The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0123] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0124] To better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, first, some exemplary embodiments are used to illustrate relevant scenarios.

[0125] In some embodiments, if the terminal is instructed to report SSB-based Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements with an associated Synchronization Signal and PBCH block index, then the terminal should be able to identify a new detectable inter-frequency SSB of an already detected cell within Tidentify_inter_with_index. Tidentify_inter_with_index = (T PSS / SSS_sync_inter +TSSB_measurement_period_inter+T SSB_time_index_inter )ms

[0126] Among them, the above formula shows that the terminal needs to perform three steps in sequence to detect the new cell, for example, primary synchronization signal (PSS, Primary Synchronization Signal) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS, Secondary Synchronization Signal) detection, SSB index detection and SSB-based measurement, and the corresponding time is T PSS / SSS_sync_inter , TSSB_measurement_period_inter and T SSB_time_index_inter .

[0127] In some embodiments, at each step of PSS / SSS detection, SSB index detection, and SSB-based measurement, the terminal needs to scan the received signal using different receive beams. For example, if the receive beam scanning factor is 8, the total latency for completing PSS / SSS detection, SSB index detection, and SSB-based measurement may be very large.

[0128] In some embodiments, for frequency range 2 (FR2) L3 measurement of a new cell, the terminal needs to perform receive beam scanning for PSS / SSS detection, SSB index detection, and SSB-based measurement.

[0129] In some embodiments, referring to Table 1, the requirements for PSS / SSS synchronization are defined as follows:

[0130] Table 1 PSS / SSS detection time period (frequency range FR2)

[0131] In some embodiments, for Mpss / sss_sync_inter, for terminals supporting FR2-1 power class 1 or 5, Mpss / sss_sync_inter = 64 samples. For terminals supporting FR2-1 power class 2, Mpss / sss_sync_inter = 40 samples. For terminals supporting FR2-1 power class 3, Mpss / sss_sync_inter = 40 samples. For terminals supporting FR2-1 power class 4, Mpss / sss_sync_inter = 40 samples.

[0132] In some embodiments, taking FR2-1 power level 1 or 5 as an example, the terminal will first perform automatic gain control (AGC) and time tracking based on SSB (for example, based on 3 samples). Then, the terminal will continue to perform PSS / SSS detection based on SSB for 5 samples. For each sample in FR2, the terminal needs to perform 8 RX beam scans. Then for PSS / SSS synchronization, the total number of measurements in the related art is 8×8=64. However, since the terminal can obtain some prior information of the receive beam (also referred to as the RX beam, the two are interchangeable and not limited here) based on AGC and timing tracking, the terminal does not need 8 receive beams for PSS / SSS detection. The total delay of Mpss / sss_sync_inter can be reduced.

[0133] FIG2a is an interactive schematic diagram of a cell detection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2a, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a cell detection method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0143] Synchronization signal synchronization, wherein the synchronization signal includes a primary synchronization signal PSS and / or a secondary synchronization signal SSS;

[0144] Synchronous information block SSB index detection;

[0145] SSB-based measurements.

[0146] In some embodiments, synchronization signal synchronization, synchronization information block SSB index detection and SSB-based measurement can be performed sequentially.

[0147] In some embodiments, the terminal can identify a new inter-frequency cell that can be detected within Tidentify_inter_with_index.

[0148] For example, Tidentify_inter_with_index=(T PSS / SSS_sync_inter +TSSB_measurement_period_inter+T SSB_time_index_inter )ms.

[0149] Among them, T PSS / SSS_sync_inter Corresponds to the time of synchronization signal synchronization, TSSB_measurement_period_inter corresponds to the time of SSB index detection, T SSB_time_index_inter Corresponds to the time of SSB-based measurement.

[0150] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a first time for the terminal to perform the cell detection operation is determined.

[0151] In some embodiments, the detection capability is determined based on the first information; wherein the detection capability includes a first time for the terminal to perform the cell detection operation.

[0152] In some embodiments, it is determined that the scanning rate is greater than a rate threshold, and it is determined that the first time is less than a time threshold. It is understandable that the greater the scanning rate, the shorter the first time.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the scanning rate is greater than a rate threshold, it is determined that the first time is less than a time threshold; or, in response to the scanning rate being greater than a rate threshold, the first time is less than the time threshold.

[0154] In some embodiments, for the heterofrequency FR2 new cell detection requirement, if the terminal can perform faster receive beam scanning, a new terminal capability can be defined, that is, when the terminal supports faster receive beam scanning capability, a shorter cell identification time (corresponding to the first time) can be set.

[0155] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a receive beam scanning factor associated with the terminal performing a cell detection operation is determined.

[0156] In some embodiments, the receive beam scanning factor is used to indicate the number of receive beams set for each detection sample.

[0157] In some embodiments, a first receive beam scanning factor for the terminal to perform synchronization signal synchronization is determined based on the first information.

[0158] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a second receive beam scanning factor for the terminal to perform SSB index detection is determined.

[0159] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a third receive beam scanning factor for the terminal to perform SSB measurement is determined.

[0160] In some embodiments, the synchronization signal synchronization includes: a first operation and a second operation; the first operation includes automatic gain control AGC and / or time-frequency tracking, and the second operation is synchronization signal detection; based on the first information, it is determined that the terminal performs a first sub-receiving beam scanning factor associated with the first operation.

[0161] In some embodiments, the synchronization signal synchronization includes: a first operation and a second operation; the first operation includes automatic gain control AGC and / or time-frequency tracking, and the second operation is synchronization signal detection; based on the first information, it is determined that the terminal performs a second sub-receiving beam scanning factor associated with the second operation.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first sub-receive beam scanning factor is different from the second sub-receive beam scanning factor.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first sub-receive beam scanning factor is greater than the second sub-receive beam scanning factor.

[0164] Exemplarily, for PSS / SSS synchronization, there are two sub-steps: AGC / timing tracking (corresponding to the first operation) and PSS / SSS detection (corresponding to the second operation). In a solution different from the present disclosure, for both steps, it is assumed that the same receive beam scanning factor (e.g., 8) is set. If the terminal supports new faster beam scanning capabilities, the receive beam scanning factors of the two sub-steps can be set to different, that is, the receive beam scanning factor used for the second step (e.g., PSS / SSS detection) can be less than 8.

[0165] It should be noted that the reason for the above example is that after the receive beam scan in the first step, the terminal determines which receive beam is most suitable for the new cell. Then for the subsequent PSS / SSS detection, since the terminal already has information about the receive beam based on the previous AGC and time-frequency tracking, fewer receive beams can be applied. For example, the receive beam scanning factor can be reduced to 5. Then the total SSB samples will be 3×8+5×5=49 samples. Please note that 5 here is just an example of the receive beam scanning factor. Then the total samples will be reduced from 64 samples to 49 samples. Assuming that the SSB-based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) period is 160 milliseconds, the reduced cell detection time is 15×160 milliseconds=2400 milliseconds.

[0166] In some embodiments, information about a reception beam used by the terminal to perform the second operation is determined based on information about a reception beam used by the terminal to perform the first operation.

[0167] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a second time for the terminal to perform the first operation and a third time for the terminal to perform the second operation are determined respectively.

[0168] Illustratively, separate delays (ie, the second time and the third time) are specified for AGC and PSS / SSS detection, respectively.

[0169] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a fourth time is determined, where the fourth time includes the time when the terminal performs the first operation and the second operation.

[0170] Exemplarily, a total delay (ie, a fourth time) is specified for AGC and PSS / SSS detection.

[0171] In some embodiments, the SSB-based measurement includes: a third operation and a fourth operation; the third operation includes automatic gain control AGC and / or time-frequency tracking, and the fourth operation is an SSB-based measurement; based on the first information, it is determined that the terminal performs a third sub-receive beam scanning factor associated with the third operation.

[0172] In some embodiments, the SSB-based measurement includes: a third operation and a fourth operation; the third operation includes automatic gain control AGC and / or time-frequency tracking, and the fourth operation is an SSB-based measurement; based on the first information, it is determined that the terminal performs a fourth sub-receive beam scanning factor associated with the fourth operation.

[0173] In some embodiments, the third sub-receive beam scanning factor is different from the fourth sub-receive beam scanning factor.

[0174] In some embodiments, the third sub-receive beam scanning factor is greater than the fourth sub-receive beam scanning factor.

[0175] In some embodiments, information about the reception beam used by the terminal to perform the fourth operation is determined based on information about the reception beam used by the terminal to perform the third operation.

[0176] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a fifth time for the terminal to perform the third operation and a sixth time for the terminal to perform the fourth operation are determined respectively.

[0177] In some embodiments, based on the first information, a seventh time is determined, where the seventh time includes the time when the terminal performs the third operation and the fourth operation.

[0178] In some embodiments, the cell detection operation is a cell detection operation for an inter-frequency range 2FR2.

[0179] The receive beam scanning factor is exemplarily described below through some exemplary embodiments, but is not limited thereto.

[0180] For example, see Table 2, which shows an inter-frequency measurement applied to a band gap:

[0181] Table 2. Time period corresponding to PSS / SSS detection (FR2)

[0182] In some embodiments, for M AGC_inter : For terminals supporting FR2-1 power class 1 or 5, Mpss / sss_sync_inter = 3×8 samples.

[0183] In some embodiments, for Mpss / sss_sync_inter: Mpss / sss_sync_inter=5×N1 samples for terminals supporting FR2-1 power class 1 or 5, where N1 is the receive beam scanning factor in the PSS / SSS detection step.

[0184] For example, see Table 3, which shows an inter-frequency measurement applied to a band gap:

[0185] Table 3. Time period corresponding to PSS / SSS detection (FR2)

[0186] In some embodiments, for Mpss / sss_sync_inter: for terminals supporting FR2-1 power class 1 or 5, Mpss / sss_sync_inter=[N] samples, where N is less than 64.

[0187] In some embodiments, N=3×8+5×N1, where N1 is the receive beam scanning factor used for the PSS / SSS detection step.

[0188] For example, the terminal behavior with a smaller receive beam scanning factor can also be applied to inter-frequency measurements with a network controlled small gap (NCSG). See Table 4, which shows the time period for detecting PSS / SSS using NCSG (FR2):

[0189] Table 4. Time periods corresponding to PSS / SSS detection using NCSG (FR2)

[0190] In some embodiments, for Mpss / sss_sync_inter, for terminals supporting FR2 power class 1 or 5, Mpss / sss_sync_inter=[N] samples, where N is less than 64.

[0191] In some embodiments, N may be: N=3×8+5×N 2 , where N 2 is the receive beam scanning factor used for the time index detection step.

[0192] In some embodiments, if the receive beam scanning information has been reduced in the previous step, a smaller receive beam scanning factor may be applied.

[0193] For example, see Table 5 for SSB index detection and SSB-based measurement applied to inter-frequency measurement with gaps or inter-frequency measurement with NCSG:

[0194] Table 5: Time period for time index detection (frequency range FR2)

[0195] In some embodiments, for MSSB_index_inter: for UEs supporting FR2-1 power class 1 or 5, MSSB_index_inter=[N] samples, where N is less than 40.

[0196] In some embodiments, N=3×8+2×N2, where N2 is the receive beam scanning factor used for the time index detection step.

[0197] For example, see Table 6, which shows the measurement period (frequency FR2) of the inter-frequency measurement with gaps.

[0198] Table 6 Measurement period of inter-frequency measurement with gap (frequency FR2)

[0199] In some embodiments, for Mmeas_period_inter: for UEs supporting FR2-1 power class 1 or 5, Mmeas_period_inter=[N], where N is less than 64.

[0200] In some embodiments, N may be: N=3×8+2×N3, where N3 is the receive beam scanning factor of the measurement step.
