As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0035] In addition, for ease of understanding, the cell discontinuous transmission and reception (Cell DTX / DRX) mechanism involved in the technical solution of this application is introduced here.

[0036] The relevant parameters of the Cell DTX / DRX mechanism can be explicitly configured to the terminal through the base station. These parameters may include at least the cell DTX / DRX period, start slot / offset, and on duration. Through the configuration of the relevant parameters, the Cell DTX / DRX mechanism is divided into two parts within each period: an active period and a non-active period.

[0038] Based on this, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] FIG2 is a flow chart of a signal measurement method 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This method 200 may be, but is not limited to, executed by a terminal, specifically by hardware and / or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 200 may include at least the following steps.

[0040] S210: The terminal receives a cell discontinuous reception and transmission configuration sent by a network-side device.

[0041] The cell discontinuous transmission and reception configuration may also be referred to as related parameters of the cell discontinuous transmission and reception, such as the cell discontinuous transmission and reception cycle, start slot / offset, on duration, etc.

[0042] It is worth noting that the cell discontinuous transmission and reception configuration may include a cell discontinuous reception configuration and a cell discontinuous transmission configuration, and both may be sent to the terminal simultaneously or independently, which is not limited here.

[0043] S220: Measure the first signal according to the discontinuous reception and transmission configuration of the cell.

[0044] Among them, the first signal can be but is not limited to a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a positioning reference signal (PRS), a synchronization signal block (SSB), etc.

[0045] Based on this, when the terminal measures the first signal according to the cell's discontinuous transmission and reception configuration, it can determine the measurement requirements (or measurement needs), signal measurement conditions, etc. during signal measurement according to the cell's discontinuous transmission and reception configuration, so that the terminal can clearly understand the signal measurement behavior under the cell's discontinuous transmission and reception mechanism, and ensure the reliability and efficiency of the signal measurement under the cell's discontinuous transmission and reception mechanism.

[0046] In this embodiment, the terminal receives the cell discontinuous transmission and reception configuration sent by the network side device, and measures the first signal according to the cell discontinuous transmission and reception configuration, thereby enabling the terminal and the network side device to have a consistent understanding of the cell discontinuous transmission and reception configuration, thereby enabling the terminal to clearly understand the signal measurement behavior under the cell discontinuous transmission and reception mechanism, thereby ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the signal measurement under the cell discontinuous transmission and reception mechanism.

[0047] FIG3 is a flow chart of a signal measurement method 300 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This method 300 may be, but is not limited to, executed by a terminal, specifically by hardware and / or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 300 may include at least the following steps.

[0048] S310: The terminal receives a cell discontinuous reception and transmission configuration sent by a network-side device.

[0049] S320: Measure the first signal according to the discontinuous reception and transmission configuration of the cell.

[0050] It can be understood that in addition to referring to the relevant description in the aforementioned method embodiment 200, the implementation process of S310-S320, as a possible implementation method, if the terminal measures the first signal according to the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell, the measurement requirements corresponding to the first signal may be related to the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell, that is, the terminal can determine the measurement requirements corresponding to the first signal according to the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell, thereby reducing the transmission of signals on the network side (such as the base station) and achieving the purpose of energy saving on the network side.

[0051] In this regard, as a possible implementation method, the measurement requirements may include but are not limited to at least one of the following (11)-(12).

[0052] (11) The evaluation cycle requirement for the terminal to perform the first object evaluation.

[0053] The first object includes at least one of Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP), L1 Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio (SINR), Radio Link Monitoring (RLM), Beam Failure Detection (BFD), Candidate Beam Detection (CBD), and Radio Resource Management (RRM).

[0054] Then, for the evaluation period requirement for performing the first object evaluation, the related parameters involved may include but are not limited to the signal period of the first signal, the reporting period of the measurement result corresponding to the first signal, etc.

[0055] (12) The required reporting interval for the evaluation result of the second object evaluated by the terminal, that is, the required reporting interval for the physical layer of the terminal to report the evaluation result to the medium access control (MAC) layer. In this embodiment, the second object includes RLM or BFD.

[0056] Then, for the reporting interval requirement of the evaluation result of the second object evaluation, the related parameters involved may include but are not limited to the signal period of the first signal, the reporting period of the measurement result corresponding to the first signal, etc.

[0057] Based on this, in one possible implementation method, considering that the measurement requirements corresponding to the first signal are related to the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration information of the cell, the terminal can determine the measurement requirements corresponding to the first signal based on the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell. For example, the terminal determines the measurement requirements corresponding to the second scenario based on the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell and the measurement requirements corresponding to the first scenario. In this way, the transmission of signals on the network side (such as the base station) can be reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving on the network side.

[0058] The first scenario is a scenario in which the first condition is met and the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell is not configured, and the second scenario is a scenario in which the first condition is met and the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell is configured.

[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment, in order to achieve accurate classification of measurement requirements, the first condition may include but is not limited to any one of the following (21)-(22).

[0060] (21) The terminal discontinuous reception configuration is not configured.

[0061] (22) The terminal is configured with a discontinuous reception configuration, and parameters related to the discontinuous reception configuration are within a predetermined range. The parameters related to the discontinuous reception configuration may be, for example, a discontinuous reception period. Assuming that the parameters are the discontinuous reception period, the predetermined range may be, but is not limited to, no greater than 320 milliseconds (ms), or greater than 320 ms, and is not limited thereto.

[0062] In this regard, the combinations of the aforementioned first scenario and the second scenario provided in this application may include but are not limited to the following.

[0063] The first scenario does not configure the terminal discontinuous reception configuration and the cell discontinuous reception and transmission configuration, and the second scenario does not configure the terminal discontinuous reception configuration but configures the cell discontinuous reception and transmission configuration.

[0064] The first scenario configures the terminal discontinuous reception configuration but does not configure the cell discontinuous reception and transmission configuration; the second scenario configures the terminal discontinuous reception configuration and the cell discontinuous reception and transmission configuration.

[0065] For the aforementioned first and second scenarios, the process by which the terminal determines the measurement requirements corresponding to the second scenario based on the cell discontinuous transmission and reception configuration and the measurement requirements corresponding to the first scenario may include: first determining the second parameter based on the cell discontinuous transmission and reception period in the cell discontinuous transmission and reception configuration and the first parameter in the measurement requirements corresponding to the first scenario (such as the signal period of the first signal or the reporting period of the measurement result corresponding to the first signal, etc.), and then replacing the first parameter in the measurement requirements corresponding to the first scenario with the second parameter to obtain the measurement requirements corresponding to the second scenario.

[0066] The second parameter T can be obtained by at least one of the following equations (1) and (2).

[0067] T=max(T1,T2) (1)

[0068] T=max(T1,T2) / Ceiling(D / T1) (2)

[0069] Among them, T1 is the signal period of the first signal in the first scenario or the reporting period of the measurement result corresponding to the first signal, T2 is the period of discontinuous transmission and reception of the cell, D is the duration of the activation period of continuous transmission and reception of the cell, and Ceiling means rounding up.

[0070] It is worth noting that if the terminal obtains two second parameters based on formula (1) and formula (2), then the terminal can select the maximum value or minimum value or any value of the two second parameters as the target value according to the protocol agreement, network side configuration, etc., and then replace the first parameter in the measurement requirement corresponding to the first scenario based on the target value to obtain the measurement requirement under the second scenario.

[0071] In addition, when determining the measurement requirements corresponding to the first signal, the signal period of the first signal is an integer multiple of the period of discontinuous reception and transmission of the cell; or, the reporting period of the measurement result corresponding to the first signal is an integer multiple of the period of discontinuous reception and transmission of the cell. This can facilitate the activation period and the first signal to be in a consistent time interval, thereby reducing the delay of terminal measurement.

[0072] In this embodiment, a method for determining signal measurement requirements under a cell discontinuous reception and transmission mechanism is provided, which can adaptively relax the time requirement for signal measurement, thereby simplifying the complexity of terminal measurement.

[0073] FIG4 is a flow chart of a signal measurement method 400 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This method 400 may be, but is not limited to, executed by a terminal, specifically by hardware and / or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 400 may include at least the following steps.

[0074] S410: The terminal receives a cell discontinuous reception and transmission configuration sent by a network-side device.

[0075] S420: Measure the first signal according to the discontinuous reception and transmission configuration of the cell.

[0076] It can be understood that in addition to referring to the relevant description in the aforementioned method embodiment 200 or 300, the implementation process of S410-S420 can also refer to Figure 4 again as a possible implementation method. The process of the terminal measuring the first signal according to the discontinuous reception and transmission configuration of the cell can also include the following content.

[0077] S421: Determine an inactive period and an active period of discontinuous transmission and reception of the cell according to the discontinuous transmission and reception configuration of the cell.

[0078] Among them, for the non-activation period and activation period of the discontinuous transmission and reception of the cell, the terminal does not expect the first signal that meets the second condition to be sent during the non-activation period of the discontinuous transmission and reception of the cell, that is, the terminal expects the first signal that does not meet the second condition to be sent during the non-activation period of the discontinuous transmission and reception of the cell, thereby ensuring the signal measurement quality.

[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following (31)-(34).

[0080] (31) The signal type of the first signal belongs to the first type signal set. In other words, the terminal does not expect the first signal of the first type signal set to be transmitted during the non-activated period of discontinuous cell transmission and reception, thereby avoiding the problem of failure in transmitting the first signal of the signal type.

[0081] The signal types in the first type signal set may include but are not limited to at least one of the following (311)-(316).

[0082] (311) A signal for channel state information reporting (CSI reporting), wherein the CSI reporting includes specific content and is used for specific measurements. The specific content includes at least one of a rank indicator (RI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), L1-RSRP, and L1-SINR. The specific measurement includes a channel measurement or an interference measurement.

[0083] In one implementation, the CSI-RS may include non-zero power CSI-RS (NZP-CSI-RS) or CSI-interference measurement (IM), where NZP-CSI-RS can be used for signal measurement of the current cell and CSI-IM is used for interference measurement of neighboring cells.

[0084] (312) Signal for RLM.

[0085] (313) Signal used for BFD.

[0086] (314) for CBD signal.

[0087] (315) Signal used for RRM.

[0088] (316) Signal used for time-frequency tracking.

[0089] (32) The first signal is a signal sent by a serving cell, wherein the cell ID associated with the first signal is the ID of the serving cell. In other words, the terminal does not expect the first signal sent by the serving cell to be sent during an inactive period of discontinuous cell transmission and reception, thereby avoiding a failure in sending the first signal.

[0090] (33) The first signal is a signal sent by a target cell, and the target cell is a cell under cell discontinuous transmission and reception control. In other words, the terminal does not expect the first signal sent by the cell under cell discontinuous transmission and reception control to be sent during the inactive period of cell discontinuous transmission and reception, thereby avoiding the problem of failure in sending the first signal.

[0091] (34) The first signal is controlled by discontinuous transmission and reception, or the time domain location of the first signal is controlled by discontinuous transmission and reception. In other words, the terminal does not expect the first signal controlled by cell discontinuous transmission and reception to be transmitted during the inactive period of cell discontinuous transmission and reception, thereby avoiding the problem of failure in transmission of the first signal.

[0092] Among them, the second condition can be achieved by protocol agreement, high-level configuration, network-side configuration, terminal autonomous determination, etc., and is not limited here.

[0093] In one implementation, in order to determine whether the first signal satisfies a second condition, such as (32)-(35) in the aforementioned second condition, and to improve the measurement efficiency and reliability of the signal measurement, the terminal may also receive first configuration information sent by a network side device; wherein the first configuration information includes at least one of the following (41)-(44).

[0094] (41) First information, used to indicate whether the type of the first signal is controlled by discontinuous transmission and reception of the cell.

[0095] (42) The second information is used to indicate a cell list that is subject to the cell discontinuous reception and transmission control.

[0096] (43) The third information is used to indicate the time domain configuration information controlled by the cell's discontinuous reception and transmission.

[0097] For example, the first signal received at the time domain position corresponding to the time domain configuration information satisfies the second condition, otherwise it does not.

[0098] (44) Fourth information, used to indicate that the terminal does not expect time domain configuration information for sending the first signal.

[0099] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first configuration information is configured according to a predetermined granularity, wherein the predetermined granularity includes at least one of signal type granularity, terminal granularity, serving cell granularity, serving cell group granularity, resource granularity, and measurement report granularity. Thus, the configuration flexibility of the first configuration information can be ensured to meet different communication scenarios.

[0100] S422: The terminal receives and measures the first signal based on an active period of discontinuous reception and transmission of the cell, or receives and measures the first signal that does not meet a second condition based on a non-active period of discontinuous reception and transmission of the cell.

[0101] That is to say, when the terminal performs the first signal measurement, it measures the first signal received based on the active period of non-continuous transmission and reception of the cell, and for the first signal received based on the non-active period of non-continuous transmission and reception of the cell, it only measures the first signal that does not meet the second condition, thereby improving the reliability of the signal measurement.

[0102] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the activation period or the inactivation period of the discontinuous transmission and reception of the cell, and measures the first information based on the activation period or measures the first signal that does not meet the second condition based on the inactivation period. In this way, the terminal can not only clearly understand the signal measurement behavior under the discontinuous transmission and reception mechanism of the cell, but also improve the signal measurement efficiency.

[0103] Based on the description of the signal measurement method in the aforementioned method embodiments 200-400, the technical solution provided by the present application is exemplarily described below in combination with Examples 1-4. It is assumed that the first signal is a CSI-RS or SSB.

[0104] Example 1

[0105] For CSI-RS used for RLM, assuming that the measurement target of CSI-RS is RLF in the radio link monitoring configuration (RadioLinkMonitoringConfig), then when the cell discontinuous transmission / reception (cell DTX / DRX) configuration is not configured, the measurement period (measurement period) corresponding to CSI-RS is related to the terminal discontinuous reception (UE DRX) configuration. For example, as shown in Table 1, for frequency range (FR) 1, the evaluation period T Evaluate_out_CSI-RS and T Evaluate_in_CSI-RS The correspondence between them.

[0106] Table 1

[0107] When the cell DTX / DRX configuration is configured, the terminal does not expect to measure CSI-RS during the non-active period of cell DTX / DRX, that is, T in Table 1 CSI-RS Replace with T' CSI-RS =Max(T CSI-RS , T DTX ) or T' CSI-RS=max(T CSI-RS ,T DTX ) / Ceil(D DTXon / T CSI-RS ), and obtain the measurement requirements (requirements) in the scenarios of no DRX+cell DTX, DRX<=320ms+cell DTX, and DRX>320ms+cell DTX respectively.

[0108] At the same time, when the cell DTX / DRX configuration is not configured, the time interval at which the terminal can report to the upper layer needs to meet certain requirements, that is, when the UE DRX configuration is not configured, the time interval for reporting the evaluation result of the RLF evaluation is at least Max (10ms, T RLM-RS,M ), where T RLM-RS,M The minimum value of the signal period of all configured RSs (including SSB and CSI-RS) used for RLM.

[0109] When UE DRX is configured and UE DRX cycle is less than or equal to 320ms, the reporting interval for RLF evaluation results shall be at least Max(10ms, 1.5×DRX_cycle_length, 1.5×T RLM-RS,M )).

[0110] When UE DRX is configured and UE DRX cycle>320ms, the time interval shall be at least the DRX cycle.

[0111] When configuring cell DTX / DRX, T RLM-RS,M =Min(Min(T RLM-SSB,M ),Min(max(T RLM-CSI-RS,M ,T DTX )), and obtain the measurement requirements in the scenarios of no DRX+cell DTX, DRX<=320ms+cell DTX, and DRX>320ms+cell DTX respectively.

[0112] Optionally, when UE DRX is not configured and cell DTX / DRX is configured, the terminal reports the link quality assessment result to the higher layer at every indication period (also referred to as a reporting period) at the physical layer. The terminal determines the indication period as the maximum value of the following parameters: a specific period value (e.g., 10 ms), and the minimum value of parameter 1 and parameter 2, where parameter 1 is the SSB period of all configured RLMs, and parameter 2 is the maximum value of all CSI-RS periods configured RLM compared with the cell DTX / DRX period.

[0113] When UE DRX is not configured and cell DTX / DRX is configured, the terminal reports the link quality assessment result from the physical layer to the higher layer every indication period. The terminal determines the indication period as the maximum value of the following parameters: the UE DRX period, the minimum value of parameter 1, and parameter 2, where parameter 1 is the maximum value of all SSB periods configured for RLM, and parameter 2 is the maximum value of all CSI-RS periods configured for RLM compared with the cell DTX / DRX period.

[0114] Example 2

[0115] For the CSI-RS used for L1-RSRP reporting, the corresponding associated reporting parameters include the CSI reporting configuration of L1-RSRP / L1-SINR, and the measurement period requirements are shown in Table 1, that is,

[0116] Table 9.5.4.2-1: Measurement period TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_CSI-RS forFR1

[0117] When cell DTX / DRX is configured, the terminal does not expect to measure CSI-RS in the non-active part of cell DTX / DRX, that is, T in Table 2 CSI-RS Replace with T' CSI-RS =Max(T CSI-RS ,T DTX ) or T' CSI-RS =Max(T CSI-RS , T DTX ) / Ceil(D DTXon / T CSI-RS ) and T Report Replace with T'report = Max(Treport, T cellDRX ) or T'report=Max(Treport,T cellDRX ) / Ceil(D cellDRXon / Treport), thereby obtaining the measurement requirements in the scenarios of non DRX+cell DTX, DRX<=320ms+cell DTX, and DRX>320ms+cell DTX respectively.

[0118] Example 3

[0119] Assuming that the CSI-RS used for RRM may include the CSI-RS of the serving cell and the CSI-RS of neighboring cells, if the terminal receives the cell DTX / DRX configuration (such as the cell DTX / DRX pattern) of the serving cell and the CSI-RS used for RRM is configured to be affected by cell DTX / DRX, the RRM CSI-RS associated with the serving cell ID or the configured cell list is not transmitted during the non-active period, and the terminal does not perform measurements.

[0120] Example 4

[0121] Assume that the CSI-RS used for CSI-reporting or L1-SINR reporting can include CSI-RS for channel measurement and CSI-RS for interference measurement. CSI-RS used for interference measurement is divided into two types: NZP CSI-RS and CSI RS-IM. Then, the different CSI-RS associated with the same reporting configuration are affected differently by Cell DTX / DRX.

[0122] For example, the terminal does not expect the CSI-RS for channel measurement or the NZP CSI-RS for interference measurement to be transmitted during the non-active period of Cell DTX and thus does not perform measurement. The CSI-RS for interference measurement is measured normally.

[0123] In other words, for a CSI report configured under Cell DTX / DRX, if CSI-RS for channel measurement and CSI-IM RS for interference measurement are configured, the CSI-RS associated with the CSI report is the CSI-RS for channel measurement in the most recent active period before the CSI-RS reference resource, and the most recent CSI-RS IM for interference measurement.
