[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201910663402.2, filed in China on July 22, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement method, a resource allocation method, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Technology

[0004] In future 5G mobile communication systems, high-frequency bands will be supported. High-frequency signals have short wavelengths, enabling the deployment of large-scale antenna arrays, i.e., Massive MIMO (Massive MIMO) technology. In Massive MIMO, using an all-digital array can achieve maximized spatial resolution and optimal multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) performance. However, this structure requires a large number of AD / DA conversion devices and numerous complete RF-baseband processing channels, resulting in high implementation cost and processing complexity. To reduce implementation cost and processing complexity, mixed-signal beamforming technology has emerged.

[0005] In hybrid analog-digital beamforming technology, a new measurement parameter, Layer 1 Signal-to-Interference Plus Noise Ratio (L1-SINR), is introduced to improve the accuracy of beam measurement at the terminal. However, when measuring the L1-SINR of a beam, no corresponding solution has yet been proposed for how to configure the Channel Measurement Resource (CMR) and Interference Measurement Resource (IMR), which will affect the communication reliability of the communication system.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this disclosure should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0039] The embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments provided by this disclosure can be applied to wireless communication systems. This wireless communication system can be a 5G system, an Evolved Long Term Evolution (eLTE) system, or a subsequent evolution communication system.

[0040] Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a network system provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, it includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 can be a mobile communication device, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile internet device (MID), or wearable device. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in this embodiment. The network-side device 12 can be a 5G network-side device (e.g., gNB, 5G NR NB), a 4G network-side device (e.g., eNB), a 3G network-side device (e.g., NB), or a network-side device in a subsequent evolved communication system, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of the network-side device 12 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0041] Before providing a detailed description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure, a brief introduction to Massive MIMO technology will be given first.

[0042] Radio access technology standards such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) are built upon MIMO and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies. MIMO technology utilizes the spatial degrees of freedom available in multi-antenna systems to improve peak data rates and system spectral efficiency.

[0043] As the dimensions of MIMO technology continue to expand, Rel-8 can support up to 4 layers of MIMO transmission. In Rel-9, MU-MIMO technology is enhanced, and up to 4 downlink data layers can be supported in MU-MIMO transmission in Transmission Mode (TM)-8. In Rel-10, the transmission capability of Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) is extended to up to 8 data layers.

[0044] In research on next-generation communication systems beyond 4G, the supported operating frequency bands are being increased to above 6GHz, reaching a maximum of approximately 100GHz. High-frequency bands have relatively abundant idle frequency resources, providing greater throughput for data transmission. The shorter wavelength of high-frequency signals allows for the placement of more antenna elements on the same panel size compared to low-frequency bands, enabling the formation of more directional and narrower beams using beamforming technology. Therefore, it is foreseeable that larger-scale MIMO technology (i.e., Massive MIMO technology) with more antenna ports will be introduced in future 5G mobile communication systems. Using massive MIMO arrays can significantly improve system bandwidth utilization efficiency and support a larger number of access users.

[0045] In Massive MIMO technology, if an all-digital array is used, the maximum spatial resolution and optimal MU-MIMO performance can be achieved. However, this structure requires a large number of AD / DA conversion devices and a large number of complete RF-baseband processing channels, which will be a huge burden in terms of both equipment cost and baseband processing complexity.

[0046] To reduce implementation costs and processing complexity, hybrid analog-digital beamforming technology has emerged. This involves adding a beamforming stage to the radio frequency signal near the antenna system front-end, building upon traditional digital beamforming. Analog beamforming can achieve a relatively coarse match between the transmitted signal and the channel in a simpler way. The equivalent channel dimension formed after analog beamforming is smaller than the actual number of antennas, thus significantly reducing the required AD / DA conversion devices, digital channels, and baseband processing complexity. Residual interference from the analog beamforming section can be processed again in the digital domain, ensuring the quality of MU-MIMO transmission. Compared to all-digital beamforming, hybrid analog-digital beamforming represents a trade-off between performance and complexity, showing high practical potential in high-frequency, high-bandwidth systems or systems with a large number of antennas.

[0047] Simulated beamforming is transmitted across the full bandwidth, and each polarization element on each panel of the high-frequency antenna array can only transmit the simulated beam in a time-division multiplexed manner. The beamforming weights of the simulated beam are achieved by adjusting the parameters of devices such as the RF front-end phase shifter. Currently, a polling method is commonly used to train the simulated beamforming vectors. That is, each element on each antenna panel transmits training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) sequentially at predetermined times in a time-division multiplexed manner. After measurement, the terminal sends back a beam report, which the network side uses to implement simulated beam transmission in the next transmission.

[0048] In beam measurement and selection, the Layer 1-reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) is a commonly used parameter to measure beam quality. To further improve the accuracy of beam measurement and selection, especially in multi-cell, multi-user, and multi-beam scenarios, a new parameter, L1-SINR, has been introduced. However, when measuring the L1-SINR of a beam, no solution has yet been proposed for configuring the CMR and IMR, specifically how to configure the correlation between CMR and IMR. This will affect the accuracy of beam measurement and the reliability of communication systems.

[0049] Therefore, this disclosure provides a network system as shown in FIG1, and provides a resource configuration and measurement method for L1-SINR measurement applied to the network system. As shown in FIG2, the method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 201: The network-side device sends configuration information to the terminal.

[0051] The configuration information is used at least to indicate the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the measurement layer 1. The configuration information also includes channel measurement resource (CMR) information and interference measurement resource (IMR) information, and there is a preset correlation between the CMR in the CMR information and the IMR in the IMR information.

[0052] Step 202: The terminal receives configuration information sent by the network-side device.

[0053] Step 203: The terminal determines the target CMR and target IMR for target L1-SINR measurement based on the preset association relationship.

[0054] Step 204: The network-side device sends a reference signal for target L1-SINR measurement according to the configuration information.

[0055] Step 205: Measure the target CMR and the target IMR respectively to obtain the target L1-SINR.

[0056] It should be noted that the execution order of steps 203 and 204 is not limited. Step 203 can be executed first and then step 204, or step 204 can be executed first and then steps 202 and 203, or steps 203 and 204 can be executed simultaneously.

[0057] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by pre-setting the correlation between CMR and IMR for L1-SINR measurement, the terminal can select the correct CMR and IMR for channel measurement and interference measurement based on the correlation between CMR and IMR when performing L1-SINR measurement, thereby improving the communication reliability of the communication system.

[0058] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a measurement method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the measurement method, applied to a terminal, includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 301: Receive configuration information sent by the network-side device. The configuration information is at least used to indicate the measurement of L1-SINR. The configuration information also includes CMR information and IMR information. There is a preset association between the CMR in the CMR information and the IMR in the IMR information.

[0060] The configuration information mentioned above may include Channel State Information (CSI) report settings. These CSI report settings may include measurement reporting parameters, which may include L1-RSRP in addition to L1-SINR. In other words, the configuration information can be used to indicate the measurement of L1-SINR, or it can be used to indicate the measurement of both L1-SINR and L1-RSRP.

[0061] The aforementioned configuration information can be Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. The configuration information includes CMR information, which can be understood as configuring at least one RS resource setting (reference signal resource setting) for channel measurement (CM). The configuration information also includes IMR information, which can be understood as configuring at least one RS resource setting for interference measurement (IM). Each RS resource setting may include at least one RS resource set (reference signal resource set), and each RS resource set may include at least one RS resource. In this embodiment of the disclosure, when configuring the L1-SINR of the measurement beam, the network-side device can flexibly configure multiple CMR resource settings and IMR resource settings.

[0062] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the preset correlation between CMR and IMR can include various correlation relationships. For example, the correlation between CMR and IMR can be N-to-N, one-to-one, N-to-1, or 1-to-N, or even no correlation, etc. The above-mentioned preset correlation relationships can be flexibly set in advance, thereby improving the flexibility of L1-SINR measurement.

[0063] The aforementioned preset associations can be configured through network-side devices, for example, by configuring them in the above configuration information, or by agreeing on them through a protocol.

[0064] Step 302: Determine the target CMR and target IMR for target L1-SINR measurement based on the preset correlation relationship.

[0065] In this step, after receiving the configuration information sent by the network-side device, the terminal can select the correct target CMR and target IMR for target L1-SINR measurement based on the preset association between CMR and IMR. The target CMR is at least one CMR in the CMR information, and the target IMR is at least one IMR in the IMR information.

[0066] Step 303: Measure the target CMR and the target IMR respectively to obtain the target L1-SINR.

[0067] In this step, the terminal measures the target CMR to obtain the target channel measurement result, and measures the target IMR to obtain the target interference measurement result. Then, the target L1-SINR is calculated by using the target channel measurement result as the numerator and the target interference measurement result as the denominator.

[0068] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by pre-setting the correlation between CMR and IMR for L1-SINR measurement, the terminal can select the correct CMR and IMR for channel measurement and interference measurement based on the correlation between CMR and IMR when performing L1-SINR measurement, thereby improving the communication reliability of the communication system.

[0069] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the CMR in the CMR information and the IMR in the IMR information may belong to different resource settings, or to different resource sets within the same resource setting.

[0070] If a network-side device is configured with multiple CMRs, meaning that the CMR information contains multiple CMRs, then the different CMRs in the CMR information belong to different resource settings; or, the different CMRs in the CMR information belong to the same resource set in the same resource setting; or, the different CMRs in the CMR information belong to different resource sets in the same resource setting.

[0071] Correspondingly, if a network-side device is configured with multiple IMRs, that is, the IMR information contains multiple IMRs, then the different IMRs in the IMR information belong to different resource settings; or, the different IMRs in the IMR information belong to the same resource set in the same resource setting; or, the different IMRs in the IMR information belong to different resource sets in the same resource setting.

[0072] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the CMR in the CMR information can be a periodic CMR (P-CMR), a semi-persistent CMR (SP-CMR), or an aperiodic CMR (AP-CMR), and the IMR in the IMR information can also be a periodic IMR (P-IMR), a semi-persistent IMR (SP-IMR), or an aperiodic IMR (AP-IMR). When configuring the information of P-CMR, SP-CMR, or AP-CMR with P-IMR, SP-IMR, or AP-IMR, the network-side device can configure the association relationship between the transmission timing of CMR and IMR.

[0073] Optionally, based on the preset correlation, the target CMR and target IMR for target L1-SINR measurement are determined, including:

[0074] The second resource associated with the first resource is determined according to the preset association relationship, wherein one of the first resource and the second resource is the target CMR and the other is the target IMR.

[0075] In this embodiment, the target CMR for channel measurement and the target IMR for interference measurement are related CMR and IMR. For example, CMR1 is associated with IMR1. If the terminal performs channel measurement on CMR1, then the terminal performs interference measurement on IMR1; or, if the terminal performs interference measurement on IMR1, then the terminal performs channel measurement on CMR1.

[0076] Optionally, based on the preset correlation, the target CMR and target IMR for target L1-SINR measurement are determined, including:

[0077] Based on the preset association relationship, a third resource other than the second resource associated with the first resource is determined, wherein one of the first resource and the third resource is the target CMR and the other is the target IMR.

[0078] In this embodiment, the target CMR for channel measurement and the target IMR for interference measurement are unrelated CMR and IMR. For example, CMR1 is associated with IMR1, but CMR1 is not associated with IMR2. If the terminal performs channel measurement on CMR1, then the terminal performs interference measurement on IMR2; or, if the terminal performs interference measurement on IMR2, then the terminal performs channel measurement on CMR1.

[0079] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal performs L1-SINR measurement, it can first determine the target CMR for channel measurement, and then determine the target IMR for interference measurement according to a preset correlation relationship; or, it can first determine the target IMR for interference measurement, and then determine the target CMR for channel measurement according to a preset correlation relationship.

[0080] Optionally, interference measurement is performed on the target IMR, including:

[0081] The target IMR is measured using the quasi-co-location (QCL) information of the target CMR.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the terminal measures the L1-SINR (i.e., the target L1-SINR) of a certain beam, the IMR (i.e., the target IMR) used can utilize the QCL information of the CMR (i.e., the target CMR) of that L1-SINR. In this way, the measurement direction when measuring the target CMR using the QCL information of the target CMR can be consistent with the measurement direction when measuring the target IMR using the QCL information of the target CMR, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0083] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the IMR in the IMR information may include at least one of a Zero Power (ZP) IMR and a Non-Zero Power (NZP) IMR. For different types of IMRs, the association between the CMR and the ZP IMR and / or the NZP IMR can be flexibly pre-configured. For example, the network-side device can flexibly configure the association between the CMR and the ZP IMR and / or the NZP IMR.

[0084] The following explains the relationships between CMR, ZP IMR, and / or NZP IMR. To better understand how the terminal performs L1-SINR measurements under each relationship, the following explanations use the example of the terminal first determining the CMR for channel measurement, and then determining the IMR for interference measurement according to the preset relationships.

[0085] Method 1: The IMR in the IMR information includes ZP IMR;

[0086] The preset association relationship includes one of the following:

[0087] The association between CMR and ZP IMR is an N-to-N association;

[0088] The relationship between CMR and ZP IMR is one-to-one;

[0089] N CMRs are associated with 1 ZP IMR;

[0090] One CMR is associated with N ZP IMRs.

[0091] This method provides four configuration options for the association between CMR and ZP IMR, as detailed below.

[0092] Firstly, the relationship between CMR and ZP IMR is an N-to-N relationship, which can be understood as N CMRs being associated with N ZP IMRs, or as N one-to-one relationships, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0093] In this pre-defined association, there can be an association between N CMRs in a CMR resource set and N ZP IMRs in a ZP IMR resource set. Specifically, the N CMRs in the CMR resource set, in ascending order of resource index, are sequentially associated with the N ZP IMRs in the ZP IMR resource set, in ascending order of resource index. That is, CMR1 in the CMR resource set is associated with ZP IMR1 in the ZP IMR resource set, CMR2 in the CMR resource set is associated with ZP IMR2 in the ZP IMR resource set, and so on.

[0094] Alternatively, the N CMRs determined in the CMR resource setting according to the index order of the CMR resource set and the resource index order in each resource set can be sequentially associated with the N ZP IMRs determined in the ZP IMR resource setting according to the index order of the ZP IMR resource set and the resource index order in each resource set. For example, CMR1 of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting can be associated with ZP IMR1 of the first resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting, CMR2 of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting can be associated with ZP IMR2 of the first resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting, CMR1 of the second resource set in the CMR resource setting can be associated with ZP IMR1 of the second resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting, CMR2 of the second resource set in the CMR resource setting can be associated with ZP IMR2 of the second resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting, and so on.

[0095] Alternatively, it can be that N CMRs, determined by the index order of the CMR's resource setting, the index order of the resource set in each resource setting, and the resource index order in each resource set, are sequentially associated with N ZP IMRs, determined by the index order of the ZP IMR's resource setting, the index order of the resource set in each resource setting, and the resource index order in each resource set.For example, CMR1 in the first resource set of the first resource setting of CMR is associated with ZP IMR1 in the first resource set of the first resource setting of ZP IMR; CMR2 in the first resource set of the first resource setting of CMR is associated with ZP IMR2 in the first resource set of the first resource setting of ZP IMR; CMR1 in the second resource set of the first resource setting of CMR is associated with ZP IMR1 in the second resource set of the first resource setting of ZP IMR; CMR2 in the second resource set of the first resource setting of CMR is associated with ZP IMR2 in the second resource set of the first resource setting of ZP IMR; CMR1 in the first resource set of the second resource setting of CMR is associated with ZP IMR1 in the first resource set of the second resource setting of ZP IMR; CMR2 in the first resource set of the second resource setting of CMR is associated with ZP IMR2 in the first resource set of the second resource setting of ZP IMR; CMR1 in the second resource set of the second resource setting of CMR is associated with the second resource set of ZP IMR. The second resource set in the settings is associated with ZP IMR1, and the second resource set in the settings is associated with CMR2, and so on.

[0096] When performing beam measurements, the terminal can use its own Channel Regulator (CMR) for each beam and the ZP Interference Regulator (ZIMR) associated with each CMR for each beam's interference measurements. For example, CMR1 is used for channel measurements of beam1, and ZP IMR1 associated with CMR1 is used for interference measurements of beam1. Here, the QCL information of CMR1 can be used to measure ZP IMR1.

[0097] Furthermore, the CMR configured on the network-side device is an aperiodic CMR, and the IMR configured on the network-side device is an aperiodic IMR. Specifically, the network-side device simultaneously triggers at least one reporting setting, which is associated with one resource setting of an aperiodic CMR and one resource setting of an aperiodic IMR. Moreover, in the resource sets of their respective resource settings, the aperiodic CMR and the aperiodic IMR are associated in an N-to-N relationship.

[0098] Secondly, the relationship between CMR and ZP IMR is one-to-one.

[0099] Network-side devices can be configured with a report setting that associates a CMR resource setting and a ZP IMR resource setting, with a one-to-one association between the CMR and ZP IMR. Specifically, the associated CMR and ZP IMR can be determined based on at least one of the following: the index order of the resource settings, the index order of the resource sets within each resource setting, and the resource index order within each resource set. For example, if both the CMR and ZP IMR resource settings have one resource set, the first CMR of the resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the first ZP IMR of the resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, if the CMR resource setting has M resource sets, each with one CMR, and the ZP IMR resource setting has M resource sets, each with one ZP IMR, the CMR of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the ZP IMR of the first resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting. Other one-to-one association methods between CMR and ZP IMR also fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure, and will not be elaborated here.

[0100] Third, N CMRs are associated with 1 ZP IMR, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0101] The network-side device can be configured with a report setting that associates N CMR resource settings and one ZP IMR resource setting, or associates a CMR resource setting that includes N resource sets and a ZP IMR resource setting that includes one resource set. The CMR and ZP IMR are associated in an N-to-1 relationship. The N CMRs can come from the same resource setting or different resource settings, or from the same resource set or different resource sets.

[0102] For example, if a CMR resource setting has N resource sets and a ZP IMR resource setting has 1 resource set, then the first CMR of each resource set in the CMR resource setting (a total of N) is associated with the first ZP IMR of the resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, if a CMR resource setting has M resource sets, each containing N CMRs, and a ZP IMR resource setting has M resource sets, each containing 1 ZP IMR, then the N CMRs of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting are associated with the 1 ZP IMR of the first resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting. Or, if a CMR resource setting has 1 resource set, and each resource set in the CMR resource setting contains N CMRs, and a ZP IMR resource setting has 1 resource set, then the N CMRs of the resource set in the CMR resource setting are associated with the first ZP IMR of the resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, if a CMR has N resource settings, each containing one resource set, and a ZP IMR has one resource setting, each containing one resource set, then the first CMR in the resource set of each CMR resource setting (a total of N) is associated with the first ZP IMR in the resource set of the ZP IMR resource setting. Other N-to-1 association methods between CMRs and ZP IMRs also fall within the scope of this disclosure and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0103] When performing beam measurements, the terminal uses its own CMR for channel measurements of each beam and uses the ZP IMR associated with each CMR for interference measurements of each beam. The ZP IMR associated with each CMR is the same or has overlapping resources.

[0104] Furthermore, the ZP IMR configured on the network-side device can be a periodic ZP resource or a semi-persistent ZP resource, and the CMR configured on the network-side device can be a periodic CMR, a semi-persistent CMR, or an aperiodic CMR.

[0105] Furthermore, when configuring P-CMR, SP-CMR, or AP-CMR information with P-IMR or SP-IMR, the network-side device will configure the association between the timing of CMR and IMR transmission.

[0106] Fourth, one CMR is associated with N ZP IMRs, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0107] The network-side device can be configured with a report setting that associates a CMR resource setting with N ZP IMR resource settings, or associates a CMR resource setting that includes one resource set with a ZP IMR resource setting that includes N resource sets. The CMR and ZP IMR are associated one to N. The N ZP IMRs can come from the same resource setting or different resource settings (e.g., the report setting is associated with the resource settings of N ZP IMRs and a CMR resource setting), or they can come from the same resource set or different resource sets.

[0108] For example, if a CMR resource setting has one resource set and a ZP IMR resource setting has N resource sets, then the first CMR of the resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the first ZP IMR of each resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting (a total of N). Alternatively, if a CMR resource setting has M resource sets, each containing one CMR, and a ZP IMR resource setting has M resource sets, each containing N ZP IMRs, then the CMR of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the N ZP IMRs of the first resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting. Or, if a CMR resource setting has one resource set and a ZP IMR resource setting has one resource set, and each resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting contains N ZP IMRs, then the first CMR of the resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the N ZP IMRs of the resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, if a CMR has one resource setting, and each resource setting includes one resource set, and a ZP IMR has N resource settings, each resource setting including one resource set, then the first CMR in the resource set of the CMR resource setting is associated with the first ZP IMR in the resource set of each ZP IMR resource setting (a total of N). Other one-to-N association methods between CMRs and ZP IMRs also fall within the scope of this disclosure and will not be elaborated here.

[0109] Method 2: The IMR in the IMR information includes NZP IMR;

[0110] The preset association relationship includes one of the following:

[0111] N CMRs are associated with 1 NZP IMR;

[0112] N NZP IMRs are associated with 1 CMR;

[0113] The relationship between CMR and NZP IMR is one-to-one;

[0114] CMR is not related to NZP IMR.

[0115] Among them, NZP IMR can be NZP CSI Reference Signal (CSI-RS) or Tracking Reference Signal (TRS).

[0116] First, N CMRs are associated with 1 NZP IMR, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0117] The network-side device can be configured with a report setting that associates N CMR resource settings and one NZP IMR resource setting, or associates a CMR resource setting that includes N resource sets and an NZP IMR resource setting that includes one resource set. The CMR and NZP IMR are associated in an N-to-1 relationship. The N CMRs can come from the same resource setting or different resource settings, or from the same resource set or different resource sets.

[0118] For example, if a CMR resource setting has N resource sets and an NZP IMR resource setting has 1 resource set, then the first CMR (N in total) of each resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the first NZP IMR of the resource set in the NZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, if a CMR resource setting has M resource sets, each containing N CMRs, and an NZP IMR resource setting has M resource sets, each containing 1 NZP IMR, then the N CMRs of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting are associated with the 1 NZP IMR of the first resource set in the NZP IMR resource setting. Or, if a CMR resource setting has 1 resource set, and each resource set in the CMR resource setting contains N CMRs, and an NZP IMR resource setting has 1 resource set, then the N CMRs of the resource set in the CMR resource setting are associated with the first NZP IMR of the resource set in the NZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, if a CMR has N resource settings, each containing one resource set, and an NZP IMR has one resource setting, each containing one resource set, then the first CMR in the resource set of each CMR resource setting (a total of N CMRs) is associated with the first NZP IMR in the resource set of the NZP IMR resource setting. Other N-to-1 association methods between CMRs and NZP IMRs also fall within the scope of this disclosure and will not be elaborated upon here. For non-periodic reporting, network-side devices can trigger one or more report settings as described above.

[0119] When performing beam measurements, the terminal uses its respective Channel Regulators (CMRs) for beam1, beam2, and beam3, i.e., CMR1, CMR2, and CMR3 respectively. When measuring the interference of beam4 on beam1, beam2, and beam3, it uses NZP Interactive Marker 4 (NZP IMR4). Therefore, CMR1, CMR2, and CMR3 are associated with NZP IMR4. When performing interference measurements on beam1, beam2, and beam3 using NZP IMR4, the QCL information of CMR1, CMR2, and CMR3 is used to measure NZP IMR4, respectively.

[0120] Secondly, N NZP IMRs are associated with 1 CMR, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0121] The network-side device can be configured with a report setting that associates a CMR resource setting with N NZP IMR resource settings, or associates a CMR resource setting that includes one resource set with a ZP IMR resource setting that includes N resource sets. The CMR and NZP IMR are associated one to N. The N NZP IMRs can come from the same resource setting or different resource settings, or from the same resource set or different resource sets.

[0122] For example, if a CMR resource setting has one resource set and an N ZP IMR resource setting has N resource sets, then the first CMR of the resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the first N ZP IMR of each resource set in the N ZP IMR resource setting (a total of N). Alternatively, if a CMR resource setting has M resource sets, each with one CMR, and an N ZP IMR resource setting has M resource sets, each with N N ZP IMRs, then the CMR of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the N N ZP IMRs of the first resource set in the N ZP IMR resource setting. Or, if a CMR resource setting has one resource set and an N ZP IMR resource setting has N N ZP IMRs, then the first CMR of the resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the N N ZP IMRs of the resource set in the N ZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, a CMR may have one resource setting, each containing one resource set, and an NZP IMR may have N resource settings, each containing one resource set. In this case, the first CMR in the resource set of a CMR resource setting is associated with the first NZP IMR in the resource set of each NZP IMR resource setting (a total of N). Other one-to-N association methods between CMRs and NZP IMRs also fall within the scope of this disclosure and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0123] For non-periodic reports, network-side devices can trigger one or more report settings as described above.

[0124] When performing beam measurements, the terminal uses CMR1 for channel measurements on beam1 and NZP IMR2, NZP IMR3, and NZP IMR4 for interference measurements on beam1. Interference from beam2, beam3, and beam4 to beam1 is measured respectively, meaning CMR1 is associated with NZP IMR2, NZP IMR3, and NZP IMR4. When measuring NZP IMR2, NZP IMR3, and NZP IMR4, the QCL information from CMR1 is used.

[0125] Furthermore, instead of configuring NZP IMR, CMR1 can be used for channel measurements on beam1, and CMR2, CMR3, and CMR4 can be used for interference measurements on beam1, respectively measuring the interference from beam2, beam3, and beam4 to beam1. When measuring CMR2, CMR3, and CMR4, the QCL information of CMR1 is used.

[0126] Third, the relationship between CMR and NZP IMR is one-to-one, or CMR and NZP IMR are not related.

[0127] Network-side devices can be configured with a report setting that associates a CMR resource setting and an NZP IMR resource setting, with the CMR and NZP IMR being associated one-to-one. Specifically, the associated CMR and NZP IMR can be determined based on at least one of the following: the index order of the resource settings, the index order of the resource sets within each resource setting, and the resource index order within each resource set.

[0128] For example, if there is one resource set in the CMR resource setting and one resource set in the NZP IMR resource setting, then the first CMR in the resource set of the CMR resource setting is associated with the first NZP IMR in the resource set of the NZP IMR resource setting. Alternatively, if there are M resource sets in the CMR resource setting, each containing one CMR, and M resource sets in the NZP IMR resource setting, each containing one NZP IMR, then the CMR of the first resource set in the CMR resource setting is associated with the NZP IMR of the first resource set in the NZP IMR resource setting. Other one-to-one association methods between CMRs and NZP IMRs also fall within the scope of this disclosure and will not be elaborated upon here. In the above examples, it is also permissible for an NZP IMR in the resource set of the NZP IMR resource setting to exist that is not associated with any CMR, or for a CMR in the resource set of the CMR resource setting to exist that is not associated with any NZP IMR.

[0129] When performing beam measurements, if there are four beams, the network can configure the resource set in the CMR resource setting to include CMR1, CMR2, CMR3, and CMR4, each used for channel measurements of each beam. An NZP IMR resource setting can also be configured, where NZP IMR1 and NZP IMR2 correspond to beam1 and beam2 respectively. NZP IMR1 measures the interference of beam1 on beam2, beam3, and beam4, while NZP IMR2 measures the interference of beam2 on beam1, beam3, and beam4. CMR1 is associated with NZP IMR1, CMR2 is associated with NZP IMR2, and CMR3 and CMR4 are not associated with NZP IMR.

[0130] When measuring the L1-SINR of beam1, for interference measurements from beam2, the interference measured by the IMR corresponding to the resource ID of the IMR of the CMR of beam1 is removed during interference measurement. That is, interference measurements are performed on all NZP IMRs (i.e., NZP IMR2) except for the NZP IMR1 associated with CMR1, to obtain the interference measurement result of beam2 on beam1. The QCL information of CMR1 is used when measuring NZP IMR2. When measuring interference from beam3 and beam4, CMR3 and CMR4 can be used for interference measurement, and the QCL information of CMR1 can be used when measuring NZP IMR3 and NZP IMR4. Alternatively, it is not necessary to measure interference from beam3 and beam4.

[0131] When measuring the L1-SINR of beam3, use CMR3 for channel measurement, and use NZP IMR1, NZP IMR2, and CMR4 to measure interference from beam1, beam2, and beam4 respectively. Furthermore, use the QCL information of CMR3 when measuring NZP IMR1, NZP IMR2, and CMR4. Alternatively, it may not be necessary to measure interference from beam4.

[0132] Method 3: The IMR in the IMR information includes ZP IMR and NZP IMR;

[0133] The preset association relationships include:

[0134] The correlation between CMR, ZP IMR and NZP IMR is 1 to M to N, where M, M and N are positive integers.

[0135] A network-side device can be configured with a report setting that associates with a CMR resource setting, at least one ZP IMR resource setting, and at least one NZP IMR resource setting, with the resources of the three being associated in a one-to-many, one-to-n ratio. The network-side device can trigger multiple such report settings simultaneously.

[0136] The correlation between CMR, ZP IMR and NZP IMR can be 1 to M to N, that is, M equals 1.

[0137] Taking M=1 as an example, if there is 1 resource set in the CMR resource setting, 1 resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting, and N resource sets in the NZP IMR resource setting, then the first CMR in the resource set of the CMR resource setting, the first ZP IMR in the resource set of the ZP IMR resource setting, and the first NZP IMR in each resource set of the NZP IMR resource setting (a total of N) are associated, and so on. Alternatively, if there is 1 resource setting in the CMR resource setting, 1 resource setting in the ZP IMR resource setting, and N resource settings in the NZP IMR resource setting, and each of these resource settings contains 1 resource set, then the first CMR in the resource set of the CMR resource setting, the first ZP IMR in the resource set of the ZP IMR resource setting, and the first NZP IMR in each resource set of the NZP IMR resource setting (a total of N) are associated, and so on.

[0138] Other 1-to-1-to-N association methods between CMR, ZP IMR and NZP IMP also fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure, and will not be elaborated here.

[0139] For example, if a CMR resource setting has 1 resource set, a ZP IMR resource setting has M resource sets, and an NZP IMR resource setting has N resource sets, then the first CMR of each resource set in the CMR resource setting, the first ZP IMR of each resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting (M in total), and the first NZP IMR of each resource set in the NZP IMR resource setting (N in total) are associated, and so on. Alternatively, if a CMR resource setting has 1 resource set, a ZP IMR resource setting has M resource sets, and an NZP IMR resource setting has N resource sets, and each of these resource settings has 1 resource set, then the first CMR of each resource set in the CMR resource setting, the first ZP IMR of each resource set in the ZP IMR resource setting (M in total), and the first NZP IMR of each resource set in the NZP IMR resource setting (N in total) are associated, and so on.

[0140] Other 1-to-M-to-N association methods of CMR, ZP IMR and NZP IMP are also within the scope of protection of this disclosure, and will not be elaborated here.

[0141] When measuring the L1-SINR of beam1, the terminal should use the cumulative measured interference of ZP IMR and NZP IMR. However, if an IMR associated with the CMR of beam1 is used for interference measurement of other beams, the interference measured by the IMR with the resource id of the IMR corresponding to the resource id of the CMR of beam1 should be removed when measuring interference of beam1. That is, other IMRs besides the IMR associated with the CMR of beam1 should be used for interference measurement. When measuring other IMRs besides the IMR associated with the CMR of beam1, the QCL information of the CMR of beam1 can be used.

[0142] Among them, ZP IMR can be used for inter-cell interference measurement, while NZP IMR can be used for inter-beam interference measurement.

[0143] In addition to the aforementioned M-to-N relationship, CMR, ZP IMR, and NZP IMR can have various other possible relationships. Network-side devices can be configured with a report setting that associates at least one CMR resource setting, at least one ZP IMR resource setting, and at least one NZP IMR resource setting. Other relationships can exist between CMR, ZP IMR, and NZP IMR within these three resource settings.

[0144] In summary, by flexibly configuring or agreeing on the correlation between CMR and IMR used for L1-SINR measurement, the terminal can select the correct CMR and IMR for channel measurement and interference measurement based on the correlation between CMR and IMR when performing L1-SINR measurement, thereby improving the accuracy of L1-SINR measurement and the communication reliability of the communication system.
