[0118] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0119] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario for beam reporting provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this scenario includes a terminal 100, a first network device 200, and a second network device 300. Data transmission between the terminal 100 and the first network device 200 is conducted via the network, and data transmission between the terminal 100 and the second network device 300 is also conducted via the network.

[0120] The first network device 200 and the second network device 300 can be a base station (BTS) in Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a base station (NodeB, NB) in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, a relay station or access point, or a base station in a 5G network, etc., and are not limited here.

[0121] Terminal 100 may be a wireless terminal, which may be a device providing voice and / or other service data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The wireless terminal may communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The wireless terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) or a computer with a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges voice and / or data with the radio access network. The wireless terminal may also be referred to as a system, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile, remote station, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, user device, or user equipment, without limitation herein.

[0122] In traditional beamforming methods, the network side can configure periodic beam reporting, semi-persistent beam reporting, or trigger aperiodic beam reporting to obtain the optimal beam for data transmission or control transmission in a timely manner. However, traditional beamforming methods result in significant uplink reporting overhead and control signaling overhead. Furthermore, if less frequent beam reporting is configured, the network side may not be able to obtain beam reports in a timely manner because the UE's beam reports may be outdated, leading to performance degradation.

[0123] Based on the above-mentioned traditional technology, this application provides a beam reporting method that flexibly reports according to the number of target-triggered events within the detection time, thereby improving the timeliness of beam reporting.

[0124] It should be noted that the beneficial effects or technical problems solved by the embodiments of this application are not limited to this one, but may also be other implicit or related problems. For details, please refer to the description of the embodiments below.

[0125] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0126] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a beam reporting method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking the terminal in the example, the explanation includes the following steps:

[0127] S201, when a target triggering event is detected within the detection period, obtain the first statistical count of the target triggering event detected within the detection period.

[0128] The target triggering event includes at least one of the following: the beam quality of the current first beam is lower than a first preset quality threshold; the beam quality of the detected second beam is higher than a second preset quality threshold, and the second beam is any beam other than the first beam; the beam quality of the second beam is higher than the beam quality of the first beam; and the beam quality of the third beam is higher than a specified beam.

[0129] In this embodiment, the detection duration and the first statistical count can be determined based on the terminal's historical reported data, allowing for periodic reporting based on the detection duration. This is achieved each time a target trigger time is received. In this embodiment, the terminal determines the first statistical count of all target trigger times within the current period's detection duration each time a target trigger event is detected.

[0130] Optionally, the duration can be detected by a timer; and / or, the first count can be counted by a counter.

[0131] Optionally, the detection duration can begin at the moment when the target trigger event is first received.

[0132] S202, based on the first statistical count, report the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event to the first network device.

[0133] In this embodiment of the application, when the first statistical count is detected to meet the reporting requirements, a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event can be reported to the first network device; or, when the first statistical count is detected to not meet the reporting requirements, the detection duration can be adjusted and the detection can continue, and when the statistical count in the adjusted detection duration meets the reporting requirements, a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event can be reported to the first network device.

[0134] Optionally, the beam reporting from the terminal to the first network device can be a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event, or a beam-level measurement report.

[0135] In the aforementioned beam reporting method, when a target triggering event is detected within the detection period, a first statistical count of the target triggering event detected within the detection period is obtained; based on the first statistical count, a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is reported to the first network device. By statistically analyzing the number of target triggering events within the detection period, beam reports can be reported to the first network device in a timely manner based on the first statistical count, improving the timeliness of the first network device in obtaining beam reports and avoiding communication losses caused by frequent beam report reporting; furthermore, reporting based on the first statistical count improves the accuracy and real-time performance of beam quality change detection.

[0136] In one embodiment, an implementation of S202 is provided, wherein the "beam report corresponding to the target triggering event based on the number of statistical occurrences" may include:

[0137] S301, when the first statistical count is greater than or equal to the preset count, report the beam report corresponding to the target trigger event.

[0138] In this embodiment of the application, when the first statistical count is greater than or equal to the preset count, it indicates that the target triggering event is relatively frequent, that is, the beam quality changes frequently or significantly, and therefore the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is reported.

[0139] Optionally, after reporting the beam report corresponding to the target trigger event, the timing can be restarted immediately based on the detection duration; or, the timing can be restarted based on the detection duration when the trigger condition is met.

[0140] Optional, such as Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned "beam report corresponding to the target triggering event based on the number of statistical reports" also includes:

[0141] S302, if the first statistical count within the detection time is less than the preset count, the beam report corresponding to the target trigger event will not be reported after the detection time ends.

[0142] In this embodiment, when the first statistical count within the detection duration is less than a preset count, it indicates that there are fewer target triggering events within the detection duration, meaning that the beam quality change is small or insignificant. Therefore, no beam report needs to be submitted at the end of the detection duration. Furthermore, after the detection duration ends, timing can be restarted immediately based on the detection duration; or, after the detection duration ends, timing can be restarted based on the detection duration when the triggering condition is met.

[0143] In the above-mentioned application embodiments, beam reporting is performed based on the detection duration and the first statistical count. Reporting is performed when the detection duration has not ended but the first statistical count reaches a preset threshold, thereby improving the accuracy and real-time performance of beam quality change detection.

[0144] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the above beam reporting method may further include:

[0145] S303, if the first statistical count within the detection duration is less than the preset count, then determine the second statistical count of the target triggering event detected within the first incremental duration; the start time of the first incremental duration is the end time of the detection duration.

[0146] In this embodiment of the application, a first incremental duration is preset. When the first statistical count within the detection duration is less than the preset count, the first incremental duration and the original detection duration can be used as the new detection duration. When the terminal detects a target triggering event each time within the incremental duration, it obtains the second statistical count of all target triggering events detected within the incremental duration.

[0147] Optionally, if the first statistical count is less than the preset count and the first statistical count is greater than the preset minimum count within the detection period, the second statistical count of the target trigger event within the first incremental period is determined; if the first statistical count is less than the preset count and the first statistical count is not greater than the preset minimum count within the detection period, the current detection cycle is ended and no beam report is reported.

[0148] S304, based on the second statistical count, report the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event to the first network device.

[0149] In this embodiment of the application, when the second statistical count is detected to meet the reporting requirements, a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event can be reported to the first network device; or, when the sum of the first statistical count and the second statistical count is detected to meet the reporting requirements, a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event can be reported to the first network device.

[0150] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, the above-mentioned S304 "reporting the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event based on the second statistical count" includes:

[0151] S401, determine the first total statistical count based on the first statistical count and the second statistical count.

[0152] In this embodiment of the application, when a target triggering event is detected, a second statistical count of the target triggering event is determined within a first incremental duration, and the sum of the first statistical count and the second statistical count is determined to obtain a first total statistical count.

[0153] S402, when the first total number of statistics is greater than or equal to the preset number, report the beam report corresponding to the target trigger event to the first network device.

[0154] In this embodiment of the application, when the first total number of statistics is greater than or equal to the preset number, it indicates that the target triggering event is relatively frequent, that is, the beam quality changes frequently or significantly, and therefore the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is reported; when the first total number of statistics is less than the preset number, the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is not reported after the first increment duration ends.

[0155] In the above application embodiments, when the first statistical count within the detection duration is less than the preset count, a first incremental duration is added to the current detection cycle, and the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is reported based on the second statistical count of the target triggering event within the first incremental duration, thereby reducing the risk that the network device cannot obtain the beam report in a timely manner.

[0156] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the above beam reporting method may further include:

[0157] S305, when the first statistical count is less than the preset count within the detection duration, for each target trigger event received, a second incremental duration is determined based on the waiting time for receiving the target trigger event; the waiting time includes: the interval between the most recent and the previous target trigger event received, or the interval between the start time of the detection duration and the first time the target trigger event is received.

[0158] In this embodiment, when the first statistical count within the detection duration is less than a preset count, a second incremental duration is determined based on the waiting duration, and the duration of the current detection cycle is adjusted based on the second incremental duration. For example, when the first target trigger event is detected, the detection duration begins, and the detection duration can be represented as timer1, the waiting duration as Δt1, and the remaining duration of the timer used to time the detection cycle as T. When the second event is detected, Δt1 = |T - timer1|, so the waiting duration can be used as the second incremental duration to update the remaining duration of the timer, timer1 = timer1 + Δt1. Further, when the third event is detected, Δt2 = |T - timer1|, and timer1 = timer1 + Δt2.

[0159] Optionally, when the waiting time is less than a preset time threshold, a second incremental time is determined based on the waiting time.

[0160] S306, determine the third statistical count of the target triggering event detected within the second incremental duration; the start time of the second incremental duration is the end time of the detection duration.

[0161] In this embodiment of the application, a counter can be used to determine the third statistical number of times the target triggering event is detected within the second incremental duration.

[0162] S307, based on the third statistical count, reports the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event to the first network device.

[0163] In this embodiment of the application, when the third statistical count is detected to meet the reporting requirements, a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event can be reported to the first network device; or, when the sum of the first statistical count and the third statistical count is detected to meet the reporting requirements, a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event can be reported to the first network device.

[0164] Optional, such as Figure 7 As shown, the above-mentioned S307 "based on the third statistical count, report the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event to the first network device" includes:

[0165] S501, determine the second total statistical count based on the first and third statistical counts.

[0166] In this embodiment of the application, when a target triggering event is detected, a third statistical count of the target triggering event is determined within a second incremental duration, and the sum of the first statistical count and the third statistical count is determined to obtain a second total statistical count.

[0167] S502, when the second total number of statistics is greater than or equal to the preset number, report the beam report corresponding to the target trigger event.

[0168] In this embodiment of the application, when the second total number of statistics is greater than or equal to the preset number, it indicates that the target triggering event is relatively frequent, that is, the beam quality changes frequently or significantly, and therefore the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is reported; when the second total number of statistics is less than the preset number, the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is not reported after the second increment duration ends.

[0169] In the above application embodiments, when the first statistical count within the detection duration is less than the preset count, the second incremental duration is dynamically determined, and the beam report corresponding to the target triggering event is reported according to the third statistical count of the target triggering event within the second incremental duration, thereby reducing the risk that the network device cannot obtain the beam report in a timely manner.

[0170] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the above beam reporting method may further include:

[0171] S203, receive configuration information sent by the second network device, the configuration information including: the detection duration corresponding to the target event type, and / or, the preset number of times.

[0172] In this embodiment, the second network device may be the same as or a different network device from the first network device. The second network device pre-sends configuration information to the terminal, enabling the terminal to determine the beam report reporting strategy based on the configuration information, and then report the beam report according to the reporting strategy.

[0173] Optionally, configuration information is carried in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0174] Optionally, the configuration information may also include: the first incremental duration.

[0175] Optionally, the target event type corresponds to the target triggering event; or, multiple triggering event types, and the detection duration corresponding to each triggering event type, and / or, a preset number of times, wherein the target event type is at least one of the multiple triggering event types. In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the target triggering event from multiple triggering times according to the configuration information; or, determine the detection duration of each type of triggering event and / or, a preset number of times, according to the configuration information.

[0176] Optionally, after receiving the configuration information sent by the second network device, such as Figure 9 As shown, the above beam reporting method also includes:

[0177] S204. If reconfiguration information is received from the second network device, a beam report is reported based on the reconfiguration information.

[0178] In this embodiment, the second network device can send configuration information, i.e., reconfiguration information, to the terminal again. The reconfiguration information includes at least one of the configuration information. Further, the local configuration information, i.e., the local reporting policy, is updated according to the reconfiguration information, thereby performing beam reporting according to the updated reporting policy.

[0179] Optionally, if the reconfiguration information differs from the current configuration information in at least one aspect, the counter and timer are paused.

[0197] In the above application embodiments, the first statistical count corresponding to the target triggering event is determined by the interaction between the physical layer and the upper layer, thereby improving the accuracy of the first statistical count.

[0198] In one embodiment, one implementation of S201 above is provided, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the above-mentioned "when a target triggering event is detected within the detection period, obtain the first statistical count of the target triggering event detected within the detection period" can include: when the physical layer determines that the target triggering event has occurred based on measurement information, the physical layer obtains the first statistical count of the target triggering event detected within the detection period.

[0204] In this embodiment, each time a target triggering event is detected, the terminal determines a first statistical count of all target triggering times within the current detection period. When the first statistical count meets the reporting requirements, the terminal reports a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event to the first network device; alternatively, if the first statistical count does not meet the reporting requirements, the detection period can be adjusted and detection can continue. When the statistical count within the adjusted detection period meets the reporting requirements, the terminal reports a beam report corresponding to the target triggering event to the first network device.

The reconfiguration information includes at least one of the configuration information items. Further, the local reporting policy is updated based on the reconfiguration information, thereby enabling beam reporting according to the updated reporting policy.

[0226] S9, when the terminal receives a target trigger event for the first time less than a preset number of times within the detection period, and the waiting period is less than a preset time threshold, the terminal determines a second incremental time based on the waiting period. The waiting period includes: the interval between the most recent and the previous target trigger event received, or the interval between the start time of the detection period and the first time the target trigger event is received.

[0227] S10, the terminal determines the third statistical count of the target triggering event detected within the second incremental duration; the start time of the second incremental duration is the end time of the detection duration.
