[0020] The following describes some of the details relating to the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] 1. Beam Measurement and Beam Reporting.

[0022] Analog beamforming transmits at full bandwidth, and each polarization array element on each high-frequency antenna array panel can transmit an analog beam only in a time-division multiplexed manner. The analog beamforming weights can be achieved by adjusting the parameters of devices such as phase shifters in the high-frequency front end.

[0023] The analog beamforming vector training can be performed by a polling method, that is, the array elements of each polarization direction on each antenna panel sequentially transmit training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) at a predetermined time in a time-division multiplexing manner, and the terminals feed back beam reports after measurements, so that the network (i.e., network side equipment) can use the training signals to realize analog beam transmission during the next service transmission. The contents of the beam report generally include multiple optimal transmission beam identifiers and the measured received power of the beam link where each transmission beam is located.

[0024] During beam measurement, the network configures a reference signal resource set (RS resource set), which includes at least one reference signal resource (RS resource) or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource, such as a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SS / PBCH block, SSB) resource. The UE measures the Layer 1 (L1)-reference signal received power (RSRP) or L1-signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR) of each RS resource and reports at least one optimal measurement result to the network, including a synchronization signal block resource indicator (SSB Resource Indicator, SSBRI) or a channel state information reference signal resource indicator (CSI-RS Resource Indicator, CRI) and L1-RSRP or L1-SINR. The report reflects at least one optimal beam and its quality, and the network uses it to determine a beam for transmitting a channel or signal to the UE.

[0025] Second, L1-SINR.

[0026] During beam measurement, the commonly used beam quality evaluation parameter is L1-RSRP. To further improve the accuracy of beam measurement and selection, especially in the multi-cell, multi-user, multi-beam case, a new parameter, L1-SINR, has been introduced.

[0027] When the network configures the CSI-report configuration (ReportConfig), it configures the upper layer parameter "reportQuantity" therein as cri-SINR or ssb-Index-SINR, i.e., instructs the UE to measure and report the L1-SINR of the beam.

[0028] It is supported for the network to configure the UE to report up to N SSBRI / CRI and their corresponding L1-SINR values ​​in one beam reporting instance, where N is configured by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling and the possible values ​​are {1, 2, 3, 4}.

[0029] It is supported for the base station to configure L1-SINR based beam reporting to be non-group based beam reporting and group based beam reporting.

[0030] If the network configures only one resource setting, the resource setting is indicated by the upper layer parameter "resourcesForChannelMeasurement", and both channel measurement and interference measurement use the non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS in the resource setting. The NZP CSI-RS resource is 1-port and has a density of 3 resource elements (REs) per resource block (RB).

[0031] When the network configures two resource settings, the first resource setting is indicated by the upper layer parameter "resourcesForChannelMeasurement," and channel measurement uses SSB or NZP CSI-RS in the resource setting. The second resource setting is indicated by the upper layer parameter "interfering channel state information interference measurement resources (csi-IM-ResourcesForInterference)" or "interfering non-zero power channel state information reference signal resources (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourcesForInterference)," and interference measurement uses channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) or NZP CSI-RS in the resource setting, where the NZP CSI-RS resource is 1-port and has a density of 3 REs / RB.

[0032] Each SSB or NZP CSI-RS resource for channel measurement is associated with one CSI-IM resource or NZP CSI-RS resource for interference measurement, the correlation depends on the order of each RS resource in the channel measurement resource set and the order of each RS resource in the interference measurement resource set, and the number of RS resources in the two resource sets is equal.

[0033] The UE determines the associated QCL-Type D of the CSI-IM resource or NZP CSI-RS resource for interference measurement using the Quasi Co-Location (QCL)-Type D RS of the SSB or NZP CSI-RS resource for channel measurement as the reference RS.

[0034] The UE may expect that the NZP CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement and the NZP CSI-RS resource set for interference measurement are arranged with a repetition of higher layer parameters.

[0035] For L1-SINR measurement with dedicated interference measurement resources, a UE may assume: the total received power on dedicated NZP CSI-RS resource for interference measurement [and / or] dedicated CSI-IM resource for interference measurement corresponds to interference and noise.

[0036] If the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter groupBasedBeamReporting set to 'disabled', the UE shall report in a single report nrofReportedRSForSINR (higher layer configured) different CRI or SSBRI for each report setting.

[0037] If the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter 'groupBasedBeamReporting' set to 'enabled', the UE shall report in a single reporting instance two different CRI or SSBRI for each report setting, where CSI-RS and / or SSB resources can be received simultaneously by the UE.

[0038] For channel measurement, the UE may be configured with CSI-RS resource setting with up to 16 resource sets, with a total of up to 64 CSI-RS resources or up to 64 SS / PBCH block resources.

[0039] When the gNB configures the UE to report L1-SINR corresponding to SSBRI / CRI, it uses a differential SINR reporting format, where SINR #1 is the largest SINR among the reported SINRs, and Differential SINR #N is determined by the difference between the measured SINR corresponding to CRI / SSBRI #N and the measured SINR corresponding to CRI / SSBRI #1.

[0040] When one CSI report is configured so that reportQuantity is "ssb-Index-SINR" or "cri-SINR", the number of CSI processing units (CPU) is 1.

[0041] The time requirement for L1-SINR measurement is Z=Z1, and Z'=Z1' will be specifically explained below.

[0042] When a CSI request field in the Downlink Control Information (DCI) triggers one or more CSI reports to be transmitted on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the UE should provide a valid CSI report if the following conditions are met:

[0043] TIFF0007783941000001.tif132160

[0044] A schematic diagram of the aperiodic CSI reporting trigger time sequence can be seen in Figure 2. As shown in Figure 2, Z includes all Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols included in time length T, and Z' includes all OFDM symbols included in time length T'.

[0045] Here, the start time of the time length T is the OFDM symbol following the last OFDM symbol of the PDCCH that triggers the CSI report, and the end time is Z ref The start time of the time length T' is the OFDM symbol following the last OFDM symbol of the CSI-IM, and the end time is Z' ref is the OFDM symbol in which

[0046] Table 1 shows the CSI computation delay requirements.

[0047] Table 1 CSI calculation time length request TIFF0007783941000002.tif58161

[0048] In Table 1, (Z1, Z'1) satisfies the following: if the CSI to be transmitted corresponds to wideband frequency-granularity where the reportQuantity is set to 'ssb-Index-SINR', or reportQuantity is set to 'cri-SINR', and μ PDCCH corresponds to the subcarrier spacing of the PDCCH used for DCI transmission, and μ UL corresponds to the subcarrier spacing of the PUSCH used for CSI reports awaiting transmission, and μ CSI-RS corresponds to the minimum subcarrier spacing of the aperiodic CSI-RS triggered by DCI, where μ is (μ PDCCH ,μ CSI-RS ,μ UL μ corresponds to the min (μ PDCCH , μ CSI-RS , μ UL ) where the μ PDCCH corresponds to the subcarrier spacing of the PDCCH with which the DCI was transmitted and μ ULcorresponds to the subcarrier spacing of the PUSCH with which the CSI report is to be transmitted and μ CSI-RS corresponds to the minimum subcarrier spacing of the aperiodic CSI-RS triggered by the DCI).

[0049] It should be noted that in the examples of the present application: The recorded QCL information includes at least one of first type QCL information and second type QCL information, where the first type QCL information is beam information and the second type QCL information includes at least one of time domain information and frequency domain information. The first type QCL information may include QCL-Type D information, and the second type QCL information may include at least one of QCL-Type A information, QCL-Type B information, and QCL-Type C information.

Uplink beam information may generally be represented as spatial relation information.

[0051] The described antenna panels may also be referred to as antenna groups, antenna port groups, antenna sets, antenna port sets, beam sets, beam subsets, antenna arrays, antenna port arrays, antenna subarrays, antenna port subarrays, logical entities, entities, or antenna entities, etc.

[0052] The panel identifier may be an antenna panel identifier, a reference signal resource identifier, a reference signal resource set identifier, a TCI state identifier, a beam information identifier, a spatial relationship identifier, etc.

[0053] The first RS may be the CMR. The CMR may correspond to an RS resource indicated in the higher layer parameter “resourcesForChannelMeasurement” in the protocol, such as a non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS resource.

[0054] The second RS may be the IMR. In the protocol, the IMR may correspond to CSI-IM resources indicated by the higher layer parameter “csi-IM-ResourcesForInterference”, which may be referred to as Zero Power (ZP) IMR, or may correspond to NZP CSI-RS resources indicated by the higher layer parameter “nzp-CSI-RS-ResourcesForInterference”, which may be referred to as NZP IMR.

[0055] The object described may be a cell, a physical cell, a TRP or a beam.

[0056] The described own cell of the terminal may be referred to as the serving cell of the terminal, the current cell of the terminal, the current serving cell of the terminal, the primary cell of the terminal, etc.

[0057] The described neighboring cells of the terminal may be referred to as non-serving cells of the terminal, non-own cells of the terminal, non-current cells of the terminal, non-current serving cells of the terminal, secondary cells of the terminal, etc.

[0058] The described measuring RS may be referred to as the receiving RS.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a flowchart of the measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The measurement method of the embodiment of the present application may be performed by a terminal.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 3, the measurement method may include the following steps 301 and 302.

[0061] In step 301, first parameter information corresponding to a first target reference signal RS is obtained, and the first target RS includes at least one of a first RS and a second RS, the first RS is for channel measurement, the second RS is for interference measurement, the first RS and the second RS are associated, and the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the fact that the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information can reflect that the transmission paths of the first RS and the second RS from the network side equipment to the terminal, the beam information of the first RS and the second RS, etc. are different.

[0063] Optionally, the first information may include at least one of cell identifier information, physical cell identifier (PCI) information, transmission / reception point TRP identifier information, frequency point information, subcarrier spacing (SCS) information, numerology information, timing advance (TA) information, and QCL information.

[0064] In specific implementation, the cell identifier information may be a cell index or a cell ID, and the TRP identifier information may be a TRP ID or an upper layer parameter "CORESETPoolIndex".

[0065] The first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS may be all or part of the parameter information corresponding to the first target RS.

[0066] Optionally, the first parameter information may include at least one of timing information and quasi-co-location QCL information; The QCL information includes at least one of a first type of QCL information and a second type of QCL information, the first type of QCL information being beam information, and the second type of QCL information including at least one of time domain information and frequency domain information.

[0067] Furthermore, when the first parameter information includes timing information, the first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS is timing information associated with a first object, which is an object where the first target RS is located; timing information associated with first information corresponding to the first target RS; timing information associated with a second object, which is an object associated with first information corresponding to the first target RS; The object may be a cell, a physical cell, a transmission / reception point TRP or a beam.

[0068] When the first target RS includes the first RS and the second RS, it can be understood that the specific expression formats of the first parameter information corresponding to the first RS and the second parameter information corresponding to the second RS are the same, for example, when the first parameter information corresponding to the first RS includes timing information, the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS includes timing information.

[0069] In step 302, the second RS is measured using first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, in the first mode, the terminal can directly measure the second RS according to the first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS.

[0071] In the second method, the terminal can indirectly measure the second RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS, and optionally, the terminal can measure the second RS using second parameter information determined based on the first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS.

[0072] In practical applications, the first method can be applied to a first scenario, and the second method can be applied to a second scenario, but are not limited thereto. Here, the first scenario refers to a scenario in which the network side device does not adjust the transmission time of the second RS, and the first RS and the second RS reach the terminal at different times due to different routes taken by the first RS and the second RS to reach the terminal. The second scenario may refer to a scenario in which the network side device adjusts the transmission time of the second RS so that the times taken by the first RS and the second RS to reach the terminal are close, or even the same, in some cases. In a specific implementation, the network side device can adjust the transmission time of the second RS by advancing or delaying the transmission time of the second RS, which can be determined according to actual circumstances, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0073] According to the measurement method of the embodiment of the present application, for a first RS for channel measurement and a second RS for interference measurement that are correlated, when the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information, the terminal can measure the second RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first RS and / or the second RS, thereby solving the problem of measuring the second RS when the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information.

[0074] First, the following describes the embodiment of the present application in which "the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information."

[0075] Optionally, the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information, The target information associated with the first RS and the second RS may be represented by corresponding to different first information; The target information includes at least one of QCL information, resource allocation information, second information of the resource allocation information, and a source RS of the QCL information; The second information is timing information or a parameter indicating timing information.

[0076] This will be specifically explained as follows.

[0077] 1) The QCL information associated with the first RS and the second RS includes different first information.

[0078] For example, the parameter TCI-State or QCL-Info associated with the first RS includes PCI1, and the parameter TCI-State or QCL-Info associated with the second RS includes PCI2.

[0079] 2) The resource allocation information associated with the first RS and the second RS includes different first information.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the first information may be carried in information of each layer in resource configuration information associated with an RS. For example, if resource configuration information (e.g., resource setting or CSI-ResourceConfig) of an RS may include an NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet, and the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet may further include an NZP-CSI-RS-Resource, the first information may be carried in the CSI-ResourceConfig, NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet, or NZP-CSI-RS-Resource of the RS. This is specifically described as follows:

[0081] In a first implementation, the CSI-ResourceConfig associated with the first RS and the second RS includes different first information, for example, the CSI-ResourceConfig of the first RS includes PCI1 and the CSI-ResourceConfig of the first RS includes PCI2.

[0082] In a second implementation, the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSets associated with the first RS and the second RS include different first information, e.g., the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet of the first RS includes PCI1, and the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet of the second RS includes PCI2.

[0083] In a third implementation, the NZP-CSI-RS-Resource associated with the first RS and the second RS includes different first information, e.g., the NZP-CSI-RS-Resource of the first RS includes PCI1, and the NZP-CSI-RS-Resource of the second RS includes PCI2.

[0084] 3) The second information of the resource allocation information associated with the first RS and the second RS corresponds to different first information, and the second information is timing information or a parameter indicating timing information.

[0085] In a specific implementation, the resource allocation information associated with the first RS and the second RS may include different second information corresponding to different first information.

[0086] For example, the resource setting of the first RS includes a parameter 1 indicating timing information 1, and the resource setting of the second RS includes a parameter 2 indicating timing information 2, wherein timing information 1 corresponds to PCI1 and timing information 2 corresponds to PCI2.

[0087] In this way, the terminal can know that the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information by the second information included in the resource allocation information associated with the first RS and the second RS.

[0088] It is understood that the carrying position of the second information in the resource allocation information can refer to the carrying position of the first information in the resource allocation information, and can be specifically determined according to actual circumstances, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0089] 4) The source RS of the QCL information associated with the first RS and the second RS corresponds to different first information.

[0090] For example, the QCL Source RS associated with the first RS is SSB1 / TRS1, and the QCL Source RS associated with the second RS is SSB2 / TRS2, where SSB1 / TRS1 corresponds to PCI1, and SSB2 / TRS2 corresponds to PCI2.

[0091] In a specific implementation, the first information corresponding to the first target RS and the second target RS may be configured by a network side device. Optionally, before measuring the second target RS according to first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS, the method may include: The method further includes a step of receiving configuration information, wherein the configuration information is for instructing the terminal to measure and report a Layer 1 signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (L1-SINR), and the configuration information includes first information corresponding to the first RS and the second RS, and the first information corresponding to the first RS and the second RS is different.

[0092] In this alternative embodiment, when implemented, the L1-SINR report indicated in the configuration information may be an inter-cell, inter-physical cell or inter-TRP L1-SINR report.

[0093] The configuration information may include a first resource setting associated with the first RS and a second resource setting associated with the second RS. The first RS configured in the first resource setting and the second RS configured in the second resource setting are correlated, and there is at least one first RS and one second RS associated therewith that correspond to different first information.

[0094] Second, the following describes "measuring the second RS according to the first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS" in the embodiment of the present application.

[0095] As can be seen from the above, in the first method, the terminal can measure the second RS directly using first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS. In the second method, the terminal can measure the second RS indirectly using first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS. Specific implementations of the first and second methods will be described below.

[0096] The first method may include the following embodiments when specifically implemented:

[0097] In the first embodiment, the terminal can directly measure the second RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first RS, and obtain the interference measurement result of the second RS.

[0098] In the second embodiment, the terminal can directly measure the second RS using the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS, and obtain the interference measurement result of the second RS.

[0099] In the third embodiment, the terminal can directly measure the second RS using the first parameter information corresponding to the first RS and the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS, and obtain the interference measurement result of the second RS.

[0100] For ease of understanding, an example will be given below.

[0101] Assume that the first RS is transmitted from TRP1 to the terminal and the second RS is transmitted from TRP2 to the terminal. TRP1 corresponds to PCI1 and TRP2 corresponds to PCI2. Since the transmission paths between TRP1 and the terminal and between TRP1 and TRP2 are different, the timing information corresponding to the first RS and the second RS is different.

[0102] As shown in Figure 4, it is assumed that the times when the terminal receives the first symbol of the i-th first RS are T1 and T2, and the times when the terminal receives the first symbol of the i-th second RS are T3 and T4, with T3 being between T1 and T2 and T4 being after T2. The i-th second RS arrives at the terminal later than the i-th first RS.

[0103] In the above first embodiment, the terminal may use a first Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) window to measure the symbol of the i-th second RS, where the first FFT window is an FFT window for measuring the symbol of the i-th first RS. At this time, the terminal may use the first FFT window to measure some symbols between T3 and T2 of the i-th second RS, or may use the first FFT window to measure some symbols in the first FFT window of the (i-1)-th second RS and some symbols in the first FFT window of the i-th second RS.

[0104] In the second embodiment, the terminal can measure the i-th second RS using a second FFT window, where the second FFT window is an FFT window for measuring the symbol of the i-th second RS, and the terminal can measure the complete i-th second RS using the second FFT window, i.e., measure all symbols of the i-th second RS.

[0105] In the third embodiment, the terminal can measure the i-th second RS using the first FFT window and the second FFT window.

[0106] In a second method, the step of selectively measuring the second RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS includes: acquiring second parameter information, the second parameter information being determined based on first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS; measuring the second RS using the second parameter information.

[0107] The expression format of the second parameter information is the same as the expression format of the first parameter information. For example, if the first parameter information is timing information or a second type of QCL information, the second parameter information is also timing information or a second type of QCL information.

[0108] As can be seen from the above, the second method can be applied to a second scenario, in which the network side device can adjust the transmission time of the second RS so that the times at which the first RS and the second RS reach the terminal are close to each other, or even the same, and therefore the value of the second parameter information can be close to or equal to the value of the first parameter information corresponding to the first RS.

[0109] In particular, when the first RS and the second RS arrive at the terminal at the same time, the first parameter information corresponding to the first RS may be directly determined as the second parameter information. When the first RS and the second RS arrive at the terminal at similar but different times, the second parameter information may be determined based on the first parameter information and offset parameter information corresponding to the first RS, where the offset parameter information may be specified by a protocol or configured by a network side device.

[0110] It should be noted that the manner in which the terminal acquires the second parameter information may be by reception, for example, the network side device may acquire the second parameter information and then transmit the second parameter information to the terminal. In this case, the network side device may acquire the second parameter information based on the first parameter information corresponding to the first RS and / or the second RS reported by the terminal (for example, the value or difference of the first parameter information corresponding to two RSs). In this way, the operating load of the terminal can be reduced.

[0111] Of course, in other embodiments, the manner in which the terminal acquires the second parameter information may be by processing the first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS, for example, the terminal learns the first parameter information corresponding to the first RS and / or the second RS through an action such as measurement, and determines the second parameter information based on a manner predefined with the network side device, in this way the network side device does not need to transmit the second parameter information to the terminal, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

[0112] Third, the following will describe "obtaining first parameter information corresponding to the first target reference signal RS".

[0113] Optionally, when the first target RS includes the second RS, the step of acquiring first parameter information corresponding to a first target reference signal RS includes: determining, by the first RS, first parameter information corresponding to the second RS; and determining, by the first RS, first parameter information corresponding to the second RS when a first condition is satisfied.

[0114] In this alternative embodiment, the main differences between the two above are as follows:

[0115] In the first term, the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS is determined based on the first RS at any time, that is, the determination of the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS is always associated with the first RS.

[0116] In the second term, the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS is determined based on the first RS only when a predetermined condition is met, that is, the determination of the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS is associated with the first RS only when a predetermined condition is met, otherwise the determination of the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS may not be associated with the first RS.

[0117] Regarding the second paragraph, it is necessary to explain that the condition to be satisfied for determining the timing information corresponding to the second RS based on the first RS and the condition to be satisfied for determining the QCL information corresponding to the second RS based on the first RS may be the same or different. To distinguish between the conditions to be satisfied by both, the first condition may include a first sub-condition corresponding to the timing information and a second sub-condition corresponding to the QCL information.

[0118] Optionally, when the first parameter information is QCL information, the satisfaction of the first condition may include the QCL information corresponding to the first RS being different from default QCL information. That is, the satisfaction of the second sub-condition may include the QCL information corresponding to the first RS being different from default QCL information. However, it should be understood that the expression that the second sub-condition is satisfied is merely an example, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to specific expressions that the first sub-condition is satisfied and specific expressions that the second sub-condition is satisfied.

[0119] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the determination of the first parameter information corresponding to the second RS may not be associated with the first RS at any time, for example, timing information corresponding to the second RS may be measured by a terminal, and QCL information corresponding to the second RS may be configured by a network side device.

[0120] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the method of obtaining timing information corresponding to the second RS is as follows: a) determining timing information corresponding to the second RS based on the first RS; b) obtaining timing information corresponding to the second RS by measuring it with the terminal; c) determining timing information corresponding to the second RS based on the first RS when a first sub-condition is satisfied; d) if the first sub-condition is not satisfied, obtaining timing information corresponding to the second RS by measuring it by the terminal.

[0121] It should be noted that a) or c) may be applied to a situation in which the terminal measures timing information corresponding to the second RS, or may be applied to a situation in which the terminal does not measure timing information corresponding to the second RS. In a situation in which the terminal measures timing information corresponding to the second RS, the terminal may obtain timing information corresponding to the second RS obtained by measurement, or may obtain timing information corresponding to the second RS determined based on the first RS. When measuring the second RS, the terminal selects to use the timing information corresponding to the second RS determined based on the first RS.

[0122] The method for acquiring QCL information corresponding to the second RS is as follows: a) determining QCL information corresponding to the second RS based on the first RS; b) configuring QCL information corresponding to the second RS by a network side device; c) determining QCL information corresponding to the second RS based on the first RS when a second sub-condition is satisfied; d) if the second sub-condition is not satisfied, configuring QCL information corresponding to the second RS by a network side device.

[0123] It should be noted that a) or c) may be applied to a scenario in which the network side device configures QCL information corresponding to the second RS, or may be applied to a scenario in which the network side device does not configure QCL information corresponding to the second RS. In a scenario in which the network side device configures QCL information corresponding to the second RS, the terminal may acquire QCL information corresponding to the second RS configured by the network side device, or may acquire QCL information corresponding to the first RS determined based on the second RS. When measuring the second RS, the terminal chooses to use the QCL information corresponding to the second RS determined based on the first RS.

[0124] Optionally, when the first parameter information includes timing information, the step of determining, from the first RS, first parameter information corresponding to the second RS comprises: This alternative embodiment includes a step in which the terminal is able to measure the second RS using timing information corresponding to the first RS.

[0125] Optionally, when the first parameter information includes QCL information, the step of determining, by the first RS, first parameter information corresponding to the second RS includes: When the first RS is a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SSB), determining the first RS or a first tracking reference signal (TRS) as QCL information corresponding to the second RS, wherein the first TRS is a TRS corresponding to the first RS; and if the first RS is a non-zero power NZP channel state information CSI-RS, determining QCL information corresponding to the first RS as QCL information corresponding to the second RS.

[0126] As can be seen from the above, the QCL information in the embodiment of the present invention includes first and second types of QCL information. When the first RS is SSB, the first and second types of QCL information may be determined in different ways, as will be described in detail below.

[0127] For the first type of QCL information, the step of determining the first RS or the first tracking reference signal TRS as QCL information corresponding to the second RS may be specifically expressed by determining SSB as the first type of QCL information corresponding to the second RS.

[0128] For the first type of QCL information, the step of determining the first RS or the first tracking reference signal TRS as QCL information corresponding to the second RS may be specifically expressed by determining an SSB or a TRS associated with an SSB as the first type of QCL information corresponding to the second RS.

[0129] In the embodiments of the present application, the RS may be a periodic RS, an aperiodic RS or a semi-persistent RS. The following describes the determination of QCL information corresponding to the aperiodic RS and the semi-persistent RS, respectively.

[0130] Optionally, when the first parameter information includes QCL information, the first target RS is an aperiodic RS, and the first target RS corresponds to first information of a neighboring cell of the terminal, the step of acquiring first parameter information corresponding to a first target reference signal RS includes: determining QCL information corresponding to the first target RS according to a target trigger offset value and a target predetermined threshold value when the first target RS is triggered by first downlink control information DCI; The target trigger offset value is a first trigger offset value or a second trigger offset value, the first trigger offset value corresponds to the terminal's own cell, and the second trigger offset value corresponds to the terminal's neighboring cell; the target predetermined threshold is a first predetermined threshold or a second predetermined threshold, the first predetermined threshold corresponds to the terminal's own cell, and the second predetermined threshold corresponds to the terminal's neighboring cell.

[0131] Furthermore, the step of determining QCL information corresponding to the first target RS according to a target trigger offset value and a target predetermined threshold value includes: If the first value is smaller than the second value, setting default QCL information as QCL information corresponding to the first target RS; and when the first value is equal to or greater than the second value, setting the QCL information indicated by the first DCI to QCL information corresponding to the first target RS; The first value and the second value are the first value is the sum of the first trigger offset value and the first offset value, and the second value is the first predetermined threshold value; the first value is the first trigger offset value, and the second value is the sum of the first predetermined threshold value and a second offset value; the first value is the first trigger offset value and the second value is the second predetermined threshold value; the first value is the second trigger offset value and the second value is the first predetermined threshold value; the first value is the second trigger offset value, and the second value is the second predetermined threshold value; Both the first offset value and the second offset value are determined based on the delay required for beam switching.

[0132] In concrete implementation, the first offset value and the second offset value may be predefined in a protocol or configured by a network device.

[0133] In an embodiment of the present application, the RS corresponding to the first information of the neighboring cell of the terminal is such that the corresponding trigger offset value (corresponding to the above-mentioned first value) and the predetermined threshold value (corresponding to the above-mentioned second value) are: the first trigger offset value and a first predetermined threshold value; the first trigger offset value and a second predetermined threshold value; the second trigger offset value and a first predetermined threshold value; and The second trigger offset value may be determined based on one of the second trigger offset value and the second predetermined threshold value.

[0134] Since the RS corresponds to first information of the neighboring cell of the terminal, when the QCL information corresponding to the RS is based on the first trigger offset value and a first predetermined threshold, the first trigger offset value and / or the first predetermined threshold may be increased by one offset value so that the trigger offset value corresponding to the RS becomes the predetermined threshold. It should be noted that when the first trigger offset value and the first predetermined threshold are increased by one offset value, the offset values ​​increased by the first trigger offset value and the first predetermined threshold may be different.

[0135] In an embodiment of the present application, in an optional embodiment, when a trigger offset value corresponding to an RS is smaller than a predetermined threshold value corresponding to the RS, the terminal can receive the RS according to the default QCL information and timing information of the terminal's own cell.

[0136] For example, when DCI triggers aperiodic CSI-RS of a neighboring cell, the trigger offset value (trigger offset) between the DCI and aperiodic CSI-RS is smaller than a predetermined threshold, and default QCL information needs to be used.

[0137] If the time it takes for a signal from a neighboring cell to reach the UE is longer than the time it takes for a signal from the own cell to reach the UE, for example, there is a timing difference, then the UE may receive aperiodic CSI-RS from the neighboring cell using the timing information and default QCL information of the own cell.

[0138] Optionally, when the first parameter information includes QCL information, the first target RS is a semi-persistent RS, and the first target RS corresponds to first information of a neighboring cell of the terminal, the step of obtaining first parameter information corresponding to a first target reference signal RS includes: When the first target RS is activated by a first medium access control (MAC) control unit CE command, determining that QCL information of the first target RS is valid QCL information if it is after a target effective time domain resource, wherein the target effective time domain resource is determined based on a reference effective time domain resource and a third offset value; The reference effective time domain resource corresponds to the terminal's own cell, and the third offset value is determined based on at least one of the delay in the network side equipment sending the first MAC CE command to the terminal, the delay in the terminal sending confirmation information of the first MAC CE command to the network side equipment, the delay required for beam switching, and the delay in the network side equipment sending an RS to the terminal in the terminal's neighboring cell.

[0139] In concrete implementation, the third offset value may be predefined in a protocol or configured by a network device.

[0140] In this optional embodiment, the first MAC CE command may be a MAC CE command for activating resources of the first target RS, or may be a MAC CE command for activating QCL information of the first target RS, which can be specifically determined according to actual circumstances, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0141] In this optional embodiment, the reference effective time domain resource corresponds to the terminal's own cell, that is, when the RS corresponding to the first information of the terminal's own cell is after the reference effective time domain resource, it can be determined that its QCL information is valid QCL information, but when the RS corresponding to the first information of the terminal's neighboring cell is after the target effective reference time domain resource to determine that its QCL information is valid QCL information, the target effective time domain resource is a resource determined based on the reference effective time domain resource and a third offset value.

[0142] For ease of understanding, an example will be given below.

[0143] Assume that the reference effective time domain resource is slot 4 and the third offset value is 2 slots. RS1 corresponds to the first information of the terminal's own cell, and RS2 corresponds to the first information of the terminal's neighboring cell. Thus, RS1 can use the activated QCL information when it is after slot 4, and RS2 can use the activated QCL information when it is after slot 6.

[0144] The following describes the transmission of the channels and RSs corresponding to the first RS and the second RS.

[0145] Optionally, the method further comprises: Stopping the execution of the fourth information transmission or reception operation during a first time period; performing a fifth information transmission or reception operation during a first time interval; performing rate matching on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in the first time interval; The first time interval is associated with the transmission time of a second target RS, the fourth information is a channel or RS of a third target, the fifth information is a channel or RS of the third target that has a QCL relationship with the second target RS, the third target is a cell, physical cell, TRP or beam corresponding to the third target RS, the third target RS is one of the first RS and the second RS, and the second target RS is the other of the first RS and the second RS.

[0146] Furthermore, the first time interval a first transmission time that is a transmission time of the second target RS, and a first offset time that includes at least one of a first sub-offset time and a second sub-offset time; The first sub-offset time is located before the first transmission time and is contiguous with the first transmission time, and the second sub-offset time is located after the first transmission time and is contiguous with the first transmission time.

[0147] Furthermore, when the second target RS is the second RS, the transmission time of the second target RS is timing information corresponding to the second RS; and The timing information is determined based on at least one item of timing information corresponding to the first RS.

[0148] In this optional embodiment, when the first time interval includes the transmission time of the first RS, the terminal may stop performing transmission or reception operations for all or some of the "channels or RSs" that correspond to the second RS, or may only perform transmission or reception operations for the "channels or RSs" that have a QCL relationship with the first RS in the target that corresponds to the second RS.

[0149] On the other hand, when the first time interval includes the transmission time of the second RS, the terminal may stop performing transmission or reception operations for all or some of the "channels or RSs" corresponding to the first RS, or may only perform transmission or reception operations for the "channels or RSs" that have a QCL relationship with the second RS in the target corresponding to the first RS.

[0150] In this way, transmission interference can be reduced and transmission efficiency can be increased.

[0151] Optionally, the method further comprises: Stopping the execution of the measurement operation of the sixth information within the second time interval; performing a measurement operation of the seventh information within the second time interval; The second time interval is associated with the transmission time of a fourth target channel or RS, the sixth information is a fifth target RS, the seventh information is an RS among the fifth target RSs that has a QCL relationship with the fourth target channel or RS, the fourth target is a cell, physical cell, TRP or beam corresponding to the fourth target RS, the fourth target RS is one of the first RS and the second RS, and the fifth target RS is the other of the first RS and the second RS.

[0152] Furthermore, the second time period a second transmission time, which is a transmission time of the fourth target channel or RS, and a second offset time, which includes at least one of a third sub-offset time and a fourth sub-offset time; The third sub-offset time is located before the second transmission time and is contiguous with the second transmission time, and the fourth sub-offset time is located after the second transmission time and is contiguous with the second transmission time.

[0153] In this optional embodiment, when the first time interval includes the transmission time of the target channel or RS corresponding to the first RS, the terminal may stop performing measurement operations on all or part of the second RS, or may perform only measurement operations on the second RS that has a QCL relationship with the target channel or RS corresponding to the first RS.

[0154] On the other hand, when the first time interval includes the transmission time of the target channel or RS corresponding to the second RS, the terminal may stop performing the measurement operation of all or part of the first RS, or may perform only the measurement operation of the first RS that has a QCL relationship with the target channel or RS corresponding to the second RS.

[0155] In this way, transmission interference can be reduced and transmission efficiency can be increased.

[0156] The measurement time of the second RS will be described below.

[0157] Optionally, the step of measuring the second RS according to first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS includes: measuring the second RS according to first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS during an operation period of the CSI processing unit; The operating time length of the CSI processing unit is: A first (Z1, Z'1) which is one of the T (Z1, Z'1) with the largest value among the Q candidates (Z1, Z'1); a third (Z1, Z'1) that is any one (Z1, Z'1) among the Q candidates (Z1, Z'1) and a second (Z1, Z'1) that is determined based on a fourth offset value; T and Q are positive integers, and the fourth offset value is determined based on the delay required for beam switching.

[0158] For ease of understanding, an example will be given below with reference to Table 1.

[0159] The first (Z1, Z'1) may be (Z1, Z'1) corresponding to μ=3, that is, (97, 85).

[0160] The second (Z1, Z'1) may be obtained by increasing delta to the corresponding (Z1, Z'1) when μ=0, respectively, ie, (22+delta, 16+delta).

[0161] The following describes the measurement of the first RS described in the examples of this application.

[0162] Optionally, the method further comprises: The method further includes measuring the first RS according to first parameter information corresponding to the first RS.

[0163] In this optional embodiment, the terminal measures the first RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first RS to obtain a channel measurement result of the first RS, measures the second RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first target RS to obtain an interference measurement result of the second RS, and then obtains an L1-SINR measurement result corresponding to the first RS and the second RS using the channel measurement result of the first RS and the interference measurement result of the second RS.

[0164] In this way, for a first RS for channel measurement and a second RS for interference measurement that are correlated, when the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information, the terminal can measure the first RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first RS and measure the second RS using first parameter information corresponding to the first RS and / or the second RS, thereby solving the measurement problem of the first RS and the second RS when the first RS and the second RS correspond to different first information, and obtaining L1-SINR measurement results corresponding to the first RS and the second RS.

[0190] Since this embodiment is an embodiment of a network-side device corresponding to the method embodiment of Fig. 3, it is necessary to note that reference may be made to the relevant description in the method embodiment of Fig. 3, and similar beneficial effects can be achieved, so detailed descriptions will be omitted here to avoid repetition.

[0191] It should be noted that the various optional embodiments introduced in the examples of this application may be realized in combination with each other or may be realized alone, and the examples of this application are not limited thereto.

[0192] For ease of understanding, an example will be given below.

[0193] Examples of this may include:

[0194] (1) The network sends the L1-SINR report configuration information to the UE.

[0195] a) The configuration information may indicate L1-SINR reporting between cells, between physical cells, or between multiple TRPs.

[0196] b) The network configures resource settings of the CMR and the IMR, and the resource setting of the CMR and the resource setting of the IMR include at least one CMR corresponding to different first information and one IMR associated therewith.

[0197] i. The first information may be cell identifier information (e.g., cell index, cell ID), PCI, TRP identifier information (e.g., TRP ID, upper layer parameter CORESETPoolIndex), frequency point information, subcarrier spacing SCS information, numerology information, TA information, or beam information.

[0198] ii. The TCI state information or QCL information of the CMR and the IMR includes different first information.

[0199] For example, the CMR is NZP CSI-RS, the IMR is CSI-IM, and in the configuration information of the CMR, the parameter TCI-State or QCL-Info includes PCI1, and in the configuration information of the IMR, the parameter TCI-State or QCL-Info includes PCI2.

[0200] iii. The resource setting information of the CMR and the IMR includes different first information.

[0201] For example, a CSI-ReportConfig is configured by the network, in which the parameter reportQuantity is cri-SINR, which indicates L1-SINR measurement and reporting.

[0202] In the CSI-ReportConfig, the parameter resourcesForChannelMeasurement is CMR, and csi-IM-ResourcesForInterference or nzp-CSI-RS-ResourcesForInterference is CSI-IM or NZP CSI-RS.

[0203] The CSI-ResourceConfig in the CMR includes PCI1, and the CSI-ResourceConfig in the IMR includes PCI2.

[0204] iv. The resource allocation information of the CMR and the IMR includes different first information.

[0205] For example, similar to the above paragraph, PCI1 is included in the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet in the CSI-ResourceConfig of CMR, and PCI2 is included in the csi-IM-ResourceSet in the CSI-ResourceConfig of CSI-IM, or PCI2 is included in the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet in the CSI-ResourceConfig of the NZP CSI-RS for interference measurement.

[0206] Furthermore, PCI1 may be included in the NZP-CSI-RS-Resource of CMR, PCI2 may be included in the CSI-IM-Resource of CSI-IM, or PCI2 may be included in the NZP-CSI-RS-Resource of the NZP CSI-RS for interference measurement.

[0207] v. The resource setting information of the CMR and IMR contains different timing information.

[0208] For example, the resource setting of the CMR and the resource setting of the IMR each include a parameter 1 indicating the timing information of the corresponding first information of the CMR (e.g., timing information of PCI1) and a parameter 2 indicating the timing information of the corresponding first information of the IMR (e.g., timing information of PCI2).

[0209] vi. In the QCL information of the CMR and IMR, the QCL source RS is an SSB or TRS corresponding to different first information.

[0210] For example, in the TCI-State or QCL-Info of the CMR and IMR, the QCL source RS is SSB1 / TRS1 and SSB2 / TRS2, respectively, among which, SSB1 / TRS1 and SSB2 / TRS2 correspond to different first information, for example, PCI1 and PCI2, respectively.

[0211] (2) The network sends the CMR and IMR to the UE for channel measurement and interference measurement.

[0212] a) If the CMR or IMR is aperiodic and corresponds to the first information of a neighboring cell or a non-serving cell, when the network uses DCI to trigger the aperiodic RS, it does the following:

[0213] i. The first offset value is increased based on the value of the trigger offset and / or the predetermined threshold to set the trigger offset and / or the first predetermined threshold of the non-periodic RS.

[0214] 1) The trigger offset and / or the predetermined threshold value are applied to the own cell or the serving cell.

[0215] 2) The first offset value is determined according to the time required for the UE to switch parameters such as a beam.

[0216] for example, When the aperiodic CSI-RS triggered by DCI corresponds to the own cell, if the offset between the DCI and the aperiodic aperiodic CSI-RS is smaller than a predetermined threshold broadcast by the UE, default QCL information is used, and if the offset is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, QCL information indicated by the DCI is used.

[0217] In this way, when the aperiodic CSI-RS triggered by DCI corresponds to a neighboring cell, the QCL information of the aperiodic CSI-RS can be determined by comparing offset+delta with a predetermined threshold reported by the UE, or by comparing offset with a predetermined threshold+delta reported by the UE, where the first predetermined threshold is the predetermined threshold+delta reported by the UE, or by comparing offset with a first predetermined threshold reported by the UE, where the first predetermined threshold is adapted to a beam switching request when measuring the RS of the neighboring cell.

[0218] ii. Take the value using the trigger offset / first predetermined threshold that applies to neighboring cells or non-serving cells at any time.

[0219] iii. When triggering the aperiodic RS, if the trigger offset is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, receive the aperiodic RS using default TCI state information or default QCL information.

[0220] The aperiodic RS of a neighboring cell or a non-serving cell is received or buffered according to the timing information of the own cell or the serving cell.

[0221] For example, when a DCI triggers an aperiodic CSI-RS of a neighboring cell, if the offset between the DCI and the aperiodic CSI-RS is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the default QCL information needs to be used. The time it takes for a signal from the neighboring cell's TRP to reach the UE is longer than the time it takes for a signal from the host cell's TRP to reach the UE, for example, there is a timing difference. Therefore, timing information from the host cell may be used to determine when to use the default QCL information of the aperiodic CSI-RS from the neighboring cell.

[0222] b) If the CMR or IMR is semi-persistent and corresponds to the first information of a neighboring cell or a non-serving cell, the network will do the following when activating or deactivating the semi-persistent RS using MAC CE:

[0223] TIFF0007783941000003.tif33161

[0224] When a semi-persistent RS activated or deactivated by a MAC CE corresponds to a neighboring cell, the second offset value is increased based on the effective time of the semi-persistent RS activated or deactivated by the MAC CE corresponding to the host cell, and the effective time of the QCL information of the semi-persistent RS is used as the effective time, or the effective time of the semi-persistent RS is not used. The second offset value may include at least one of the following: a delay in the network sending a MAC CE command to the UE, a delay in the UE sending confirmation information to the network, a delay in the UE switching beams (to receive the RS of the neighboring cell), a delay in the network sending the RS of the neighboring cell to the UE, etc.

[0225] TIFF0007783941000004.tif37161

[0226] (3) When measuring L1-SINR, the UE determines some parameter information (may not be all parameter information) of the IMR based on some parameter information of the CMR, and performs channel measurement and interference measurement.

[0227] a) Determine the QCL information of the IMR from the CMR or from the QCL information of the CMR.

[0228] If the CMR is an SSB resource, the CMR is used for the QCL-TypeD RS of the IMR.

[0229] If the CMR is an NZP CSI-RS resource, the QCL-TypeD RS of the CMR is used for the QCL-TypeD RS of the IMR.

[0230] b) The timing information of the IMR is determined based on the timing information corresponding to the CMR.

[0231] The timing information corresponding to CMR is Timing information of the cell / physical cell / TRP where the CMR is located, Timing information of the first information corresponding to the CMR; and The timing information is any one of the timing information of the cell / physical cell / TRP corresponding to the first information corresponding to the CMR.

[0232] The timing information of the IMR has the same definition as above.

[0233] Furthermore, the determination of the timing information of the IMR may involve using the timing information of the CMR for the IMR.

[0234] c) Determine the QCL-TypeA RS of the IMR by the CMR or by the QCL-TypeA RS of the CMR.

[0235] If the CMR is SSB, the SSB or the TRS associated with the SSB is the QCL-TypeA RS of the IMR.

[0236] If the CMR is an NZP CSI-RS, the QCL-TypeA RS of the CMR is the QCL-TypeA RS of the IMR.

[0237] The QCL-TypeA RS of the CMR may be the QCL-TypeA RS in the TCI state information or QCL information of the CMR. For the IMR, refer to the above description.

[0238] This rule applies when the network does not configure the TCI state information or QCL information in the IMR, or when the network configures the TCI state information or QCL information in the IMR.

[0239] d) Performing interference measurements on the IMR may be any one of i, ii, and iii below.

[0240] i. The UE performs interference measurement on the IMR according to the timing information of the CMR and / or the timing information of the IMR.

[0241] ii. The UE performs interference measurement on the IMR using the QCL-TypeA information of the CMR and / or the QCL-TypeA information of the IMR.

[0242] iii. The UE broadcasts the timing information (difference) between the CMR and IMR or the QCL-TypeA information (difference), and the network determines the transmission time of the IMR based on the CMR timing information or the QCL-TypeA information, for example, by making it earlier or later, which causes the UE to cause interference.

[0243] For example, CMR is transmitted from TRP1 to the UE, and IMR is transmitted from TRP2 to the UE. TRP1 corresponds to PCI1, and TRP2 corresponds to PCI2. Because the paths between the two TRPs and the UE are different, the timing information is different. As shown in Figure 4, the start and end positions of the CMR symbol are T1 and T2, and the start and end positions of the IMR symbol are T3 and T4. Because the IMR arrives late, it is not possible to effectively receive and measure the IMR using the CP of the OFDM symbol. Therefore, the following methods may be used to measure interference:

[0244] The IMR is measured using the FFT window position used for measuring the symbol during CMR. At this time, the IMR symbol between T3 and T2 is measured, or the portion of the previous IMR symbol window and the portion of the current IMR symbol window are measured.

[0245] Alternatively, the FFT window position used to measure the symbol at the time of IMR is used to measure the IMR, and at this time, the complete IMR symbol is measured.

[0246] (4) Scheduling constraints and rate matching.

[0247] Within the target time Within the transmission time of the CMR, and within a predetermined time period before and / or after the transmission time, Within the transmission time of the IMR, and within a predetermined time length before and / or after the transmission time of the IMR, Within the transmission time of the CMR determined by the timing information of the CMR, and within a predetermined time length before and / or after the transmission time; Within the transmission time of the IMR determined by the timing information of the IMR, and within a predetermined time length before and / or after the transmission time; The timing information of the IMR is determined by the timing information of the CMR, and the timing information of the IMR is determined by the timing information of the CMR, and the timing information is at least one of within the transmission time of the IMR determined by the determined timing information of the IMR, and within a predetermined time length before that and / or a predetermined time length after that.

[0248] a) When the network transmits an IMR on a cell / physical cell / TRP / beam that supports the IMR, for a cell / physical cell / TRP / beam that supports the CMR, not transmitting any other channel or RS; may transmit other channels or RSs that have a QCL relationship to the IMR; and performing rate matching on the PDSCH.

[0249] b) for a cell / physical cell / TRP / beam corresponding to an IMR, within the transmission time of a CMR or other channel / signal in the cell / physical cell / TRP / beam corresponding to the CMR, and within a predetermined time length before and / or after the transmission time of the CMR or other channel / signal in the cell / physical cell / TRP / beam corresponding to the IMR, Not transmitting IMR, and may transmit CMR or IMR having a QCL relationship to other channels / signals.

[0250] (5) Time requirements for L1-SINR measurement.

[0251] To realize measurements on RSs from neighboring cells, a larger value among the (Z1, Z'1) candidate values ​​is taken, or delta is increased to the (Z1, Z'1) value.

[0252] In an embodiment of the present application, when performing L1-SINR measurement, for CMR and IMR corresponding to information such as different cells / PCIs / TRPs / beams, the timing and QCL information of the IMR is determined based on the timing and QCL information corresponding to the CMR.
