[0057] The present application will be described in further detail below, along with the drawings and embodiments.
[0058] In related technologies, beam management is performed only at the serving cell, and terminals do not need to perform beam management-related measurements on adjacent cells. However, L1-based mobility operations can be used to improve system throughput. The basic idea of L1-based mobility operations is to transmit and receive data based on the beam of adjacent cells using a beam management method, without performing inter-cell handover, based on L1 measurement results. There are three possible application scenarios for L1-based mobility operations. The first step is to first perform a beam handover to the adjacent cell (which may also be called a beam-level handover) based on the L1 measurement for beam management of the adjacent cell, and then perform a handover to the adjacent cell (i.e., a cell-level handover). Specifically, as shown in Figure 1a, the terminal performs an L1 measurement of the adjacent cell, and the network side is configured to receive the corresponding beam of the adjacent cell by referring to the L1 measurement result of the adjacent cell reported by the terminal, then the terminal is configured to perform an L3 measurement of the adjacent cell, and finally, a handover is performed with the adjacent cell as the target cell. The second method involves first performing an L1 measurement for beam management of an adjacent cell, and then simultaneously performing a beam handover of the adjacent cell and a handover to the adjacent cell. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1b, the terminal performs an L1 measurement of the adjacent cell, and the network, referring to the L1 measurement results of the adjacent cell reported by the terminal, simultaneously triggers a beam handover to the adjacent cell and a cell handover by the terminal. The third method involves first performing an L1 measurement for beam management of the adjacent cell, then performing only a beam handover of the adjacent cell, that is, a handover that is not detected by L3 (no cell handover), and receiving data from the adjacent cell using only the beam handover method.
[0059] As can be seen from the above description, in the implementation methods for the three application scenarios described above, the terminal must first perform related measurements for beam management of adjacent cells (i.e., L1 measurements of adjacent cells), and then trigger other operations. Such methods may have the following problems. Firstly, because the L1 measurement results of adjacent cells are not filtered (meaning they are not averaged and are reported directly to the network after sampling), the measurement results are unstable, the robustness is not strong, and the ping-pong effect is likely to occur. Secondly, in practice, related technologies do not perform related measurements for beam management of adjacent cells (i.e., do not perform L1 measurements of non-serving cells). If related measurements for beam management of adjacent cells are performed, it will affect the L1 measurement of the serving cell and the L3 measurement of the adjacent cell. For example, beam scanning may interrupt the L1 measurement of the serving cell and / or the L3 measurement of the adjacent cell, further affecting the system's performance.
[0060] In other words, when measuring L1 values in adjacent cells, it is necessary to consider both the problem of how to perform the measurement (there may be measurement collisions) and the problem of how to report the results after the measurement.
[0061] In view of this, in each embodiment of the present invention, by acquiring information regarding the L1 measurement of an adjacent cell, the terminal can perform measurements based on said information, and furthermore, the stability of beam handover of adjacent cells performed based on the L1 measurement can be improved, thereby improving mobility performance. In addition, by acquiring information regarding the link quality monitoring measurement of an adjacent cell, it is possible to perform data transmission and reception with one or more adjacent cells without performing cell handover, thereby improving throughput and system performance.
[0062] Embodiments of the present application provide a measurement method applicable to a terminal, and as shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps 201-202: Step 201 is to obtain first information, which is information relating to the measurement of the first cell, and the measurement of the first cell includes at least one of L1 measurement, CBD, BFD, and RLM. Step 202 is to perform measurements based on the first information.
[0063] In actual applications, the aforementioned terminal may be referred to as user equipment (UE), terminal equipment, equipment, or user, etc.
[0064] In step 201, during actual application, the terminal will A method for receiving the initial information transmitted from the network side, A method in which the first information is predetermined, that is, a method in which the first information is predetermined, The first information may be obtained by at least one of the following methods: the terminal itself determines the information, that is, by the internal implementation of the terminal.
[0065] In actual applications, the network side may transmit the first information to the terminal via broadcast or RRC signaling, but the embodiments of this application are not limited to this.
[0066] The first cell refers to the cell adjacent to the serving cell where the terminal is located, and specifically, the first cell is: Non-serving cells and It may include one cell that is different from the PCI of the serving cell. In the case of non-serving cells, the transmission / reception point (TRP) of the non-serving cell and the TRP of the serving cell are different. In this case, the PCI of the non-serving cell and the PCI of the serving cell may be the same or they may be different.
[0067] In actual applications, measuring L1 requires: L1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) and L1 reference signal reception quality (L1-RSRQ) and At least one of the following may be included: L1 signal-to-interference noise ratio (L1-SINR).
[0068] In related technologies, the terminal only needs to perform L1 measurements of the serving cell. However, if it is necessary to perform L1 measurements of adjacent cells (to increase system throughput and improve system performance, the terminal needs to send and receive data with one or more adjacent cells via beam switching (which may also be called handover) without performing cell handover), the direction of the beam of the reference symbol for the adjacent cell's L1 and the beam of the reference symbol for the serving cell's L1 are different. Therefore, if there is a time-domain overlap between the reference symbol for the adjacent cell's L1 and the reference symbol for the serving cell's L1, an FR2 terminal that only supports one-way reception at the same time may only be able to receive signals (reference symbols or data) in a specific direction at a given time, and may not be able to perform L1 measurements of the adjacent cell and the serving cell simultaneously. In other words, if the signals from the serving cell and the adjacent cell are from different directions, the terminal cannot receive them simultaneously. That is, when measuring the L1 of the first cell, there may be an overlap between the L1 measurement of the serving cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. In this case, the terminal performs the measurement based on the first information.
[0069] Specifically, the first information includes a first factor, and if there is overlap between the L1 measurement of the serving cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell, the first factor may be applied; that is, the first factor may be applied when there is overlap between the L1 measurement of the serving cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. Here, "overlap" may include a complete or partial overlap between the L1 measurement of the serving cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. The overlap may include overlap in the time domain and / or overlap in the frequency domain.
[0070] The first factor may also instruct the terminal on how to allocate the L1 measurements of the serving cell and the first cell if there is a conflict between the L1 measurements of the serving cell and the L1 measurements of the first cell. Specifically, the first factor is applied to the measurement period, and the terminal allocates resources between the L1 measurements of the serving cell and the L1 measurements of the first cell based on the first factor.
[0071] Furthermore, in actual applications, there is a possibility of overlap between the L1 reference symbol of an adjacent cell and the measurement interval. Of course, such overlap may include a complete or partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of an adjacent cell and the measurement interval. The overlap may include overlap in the time domain and / or overlap in the frequency domain, in which case the terminal performs the measurement based on the first information.
[0072] In one embodiment, the first factor is: Percentage (i.e., the value of the first factor is a percentage), For example, positive numbers less than or equal to 100, such as 0.8, 1.5, or 3, For example, including one fraction such as 4 / 5, If there is an overlap between the reference symbol of the serving cell and the reference symbol of the first cell, the first factor is related to parameters A and B, where parameter A represents the period of the L1 reference symbol of the first cell (which may also be called the period of the reference symbol for L1 measurement), and parameter B represents the period of the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the serving cell and the reference symbol of the first cell, the first factor = K1 / (1-A / B) or the first factor = K1 / (1-B / A), where K1 is a positive number. If there is an overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the first factor is related to parameters A and Z, where parameter A represents the period of the reference symbol of L1 of the first cell, and parameter Z represents the period of the measurement interval. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the first factor = K² / (1-A / Z), where K² is a positive number. When there is an overlap between the reference symbol of the serving cell and the reference symbol of the first cell, and an overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the first factor is related to parameters A, B, and Z, where A represents the period of the L1 reference symbol of the first cell, Z represents the period of the measurement interval, and B represents the period of the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell. Specifically, when there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the serving cell and the reference symbol of the first cell, and a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the first factor = K3 / (1-A / BA / Z), or the first factor = K3 / (1-B / AA / Z), or the first factor = K3 / (1-B / AB / Z), where K3 is a positive number.
[0073] In actual applications, the first factor may be applied to the measurement of the first cell or to the measurement of the serving cell.
[0074] If the first factor includes a percentage or fraction, in actual application, the first factor may implicitly or explicitly indicate the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell. For example, if the value of the first factor is a percentage, e.g., P2%, and the first factor explicitly indicates the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell, then it can be understood that the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell are P2%, and accordingly, the delay of the L1 measurement of the first cell needs to be extended by 1 / P2. Correspondingly, the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the serving cell become (1-P2)%, and accordingly, the delay of the L1 measurement of the serving cell needs to be extended by 1 / (1-P2). If the first factor implicitly indicates the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell, then it can be understood that the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the serving cell are P2%, and accordingly, the delay of the L1 measurement of the serving cell needs to be extended by 1 / P2. In response to this, the measurement resources for L1 measurement in the first cell become (1-P2)%, and accordingly, the delay of L1 measurement in the first cell needs to be extended by 1 / (1-P2).
[0075] If the value of the first factor is a non-zero positive number, for example, if the value of the first factor is P3 (e.g., 3), then when the first factor is used for the L1 measurement of the first cell, the delay of the L1 measurement of the first cell must be extended by P3, and when the first factor is used for the L1 measurement of the serving cell, the delay of the L1 measurement of the serving cell must be extended by P3.
[0076] The value of the first factor may be a percentage, a positive number, or a fraction, and may be applied to scenes with complete overlap or scenes with incomplete overlap.
[0077] If the L1 measurement of the serving cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell do not overlap, the value of the first factor is set to 1.
[0078] In actual applications, the values of K1, K2, and K3 can be determined as needed, and may be determined based on at least one element such as the period of the reference symbol, the discontinuous reception period (DRX cycle), the carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF), or the period of the measurement interval (MGRP), for example, the value may be 1 or 1.5. The values of K1, K2, and K3 may be the same or different.
[0079] In the embodiments of the present application, the reference symbol is: Synchronization signal block (SSB) and, It may include at least one of the following: Channel Status Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS). Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the period of the reference symbol is SSB period and The measurement time configuration (SMTC) period of SSB, It may include at least one of the following: CSI-RS period.
[0080] Specifically, in actual applications, the periods of the reference symbols of the serving cell and the first cell may both be SSB periods, or they may both be CSI-RS periods, or they may both be SMTC periods, or they may be a combination of any two of the SSB, CSI-RS, and SMTC periods.
[0081] If there is partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell and the L1 reference symbol of the first cell, the L1 measurement of the first cell is performed only at the locations of the reference symbol that do not overlap with the L1 measurement of the serving cell; that is, the terminal performs the L1 measurement only at the locations of the reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the reference symbol of the serving cell. For example, if the period of the L1 reference symbol of the first cell is smaller than the period of the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell, the first factor = K1 / (1-A / B), and in this case, the measurement period of the L1 of the first cell needs to be extended by a time of K1 / (1-A / B), that is, the first factor is applied to the L1 measurement of the first cell, and the L1 measurement of the serving cell is not affected, that is, the terminal can measure at all the locations of the reference symbol of the L1 of the serving cell. In this case, if the period of the L1 reference symbol of the first cell is greater than the period of the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell, the first factor = K1 / (1-B / A). In this case, the L1 measurement of the serving cell needs to be extended by a time of K1 / (1-B / A), meaning the first factor is applied to the L1 measurement of the serving cell, and the L1 measurement of the first cell is unaffected, meaning the terminal can measure at the positions of all the reference symbols of the L1 of the first cell. In actual applications, this embodiment may be applied to scenes where the L1 measurement of an adjacent cell (i.e., the first cell) is performed outside the SMTC, or to scenes where the L1 measurement of an adjacent cell is performed inside the SMTC.
[0082] If there is a partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval (which may be expressed as MG in English), the terminal performs L1 measurement only at the position of the first cell's reference symbol where there is no overlap with the measurement interval. Specifically, if the period of the L1 reference symbol of the first cell is smaller than the period of the measurement interval, and there is a partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the first cell and the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell, the terminal performs L1 measurement only at the position of the first cell's reference symbol where there is no overlap with both the measurement interval and the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell, in which case the first factor = K2 / (1-A / Z).
[0083] If there is a partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell and the L1 reference symbol of the first cell, and there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the terminal will perform L1 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell. Specifically, if the period of the L1 reference symbol of the first cell is smaller than the period of the measurement interval, and there is a partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the first cell and the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell, the terminal will perform L1 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the L1 reference symbol of the serving cell. Accordingly, the terminal will perform L1 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol of the serving cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the reference symbol of the L1 measurement of the first cell. More specifically, the first factor = K3 / (1-A / BA / Z) and the first factor = K3 / (1-B / AA / Z) are applied to the measurement of the first cell, and the first factor = K3 / (1-B / AB / Z) is applied to the measurement of the serving cell.
[0084] In one embodiment, the measurement period is: The measurement period (which can also be expressed as "measurement period" in English), The detection period of the primary synchronization signal (PSS) / secondary synchronization signal (SSS) (which may also be called the detection delay, and in English, it may be expressed as "Time period for PSS / SSS detection"), The time index detection period (which can also be expressed in English as "Time period for time index detection," and can be understood as the time required for the terminal to obtain the resource index (e.g., SSB index), The RLM detection period (which can also be expressed as the RLM evaluation period in English) and The BFD detection period (which can also be expressed as the BFD evaluation period in English), It may include at least one of the following: a CBD detection period (which may be expressed as a CBD evaluation period in English).
[0085] In related technologies, the terminal only needs to perform L3 measurements of adjacent cells. However, if it is necessary to perform L1 measurements of adjacent cells (to increase system throughput and improve system performance, the terminal needs to send and receive data with one or more adjacent cells via beam switching (which may also be called handover) without performing cell handover), the direction of the beam of the L1 reference symbol and the beam of the L3 reference symbol are different. Therefore, if there is a time-domain overlap between the L1 reference symbol and the L3 reference symbol, an FR2 terminal that only supports one-way reception at the same time may only be able to receive signals (reference symbols or data) in a specific direction at a given time, and may not be able to perform L3 and L1 measurements of adjacent cells simultaneously. In other words, if the signal for L1 measurement of the first cell and the signal for L3 measurement of the second cell are from different directions, the terminal cannot receive them simultaneously. That is, when measuring L1 of the first cell, there may be an overlap between the L3 measurement of the second cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. In this case, the terminal performs the measurement based on the first information.
[0086] Specifically, the first information includes a second factor, and the second factor may be applied if there is overlap between the L1 measurement of the first cell and the L3 measurement of the second cell; that is, the second factor may be applied if there is overlap between the L3 measurement of the second cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. Here, "overlap" may include a complete or partial overlap between the L3 measurement of the second cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. The overlap may include overlap in the time domain and / or overlap in the frequency domain.
[0087] The second factor may also instruct the terminal on how to allocate resources for the L3 measurement of the second cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell when there is a conflict between the L3 measurement of the second cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. Specifically, the second factor is applied to the measurement period, and the terminal allocates resources between the L3 measurement of the second cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell based on the second factor.
[0088] Furthermore, in actual applications, there is a possibility of overlap between the L1 reference symbol of an adjacent cell and the measurement interval. Of course, such overlap may include a complete or partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of an adjacent cell and the measurement interval. The overlap may include overlap in the time domain and / or overlap in the frequency domain, in which case the terminal performs the measurement based on the first information.
[0089] In one embodiment, the second factor is: Percentage (i.e., the value of the second factor is a percentage), For example, positive numbers less than or equal to 100, such as 0.8, 1.5, or 3, For example, including one fraction such as 4 / 5, If there is an overlap between the reference symbol L1 of the first cell and the reference symbol L3 of the second cell, the second factor is related to parameters A and C, where parameter A represents the period of the reference symbol L1 of the first cell and parameter C represents the period of the reference symbol L3 of the second cell. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol L1 of the first cell and the reference symbol L3 of the second cell, the second factor = M1 / (1-A / C) or the second factor = M1 / (1-C / A), where M1 is a positive number. If there is an overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the second factor is related to parameters A and Z, where parameter A represents the period of the reference symbol of L1 of the first cell, and parameter Z represents the period of the measurement interval. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the second factor = M2 / (1-A / Z), where M2 is a positive number. If there is an overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the reference symbol of the second cell, and there is an overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, then the second factor is related to parameters A, C, and Z, where parameter A represents the period of the reference symbol of L1 of the first cell, parameter Z represents the period of the measurement interval, and parameter C represents the period of the reference symbol of L3 of the second cell. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the reference symbol of the second cell, and there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, then the second factor = M3 / (1-A / CA / Z), or the second factor = M3 / (1-C / AA / Z), or the second factor = M3 / (1-C / AC / Z), where M3 is a positive number.
[0090] In actual applications, the second cell will Serving cell and Non-serving cells and It may include at least one cell that is different from the PCI of the serving cell.
[0091] Here, if both the first and second cells are non-serving cells, the first and second cells may have different PCIs. If both the first and second cells have a different PCI than the serving cell, the first and second cells have different PCIs. If both the first and second cells are TRPs, the first and second cells have different PCIs or TRP IDs, or correspond to different network nodes.
[0092] In actual applications, the second factor may be applied to the measurement of the first cell or to the measurement of the second cell.
[0093] If the second factor includes a percentage or fraction, in actual application, the second factor may implicitly or explicitly indicate the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell. For example, if the value of the second factor is a percentage, e.g., P4%, and the first factor explicitly indicates the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell, then it can be understood that the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell are P4%, and accordingly, the delay of the L1 measurement of the first cell needs to be extended by 1 / P4. Correspondingly, the measurement resources for the L3 measurement of the second cell become (1-P4)%, and accordingly, the delay of the L3 measurement of the second cell needs to be extended by 1 / (1-P4). If the second factor implicitly indicates the measurement resources for the L1 measurement of the first cell, then it can be understood that the measurement resources for the L3 measurement of the second cell are P4%, and accordingly, the delay of the L3 measurement of the second cell needs to be extended by 1 / P4. In response to this, the measurement resources for L1 measurement in the first cell become (1-P4)%, and accordingly, the delay of L1 measurement in the first cell needs to be extended by 1 / (1-P4).
[0094] If the value of the second factor is a non-zero positive number, for example, if the value of the second factor is P5 (e.g., 1.5), then when the second factor is used for the L1 measurement of the first cell, the delay of the L1 measurement of the corresponding first cell must be extended by P5, and when the second factor is used for the L3 measurement of the second cell, the delay of the L3 measurement of the second cell must be extended by P5.
[0095] The value of the second factor may be a percentage, a positive number, or a fraction, and may be applied to scenes with complete overlap or scenes with incomplete overlap.
[0096] If the L3 measurement in the second cell and the L1 measurement in the first cell do not overlap, the value of the second factor is set to 1.
[0097] For L3 measurement, Synchronization signal (SS)-RSRP, SS-RSRQ and, SS-SINR and, Channel Status Information (CSI)-RSRP, CSI-RSRQ and, At least one of the following may be included: CSI-SINR.
[0098] In actual applications, the values of M1, M2, and M3 can be determined as needed, and may be determined based on at least one element such as the period of the reference symbol, DRX cycle, CSSF, MGRP, etc., for example, the value may be 1 or 1.5. The values of M1, M2, and M3 may be the same or different.
[0099] In actual applications, the periods of the reference symbols in the second and first cells may both be SSB periods, or they may both be CSI-RS periods, or they may both be SMTC periods, or the periods of the reference symbols in the second and first cells may be any two of the SSB, CSI-RS, and SMTC periods.
[0100] If there is a partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the first cell and the L3 reference symbol of the second cell, the L1 measurement of the first cell is performed only at the location of the reference symbol that does not overlap with the L3 measurement of the second cell. In other words, the terminal performs the L1 measurement only at the location of the reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the reference symbol of the second cell. For example, if the period of the reference symbol L1 of the first cell is smaller than the period of the reference symbol L3 of the second cell, the second factor = M1 / (1-A / C)), and in this case, the measurement period of L1 of the first cell needs to be extended by M1 / (1-A / C) times, meaning that the second factor is applied to the measurement of L1 of the first cell, and the measurement of L3 of the second cell is unaffected, meaning that the terminal can measure at the positions of all reference symbols of L3 of the second cell. If the period of the reference symbol L1 of the first cell is larger than the period of the reference symbol L3 of the second cell, the second factor = M1 / (1-C / A), and in this case, the measurement of L3 of the second cell needs to be extended by M1 / (1-C / A) times, meaning that the first factor is applied to the measurement of L3 of the second cell, and the measurement of L1 of the first cell is unaffected, meaning that the terminal can measure at the positions of all reference symbols of L1 of the first cell.
[0101] If there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of L1 in the first cell and the measurement interval, the terminal performs L1 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol in the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval. Specifically, if the period of the reference symbol of L1 in the first cell is smaller than the period of the measurement interval, the terminal performs L1 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol in the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval, in which case the second factor = M2 / (1-A / Z).
[0102] If there is a partial overlap between the L3 reference symbol of the second cell and the L1 reference symbol of the first cell, and there is a partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the first cell and the measurement interval, the terminal will perform L1 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the L3 reference symbol of the second cell. Specifically, if the period of the L1 reference symbol of the first cell is smaller than the period of the measurement interval, and there is a partial overlap between the L1 reference symbol of the first cell and the L3 reference symbol of the second cell, the terminal will perform L1 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the L3 reference symbol of the second cell. Accordingly, the terminal will perform L3 measurement only at the position of the reference symbol of the second cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the L1 reference symbol of the first cell. More specifically, the second factor = M3 / (1-A / CA / Z) and the second factor = M3 / (1-C / AA / Z) are applied to the measurement of the first cell, and the second factor = M3 / (1-C / AC / Z) is applied to the measurement of the second cell.
[0103] In related technologies, the terminal only needs to send and receive data with the serving cell. To increase throughput and improve system performance, the terminal may send and receive data with one or more adjacent cells without performing cell handover. However, in this case, the terminal has additional requirements, including the need to perform link quality monitoring and measure the relevant resources for BFD (which may be expressed as "resource" in English) and / or the relevant resources for CBD (Cell Bedside Data) when sending and receiving data with adjacent cells. In this case, if there is a time domain overlap between the BFD and CBD resources of different cells, the terminal cannot handle them simultaneously because the data directions of the different cells are different. In this case, the terminal performs measurements based on primary information.
[0104] Specifically, the first information includes a third factor, and if there is overlap between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell, the third factor may be applied; that is, the third factor may be applied when there is overlap between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell. Here, "overlap" may include complete or partial overlap between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD measurement of the third cell. The overlap may include overlap in the time domain and / or overlap in the frequency domain.
[0105] The third factor may also instruct the terminal on how to allocate resources between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell if there is a resource conflict between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell. Specifically, the third factor is applied to the measurement period, and the terminal allocates resources between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD measurement of the third cell based on the third factor.
[0106] Furthermore, in actual applications, there is a possibility of overlap between the BFD and / or CBD resources of adjacent cells and the measurement interval. Of course, such overlap may include complete or partial overlap between the BFD and / or CBD resources and the measurement interval. The overlap may include overlap in the time domain and / or overlap in the frequency domain, in which case the terminal performs the measurement based on the first information.
[0107] In one embodiment, the third factor is: The percentage (i.e., the value of the third factor is a percentage), For example, positive numbers less than or equal to 100, such as 0.8, 1.5, or 3, For example, including one fraction such as 4 / 5, If there is an overlap in the reference symbols (i.e., resources) between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell, then the third factor is related to parameters D and E, where parameter D represents the period of the reference symbols of the BFD of the first cell and parameter E represents the period of the reference symbols of the CBD of the third cell. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap in the reference symbols (i.e., resources) between the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell, then the third factor = N1 / (1-D / E) or the third factor = N1 / (1-E / D), where N1 is a positive number. If there is an overlap between the reference symbol and the measurement interval of the first cell's BFD, the third factor is related to parameters D and Z, where parameter D represents the period of the reference symbol of the first cell's BFD and parameter Z represents the period of the measurement interval. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol and the measurement interval of the first cell's BFD, the third factor = N² / (1-D / Z), where N² is a positive number. If there is an overlap between the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell and the measurement interval, the third factor is related to parameters F and Z, where parameter F represents the period of the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell and parameter Z represents the period of the measurement interval. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap between the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell and the measurement interval, the third factor = N6 / (1-F / Z), where N6 is a positive number. If there is an overlap in the reference symbols of the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell, and there is an overlap between the BFD of the first cell and the measurement interval, then the third factor is related to parameters D, E, and Z, where parameter D represents the period of the reference symbol of the BFD of the first cell, parameter Z represents the period of the measurement interval, and parameter E represents the period of the reference symbol of the CBD of the third cell. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap in the reference symbols of the BFD of the first cell and the CBD of the third cell, and there is a partial overlap between the BFD of the first cell and the measurement interval, then the third factor = N3 / (1-D / ED / Z), or the third factor = N3 / (1-E / DD / Z), or the third factor = N3 / (1-E / DE / Z), where N3 is a positive number. If there is an overlap in the reference symbols of the CBD of the first cell and the BFD of the third cell, the third factor is related to parameters F and G, where parameter F represents the period of the reference symbol of the CBD of the first cell and parameter G represents the period of the reference symbol of the BFD of the third cell. Specifically, if there is a partial overlap in the reference symbols of the CBD of the first cell and the BFD of the third cell, the third factor = N4 / (1-F / G) or the third factor = N4 / (1-G / F), where N4 is a positive number. When there is an overlap in the reference symbols of the CBD in the first cell and the BFD in the third cell, and there is an overlap between the CBD in the first cell and the measurement interval, the third factor is related to parameters F, G, and Z, where parameter F represents the period of the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell, parameter Z represents the period of the measurement interval, and parameter G represents the period of the reference symbol of the BFD in the third cell. Specifically, when there is a partial overlap in the reference symbols of the CBD in the first cell and the BFD in the third cell, and there is a partial overlap between the CBD in the first cell and the measurement interval, the third factor = N5 / (1-F / GF / Z), or the third factor = N5 / (1-G / FF / Z), or the third factor = N5 / (1-G / FG / Z), where N5 is a positive number.
[0108] Of these, the third cell is, Serving cell and Non-serving cells and It may include at least one cell that is different from the PCI of the serving cell.
[0109] Here, if both the first and third cells are non-serving cells, the first and third cells may have different PCIs. If both the first and third cells have a different PCI than the serving cell, the first and third cells have different PCIs. If both the first and third cells are TRPs, the first and third cells have different PCIs or TRP IDs, or correspond to different network nodes.
[0110] In actual applications, the third factor may be applied to the measurement of the first cell or to the measurement of the third cell.
[0111] If the resources in the first cell's BFD and the third cell's CBD do not overlap, the value of the third factor is set to 1.
[0112] In actual applications, the values of N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, and N6 can be determined as needed, and may be determined based on at least one element such as the period of the reference symbol, DRX cycle, CSSF, MGRP, etc., for example, the value may be 1 or 1.5. The values of N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, and N6 may be the same or different.
[0113] If there is partial overlap in the resources of the BFD in the first cell and the CBD in the third cell, the BFD measurement in the first cell is performed only at the locations of resources that do not overlap with the CBD measurement in the third cell; that is, the terminal performs the measurement only at the locations of the reference symbol for the BFD in the first cell (which may be called the reference symbol for BFD measurement) where there is no overlap with the CBD resource in the third cell. For example, if the period of the reference symbol for the BFD in the first cell is smaller than the period of the reference symbol for the CBD in the third cell (which may be called the reference symbol for CBD measurement), the third factor = N1 / (1-D / E), and in this case, the third factor is applied to the BFD measurement in the first cell. If the period of the reference symbol for the BFD in the first cell is larger than the period of the reference symbol for the CBD in the third cell, the third factor = N1 / (1-E / D), and in this case, the third factor is applied to the CBD measurement in the third cell.
[0114] If there is a partial overlap between the resources of the BFD in the first cell and the measurement interval, the terminal will perform measurements only at the locations of the reference symbols in the BFD of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval. Specifically, if the period of the reference symbols in the BFD of the first cell is shorter than the period of the measurement interval, the terminal will perform measurements only at the locations of the reference symbols in the BFD of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval, in which case the third factor = N² / (1-D / Z).
[0115] If there is a partial overlap between the CBD resource of the first cell and the measurement interval, the terminal will only perform measurements at the locations of the CBD reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval. Specifically, if the period of the CBD reference symbol of the first cell is shorter than the period of the measurement interval, the terminal will only perform measurements at the locations of the CBD reference symbol of the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval, in which case the third factor = N6 / (1-F / Z).
[0116] If there is partial overlap between the resources of the BFD in the first cell and the CBD in the third cell, and there is partial overlap between the BFD in the first cell and the measurement interval, the terminal will perform measurements only at the location of the reference symbol of the BFD in the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the reference symbol of the CBD in the third cell. Specifically, if the period of the reference symbol of the BFD in the first cell is smaller than the period of the measurement interval, and there is partial overlap between the reference symbol of the BFD in the first cell and the reference symbol of the CBD in the third cell, the terminal will perform measurements only at the location of the reference symbol of the BFD in the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the reference symbol of the CBD in the third cell, and in this case, the third factor will be applied to the BFD measurement of the first cell. Of course, the terminal will perform CBD measurements only at the location of the reference symbol of the CBD in the third cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the BFD in the first cell, and in this case, the third factor will be applied to the CBD measurement of the third cell. More specifically, the third factor = N3 / (1-D / ED / Z) and the third factor = N3 / (1-E / DD / Z) are applied to the measurement of the first cell, and the third factor = N3 / (1-E / DE / Z) is applied to the measurement of the third cell.
[0117] If there is partial overlap in resources between the CBD of the first cell and the BFD of the third cell, the CBD measurement of the first cell is performed only at locations of resources that do not overlap with the BFD measurement of the third cell; that is, the terminal performs the measurement only at locations of the reference symbol of the CBD of the first cell where there is no overlap with the resources of the BFD of the third cell. Specifically, if the period of the reference symbol of the CBD of the first cell is smaller than the period of the reference symbol of the BFD of the third cell, the third factor is applied to the BFD measurement of the first cell. If the period of the reference symbol of the CBD of the first cell is larger than the period of the reference symbol of the BFD of the third cell, the third factor is applied to the CBD measurement of the third cell.
[0118] If there is partial overlap between the resources of the CBD in the first cell and the BFD in the third cell, and there is partial overlap between the CBD in the first cell and the measurement interval, the terminal will perform measurements only at the location of the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the reference symbol of the BFD in the third cell. Specifically, if the period of the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell is smaller than the period of the measurement interval, and there is partial overlap between the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell and the reference symbol of the BFD in the third cell, the terminal will perform measurements only at the location of the reference symbol of the CBD in the first cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the reference symbol of the BFD in the third cell, and in this case, the third factor will be applied to the CBD measurement of the first cell. Of course, the terminal will perform BFD measurements only at the location of the reference symbol of the BFD in the third cell where there is no overlap with the measurement interval and no overlap with the CBD in the first cell, and in this case, the third factor will be applied to the BFD measurement of the third cell. More specifically, the third factor = N5 / (1-F / GF / Z) and the third factor = N5 / (1-G / FF / Z) are applied to the measurement of the first cell, and the third factor = N5 / (1-G / FG / Z) is applied to the measurement of the third cell.
[0119] In one embodiment, the effect of the above factor on the measurement period (at least one of the first, second, and third cells) is: The measurement period = max(T, ceil(M*P)*period of the reference symbol*factor), Measurement period = M * P * period of reference symbol * factor, Measurement period = ceil(M*P) * period of reference symbol * factor, Measurement period = max(T,ceil(K*M*P)*max(DRX cycle, period of reference symbol))*factor, Measurement period = K * M * P * max(DRX cycle, period of reference symbol)) * factor, Measurement period = ceil(M*P)*DRX cycle* factor, Measurement period = max(T,ceil(M*P*N)*period of reference symbol)*factor, Measurement period = max(T,ceil(1.5*M*P*N)*max(DRX cycle, period of reference symbol))*factor, Measurement period = ceil(1.5*M*P*N)*DRX cycle* factor, Measurement period = max(600ms,ceil(M*P)*period of reference symbol)*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = max(600ms,ceil(K*M*P)*max(period of reference symbol,DRX cycle))*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = ceil(M*P)*DRX cycle*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = max(600ms,ceil(M*P*Q)*period of reference symbol)*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = max(600ms,ceil(1.5*M*P*Q)*max(period of reference symbol,DRX cycle))*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = ceil(M*P*Q)*DRX cycle*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = max(600ms, M*max(MGRP, period of reference symbol))*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = max(600ms,ceil(M*K)*max(MGRP,period of reference symbol,DRX cycle))*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = M * max(MGRP, DRX cycle) * CSSF * factor, Measurement period = max(600ms, M*max(MGRP, period of reference symbol))*CSSF*factor, Measurement period = max(600ms,ceil(1.5*M)*max(MGRP,period of reference symbol,DRX cycle))*CSSF*factor, The measurement period may be expressed by one of the following formulas: Measurement period = M * max(MGRP, DRX cycle) * CSSF * factor.
[0120] Of these, max() is a function for finding the maximum value, ceil() is a function for rounding up, T is a specific time length which may be used for reporting or measuring the measurement, M is an integer whose value can be set as needed, for example, its value may be 1, 3, 5, 24, 40 or 64, the value of P may be 1 or other positive number, its specific value relating to the serving cell's reference symbol and measurement interval or SMTC, N is an integer whose value may be 8, for example, and can be understood as relating to the beam, K is a positive number whose value may be 1, 1.5 or 7.5, relating to the high-speed rail configuration and / or SMTC period, CSSF is the carrier measurement performance scaling factor (which may be expressed as Carrier-specific scaling factor in English), and can be understood as relating to the number of frequency points and / or the number of frequency bands, the value of Q is 1 or 1.5, and specifically relates to the serving cell's RLM, BFD, CBD or L1 reference symbol and the time-domain position of the SMTC.
[0121] It should be explained here that the factor in the above formula may be the first factor, the second factor, or the third factor.
[0122] In actual applications, during measurement, the three factors mentioned above may be used individually, two of the three factors may be used, or all three factors may be used simultaneously, depending on the scene. When using two or three of the factors, the factor in the formula will be the product of the two or three factors.
[0123] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the length of the measurement period is related to the factor, and there is a direct multiple relationship between the factor and the measurement period in the above formula. In actual applications, there may be other relationships between the factor and the measurement period. For example, the factor may be in a function, and there may be a direct multiple relationship between the measurement period and that function.
[0124] In actual applications, when the factor in the formula for determining the above measurement period is the first factor, it may be applied to scenes where the time offset between the serving cell and the first cell (which may also be expressed as timing offset in English and can be understood as the time difference in data or signal reception between the serving cell and the first cell by the terminal) is below a certain threshold (e.g., cyclic prefix (CP), or CP / 2, etc.).
[0125] In the formula for determining the measurement period described above, if the factor is the second factor, it may be applied to scenes where the time offset between the second cell and the first cell (which can be understood as the time difference in the reception of data or signals between the second cell and the first cell by the terminal) is below a certain threshold (e.g., CP, or CP / 2, etc.).
[0126] In the formula for determining the measurement period described above, if the factor is the third factor, it may be applied to scenes where the time offset between the third cell and the first cell (which can be understood as the time difference in the reception of data or signals between the third cell and the first cell by the terminal) is below a certain threshold (e.g., CP, or CP / 2, etc.).
[0127] It should be explained that for the first, second, and third factors, if the corresponding time offset exceeds the corresponding threshold, the cell data of non-serving cells may be added separately to the formula for determining the measurement period. Specifically, in the above formula, not only may the relevant factor be multiplied, but the cell quantity of non-serving cells may also be multiplied.
[0128] In order to achieve both robustness and mobility, the terminal may obtain auxiliary information (i.e., instruction information), and the terminal may use the auxiliary information to perform beam management measurements of adjacent cells and / or related measurements for link quality monitoring (i.e., BFD measurements and / or CBD measurements).
[0129] Based on this, in one embodiment, the first information includes: The first instruction information indicates whether to perform simultaneous measurements when there is an overlap between the L1 measurement of the first cell and the L1 measurement of the serving cell, Second instruction information indicates whether to measure simultaneously if there is an overlap between the L1 measurement of the first cell and the L3 measurement of the second cell, A third instruction information that indicates whether to measure simultaneously if there is an overlap between the BFD measurement in the first cell and the CBD measurement in the third cell, or whether to measure simultaneously if there is an overlap between the CBD measurement in the first cell and the BFD measurement in the third cell, This includes at least one of the following: turning on or off rapid reporting of the measurement result of L1 in the first cell, or a fourth indicator indicating the first threshold.
[0130] In actual applications, the above instruction information may also be indicated by TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether simultaneous measurement is necessary. For example, TRUE indicates that simultaneous measurement is necessary, and FALSE indicates that simultaneous measurement is not necessary. Alternatively, it may be indicated by a bit sequence. For example, a bit sequence value of 0 indicates that simultaneous measurement is not necessary, and a bit sequence value of 1 indicates that simultaneous measurement is necessary.
[0131] The first instruction information indicates whether the L1 measurement of the first cell should be abandoned if there is a conflict between the L1 measurement of the first cell and the L1 measurement of the serving cell (in this case, abandoning the L1 measurement of the serving cell may not be considered so that a reasonable transmit / receive beam is configured for the terminal, as the L1 measurement of the serving cell affects link quality monitoring). If the first instruction information indicates abandoning the L1 measurement of the first cell, the terminal abandons the L1 measurement of the first cell, and in this case, it does not affect the L1 measurement of the serving cell. If the first instruction information indicates not to abandon the L1 measurement of the first cell, the terminal must consider both the L1 measurement of the first cell and the L1 measurement of the serving cell and allocate resources between them, and specifically, the terminal may perform the measurement based on the first factor. The first instruction information may be distributed from the network side (e.g., via broadcast or RRC signaling). Exemplaryly, the first factor may be distributed from the network side (e.g., via RRC signaling). The network-based instruction method allows for the use of different allocation methods in different scenarios, making it more adaptable. For example, if the network wants to ensure the beam management performance of a serving cell, it may allocate more resources to the L1 measurement of the serving cell by configuring the first factor, thereby reducing the impact on the L1 measurement of the serving cell. For example, if the network wants to quickly find the beam of a suitable adjacent cell and configure the beam of the adjacent cell for a terminal to achieve high-speed data transmission and reception, it may allocate more resources to the L1 measurement of the adjacent cell by configuring the first factor, thereby accelerating the L1 measurement.
[0132] The second instruction information indicates whether the sharing mechanism should be turned on if there is a collision between the L1 measurement of the first cell and the L3 measurement of the second cell. If the second instruction information indicates not to turn on the sharing mechanism, the terminal must choose which measurement to abandon from the L3 measurement of the second cell and the L1 measurement of the first cell. In this case, the second instruction information may further instruct the terminal to abandon either the L1 measurement of the first cell or the L3 measurement of the second cell. For example, if the network side wants to complete cell handover quickly, the network side may instruct the terminal (e.g., via RRC signaling) to perform an L3 measurement of the adjacent cell (abandon the L1 measurement of the adjacent cell) if there is a collision in the time domain. For example, if the network side wants to quickly find a suitable beam of an adjacent cell and configure the beam of the adjacent cell for the terminal to enable high-speed data transmission and reception, the network side may instruct the terminal (e.g., via RRC signaling) to perform an L1 measurement of the adjacent cell (abandon the L3 measurement of the adjacent cell) if there is a collision in the time domain. If the second instruction information instructs the sharing mechanism to be turned on, the terminal must consider both the L1 measurement of the first cell and the L3 measurement of the second cell and allocate resources between them, specifically, the terminal may perform the measurement based on the second factor. Exemplarily, the second instruction information may be distributed from the network side (e.g., via broadcast or RRC signaling). The method of instruction by the network allows for the use of different allocation methods in different scenarios, making it more adaptable. For example, if the network side wants to complete cell handover quickly, the network side may accelerate the L3 measurement by allocating more resources to the L3 measurement of the adjacent cell by configuring the second factor. For example, if the network side wants to quickly find a suitable beam of the adjacent cell and configure the beam of the adjacent cell for the terminal to achieve high-speed data transmission and reception, the network side may accelerate the L1 measurement by allocating more resources to the L1 measurement of the adjacent cell by configuring the second factor.
[0133] The third instruction information may also instruct whether to turn on the sharing mechanism if there is a conflict between the BFD measurement of the first cell and the CBD measurement of the third cell. If the third instruction information instructs not to turn on the sharing mechanism, the terminal must choose which measurement to abandon from the BFD measurement of the first cell and the CBD measurement of the third cell. In this case, the third instruction information may further instruct the terminal to abandon either the BFD measurement of the first cell or the CBD measurement of the third cell. For example, if the network side wants to perform CBD measurements quickly, the network side may instruct the terminal (e.g., via RRC signaling) to perform CBD measurements (abandon the BFD measurement of the adjacent cell) if there is a conflict in the time domain. For example, if the network side wants to detect link quality more favorably, the network side may instruct the terminal (e.g., via RRC signaling) to perform BFD measurements of the first cell (abandon the CBD measurement of the adjacent cell) if there is a conflict in the time domain. If the third instruction information instructs the sharing mechanism to be turned on, the terminal must consider both the BFD measurement of the first cell and the CBD measurement of the third cell and allocate resources between them, and specifically, the terminal may perform the measurement based on the third factor. Exemplarily, the third instruction information may be distributed from the network side (e.g., via broadcast or RRC signaling). The method of instruction by the network allows for the use of different allocation methods in different scenarios and is more adaptable. For example, if the network side wants to perform CBD quickly, the network side may accelerate CBD measurement by allocating more resources to the CBD measurement of adjacent cells by configuring the third factor. For example, if the network side wants to detect link quality more favorably, the network side may accelerate BFD measurement by allocating more resources to the BFD measurement of adjacent cells by configuring the third factor.
[0134] The third instruction information may also instruct whether to turn on the sharing mechanism if there is a conflict between the CBD measurement of the first cell and the BFD measurement of the third cell. If the third instruction information instructs not to turn on the sharing mechanism, the terminal must choose which measurement to abandon from the CBD measurement of the first cell and the BFD measurement of the third cell. In this case, the third instruction information may further instruct the terminal to abandon the CBD measurement of the first cell or the BFD measurement of the third cell. For example, if the network side wants to perform CBD quickly, the network side may instruct the terminal (e.g., via RRC signaling) to perform the CBD measurement of the first cell (abandoning the BFD measurement of the adjacent cell) if there is a conflict in the time domain. For example, if the network side wants to detect link quality more favorably, the network side may instruct the terminal (e.g., via RRC signaling) to perform the BFD measurement of the third cell (abandoning the CBD measurement of the adjacent cell) if there is a conflict in the time domain. If the third instruction information instructs the sharing mechanism to be turned on, the terminal must consider both the CBD measurement of the first cell and the BFD measurement of the third cell and allocate resources between them, specifically, the terminal may perform the measurement based on the third factor. Exemplarily, the third instruction information may be distributed from the network side (e.g., via broadcast or RRC signaling). The method of instruction by the network allows for the use of different allocation methods in different scenarios and is more adaptable. For example, if the network side wants to perform CBD quickly, the network side may accelerate CBD measurement by allocating more resources to the CBD measurement of adjacent cells by configuring the third factor. For example, if the network side wants to detect link quality more favorably, the network side may accelerate BFD measurement by allocating more resources to the BFD measurement of adjacent cells by configuring the third factor.
[0135] Regarding the fourth instruction information, if the fourth instruction information instructs to turn on rapid reporting of the measurement result of L1 of the first cell, or if the measurement result of L1 of the first cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the measurement result is reported to the network side after obtaining P1 measurement results of L1 of the first cell; if the fourth instruction information instructs to turn off rapid reporting of the measurement result of L1 of the first cell, or if the measurement result of L1 of the first cell is less than the first threshold, the measurement result is reported to the network side after obtaining Q1 measurement results of L1 of the first cell, and P1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1, Q1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and P1 is less than Q1.
[0136] Of these, the fourth instruction information instructs the terminal whether it is possible to rapidly report the measurement results of the beam management of the first cell, i.e., the measurement results of L1 of the first cell. For example, if there is data transmission on the network side and it is desired to perform a beam handover to an adjacent cell quickly, the fourth instruction information may be used to instruct the terminal to turn on rapid reporting, in which case the terminal will be able to report immediately after acquiring the L1 measurement results. If the network side wants to ensure the stability of the beam handover to an adjacent cell, the fourth instruction information may be used to instruct the terminal to turn off rapid reporting, in which case the terminal will be able to report after acquiring several (i.e., Q1) L1 measurement results.
[0137] Of these, the fourth instruction information instructs the terminal that rapid reporting of the measurement results of L1 of the first cell is possible, and if P1 is 1, the terminal immediately reports each measurement result of L1 of the first cell, and if P1 is an integer greater than 1, the terminal immediately reports each measurement result of L1 of the first cell, P1. Here, when reporting, the terminal may report the average value of the P1 measurement results, or it may report the maximum or minimum value of the P1 measurement results, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.
[0138] If the fourth instruction information instructs the terminal to turn off the rapid reporting of the measurement results of L1 of the first cell, the terminal will be able to report the measurement results of L1 of the first cell after acquiring Q1 values. When reporting, the terminal may report the average value of the Q1 measurement results, or it may report the maximum or minimum value of the Q1 measurement results, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.
[0139] In actual applications, the fourth instruction information may implicitly instruct the terminal whether rapid reporting of measurement results for beam management of the first cell is possible. Specifically, a counter may be used to instruct the terminal whether rapid reporting of measurement results for beam management of the first cell is possible.
[0140] More specifically, if the fourth instruction information indicates turning on or off rapid reporting of the measurement result of L1 of the first cell, then the fourth instruction information includes the first counter, If the number of measurement results obtained for L1 of the first cell satisfies the requirement of the first counter, the terminal reports the measurement results.
[0141] Based on the counter value, the terminal can be instructed whether rapid reporting of the beam management measurement results for the first cell is possible. In actual applications, the network can configure different counter values according to the needs of different scenarios to achieve both robustness and mobility.
[0142] If the fourth instruction indicates a first threshold, and the measurement result of L1 of the first cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold (meaning that the current channel quality of the first cell is good and the terminal can report the measurement results quickly), and P1 is 1, the terminal reports immediately each time it obtains one measurement result of L1 of the first cell. If P1 is an integer greater than 1, the terminal reports immediately each time it obtains P1 measurement results of L1 of the first cell. Here, when reporting, the terminal may report the average value of the P1 measurement results, or it may report the maximum or minimum value of the P1 measurement results, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. Accordingly, if the measurement result of L1 of the first cell is less than the first threshold (meaning that the current channel quality of the first cell is poor and the terminal cannot report the measurement results quickly), the terminal can report after obtaining Q1 measurement results of L1 of the first cell. In the reporting process, the terminal may report the average value of the measurement results for Q1, or it may report the maximum or minimum value among the measurement results for Q1, but the embodiments of this application are not limited to this.
[0143] In actual applications, the values of P1 and Q1 may be determined by the network, for example, via broadcast or RRC signaling.
[0144] To enhance robustness, a threshold (i.e., a quality threshold) may be introduced for reporting beam management measurement results, so that only beams with a beam quality above that threshold are reported.
[0145] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method is Receiving second information transmitted from the network side, which indicates a second threshold, This may further include reporting to the network side any measurement results of L1 of the first cell that are equal to or greater than the second threshold.
[0146] The network side may transmit the second information via broadcast or RRC signaling, etc., but the embodiments of this application are not limited to this.
[0147] In actual applications, to enhance robustness, the report will only be submitted when the beam quantity of the first cell, above the second threshold, satisfies a certain threshold.
[0148] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method is Receiving third information transmitted from the network side, which indicates a third threshold, If the number of measurement results of L1 in the first cell that are equal to or above the second threshold satisfies the third threshold, the measurement results of L1 that are equal to or above the second threshold may be reported to the network side.
[0149] The network side may transmit third-party information via broadcast or RRC signaling, etc., but the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.
[0150] Specifically, in one embodiment, the third information includes a second counter, If the number of measurement results from L1 that are equal to or above the second threshold satisfies the requirement of the second counter, the terminal reports the measurement results from L1 of the first cell that are equal to or above the second threshold to the network side.
[0151] In actual applications, the network can achieve robustness by configuring different counter values according to the demands of different scenarios.
[0152] Regarding the reporting of L1 measurements of the first cell by the aforementioned terminal, if the network configures the maximum reportable beam quantity for the terminal in combination with the second threshold, the terminal can only report beams that satisfy the quality threshold. If the beam quantity that satisfies the quality threshold is greater than the maximum beam quantity configured by the network, the terminal can only sort the beams in descending order of quality threshold, starting from the highest beam quality, and select and report beams that satisfy the beam quantity reporting requirement.
[0153] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method is Receiving the fourth piece of information transmitted from the network side, which indicates the maximum quantity of the measurement result to be reported, If the number of measurement results of L1 that are above the second threshold is greater than the maximum quantity, the method may further include selecting and reporting the maximum quantity of measurement results from among the measurement results above the second threshold.
[0154] The network side may transmit the fourth information via broadcast or RRC signaling, etc., but the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.
[0155] Regarding the reporting of measurement results related to beam management, the terminal may report absolute values, that is, the terminal may report absolute values of the measurement results of L1 of the first cell. The network may be configured so that terminals report relative values to the measurement results of the first beam, that is, the terminals may report relative values of the measurement results of L1 of the first cell to the measurement results of the first beam.
[0156] Of these, the first beam quality may be the highest quality beam of the first cell or the highest quality beam of the serving cell. Here, the quality refers to a measured quantity and may also be called the measurement result. SS-RSRP and, SS-SINR and, SS-RSRQ and, L1-RSRP and, L1-SINR and, L1-RSRQ and, CSI-RSRP and, CSI-RSRQ and, It includes at least one of the following: CSI-SINR.
[0157] Considering that some terminals may have performed mobility measurements (L3 measurements) on adjacent cells even when beam management measurements were being taken on a cell, such terminals may report the L3 measurement results at the same time as reporting the beam management measurement results for the target cell (i.e., the first cell).
[0158] Based on this, in one embodiment, when reporting the measurement result of L1 of the first cell, the method is as follows: This further includes reporting the measurement results for L3 of the first cell.

In other words, the principle of the above factor is applicable to the RLM measurement.
[0163] After the terminal reports the measurement results of the first cell to the network side, the network side configures a beam handover based on the reported measurement results, and accordingly, the terminal performs a beam handover based on the network side's configuration and hands over to the beam of the adjacent cell.
[0164] Accordingly, the embodiment of the present application further provides a measurement method applicable to the network side, i.e., network equipment (specifically, base stations), as shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps 301 to 302: Step 301 is to determine the first information, which is information relating to the measurement of the first cell, and the measurement of the first cell includes at least one of the following: L1 measurement, CBD, BFD, and RLM.
