042] If the first condition is met, the execution of the second measurement is stopped, and a first indication message is sent to indicate that the second measurement report should not be sent. Thus, by setting a first condition to determine whether to stop the execution of the second measurement, a simple and effective way can be made to determine whether to report the second measurement report.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the first condition includes: detecting a first event, wherein the first event is that a first target measurement result in the first measurement results is less than or equal to a first preset threshold. Setting the first condition in this way allows for simple and efficient decision-making regarding the second measurement report and reduces the latency of reporting the second measurement report.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the first condition further includes: the number of times the first event is detected is greater than or equal to a first preset number;

[0045] The number of times the first event was detected is: the number of times the first event was detected within the first duration, and / or the number of times the first event was detected consecutively.

[0046] Setting the first condition in this way can increase the restrictions included in the first condition, thereby retaining more reliable data.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the first condition includes: the number of times the second event is detected is greater than or equal to a second preset number;

[0048] The number of times the second event was detected is defined as: the number of times the second event was detected within the second duration, and / or the number of times the second event was detected consecutively. This first condition allows for simple and efficient decision-making regarding the second measurement report, reducing the latency of reporting it. Furthermore, because the second event is determined based on reliability, more reliable data can be retained.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the first condition includes:

[0050] The first target measurement result in the first measurement result is greater than the first preset threshold and less than the second preset threshold, and the number of times the second event is detected is greater than or equal to the third preset number;

[0051] The first preset threshold is less than the second preset threshold.

[0052] In this way, by setting two thresholds, when the measurement result of the first target is poor (less than or equal to the first preset threshold), the decision to stop reporting the measurement report is based solely on the quality of the sensed signal, thereby improving the speed of determining whether to report the measurement result and reducing latency. When the measurement result of the first target is acceptable (greater than the first preset threshold and less than the second preset threshold), the decision to stop reporting the measurement report is based on the reliability of the measurement result, thus preserving as many reliable measurement results as possible.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the second event includes at least one of the following: the second target measurement result in the second measurement report does not fall within the first preset range; the uncertainty of the second target measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold; in the second measurement reports obtained from P consecutive second measurements, the number of times the change value of the second target measurement result in two adjacent second measurement reports exceeds the second preset threshold is greater than or equal to M times, where P and M are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0054] In one possible implementation, if the first condition is met, the first measurement report further includes first notification information, which is used to indicate that the first condition is met; wherein, the first information includes the first notification information.

[0055] In this implementation, the second device can decide whether the first device needs to report the first measurement report and / or the second measurement report based on the content contained in the first measurement report. The advantage of this approach is its simplicity and minimal modification to the protocol. Furthermore, because the second device can obtain more comprehensive information than the first device—for example, it can also obtain information about other UEs or other base stations—having the second device perform the decision-making improves the comprehensiveness of the processing of the second measurement report.

[0056] In one possible implementation, if the first condition is not met, the method further includes:

[0057] If a second event is detected, the transmission of the second measurement report to the second device is cancelled. This avoids sending unreliable second measurement reports to the second device, thereby reducing resource consumption.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0059] If the second condition is met, the execution of the first measurement is stopped. Thus, by setting a second condition to determine whether the execution of the first measurement needs to be stopped, the first measurement report can be stopped from being sent to the second device if the measurement results are unreliable, thereby reducing resource consumption.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the second condition includes detecting a third event, whereby the first target measurement result in the first measurement results is less than a third preset threshold. Setting the second condition in this way allows for a simple and efficient decision-making process based on the first measurement report.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the second condition also includes: the number of times the third event is detected is greater than or equal to a fourth preset number;

[0062] The number of times the third event was detected is defined as: the number of times the third event was detected within the third time period, and / or the number of times the third event was detected consecutively.

[0063] Setting the first condition in this way can increase the constraints included in the second condition, thereby retaining more reliable data.

[0064] In one possible implementation, if the second condition is met, the first measurement report also includes second notification information, which is used to indicate that the second condition is met;

[0065] The first information includes the second notification information.

[0066] The second device can decide whether the first device needs to report the first measurement report and / or the second measurement report based on the content contained in the first measurement report. This approach is advantageous because it is simple to implement and requires minimal changes to the protocol. Furthermore, since the second device can obtain more comprehensive information than the first device—for example, it can also obtain information about other UEs or other base stations—having the second device perform the decision-making improves the comprehensiveness of the processing of the first measurement report.

[0141] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, some terms and technologies involved in the embodiments of this application will be briefly introduced below:

[0142] 1. Access Network

[0143] The access network in a 5G system can be a radio access network ((R)AN). The (R)AN equipment in a 5G system can be composed of multiple 5G-(R)AN nodes. These 5G-(R)AN nodes can include: access points (APs) of non-3GPP access networks such as WiFi networks, next-generation base stations (collectively referred to as next-generation radio access network nodes (NG-RAN nodes), including new radio interface base stations (NR nodeB, gNB), next-generation evolved NB (NG-eNB), gNBs in a separate form of central unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU), etc.), transmission receive points (TRPs), transmission points (TPs), or other nodes.

[0144] Furthermore, the 5G core network (5G core / new generation core, 5GC / NGC) includes multiple functional units such as Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network elements, Session Management Function (SMF) network elements, User Plane Function (UPF) network elements, Sensing Function (SF) network elements, Authentication Server Function (AUSF) network elements, Policy Control Function (PCF) network elements, Application Function (AF) network elements, Unified Data Management (UDM) network elements, and Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) network elements.

[0145] Among them, the sensing network element possesses sensing control and sensing computing functions. For example, the sensing network element SF can select sensing devices, select sensing methods, control sensing services, and process sensing measurement data; it can process sensing measurement data independently. It can also work with the NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function) network element to achieve intelligent analysis and prediction. The NRF (Network Repository Function) network element can store the context information of the sensing network element, so that other network elements can discover and select appropriate sensing network elements through queries.

[0146] 2. RRC

[0147] RRC (Radio Resource Control) is a protocol in wireless communication, primarily used to manage resources in a wireless network and ensure that devices can effectively access and use the network. The RRC protocol is commonly found in mobile communication systems.

[0148] 3. MAC

[0149] The MAC (Medium Access Control Layer) is part of the data link layer and is responsible for coordinating access permissions between different devices on a shared channel, ensuring efficient use of network resources and reliable communication. It sits above the physical layer, and its main function is to manage how devices send and receive data via wireless or wired channels.

[0150] 4. Reference signal

[0151] Reference signals are signals for which the transmitting and receiving ends know information. The reference signals mentioned in this article include, but are not limited to: Positioning reference signal (PRS), Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), Sensing reference signal, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS), Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS), Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and correctly demodulated communication data signals, etc. This article does not impose any restrictions on these.

[0152] 5. Number of times the event occurred

[0153] The number of events mentioned in this article can include the following two cases: 1) the number of times a certain event occurs consecutively, and 2) the number of times a certain event occurs within a preset duration / pre-configured duration.

[0154] 6. Condition-related descriptions

[0155] In this document, conditions and actions performed when conditions are met include the equivalent contrapositive and the opposite action of the condition.

[0156] For example, if the condition for stopping the transmission of the first / second measurement report is met, then the first / second measurement report will be activated. Its equivalent contrapositive condition is: if the condition for enabling the transmission of the first / second measurement report is met, then the first / second measurement report will be activated. The following explanation uses only one type of condition.

[0157] 7. Change value

[0158] In this article, the change value can be understood as the absolute value of the difference. For example, the change value of A and B can be understood as the absolute value of the difference between A and B, i.e., |AB| or |BA|.

[0159] 8. Other terms

[0160] In the embodiments of this application, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish identical or similar items with substantially the same function and purpose. For example, "first chip" and "second chip" are used only to distinguish different chips and do not limit their order of execution. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and that "first" and "second" do not necessarily imply that they are different.

[0161] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0162] In this application embodiment, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, ab, a--c, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0163] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the communication scenarios involved in this application will be briefly described below.

Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a possible, non-limiting system architecture is shown. (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown, the communication system 100 includes a radio access network (RAN) 10 and a core network (CN) 20. Optionally, the communication system 100 also includes an Internet 30. The RAN 10 includes at least one RAN node (e.g., Figure 1 110a and 110b, collectively referred to as 110) and at least one terminal (such as Figure 1 RAN 10, denoted as RAN 10 (120a-120j), may also include other RAN nodes, such as wireless relay devices and / or wireless backhaul devices. Figure 1(Not shown in the image). Terminal 120 is connected to RAN node 110 wirelessly. RAN node 110 is connected to core network 20 wirelessly or via wired connection. The core network equipment in core network 20 and RAN node 110 in RAN 10 can be different physical devices, or they can be the same physical device integrating core network logical functions and radio access network logical functions.

[0166] RAN 10 can be a cellular system related to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), such as 4G, 5G mobile communication systems, or future-oriented evolution systems. RAN 10 can also be an open access network (O-RAN or ORAN), a cloud radio access network (CRAN), or a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) system. RAN 10 can also be a communication system that integrates two or more of the above systems.

[0167] RAN node 110, sometimes also referred to as access network equipment, network equipment, RAN entity, or access node, is part of the communication system and is used to help terminals achieve wireless access. Multiple RAN nodes 110 in communication system 100 can be of the same type or different types. In some scenarios, the roles of RAN node 110 and terminal 120 are relative, for example... Figure 1 Network element 120i can be a helicopter or a drone, and it can be configured as a mobile base station. For terminals 120j that access RAN 10 through network element 120i, network element 120i is a base station; however, for base station 110a, network element 120i is a terminal. RAN node 110 and terminal 120 are sometimes referred to as communication devices, for example... Figure 1 Network elements 110a and 110b can be understood as communication devices with base station functions, while network elements 120a-120j can be understood as communication devices with terminal functions.

[0168] In one possible scenario, a RAN node can be a base station, an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), a next-generation NodeB (gNB), a next-generation base station in a 6G mobile communication system, a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a WiFi system, etc. A RAN node can also be a macro base station (such as...) Figure 1 110a), micro base stations or indoor stations (such as Figure 1 In satellite communication systems, RAN nodes can be servers, wearable devices, vehicles, or in-vehicle equipment. For example, in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, the access network equipment can be a roadside unit (RSU). In satellite communication systems, RAN nodes can be satellites or base station equipment mounted on satellites. RAN nodes in satellite communication can also be satellite communication terminals, such as portable stations, fixed stations, vehicle-mounted or airborne satellite communication terminals. It should be understood that satellite communication terminals communicate with satellites and can act as micro base stations to further provide data interfaces to accessed user equipment.

[0169] In another possible scenario, multiple RAN nodes collaborate to assist the terminal in achieving wireless access, with different RAN nodes each implementing a portion of the base station's functions. For example, RAN nodes can be central units (CUs), distributed units (DUs), CU-control plane (CPs), CU-user plane (UPs), or radio units (RUs), etc. CUs and DUs can be set up separately or included in the same network element, such as a baseband unit (BBU). RUs can be included in radio frequency equipment or radio frequency units, such as remote radio units (RRUs), active antenna units (AAUs), or remote radio heads (RRHs).

[0170] In different systems, CU (or CU-CP and CU-UP), DU, or RU may have different names, but those skilled in the art will understand their meaning. For example, in an ORAN system, CU can also be called O-CU (open CU), DU can also be called O-DU, CU-CP can also be called O-CU-CP, CU-UP can also be called O-CU-UP, and RU can also be called O-RU. For ease of description, this application uses CU, CU-CP, CU-UP, DU, and RU as examples. Any of the units among CU (or CU-CP, CU-UP), DU, and RU in this application can be implemented through software modules, hardware modules, or a combination of software and hardware modules.

[0171] A terminal can also be called a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station, mobile terminal, etc. Terminals can be widely used in various scenarios, such as device-to-device (D2D), satellite communication (e.g., NTN), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial control, autonomous driving, telemedicine, smart grids, smart furniture, smart offices, smart wearables, smart transportation, smart cities, etc. Terminals can be mobile phones, tablets, computers with wireless transceiver capabilities, wearable devices, vehicles, drones, helicopters, airplanes, ships, robots, robotic arms, smart home devices, etc.

[0172] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal and network device can be hardware devices, or software functions running on dedicated hardware, or software functions running on general-purpose hardware, such as virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (e.g., cloud platform), or entities that include dedicated or general-purpose hardware devices and software functions. This application does not limit the specific form of the terminal and network device.

[0173] The relevant technical background involved in this application will be further explained in detail below.

[0174] Wireless signals are affected by surrounding objects or the environment during propagation, causing changes in characteristics such as signal amplitude and phase. Therefore, by analyzing the received signal, we can not only obtain the communication information carried by the signal, but also extract information reflecting the characteristics of the objects or environment.

[0175] Currently, with increasing overlap in the operating frequency bands of communication and sensing, the convergence of technologies towards large-scale antenna arrays, and the ability to share some hardware, mobile communication systems are expected to possess both communication and sensing capabilities simultaneously. Correspondingly, new services such as digital twins and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) are driving the convergence of communication and radar systems in terms of spectrum, technological trends, and applications.

[0176] The following is combined Figure 2 This section introduces one possible perception scenario. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the perception scene provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 .

[0177] like Figure 2As shown, the system includes a network device 201, four UEs (UE1, UE2, UE3, and UE4), and one sensing target 202 (human). For example, the network device 201 can emit a sensing signal, which, after being reflected by the human body of the sensing target 202, can be received by the UEs. For instance, all four UEs shown in the figure can receive the sensing signal. Then, the four UEs can, for example, perform measurements based on the received sensing signals and report the corresponding measurement results to the network device 201. Based on the measurement results reported by the UEs, the network device 201 can determine the sensing result for the sensing target 202. The sensing result may include, for example, the trajectory of the sensing target 202, which is illustrated by a dashed line in the figure.

[0178] However, the power variation of the sensed echo signal can be very large, potentially leading to intermittent measurement failures. Furthermore, the measurement results (such as Doppler readings) from each UE are not always reliable. In cases where rapidly changing sensed signal quality results in unreliable measurements, the reported results are essentially invalid, wasting network resources. It is also understandable that introducing sensing functionality increases the power consumption of network and terminal devices; for example, location calculation and the transmission / reception of measurement reports require energy. Therefore, reporting unreliable measurement results incurs additional energy consumption.

[0179] At the same time, it is understandable that because measurement results are usually intermittently unreliable, the sensing process cannot be stopped directly because of the unreliability of a single measurement result.

[0180] Therefore, how can we avoid invalid measurements and reports without halting sensing operations due to unreliable measurement results? To address this issue, a method is urgently needed to optimize the sensing measurement and reporting mechanism to improve energy efficiency and overall performance. Based on this, this application proposes the following technical concept: decoupling sensing measurement and reporting to a certain extent. For example, each sensing measurement report can be divided into two parts. The first part contains the measurement results regarding the quality of the sensed signal, and the second part contains the intermediate sensing results and / or the final sensing results that need to be processed. Then, the first part of the measurement report determines whether the second part should be sent, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of sensing data, reducing sensing energy consumption, and saving network resources.

[0181] The sensing measurement method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should also be understood that the above-described embodiments... Figure 2 This only introduces one possible perceptual scenario. Figure 2In the example, the UE performs the measurement and reports the measurement results to the base station, and the corresponding base station can send the corresponding configuration or instruction to the UE.

[0182] In another implementation, combined Figure 3 To understand, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the perception scene provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 .

[0183] like Figure 3 As shown, for example, the UE can also perform measurements and report the measurement results to the SF network element. The corresponding SF network element can then send relevant configurations or instructions to the UE. However, it's important to understand that the interaction between the UE and the SF network element typically goes through the base station. For instance, the base station can transparently transmit the measurement report sent by the UE, thereby sending the UE's measurement report to the SF network element. Similarly, the base station can transparently transmit the configurations or instructions sent by the SF network element, thereby sending the SF network element's configurations or instructions to the UE.

[0184] In another implementation, refer to Figure 3 For example, the base station can perform measurements and report the measurement results to the SF network element, and the corresponding SF network element can send corresponding configurations or instructions to the base station.

[0185] The differences between the above implementations lie in the signaling used for interaction between the UE and the base station, the signaling used for interaction between the UE and the SF network element, and the signaling used for interaction between the base station and the SF network element. For example, when the UE interacts with the SF network element, it can use higher-level signaling, such as LPP (Location Protocol) messages, or signaling corresponding to newer higher-level protocols. When the UE interacts with the base station, it can use RRC signaling, MAC layer signaling, or physical layer signaling, etc. And when the base station interacts with the SF network element, it can use NRPPa (NR Positioning Protocol Annex) messages, or signaling corresponding to newer higher-level protocols, etc.

[0186] In this application, the device that performs the measurement and sends the measurement report is referred to as the first device. Based on the above description, it can be determined that the first device 301 can be a UE or a base station. Similarly, the device that receives the measurement report and sends the corresponding configuration information is referred to as the second device. Based on the above description, it can be determined that the first device 302 can be a base station or an SF network element.

[0187] exist Figure 3 Based on the introduction, the following will combine... Figure 4 A brief description of the sensing measurement method provided in this application is given. Figure 4 Signaling interaction for the sensing measurement method provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 1 .

[0188] like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0189] S401. The first device performs a first measurement on the sensed signal and obtains a first measurement report.

[0190] In this embodiment, the first device can receive a sensing signal and perform a first measurement on the sensing signal to generate a first measurement report. The sensing signal can be understood as a sensing signal reflected by a sensing object. The sensing object can be the user (i.e., a human body) described in the above example, or it can also be a vehicle, animal, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific implementation of the sensing object.

[0191] The first measurement can be understood as a measurement performed on the quality of the sensed signal. After performing the first measurement, a first measurement result can be obtained, which is used to indicate the quality of the sensed signal. For example, the first measurement result includes at least one of the following: signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), reference signal received power (RSRP), and reference signal received quality (RSRQ).

[0192] S402, the first device sends a first measurement report to the second device, and the first measurement report includes first information.

[0193] After the first device generates a first measurement report, it can send the first measurement report to the second device. For example, the first measurement report may include first information, which is used by the second device to determine whether the first device should send a second measurement report.

[0194] In one implementation, the first device may determine, for example, whether to send a second measurement report based on a first measurement report. Then, the first information may be used to inform the second device whether the first device will send a second measurement report.

[0195] In another implementation, the first device can also send relevant reference information to the second device, which then determines whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report. The first information could, for example, include the relevant reference information.

[0196] S403. The first device performs a second measurement on the sensed signal and obtains a second measurement report.

[0197] Subsequently, the first device can also perform a second measurement on the sensing signal. In this embodiment, the second measurement can be understood as a measurement performed on the sensing signal to obtain intermediate and final sensing results. After performing the second measurement, a second measurement report can be obtained.

[0198] Accordingly, the second measurement report may include intermediate sensing results and final sensing results. For example, the intermediate sensing results may include the second measurement results of the sensing signal, wherein the second measurement results include at least one of the following: reference signal arrival time RSTD, relative arrival time RTOA, reference signal time difference RSTD, reference signal transmission and reception time difference, carrier phase RSCP, carrier phase difference RSCPD, azimuth angle of arrival, azimuth angle of departure, elevation angle of arrival, and elevation angle of departure.

[0199] The final perception result may include at least one of the following: the location of the perceived target, the trajectory of the perceived target, and indications of the presence or absence of the perceived target, etc.

[0200] S404, The first device sends a second measurement report to the second device.

[0201] Subsequently, if the first measurement report is determined to be sent based on the first information in the first measurement report, the first device may send the second measurement report to the second device.

[0202] Alternatively, if it is determined, based on the first information in the first measurement report, that a second measurement report should not be sent, then the first device will not send a second measurement report to the second device.

[0203] In this embodiment, the first measurement is a measurement of the quality of the sensed signal. After the measurement is completed, a first measurement report indicating the quality of the sensed signal can be obtained. The second measurement in this application can be understood as a measurement process that is more complex or requires computation to obtain the result. After the measurement is completed, a second measurement report containing intermediate sensing results and / or the final sensing result can be obtained. By dividing the sensed signal measurement report into two parts, and determining whether to send the second measurement report based on the first measurement report, the transmission of the second measurement report can be cancelled in some unnecessary cases, effectively reducing the energy consumption caused by sensing and saving network resources.

[0204] Based on the above introduction, the first measurement report will now be described in further detail. In one implementation, the first measurement report may include at least one of the following:

[0205] 1. First measurement results

[0206] Based on the above introduction, it can be determined that the first measurement result is the result obtained by performing a first measurement on the sensed signal, and the first measurement result is used to indicate the quality of the sensed signal.

[0207] It is also important to understand that the current first device can include measurements in multiple dimensions during the measurement of the sensed signal. For example, the measurement of the sensed signal can include distance measurement (i.e., ranging), velocity measurement (i.e., speed measurement), and angle measurement (i.e., angle measurement). For these different dimensions, resources at different time and frequency locations can be selected to perform these measurements.

[0208] The following uses speed measurement and distance measurement as examples, combined with... Figure 5 This section introduces the resources for sensing signals. Figure 5 This is a resource diagram illustrating the sensing signals provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 The resources shown in the diagram can all be understood as time-frequency resources for sensing signals. Because ranging requires a large bandwidth and speed measurement requires a long coherent processing time, ranging can be performed based on the resources indicated by 501 in the diagram, and speed measurement can be performed based on the resources indicated by 502 in the diagram.

[0209] And in Figure 5 In the illustration, resources 501 and 502 partially overlap, and the overlapping area is 503 shown in the figure. Therefore, the resource indicated by 503 in the figure can be understood as a common resource used for ranging and speed measurement. In other words, both ranging and speed measurement can be performed on resource 503.

[0210] Based on this, the first measurement result described above for indicating the quality of the sensed signal may lead to the following possible scenarios:

[0211] Case a: Corresponding to the dimension of ranging, the first measurement result can be the measurement result calculated for the resources in the ranging part. For example, the parameters such as SINR, SNR, RSRP, and RSRQ included in the first measurement result can be the results obtained by measuring the resources in the ranging part.

[0212] In scenario b, corresponding to the speed measurement dimension, the first measurement result can be the measurement result calculated for the resources of the speed measurement part. For example, the parameters such as SINR, SNR, RSRP, and RSRQ included in the first measurement result can be the results obtained by measuring the resources of the speed measurement part.

[0213] Case c: Corresponding to the dimension of the angle measurement, the first measurement result can be the measurement result calculated for the resources of the angle measurement portion. For example, the parameters such as SINR, SNR, RSRP, and RSRQ included in the first measurement result can be the results obtained by measuring the resources of the angle measurement portion.

[0214] Case d: The first measurement result may also include measurement results from multiple dimensions simultaneously. For example, the first measurement result may include any combination of the following: measurement results calculated for the resources of the distance measurement part, measurement results calculated for the resources of the velocity measurement part, and measurement results calculated for the resources of the angle measurement part. For example, the first measurement result includes parameters such as SINR, SNR, RSRP, and RSRQ obtained from measuring the resources of the velocity measurement part, as well as parameters such as SINR, SNR, RSRP, and RSRQ obtained from measuring the resources of the distance measurement part, and also parameters such as SINR, SNR, RSRP, and RSRQ obtained from measuring the resources of the angle measurement part.

[0215] In case e, it can also be understood that, regardless of whether it's the distance dimension, velocity dimension, or angle dimension, the resources used for these measurements are actually the resources of the sensing signal. Therefore, the first measurement result can also be a measurement result calculated for all resources of the sensing signal. For example, parameters such as SINR, SNR, RSRP, and RSRQ included in the first measurement result can be results obtained by measuring the overall resources of the sensing signal.

[0216] Based on the cases a to e of the first measurement results described above, it can be understood that these different cases correspond to different implementations of the measurement results contained in the second measurement report.

[0217] Corresponding to scenario a above, the second measurement report may include second measurement results and / or sensing results in the distance dimension. Corresponding to scenario b above, the second measurement report may include second measurement results and / or sensing results in the velocity dimension. Corresponding to scenario c above, the second measurement report may include second measurement results and / or sensing results in the angle dimension. Corresponding to scenario d above, the second measurement report may include second measurement results and / or sensing results in any of the following dimensions: distance dimension, velocity dimension, and angle dimension. Corresponding to scenario e above, the second measurement report may include second measurement results obtained from overall resource measurement of the sensing signal, as well as sensing results in the distance dimension, velocity dimension, and angle dimension.

[0218] 2. First instruction information

[0219] The first indication information is used to instruct the first device whether to send a second measurement report. In one implementation, the first device can determine whether to send a second measurement report based on the first measurement result. Therefore, the first measurement report may include the first indication information, which can inform the second device whether it will send a second measurement report.

[0220] 3. Second instruction information

[0221] The second indication information is used to indicate the first resource used to perform the first measurement. The second indication information may be, for example, the resource ID or resource set ID of the first resource.

[0222] Furthermore, the first resource is the time-frequency resource of the sensed signal. Based on the above introduction, it can be determined that different resources of the sensed signal can be used for measurement for different dimensions. Accordingly, when sending measurement reports, for example, separate measurement reports can be sent according to different dimensions, or a complete measurement report of the sensed signal can be sent.

[0223] Therefore, if measurement reports of sensing signals are sent separately according to different dimensions, the first resource indicated by the second indication information can be the resource of the sensing signal corresponding to the measurement of each dimension.

[0224] by Figure 5 Taking the content described above as an example, assuming that only the first measurement report for the distance dimension is sent, then the first resource indicated by the second indication information can be understood as resource 501 used for ranging. It can also be understood that the first measurement result in the first measurement report is the first measurement result for the distance dimension. Correspondingly, the second measurement report also contains the second measurement result for the distance dimension.

[0225] For example, assuming a first measurement report for the speed dimension is sent alone, the first resource indicated by the second indication information can be understood as resource 502 used for speed measurement. It can also be understood that the first measurement result in the first measurement report is the first measurement result for the speed dimension. Correspondingly, the second measurement report also contains the second measurement result for the speed dimension.

[0226] The implementation of angle and dimension is similar, and will not be elaborated here.

[0227] Furthermore, if the first device is transmitting a comprehensive measurement report of the sensing signal, then the first resource indicated in the second instruction information can be understood as the comprehensive resource of the sensing signal. It can also be understood that the measurement results in the measurement report are the results obtained by measuring the comprehensive resource of the sensing signal.

[0228] 4. Purpose of using the primary resource

[0229] The first measurement report includes second indication information, which indicates the first resource used in the first measurement. The first measurement report may also include, for example, the purpose of using the first resource, which may include, for example, the aforementioned: speed measurement, distance measurement, and angle measurement, etc.

[0230] Furthermore, the purpose of use and the first measurement result are related. For example, when the purpose of use includes speed measurement, the first measurement result includes the measurement result in the speed dimension. As another example, when the purpose of use includes distance measurement, the first measurement result includes the measurement result in the distance dimension. As yet another example, when the purpose of use includes angle measurement, the first measurement result includes the measurement result in the angle dimension. Furthermore, when the purpose of use includes sensing, or when the purpose of use includes speed measurement, distance measurement, and angle measurement simultaneously, the first measurement result may also include the measurement result for the sensing signal as a whole.

[0231] 5. Uncertainty of the second measurement result and / or uncertainty of the perceived result

[0232] For example, during the execution of the second measurement, in addition to obtaining the second measurement results and / or sensing results described above, the first device can also simultaneously determine the uncertainty of the second measurement results and / or the uncertainty of the sensing results. Exemplarily, the first measurement report may include the uncertainties of various measurement results in the second measurement report.

[0233] Based on the above embodiments, it can be determined that the first information can be used to determine whether the first device should send a second measurement report. There are two possible implementations of the first information. One implementation is that the first device determines whether to send a second measurement report based on the first measurement report. In this case, the first information can be used to inform the second device whether the first device will send a second measurement report. The other implementation is that the first device sends relevant reference information to the second device through the first information, and the second device determines whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report. These two implementations will be described below.

[0234] First, combine Figures 6 to 13 The first implementation, namely the implementation in which the first device determines whether to send a second measurement report based on the first measurement report, will be introduced. Figure 6 Signaling interaction for the sensing measurement method provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 2 , Figure 7 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 1 , Figure 8 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 2 , Figure 9This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 3 , Figure 10 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 4 , Figure 11 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 5 , Figure 12 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 6 , Figure 13 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 7 .

[0235] like Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0236] S601. The first device performs a first measurement on the sensed signal and obtains a first measurement report.

[0237] S602, the first device sends a first measurement report to the second device, and the first measurement report includes first indication information.

[0238] The implementations of S601-S602 are similar to those of S401-S402, and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the first measurement report sent by the first device to the second device may include first indication information. The first indication information is used to inform the second device whether the first device will subsequently send a second measurement report. For example, the second device determines whether the first device will subsequently send a second measurement report based on the first indication information, and then determines whether it needs to allocate transmission resources for the second measurement report to the first device, or whether the transmission resources for the second measurement report can be released.

[0239] For example, if the second device determines, based on the first indication information, that the first device will subsequently send a second measurement report, it can send configuration information to the first device to allocate transmission resources for the second measurement report. Alternatively, if the second device determines, based on the first indication information, that the first device will not subsequently send a second measurement report, it can release the allocated transmission resources for transmitting the second measurement report to improve resource utilization.

[0240] And if the first device determines on its own whether to send a second measurement report, the first information may be, for example, the first instruction information described above.

[0241] S603. The first device performs a second measurement on the sensed signal and obtains a second measurement report.

[0242] S604. The first device sends a second measurement report to the second device.

[0243] The implementations of S603 to S604 are similar to those described in S403 to S404 above, and will not be repeated here. (Refer to...) Figure 6 It can be determined that, if the first instruction information indicates that a second measurement report should be sent, the first device will send a second measurement report to the second device.

[0244] Alternatively, it can be configured so that if the second device does not receive the first instruction information, the second device assumes that the first device will send a second measurement report. This can be understood as a default scenario, meaning that if the second device does not receive the first instruction information, it assumes that the first device will send a second measurement report.

[0245] Alternatively, if the second device does not receive the first instruction information, the second device can also send a request to the first device to request the first device to send a first measurement report. The current implementation can be understood as handling abnormal situations.

[0246] Based on the above description, it can be determined that in this implementation, the first device needs to determine whether to send the second measurement report. In this implementation, the first device can, for example, determine whether a preset first condition is met based on the first measurement result in the first measurement report, thereby determining whether to send the second measurement report.

[0247] In addition, the first device may, for example, determine whether a preset second condition is met based on the first measurement result in the first measurement report, thereby determining whether to send the first measurement report, so as to directly cancel the sending of the first measurement report if it is unnecessary to send it, further saving the energy consumption of sensing and further saving network resources.

[0248] The following sections will introduce several possible implementation methods for the first and second conditions, using specific examples.

[0249] Option 1: The first condition includes detecting the first event, and the second condition includes detecting the third event.

[0250] In one implementation, the first event refers to the first target measurement result in the first measurement result being less than or equal to the first preset threshold X1.

[0251] The first target measurement result can be any parameter in the first measurement result. For example, RSRP or SNR can be selected as the first target measurement result. This embodiment does not limit this. It is sufficient to predefine which parameter in the first measurement result is selected as the first target measurement result. The following description uses RSRP as the first target measurement result. It can be understood that the implementation of selecting other parameters as the first target measurement result is similar and will not be elaborated further.

[0252] Furthermore, the first preset threshold is a threshold set for the first target measurement result. For example, for RSRP, the first preset threshold can be set to X1. Also, referring to the above description, it can be determined that the implementation of the first measurement result in this embodiment includes cases a to e described above, and the first preset threshold can be set accordingly for these different cases.

[0253] For example, corresponding to case a described above, where the first measurement result is the result calculated for the distance measurement portion of the resource, then the first preset threshold can be the threshold set for the RSRP in the distance dimension. In this implementation, the RSRP in the distance dimension is compared with the first preset threshold.

[0254] For example, corresponding to case b described above, where the first measurement result is the result calculated for the speed measurement component, the first preset threshold can be the threshold set for the RSRP of the speed dimension. In this implementation, the RSRP of the speed dimension is simply compared with the first preset threshold.

[0255] For example, corresponding to case c described above, where the first measurement result is the result calculated for the angle measurement portion, the first preset threshold can be the threshold set for the RSRP of the angle dimension. In this implementation, the RSRP of the angle dimension is compared with the first preset threshold.

[0256] For example, corresponding to case d described above, where the first measurement result includes measurement results from multiple dimensions, the first preset threshold can include thresholds set separately for the RSRP of each of the multiple dimensions. In this implementation, for example, the maximum / minimum / average value among the RSRPs of multiple dimensions can be selected as the first target measurement result, and a preset threshold corresponding to the dimension of the first target measurement result can be selected for comparison. Taking the selection of the maximum value among the RSRPs of multiple dimensions as the first target measurement result as an example, assuming the RSRP of the velocity dimension is the maximum value among the RSRPs of multiple dimensions, the RSRP of the velocity dimension can be compared with the threshold set for the velocity dimension to determine the subsequent processing method.

[0257] For example, corresponding to case e described above, where the first measurement result includes the measurement result of the overall resources of the sensed signal, then the first preset threshold can include a threshold set for the RSRP of the overall resources of the sensed signal. In this implementation, the RSRP measured for the overall resources is compared with the first preset threshold.

[0258] In summary, regardless of which of the above conditions a to d the first measurement result falls under, as long as the first target measurement result is selected according to the preset rules, and then compared with the first target measurement result based on the first preset threshold corresponding to the first target measurement result, it can be determined whether the first condition described in this embodiment is met. It is understood that the processing of the first measurement result for various conditions is similar; therefore, the following description will directly focus on the first target measurement result without distinguishing between different conditions. Furthermore, the following explanation uses RSRP as an example of the first target measurement result; the implementation is similar when other parameters are used as the first target measurement result.

[0259] The following is combined Figure 7 The first condition in the current embodiment will be described, such as Figure 7 As shown, assuming that RSRP is determined to be greater than the first preset threshold X1 at time t1, it means that RSRP does not meet the first condition. Therefore, after the first device sends the first measurement report A1 at time t2, it can normally send the second measurement report A2 corresponding to the first measurement report A1 at time t3. Furthermore, the first measurement report A1 may include, for example, first indication information, which indicates that the first device will send the second measurement report, so that the second device can determine that the first device will subsequently send the second measurement report normally.

[0260] Furthermore, assuming that RSRP is determined to be less than the first preset threshold X1 at time t4, this means that RSRP meets the first condition, and therefore the first device can stop sending the second measurement report to the second device. There are several possibilities for how the first device stops sending the second measurement report to the second device, which will be described below.

[0261] In one possible implementation, the first device, upon determining that a first condition is met, may, for example, simply stop sending the second measurement report during the current measurement process. (See reference...) Figure 7For example, the first device determines at time t4 that the RSRP meets the first condition, then sends a first measurement report B1 for this measurement at time t5, and subsequently does not send a second measurement report for this measurement. Accordingly, the first measurement report B1 may include first indication information, which indicates that the first device will not send a second measurement report for this measurement. Whether a second measurement report occurs during subsequent measurements depends on the RSRP situation during those measurements.

[0262] For example, refer to Figure 7 Then, at time t6, the first device sends the first measurement report C1 for the next measurement process. Whether a second measurement report C2 needs to be sent depends on the target measurement parameters in the first measurement report C1. This implementation allows for a separate determination of whether to send a second measurement report for each measurement process, thereby decoupling multiple measurement processes.

[0263] In another implementation, the first device, upon determining that a first condition is met, may, for example, stop sending both the current measurement report and the second measurement report in subsequent measurement processes. (See reference...) Figure 7 For example, if the first device determines at time t4 that RSRP meets the first condition, then it directly stops sending all subsequent second measurement reports. For instance, the first device sends the first measurement report B1 for this measurement at time t5, and does not send the second measurement report B2 subsequently. Similarly, the first device sends the first measurement report C1 for the next measurement at time t6, and does not send the second measurement report B2 subsequently. It can be understood that both the first measurement report B1 and the first measurement report C1 contain first indication information, and this first indication information is used to instruct the first device not to send the second measurement report. This implementation method can stop reporting second measurement reports when the first condition is met, thus avoiding energy consumption caused by reporting invalid measurement reports and saving network resources.

[0264] In another implementation, if the first device determines that the first condition is met, for example, it can send the second measurement report L more times and then stop reporting the second measurement report. This provides the second device with some time to reselect the sensing node and ensures the continuity of the sensing service.

[0265] Furthermore, even if the first device stops reporting the second measurement report, there are still multiple ways for the first device to process the second measurement report.

[0266] In one implementation, the first device can still perform the second measurement, but without sending a second measurement report to the second device. This can save energy and network resources associated with sending the measurement report to some extent. Alternatively, the first device can directly stop performing the second measurement, meaning it will not generate a second measurement report and therefore will not send one to the second device. This can save even more energy and network resources, as it saves both the energy and network resources consumed by sending the measurement report and the energy and network resources consumed by performing the second measurement itself.

[0267] The above describes the implementation of the first condition. The implementation of the second condition is described below. In one implementation, the second condition may include: detecting a third event, where the third event refers to a first target measurement result in the first measurement result being less than or equal to a third preset threshold Y1. The third preset threshold can be set to be less than the first preset threshold.

[0268] The understanding of the measurement results for the first target is similar to that described above, and will not be repeated here. The following section will combine... Figure 8 The second condition in the current embodiment will be described as follows: Figure 8 As shown, assuming that RSRP is determined to be less than the first preset threshold X1 at time t1, it means that RSRP meets the first condition, and therefore the first device can stop sending the second measurement report to the second device. Its implementation is similar to that described above and will not be repeated here.

[0269] For example, if RSRP is determined to be less than the third preset threshold Y1 at time t4, it means that RSRP meets the second condition, and therefore the first device can stop sending the first measurement report to the second device.

[0270] In one possible implementation, the first device, upon determining that the second condition is met, may, for example, simply stop sending the first measurement report during the current measurement process. (See reference...) Figure 8 For example, if the first device determines that the RSRP meets the second condition at time t4, it will not send the first measurement report B1 for this measurement at time t5. Furthermore, if the second condition is met, the first condition must also be met, and consequently, the second measurement report B2 for this measurement will not be sent subsequently. Whether the first measurement report is sent in subsequent measurements depends on the RSRP status during those measurements. This implementation allows for separate determination of whether to send the first measurement report for each measurement process, thus achieving decoupling of multiple measurement processes.

[0271] In another implementation, the first device, upon determining that the second condition is met, may, for example, stop sending the first measurement report for both the current measurement process and subsequent measurement processes. (See reference...) Figure 8For example, if the first device determines at time t4 that RSRP meets the second condition, then it directly stops sending all subsequent first measurement reports. For instance, the first device stops sending the first measurement report B1 for this measurement at time t5, and subsequently stops sending the second measurement report B2. This implementation method can stop reporting the first measurement report when the second condition is met, thus saving energy consumption and network resources caused by reporting invalid measurement reports.

[0272] Furthermore, even if the first device stops reporting the first measurement report, there are multiple ways for the first device to process the first measurement report.

[0273] In one implementation, the first device can still perform the first measurement, but without sending the first measurement report to the second device. This can save energy and network resources associated with sending the measurement report. Alternatively, the first device can directly stop performing the first measurement, meaning it will not generate the first measurement report and therefore will not send it to the second device. This will save even more energy and network resources, as it saves energy and network resources used for both sending the measurement report and performing the first measurement.

[0274] In this scheme, by comparing the first target measurement result with the corresponding preset threshold, it is possible to simply and effectively determine whether a first measurement report and / or a second measurement report need to be reported.

[0275] Option 2: The first condition includes detecting a first event, and the number of times the first event is detected is greater than or equal to a first preset number; the second condition includes detecting a third event, and the number of times the third event is detected is greater than or equal to a fourth preset number.

[0276] In this embodiment, the implementation of the first event is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. The difference is that the first condition in this embodiment further includes: the number of times the first event is detected is greater than or equal to a first preset number. Further, for example, it can be limited to the number of times the first event is detected within a first time window being greater than or equal to the first preset number.

[0277] The first time window can be a sensing and measurement time window, which can be a fixed time window, a sliding time window, or a periodic time window; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. Assuming the duration of the sensing and measurement time window is a first duration, the first condition in this embodiment can also be described as: the number of times the first event is detected within the first duration is greater than or equal to a first preset number.

[0278] For example, a first counter Q1 can be set to count the number of times the first event is detected. See below for further details. Figure 9 Understand the first condition, assume Figure 9 All the times described are within the perception measurement time window, and it is assumed that the first preset number of times is set to 2.

[0279] like Figure 9 As shown, assuming the first counter Q1 is initially 0, and at time t1 it is determined that RSRP is greater than the first preset threshold X1, meaning the first event was not detected, then the first counter Q1 remains 0. Because the first condition is not currently met, the first device will subsequently send the first measurement report and the second measurement report normally. (Refer to...) Figure 9 The first device can send a first measurement report A1 at time t2 and a second measurement report A2 at time t3.

[0280] Subsequently, for example, if at time t4 it is determined that RSRP is less than the first preset threshold X1, which means the first event has been detected, then the first counter Q1 equals 1. The number indicated by Q1, 1, is still less than the first preset number, 2. Therefore, the first condition has not yet been met, and the first device will then normally send the first measurement report and the second measurement report. (Refer to...) Figure 9 The first device can send a first measurement report B1 at time t5 and a second measurement report B2 at time t6.

[0281] Subsequently, for example, if at time t7 it is determined that RSRP is less than the first preset threshold X1, which means the first event has been detected, then the first counter Q1 equals 2. The count indicated by Q1, 2, is now equal to the first preset count, 2. Therefore, it can be determined that the first condition is met, and thus the first device stops sending the second measurement report. (Refer to...) Figure 9 The first device can send the first measurement report C1 at time t8, but will not send the second measurement report C2.

[0282] The implementation of stopping the sending of the second measurement report when the first device determines that the first condition is met is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0283] It is also important to understand that the implementation of detecting the first event within the first time window is optional. In other words, it is also possible not to set a first time window, and to continuously detect the first event as long as the first device is performing measurement, without being limited to detecting the first event within a certain time period.

[0284] In this embodiment, the number of times the first event is detected, indicated by the first counter Q1, can be continuous or discontinuous. Figure 9The scenario described here is the consecutive case, meaning that the RSRP obtained from two consecutive measurements is less than the first preset threshold. In this case, the number of times the first event was detected, as described in the first condition, can be understood as the number of consecutive detections of the first event. That is, if the first event is detected in K consecutive measurements, then the number of times the first event was detected can be determined to be K, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0285] In such a continuous implementation, for example, when RSRP is determined to be greater than a first preset threshold, the first counter Q1 can be cleared to achieve the first timer Q1 counting the number of times the first event is continuously detected.

[0286] Next, let's combine... Figure 10 The case where the number of times the first event was detected, as indicated by the first counter, is discontinuous will be discussed. Again, it is assumed that... Figure 10 All the times described are within the perception measurement time window, and it is assumed that the first preset number of times is set to 2.

[0287] Figure 10 The situation from time t1 to t6 is the same as described above. Figure 9 The situation is similar and will not be elaborated here. Later, for example, if at time t7 it is determined that RSRP is greater than the first preset threshold X1, meaning the first event was not detected, the first counter Q1 will not be zeroed and will remain at 1. However, because the first condition is not currently met, the first device will subsequently send the first and second measurement reports normally. (Refer to...) Figure 10 The first device can send a first measurement report C1 at time t8 and a second measurement report C2 at time t9.

[0288] Subsequently, for example, if at time t10 it is determined that RSRP is less than the first preset threshold X1, which means the first event has been detected, then the first counter Q1 equals 2. The count indicated by Q1, 2, is now equal to the first preset count, 2. Therefore, it can be determined that the first condition is met, and thus the first device stops sending the second measurement report. (Refer to...) Figure 10 The first device can send the first measurement report D1 at time t11, but will not send the second measurement report D2.

[0289] In this embodiment, the implementation of the third event is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. The difference is that the first condition in this embodiment also includes: the number of times the third event is detected is greater than or equal to a fourth preset number. Further, for example, it can be limited to the number of times the third event is detected within a third time window being greater than or equal to a fourth preset number.

[0290] The third time window can be a sensing and measurement time window, which can be a fixed time window, a sliding time window, or a periodic time window; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. Assuming the duration of the sensing and measurement time window is a third duration, the second condition in this embodiment can also be described as: the number of times the third event is detected within the third duration is greater than or equal to a fourth preset number.

[0291] For example, a second counter Q2 can be set to count the number of times a third event is detected. See below for further details. Figure 11 Understand the second condition, assume Figure 11 All the times described are within the perception measurement time window, and it is assumed that the fourth preset number of times is set to 2.

[0292] Figure 11 The situation from time t1 to t8 is the same as described above. Figure 9 The situation is similar in other cases, so it will not be elaborated upon here. For example... Figure 11 As shown, for example, if RSRP is determined to be less than the third preset threshold Y1 at time t9, it means that the third event has been detected, and the second counter Q2 equals 1. The number indicated by Q2, 1, is less than the fourth preset number, 2. Therefore, the second condition is not currently met, so the first device will send the first measurement report normally, but will not send the second measurement report. (Refer to...) Figure 11 The first device can send the first measurement report D1 at time t10, but does not send the subsequent second measurement report D2.

[0293] Subsequently, for example, if at time t11 it is determined that RSRP is less than the third preset threshold Y1, which means a third event has been detected, then the second counter Q2 equals 2. The count indicated by Q2, 2, is now equal to the fourth preset count, 2. Therefore, it can be determined that the second condition is met, and thus the first device stops sending the first measurement report. (Refer to...) Figure 11 After time t11, the first device does not send the first measurement report E1, nor does it send the second measurement report E2.

[0294] The implementation of stopping the first measurement report when the second condition is met is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0295] It is also important to understand that the implementation of detecting the third event within the third time window is optional. In other words, a third time window can be omitted, and the third event can be continuously detected as long as the first device is performing measurement, without being limited to detecting the third event within a certain duration.

[0296] Similar to the first counter Q1 described above, the number of times the third event is detected, indicated by the second counter Q2, can be continuous or discontinuous. Figure 11 The scenario described is the consecutive case, meaning that the RSRP obtained from two consecutive measurements is less than the third preset threshold. In this case, the number of times the third event was detected, as described in the second condition, can be understood as the number of consecutive detections of the third event. That is, if the third event is detected in K consecutive measurements, then the number of times the third event was detected can be determined to be K, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0297] In this continuous implementation, for example, when RSRP is determined to be greater than a third preset threshold, the second counter Q2 can be cleared to achieve the function of the second timer Q2 counting the number of times the first event is detected consecutively.

[0298] The situation where the number of times the third event is detected, as indicated by the second counter, is discontinuous is similar to that described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0299] In one implementation, the moment when the count of the third event begins (i.e., the moment when the second counter Q2 starts counting) can be the moment when RSRP is less than the third preset threshold, or it can be the moment when the first device stops reporting the second measurement report (which can also be understood as the moment when the first condition is met). This embodiment does not limit this.

[0300] In this scheme, the measurement results of the first target are compared with the corresponding preset thresholds to determine whether a first event and / or a third event has occurred. Simultaneously, the occurrence of the first and / or third events is counted. Only when the number of occurrences of the first and / or third events exceeds a certain threshold is it determined whether a first measurement report and / or a second measurement report need to be reported. This can effectively improve the reliability and accuracy of the determination to a certain extent. In other words, the sending of the first and / or second measurement reports is stopped only when absolutely necessary.

[0301] Option 3: The first condition includes detecting the second event, and the second condition includes detecting the third event (optional second condition may also include detecting the third event a number greater than or equal to a third preset number).

[0302] The second event is an event used to indicate that the second measurement result is unreliable. For example, the second event may include at least one of the following: the second target measurement result in the second measurement report does not belong to the first preset range; the uncertainty of the second target measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold; in the second measurement reports obtained from P consecutive second measurements, the number of times the change value of the second target measurement result in two adjacent second measurement reports exceeds the second preset threshold is greater than or equal to M times, where P and M are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0303] As described above, the second measurement report can include the second measurement result and / or the final sensing result of the sensed signal. Both the second measurement result and the sensing result can serve as the second target measurement result in this embodiment. It is sufficient to predefine which one or more measurement results in the second measurement report will be used as the second target measurement result.

[0304] Corresponding to cases a to e of the first measurement results described above, the second measurement results and / or perception results included in the second measurement report also have their own corresponding implementations, as detailed above. Similar to the first target measurement result described above, regardless of which of cases a to d the second measurement report corresponds to, as long as the second target measurement result is selected in the second measurement report according to the preset rules, and then compared with the preset range and preset threshold corresponding to the second target measurement result, it can be determined whether the first condition described in this embodiment is met.

[0305] The implementation of the second target measurement result can be understood by referring to the content introduced above for the first target measurement result. Correspondingly, it can be understood that the processing of the second measurement report is similar for various situations; therefore, the following description will directly focus on the second target measurement result without distinguishing between different situations. Furthermore, the following explanation uses the position of the perceived object as an example of the second target measurement result; the implementation is similar when other measurement results are used as the second target measurement result.

[0306] The second event described above will be further elaborated below, taking the location of the perceived object as the subject.

[0307] For example, a desired location range (i.e., a first preset range) can be set for the location of the perceived object. When the location of the perceived object does not belong to the desired location range, it can be determined that a second event has been detected.

[0308] For example, after the first device performs the second measurement and obtains the corresponding measurement result, it can simultaneously determine the degree of uncertainty of each measurement result. Then, a first preset threshold for the degree of uncertainty regarding the position of the sensed object can be set. When the degree of uncertainty regarding the position of the sensed object exceeds the first preset threshold, it can be determined that a second event has been detected.

[0309] For example, assuming P is 3 and M is 2, and assuming a second preset threshold is set for measuring the difference in the position of the sensed object, this difference can be understood as the maximum change between two adjacent measurements. Then, for example, in the second measurement reports obtained from three consecutive second measurements, if the change in the position of the sensed object in two adjacent second measurement reports exceeds the second preset threshold more than or equal to two times, a second event can be determined to have been detected. In this embodiment, the change value can be understood as the absolute value of the difference, such as the change in the position of the sensed object in two adjacent second measurement reports, that is, the absolute value of the difference in the positions of the sensed object in two adjacent second measurement reports.

[0310] Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the various triggering conditions for the second event described above can be combined with each other. When the second event corresponds to multiple triggering conditions, the second event can be considered detected when all multiple triggering conditions are met.

[0311] The following is combined Figure 12 The first condition in the current embodiment will be described. For example... Figure 12 As shown, assuming the second event is detected at time t1, it is considered that the second condition is met at this time. Therefore, the first device can stop sending the second measurement report to the second device. (Refer to...) Figure 12 The first device can send the first measurement report A1 to the second device at time t2, but will not send the second measurement report A2 thereafter.

[0312] The implementation of the first device stopping sending the second measurement report to the second device is similar to that described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0313] In one possible implementation, the first condition in this embodiment may further include detecting a first event (i.e., the first target measurement result is less than or equal to a first preset threshold X1). That is, when the first event and the second event are detected, the first condition can be considered to be satisfied. In this way, the measurement results of the first measurement report and the second measurement report can be combined to determine whether to send the second measurement report, thereby improving the reliability of the determination result of whether the first measurement report and the second measurement report should be sent.

[0314] The second condition in the current implementation is similar to that described in Case 1 and Case 2 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0315] In this solution, determining whether a second measurement report needs to be submitted is simple and effective by identifying whether an unreliable second event has occurred. Furthermore, using the detection of a second event for this determination helps to retain reliable measurement results as much as possible and minimizes the possibility of reliable second measurement results failing to be sent to the second device.

[0316] Option 4: The first condition includes detecting a second event, and the number of times the second event is detected is greater than or equal to a second preset number. The second condition includes detecting a third event (optionally, the second condition may also include detecting a third event more than or equal to a third preset number).

[0317] In this embodiment, the implementation of the second event is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. The difference is that the first condition in this embodiment further includes: the number of times the second event is detected is greater than or equal to a second preset number. Further, for example, it can be limited to the number of times the second event is detected within a second time window being greater than or equal to a second preset number.

[0318] The second time window can be a sensing and measurement time window, which can be a fixed time window, a sliding time window, or a periodic time window; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. Assuming the duration of the sensing and measurement time window is a second duration, the first condition in this embodiment can also be described as: the number of times the second event is detected within the second duration is greater than or equal to a second preset number.

[0319] For example, a third counter Q3 can be set to count the number of times the second event is detected. See below for further details. Figure 13 Understand the first condition, assume Figure 13 All the times described are within the perception measurement time window, and it is assumed that the second preset number of times is set to 2.

[0320] like Figure 13 As shown, assuming the third counter Q3 is initially 0, and assuming the second event is detected at time t1, then the third counter Q3 will equal 1. The count indicated by Q3, 1, is less than the second preset count, 2. Therefore, the first condition is still not met, and the first device will subsequently send the second measurement report normally. (Refer to...) Figure 13 The first device can send a first measurement report A1 at time t2 and a second measurement report A2 at time t3.

[0321] Subsequently, for example, if the second event is detected at time t4, then the third counter Q3 will equal 2. The count indicated by Q3, 2, is now equal to the second preset count, 2. Therefore, it can be determined that the first condition is met, and thus the first device stops sending the second measurement report. (Refer to...) Figure 13 The first device can send the first measurement report B1 at time t5, but will not send the second measurement report B2.

[0322] The implementation of stopping the sending of the second measurement report when the first device determines that the first condition is met is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0323] It is also important to understand that the implementation of detecting the second event within the second time window is optional. In other words, a second time window can be omitted, and the second event can be continuously detected as long as the first device is performing measurement, without being limited to detecting the second event within a certain duration.

[0324] In this embodiment, the number of times the second event is detected, indicated by the third counter Q3, can be continuous or discontinuous. Figure 13 The scenario described here is a continuous one, such as when the position of the perceived object is not within the first preset range in two consecutive measurements. In this case, the number of times the second event is detected, as described in the first condition, can be understood as the number of consecutive detections of the second event. That is, if the second event is detected in K consecutive measurements, then the number of times the second event is detected can be determined to be K, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0325] In this continuous implementation, for example, when the position of the perceived object is determined to be within a first preset range, the third counter Q3 can be cleared to achieve the function of the third counter Q3 to count the number of times the second event is detected consecutively.

[0326] The situation where the number of times the second event is detected, as indicated by the third counter, is discontinuous is similar to that described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0327] The following section explains the case where the number of times the second event is detected is less than the second preset number (i.e., Q3 < the second preset number).

[0328] If the number of times the second event is detected is less than the second preset number, it means that the first condition has not been met, and the first device can, for example, send the second measurement report to the second device normally. Alternatively, the first device can also determine whether to send the second measurement report to the second device based on reliability.

[0329] For example, if the first condition is not met, the first device will not stop performing the second measurement, nor will it stop sending subsequent second measurement reports. However, if the first device determines that a second event has been detected, the first device may choose not to send the second measurement report obtained during this measurement process to the second device.

[0330] Since detecting the second event means that the second measurement report obtained in this measurement is unreliable, even if the first condition is not met, the first device can still choose not to send the second measurement report obtained in this measurement process to the second device. This does not affect whether the second measurement report is sent in the future, but this can cancel the unreliable second measurement report sent to the second device once, so as to save sensing energy consumption and network resources.

[0331] In one possible implementation, the first condition in this embodiment may further include detecting a first event (i.e., the first target measurement result is less than or equal to a first preset threshold X1). That is, if the number of times both the first event and the second event are detected is greater than or equal to a second preset number, the first condition can be considered satisfied. This allows for the comprehensive analysis of the measurement results from the first and second measurement reports to determine whether to send the second measurement report, thereby improving the reliability of the determination of whether to send the first and second measurement reports.

[0332] The second condition in the current implementation is similar to that described in Case 1 and Case 2 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0333] In this solution, by determining whether a second event indicating unreliability has occurred and simultaneously counting these events, a decision is made only when the number of occurrences of a second event exceeds a certain threshold. This effectively improves the reliability and accuracy of the decision. In other words, sending the second measurement report is only stopped when absolutely necessary, thus preserving reliable measurement results and minimizing the possibility of reliable second measurement results failing to be sent to the second device.

[0334] Option 5: Set two thresholds for the measurement results of the first target, namely the first preset threshold X1 and the second preset threshold X2, wherein the first preset threshold X1 is less than the second preset threshold X2.

[0335] The first and second conditions then become as follows:

[0336] When the measurement result of the first target is less than or equal to the first preset threshold (e.g., RSRP≤X1), the quality of the sensing signal is considered poor. Therefore, the decision to stop reporting the measurement report can be made solely based on the quality of the sensing signal. For example, the first condition can be implemented as described in Scheme 1 or Scheme 2 above, and the second condition can be implemented as described in Scheme 1 or Scheme 2 above. Further details will not be elaborated here.

[0337] When the measurement result of the first target is greater than the first preset threshold and less than the second preset threshold (e.g., X1 < RSRP < X2), the quality of the sensing signal can be considered acceptable. Therefore, the reliability can be used to determine whether to stop reporting the measurement report. For example, the first condition can be implemented as described in Scheme 3 or Scheme 4 above, and the second condition can be implemented as described in Scheme 3 or Scheme 4 above. Further details will not be provided here.

[0338] For example, when the measurement result of the first target is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold (e.g., X2≤RSRP), it can be considered that the quality of the sensing signal is good, so the first measurement report and the second measurement report can be reported normally.

[0339] Optionally, the first preset threshold X1 introduced in this embodiment and the first preset threshold X1 introduced in the above embodiments may be equal or unequal, and the specific preset threshold may be arbitrarily set according to actual needs.

[0340] This scheme sets two thresholds. When the measurement result of the first target is poor, it determines whether to stop reporting the measurement report based solely on the quality of the sensed signal, thereby improving the speed of the decision to report the measurement result and reducing latency. When the measurement result of the first target is acceptable, it determines whether to stop reporting the measurement report based on the reliability of the measurement result, thus preserving as many reliable measurement results as possible.

[0341] The above-described schemes one through five illustrate various possible implementations of the first and second conditions. The first and second conditions described above can be preset by the protocol, or they can be configured by the second device to the first device via control signaling. Similarly, the various thresholds and limits described above can also be preset by the protocol, or they can be configured by the second device to the first device via control signaling; this application does not limit their implementation. The control signaling can be RRC signaling, MAC-CE signaling, or DCI signaling, or any combination of these signaling methods described herein.

[0342] The above embodiments describe the implementation of the first device determining whether to send a second measurement report. The following, in conjunction with specific embodiments, describes the implementation of the first device sending relevant reference information to the second device through the first information, and the second device determining whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report.

[0343] The following is combined Figures 14 to 19 The second implementation, in which the second device determines whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report, will also be introduced.

Figure 8 , Figure 16 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 9 , Figure 17 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 10 , Figure 18 This application provides an example of how to send a measurement report. Figure 10 one, Figure 19 This is a timing diagram of the measurement report provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0344] like Figure 14 As shown, the method includes:

[0345] S1401, The first device performs a first measurement on the sensed signal and obtains a first measurement report.

[0346] S1402, The first device sends the first measurement report to the second device.

[0347] S1403. The second device determines whether the first device should send a second measurement report based on the first measurement report.

[0348] The implementations of S1401 to S1403 are similar to those of S401 to S403, and will not be described in detail here.

[0349] In the current embodiment, when the second device determines whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report, the first information may include at least one of the following: a first measurement result, a first notification message, and the uncertainty of the measurement result in the second measurement report.

[0350] Then, the second device can determine, based on the first information, whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report. The various possibilities for the first information described above will be described below.

[0351] In one implementation, when the first information includes the first measurement result, the second device may, for example, determine whether the first condition described above is met based on the first measurement result, thereby determining whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report subsequently.

[0352] In one implementation, when the first information includes first notification information, the first notification information is used to indicate that the first condition has been met. That is, in this implementation, the first device can still perform the judgment of the first condition, but then the first device will inform the second device of the judgment result through the first notification information, and then the second device will decide whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report based on the first notification information.

[0353] For example, the first notification information may also include a reason / error type for not sending the second measurement report, such as: the first condition is met.

[0354] In one implementation, when the first information includes the uncertainty of the measurement results in the second measurement report, the second device may, for example, determine whether the corresponding first condition described above is met based on the first measurement result, thereby determining whether the first device needs to send the second measurement report subsequently.

[0355] In this embodiment, the specific implementation of the first condition is similar to that described in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0356] S1404, The second device sends the first configuration information to the first device.

[0357] After the second device determines whether the first device should send a second measurement report based on the first measurement report, and obtains the determination result, it can send first configuration information to the first device, for example. The first configuration information is used to indicate whether to activate or deactivate the second measurement report.

[0358] For example, if the second device determines, based on the first measurement report, that the first device no longer needs to send the second measurement report, the first configuration information can instruct the activation of the second measurement report.

[0359] For example, if the second device determines that the first device needs to send a second measurement report based on the first measurement report, the first configuration information can instruct the activation of the second measurement report.

[0360] S1405, The second device performs a second measurement on the sensed signal and obtains a first measurement report.

[0361] S1406, if the first configuration information indicates that the second measurement report is to be activated, the first device sends the second measurement report to the second device.

[0362] The implementations of S1405 to S604 are similar to those described in S403 to S404 above, and will not be repeated here. (Refer to...) Figure 14 It can be determined that when the first configuration information indicates that the second measurement report is to be activated, the first device will send the second measurement report to the second device.

[0363] Furthermore, the second device can also determine whether the first device needs to send the first measurement report based on the first measurement report. Accordingly, the second device can send second configuration information to the first device based on the determination result, wherein the second configuration information is used to indicate the activation / deactivation of the first measurement report.

[0364] For example, the second device may determine its status based on at least one of the following: a first measurement result, a second notification message, and the uncertainty of the measurement result in a second measurement report. The second notification message indicates that a second condition has been detected. The implementation of the second device generating the second configuration information is similar to the implementation of generating the first configuration information described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0365] In this embodiment, the second device can decide whether the first device needs to report the first measurement report and / or the second measurement report based on the content contained in the first measurement report. This approach is advantageous because it is simple to implement and requires minimal modification to the protocol. Furthermore, since the second device can obtain more comprehensive information than the first device—for example, it can also obtain relevant information about other UEs or other base stations—having the second device perform the decision-making improves the comprehensiveness of the processing of the first and second measurement reports.

[0366] The following is combined Figure 15 Further explanation is provided regarding the first and second configuration information. For example... Figure 15 As shown, for example, if the first device receives the second configuration information at time t1, where the second configuration information is used to indicate the activation of the first measurement report, then the first device can send the first measurement report A1 at time t2. However, since the second measurement report is not activated at this time, the first device will not send the second measurement report A2.

[0367] Subsequently, for example, if the first device sends the first measurement report B1 at time t3 and receives the first configuration information at time t4 (the first configuration information is used to indicate the activation of the second measurement report), then the first device will send the second measurement report B2 at time t5. Furthermore, the first device will also normally send the first and second measurement reports subsequently, as shown in the figure. The first device can send the first measurement report C1 at time t6 and the second measurement report C2 at time t7.

[0368] In other words, in this embodiment, the first device can determine whether to send a second measurement report and a first measurement report based on the instructions given by the second device through the first configuration information and the second configuration information. For example, the first measurement report can be understood as a prerequisite for the second measurement report. Therefore, if the second configuration information indicates activation of the first measurement report, the second measurement report will be activated by default even if the second device does not send the first configuration information. Similarly, if the first configuration information indicates activation of the second measurement report, the first measurement report will be activated by default even if the second device does not send the second configuration information.

[0369] It is also understood that the deactivation of the second measurement report described in this embodiment can mean that the first device still performs the second measurement normally, but does not report the second measurement report. This can effectively save energy consumption and network resources for transmitting the measurement report. Alternatively, the first device can be instructed to directly stop performing the second measurement. In this case, the first device will not generate or send the second measurement report. This can save energy consumption and network resources for transmitting the measurement report, and also allow for the calculation of energy consumption and network resources for performing the second measurement.

[0370] Furthermore, the implementation of the first configuration information indicating activation / deactivation of the second measurement report, and the implementation of the second configuration information indicating activation / deactivation of the first measurement report, can have multiple possibilities. The following example uses the first configuration information indicating deactivation of the second measurement report, combined with... Figures 16 to 18 The descriptions are provided separately, and it is understood that the remaining indications of the first and second configuration information are similar.

[0371] In one implementation, the first configuration information can instruct the deactivation of second measurement reports after a first time point, where the first time point is the moment the first configuration information is received. That is, from the moment the first configuration information is received, all subsequent second measurement reports are deactivated. In other words, from the first time point onwards, all subsequent second measurement reports are stopped from being sent.

[0372] like Figure 16 As shown, for example, if the first device sends a first measurement report A1 at time t1, and then receives first configuration information at time t2 indicating to activate a second measurement report, then the first device will stop sending second measurement reports after time t2. For example, in... Figure 16 In this process, the second measurement report A2, the second measurement report B2, and the second measurement report C2 are not sent.

[0373] In another implementation, the first configuration information can instruct that, starting with the first first measurement report after the first moment, subsequent second measurement reports are deactivated. That is, second measurement reports following the next first measurement report after the received first configuration information are not sent, but second measurement reports corresponding to currently sent first measurement reports are still sent. In other words, from the first moment onwards, all second measurement reports following the next first measurement report are stopped.

[0374] like Figure 17As shown, for example, if the first device sends a first measurement report A1 at time t1, and then receives first configuration information at time t2 indicating to activate a second measurement report, the first device will still send a second measurement report A2. However, starting from the next first measurement report B1, all subsequent second measurement reports will stop being sent. For example, in... Figure 17 In this process, neither the second measurement report B2 nor the second measurement report C2 are sent.

[0375] In another implementation, the first configuration information can instruct that, starting with the nth first measurement report after the first time step, subsequent second measurement reports be deactivated, where n is an integer greater than 1. That is, no second measurement reports are sent after the nth first measurement report received from the first configuration information. In other words, all second measurement reports after the nth first measurement report are stopped from being sent starting from the first time step.

[0376] like Figure 18 As shown, for example, the first device sends a first measurement report A1 at time t1, and then receives first configuration information at time t2 to indicate the activation of a second measurement report. Assuming n is 2, the first device will stop sending all subsequent second measurement reports starting from the second first measurement report after time t2. For example, in... Figure 18 In the first measurement report, which is the second measurement report C1 after time t2, the first device will send the second measurement report A2 and the second measurement report B2 normally. Starting from the second measurement report C2, the device will not send the second measurement report C2 and the subsequent second measurement report D2.

[0377] In this implementation, by instructing the first device to send the second measurement report n more times and then stop reporting the second measurement report, a certain amount of time is provided for the second device to reselect a sensing node, thus ensuring the continuity of sensing services.

[0378] In this embodiment, the second device may also send third configuration information to the first device, the third configuration information indicating at least one of the following: a first period for sending the first measurement report, a second period for sending the second measurement report, and a first offset of the second measurement report relative to the first measurement report. Exemplarily, the first period and the second period may be the same.

[0379] exist Figure 19 The diagram illustrates the implementation of the first offset, the first period, and the second period. Subsequently, when the first device sends the first measurement report and the second measurement report, it will send them according to the period and offset indicated by the third configuration information.

[0380] In this embodiment, the second device may also send fourth configuration information to the first device, which indicates whether to send the first measurement report and the second measurement report separately. That is, the fourth configuration information indicates whether the measurement report obtained after sensing measurement needs to be sent in two parts. Based on the fourth configuration information indicating that the first and second measurement reports should be sent separately, the scheme described in the above embodiments can be executed.

[0381] Furthermore, it is understandable that the implementation described above, where the first device independently determines whether to send a second measurement report, and the second device decides whether the first device needs to send a second measurement report, can be combined. For example, in the first device, the first device makes its own determination and sends first instruction information to the second device through the first measurement report. Simultaneously, the second device will also make a decision based on the implementation described above. Subsequently, the second device can also send first configuration information to the first device. In the event of a conflict between the decisions of the first and second devices, for example, the first configuration information of the second device can be followed to perform relevant processing. The processing related to the first measurement report is similar and will not be elaborated here.
