Background Art

[0003] In the prior art, when a terminal measures a Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block (SS / PBCH block, SSB), the protocol stipulates that the terminal cannot transmit data on one symbol on each side of the SSB Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC). As can be seen, the above method limits that the time for measuring SSB by the protocol is within the SMTC window, and only limits the transmission within a certain time length on both sides of the window. Due to the relatively low flexibility of transmission scheduling, the system performance is relatively poor.

These technologies may also be applied to applications other than NR systems, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0020] Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which the embodiments of this application can be applied. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12.

[0021] Here, terminal 11 may also be called terminal equipment or user equipment (UE), and terminal 11 may be terminal-side equipment such as a mobile phone, tablet personal computer, laptop computer (or notebook computer), personal digital assistant (PDA), palmtop computer, netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), mobile internet device (MID), wearable device, or vehicle user equipment (VUE), or pedestrian user equipment (PUE), and wearable devices include bracelets, earphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that this does not limit the specific type of terminal 11 in the embodiments of this application.

[0023] For the sake of understanding, the following describes some aspects of embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] 1. Multi-antenna.

[0025] Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology, by utilizing large antenna arrays, significantly improves the efficiency of system frequency band utilization and can support a greater number of access users. Therefore, research organizations alike consider Massive MIMO technology to be one of the most promising physical layer technologies for next-generation mobile communication systems.

[0026] While employing a fully digital array in Massive MIMO technology can achieve maximized spatial resolution and optimized multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) performance, such an architecture requires a large number of analog-to-digital (AD) / digital-to-analog (DA) conversion devices and a large number of complete radio frequency-baseband processing channels, resulting in significant costs for the equipment and complexity of the baseband processing.

[0027] To avoid the costs and equipment complexity of the above implementation, digital-analog beamforming technology was developed accordingly. This involves adding a beamforming-analog beamforming (or analog forming) component to the radio frequency signal near the antenna system's front-end, in addition to conventional digital field beamforming. Analog forming allows for a rough matching of the transmitted signal to the channel using a relatively simple method. Because the dimensions of the equivalent channel formed after analog forming are smaller than the actual number of antennas, the complexity of the subsequent required AD / DA conversion devices, digital channels, and corresponding baseband processing can all be significantly reduced. Any remaining interference from the analog forming portion can be processed again in the digital field, thereby ensuring the quality of MU-MIMO transmission. Compared to full digital forming, mixed digital-analog beamforming represents a trade-off between performance and complexity, and offers relatively high practical prospects in high-frequency bands with wide bandwidths or very large antenna counts.

[0028] 2. High-frequency band.

[0029] High-frequency bands have relatively abundant idle frequency resources and can provide greater throughput for data transmission. Because high-frequency signals have shorter wavelengths, compared to low-frequency bands, more antenna array elements can be placed on the same-sized antenna panel, and beamforming techniques can be used to create beams with stronger directionality and narrower lobes. Therefore, combining large-scale antennas with high-frequency communications is one of the future trends.

[0030] 3. Regarding beam measurement and beam reporting.

[0031] Analog beamforming is transmitted across the entire bandwidth, and each polarization direction array element on each high-frequency antenna array panel can only transmit the analog beam using a time-division multiplexing scheme. The forming weights for the analog beam are achieved by adjusting the parameters of equipment such as radio frequency front-end phase shifters.

[0032] Generally, a polling method is employed to train analog beamforming vectors. That is, each array element in each polarization direction of each antenna panel transmits training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) sequentially at agreed-upon times using a time-division multiplexing scheme. The terminal then feeds back a beam report after measurement so that the network side can use this training signal when transmitting the next service to achieve analog beam emission. The beam report typically includes several emission beam identifiers to be optimized and the received power of each measured emission beam.

[0033] When performing beam measurements, the network constitutes a Reference Signal resource set (RS resource set), which includes at least one reference signal resource (RS resource), such as a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SS / PBCH block, SSB) resource or a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource. The UE measures the Layer 1 - Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP) / Layer 1 - Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio (L1-SINR) for each RS resource and reports at least one optimized measurement result to the network, which includes a Synchronization Signal Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI) or Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator (CRI), and the corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR. This report reflects at least one optimized beam and its quality so that the network determines the beam information for transmitting channels or signals to the UE.

[0034] IV. Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement mechanism.

[0035] In RRM measurements, the UE measures the reference signal of an adjacent cell and uses this to decide whether or not to switch cells. To avoid short-term fluctuations in measurement results, a series of uniformly distributed measurement samples are generally averaged within the measurement cycle, which may be called a higher layer measurement (e.g., layer 3: L3).

[0036] When measuring the reference signal SSB of an adjacent cell, it is necessary to set a measurement window to measure the timing of the SSB, that is, to set SSB Measurement Timing Configurations (SMTC) to avoid unnecessary measurements and reduce the measured energy loss. The period of the SMTC window may be set to milliseconds (ms), such as 5 / 10 / 20 / 40 / 80 / 160 milliseconds, similar to the SSB, and the measured time interval may be set to 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ms, etc., which is related to the number of SSBs being transmitted. The UE measures the SSB according to the SMTC configuration information and then reports the measurement results to the gNB or performs cell selection.

[0037] 5. Transmission and Receiving Point (TRP).

[0038] In a multi-TRP scenario, if multiple TRPs belong to different cells, there will be different timing information for each TRP. For example, different TRPs and UEs will have different transmission times due to different paths between them, resulting in differences in the time it takes for TRP data to arrive at the UE.

[0039] One thing to explain is that in the embodiments of this application, The beam information mentioned may also be called spatial relation information, spatial domain transmission filter information, spatial filter information, transmission configuration indicator (TCI) status information, quasi-co-location (QCL) information, or QCL parameters. Downlink beam information may generally be represented using TCI status information or QCL information. Uplink beam information may generally be represented using spatial relation information.

[0040] The antenna panels mentioned may also be called antenna groups, antenna port groups, antenna sets, antenna port sets, beam sets, beam subsets, antenna arrays, antenna port arrays, antenna child arrays, antenna port subarrays, logical entities, entities, or antenna entities.

[0041] The panel identifier may be an antenna panel identifier, a reference signal resource identifier, a reference signal resource set identifier, a TCI status identifier, a QCL information identifier, a spatial relationship identifier, or the like.

[0042] The subject mentioned may be a cell, a physical cell, or a TRP.

[0043] The service targets of the terminal mentioned above may also be called the terminal's own target, the terminal's current target, the terminal's current service target, the terminal's primary target, etc. Taking the target as a cell as an example, the terminal's serving cell may also be called the terminal's own cell, the terminal's current cell, the terminal's current serving cell, the terminal's primary cell, etc.

[0044] Other targets of the terminal mentioned above may be called adjacent targets of the terminal, non-self targets of the terminal, non-current targets of the terminal, non-current service targets of the terminal, secondary targets of the terminal, etc. Taking the target as a TRP as an example, TRPs other than the service TRP of the terminal may be called adjacent TRPs of the terminal, non-service TRPs of the terminal, non-self TRPs of the terminal, non-current TRPs of the terminal, non-current service TRPs of the terminal, secondary TRPs of the terminal, etc.

[0045] Identifiers may also be called indexes.

[0046] In the embodiments of this application, one object may correspond to at least one piece of timing information. The timing information corresponding to an object may be understood as timing information obtained by measuring the reference signal of that object.

[0047] When implemented, the terminal can use at least one of the beams and antenna panels as the measurement target, so the number of timing information points corresponding to one target may be related to at least one of the number of beams R used by the terminal when measuring this target and the number of antenna panels W used by the terminal when measuring this target, where R and W are both positive integers. Selectively, the number of timing information points corresponding to one target is less than or equal to a target value, which is equal to the product of R and W.

[0048] For example, suppose a terminal measures target 1 using beam 1 via antenna panel 1 and obtains timing information a, measures target 1 using beam 2 via antenna panel 1 and obtains timing information b, measures target 1 using beam 3 via antenna panel 2 and obtains timing information c, and measures target 1 using beam 4 via antenna panel 2 and obtains timing information d. In this case, the number of timing information pieces corresponding to target 1 is equal to the target value, and these are timing information a, timing information b, timing information c, and timing information d, respectively.

[0049] Suppose the terminal measures target 1 using beam 1 via antenna panel 1 and obtains timing information a, and measures target 1 using beam 3 via antenna panel 2 and obtains timing information c. In this case, the number of timing information pieces corresponding to target 1 is smaller than the target value, and these are timing information a and timing information c, respectively.

[0050] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, one beam may correspond to at least one piece of timing information. The timing information corresponding to a beam may be understood as timing information obtained by measuring using this beam. For example, if a first beam is used to measure and obtain timing information 1 and timing information 2, the timing information corresponding to the first beam includes timing information 1 and timing information 2.

[0051] An antenna panel may correspond to at least one piece of timing information. The timing information corresponding to an antenna panel may be understood as timing information obtained by measurement using this antenna panel (which may also be understood as a beam on this antenna panel). For example, if a first antenna panel is used to measure and obtain timing information 3 and timing information 4, the timing information corresponding to the first antenna panel includes timing information 3 and timing information 4.

[0052] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a flowchart of the information reporting method according to an embodiment of this application. The information reporting method according to an embodiment of this application may be executed by a terminal.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2, the information reporting method may include the following steps.

[0054] Step 201: Report target information to the network-side device, the target information including first information, the first information corresponding to M timing information for P targets.

[0055] Here, the target is a cell, a physical cell, or a transmit / receive point TRP, where M is a positive integer and P is a positive integer less than or equal to M.

[0056] In concrete implementation, the first information corresponding to M timing information for P objects may be understood as the first information including the M timing information for P objects, or the first information being generated based on the M timing information for P objects. If the first information is generated based on the M timing information for P objects, the specific content included in the first information is determined based on the M timing information for P objects.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, for each of the P objects, the M timing information includes at least one timing information corresponding to that object. Selectively, the M timing information for the P objects is If P is equal to M, then each of the P objects corresponds to one piece of timing information. If P is less than M, then at least one of the P objects corresponds to at least two pieces of timing information, and the at least two pieces of timing information are measured using at least one of at least two beams and at least two antenna panels.

[0058] The specific explanation is as follows:

[0059] If P is equal to M, then for each of the P objects, the M timing information pieces include only one timing piece corresponding to that object.

[0060] If P is less than M, then the M timing information may include at least two timing pieces corresponding to the same object among the P objects.

[0061] However, it should be explained that for each of the P objects, the timing information corresponding to this object included in the M timing information may be all of the timing information corresponding to this object or only some of the timing information. In other words, when a terminal decides to report the timing information corresponding to the P objects, it can choose to report all of the timing information corresponding to each of the P objects, or to report some of the timing information corresponding to each of the P objects.

[0062] For example, suppose the number of timing information corresponding to target 1 includes timing information a, timing information b, timing information c, and timing information d. When a terminal decides to report timing information corresponding to target 1, in one selective embodiment, the terminal may report all timing information corresponding to target 1, i.e., timing information a, timing information b, timing information c, and timing information d, and this selective embodiment may correspond to the case where P is less than M. In another selective embodiment, the terminal may report only some of the timing information corresponding to target 1, for example, one of timing information a, timing information b, timing information c, and timing information d, and this selective embodiment may correspond to the case where P is equal to M.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, the timing information corresponding to one of the targets is selectively: The length of time occupied until information is transmitted from the transmitting end to the receiving end, The receiving end has received the target time-domain resource of the information transmitted by the transmitting end, The receiving end has received the number of the target time-domain resource for the information transmitted by the transmitting end, The receiving end has received the boundary where the target time-domain resource of the information transmitted by the transmitting end is located, This may be embodied as any one of the TAs proposed by the aforementioned terminal, but is not limited to them. Here, the transmitting end is one of the object and the terminal, the receiving end is the other of the object and the terminal, the occupied time length may be expressed using time units such as seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds, or using at least one of the number of frames, slots, symbols, or samples, and the target time domain resource may be expressed using at least one of the frames, slots, symbols, or samples.

[0064] In the information reporting method of the embodiment of this application, the terminal reports target information to the network-side device, the target information includes first information, the first information corresponds to M timing information for P objects, where the object is a cell, physical cell, or transmit / receive point TRP, M is a positive integer, and P is a positive integer less than or equal to M. In this way, when the network-side device receives the target information, it can accurately acquire the differences in the timing information of the P objects, and furthermore, based on the differences in the timing information of the P objects, it can schedule the transmission of the terminal to avoid measurement or data interference between each object, thereby improving system performance.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, the terminal can report the target information at the instruction of the network-side device, or it can report the target information conditionally and spontaneously, which may be determined on a case-by-case basis, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0066] The following describes a scenario in which the terminal conditionally reports the aforementioned target information.

[0067] In this scenario, selectively reporting target information to the aforementioned network-side devices is: If the first condition is met, this includes reporting target information to the network-side equipment, Here, the first condition mentioned above must be met. The network-side device has at least two TRP identifier pieces, The network-side equipment has configured or activated at least two cells or physical cells, The difference in timing information between at least two targets is greater than or equal to the first value, The aforementioned network-side device is configured or triggered to carry the target timing information to the Layer 1 measurement report, This may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the network-side device constitutes an uplink resource for reporting the timing information in question.

[0068] The specific explanation is as follows:

[0069] Selectively, if the first condition is satisfied, the network-side device constitutes at least two TRP identifier pieces of information, then the first condition is satisfied. The aforementioned at least two TRP identifier pieces correspond to at least two cell identifiers (cell indexes), The at least two TRP identifiers may further include the following: the at least two TRP identifiers correspond to at least two physical cell identifiers (PCIs).

[0070] In specific implementations, the correspondence between the at least two TRP identifiers and the at least two cell identifiers (or the at least two PCIs) may be a one-to-one correspondence or a many-to-one correspondence. Each of the at least two TRP identifiers may correspond to a different cell identifier (or PCI), or there may be two or more TRP identifiers in the at least two that can correspond to the same cell identifier (or PCI).

[0071] If the first condition is selectively satisfied by including the difference between the timing information of at least two objects being greater than or equal to a first value, then whether or not the difference between the timing information of at least two objects is greater than or equal to a first value may be determined based on the measurement results of the terminal with respect to the reference signals of the at least two objects. Here, the reference signals for the at least two targets are measured using at least one of at least two antenna panels and at least two beams.

[0072] In specific implementations, the terminal can determine, based on the measurement results for the reference signals of the at least two targets, whether the difference in timing information between the at least two targets is greater than or equal to a first value. If the difference in timing information between the at least two targets is greater than or equal to the first value, the terminal can report the target information to the network-side equipment. The first value may be 0 or greater.

[0073] The correspondence between the reference signals of the at least two targets and the at least two antenna panels (or the at least two beams) may be a one-to-one correspondence or a one-to-many correspondence. Among the reference signals of the at least two targets, there may be a reference signal measured using only one antenna panel (or beam), or there may be a reference signal measured using two or more antenna panels (or beams).

[0074] If the first condition being met includes the network-side device being configured or triggered to carry the timing information in question to a Layer 1 measurement report, the Layer 1 (L1) measurement report may, but is not limited to, an L1-RSRP report or an L1-SINR report.

[0075] In the embodiments of this application, as can be seen from the above description, the content included in the first information may be directly the M timing information of the P objects, or it may be information determined based on the M timing information of the P objects, and a specific explanation is as follows.

[0076] Selectively, the first information is, The aforementioned M timing information, The absolute value of the M timing information, MH offset values ​​(or relative values), It may include any one of MH offset values ​​and first reference timing information. Here, the MH offset values ​​include an offset value for the second reference timing information of each of the MH timing pieces of timing information, the MH timing pieces include timing information other than the first reference timing information of the M timing pieces of timing information, the second reference timing information is determined based on the first reference timing information, the first reference timing information is H timing pieces of pre-configured targets, the pre-configured targets are composed of network-side equipment, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined by the terminal, and H is a positive integer.

[0077] The specific explanation is as follows:

[0078] When the pre-configured target is configured by network-side equipment, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined by the terminal, the first information may include the MH offset values ​​and the first reference timing information. When the pre-configured target is configured by network-side equipment or agreed upon by a protocol, the first information may carry only the MH offset values ​​and not the first reference timing information, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0079] In specific cases, the pre-configured target may, but is not limited to, the service target of the terminal.

[0080] The second reference timing information may be any one or more of the H timing information, or may be calculated based on the H timing information. For example, the second reference timing information may be a weighted average or arithmetic mean of some or all of the H timing information, and may be determined specifically on an actual basis. The embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0081] Selectively, if H is greater than 1, the terminal may indicate the second reference timing information in an explicit or implicit manner. For example, if the first information includes the first reference timing information, and the second reference timing information is any one of the H timing pieces, the terminal may set the timing piece that is placed first or last among the H timing pieces as the second reference timing information.

[0082] For the sake of understanding, let's explain with an example as follows.

[0083] The P objects include object 1 and object 2, and the M timing information includes timing information a, timing information b, timing information c and timing information d corresponding to object 1, timing information e, timing information f, timing information g and timing information h corresponding to object 2.

[0084] Simultaneously, assume that the pre-set target is target 1, and the second reference timing information is timing information a. The offset value of timing information e relative to timing information a is denoted as offset1, the offset value of timing information f relative to timing information a is denoted as offset2, the offset value of timing information g relative to timing information a is denoted as offset3, and the offset value of timing information h relative to timing information a is denoted as offset4.

[0085] Then, the first information may include at least offset1, offset2, offset3, and offset4. Furthermore, the first information may further include timing information a, timing information b, timing information c, and timing information d.

[0086] Selectively, the first information may be represented by a quantized value.

[0087] If implemented, the unit of the quantization value may be at least one of the following: frame count, slot count, symbol count, sample count, second, millisecond, microsecond, etc.

[0088] The bit length of the quantized value may be determined by the protocol. For example, if the first information includes offset1, offset2, offset3, and offset4, and offset1 and offset3 represent one symbol, and offset2 and offset4 represent two symbols, the bit length of the quantized value may be 2 bits. For example, if 01 represents one symbol and 10 represents two symbols, the quantized values ​​of offset1 and offset3 may be 01, and the quantized values ​​of offset2 and offset4 may be 10.

[0089] Furthermore, if the first information includes the MH offset values, the first information is, The MH offset values ​​correspond to MH quantization values, Here, the symbol for the first quantization value is used to represent the relationship between the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value and the second reference timing information, and the first quantization value is one of the MH quantization values.

[0090] In this selective embodiment, the quantized value may have a symbol, and the symbol of the quantized value may be used to represent the relationship between the timing information corresponding to this quantized value and the second reference timing information.

[0091] If specifically implemented, the relationship between the timing information corresponding to the quantized value and the second reference timing information is: The timing information corresponding to the quantized value is prior to the second reference timing information, The timing information corresponding to the quantized value is after the second reference timing information, This may include the condition that the timing information corresponding to the quantized value is equal to the second reference timing information.

[0092] Selectively, if the first quantization value is greater than 0, the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value is before the second reference timing information; if the first quantization value is less than 0, the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value is after the second reference timing information; or if the first quantization value is greater than 0, the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value is after the second reference timing information; if the first quantization value is less than 0, the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value is before the second reference timing information. Specifically, this may be determined on a case-by-case basis, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto. Also, if the first quantization value is equal to 0, the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value is equal to the second reference timing information.

[0093] For the sake of understanding, we will explain as follows, using the example that the quantization values ​​of offset1 and offset3 are 01, and the quantization values ​​of offset2 and offset4 are 10.

[0094] Assume that timing information e and timing information f both precede timing information a, and timing information g and timing information h both follow timing information a.

[0095] Simultaneously, if the first quantization value is greater than 0, the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value is before the second reference timing information, and if the first quantization value is less than 0, the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value is after the second reference timing information.

[0096] Then, the quantized value corresponding to offset1 (the offset value of timing information e relative to timing information a) is +01, the quantized value corresponding to offset2 (the offset value of timing information f relative to timing information a) is +10, the quantized value corresponding to offset3 (the offset value of timing information g relative to timing information a) is -01, and the quantized value corresponding to offset4 (the offset value of timing information h relative to timing information a) is -10.

[0097] In the embodiments of this application, if there are target objects corresponding to at least two timing pieces of information for each of the P objects, in the first reporting method, the terminal can report two or more timing pieces of information corresponding to this target object, and in the second reporting method, the terminal can report only one object piece of information corresponding to this target object. The specific reporting method to be adopted may be determined on a case-by-case basis, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0098] In some embodiments, selectively, the P objects include target objects corresponding to L timing information, where L is an integer greater than 1. Then, the M timing information includes J timing information corresponding to the target objects, the value of which J is determined based on the capabilities of the terminal, and J is a positive integer less than or equal to L.

[0099] In other words, the decision of whether to adopt the first or second reporting method described above may be made based on the capabilities of the terminal.

[0100] Selectively, the value of J is If the terminal supports multiple activated antenna panels or beam transmissions and supports at least two timing information processing capabilities or at least two TAs, then J is greater than 1 and less than or equal to L. If the terminal supports only one of the following: a single activated antenna panel, a single activated beam transmission, a single timing information processing capability, or a single TA, then J=1.

[0101] In other words, if the terminal supports multiple activated antenna panels or beam transmissions and supports at least two timing information processing capabilities or at least two TAs, the first reporting method can be adopted, that is, two or more timing information can be reported for each target object. If the terminal supports only a single activated antenna panel, a single activated beam transmission, a single timing information processing capability, or a single TA, a second reporting method can be adopted, namely, reporting only one piece of timing information for each target.

[0102] In the embodiments of this application, the network-side equipment can configure which timing information a terminal reports, and the terminal can decide which timing information to report based on the measurement results. In other words, which timing information a terminal reports may be configured by the network-side equipment or determined by the terminal.

[0103] For the sake of convenience, all objects configured by the network or determined by the terminal will be referred to as K objects, where K is an integer greater than or equal to P.

[0104] Selectively, the P objects may include some or all of the K objects. Here, the K objects are composed of network-side equipment or determined by the terminal, and K is an integer greater than or equal to P.

[0105] In other words, the terminal may report at least one timing piece corresponding to each of all objects configured by the network or determined by the terminal, or it may report only at least one timing piece corresponding to each of some of all objects configured by the network or determined by the terminal.

[0106] Furthermore, if the P objects include some of the K objects, then any one of the P objects is: The absolute value of the timing information is greater than or equal to the second value, The offset value of the second reference timing information relative to the timing information is greater than or equal to the third value, and either of these conditions is met. Here, the second reference timing information is determined based on the first reference timing information, the first reference timing information is H timing information for a predetermined target, the predetermined target is composed of network-side equipment, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined by the terminal, and H is a positive integer.

[0107] Regarding matters that need to be explained, the pre-defined objects in this selective embodiment, the first reference object and the second reference object, can be described in the above description and will not be explained further here.

[0108] If there are objects corresponding to at least two timing pieces of information for the P objects, then the timing piece whose absolute value is greater than or equal to the second value (or the timing piece whose offset value relative to the second reference timing piece is greater than or equal to the third value) may be the timing piece of this object. In this case, if there is one timing piece for any one of the K objects whose corresponding timing piece has an absolute value greater than or equal to the second value (or there is one timing piece whose offset value relative to the second reference timing piece is greater than or equal to the third value), then this object may belong to the P objects. Furthermore, the terminal can report all the timing pieces of information for this object whose absolute value is greater than or equal to the second value (or the timing piece whose offset value relative to the second reference timing piece is greater than or equal to the third value), and in this case, as can be understood, each of the M timing pieces of information satisfies either the absolute value being greater than or equal to the second value, or the offset value relative to the second reference timing piece being greater than or equal to the third value.

[0109] Timing information whose absolute value is greater than or equal to the second value (or timing information whose offset value relative to the second reference timing information is greater than or equal to the third value) may be all of the timing information for this object. In this case, if any one of the K objects has timing information corresponding to it whose absolute value is less than the second value (or timing information whose offset value relative to the second reference timing information is less than the third value), then this object does not belong to the P objects.

[0110] In specific cases, the second value may be 0 or greater, the third value may be 0 or greater, and the second value and the third value may be equal or not equal.

[0111] In embodiments of this application, the target information may optionally further include identifier information for at least one of the objects, beams, and antenna panels corresponding to the M timing information. In this way, after receiving the target information, network-side equipment can accurately determine the correspondence between the M timing information and at least one of the objects, beams, and antenna panels, and can further accurately execute scheduling constraints and improve system performance.

[0112] In the embodiments of this application, the target information is selectively included by either a Layer 1 measurement report or a Media Access Control (MAC) control unit (Control Element, CE).

[0113] Below, we will describe Scenario 1, in which the target information is included in the Layer 1 measurement report, and Scenario 2, in which the target information is included in the MAC CE.

[0114] Scenario 1: The target information is included in the Layer 1 measurement report.

[0115] In Scenario 1, the format of the Layer 1 measurement report carrying the target information may be N SSBRI / CRI + N L1-RSRP / L1-SINR + the target information.

[0116] In Scenario 1, if the Layer 1 measurement report selectively includes a reference signal resource indication, the reference signal resource indication may correspond to the reference signal resource of at least one first object, the first object being any one other than the service object of the terminal.

[0117] In Scenario 1, at least one identifier information among the target corresponding to the M timing information, the beam, and the antenna panel may be explicitly or implicitly reported by the Layer 1 measurement report.

[0118] Selectively, the Layer 1 measurement report is, a) The Layer 1 measurement report further includes identifier information for at least one of the following: the target corresponding to the M timing information, the beam, and the antenna panel. b) The first information is arranged in the Layer 1 measurement report according to the first rule, the first rule is used to determine at least one of the objects, beams, and antenna panels corresponding to the M pieces of timing information, c) If the Layer 1 measurement report includes a reference signal resource instruction, at least one of the following conditions is met: the M timing information items and the reference signal resource instruction have a corresponding relationship.

[0119] If the Layer 1 measurement report satisfies a), the Layer 1 measurement report explicitly reports at least one identifier information among the target corresponding to the M timing information, the beam, and the antenna panel.

[0120] If the Layer 1 measurement report satisfies b) and c), the Layer 1 measurement report implicitly reports at least one identifier information among the target corresponding to the M timing information, the beam, and the antenna panel. In this way, signaling overhead can be saved compared to an explicit reporting method.

[0121] The specific explanation is as follows:

[0122] b) In this case, the terminal adopts a first rule corresponding to at least one of the objects corresponding to the M timing information, the beam, and the antenna panel, and in this way, the network-side equipment can determine at least one of the objects corresponding to the M timing information, the beam, and the antenna panel based on the placement location of the first information. In specific implementations, the first rule may be agreed upon by a protocol or agreed upon in advance by the network-side equipment or the terminal, and may be determined on a case-by-case basis, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0123] In (c), the M timing pieces and the reference signal resource instruction have a correspondence relationship, and in this way, the network-side equipment can know the object to which the reference signal resource corresponding to the reference signal resource instruction corresponding to each timing piece belongs, the beam, and the antenna panel, by at least one of the object, beam, and antenna panel.

[0124] Scenario 2: The target information is stored in MAC CE.

[0125] Selectively, the MAC CE is 1) The MAC CE is a MAC CE of a first format, and the MAC CE of the first format carries the target information by a first field, 2) The MAC CE is a MAC CE of a second format for carrying the target information.

[0126] If the MAC CE satisfies 1), the MAC CE may carry the target information by its first field and other information by its other fields. The first field may be understood as a field newly added to the MAC CE for carrying other signaling messages, and dedicated to carrying the target information.

[0127] If the MAC CE satisfies 2), the MAC CE may be understood as a MAC CE dedicated to carrying the newly added target information.

[0128] Selectively, the MAC CE is Timing Advance Command (MAC CE) and Absolute Timing Advance Command (MAC CE) and Power Headroom Report (PHR) MAC CE and, It may be either activation or deactivation of a secondary cell (SCell) MAC CE.

[0129] Selectively, the MAC CE may be transmitted using grants configured by network-side devices, such as configured grants or dynamic grants.

[0130] Furthermore, the authorization configured by the network-side device may be an authorization exclusive to the MAC CE, or it may be a multiplexing of the most recent available authorization, and may be specifically determined on a case-by-case basis, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0131] In the embodiments of this application, the network-side equipment may, after receiving the target information, determine the TA of at least one of the K targets based on the target information, or determine the channel or RS transmission method based on the target information, and a specific explanation is as follows.

[0132] Embodiment 1

[0133] Selectively, after reporting target information to the network-side device, the method proceeds as follows: To receive Q TAs transmitted by the aforementioned network-side device, The method further includes determining the TA for each of the K objects based on the Q TAs and / or at least one of the M timing pieces of timing information, Here, the K objects are composed of network-side equipment or determined by the terminal, where K is a positive integer and Q is a positive integer less than or equal to K.

[0134] Selectively, the Q TAs are i) The Q TAs include only those TAs that are configured by the network side, agreed upon by the protocol, or determined by the terminal and are pre-configured. ii) The Q TAs include the TA of each of the K objects, iii) The Q TAs include only the target TAs corresponding to the M timing information.

[0135] If the Q TAs satisfy i), the network-side device may determine only the TAs that are the pre-configured targets, and the TAs of the other K targets that are not the pre-configured targets may be determined by the difference (or relative value, offset value) between their timing information and the timing information of the pre-configured targets. In specific implementations, the pre-configured targets may, but are not limited to, the service targets of the terminal.

[0136] If the Q TAs satisfy ii), when the network-side equipment determines the TA for each of the K objects, the terminal can directly determine the TA for each of the K objects after receiving the Q TAs, eliminating the need for further calculations and thereby reducing the operational burden on the terminal.

[0137] If the Q TAs satisfy iii), the network-side device may determine only the T for the target corresponding to the M timing information, and the TAs for the other K targets that do not correspond to the M timing information may be determined by the difference (or relative value, offset value) between their timing information and the timing information of the pre-set target.

[0138] It should be explained that when a subject corresponds to two or more timing pieces of information, the TA of the subject may be determined based on any one of the corresponding timing pieces of information, or it may be determined based on the average value of all the corresponding timing pieces of information, such as a weighted average or an arithmetic mean, or it may be determined on a case-by-case basis, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0139] For the sake of understanding, let's explain with an example as follows.

[0140] Assume that the K objects include TRP0 and TRP1, where TRP0 corresponds to timing information 0, TRP1 corresponds to timing information 1, timing information 0 precedes timing information 1, and there is a gap of two slots between timing information 0 and timing information 1.

[0141] At the same time, the network-side equipment determines that the TA for TRP0 has 6 slots, but does not determine the TA for TRP1.

[0142] Then, the terminal can determine the TA of TRP1 as eight slots based on the TA of TRP0 transmitted by the network-side device, and the relationship between timing information 0 and timing information 1.

[0143] In Embodiment 1, after determining the TA for each of the K objects, the terminal can match the uplinks of the K objects based on the TA for each of the K objects. In this way, network-side equipment (or the objects) can receive information transmitted by each terminal at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of information reception, avoiding mutual interference between multiple uplink information, and further improving system performance.

[0144] Embodiment 2

[0145] Selectively, after reporting target information to the network-side device, the method proceeds as follows: The process further includes determining whether to perform a transmission or reception operation for a second piece of information of a second object based on the aforementioned target information. Here, the second object is the service target of the terminal, and the second information includes at least one of a channel and a reference signal.

[0146] If specifically implemented, if the second information includes at least one of a downlink channel and a downlink RS, then deciding whether or not to perform a transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second object may specifically be embodied as deciding whether or not to perform a reception operation of the second information of the second object.

[0147] If the second information includes at least one of the uplink channel and the uplink RS, deciding whether or not to perform a transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second object may specifically be embodied as deciding whether or not to transmit the second information to the second object.

[0148] It should be explained that the transmission or reception of the second information of the second object is scheduled by the network-side equipment, and that is, whether the network-side equipment transmits at least one of the downlink channel and downlink RS of the second object, and / or whether the terminal is allowed to transmit at least one of the uplink channel and uplink RS of the second object, may be determined by the network-side equipment.

[0149] Selectively controlling the transmission or reception operation of a second information of a second object based on the aforementioned target information is: Within the target time period, the transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second target shall be stopped, If the second condition is met, this includes either performing a transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second subject within the target time period, Here, the target time period satisfies at least one of the following conditions: the first start time of the target time period is before the second start time of the transmission and reception time of the third information of the first object; the first end time of the target time period is after the second end time of the transmission and reception time of the third information of the first object; the first object is any one object other than the second object; and the third information includes at least one of a channel and a reference signal, or is a reference signal for measuring timing information.

[0150] The specific explanation is as follows:

[0151] In case 1, controlling the transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second target based on the aforementioned target information is specifically embodied in stopping the execution of the transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second target within the target time period.

[0152] In case 1, if it is within the target time period, the terminal will stop transmitting or receiving the second information of the second target, regardless of whether the second condition is met or not.

[0153] In other words, in case 1, within T1, which is before the start time of the transmission / reception time of the third information of the first object, and within T2, which is after the transmission / reception time of the third information of the first object and the end time of the transmission / reception time of the third information of the first object, the terminal stops performing the transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second object.

[0154] In case 2, controlling the transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second object based on the target information is specifically embodied in performing the transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second object within the target time period when the second condition is met.

[0155] In case 2, within the target time period, the terminal further determines whether the second condition is met. If the second condition is met, the terminal may perform a transmission or reception operation for the second information of the second object; otherwise, the terminal may perform a transmission or reception operation for the second information of the second object.

[0156] In other words, in case 2, if the second condition is met, the terminal may be in T1 before the start time of the transmission / reception time of the third information of the first object, and in T2 after the transmission / reception time of the third information of the first object and the end time of the transmission / reception time of the third information of the first object, and the terminal will perform a transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second object.

[0157] Here, T1 is the time interval between the first start time and the second start time, and T2 is the time interval between the first end time and the second end time. T1 and T2 may be 0 or greater, and may be set according to the actual circumstances, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0158] Selectively, T1 and T2 are determined based on the timing information of the first and second objects.

[0159] In specific cases, if the number of timing information corresponding to the first object (or the second object) is greater than 1, T1 and T2 are determined based on the target timing information of the first object and the second object. Selectively, both T1 and T2 may be greater than or equal to the absolute value of the difference between the target timing information of the first object and the second object.

[0160] Here, the target timing information of the first object (or the second object) may be the timing information of either one of the first object (or the second object), or the target timing information of the first object (or the second object) may be equal to the target value, and the target value may be calculated based on the timing information of the first object (or the second object), for example, the target value may be the average or maximum value of all the timing information of the first object (or the second object), but is not limited to these.

[0161] Selectively, the second condition is, The terminal performs a transmission or reception operation on the frequency band of frequency range 1, which includes transmitting or receiving at least one of the third information of the first target and the second information of the second target. The third piece of information of the first object and the second piece of information of the second object satisfy a quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship, or have the same spatial relationship, or correspond to the same source reference signal. The terminal satisfies either of the following conditions: it supports simultaneously performing the transmission or reception operation of the third information of the first object and the second information of the second object.

[0162] Furthermore, if the second condition is satisfied, and the terminal supports the simultaneous transmission or reception of the third information of the first object and the second information of the second object, then the second condition is satisfied. The terminal includes at least one antenna panel, The second piece of information and the third piece of information are determined by the network-side equipment based on a packet beam report, or any one of these is further included.

[0163] Selectively, the second information is information that is transmitted repeatedly. Of course, in other embodiments, the second information does not have to be information that is transmitted repeatedly.

[0164] For the sake of understanding, the following explanation will use Case 1 and TRP0 and TRP1 as examples.

[0165] The above TRP0 corresponds to timing information 0, and the above TRP1 corresponds to timing information 1. Timing information 0 is before timing information 1, and there is a gap of one symbol between timing information 0 and timing information 1.

[0166] Both the downlink RS0 of TRP0 and the downlink RS1 of TRP1 are transmitted with symbol X, and downlink RS0 arrives at the terminal with symbol X. However, due to the relatively long propagation path and multipath propagation, downlink symbol RS1 may arrive at the terminal between symbol X and symbol X+1. At the same time, assume that TRP0 is the terminal's service TRP.

[0167] At this time, the network-side equipment stops transmitting on the TRP0 downlink RS0 within the arrival time symbols X and X+1 of the TRP1 downlink RS1.

[0168] In other words, in case 1 above, the terminal stops receiving the second information from TRP0 within the transmission time of the third information from TRP1 (symbol X) and the subsequent one symbol (symbol X+1), and accordingly, the network-side equipment stops transmitting the second information from TRP0 within the transmission time of the third information from TRP1 (symbol X) and the subsequent one symbol (symbol X+1).

[0169] Referring to Figure 3, Figure 3 is a flowchart of the information receiving method according to the embodiment of this application. The information receiving method according to the embodiment of this application is performed by network-side equipment.

[0170] As shown in Figure 3, the information reception method may include the following steps.

[0171] Step 301: The terminal receives target information reported by the terminal, the target information includes first information, and the first information corresponds to M timing information for P targets.

[0172] Here, the target is a cell, a physical cell, or a transmit / receive point TRP, where M is a positive integer and P is a positive integer less than or equal to M.

[0173] In the information reporting method of the embodiment of this application, the network-side device receives target information reported by the terminal, and the target information includes first information, the first information corresponds to M timing information of P objects, where the object is a cell, physical cell, or transmit / receive point TRP, M is a positive integer, and P is a positive integer less than or equal to M. In this way, when the network-side device receives the target information, it can accurately acquire the differences in the timing information of the P objects, and furthermore, based on the differences in the timing information of the P objects, it can schedule the transmission of the terminal to avoid measurement or data interference between each object, thereby improving system performance.

[0174] Selectively, the first information is, The aforementioned M timing information, The absolute value of the M timing information, MH offset values, It includes one of MH offset values ​​and the first reference timing information, Here, the MH offset values ​​include an offset value for the second reference timing information of each of the MH timing pieces of timing information, the MH timing pieces include timing information other than the first reference timing information of the M timing pieces of timing information, the second reference timing information is determined based on the first reference timing information, the first reference timing information is H timing pieces of pre-configured targets, the pre-configured targets are composed of network-side equipment, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined by the terminal, and H is a positive integer.

[0175] Selectively, the first piece of information is represented by a quantized value.

[0176] Selectively, if the first information includes the MH offset values, the first information is The MH offset values ​​correspond to MH quantization values, Here, the symbol for the first quantization value is used to represent the relationship between the timing information corresponding to the first quantization value and the second reference timing information, and the first quantization value is one of the MH quantization values.

[0177] Selectively, the M timing information for the P objects is If P is equal to M, then each of the P objects corresponds to one piece of timing information. If P is less than M, then at least one of the P objects corresponds to at least two pieces of timing information, and the at least two pieces of timing information are measured using at least one of at least two beams and at least two antenna panels.

[0178] Selectively, the P objects include some or all of the K objects. Here, the K objects are composed of network-side equipment or determined by the terminal, and K is an integer greater than or equal to P.

[0179] If, selectively, the P objects include some of the K objects, then any one of the P objects is: The absolute value of the timing information is greater than or equal to the second value, The offset value of the second reference timing information relative to the timing information is greater than or equal to the third value, and either of these conditions is met. Here, the second reference timing information is determined based on the first reference timing information, the first reference timing information is H timing information for a predetermined target, the predetermined target is composed of network-side equipment, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined by the terminal, and H is a positive integer.

[0180] Selectively, the target information further includes identifier information for at least one of the following: an object corresponding to the M timing pieces, a beam, and an antenna panel.

[0181] Selectively, the target information is loaded by either the Layer 1 measurement report or the media access control MAC control unit CE.

[0182] If the Layer 1 measurement report selectively includes a reference signal resource indication, the reference signal resource indication corresponds to a reference signal resource of at least one first object, the first object being any one object other than the service object of the terminal.

[0183] Selectively, the Layer 1 measurement report is, The Layer 1 measurement report further includes identifier information for at least one of the following: the target corresponding to the M timing pieces, the beam, and the antenna panel. The first information is arranged in the Layer 1 measurement report according to a first rule, the first rule is used to determine at least one of the objects corresponding to the M pieces of timing information, the beam, and the antenna panel. If the Layer 1 measurement report includes a reference signal resource instruction, at least one of the following conditions is met: the M timing information items and the reference signal resource instruction have a corresponding relationship.

[0184] Selectively, the MAC CE is The MAC CE is a MAC CE of a first format, and the MAC CE of the first format carries the target information by a first field. The MAC CE satisfies either of the following conditions: the MAC CE is a MAC CE of a second format for carrying the target information.

[0185] Selectively, after receiving the target information reported by the terminal, the method The method further includes transmitting Q TAs to the aforementioned terminal, where Q is a positive integer.

[0186] Selectively, the Q TAs are The Q TAs include only those TAs that are pre-configured by the network side, agreed upon by the protocol, or determined by the terminal, The Q TAs include the TA of each of the K objects, the K objects are composed of network-side equipment or determined by the terminal, and K is a positive integer. The Q TAs satisfy one of the following conditions: they include only the target TAs corresponding to the M timing information.

[0187] Selectively, after receiving the target information reported by the terminal, the method The method further includes controlling the transmission or reception operation of a second information of a second target based on the aforementioned target information. Here, the second object is the service target of the terminal, and the second information includes at least one of a channel and a reference signal.

[0188] Selectively controlling the transmission or reception operation of a second information of a second object based on the aforementioned target information is: Within the target time period, the transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second target shall be stopped, If the second condition is met, this includes either performing a transmission or reception operation of the second information of the second subject within the target time period, Here, the target time period satisfies at least one of the following conditions: the first start time of the target time period is before the second start time of the transmission and reception time of the third information of the first object; the first end time of the target time period is after the second end time of the transmission and reception time of the third information of the first object; the first object is any one object other than the second object; and the third information includes at least one of a channel and a reference signal, or is a reference signal for measuring timing information.

[0189] Selectively, the second condition is, The terminal performs a transmission or reception operation on the frequency band of frequency range 1, which includes transmitting or receiving at least one of the third information of the first target and the second information of the second target. The third information of the first object and the second information of the second object satisfy a pseudo-collocation relationship, or have the same spatial relationship, or correspond to the same source reference signal. The terminal satisfies either of the following conditions: it supports simultaneously performing the transmission or reception operation of the third information of the first object and the second information of the second object.

[0190] Selectively, if the second condition is satisfied that the terminal supports simultaneously performing the transmission or reception operation of the third information of the first object and the second information of the second object, then the second condition is satisfied. The terminal includes at least one antenna panel, The second piece of information and the third piece of information are determined by the network-side equipment based on a packet beam report, or any one of these is further included.

[0191] Selectively, T1 and T2 are determined based on the timing information of the first object and the second object. Here, T1 is the time interval between the first start time and the second start time, and T2 is the time interval between the first end time and the second end time.

[0192] Selectively, the second piece of information is information that is repeatedly transmitted.

[0193] It should be explained that this embodiment is an embodiment of network-side equipment corresponding to the embodiment of the method in Figure 2. Therefore, one should refer to the relevant explanation in the embodiment of the method in Figure 2, and the same beneficial effects can be achieved. To avoid repetition, no further explanation is provided here.

[0194] It should be noted that the various optional embodiments described in the embodiments of this application may be implemented in combination with each other or individually, and are not limited to the embodiments of this application.

[0195] For the sake of understanding, let's explain with an example as follows.

[0196] This embodiment may include at least one of the following steps.

[0197] (1) If the pre-configured conditions are met, the UE reports timing information to the network.

[0198] a) The conditions that are set in advance are: i. Multiple TRP identifier information configured by the network corresponds to different cell index / PCI, ii. The network constitutes multiple TRP identifier information, iii. The network has configured or activated multiple cells / physical cells, iv. There is a difference in the timing information of at least two cells / physical cells / TRPs, or the difference is greater than or equal to a preset value (the existence of a difference in the timing information of at least two cells / physical cells / TRPs, or the difference being greater than or equal to a preset value, is determined based on the measurement results of the reference signals of the two cells / physical cells / TRPs of the terminal, and the above measurement may be performed by the UE using different antenna panels and / or different beams), v. The network is configured or triggered to carry timing information to the L1-RSRP report and L1-SINR report. vi. The network constitutes an uplink resource for reporting timing information, which may include one of these.

[0199] b) The timing information to be reported includes: i. Timing information of multiple cells / physical cells / TRPs, ii. The absolute value of the timing information of multiple cells / physical cells / TRPs, iii. Relative or offset values ​​of timing information for multiple cells / physical cells / TRPs, iv. The timing information of multiple cells / physical cells / TRPs may include either a relative value or an offset value (offset) or reference timing information.

[0200] For example, N TRPs each belong to N cells, and the UE determines N timing information, i.e., N timings, after measurement. The UE uses the timing of its own cell / current cell / serving cell / current serving cell as a reference and calculates offset values ​​offset1, offset2, ..., offsetN-1 for the reference timing of the remaining N-1 timings.

[0201] The reference timing information may be set as a single value or as multiple values. For example, it may be measured by two panels for each TRP, and both of these may be used as reference values.

[0202] Timing information may include the signal propagation time from a cell / physical cell / TRP to the UE, the number of the target time-domain resource for the signal transmitted by the UE from the cell / physical cell / TRP, and the boundary or proposed TA of the cell / physical cell / TRP where the number of the target time-domain resource for the signal transmitted by the UE from the cell / physical cell / TRP is located. The units of timing information may be expressed using the number of frames, slots, symbols, samples, etc., or using time units such as seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds.

[0203] The timing information of the multiple cells / physical cells / TRPs described above may be specifically embodied in all or some of the timing information of the multiple cells / physical cells / TRPs.

[0204] Further limitation: Timing information (or timing relationship) can only be reported if the timing information of a particular cell / physical cell / TRP meets predefined conditions.

[0205] The absolute value is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. The timing offset value relative to the reference timing is greater than or equal to a certain preset value.

[0206] For example, if the offset is less than the delta, it will not be reported; it will only be reported if the offset is greater than or equal to the delta.

[0207] The timing information signaling format is: 1. Units include frames, slots, symbols, samples, seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, etc. 2. Determine the quantization value of each timing information, and the bit length of the quantization value may be determined by the protocol. 3. Alternatively, the quantized value of the relative value may be determined, and the bit length of the quantized value may be agreed upon by the protocol.

[0208] For example, if three TRPs each belong to three cells, and the UE measures and determines three timing values, and uses its own cell's timing value as a reference to calculate the other two timing values ​​to obtain offset1 and offset2, which are one symbol and two symbols respectively, then two bits are used. For example, 01 means offset = 1 symbol, and 10 means offset = 2 symbols.

[0209] For example, relative values ​​may include both positive and negative values. A positive value indicates that the timing information is after the reference value, while a negative value indicates that the timing information is before or after the reference value.

[0210] For example, a relative value of 0 may indicate that the timing information is the same as the reference value.

[0211] c) Report format: i. Report in the L1-RSRP report or L1-SINR report.

[0212] 1. The format consists of N SSBRI / CRI values ​​+ N L1-RSRP / L1-SINR values ​​+ M timing information values.

[0213] 2. Selectively, always report timing information for the cell / physical cell / TRP to which the SSB resource / CSI-RS resource corresponding to all N SSBRI / CRIs belongs.

[0214] For example, if an L1 report contains four SSBRI / CRIs and two cells / physical cells / TRPs to which the corresponding SSB resources / CSI-RS resources belong, the timing information for these two cells / physical cells / TRPs should always be reported, and may be either absolute or relative values ​​as described above.

[0215] 3. Selectively, if a cell / physical cell / TRP to which N SSBRI / CRI-corresponding SSB resources / CSI-RS resources belong contains timing information that satisfies pre-set conditions for that cell / physical cell / TRP, the timing information for that cell / physical cell / TRP can be reported, and furthermore, only the timing information that satisfies those pre-set conditions can be reported.

[0216] 4. Selectively, for N SSBRI / CRIs, correspond to the SSB resource / CSI-RS resource of at least one adjacent cell / physical cell / TRP, and in this case, report always as in 2, or conditionally report the timing information of these cells / physical cells / TRPs as in 3.

[0217] 5. Selectively, the timing information for each cell / physical cell / TRP that needs to be reported above shall include at least one of the following:

[0218] a) Timing information corresponding to at least one beam information, and the corresponding beam information.

[0219] For example, when measuring the timing information of a cell / physical cell / TRP, if the UE measures timing1 using beam1 and timing2 using beam2, it can always report timing1 corresponding to beam1 and timing2 corresponding to beam2, or conditionally report them, along with the corresponding beam identifier or index information.

[0220] b) Timing information corresponding to at least one panel information, and the corresponding panel information.

[0221] For example, it is similar to the above. Panel information can also be the panel ID.

[0222] What needs to be explained is that the timing information for each cell / physical cell / TRP reported is: A: One object corresponds to one timing, B: A single object corresponds to multiple timings, and each is obtained by measuring with multiple panels and / or multiple beams. C: Each panel corresponds to one timing, D: At least one of the following conditions may be met: one beam corresponds to one timing.

[0223] Each of the above items determines whether or not at least one of the following is included in the report: the target identifier, the panel ID, and the beam identifier (generally the RS resource index).

[0224] 6. Selectively report cell / physical cell / TRP information and / or panel identifier information and / or beam identifier information corresponding to each timing information.

[0225] The reporting method for cell / physical cell / TRP information and / or panel identifier information and / or beam identifier information corresponding to each timing information is as follows: a) The cell / physical cell / TRP information and / or panel identifier information and / or beam identifier information, such as cell index, PCI, TRP id (Control Resource Set Pool (CORESET Pool) Index), may be explicitly reported, b) Report the timing information for the cell index, PCI, TRP id and / or panel identifier information and / or beam identifier information in a pre-agreed order, c) In the L1 report, it may be possible to determine from either the identifier information of the cell / physical cell / TRP and / or panel and / or beam to which the SSB resource / CSI-RS resource corresponding to the SSBRI / CRI corresponding to each timing information belongs, or the identifier information of the beam.

[0226] ii. Report at MAC CE.

[0227] 1. The MAC CE may have a field added to any one of the following MAC CEs in order to carry information such as cell / physical cell / TRP timing information, cell index, PCI, TRP id, beam information, panel information, etc.

[0228] The aforementioned MAC CE is, a) Timing Advance Command MAC CE and b) Absolute Timing Advance Command MAC CE; c) PHR MAC CE and, d) Either SCell / Deactivation MAC CE is acceptable.

[0229] 2. The MAC CE transmits using a grant configured by the network.

[0230] A grant, which is configured by a network, a) The grant configured by the network may be a configured grant, a dynamic grant, or the like. b) The grant configured by the network may be a grant dedicated to the MAC CE, or a multiplexed version of the latest available grants, c) Relying on UE capabilities to determine the timing information and other messages to be reported may satisfy at least one of the following:

[0231] i. For example, if the UE supports multiple activated panels / multiple beam transmissions and also supports multiple timing processing capabilities or multiple TAs, it can report timing information corresponding to multiple panels / beams.

[0232] ii. For example, if the UE supports only a single timing processing capacity or a single TA, it will report only one timing piece of information for each cell / physical cell / TRP.

[0233] (2) The network may perform at least one of the following operations based on the timing information reported by the UE:

[0234] a) Determine the Teaching Assistant (TA).

[0235] i. Determine only one TA.

[0236] 1. This TA corresponds to a pre-configured cell / physical cell / TRP.

[0237] Optionally, the pre-set cell / physical cell / TRP may be the present cell / physical cell / TRP, the current cell / physical cell / TRP, the serving cell / physical cell / TRP, the current serving cell / physical cell / TRP, or the reference cell / physical cell / TRP.

[0238] 2. The TA of the remaining cell / physical cell / TRP is determined based on the difference in timing information between the TA, the remaining cell / physical cell / TRP, and the pre-set cell / physical cell / TRP.

[0239] ii. Determine at least one TA.

[0240] The at least one TA corresponds to all cell / physical cell / TRP and any one of the cell / physical cell / TRP corresponding to the timing information reported by the UE.

[0241] b) Determine the transmission mode of the channel or RS.

[0242] i. During the time of the channel or RS transmission of the adjacent cell / physical cell / TRP and within the time length T1 before this time and / or within the time length T2 after this time, the self / current / serving / current serving / master cell / physical cell / TRP does not transmit the channel or RS.

[0243] 1. When there are multiple adjacent cell / physical cell / TRP, the above rules are adopted for each cell / physical cell / TRP.

[0244] 2. The T1 and T2 are determined based on the timing information of each cell / physical cell / TRP measured by the UE.

[0245] For example, if two TRPs belong to two cells and the timing offset between TRP2 and TRP1 is one symbol, in the case of the TRP2 transmission channel or RS, in order to avoid interference from TRP1, within the time of the TRP2 transmission channel or RS and within one subsequent symbol, neither the channel nor the RS is transmitted on TRP1.

[0246] 3. For the above transmission, in the case of a downlink channel or RS, it is transmitted by the network side device of the cell / physical cell / TRP and received by the UE. Not transmitting means not transmitting and / or not receiving. In the case of an uplink channel or RS, it is received by the network side device of the cell / physical cell / TRP and transmitted by the UE. Not transmitting means not transmitting and / or not receiving.

[0247] 4. The channel and RS may include at least one of a downlink channel, a downlink RS, an uplink channel, and an uplink RS.

[0248] 5. The channel or RS adopts a repetition transmission method, such as Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) repetition, Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) repetition, Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) repetition, Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetition.

[0249] a) When the channel or RS is transmitted by the self / current / service / current service / master cell / physical cell / TRP, if several repetitions of the channel or RS occur within the above time, these several transmissions are stopped.

[0250] b) If the channel or RS is repeatedly transmitted on the self / current / service / current service / master cell / physical cell / TRP and adjacent cell / physical cell / TRP, the transmission shall be stopped for a certain number of repeated transmissions that occur on the self / current cell / serving cell / current serving cell within the given time.

[0251] ii. In contrast to the above i, the current service / master cell / physical cell / TRP may transmit a channel or RS in the following cases:

[0252] 1. At least one of the adjacent cell / physical cell / TRP and the self / current / service / current service / master cell / physical cell / TRP transmits a channel or RS in the frequency band of UE and FR1.

[0253] 2. The channels or RS of the adjacent cell / physical cell / TRP and the current service / current service / master cell / physical cell / TRP are of the QCL, and for example, the beam information is the same, and both may be frequency-division multiplexed.

[0254] 3. Channels or RSs and UEs between adjacent cells / physical cells / TRPs and the current service / master cell / physical cell / TRP can be received simultaneously.

[0255] a) In this case, the UE may have one panel or multiple panels. b) The simultaneous reception described above may be multiple channels or RSs from different cells / physical cells / TRPs, determined by the network side based on the UE's group-based beam report.

[0256] In the embodiments of this application, the UE can report timing information for multiple cells / physical cells / TRPs. Furthermore, the L1 report or MAC CE report to be used, the specific format design, the determination of the reported timing information based on the UE's capabilities, the method for determining the TA, and the channel transmission limit determined based on the timing information reported by the UE are further specified, including the trigger conditions to be reported, the information content (timing offset), and the signaling format. As can be seen, the embodiments of this application propose a method by which the UE reports timing information corresponding to cells / physical cells / TRPs, and by accelerating the reporting process through L1 and L2 signaling, the network can accurately know the differences in timing information for each cell / physical cell / TRP, thereby enabling the scheduling of channel transmissions while avoiding interference with adjacent cells and improving system performance.
