Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a communication method, communication device, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] In L1 / L2 triggered mobility (LTM), L1 measurements use a common Channel State Information (CSI) resource configuration. This means that when the terminal moves / handovers to different candidate cells, it uses the same set of Reference Signal (RS) resources for L1 measurements. After receiving the Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration, the terminal begins performing L1 measurements on all configured RS resources.

[0003] Currently, L1 measurement suffers from significant resource overhead. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a communication method, communication device, storage medium, and program product, which can solve the technical problem of high resource consumption in related technologies.

[0005] On the one hand, a communication method is provided, applied to the first node, the method including:

[0006] Receive configuration messages from the second node; the configuration messages are used to configure the first measurement configuration and the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions;

[0007] Activate / deactivate the first measurement configuration based on the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration.

[0008] On the other hand, a communication device is provided, which includes a receiving module and a processing module.

[0009] The receiving module is used to receive configuration messages from the second node; the configuration messages are used to configure the first measurement configuration and the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration.

[0010] The processing module is used to activate / deactivate the first measurement configuration based on the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration.

[0011] On the other hand, a communication method is provided for application to a second node, the method including:

[0012] Send a configuration message to the first node; the configuration message is used to configure the first measurement configuration and the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions.

[0013] In another aspect, a communication device is provided, comprising: a transmitting module;

[0014] The sending module is used to send configuration messages to the first node; the configuration messages are used to configure the first measurement configuration and the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions.

[0015] In another aspect, a communication device is provided, comprising: a memory and a processor; the memory and the processor are coupled; the memory is used to store a computer program; and the processor, when executing the computer program, implements the method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0016] In another aspect, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which computer program instructions are stored, which, when executed by a processor, implement the method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0017] In another aspect, a computer program product is provided, the computer program product including computer program instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0018] This disclosure provides a communication method that activates / deactivates the first measurement configuration based on activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration. This means the first node can autonomously activate / deactivate the first measurement configuration, enabling the first node to perform measurements based only on a portion of the first measurement configuration. Compared to performing measurement reporting using the entire first measurement configuration, this method allows for demand-based measurement execution, reducing unnecessary measurement overhead. Furthermore, by completing the first measurement configuration all at once through a configuration message, it avoids sending or updating the measurement configuration every time a cell handover occurs or a measurement is required, thus reducing the signaling / resource overhead required for configuration.

[0034] The following describes the concepts that may be involved in this disclosure:

[0035] I. Mobility triggered by L1 / L2.

[0036] To reduce handover interruption latency and signaling overhead, 5G NR introduces LTM (Leadership Time Management). Unlike traditional L3 handover (triggered via RRC signaling), LTM is a process where the base station triggers cell handover via a MAC CE-based cell handover command. The cell handover command instructs the base station to pre-configure LTM candidate cells via RRC signaling, and the UE switches to the corresponding target cell according to the handover command. The LTM process includes the following key characteristics:

[0037] 1. Pre-configuration of LTM candidate cells:

[0038] To achieve fast cell handover, the network can pre-configure multiple LTM candidate cell configurations. To reduce signaling overhead, these configurations can also be issued based on a reference configuration. During LTM execution, the network can notify the UE to apply a pre-configured LTM candidate configuration by sending an L2-layer LTM cell handover MAC CE.

[0039] 2. L1 Measurement and Reporting:

[0040] Traditional L3 (RRC) based handover is typically triggered by L3 measurement reports; however, for LTM, the UE can be configured to perform L1 measurements on the serving cell and neighboring cells, and can report L1 measurement results periodically, semi-persistently, or aperiodically, or report them when specific events are met. For event-based L1 measurement reporting, the UE sends the L1 measurement report to the network via MAC CE.

[0041] 3. Early Downlink Synchronization:

[0042] To reduce latency, the network can configure and activate the TCI (Transmission Configuration Indicator) state for candidate cells before LTM execution, enabling the UE to maintain downlink synchronization with these candidate cells. Furthermore, the network can include the TCI state in the LTM cell handover MAC CE to indicate the active beam of the target cell during LTM execution.

[0043] 4. Early UL Synchronization:

[0044] Also aimed at reducing latency, LTM supports handover without a random access procedure (RACH). This allows the UE to complete uplink synchronization ahead of time without performing the standard RACH procedure. To this end, LTM introduces a PDCCH command-triggered RACH mechanism, whereby the network instructs the UE to obtain the target candidate cell's timing advance (TA) via a PDCCH command. Furthermore, the network can configure the UE to enable the "UE-based TA measurement" function, allowing UEs supporting this function to calculate and obtain the target candidate cell's TA before LTM execution.

[0045] From the network's perspective, the network can trigger early downlink / uplink synchronization and / or LTM cell handover based on the received L1 measurement reports.

[0046] II. Event-triggered L1 measurement report.

[0047] For L1 measurement reporting, the network can send the L1 measurement configuration to the UE. This configuration includes reference signal (RS) resources (e.g., SSB or CSI-RS) and related L1 reporting configuration. In the reporting configuration, the network can indicate the reporting type, including periodic reporting, aperiodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, or event-triggered reporting. For event-triggered reporting, the network can further indicate the event type (e.g., LTM2, LTM3, LTM4, LTM5, LTM6, etc.) and the corresponding event-related parameters (e.g., threshold value, TimeToTrigger, etc.).

[0048] Upon receiving the L1 measurement configuration, the UE will begin performing L1 measurements according to the configuration and conduct event evaluation based on the measurement results. In event evaluation, events are typically defined as "entry conditions" and "exit conditions". For example, for an LTM3 event, its entry and exit conditions are defined as follows: (where Mn represents the measurement value of the target cell or neighboring cell beam, and Ms represents the measurement value of the serving cell beam).

[0049] Inequality LTM3-1 (Entry Condition):

[0050] Mn+Obn–Hys>Ms+Obs+Off.

[0051] Inequality LTM3-2 (Leaving Condition):

[0052] Mn+Obn+Hys <Ms+Obs+Off。

[0053] When the entry condition is met continuously within the TimeToTrigger period, the UE will trigger the transmission of an L1 measurement report. Similarly, if a target beam has already met the entry condition and transmitted a measurement report, and then the exit condition is also met continuously within the TimeToTrigger period, the UE will trigger the transmission of an L1 measurement report again if ReportOnLeave is configured.

[0054] For event-based L1 measurement reporting, the UE needs to evaluate whether a specific event is met to determine whether to trigger a measurement report (MR). Current 5G NR systems support multiple event types, such as:

[0055] LTM2 event: The quality of the current beam in the serving cell is below a certain threshold;

[0056] LTM3 event: The quality of the neighboring cell's beam is one offset higher than the quality of the serving cell's current beam;

[0057] LTM4 event: The quality of the neighboring cell beam exceeds a certain threshold;

[0058] LTM5 event: The quality of the neighboring cell's beam is higher than a certain threshold, while the quality of the serving cell's current beam is lower than another threshold.

[0059] The Measurement Report (MR) may include beam indication (or beam index) and beam-level measurement results (e.g., L1-RSRP, L1-RSRQ, L1-SINR). Since this measurement report is sent via MAC CE, the network can configure the maximum number of beams that can be reported in each measurement report to obtain valuable information from the UE and control the report size. If the configured maximum number of reported beams exceeds the number of beams that meet the event conditions, the UE can also choose to report beams that do not meet the event threshold and their corresponding measurement results; whether to report these beams that do not meet the conditions is configurable by the network.

[0060] In addition, to reduce the message length of the L1 measurement report MAC CE, RSRP differential values ​​can be used for reporting. That is, in the L1 measurement report MAC CE, a certain beam (e.g., the beam with the highest RSRP) reports using the absolute RSRP value, while other beams report their relative offset values ​​based on the first reported beam.

[0061] It should be noted that:

[0062] A "neighbor cell" can be a PCell (primary cell) or PSCell (primary / secondary cell) in a configured candidate configuration, or an SCell (secondary cell) in the same candidate configuration, or a configured or detected neighbor cell.

[0063] "Neighboring cell beam" refers to a beam in a neighboring cell.

[0064] The “serving cell” can be a PCcell or PSCell that is currently being served, or it can be a SCell that is currently being served.

[0065] The “current beam of the serving cell” can be the best beam in the serving cell, the beam indicated by the activated TCI state, or the beam that has a QCL relationship with the beam indicated by the activated TCI state.

[0066] Currently, L1 measurements in L1 / L2 triggered mobility (LTM) use a common CSI resource configuration, meaning that the same set of Reference Signals (RS) resources is used for L1 measurements when the UE moves / handovers to different candidate cells. The UE begins L1 measurements on all configured RS resources after receiving the RRC configuration.

[0067] Currently, L1 measurement suffers from high resource overhead and high power consumption for UE measurement.

[0068] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a communication method that activates / deactivates the first measurement configuration based on activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration. This allows the first node to autonomously activate / deactivate the first measurement configuration, enabling it to perform measurements based on only a portion of the first measurement configuration. Compared to performing measurement reporting using the entire first measurement configuration, this method allows for demand-based measurement execution, reducing unnecessary measurement overhead. Furthermore, by completing the first measurement configuration all at once via a configuration message, instead of executing the configuration separately each time measurement is required, the resource overhead required for configuration is reduced.

[0069] The communication method provided in this disclosure can be applied to systems with various communication standards. For example, the systems to which the communication method provided in this disclosure is applicable include, but are not limited to, long-term evolution (LTE) systems, various versions based on LTE evolution, 5G systems, future mobile communication networks (such as 6G mobile communication networks), or multiple converged communication systems. Furthermore, the communication method provided in this disclosure can also be applied to future-oriented communication systems.

[0070] For example, the above communication method can be applied to, for example, Figure 1 In the aforementioned communication system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the communication system includes: a first node 101 and a second node 102.

[0071] The first node 101 is used to receive configuration messages from the second node 102; the configuration messages are used to configure the first measurement configuration and the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration; or to activate / deactivate the first measurement configuration based on the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration.

[0072] The second node 102 is used to send a configuration message to the first node 101; the configuration message is used to configure the first measurement configuration and the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first node 101 can be a terminal, and the second node 102 can be a base station, a network (NW), or a network-side node.

[0074] It should be noted that the terminal can be an independent terminal device in 5G, 6G, or other systems, or it can be configured with CA (carrier aggregation) and / or DC (dual connectivity). If the terminal is configured with DC (dual connectivity), the term "network" can refer to the primary node (MN node) or the secondary node (SN node). In a centralized unit-distributed unit (CU-DU) separation architecture, "network" can refer to either the centralized unit (CU) or the distributed unit (DU).

[0075] In some embodiments, the terminal can be a device with wireless transceiver capabilities, which can be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, handheld, wearable, or vehicle-mounted; it can also be deployed on water (such as on ships); and it can also be deployed in the air (e.g., on airplanes, balloons, and satellites). The terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, virtual reality (VR) terminal, augmented reality (AR) terminal, wireless terminal in industrial control, wireless terminal in self-driving, wireless terminal in remote medical care, wireless terminal in smart grid, wireless terminal in transportation safety, wireless terminal in smart city, wireless terminal in smart home, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the application scenarios. The term "terminal" can sometimes also refer to a user, user equipment (UE), access terminal, UE unit, UE station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, UE terminal, wireless communication device, UE agent, or UE device, etc., but the embodiments of this application do not limit this to these terms.

[0076] In some embodiments, the base station may be a base station in Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTEA), or an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB), a base station device in a 5G network, or a base station in a future communication system. The base station may include various macro base stations, micro base stations, home base stations, wireless remote extensions, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), routers, wireless fidelity (WIFI) devices, or various network-side devices such as primary cells and secondary cells.

[0077] It should be noted that, Figure 1 This is just an example framework diagram. Figure 1 The number of devices included and the names of each device are unlimited.

[0078] The application scenarios of the embodiments disclosed herein are not limited. The system architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of this disclosure are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0079] The communication method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] The communication method provided in this disclosure can be applied to... Figure 1 The first node 101 in the communication system shown. Figure 2 A flowchart of a communication method is shown, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the communication method includes the following S201-S202:

[0081] S201, Receive configuration messages from the second node.

[0082] The configuration message is used to configure the first measurement configuration and the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions.

[0083] S202. Activate / deactivate the first measurement configuration based on the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration.

[0084] In one possible implementation, activating / deactivating the first measurement configuration includes activating / deactivating all / part of the first measurement configuration.

[0085] In one possible implementation, after activating part or all of the first measurement configuration, corresponding measurement operations can be performed based on the activated configuration, such as receiving measurement signals or reference signals to obtain signal quality and / or channel state information, or reporting measurement results / measurement reports, or sending reference signals such as probe reference signals based on the activated configuration, or performing measurements based on the measurement gaps in the activated configuration.

[0086] It should be noted that, based on the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration, the first measurement configuration can be activated / deactivated independently. This allows the first node to perform measurements based only on a portion of the first measurement configuration, compared to performing measurement reporting based on the entire first measurement configuration. This enables measurement to be performed based on demand, reducing unnecessary measurement overhead. Furthermore, by completing the first measurement configuration in one go through the configuration message, instead of sending or updating the measurement configuration separately each time a cell handover occurs or a measurement needs to be performed, the signaling / resource overhead required during configuration can be reduced.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration corresponds to at least one of the following measurements: L1 measurement, L3 measurement or Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement, Non-Terrestrial Network Measurement (NTN Measurement), Multi-USIM / MUSIM Measurement, Positioning Measurement, Integrated Sensing and Communication Measurement (ISAC Measurement), and Artificial Intelligence Measurement (AI Measurement).

[0088] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following: a first measurement resource configuration, a first measurement reporting configuration, and a first measurement gap configuration. The first measurement resource configuration configures the resources used for measurement, such as measurement resources, reference signal resources, channel state information reference signal resources, etc., for the first node to receive reference signals; or, for example, to transmit a probe reference signal. The first measurement reporting configuration configures the information used to send / report measurement reports, such as reporting type, report content, reporting resources, etc. The first measurement gap configuration configures the gaps or windows required for measurement.

[0089] In some embodiments, the configuration message is further used to configure the initial activation state corresponding to the first measurement configuration; the initial activation state includes an active state or a deactivated state. The initial activation state of the first measurement configuration indicates / includes the initial activation state of each configuration in the first measurement configuration, enabling the first node to perform measurements or report measurement reports based on the initial activation state.

[0090] In some embodiments, the method further includes: sending first information to a second node; the first information indicating the activation / deactivation state of the first measurement configuration. The first information enables the second node to know the activation / deactivation state of the first measurement configuration, allowing the second node to perform corresponding processing, such as adjusting the activation / deactivation state of the first measurement configuration via signaling / messages to meet the needs of the second node.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following: the reference signal type corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration or measurement reporting configuration; the channel state information resource configuration identifier corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration or measurement reporting configuration; the channel state information resource set identifier corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration or measurement reporting configuration; the cell identifier corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration or measurement reporting configuration; the reference signal identifier corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration or measurement reporting configuration; the beam identifier corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration or measurement reporting configuration; the cell type corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration or measurement reporting configuration; the identifier of the activated / deactivated measurement reporting configuration; the type of the activated / deactivated measurement reporting configuration; the type of the reporting event corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement reporting configuration; the identifier of the activated / deactivated measurement gap configuration; the granularity of the activated / deactivated measurement gap configuration; and the type or purpose of the activated / deactivated measurement gap configuration. This means that the activation / deactivation status of the first measurement configuration can be reported efficiently and quickly through the aforementioned dimensions, enabling the second node to know the activation / deactivation status of a certain dimension of the first measurement configuration. For example, by knowing the reference signal type corresponding to the activated / deactivated measurement resource configuration, the second node can know the activation / deactivation status of the measurement resource configuration of that reference signal type.

[0092] In some embodiments, the activation / deactivation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration include at least one of the following: a threshold (or limit value) of the measurement result, time information, the position information of the first node, and the movement speed information of the first node.

[0093] For example, when the activation / deactivation condition includes a threshold for the measurement result, after the first node completes the measurement, it can determine whether to activate or deactivate the configuration corresponding to the threshold in the first measurement configuration based on whether the measurement result meets the threshold. For example, if the measurement result is less than or equal to the threshold, the configuration corresponding to the threshold for the measurement result is activated; if the measurement result is greater than the threshold, the configuration corresponding to the threshold for the measurement result is deactivated. In one possible implementation, there can be multiple thresholds for the measurement result, such as thresholds for measurement results corresponding to different measurement signals (e.g., Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), thresholds for measurement results corresponding to different measurements (e.g., L1 measurement, L3 measurement), and thresholds for different measurement results (e.g., Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)).

[0094] For example, when the activation / deactivation condition includes time information, the first node can determine whether to activate or deactivate the configuration corresponding to that time information based on the time information. For instance, the time information corresponding to a measurement resource configuration might be a preset timer duration. If the timer does not exceed the timer duration, the measurement resource configuration is activated or its activation state is maintained. If the timer exceeds the timer duration, the measurement resource configuration is deactivated or its activation state is changed (e.g., from activated to deactivated, or from deactivated to activated). In one possible implementation, the time information included in the activation / deactivation condition can be a time point and / or a time period (or time length). For example, the first node determines whether to activate or deactivate the configuration corresponding to that time point by comparing it with the current time point. Alternatively, the first node determines whether to activate or deactivate the configuration corresponding to that time period by comparing the time point and the time interval corresponding to that time period with the current time.

[0095] For example, the activation / deactivation condition includes the location information of the first node. The first node can activate / deactivate the configuration in the first measurement configuration corresponding to its location information based on whether its current location is within the range corresponding to its location information. In one possible implementation, the location information may include at least one of the following: geographic location information / regional range information (such as latitude and longitude information), cell, beam, Transmission Reception Point (TRP), Bandwidth Part (BWP), etc. In one possible implementation, the location information may be in the form of a list.

[0096] For example, the activation / deactivation condition includes the movement speed information of the first node. The first node compares its own movement speed with the movement speed information included in the condition, and the configuration corresponds to the movement speed information included in the activation / deactivation condition. In one possible implementation, the movement speed information of the first node in the activation / deactivation condition may include at least one of the following: movement speed range, movement state (e.g., stationary, normal, low speed, medium speed, high speed), and information characterizing the movement speed. The information characterizing the movement speed may be at least one of the following: RSRP change, RSRQ change, and Timing Advance (TA) change.

[0097] In some embodiments, the activation / deactivation condition corresponding to the first measurement resource configuration in the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0098] Activation / deactivation conditions for measurement resource configurations associated with a specific reference signal type;

[0099] Activation / deactivation conditions for the measurement resource configuration associated with the reference signal;

[0100] Activation / deactivation conditions for beam-associated measurement resource configuration;

[0101] Activation / deactivation conditions for measurement resource configurations associated with the cell;

[0102] Activation / deactivation conditions for measurement resource configurations associated with channel state information resource configurations;

[0103] Activation / deactivation conditions for measurement resource configurations associated with a specific cell type.

[0104] The above-mentioned activation / deactivation conditions of different dimensions can efficiently realize the activation / deactivation of configurations of different dimensions. For example, the activation / deactivation conditions of measurement resource configurations associated with a specific reference signal type can be used to activate / deactivate the measurement resource configurations associated with that specific reference signal type.

[0105] In some embodiments, the activation / deactivation condition corresponding to the first measurement resource configuration in the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0106] Activation / deactivation conditions associated with a specific reference signal type are used to control the first node to perform measurements for another specific reference signal type;

[0107] Activation / deactivation conditions associated with the reference signal are used to control the first node to perform measurements on the reference signal / beam / cell associated with the reference signal;

[0108] Beam-associated activation / deactivation conditions are used to control the first node to perform measurements on the reference signal / beam / cell associated with the beam;

[0109] The activation / deactivation conditions associated with the cell are used to control the first node to perform measurements on the reference signal / beam / cell associated with the cell.

[0110] In one possible implementation, the activation / deactivation condition is used to control whether the first node needs to perform the measurement of the first measurement resource configuration corresponding to the activation / deactivation condition, or to control when the first node performs the measurement of the first measurement resource configuration corresponding to the activation / deactivation condition.

[0111] In some embodiments, the activation / deactivation condition corresponding to the first measurement reporting configuration in the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0112] Activation / deactivation conditions for reporting configurations associated with a specific measurement reporting type;

[0113] Activation / deactivation conditions for reporting configurations associated with a specific measurement reporting event type;

[0114] Activation / deactivation conditions for reporting configurations associated with a specific reference signal type;

[0115] Activation / deactivation conditions of the reporting configuration associated with the reference signal;

[0116] Activation / deactivation conditions for the reporting configuration associated with the beam;

[0117] Activation / deactivation conditions for the reporting configuration associated with the cell;

[0118] Activation / deactivation conditions for the reporting configuration associated with channel state information resource configuration;

[0119] Activation / deactivation conditions for reporting configurations associated with a specific cell type;

[0120] Activation / deactivation conditions associated with measurement reporting configuration.

[0121] In some embodiments, the activation / deactivation condition corresponding to the first measurement reporting configuration in the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0122] Activation / deactivation conditions associated with a specific reference signal type are used to control the first node to report measurement results based on another specific reference signal type;

[0123] The activation / deactivation conditions associated with the reference signal are used to control the first node to report the measurement results of the reference signal / beam / cell associated with the reference signal;

[0124] The activation / deactivation conditions associated with the beam are used to control the first node to report the measurement results of the reference signal / beam / cell associated with the beam;

[0125] The activation / deactivation conditions associated with the cell are used to control the first node to report the measurement results of the reference signal / beam / cell associated with the cell;

[0126] Activation / deactivation conditions associated with a specific measurement reporting type are used to control the first node to report measurement results based on the specific measurement reporting type.

[0127] In some embodiments, the activation / deactivation condition corresponding to the first measurement gap configuration in the first measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0128] Activation / deactivation conditions associated with the measurement gap configuration;

[0129] Activation / deactivation conditions of the configuration associated with the measurement gap granularity;

[0130] Activation / deactivation conditions of the configuration associated with the measurement gap type or application.

[0131] In some embodiments, the method further includes: if a first configuration in the first measurement configuration satisfies the activation condition, and the number of activated first measurement configurations of the first node reaches the capacity limit of the first node, deactivating a second configuration in the first measurement configuration and activating the first configuration; the second configuration is the configuration that has been activated in the first measurement configuration. Deactivating the second configuration in the first measurement configuration can release some resources, enabling the first node to activate the first configuration.

[0132] In some embodiments, if a first measurement configuration in a first measurement configuration meets the activation condition and the number of first measurement configurations activated by the first node reaches the capacity limit of the first node, the first configuration is not activated.

[0133] In one possible implementation, the first node may choose to activate the second configuration and activate the first configuration, or choose not to activate the first configuration, depending on the network configuration or its own implementation.

[0226] It should be noted that it is applied to Figure 1The explanation of an embodiment of the communication method of the second node 102 in the communication system shown can be found in the following reference. Figure 1 Explanation of an embodiment of the communication method of the first node 101 in the communication system shown.

[0227] The following are exemplary descriptions provided by embodiments of this disclosure:

[0228] Assuming the first node is a user terminal (UE) and the second node is a base station / network (NW), the first measurement configuration is the measurement configuration corresponding to L1 measurement. The following embodiments are also applicable to other measurements, such as L3 / RRM measurements, non-terrestrial network measurements, multi-user identity module measurements, positioning measurements, sensory measurements, artificial intelligence measurements, etc.

[0229] It should be noted that:

[0230] Currently, NW can indicate to the UE a set of SSB / CSI-RS resources to be measured by configuring LTM CSI resource configurations / resource sets (e.g., LTM-CSI-ResourceConfig). SSB / CSI-RS resources from different candidate cells can be grouped into the same LTM CSI resource configuration.

[0231] L1 measurement reporting configuration is provided through CSI report configuration (e.g., LTM-CSI-Report Config). The CSI report configuration is associated with a CSI resource configuration (via ltm-CSI-Report ConfigId) to indicate the reference signal (RS) resource to which the report configuration applies.

[0232] For L1 measurement reporting, the UE can send L1 measurement reports to the NW via UCI (e.g., periodic, semi-persistent OnPUCCH, semi-persistent OnPUSCH, and aperiodic reporting) or MACCE (e.g., event-triggered reporting). For a specific measurement resource, the NW can configure both UCI-based and MACCE-based reporting simultaneously. If both reporting types are triggered, the NW may receive redundant measurement reports for the same cell / reference signal (RS), resulting in reporting overhead.

[0233] To dynamically update / activate L1 measurements for the UE, there are two options:

[0234] Option 1 (NW Triggering Mechanism): The network (NW) indicates the activation or deactivation of L1 measurements by sending dynamic update / activation signaling.

[0235] Option 2 (UE Triggering Mechanism): When the pre-configured conditions related to L1 measurement are met, the UE decides to activate or deactivate the corresponding L1 measurement, such as condition-based L1 measurement activation / deactivation.

[0236] The L1 measurement mentioned above can be an L1 measurement resource (or L1 measurement resource configuration), an L1 measurement report (or L1 measurement report configuration), and / or an L1 measurement gap (or L1 measurement gap configuration).

[0237] For a specific L1 measurement resource (such as RS resource):

[0238] If activated: the UE needs to measure the L1 measurement resource and / or report the corresponding L1 measurement results; or, the UE starts / restarts measuring the L1 measurement resource and / or reports the corresponding L1 measurement results.

[0239] If deactivated: the UE does not need to measure the L1 measurement resource and / or report the corresponding L1 measurement results; or, the UE stops measuring the L1 measurement resource and / or stops reporting the corresponding L1 measurement results.

[0240] For a specific L1 measurement report:

[0241] If activated: The UE can configure L1 measurement reporting according to the measurement report; or, the UE starts / re-reports L1 measurements.

[0242] If deactivated: the UE can ignore the measurement report configuration, such as not reporting L1 measurements; or, the UE can stop reporting L1 measurements.

[0243] For a specific L1 measurement gap:

[0244] If activated: The UE uses this measurement gap to perform L1 measurements;

[0245] If deactivated: the UE ignores the measurement gap; or, the UE cannot use the measurement gap for L1 measurement.

[0246] For example, such as Figure 4 The diagram shown is a flowchart of another communication method provided in this embodiment of the disclosure, illustrating the flow of the NW triggering mechanism, including:

[0247] Step 1. NW sends L1 measurement configuration to UE.

[0248] This can be achieved through SI or RRC signaling (such as RRC reconfiguration messages). L1 measurement configuration includes measurement resource configuration (SSB or CSI-RS resource configuration), reporting configuration, and / or measurement gap configuration. L1 measurement configuration may also include the initial activation state of L1 measurements, such as the initial activation state of the measurement resource configuration (e.g., SSB or CSI-RS resource configuration), the initial activation state of the reporting configuration, and / or the initial activation state of the measurement gap configuration.

[0249] Step 2. The UE replies to the NW with a configuration complete message.

[0250] Such as the RRC reconfiguration complete message.

[0251] Step 3. NW sends L1 measurement update / activation signaling to UE.

[0252] L1 measurement update / activation signaling can be sent via RRC signaling (such as RRC reconfiguration messages or new RRC messages), MAC CE or lower layer control element (such as L1 measurement activation / deactivation MAC CE, LTM cell handover command MAC CE), or DCI.

[0253] In some embodiments, the handover command (such as an RRC reconfiguration message or an LTM cell handover command MACCE) may simultaneously indicate the activation / deactivation of L1 measurements (i.e., include the information indicated in the dynamic update / activation signaling below), that is, indicate the L1 measurement configuration that the UE needs to activate / deactivate after handover to the target cell. After receiving the handover command, the UE will perform a handover to the indicated target cell and activate / deactivate the indicated L1 measurement configuration.

[0254] In some embodiments, the handover command and dynamic update / activation signaling can be sent through two separate signaling messages. For example, the NW sends a handover command to instruct the UE to hand over to the target cell. After the UE handover is completed, the NW can instruct the UE to activate / deactivate the L1 measurement configuration by sending dynamic update / activation signaling.

[0255] Step 4. According to the NW's instructions, the UE activates / deactivates the corresponding L1 measurement.

[0256] Such as measurement resources, measurement reporting, and / or measurement gaps.

[0257] Optionally, step 5. Send the measurement report.

[0258] Specifically, for activated L1 measurement resources, the UE will report measurements according to the NW configuration, i.e., send a measurement report to the NW. For event-triggered measurement reports, the UE will evaluate the event based on the measurement results and trigger a measurement report when the event is met.

[0259] For example, such as Figure 5 The diagram shown is a flowchart of another communication method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, illustrating the flow of the UE triggering mechanism, including:

[0260] Step 1. The NW sends the L1 measurement configuration and the associated activation / deactivation conditions to the UE.

[0261] For example, via RRC reconfiguration messages. L1 measurement configuration includes measurement resource configuration (SSB or CSI-RS resource configuration), reporting configuration, and / or measurement gap configuration. L1 measurement configuration may also include the initial activation state of L1 measurements, such as the initial activation state of the measurement resource configuration (e.g., SSB or CSI-RS resource configuration), the initial activation state of the reporting configuration, and / or the initial activation state of the measurement gap configuration.

[0262] Step 2. The UE replies to the NW with a configuration complete message.

[0263] Such as the RRC reconfiguration complete message.

[0264] Step 3a. UE evaluates the activation / deactivation conditions associated with L1 measurement.

[0265] L1 measurements include measurement resources, measurement reporting, and / or measurement gaps.

[0266] Step 3b. When the conditions are met, the UE decides to activate or deactivate the corresponding L1 measurement.

[0267] Optionally, in step 4, the UE may send an L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification message to the NW.

[0268] The L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification message is used to report the activation / deactivation status of L1 measurements. The L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification message can be sent via RRC signaling (such as UE Assistive Information Message UAI, RRC reconfiguration complete message, or a new RRC message), MACCE or lower layer control element, or UCI.

[0269] Optionally, step 5. Report the measurement.

[0270] Specifically, for activated L1 measurement resources, the UE will report measurements according to the NW configuration, i.e., send a measurement report to the NW. For event-triggered measurement reports, the UE will evaluate the event based on the measurement results and trigger a measurement report when the event is met.

[0271] Example 1: Condition-based L1 measurement update / activation.

[0272] The following description uses "L1 measurement" as an example. The measurement can be an L1 measurement or an L3 measurement. For example, control of L1 measurement based on the activation conditions of L1 measurement (such as activation, deactivation); control of L3 measurement based on the activation conditions of L1 measurement; control of L1 measurement based on the activation conditions of L3 measurement; or control of L3 measurement based on the activation conditions of L3 measurement.

[0273] The “activation conditions” in the example include activation conditions and / or deactivation conditions.

[0274] I. Activation / Deactivation Conditions for Measurement

[0275] Activation / deactivation conditions / threshold configurations can be provided by NW via SI, dedicated RRC signaling (e.g., RRCReconfiguration messages), MAC CE, or DCI.

[0276] The activation / deactivation conditions described below may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

[0277] Threshold values ​​for measurement results, such as:

[0278] L1 RSRP, L1 RSRQ, or L1 SINR threshold / limit value based on SSB;

[0279] L1 RSRP, L1 RSRQ, or L1 SINR threshold / limit value based on CSI-RS;

[0280] L3 RSRP, L3 RSRQ, or L3 SINR thresholds / limits based on SSB;

[0281] L3 RSRP, L3 RSRQ, or L3 SINR thresholds / limits based on CSI-RS;

[0282] Measurement events, such as events based on L1 measurement (e.g., events LTM1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6) or events based on L3 measurement (e.g., events A1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6, events B1 / 2);

[0283] Time information, such as absolute time information (e.g., time length based on initial UTC time 00:00:00) or timer duration indication;

[0284] UE location information, such as geographical location / regional range information (e.g., latitude and longitude information) or cell / beam / TRP / BWP list, etc.;

[0285] UE moving speed, such as the UE's moving speed range (e.g., less than 60 km / h), the UE's moving state (e.g., stationary / normal / low speed, medium speed, or high speed), or information that can be used to characterize the moving speed (e.g., RSRP / RSRQ changes, TA changes, etc.).

[0286] II. Updating / activating L1 measurement resources.

[0287] For UE-triggered L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation, the following methods can be considered:

[0288] Option 1: NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for current serving cell (e.g., SpCell) measurements for specific RS types to control when or whether the UE needs to perform L1 measurements (such as RS measurements of the same type) on non-serving / candidate / neighboring cells.

[0289] For example, if the L1 measurement result of the current serving cell beam is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE deactivates or activates the L1 measurement of the same type of beam of the candidate cell.

[0290] Option 2: The NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for measurements of a specific RS type (e.g., SSB) to control when or whether the UE needs to perform L1 measurements for other RS ​​types (e.g., CSI-RS). Optionally, when the UE activates or deactivates L1 measurements for other RS ​​types (e.g., CSI-RS), the UE can also deactivate or activate L1 measurements for this RS type (e.g., SSB). Activation conditions can be provided in the following ways:

[0291] Alt.1: Cell level, for example, activation conditions associated with the cell (e.g., indicated by a cell identifier, such as LTM-CandidateId). For example, if the cell's L1 measurement is better or worse than the activation condition based on a specific beam of the SSB (e.g., a beam configured / indicated by the NW, the currently serving beam, or the beam associated with the currently active TCI-state, or the beam with the best signal quality in the cell), then the UE activates or deactivates all or some beams of the cell (which may be one or more beams configured by the NW and associated with the activation condition) based on CSI-RS for L1 measurement. The cell can be a serving cell, a non-serving cell, a neighboring cell, or a candidate cell.

[0292] Alt.2: Beam / RS level, for example, activation conditions are associated with a beam (e.g., indicated by a beam / RS identifier, such as cell ID + beam / RS ID or SSBRI / CRI). For example, if a beam's L1 measurement based on SSB is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates the L1 measurement based on CSI-RS for that beam.

[0293] Alt.3: CSI resource configuration level, for example, activation conditions are associated with CSI resource configurations (e.g., indicated by a CSI resource configuration identifier, such as ltm-CSI-ResourceConfigId). For example, if the SSB-based L1 measurement result of a specific beam or any beam in the CSI resource configuration is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates CSI-RS-based L1 measurements of all or a subset of beams (which may be one or more beams configured by the NW and associated with the activation condition) included in the CSI resource configuration.

[0294] Option 3: NW provides / pre-configures RS / beam-level measurement activation conditions / thresholds to control when / whether the UE needs to perform L1 measurements on one or more associated RS / beams (such as a group of RS / beams) (e.g., L1 measurements of the same RS type as the measurement activation conditions for that beam).

[0295] For example, if the L1 measurement result of a specific beam or any beam in a group of beams is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE deactivates or activates the L1 measurement of other beams in that beam group.

[0296] For example, if the L1 measurement result of a specific beam or any beam of a candidate SpCell is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates the L1 measurement of the candidate SCell beam associated with that candidate SpCell.

[0297] Option 4: NW provides / pre-configures cell-level measurement activation conditions / thresholds to control when / whether the UE needs to perform L1 measurements on one or more associated cells (such as a group of cells).

[0298] For example, if the L1 measurement result of any cell in a specific cell or a group of cells is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE deactivates or activates the L1 measurement of other cells in that cell group.

[0299] For example, if the L1 measurement result of a candidate SpCell is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates the L1 measurement of the candidate SCell associated with that candidate SpCell.

[0300] The L1 measurement results of the above-mentioned cell can be the L1 measurement results of a specific beam in the cell or the combination of L1 measurement results of multiple beams (such as the average of L1 measurement results of multiple beams).

[0301] Any combination of the above options can also be considered.

[0302] In the example, "specific beam" can be a beam configured / indicated by the NW, the currently serving beam, the beam associated with the currently active TCI-state, or the beam with the best signal quality in a set of beams (such as a set of beams contained / associated in the cell or CSI resource configuration).

[0303] In the example, "specific cell" can be a cell configured / indicated by the NW, the currently serving cell (such as SpCell), the currently active cell, a candidate cell, or the cell with the best signal quality in a group of cells.

[0304] III. Updating / activating L1 measurement reports.

[0305] For UE-triggered L1 measurement report activation / deactivation, the following methods can be considered:

[0306] Option 1: NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for current serving cell (e.g., SpCell) measurements for specific RS types to control when or whether the UE needs to report / report L1 measurement results of non-serving / candidate / neighboring cells (such as RS measurements of the same type).

[0307] For example, if the L1 measurement result of the current serving cell beam is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE deactivates or activates the L1 measurement report of the same type of beam of the candidate cell.

[0308] Option 2: NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for specific RS types (e.g., SSB) measurements to control when or whether the UE needs to report L1 measurement results based on other RS ​​types (e.g., CSI-RS). Activation conditions can be provided in the following ways:

[0309] Alt.1: Cell level, for example, activation conditions are associated with the cell (e.g., indicated by a cell identifier, such as LTM-CandidateId). For example, if the L1 measurement of a specific beam in the cell based on the SSB (e.g., a beam configured in the NW, the currently serving beam, or the beam associated with the currently active TCI-state, or the beam with the best signal quality in the cell), or if the L1 measurement of any beam in the cell is better or worse than the activation condition, then the UE activates or deactivates the CSI-RS-based L1 measurement reporting of all or some beams in the cell (these beams may be one or more beams configured in the NW and associated with the activation condition). For example, if the SSB-based measurement result of a beam in a cell is higher than the activation condition, then the UE may report or begin reporting the CSI-RS-based L1 measurement result of the beam in that cell. The cell may be a serving cell, a non-serving cell, a neighboring cell, or a candidate cell.

[0310] Alt.2: Beam / RS level, for example, activation conditions are associated with a beam (e.g., indicated by a beam / RS identifier, such as cell ID + beam / RS ID or SSBRI / CRI). For example, if the L1 measurement result based on SSB for a certain beam is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates L1 measurement reporting based on CSI-RS for that beam. For example, if the SSB-based measurement result for a certain beam is higher than the activation condition, the UE can report or begin reporting L1 measurement results based on CSI-RS for that beam.

[0311] Alt.3: CSI resource configuration level, for example, activation conditions are associated with CSI resource configurations (e.g., indicated by a CSI resource configuration identifier, such as ltm-CSI-ResourceConfigId). For example, if the SSB-based L1 measurement result of a specific beam or any beam in the CSI resource configuration is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates CSI-RS-based L1 measurements of all or a subset of beams (which may be one or more beams configured by the NW and associated with the activation condition) included in the CSI resource configuration.

[0312] Option 3: NW provides / pre-configures RS / beam-level measurement activation conditions / thresholds to control when / whether the UE needs to report L1 measurements for one or more associated RS / beams (such as a group of RS / beams) (e.g., L1 measurements of the same RS type as the measurement activation conditions for that beam).

[0313] For example, if the L1 measurement result of a specific beam or any beam in a group of beams is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE deactivates or activates the L1 measurement reporting of other beams in that beam group.

[0314] For example, if the L1 measurement result of a specific beam or any beam of a candidate SpCell is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates the L1 measurement reporting of the candidate SCell beam associated with that candidate SpCell.

[0315] Option 4: NW provides / pre-configures cell-level measurement activation conditions / thresholds to control when / whether the UE needs to perform L1 measurement reporting for one or more associated cells (such as a group of cells).

[0316] For example, if the L1 measurement result of any cell in a specific cell or a group of cells is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE deactivates or activates the L1 measurement reporting of other cells in that cell group.

[0317] For example, if the L1 measurement result of a candidate SpCell is better or worse than the activation condition, the UE activates or deactivates the L1 measurement reporting of the candidate SCell associated with that candidate SpCell.

[0318] The L1 measurement results of the above-mentioned cell can be the L1 measurement results of a specific beam in the cell or the combination of L1 measurement results of multiple beams (such as the average of L1 measurement results of multiple beams).

[0319] Option 5: The NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for specific reporting types (e.g., UCI-based reporting, MAC CE-based reporting, or RRC signaling-based reporting) to control when or whether the UE can report L1 measurement results through that reporting type. For example: an activation condition for UCI-based reporting controls when / whether the UE can trigger a UCI-based measurement report (i.e., report measurement results via UCI). An activation condition for MAC CE-based reporting controls when / whether the UE can trigger a MAC CE-based measurement report (i.e., report measurement results via MAC CE). An activation condition for RRC-based reporting controls when / whether the UE can trigger an RRC-based measurement report (i.e., report measurement results via RRC signaling).

[0320] Any combination of the above options can also be considered. For example:

[0321] For options 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 above, an activation condition can be provided for all types of measurement reports (if configured), or separate conditions can be provided for different reporting types of measurement reports (e.g., options 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 + option 5). For example, for a given cell, threshold_1 controls whether L1 measurement reporting is allowed via UCI, and threshold_2 controls whether L1 measurement reporting is allowed via MAC CE.

[0322] IV. Update / Activation of L1 Measurement Gap

[0323] For UE-triggered L1 measurement gap activation / deactivation, the following methods can be considered:

[0324] Option 1: NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for a specific measurement gap configuration to control when or whether the UE can perform L1 measurements with that measurement gap. For example, configuring activation conditions to associate with the identifier / index of the measurement gap configuration.

[0325] Option 2: NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for specific measurement gap granularity to control when or whether the UE can perform L1 measurements with that measurement gap granularity. The granularity of the measurement gap can include one or more of the following: UE-level, frequency range-level (e.g., based on FR1, FR2, FR3), frequency band group-level, cell group-level, cell-level, carrier group-level, carrier-level, BWP group-level, and BWP-level.

[0326] Option 3: NW provides / pre-configures activation conditions for specific measurement gap types / purposes to control when or whether the UE can perform L1 measurements using measurement gaps of that measurement type / purpose. Measurement gap types / purposes can include one or more of the following: L1 measurement, L3 / RRM measurement, NTN measurement, MUSIM measurement, positioning measurement, sensing measurement, AI measurement, etc.

[0327] V. Activation / Deactivation Limitations of L1 Measurement

[0328] For the above condition-based L1 measurement update / activation, the UE needs to ensure that the number of L1 measurements activated at the same time does not exceed the UE's capability limit.

[0329] Taking L1 measurement resources as an example, if the number of activated L1 measurement resources has reached the maximum number of L1 measurement resources supported by the UE, when the activation condition of a new L1 measurement resource (i.e., an L1 measurement resource that has not been activated or is in a deactivated state) is met, the UE can consider the following processing method:

[0330] Option 1: The UE will deactivate one of the previously activated L1 measurement resources, such as the earliest activated L1 measurement resource or the L1 measurement resource with the worst current signal quality.

[0331] Option 2: The UE does not activate the L1 measurement resources corresponding to this activation condition;

[0332] Option 3: It depends on the UE implementation. For example, the UE may choose to activate an active L1 measurement resource, or the UE may not activate the L1 measurement resource corresponding to the activation condition.

[0333] Option 4: Execute Option 1 or Option 2 according to the NW configuration / instruction. For example, if the NW configuration allows Option 1, then the UE will execute Option 1.

[0334] Example 2: L1 Measurement Update / Activation / Deactivation Notification

[0335] For the UE triggering mechanism, based on step 4 above, when / after the UE activates or deactivates L1 measurement, the UE can send an L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification message to the NW to report the activation / deactivation status of L1 measurement (such as activation status). The activation status of L1 measurement includes the activation status of measurement resources (SSB or CSI-RS resource configuration), the activation status of measurement reporting, and / or the activation status of measurement gaps.

[0336] L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification messages can be sent via RRC signaling (such as UE Assistive Information Message UAI, RRC reconfiguration complete message, or new RRC message), MAC CE or lower layer control element, or UCI.

[0337] L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification messages may contain one or more of the following:

[0338] Indicators that enable / activate or stop / deactivate L1 measurements, such as indicators for the activation status of L1 measurement resources, L1 measurement reports, or L1 measurement gaps.

[0339] RS type, such as SSB or CSI-RS.

[0340] CSI resource configuration / resource set identifier / index, such as LTM-CSI-ResourceConfigId.

[0341] Cell identifier / index, such as LTM candidate configuration identifier / index (e.g., LTM-CandidateId), PCI, PCI+frequency.

[0342] RS / beam identifier / index, such as cell identifier (e.g., LTM candidate configuration identifier / index) + SSB / CSI-RS identifier / index, or SSB resource identifier (SSBRI) / CSI-RS resource identifier (CRI).

[0343] Cell identity / type, such as candidate SpCell, PCell, PSCell, or SCell.

[0344] L1 measurement reporting configuration identifier / index, such as LTM-CSI-ReportConfigId.

[0345] Types of measurement reports.

[0346] Measure the type of events reported.

[0347] Measurement gap configuration identifier / index.

[0348] The particle size of the measurement gap.

[0349] Types / purposes of measuring gaps.

[0350] In some embodiments, the NW can also configure / indicate whether the UE is allowed to send L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification messages. For example, an indicator is included in the RRC signaling (such as an RRC reconfiguration message) to indicate whether the UE is allowed to send L1 measurement activation / deactivation notification messages for conditional L1 measurement activation / deactivation.

[0351] Example 3: Other auxiliary information used for dynamic activation / updating.

[0352] To support more flexible and dynamic measurement activation / deactivation and configuration updates in subsequent version evolutions (such as 6G), the NW or UE can provide more auxiliary information for the dynamic updating / activation of measurement configurations (such as measurement resource configuration, reporting configuration, and / or measurement gap configuration). This example applies to, but is not limited to, NW-triggered L1 measurement activation / deactivation, UE-triggered, or condition-based L1 measurement activation / deactivation.

[0353] 1. Dynamically update / activation validity information.

[0354] For NW-triggered mechanisms, NW can configure / indicate the validity information of L1 measurement configuration activation / deactivation through dynamic update / activation signaling (such as RRC signaling, MAC CE, DCI). For example, the NW dynamic update / activation signaling indicates the activated L1 measurement resources (e.g., indicated by beam / RS / cell identifier) ​​and simultaneously indicates / includes their corresponding validity information.

[0355] For UE-triggered mechanisms, NW can configure associated validity information for activation / deactivation conditions. For example, for a specific L1 measurement resource (e.g., indicated by beam / RS / cell identifier), configure / associate its corresponding activation / deactivation conditions and validity information.

[0356] Validity information refers to the conditions under which the activation / deactivation state can continue. For example, if a measurement resource is activated, the UE can consider that the measurement resource to remain active if the validity information associated with / corresponding to that measurement resource is met (such as within the validity period).

[0357] Taking resource measurement as an example, effective information can include one or more of the following:

[0358] Option 1: Valid time.

[0359] The valid time can be indicated by absolute time information (such as the length of time based on the initial UTC time of 00:00:00) or by the length of a timer. For example:

[0360] When the UE receives a dynamic signaling instruction to activate / deactivate a certain measurement resource, or when the measurement result meets the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions, the UE starts / stops the measurement of the relevant measurement resource and / or starts the corresponding timer (based on the effective time length).

[0361] During the timer's operation, the UE maintains the active / deactivated state of the relevant measurement resources.

[0362] When the timer expires, the UE changes the activation / deactivation status of the relevant measurement resource. For example, it deactivates an activated resource (e.g., stops measuring the resource) or activates a deactivated resource (e.g., enables / re-enables measuring the resource). Alternatively, the UE can send a message to the NW requesting a change in the activation / deactivation status of the relevant measurement resource, such as via RRC signaling (e.g., UAI message), MAC CE, or UCI.

[0363] Option 2: Valid range.

[0364] The effective area range can be indicated by geographic location / area range information (such as latitude and longitude) or cell / beam / TRP / BWP information (such as a cell / beam / TRP / BWP list). For example:

[0365] When the UE receives a dynamic activation signaling instruction to activate / deactivate a certain measurement resource, or when the measurement result meets the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions, the UE starts / stops the measurement of the relevant measurement resource.

[0366] When the UE's movement range is within the valid area, for example, when the UE's location information is within the indicated valid geographic location / area, or when the currently serving or active cell / beam / TRP / BWP is in the cell / beam / TRP / BWP list indicated by the valid information, or when the UE performs a handover between cells / beams / TRP / BWP in the cell / beam / TRP / BWP list indicated by the valid information (i.e., after the UE performs a handover, the target cell / beam / TRP / BWP is still included in the cell / beam / TRP / BWP list indicated by the valid information), the UE maintains the active / deactivated state of the relevant measurement resources.

[0367] When the UE's movement range exceeds the effective area range, for example, when the UE's location information is outside the indicated effective geographical location / area range, or when the UE switches to a cell / beam / TRP / BWP outside the cell / beam / TRP / BWP list indicated by the effective information (i.e., after the UE performs a handover, the target cell / beam / TRP / BWP is not included in the cell / beam / TRP / BWP list indicated by the effective information), the UE changes the activation / deactivation status of the relevant measurement resources, or the UE can send a message to the NW to request a change in the activation / deactivation status of the relevant measurement resources.

[0368] Option 3: Information related to UE movement speed.

[0369] It can indicate the UE's speed range (e.g., less than 60 km / h), the UE's movement status (e.g., stationary / normal / low speed, medium speed, or high speed), or information that can be used to characterize movement speed (e.g., RSRP / RSRQ changes, TA changes, etc.). For example:

[0370] When the UE receives a dynamic activation signaling instruction to activate / deactivate a certain measurement resource, or when the measurement result meets the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions, the UE starts / stops the measurement of the relevant measurement resource.

[0371] When the UE's mobility speed / state is within the indicated mobility speed / state range, or when the information used to characterize the mobility speed is within the indicated information range (e.g., for RSRP / RSRQ changes, the difference between the RSRP / RSRQ value measured by the UE at the current PCell and the reference RSRP / RSRQ value is less than the change in NW configuration), the UE maintains the active / deactivated state of the relevant measurement resources.

[0372] When the UE's movement speed / state exceeds the indicated movement speed / state, or when the information used to characterize the movement speed exceeds the indicated information range, the UE changes the activation / deactivation state of the relevant measurement resources, or the UE may send a message to the NW to request a change in the activation / deactivation state of the relevant measurement resources.

[0373] Any combination of the above options can also be considered.

[0374] It should be noted that the above options can also be applied to valid information in measurement reports or measurement gaps. Measurement resources can also refer to or be replaced by "measurement report" or "measurement gap," as used to indicate valid information in measurement reports or measurement gaps.

[0375] II. Measurement Configuration Information.

[0376] For NW-triggered mechanisms, NW can also carry / indicate the update / modification of relevant measurement configuration parameters through dynamic update / activation signaling (such as MACCE, DCI). For example, while activating / deactivating the measurement configuration, the parameter information of the relevant measurement configuration can be updated / modified.

[0377] Measurement configuration modifications / updates may include one or more of the following:

[0378] The threshold or bias value of the event;

[0379] Hysteresis coefficient;

[0380] Trigger time (timeToTrigger);

[0381] An indicator that tells the UE whether to report a measurement report when the event departure conditions are met (reportOnLeave);

[0382] Carrier-level offset value;

[0383] Cell-level bias value;

[0384] Beam / RS level offset value;

[0385] For periodic reporting triggered by events, the reporting interval (reportInterval) and / or the number of reports (reportAmount) are specified.

[0386] Indicators that indicate whether the UE can report measurement results of beams / cells that do not meet the event conditions (allowReportAnyBeam, allowReportAnyCell);

[0387] Indicators (reportCurrentBeam, reportCurrentCell) that indicate whether the UE needs to report the measurement results of the current serving beam / cell;

[0388] The maximum number of cells / beams that can be reported in a single measurement report (nrOfReportedCells, maxNumberOfReportedBeams);

[0389] The maximum number of beams per cell that can be reported in a single measurement report (nrOfReportedRS-PerCell);

[0390] Reported measurements (such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR).

[0391] For the UE-triggered mechanism, the NW can configure / associate the above configuration parameter modification / update information for activation / deactivation conditions. When the measurement result meets the corresponding activation / deactivation condition, the UE applies the associated configuration parameters to update the measurement configuration information, and / or, based on the updated measurement configuration, starts / stops the measurement / reporting of relevant measurement resources.

[0392] When the UE receives the above information contained in the dynamic update / activation signaling, or when the measurement result meets the corresponding activation / deactivation conditions, there are two processing methods:

[0393] Option 1: For the corresponding configuration parameter, the UE uses the received parameter value to overwrite / replace the parameter value of the corresponding parameter in the current UE configuration.

[0394] Option 2: For the corresponding configuration parameters, the UE applies the received parameter value based on the currently configured parameter value, such as adding (or subtracting) the received parameter value from the currently configured parameter value. For example, for event LTM3, the UE's currently configured threshold offset (ltm3-offset) is 3dB, and the threshold offset value indicated in the dynamic update / activation signaling is 1dB. The updated threshold offset value for the UE is 3+1=4dB.

[0395] 3. Assistance information provided by the UE (such as assistance information based on AI prediction).

[0396] Currently, the UE can predict beam / cell measurement results using AI, such as predicting future measurement results based on current results, or predicting measurement results for other frequencies / cells / beams by measuring reference signals for some frequencies / cells / beams. Based on the AI-predicted frequency / beam / cell measurement results, the UE can report desired or suggested activation / deactivation measurement configuration information to the NW. This can be done via RRC signaling (such as UE Auxiliary Information Message UAI, RRC Reconfiguration Complete Message, or a new RRC message), MAC CE, lower layer control element, or UCI.

[0397] The reported information may include one or more of the following:

[0398] Recommended / requested activation / deactivation frequency information;

[0399] Recommended / requested activation / deactivation information for a particular cell, such as cell identifier / index;

[0400] Recommend / request activation / deactivation of beam / RS information, such as beam / RS identifier / index;

[0401] Recommended / requested activation / deactivation of CSI resource configuration information, such as CSI resource configuration identifier / index;

[0402] Recommend / request activation / deactivation reporting configuration information, such as reporting configuration identifier / index;

[0403] Recommendation / Request activation / Deactivation reporting configuration types;

[0404] Recommendation / Activation Request / Deactivation event information;

[0405] Recommended / requested activation / deactivation of measurement gap information, such as measurement gap configuration identifier / index;

[0406] Recommended / requested activation / deactivation of measurement gap granularity / type / application;

[0407] Frequency / beam / cell measurement results obtained based on AI predictions.

[0408] The auxiliary information reported by the UE can be reported to the NW via RRC signaling (such as UAI messages) or MAC CE. The NW can refer to the information reported by the UE to decide whether to activate / deactivate measurement configurations, and / or which measurement configurations to activate / deactivate.

[0409] Example 4: Information exchange between NW nodes.

[0410] I. Inter-node interaction in CU / DU separation scenarios.

[0411] For dynamic L1 measurement activation / deactivation, the interaction process between base station nodes also needs to be considered.

[0412] Issue 1: Which node decides to initiate the activation / deactivation process?

[0413] Option 1: Initiated by the source-side CU. The source-side CU can decide whether to request activation / deactivation of some L1 measurements based on the received L3 measurement results.

[0414] Option 2: Source-side DU initiated.

[0415] The following scheme uses L1 measurement resources as an example, and is also applicable to L1 measurement report configuration and measurement gap configuration.

[0416] For intra-CU LTM, the following approach can be considered:

[0417] Option a-1: For intra-CU LTM, the CU directly determines which L1 measurement resources to activate / deactivate (e.g., based on L3 measurement results) and notifies the corresponding DU, such as notifying the identifier / index of the activated / deactivated L1 measurement resource.

[0418] Option a-2: For intra-CU LTM, the CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request to each relevant DU (such as source DU, candidate DU), along with the L1 measurement resource to be activated / deactivated; the DU replies with the result of the L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation, such as whether the DU accepts the activation / deactivation of the indicated L1 measurement resource, or indicates the information of the accepted activation / deactivation of the L1 measurement resource.

[0419] Option a-3: For intra-CU LTM, the CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request to the source DU; the source DU determines which L1 measurement resources to activate / deactivate and sends the L1 measurement resources to be activated to the CU; the CU notifies each relevant (candidate) DU of the L1 measurement resources to be activated / deactivated. For example, as follows... Figure 6 The diagram shown illustrates another communication method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, showing the process of activating / deactivating L1 measurement resources between the CU, the source DU, and the candidate DU, including: Step 1, the CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request to the source DU; Step 2, the source DU determines the L1 measurement resource to be activated / deactivated and sends the L1 measurement resource to be activated / deactivated to the CU; Step 3, the CU notifies the candidate DU of the L1 measurement resource to be activated / deactivated.

[0420] Option a-4: For intra-CU LTM, the CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request to the source DU; the source DU decides which L1 measurement resources to activate / deactivate and sends the L1 measurement resources to be activated to the CU; the CU sends activation / deactivation requests to each relevant (candidate) DU, and the subsequent process is similar to option a-2. The CU notifies the source DU of the result of the L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation. For example, as shown... Figure 7 The diagram illustrates another communication method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, showing the process of activating / deactivating L1 measurement resources between the CU, the source DU, and the candidate DU, including: Step 1, the CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request to the source DU; Step 2, the source DU determines the L1 measurement resource to be activated / deactivated and sends the L1 measurement resource to be activated / deactivated to the CU; Step 3, the CU sends an activation / deactivation request to the candidate DU; Step 4, the candidate DU replies with the result of L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation; Step 5, the CU sends the result of the candidate DU's L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation to the source DU.

[0421] For inter-CU LTM, the following approach can be considered:

[0422] Option b-1: For inter-CU LTM, the source CU directly determines which L1 measurement resources to activate / deactivate (e.g., based on L3 measurement results) and notifies the corresponding candidate CU, which in turn notifies the corresponding candidate DU.

[0423] Option b-2: For inter-CU LTM, the source CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request, along with the L1 measurement resources to be activated / deactivated, to each candidate CU; the candidate CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request, along with the L1 measurement resources to be activated / deactivated, to its associated candidate DU. The candidate DU replies to the candidate CU with the L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation result, and the candidate CU replies to the source CU with the result.

[0424] Option b-3: For inter-CU LTM, the source CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request to the source DU; the source DU decides which L1 measurement resources to activate / deactivate and sends the L1 measurement resources to be activated to the source CU; the source CU notifies each relevant (candidate) CU of the L1 measurement resources to be activated / deactivated.

[0425] Option b-4: For inter-CU LTM, the source CU sends an L1 measurement resource activation / deactivation request to the source DU; the source DU decides which L1 measurement resources to activate / deactivate and sends the L1 measurement resources to be activated to the source CU; the source CU sends activation / deactivation requests to each relevant (candidate) CU, and the subsequent process is similar to option b-2.

[0426] For activation / deactivation initiated by the source-side DU, "CU" in the above process can be replaced with "DU", and "DU" can be replaced with "CU".

[0427] Issue 2: Information carried in activation / deactivation interaction signaling

[0428] The activation / deactivation interaction signaling mentioned above may carry one or more of the following information:

[0429] Indicators that activate or deactivate L1 measurements, such as indicators for the activation status of L1 measurement resources, L1 measurement reports, or L1 measurement gaps.

[0430] Activation / deactivation RS type, such as SSB or CSI-RS;

[0431] Activated / deactivated resource configuration information, such as CSI resource configuration / resource set identifier / index, cell identifier / index, RS / beam identifier / index, etc.;

[0432] Activating / deactivating cell identity / type, such as candidate SpCell, PCell, PSCell, or SCell.

[0433] Activate / deactivate the L1 measurement reporting / report configuration identifier / index, such as LTM-CSI-ReportConfigId;

[0434] Type of activation / deactivation measurement report;

[0435] The type of measurement reporting event that is activated / deactivated;

[0436] Activate / deactivate measurement gap configuration identifier / index;

[0437] Granularity of the activation / deactivation measurement gap;

[0438] Type / purpose of the activated / deactivated measurement gap;

[0439] Validity information associated with the activation / deactivation of measurement resource configurations / report configurations / gap configurations;

[0440] Measurement configuration modification / update information.

[0441] II. Inter-node interaction in DC scenarios.

[0442] In MR-DC scenarios, the MN can configure MCG LTM, and the SN can configure SCG LTM. In some cases (e.g., for intra-CU LTM), the NW can configure both MCG LTM and SCG LTM simultaneously. Correspondingly, the NW can simultaneously configure L1 measurements for MCGLTM (e.g., MN-side L1 measurements) and L1 measurements for SCG LTM (e.g., SN-side L1 measurements). L1 measurements for MCG LTM are generated by the MN configuration, while L1 measurements for SCG LTM are generated by the SN configuration. To avoid the L1 measurements configured by the NW for MCGLTM and SCG LTM exceeding the maximum limits of the UE's capabilities, interaction / negotiation regarding L1 measurements is required between the MN and SN.

[0443] Furthermore, considering that in future wireless communication, only active L1 measurements may consume UE capabilities, the number of L1 measurement configurations provided by the NW when initially configuring L1 measurements can exceed the maximum number supported by the UE capability. However, it is necessary to ensure that the number of simultaneously active L1 measurement configurations does not exceed the maximum number supported by the UE capability. Therefore, the MN and SN need to interact / negotiate regarding the active / deactivated status of L1 measurements or the number of active / deactivated measurement configurations.

[0444] The following methods can be considered:

[0445] Method 1: The MN sends information about the L1 measurements that the SN is allowed to activate to the SN. The SN activates / deactivates L1 measurements on the SN side according to the information provided by the MN. For example, the number of L1 measurements activated on the SN side cannot exceed the maximum number that the SN is allowed to activate as indicated by the MN.

[0446] Method 2: MN and SN negotiate the information of L1 measurement that SN allows to activate:

[0447] MN sends information about the L1 measurements that SN allows to be activated to SN.

[0448] Optionally, the SN may also send information about the L1 measurements that the SN requests / suggests to be activated to the MN, for example, when the number of L1 measurements that the SN wants to activate exceeds the maximum number allowed to be activated as indicated by the MN.

[0449] Optionally, the MN can accept or reject information from the SN requesting / suggesting activation of L1 measurements. The MN sends feedback information to the SN. The SN activates / deactivates the L1 measurement based on the feedback information from the MN.

[0450] The information regarding L1 measurements that the SN allows to be activated, and / or the information regarding L1 measurements that the SN requests / suggests to be activated, wherein the content of the L1 measurement information includes at least one of the following:

[0451] The maximum number of L1 measurement resource configurations, such as the maximum number of CSI resource configurations / resource sets, the maximum number of cells, the maximum number of RS / beams, etc.

[0452] The maximum number of L1 measurement reports that can be configured, such as the maximum number of CSI measurement reports that can be configured.

[0453] The maximum number of L1 measurement gap configurations;

[0454] The maximum number of frequency layers for same-frequency L1-RSRP measurements and different-frequency L1-RSRP measurements that do not require measurement gaps;

[0455] The maximum number of frequency layers required for L1-RSRP measurements of different frequencies that need to be measured;

[0456] The maximum number of neighboring cells that can be measured on each frequency layer for same-frequency L1-RSRP measurements and different-frequency L1-RSRP measurements that do not require measurement gaps;

[0457] The maximum number of neighboring cells that can be measured on each frequency layer of the L1-RSRP measurement of the required gap;

[0458] The maximum number of cells that can be measured (e.g., the total number of serving cells and neighboring cells across all frequency layers for L1 co-frequency measurements and inter-frequency measurements that do not require measurement gaps);

[0459] The maximum number of SSB resources used for L1-RSRP measurements within a time slot (e.g., the number of SSB resources that a UE can use for in-frequency measurements of candidate cells or for inter-frequency measurements that do not require a measurement gap within a time slot);

[0460] The maximum number of SSB resources on each frequency layer for in-frequency L1-RSRP measurements and out-of-frequency L1-RSRP measurements that do not require measurement gaps;

[0461] The maximum number of SSB resources on each frequency layer for inter-frequency L1-RSRP measurements that require measurement gaps;

[0462] The maximum number of SSB resources (e.g., the total number of SSB resources of serving cells and neighboring cells across all frequency layers for L1 co-frequency measurements and inter-frequency measurements that do not require measurement gaps);

[0463] The maximum number of CSI-RS resources used for L1-RSRP measurements within a time slot (e.g., the number of CSI-RS resources that a UE can use for in-frequency measurements of candidate cells or for inter-frequency measurements that do not require a measurement gap within a time slot);

[0464] The maximum number of CSI-RS resources per frequency layer for in-frequency L1-RSRP measurements and out-of-frequency CSI-RS measurements that do not require measurement gaps;

[0465] The maximum number of CSI-RS resources per frequency layer for inter-frequency L1-RSRP measurements that require measurement gaps;

[0466] The maximum number of CSI-RS resources (e.g., the total number of CSI-RS resources for serving cells and neighboring cells across all frequency layers for L1 co-frequency measurements and inter-frequency measurements that do not require measurement gaps).
