Description

Technical Field

[0001] Various example embodiments relate to terminal capability considerations for terminal-initiated reports. More specifically, various example embodiments illustratively relate to measures (including methods, apparatus, and computer program products) for implementing terminal capability considerations for terminal-initiated reports. Background Technology

[0002] This specification generally relates to reports on wireless conditions experienced by terminals, mobile stations, modems, or user equipment (UEs, such as smartphones).

[0003] Such reports can be, for example, Channel State Information (CSI) reports, Layer 1 reports, Layer 1 measurement reports, beam reports, etc.

[0004] Such reports may, for example, cover multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) / beam management (BM). Alternatively, or additionally, such reports may also cover L1 / L2 triggered mobility (LTM). LTM can refer to layer 2 mobility, lower-layer triggered mobility, or L1 / L2 centralized mobility.

[0005] Such reports can typically be periodic reports (where the terminal (always) repeatedly measures the reference signal and reports periodically in a predetermined periodic radio resource, regardless of whether it is actually needed (i.e., regardless of whether the experienced radio conditions change)); aperiodic reports (where the terminal measures the reference signal and reports once once it is triggered to report); and semi-persistent reports (where the terminal repeatedly measures the reference signal and reports periodically in a predetermined periodic radio resource once it is triggered to report, until it is released from reporting (i.e., semi-persistent reporting is a mixture of periodic and aperiodic reporting)).

[0006] On the other hand, such reports can also be initiated by the terminal (e.g., event-driven), where the event can be the detection of predetermined conditions.

[0007] For such reports initiated by terminals, the terminals must be provided / scheduled with resources to enable them to actually send the data to be reported.

[0008] In cases where a terminal is unable to maintain scheduling for any reason, such resource scheduling can be accompanied by resource waste and communication delays, as scheduled resources are typically prohibited for use by other communication participants.

[0009] For reports initiated by the terminal (UE event-triggered transmissions / reports), the terminal can be configured with uplink (UL) resources (which will be used to request resources for event-based reporting).

[0010] As an example, a terminal (such as a UE) may be configured with periodic UL resource allocation for reporting (e.g., for uplink control information (UCI) reporting); wherein the periodic UL resource can be used by the terminal after the terminal provides an indication for resource use (the terminal indicates an indication for the use of the periodic UL resource). The indicated resource (i.e., the UL resource that will be used by the terminal to provide an indication for resource use (the terminal indicates an indication for the use of the periodic UL resource)) may be periodically available.

[0011] As another example, a terminal can be configured with periodic UL resources to request resources for event-based reporting (terminal-initiated reporting). The network can schedule UL resources for reporting after receiving an indication / request from the terminal.

[0012] As another example, a terminal can be configured with periodic UL resources to indicate that an event for reporting has been triggered.

[0013] Among these options, the terminal may have specific computation time / processing capacity associated with the event-triggered report in a specific reporting configuration; this may affect network resource usage (depending on resource configuration) and the terminal's ability to process specific types of reports and timelines. In this regard, it should be noted that the event-triggered report must be pre-generated / calculated / processed for the event to be actually reported.

[0014] Therefore, a problem arises: for example, resource waste and communication latency are detrimental to the operation of mobile networks, both for the terminal involved and for the entire network and other affected terminals.

[0015] Therefore, it is necessary to consider terminal capabilities for reports initiated by the terminal. Summary of the Invention

[0032] This disclosure is described with reference to specific, non-limiting examples and embodiments currently considered feasible. Those skilled in the art will understand that this disclosure is by no means limited to these examples and can be applied more broadly.

[0033] It should be noted that the following description of this disclosure and its embodiments primarily refers (as a non-limiting example) to specifications used in a particular exemplary network configuration and deployment. That is, this disclosure and its embodiments are primarily described with respect to 3GPP specifications, which (as a non-limiting example) are used in certain exemplary network configurations and deployments. Therefore, the description of the exemplary embodiments given herein specifically refers to terms directly related to these specifications. Such terms are used only in the context of the presented non-limiting examples and naturally do not limit this disclosure in any way. Rather, any other communication or communication-related system deployments, etc., may be utilized as long as they conform to the features described herein.

[0034] Hereinafter, various embodiments and implementations of this disclosure and its aspects or examples are described using several variations and / or alternatives. It should generally be noted that, depending on certain requirements and constraints, all said variations and / or alternatives may be provided individually or in any conceivable combination (including combinations of individual features of various variations and / or alternatives).

[0035] As used in this document, “at least one of the following: ” and “at least one of ” and similar wording, where the list of two or more elements is connected by “and” or “or”, means at least any one element, or at least any two or more elements, or at least all elements.

[0036] Based on the example embodiments, measures and mechanisms are generally provided for (enabling / implementing) terminal capability considerations for terminal-initiated reports.

[0037] Terminal-initiated reports (or UE-initiated reports or UE event-driven reports) offer advantages in terms of resource utilization and configuration flexibility.

[0038] An example application of terminal-initiated reports (or UE-initiated reports or UE event-driven reports) is UE-initiated / event-driven beam management (MIMO / BM).

[0039] Advantageously, its control is facilitated by utilizing the traditional CSI measurement and reporting configuration framework of the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) as much as possible; the goal is to have frequency range 1 / frequency range 2 (FR1 / FR2) with intra-cell and inter-cell beam management and single transmit / receive point (sTRP).

[0040] In addition, one of the goals of the 3GPP NR Release 19 Mobility Enhancement is to specify the necessary components for supporting event-triggered Layer 1 (L1) measurement reports (such as, but not limited to, CSI reports) for L1 / L2 triggered mobility (LTM), which can be L1 / L2 centralized mobility, lower layer triggered mobility, or L2 mobility.

[0041] In the following text, the uplink (UL) signaling content (and required procedures) for UE-initiated / event-driven beam reporting to facilitate fast beam switching, and the UL signaling media / container primarily designed for beam reporting purposes, taking into account the UE-initiated / event-driven nature of UL transmissions, will be defined.

[0042] In this regard, regarding MIMO / BM, the following can be envisioned:

[0043] For reports initiated by the terminal (or UE-initiated reports / UE event-driven reports), the terminal / UE must detect the triggering event for beam reporting. Therefore, the terminal / UE can monitor reference signals (RS) (or multiple RS) to assess whether the beam reporting triggering conditions have been met.

[0044] In addition, for reports initiated by the terminal (or reports initiated by the UE / UE event-driven reports), the terminal / UE must send a beam report; the content of the beam report indicates the experienced radio conditions, and the signaling medium / container used for beam report transmission is, for example, a Media Access Control Element (MAC-CE) or Uplink Control Information (UCI).

[0045] UE-initiated / event-driven beam reporting can be implemented using the following: the concept of the UE requesting (multiple) UL resources for beam reporting (and the network authorizing / scheduling (multiple) such UL resources); the concept of the UE pre-notifying the transmission of beam reporting; the concept of the UE notifying the event that it has been triggered; and the concept of the network (e.g., gNB) pre-configuring UL resources for the UE's beam reporting.

[0046] As mentioned above, reports can be executed using periodic reports, non-periodic reports, and semi-persistent reports.

[0047] These concepts will be explained below with reference to the Layer 1 (L1) Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) report according to the CSI framework.

[0048] As mentioned earlier, such a framework can also be adopted / utilized as much as possible for terminal-initiated reports (or UE-initiated reports or UE event-driven reports). Efforts can be made to adopt / utilize these frameworks as much as possible.

[0049] According to this framework, by applying the higher-level parameter `reportTriggerSizeDCI-0-2` instead of `reportTriggerSize`, the process for non-periodic CSI reporting assumes that CSI reports are triggered by DCI format 0_1, but this also applies to CSI reports triggered by DCI format 0_2. The process for non-periodic CSI reporting also assumes that CSI reports are triggered by DCI format 0_1, but this also applies to CSI reports triggered by DCI format 0_3.

[0050] Furthermore, according to this framework, the time-frequency resources that the UE can use to report CSI are controlled by the gNB. CSI can consist of Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), SS / PBCH Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI), Layer Indicator (LI), Rank Indicator (RI), L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, CapabilityIndex, or Time Domain Channel Attribute (TDCP).

[0051] Furthermore, according to this framework, each report setting CSI-ReportConfig is associated with a single downlink bandwidth portion (BWP) given in the associated CSI-ResourceConfig (indicated by the higher-layer parameter BWP-Id) for channel measurement, and contains (multiple) parameters for a CSI reporting band: codebook configuration (including codebook subset restrictions), time-domain behavior, frequency granularity for CQI and PMI, measurement restriction configuration, and CSI-related quantities to be reported by the UE (such as LI, L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, CRI, SSBRI, CapabilityIndex, and TDCP).

[0052] Furthermore, according to this framework, the temporal behavior of CSI-ReportConfig is indicated by the higher-level parameter reportConfigType, and can be set to "non-periodic," "semiPersistentOnPUCCH," "semiPersistentOnPUSCH," or "periodic." For "periodic" and "semiPersistentOnPUCCH" / "semiPersistentOnPUSCH" CSI reports, the configured period and slot offset apply to the parameter set of the UL BWP in which the CSI report is configured to be sent. The higher-level parameter reportQuantity indicates the amount of CSI-related, L1-RSRP-related, L1-SINR-related, CapabilityIndex-related, or TDCP-related quantity to be reported.

[0053] Furthermore, according to this framework, each CSI resource setting CSI-ResourceConfig contains a configuration of a list of S≥1 CSI resource sets (given by the higher-level parameter csi-RS-ResourceSetList), where the list includes references to both (multiple) NZP CSI-RS resource sets and (multiple) SS / PBCH block sets, or the list includes references to (multiple) CSI-IM resource sets. Each CSI resource setting resides in a DL BWP identified by the higher-level parameter BWP-id, and all CSI resource settings linked to the CSI reporting setting have the same DL BWP.

[0054] As mentioned above, an event-triggered report must be generated / computed / processed before it can actually be reported. Since a terminal may have specific computation time or processing power associated with reporting an event-triggered report under a particular reporting configuration, a terminal may potentially be unable to maintain scheduling without considering its capabilities and limitations. This can lead to wasted resources and communication latency, as scheduled resources are typically prohibited from use by other communication participants; and only idle / unscheduled / unused resources (known as idle / unscheduled / unused resources) can be scheduled by the network (e.g., gNB) for purposes other than reporting initiated by the terminal in question.

[0055] Therefore, in short, according to the example embodiment, a terminal (e.g., a UE) may indicate one or more capabilities (provide indications about them).

[0056] According to the example embodiment, the one or more capabilities include at least one of the following: - The capability for specifying the required time interval (e.g., (essentially) minimum interval) between the UL signaling used to request physical uplink (UL) resources (first UL signal) and the corresponding allocated (one or more) resources (second UL signal). - The ability to specify the required time interval (e.g., (essentially) minimum interval) between the UL signal indicating / announcing the use of UL resources (first UL signal) and the corresponding allocated (one or more) resources (second UL signal), and - The ability to specify the required time interval (e.g., the minimum interval) between the downlink (DL) control message for scheduling the second signal and the second signal (i.e., the correspondingly allocated (multiple) resources).

[0057] According to an example embodiment, the indication and / or network configuration includes a signaling message that includes at least one of the following: - The required time interval (e.g., (basically) minimum time interval) between the UL signal (first UL signal) requested for the UL resource used for event-based reporting and the start of the reporting time (i.e., the start of the UL resource (second UL signal)). - Instruction / declaration of the required time interval (e.g., a minimum time interval) between the start of the (pre-configured) UL resource (second UL signal) for the use of the UL resource (first UL signal) for the event-based reporting associated with the request and the timing of the reporting (i.e., the start of the UL resource (second UL signal)). - The required time interval (e.g., (basically) minimum time interval) between the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) allocated for the UL resource (second UL signal) for event-based reporting and the start of the reporting timing (i.e., the start of the UL resource (second UL signal)).

[0058] According to the example embodiment, each of the time intervals required above may be a specific time interval associated with a parameter metric related to a particular report (such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR)), the type of event, or the amount of information to be reported (e.g., the number of resource indicators).

[0059] According to another example embodiment, the UE (terminal) can receive a configuration of the actual (minimum) time interval (i.e., the actually configured time interval) between the first UL signal and the second UL signal, which the UE can anticipate. The UE (terminal) can receive this actual (minimum) time interval configuration as a response to the indication. The configured time interval is at least the time interval required according to the indicated capabilities of the terminal.

[0060] According to another example embodiment, the UE (terminal) can receive a configuration of the time interval between a first UL signal and a second UL signal that the UE can anticipate. The configured time interval can be at least the time interval required according to the capabilities indicated by the terminal.

[0061] According to another example embodiment, the UE (terminal) can receive a configuration of a time interval between a report-related timing initiated by a first terminal and a report-related timing initiated by a second terminal. In one example, the report-related timing initiated by the second terminal corresponds to the transmission of a radio condition report, and the report-related timing initiated by the first terminal precedes and is associated with the transmission of the radio condition report. In one example, the UE can determine at least one transmission-related condition based on the time interval.

[0062] Example embodiments are described in more detail below.

[0063] Figure 1 This is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus according to an example embodiment. The apparatus may be a terminal 10, such as a user equipment, including a component for indication 11 and a component for determination 12. The component for indication 11 indicates a required time interval between a report-related timing initiated by a first terminal and a report-related timing initiated by a second terminal. Here, the report-related timing initiated by the second terminal corresponds to the transmission of a wireless condition report. Furthermore, the report-related timing initiated by the first terminal precedes and is associated with the transmission of the wireless condition report. The component for determination 12 determines at least one condition associated with the transmission based on the time interval. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a process according to an example embodiment. According to Figure 1 The device can perform Figure 3 The method shown is not limited to this method. Figure 3 The method can be derived from Figure 1 The device performs the operation, but is not limited to the device performing the operation.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the process according to the example embodiment includes: an operation of instructing (S31) a required time interval between a report-related timing initiated by a first terminal and a report-related timing initiated by a second terminal (the report-related timing initiated by the second terminal corresponds to the transmission of a wireless condition report, and the report-related timing initiated by the first terminal precedes and is associated with the transmission of the wireless condition report); and an operation of determining (S32) at least one transmission-related condition based on the time interval.

Therefore, according to Figure 2 The apparatus may further include: a receiving component 21, a transmitting component 22, a detecting component 23, a determining component 24, an acquiring component 25, an implementing component 26, and / or a generating component 27.

[0066] In one embodiment, Figure 1 (or Figure 2 At least some of the functions of the apparatus shown in the diagram can be shared between two physically independent devices forming an operational entity. Therefore, the apparatus can be considered as an operational entity that depicts one or more physically independent devices comprising at least some of the processes described.

[0067] As an alternative to the operation of indicating (S31) the required time interval between the reporting-related timing initiated by the first terminal and the reporting-related timing initiated by the second terminal, the process according to the example embodiment may include receiving (e.g., but not limited to, from a mobile network access entity (e.g., a base station, such as a gNB)) a configuration indicating the time interval between the reporting-related timing initiated by the first terminal and the reporting-related timing initiated by the second terminal. According to this alternative, apparatus 10 may therefore include a component for receiving the configuration indicating the time interval between the reporting-related timing initiated by the first terminal and the reporting-related timing initiated by the second terminal, replacing or supplementing the component 11 for indicating. Furthermore, according to this alternative, the operation of determining (S32) at least one transmission (e.g., reporting) related condition may be based on the time interval indicated by the received configuration. Furthermore, according to this alternative, the process may additionally include performing at least one transmission based on the time interval indicated by the network. Furthermore, according to this alternative, the process may additionally include performing at least one transmission based on the time interval configured by the network.

[0068] According to another example embodiment, the report-related timing initiated by the second terminal corresponds to the uplink reporting resources to be used for the transmission of the wireless condition report, and the report-related timing initiated by the first terminal precedes and is associated with the uplink reporting resources to be used for the transmission of the wireless condition report.

[0069] According to another example embodiment, the reporting-related timing initiated by the second terminal corresponds to the first or last symbol of the uplink reporting resource to be used in the transmission of the wireless condition report, or corresponds to the first or last symbol of the time slot of the uplink reporting resource to be used in the transmission of the wireless condition report.

Such an exemplary indication operation (S31, indicating the time interval) according to an example embodiment may include the operation of sending information indicating the time interval. The operation of sending the information indicating the time interval may send the information to a mobile network access entity (e.g., a base station, such as a gNB). However, the operation of sending the information indicating the time interval is not limited to such a transmission destination.

[0093] The example embodiments outlined and specified above are explained below in more specialized terms.

[0094] Specifically, according to an example embodiment, the terminal (e.g., UE) indicates the minimum time interval (i.e., the requested time interval) between the UL signal (used to request resources for reporting) and the corresponding reporting timing.

[0095] In response to this situation, according to an example embodiment, the time interval is determined to be the time (period) between the UL signal requesting the resource and the reporting timing.

[0096] Furthermore, in such cases, according to an example embodiment, the time interval is determined to be the time (time period) between the first / last symbol of the UL signal (used to send the request for resources) and the first symbol of the reporting timing or the first symbol of the time slot in which the reporting timing occurs.

[0097] Furthermore, in such cases, according to the example embodiment, the time interval is indicated in terms of symbols, time slots, or milliseconds.

[0098] According to another example embodiment, the UE (terminal) indicates (used to indicate / announce resource usage for reporting) the (minimum) time interval (i.e. the required time interval) between the UL signal and the corresponding reporting time.

[0099] In such cases, according to an example embodiment, the time interval is determined to be the time (period) between the transmission of the UL signal (indicating / announcing resource (use)) and the timing of the report.

[0100] Furthermore, in such cases, according to an example embodiment, the time interval is determined to be the time (period) between the first / last symbol of the UL signal (used to send an indication / announcement of resource (use)) and the first symbol of the reporting timing or the first symbol of the time slot in which the reporting timing is located.

[0101] Furthermore, in such cases, according to the example embodiment, the time interval is indicated in terms of symbols, time slots, or milliseconds.

[0102] According to another example embodiment, the terminal (e.g., UE) indicates the minimum time interval (i.e., the required time interval) between the PDCCH of (one or more) UL resources (used for reporting) and the reporting time.

[0103] In this context, according to an example embodiment, the time interval is determined to be the duration (period) between the reception of downlink control information (DCI) (on the PDCCH) for (multiple) UL resources (used for scheduling reporting) and the scheduled reporting timing. The reception of DCI may refer to the last symbol of the PDCCH on the CORESET used to transmit the DCI.

[0104] Furthermore, in such cases, according to an example embodiment, the time interval is determined as the time (period) between the first / last symbol of the PDCCH (used to schedule the reporting of) (multiple) UL resources and the first symbol of the scheduled reporting time or the first symbol of the time slot in which the scheduled reporting time is located.

[0105] Furthermore, in such cases, according to the example embodiment, the time interval may be indicated in terms of symbols, time slots, or milliseconds.

[0106] According to another example embodiment, the indicated time interval is associated with or specific to the reporting volume.

[0107] As an example, the time interval (e.g., indicated by UE capability values ​​or configured by the network) can be associated with the number of resource indicators (RIs) to be reported; that is, the time interval can be associated with the (substantially maximum) number of resource indicators and / or the associated reporting volume.

[0108] According to another example embodiment, the UE indication is conveyed in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message. This example embodiment is not limited to such an implementation. In fact, the indication can also be conveyed via any other uplink control message.

[0109] According to another example embodiment, if the time interval between the signal requesting the reporting of one or more UL resources and the first symbol (or the last symbol) of the provided reporting time is shorter than the capability value (i.e., the required time interval / period), the terminal does not require reporting at that reporting time. The terminal may report at a subsequent reporting time that satisfies the terminal's capability (i.e., the required time interval).

[0110] According to another example embodiment, if the time interval between the signal requesting the reporting of one or more UL resources and the first symbol (or the last symbol) of the provided reporting time is shorter (or smaller) than the configured time interval (i.e., the required time interval / period), the terminal does not request to report at that reporting time. The terminal may report at a subsequent reporting time when the required (configured) time interval is met.

[0111] According to another example embodiment, the time interval between the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) allocating UL resources (second UL signal) for event-triggered reporting and the start of the reporting timing (i.e., the UL resource (second UL signal)) can be configured to be within the same time slot. In some example embodiments, the UE can indicate its ability to provide event-triggered reporting on the same time slot where the UL resources for reporting are scheduled. In some example embodiments, the UE can indicate a limitation that it cannot perform a report scheduled on the same time slot as the PDCCH that scheduled the report.

[0112] According to another example embodiment, the time interval between the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) allocating the UL resource (second UL signal) for event-triggered reporting and the start of the reporting timing (i.e., the UL resource / second UL signal) can be configured (by the network) as follows: N A number of time slots.

[0113] In some example embodiments, the UE may instruct it to be able to do so later than the PDCCH (which schedules UL resources for the report). N The ability to provide event-triggered reporting capabilities on each time slot.N It can be, for example, N=0,1,2,3,4,... or (N=1,2,3...).

[0114] In some example embodiments, the UE may indicate its ability to support the same time slot scheduling for event-triggered reporting.

[0115] In some example embodiments, the UE may indicate its ability to support cross-slot scheduling of event-triggered reports.

[0116] In some example embodiments, the UE may indicate its ability to schedule event-triggered reports across time slots.

[0117] In some example embodiments, cross-slot scheduling may refer to: an event-triggered report not being sent on the same time slot in the PDCCH where the UL resource for the event-triggered report is triggered and / or the timing of the report is also sent.

[0118] In some example embodiments, the UE may indicate a preference for the time interval between the PDCCH (which schedules UL resources for reporting) and the UL resources (which provide event-triggered reporting). This preference may be expressed in time slots.

[0119] In some example embodiments, the UE may receive a configuration for providing a time interval value for event-triggered reporting. In one example, this time interval value may be represented in a time slot. In another example, the configuration may include... N The values ​​of each time slot (N=0,1,2,3,4,...). The UE can be configured to report data later than the PDCCH (which schedules the UL resources used for reporting). N The event-triggered report is sent on each time slot. This value... N This value can be configured in the report settings. N It can also be indicated in the DCI carried by the PDCCH used for reporting by UL resources.

[0120] In some example embodiments, the UE can receive a PDCCH for a report transmission triggered by a scheduling event, wherein the UE can send the report on a UL resource (UL slot / UL reporting timing), which is a "time interval" later than the PDCCH that schedules / triggers the report transmission. The UE can send the report on a PDCCH later than the one scheduled for the UL resource used for the report. N The event-triggered report is sent on each time slot.

[0121] According to an example embodiment, the PDCCH that schedules UL resources for the report may include a PDCCH that indicates the timing / resource / slot for providing the report.

[0122] According to an example embodiment, the PDCCH may carry a DCI that triggers a report on a UL resource.

[0123] According to an example embodiment, the PDCCH may carry a DCI indicating the UL resource to be reported.

[0124] According to an example embodiment, the PDCCH that allocates UL resources may refer to the DCI (carried by the PDCCH) that indicates reporting information.

[0125] According to an example embodiment, the PDCCH may carry a DCI indicating reporting information. The reporting information may include at least one of the following: a time slot for reporting, a frequency resource, a reporting configuration, an identifier for the reporting configuration, an identifier for the resource to which it is scheduled to report, and an identifier for the event to which the report is configured.

[0126] Therefore, according to the example embodiment, advantageously, efficient resource allocation in a UE-based system is enabled.

[0127] Furthermore, according to the example embodiment, advantageously, efficient resource allocation and configuration for event-based reporting is enabled. When scheduling resources for terminals, the network can be enabled to adapt to (and potentially exhaust) the capabilities of the terminals without considering the worst-case scenario (the terminal with the lowest capability).
