[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0003] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a method, apparatus, and related equipment for processing L1 measurement results. Background Art

[0004] Currently, the Layer 1 (L1) measurement results reported by user equipment (UE) are the L1 measurement results corresponding to the serving cell. Related technologies introduce Layer 1 / L2-Triggered Mobility (LTM). During the LTM process, the UE can perform L1 measurements on neighboring cells associated with the LTM reporting configuration. However, in some scenarios, some or all of the neighboring cells associated with the LTM reporting configuration may not be able to perform L1 measurements. Consequently, the terminal cannot obtain valid L1 measurement results for these neighboring cells. In other words, these neighboring cells have no valid L1 measurement results. However, the size of the current L1 measurement report is pre-configured by the network-side device. If the valid L1 measurement results of the terminal are smaller than the number configured by the network, a method needs to be determined to enable the terminal to report the L1 measurement report in this situation and enable the network-side device to obtain the valid L1 measurement results of the cells in the L1 measurement report.

[0134] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the following description is first given.

[0135] (1) Layer 1 / L2-Triggered Mobility (LTM) L1 measurement and reporting configuration;

[0136] In related technologies, Layer 1 / L2-Triggered Mobility (LTM) is introduced. Specifically, the serving base station determines the target cell based on the Layer 1 (L1) measurement results of the user equipment (UE), and uses the Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) to trigger the UE to switch the primary cell or primary and secondary cells (or primary cell group or secondary cell group) to the target cell (or target cell group). During the LTM process, the network side will send a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message in advance, which contains multiple candidate configuration information and multiple LTM channel state information (CSI) resource configuration information. Each LTM CSI resource configuration information includes one or more reference signal (RS) resources of one or more LTM candidate cells, that is, one or more candidate configuration IDs and the corresponding synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal block (SSB) index. The candidate configuration associated with the candidate configuration ID has detailed RS configuration information of the candidate cell, including the frequency, subcarrier spacing, period, time domain position and power-related information of the RS. The UE can find its specific RS configuration information in the candidate configuration through the candidate configuration ID and SSB index, so that it can measure the RS and obtain the layer 1 measurement result of the RS of this candidate cell.

[0137] In addition, the UE's serving cell configuration also includes one or more LTM-related CSI reporting configurations. Each CSI reporting configuration contains the following information:

[0138] LTM CSI reporting configuration flag;

[0139] LTM CSI resource configuration identifier;

[0140] LTM reporting configuration types, including periodic reporting / semi-continuous reporting based on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and their corresponding reporting resources;

[0141] The LTM reporting content includes the number of candidate cells reported by LTM CSI and the number of RSs reported by each cell.

[0142] Each LTM CSI reporting configuration is associated with one LTM CSI resource configuration information. The UE uses the reporting type and reporting resources in this LTM CSI reporting configuration to report the L1 measurement results of the N RSs of the M candidate cells in the LTM CSI resource configuration information.

[0143] According to the current RAN4 standard process, UE cannot perform L1 measurement on unknown cells. A known cell is a neighboring cell or candidate cell that meets the following conditions:

[0144] The UE has performed L3 measurements on this cell (RAN4 is currently discussing how long L3 measurements should be performed to meet the condition)

[0145] The SSB of the target cell for L1 measurement is detectable.

[0146] Candidate cells or neighboring cells that do not meet the above conditions are called unkown cells.

[0147] (2) L3 measurement configuration and reporting configuration;

[0148] The network will configure the UE in RRC_CONNECTED state to perform L3 measurements. The network configures the UE to report according to the measurement configuration or evaluate whether the conditional handover is met based on the measurement results. The measurement configuration information includes the following parameters:

[0149] The first item: Measurement target or measurement object (Measurement Object, MO), an MO indicates the time-frequency position of the RS to be measured. The network side (Network, NW) configures multiple cells associated with the MO and its cell-specific offset value. Each MO is associated with a measurement object identifier (measObjectId).

[0150] Item 2: Report configuration. Each report configuration includes:

[0151] Reporting criteria, which are used to trigger the UE to send measurement reports and can be periodic reporting or event-triggered reporting;

[0152] RS type, where the RS type is used to indicate which RS the UE uses to derive the L3 measurement result;

[0153] Reporting format, i.e. the parameters included by the UE in the measurement report, such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP);

[0154] In addition, the reporting configuration may also include other relevant information, such as the maximum number of cells reported by the UE and the maximum number of beams reported by each cell.

[0155] The third item is the measurement identifier. Each measurement identifier is associated with a measurement target and a reporting configuration. By configuring multiple measurement identifiers, multiple MOs can be associated with one reporting configuration, or multiple reporting configurations can be associated with one MO.

[0156] The fourth item: parameter configuration, defines the filtering configuration parameters used for all event evaluation and related reporting as well as periodic measurement reporting.

[0157] The fifth item: Measurement interval, the period during which the UE performs measurements.

[0158] For the MO associated with the periodic and event-triggered reporting of L3, when the UE performs L3 measurement on the MO, the UE decides whether to perform the measurement based on SSB or CSI-RS according to the reference signal type (RS-type) in the reporting configuration associated with this MO, and decides to perform measurements such as reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ) or signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR) according to the reporting format in the reporting configuration. If the measurement configuration includes the serving cell measurement configuration (S-Measure Config), when the quality of the serving cell is lower than the threshold value associated with the S-Measure Config, the UE can calculate the L3 measurement based on the MO of the associated non-serving cell.

[0159] (3) reporting requirements and invalid measurements;

[0160] The reporting range of the Synchronization Signal-Reference Signal Received Power (SS-RSRP) for L3 reporting is defined as -156dBm to -31dBm with a resolution of 1dB. The reporting range of the SS-RSRP and CSI-RSRP for L1 reporting is defined as -140 to -44dBm with a resolution of 1dB.

[0161] Measurement report requirements:

[0162] The UE shall send L1-RSRP reports only for the reporting configuration configured for the activated Bandwidth Part (BWP).

[0163] If the number of reported reference signals (nrofReportedRS) is configured as 1, the UE shall report the L1-RSRP value as a 7-bit value in the range of [-140, -44] dBm with a step size of 1 dB. If nrofReportedRS is configured to be greater than 1, or if group-based beam reporting (groupBasedBeamReporting) is enabled, the UE shall use differential L1-RSRP-based reporting. Differential L1-RSRP is quantized as a 4-bit value with a step size of 2 dB. The valid range of differential L1-RSRP is [-30, 0]. In LTE and 5G dual connectivity (E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity, EN-DC) operation, additional delay can be expected when the UE is configured to perform carrier-based switching of Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), or if the UE is capable of handling Frequency Range (FR) gaps.

[0164] The following describes in detail the method for processing the L1 measurement results provided by the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0165] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing L1 measurement results, including:

[0166] Step 201: When the number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the reporting opportunity is less than or equal to the preset reporting number, the terminal includes a first content in the first L1 measurement report associated with the reporting opportunity, and the first content is used to indicate the invalid L1 measurement results in the first L1 measurement report.

[0167] Optionally, the above-mentioned reporting opportunity is a reporting opportunity associated with the first L1 measurement report.

[0168] Optionally, the above L1 resource configuration information is LTM CSI resource configuration information.

[0169] Optionally, an invalid L1 measurement result may be understood as one or more cells or one or more reference signals of a cell included in the L1 resource configuration information having no L1 measurement result.

[0170] Optionally, the inclusion of the LTM CSI resource configuration identifier in the CSI reporting configuration may be understood as association between the L1 resource configuration information and the reporting opportunity.

[0171] Optionally, when the number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the reporting opportunity is less than or equal to the preset reporting number, if the L1 reporting type configured for the UE is periodic reporting or semi-continuous reporting on PUCCH or semi-continuous reporting on PUSCH or non-periodic reporting on PUSCH, the terminal includes the first content in the first L1 measurement report associated with the reporting opportunity.

[0172] The above-mentioned semi-persistent reporting can also be described as semi-persistent reporting.

[0173] It should be noted that the terminal determines the reporting quantity (i.e., the preset reporting quantity mentioned above) based on the parameters configured on the network side. The preset reporting quantity is determined by the network side. For example, the network side requires the terminal to report the measurement results of P reference signals of L cells. L and P are both configured on the network side, and L and P are both positive integers.

[0174] In an embodiment of the present application, when the number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the reporting opportunity is less than or equal to the preset reporting number, the terminal includes a first content in the first L1 measurement report associated with the reporting opportunity, and the first content is used to indicate the invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report. Through the first content, the network side can obtain the invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report, and then determine the L1 measurement results other than the invalid L1 measurement results in the first L1 measurement report as valid L1 measurement results, thereby ensuring consistency in the understanding of the L1 measurement results by the network side and the terminal.

[0175] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before executing step 201, the following steps may be further included:

[0176] A first RRC message sent by a network-side device is received, where the first RRC message includes one or more L1 resource configuration information (such as LTM-CSI-Resource Configuration) and L1 reporting configuration information (LTM-CSI-Report Config).

[0177] Each L1 resource configuration information includes:

[0178] (1) L1 resource configuration identifier;

[0179] (2) One or more L1 RS indexes or one or more L1 RS configuration information, where the L1 RS configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0180] RS frequency domain information, such as RS frequency and other frequency domain information;

[0181] RS time domain information, such as RS period;

[0182] RS subcarrier spacing;

[0183] Power-related information of RS;

[0184] The UE may be associated with the configuration information of the L1 RS through the L1 RS index.

[0185] (3) Cell identifiers corresponding to one or more L1 RSs;

[0186] Each L1 reported configuration information includes:

[0187] L1 reporting configuration identifier;

[0188] L1 resource configuration identifier;

[0189] L1 reporting configuration type, including periodic reporting / PUCCH-based semi-persistent reporting and their corresponding reporting resources;

[0190] The L1 reporting content includes the number of candidate cells reported by L1 and the number of RSs reported by each cell.

[0191] Optionally, the first content includes any one of the following:

[0192] A1: invalid measurement value, where the invalid measurement value is used to indicate that an L1 measurement result of the cell or a reference signal of the cell is an invalid L1 measurement result;

[0193] A2: repeated measurement results;

[0194] The first L1 measurement report is required to include L1 measurement results of N cells, the first L1 measurement report includes valid L1 measurement results of M cells and repeated measurement results of valid L1 measurement results of P cells among the M cells, the repeated measurement results of the P cells are used to indicate that the L1 measurement results of the reference signals of NM cells or NM cells are invalid L1 measurement results, N is greater than M, M is greater than or equal to P, and M, N, and P are respectively positive integers;

[0195] Alternatively, the first L1 measurement report is required to include L1 measurement results of T reference signals of S cells, the first L1 measurement report includes valid L1 measurement results of T reference signals of S1 first cells, and includes valid L1 measurement results of Q reference signals of S2 second cells and repeated measurement results of valid L1 measurement results of K reference signals among the Q reference signals of each second cell, and the repeated measurement results of the valid L1 measurement results of K reference signals of each second cell are used to indicate that the L1 measurement results of TQ reference signals of the second cell are invalid L1 measurement results, where S, S1, S2, T, Q, and K are all positive integers, T is greater than Q and S is greater than S1, and S is greater than S2, and K is less than or equal to Q.

[0196] For repeated measurement results, the cell and reference signal identifiers associated with the repeated measurement results contained in the first L1 measurement report should have the same cell and reference signal identifiers as the valid measurement results that are repeated.

[0197] For example, the first L1 measurement report is required to include L1 measurement results of 5 cells. The first L1 measurement report includes two identical L1 measurement results of cell 1, two identical L1 measurement results of cell 2, and one L1 measurement result of cell 3. Then, the first L1 measurement report actually includes valid L1 measurement results of three cells, cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3. The repeated L1 measurement result of cell 1 and the repeated L1 measurement result of cell 2 are invalid L1 measurement results, that is, the L1 measurement report contains valid L1 measurement results of 3 cells and 2 invalid cell L1 measurement results.

[0198] For another example, the first L1 measurement report is required to include L1 measurement results of four reference signals of three cells. The first L1 measurement report includes the L1 measurement results of the four reference signals of cell 1 and the L1 measurement results of the four reference signals of cell 2, and also includes the L1 measurement results of two RS1s, one L1 measurement result of RS2, and one L1 measurement result of RS3 of cell 3, and also includes the L1 measurement results of two RS1s and two RS2 of cell 4. Then, the first L1 measurement report includes valid L1 measurement results of RS1, RS2, and RS3 of cell 3, and the repeated L1 measurement result of RS1 of cell 3 is an invalid L1 measurement result; and the first L1 measurement report includes valid L1 measurement results of RS1 and RS2 of cell 4, and one repeated RS1 measurement result and one repeated RS2 measurement result in the L1 measurement report are invalid L1 measurement results, that is, the first L1 measurement report does not have a valid L1 measurement result for one reference signal of cell 3 and does not have a valid L1 measurement result for two reference signals of cell 4.

[0199] In an embodiment of the present application, when the UE performs L3 measurement, the UE fails to successfully complete the L3 measurement on the cell / frequency due to reasons such as a relatively low signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR). If the frequency also corresponds to L1 resource configuration information, the UE cannot perform its associated L1 measurement because the cell is unknown. For L1 reporting configuration information, the UE must report the L1 measurement results when a reporting opportunity arises. However, in the above scenario, some or all of the neighboring cells associated with the L1 reporting configuration may not perform L1 measurement, so there are not enough valid results to report. In this scenario, the above-mentioned invalid measurement value or repeated measurement result can be used to indicate that the corresponding cell or the reference signal of the cell has no valid measurement result.

[0200] For item A1 above, the first L1 measurement report includes the cell identifier or the reference signal identifier of the cell corresponding to the invalid measurement value. Since the first L1 measurement report needs to include the cell identifier and the reference signal identifier, the method for determining the cell identifier and the reference signal identifier corresponding to the invalid measurement value included in the first L1 measurement report is as follows: if the first L1 measurement report needs to include an invalid first L1 measurement result of all reference signals of a cell, and there are no valid L1 measurement results in the multiple cells associated with the first L1 measurement report, then when the UE fills the invalid value in the first L1 measurement report, it can arbitrarily select one or more cell identifiers from the multiple cells without valid L1 measurement results or select one or more cell identifiers according to the size order of the cell identifiers to include in the first L1 measurement report, or the UE includes the invalid cell identifier agreed upon in the protocol in the first L1 measurement report. For the identifier of the reference signal associated with the invalid measurement value, the UE can arbitrarily select one or more from the reference signals included in the cell selected by itself, or the UE selects one or more in order of the size of the reference signal identifiers, or the UE includes the identifier of the invalid reference signal agreed upon by the protocol in the first L1 measurement report; if the first L1 measurement report needs to include the invalid first L1 measurement result of some reference signals of a cell, that is, the number of valid reference signals of the cell is less than the number of reference signals reported by each cell required by the network, then the first L1 measurement report includes the cell identifier. For the identifier of the reference signal associated with the invalid measurement value, the UE can arbitrarily select one or more from the reference signals included in the cell, or the UE selects one or more in order of the size of the reference signal identifiers, or the UE includes the identifier of the invalid reference signal agreed upon by the protocol in the first L1 measurement report. The invalid measurement value may be a value outside the allowed reporting value range, or a value within the allowed reporting value range. Optionally, a value is reserved within the allowed reporting value range as an invalid measurement value. For example, the invalid measurement value may be the lower limit value or the minimum value (i.e., the lowest reported value) within the reporting value range, or the upper limit value or the maximum value within the reporting value range. Specifically, if the lower limit value of the current L3 SS-RSRP or CSI-RSRP is -156, then when the UE reports -156, it indicates that the corresponding cell or the cell's reference signal does not have a valid L1 measurement result. If the lower limit value of the current L1 SS-RSRP or CSI-RSRP is -141 and the upper limit value is -45, then the invalid measurement value may be -141 or -45, or a value less than -141, or a value greater than -45.Optionally, the above-mentioned first L1 measurement report is a measurement report based on differential L1-RSRP, and the invalid measurement value may also be less than the value of differential reference signal received power (DIFFRSRP)_15, that is, the value of ΔRSRP is less than -30, or greater than DIFFRSRP_0, that is, the value of ΔRSRP is greater than 0.

[0201] The invalid measurement value can indicate that the L1 measurement result of the corresponding cell or the reference signal of the cell is invalid, thereby enabling the network side device to learn the validity of the L1 measurement result of each cell in the L1 measurement report.

[0202] For item A2 above, if the measurement results of the NM cells overlap with the L1 measurement results of at least one of the M cells, the network-side device can determine that, except for the valid measurement results for the M cells, the L1 measurement results of the other NM cells are invalid, or the UE has not obtained valid L1 measurement results for the other NM cells. Alternatively, if the measurement results of the TQ reference signals of the S2 cells overlap with the L1 measurement results of at least one of the Q reference signals, the network-side device can obtain only Q valid measurement results for the S2 cells, and the measurement results of the other TQ reference signals are invalid, or the UE has not obtained valid L1 measurement results for the other TQ reference signals.

[0203] It should be noted that if S2 is greater than 1, the Q values ​​corresponding to different cells in the S2 cells are the same or different.

[0204] The repeated measurement results implicitly indicate that the corresponding cell or the reference signal of the cell has no valid L1 measurement result, thereby enabling the network side device to learn the validity of the L1 measurement result of each cell in the L1 measurement report.

[0205] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0206] In a case where a reporting type corresponding to the first L1 measurement report is periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting on a PUCCH, semi-persistent reporting on a PUSCH, or aperiodic reporting on a PUSCH, the first L1 measurement report is sent.

[0207] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes at least one of the following:

[0208] The terminal does not expect the network side device to send a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state activation command of the relevant reference signal to the terminal based on the invalid L1 measurement result; it can also be understood as: the network side does not send a transmission configuration indication state TCI state activation command of the relevant reference signal to the terminal based on the invalid L1 measurement result;

[0209] The terminal does not expect the network side device to include the TCI state of the relevant reference signal in the handover command based on the invalid L1 measurement result; it can also be understood that: the network side does not include the TCI state of the relevant reference signal in the handover command based on the invalid L1 measurement result;

[0210] The terminal does not expect the network side device to include the reference signal index associated with the first L1 measurement report in a physical downlink control channel PDCCH command used to trigger the UE to perform early acquisition of the timing advance based on the invalid L1 measurement result. It can also be understood that: the network side does not include the reference signal index associated with the first L1 measurement report in a physical downlink control channel PDCCH command used to trigger the UE to perform early acquisition of the timing advance based on the invalid L1 measurement result.

[0211] In an embodiment of the present application, the protocol is agreed upon or implemented based on the network side. Only when the L1 measurement result of the RS reported by the UE is valid, the TCI state or cell associated with the RS is known. When the L1 measurement result of the RS reported by the UE is the first content, the above operation stipulates the network side's processing behavior for the corresponding RS or the TCI state associated with the corresponding RS.

[0212] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes at least one of the following:

[0213] Item 1: sending first indication information when all valid L1 measurement results corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the reporting opportunity are not obtained;

[0214] The first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0215] There is no valid L1 measurement result at the first reporting opportunity, the first reporting opportunity including at least one reporting opportunity located after the first moment and associated with the reporting configuration identifier in the first indication information, the first moment being the moment when the network side device receives the first indication information;

[0216] There is no valid L1 measurement result at a second reporting opportunity, and the second reporting opportunity includes at least one reporting opportunity located after the first moment.

[0217] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0218] Deactivate the instruction or ignore the instruction;

[0219] Report configuration identifier (report id).

[0220] Exemplarily, when the first indication information includes a reporting configuration identifier, the reporting configuration identifier indicates to the network-side device that after receiving the first indication information, there is no valid L1 measurement result at at least one reporting opportunity (e.g., L reporting opportunities) associated with the reporting configuration identifier, and that there may be valid L1 measurement results at reporting opportunities after the L reporting opportunities. Alternatively, when the first indication information includes a deactivation indication or an ignore indication, the network-side device is instructed that there is no valid L1 measurement result at a reporting opportunity after receiving the first indication information, or the network-side device is instructed that there is no valid L1 measurement result at at least one reporting opportunity (e.g., L reporting opportunities) after receiving the first indication information, and that there may be valid L1 measurement results at reporting opportunities after the L reporting opportunities.

[0221] Item 2: When the obtained L1 measurement result is a valid L1 measurement result associated with the reporting opportunity, and the reporting opportunity is a reporting opportunity ignored by the network-side device, sending second indication information;

[0222] The second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0223] Monitoring a third reporting opportunity, where the third reporting opportunity includes at least one reporting opportunity that is located after a second moment and is associated with a reporting configuration identifier in the second indication information, where the second moment is a moment when the network side device receives the second indication information;

[0224] Monitor a fourth reporting opportunity, where the fourth reporting opportunity includes at least one reporting opportunity located after the second moment.

[0225] Optionally, the second indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0226] Activate the indication or stop it to ignore it;

[0227] Report configuration identifier.

[0228] Here, when the obtained L1 measurement result is a valid L1 measurement result associated with the reporting opportunity, and the reporting opportunity is a reporting opportunity ignored by the network side device, the above-mentioned second indication information enables the network side device to re-monitor the reporting opportunity and thereby obtain the valid L1 measurement result on the reporting opportunity.

[0229] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0230] Sending a second L1 measurement report;

[0231] The second L1 measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0232] The first item: indicates whether the cell associated with the L1 reporting configuration has valid L1 measurement results;

[0233] The second item: the L1 measurement result of the reference signal included in the cell with a valid L1 measurement result, which can be RSRP;

[0234] Item 3: The number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell associated with the L1 reporting configuration or indication information of whether the reference signal associated with the cell has a valid L1 measurement result.

[0235] For the first item above, for example, one reporting opportunity is associated with neighboring cells #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8. If the UE has L1 measurement results for neighboring cells #1, #3, and #6, the UE reports "10100100", where "1" indicates that the neighboring cell at its location has a valid L1 measurement result, and "0" indicates that the neighboring cell at its location does not have a valid L1 measurement result.

[0236] For the second item above: the number of RS measurement results of each cell reported by the UE is configured by the NW or agreed upon by the protocol or reported by the UE, and is used to indicate the number of available RS measurement results for each cell, or the minimum number of valid RS measurement results for each cell to be reported by the UE; the UE reports the measurement results of the said number of RSs for each cell.

[0237] For the third item above, one implementation method is: the number of valid L1 measurement results of the RS of each cell reported by the UE is the same. For example, if neighboring cell #1 has 4 RS measurement results, neighboring cell #3 has 5 RS measurement results, and neighboring cell #4 has 6 RS measurement results, the UE reports 4. Another implementation method is that the UE reports the number of valid RS measurement results of each cell. For example, if neighboring cell #1 has 4 RS measurement results, neighboring cell #3 has 5 RS measurement results, and neighboring cell #4 has 6 RS measurement results, the UE reports "4, 5, 6". Or, assuming that each cell contains 5 RSs, and assuming that RS #1, 2, and 5 of cell #1 have valid L1 measurement results, and RS #3 and 4 do not have valid L1 measurement results, then for cell #1, the UE reports "11001", where "1" indicates that the RS corresponding to its location has a valid L1 measurement result, and "0" indicates that the RS corresponding to its location does not have a valid L1 measurement result.

[0238] Optionally, the terminal sends the second L1 measurement report using uplink control information (UCI) or MAC CE at an L1 reporting opportunity.

[0239] Optionally, before sending the second L1 measurement report, the method further includes: receiving a second RRC message sent by the network-side device, where the second RRC message differs from the first RRC message in that the L1 reporting configuration does not include L1 reporting content. That is, the length of the L1 reporting content is variable, and the L1 reporting content may only include valid L1 measurement results, thereby effectively saving reporting overhead.

[0240] Since the second L1 measurement report may only include valid L1 measurement results, reporting overhead can be effectively saved.

[0241] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0242] When the L3 measurement result of the serving cell is not lower than the threshold value associated with the serving cell measurement configuration, and the neighboring cell is a candidate cell associated with the L1 measurement, the terminal performs L3 measurement on the neighboring cell.

[0243] Optionally, the above-mentioned cell is a pre-configured LTM candidate cell, for example, the above-mentioned neighboring cell is a cell other than the serving cell or a cell other than a special cell (Special Cell, SpCell).

[0244] According to the current protocol, if the measurement configuration includes the serving cell measurement configuration (S-MeasureConfig), when the quality of the serving cell is lower than the threshold associated with S-MeasureConfig, the UE can perform L3 measurements based on the MO of the associated non-serving cell. However, when the quality of the serving cell is not lower than the threshold associated with S-MeasureConfig, the terminal does not perform L3 measurements on the non-serving cell.

[0245] Through the solution of the present application, when the L3 measurement result of the serving cell is not lower than the threshold value associated with the serving cell measurement configuration, and the neighboring cell is a candidate cell associated with the L1 measurement, the terminal continues to perform L3 measurement on the neighboring cell, which can ensure that the neighboring cell or candidate cell associated with the L1 measurement is always in a known state, thereby ensuring that the L1 measurement related to the cell can be performed smoothly.

[0246] Optionally, as an implementation manner, the terminal performing L3 measurement on the neighboring cell includes at least one of the following:

[0247] Performing L3 measurement on a neighboring cell based on a first measurement period, where the first measurement period is greater than a second measurement period, the second measurement period is an original measurement period corresponding to second L3 measurement configuration information, the first measurement period is a period configured by the network, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined based on UE implementation, and the second L3 measurement configuration information includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration associated with the measurement object; that is, performing L3 measurement on the neighboring cell at a lower frequency than before a threshold value associated with the serving cell measurement configuration is met (not lower than) the threshold value;

[0248] Measure the L3 measurement frequency of the neighboring cell to ensure that the neighboring cell does not meet the unknown cell condition, that is, the neighboring cell remains a known cell for the UE;

[0249] The threshold value included in the serving cell measurement configuration is ignored. That is, regardless of whether the threshold associated with S-MeasureConfig is met, the UE performs normal L3 measurement on the frequency point associated with the neighboring cell or the neighboring cell.

[0250] Optionally, the second L3 measurement configuration information in this embodiment of the present application also includes measurement interval configuration information.

[0251] Optionally, after the terminal performs L3 measurement on the neighboring cell, the method further includes:

[0252] The L3 measurement result corresponding to the L3 measurement of the neighboring cell is not reported or triggered to be reported.

[0253] Here, the purpose of performing L3 measurement is to make the neighboring cell a known cell to the UE, thereby facilitating subsequent L1 measurement, rather than to perform mobility management based on the L3 measurement results. Therefore, the L3 measurement results corresponding to the L3 measurement of the neighboring cell are not reported or triggered to reduce signaling overhead.

[0254] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0255] Perform L3 measurements on the cell or frequency associated with the L1 measurement configuration information, based on a pre-configured or protocol-agreed period or based on UE implementation;

[0256] Alternatively, L3 measurement is performed according to first L3 measurement configuration information, where the first L3 measurement configuration information is L3 measurement configuration information corresponding to L1 resource configuration information associated with L1 reporting configuration information included in the serving cell of the terminal.

[0257] If the NW side configures L1 measurement of a neighboring cell (such as Cell1), but does not configure the MO or report configuration related to the L1 measurement in the traditional legacy L3 measurement configuration information (i.e., the second L3 measurement configuration information described in this application), the UE will not perform L3 measurement on the cell associated with the L1 measurement configuration (i.e., Cell1), making this neighboring cell always an unknown cell, and thus the UE cannot perform related L1 measurement. The embodiment of the present application additionally configures the above-mentioned first L3 measurement configuration information, and the first L3 measurement configuration information corresponds to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the L1 reporting configuration information contained in the serving cell, that is, the measurement object contained in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the frequency point where the neighboring cell associated with the L1 measurement is located, so that the UE can perform L3 measurement according to the first L3 measurement configuration information, that is, perform L3 measurement on the neighboring cell related to the L1 measurement, thereby ensuring that all neighboring cells associated with the L1 measurement configuration are known cells.

[0258] In the embodiment of the present application, before performing L3 measurement, the method further includes: receiving the above-mentioned first RRC message.

[0259] Optionally, as an implementation manner, when the second L3 measurement configuration information does not include the frequency point in the L1 resource configuration information, the first L3 measurement configuration information configured by the network side device is acquired.

[0260] Optionally, the terminal obtains the first L3 measurement configuration information through an RRC message, where the RRC message is the same as or different from the foregoing first RRC message.

[0261] In an embodiment of the present application, if the terminal does not receive the above-mentioned first L3 measurement configuration information, L3 measurement is performed on the cell or frequency associated with the L1 measurement configuration information according to a pre-configured or protocol-agreed period or based on UE implementation; if the first L3 measurement configuration information is received, L3 measurement is performed according to the first L3 measurement configuration information.

[0262] It should be noted that, if the second L3 measurement configuration information includes the frequency of the L1 resource configuration information, the network side does not need to configure the corresponding first L3 measurement configuration information for the frequency.

[0263] As an implementation manner, the performing L3 measurement according to the first L3 measurement configuration information includes:

[0264] When the frequency points included in the first L3 measurement configuration information overlap with the frequency points included in the second L3 measurement configuration information, and the terminal performs L3 measurement according to the second L3 measurement configuration information, perform L3 measurement according to the frequency points in the first L3 measurement configuration information that do not overlap with the frequency points of the second L3 measurement configuration information, wherein the second L3 measurement configuration information includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration associated with the measurement object.

[0265] The overlap between the frequency points included in the first L3 measurement configuration information and the frequency points included in the second L3 measurement configuration information can be understood as the frequency points included in the first L3 measurement configuration information includes at least one frequency point in the second L3 measurement configuration information.

[0266] Optionally, the first L3 measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0267] Candidate cell identifier;

[0268] Frequency domain information of a reference signal, the frequency domain information including frequency point information, the frequency point information including the frequency point information of the L1 resource configuration information in the first RRC message;

[0269] Time domain information of the reference signal or the L3 measurement period, for example, the period of the reference signal or the measurement interval, is used to indicate how often the terminal performs the L3 measurement;

[0270] The measurement amount is used to indicate a measurement amount of a reference signal measured by the terminal. For example, the measurement amount is used to indicate a measurement amount of RSRP.

[0271] Optionally, the candidate cell identifier included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the cell identifier in the L1 resource configuration information, or the frequency information included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the frequency information in the L1 resource configuration information.

[0272] In an embodiment of the present application, when the candidate cell identifier included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the cell identifier in the L1 resource configuration information, or when the frequency information included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the frequency information in the L1 resource configuration information, it is determined that the first L3 measurement configuration information is the L3 measurement configuration information corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the L1 reporting configuration information included in the serving cell of the terminal.

[0273] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0274] When the measurement object or reporting configuration associated with the target frequency is configured in the second L3 measurement configuration information, L3 measurement is performed according to the first measurement period or based on the first measurement period and the second measurement period, the second measurement period is the original measurement period corresponding to the second L3 measurement configuration information, and the first measurement period is greater than the second measurement period, the first measurement period is a period configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol or determined based on the UE implementation, the second L3 measurement configuration information includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration associated with the measurement object, and the target frequency is the frequency corresponding to the L1 measurement configuration information associated with the serving cell.

[0275] In an embodiment of the present application, if the network side configures a measurement object or reporting configuration associated with the target frequency (i.e., the frequency corresponding to all L1 measurement configuration information associated with the current serving cell) in the legacy L3 measurement configuration information (i.e., the above-mentioned second L3 measurement configuration information) in order to ensure that L1 measurements of all neighboring cells can be performed smoothly, the terminal can perform a relaxed L3 measurement on the cell (i.e., based on the first measurement period or based on the first measurement period and the second measurement period) to perform L3 measurement, so that the cell meets the known cell requirements, thereby enabling the terminal to perform cell switching based on the L1 measurement.

[0276] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal first receives the first RRC message and the RRC message including the second L3 measurement configuration information, and then the terminal performs normal L3 (L3 measurement based on the second measurement period) or relaxed L3 measurement according to the first RRC message and the second L3 measurement configuration information. Optionally, the terminal performs relaxed L3 measurement according to a period configured by the network side or a predefined period or performs relaxed L3 measurement based on UE implementation.

[0277] Optionally, performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement period or based on the first measurement period and the second measurement period includes at least one of the following:

[0278] B1: upon receiving first control signaling, performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement cycle or according to the first measurement cycle and the second measurement cycle, where the first control signaling is used to instruct the terminal to perform L3 measurement based on the first measurement cycle.

[0279] After receiving the first control signaling, L3 measurement is performed according to the first measurement period or according to the first measurement period and the second measurement period, and L3 measurement may be performed on a neighboring cell or a serving cell.

[0280] B2: performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement cycle during the first portion of the third measurement cycle, and performing L3 measurement according to the second measurement cycle during the second portion of the third measurement cycle.

[0281] The duration of the third measurement period is greater than the target duration, where the target duration is the sum of the duration corresponding to the first measurement period and the duration corresponding to the second measurement period. Optionally, the first portion duration and the second portion duration are predefined by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0282] Exemplarily, if the measurement time period of the measurement object includes a first time period within the above-mentioned first part of the duration and a second time period within the above-mentioned second part of the duration, the terminal performs L3 measurement for the measurement object according to the first measurement cycle within the first time period, and performs L3 measurement based on the second measurement cycle within the second time period.

[0283] Optionally, performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement period includes at least one of the following:

[0284] Perform L3 measurement on the serving cell according to the first measurement cycle;

[0285] L3 measurement is performed on neighboring cells using the same radio access technology (intra-RAT) according to a first measurement cycle.

[0286] In the embodiment of the present application, the serving cell may also perform L3 measurement according to the second measurement period. For neighboring cells using different radio access technologies (inter-RAT), L3 measurement may be performed according to the first measurement period or the second measurement period.

[0287] Optionally, the starting moment of the third measurement cycle is the moment when the terminal receives L1 measurement configuration information or L1 reporting configuration information, or the moment when the terminal receives the first control signaling, or the moment derived by the terminal based on the message containing the third measurement cycle, and the first control signaling is used to instruct the terminal to perform L3 measurement based on the first measurement cycle.

[0288] Optionally, after performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement cycle or based on the first measurement cycle and the second measurement cycle, the method further includes:

[0289] The L3 measurement result corresponding to the L3 measurement is not reported.

[0290] In the embodiment of the present application, performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement period or based on the first measurement period and the second measurement period is to enable the cell to meet the known cell requirements of L1 measurement, rather than to perform mobility management based on the L3 measurement results. Therefore, the L3 measurement results may not be reported here to save reporting signaling overhead.

[0291] In an embodiment of the present application, when the number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the reporting opportunity is less than or equal to the preset reporting number, the terminal includes a first content in the first L1 measurement report associated with the reporting opportunity, and the first content is used to indicate the invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report. Through the first content, the network side can obtain the invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report, and then determine the L1 measurement results other than the invalid L1 measurement results in the first L1 measurement report as valid L1 measurement results, thereby ensuring consistency in the understanding of the L1 measurement results by the network side and the terminal.

[0292] As shown in FIG3 , the embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing L1 measurement results, including:

[0293] Step 301: A network-side device obtains a first L1 measurement report, where the first L1 measurement report includes first content, and the first content is used to indicate an invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report.

[0294] Optionally, the above-mentioned reporting opportunity is a reporting opportunity associated with the first L1 measurement report.

[0295] Optionally, the above L1 resource configuration information is LTM CSI resource configuration information.

[0296] Optionally, an invalid L1 measurement result may be understood as no L1 measurement result exists for the cell or the reference signal of the cell corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information.

[0297] Optionally, when the number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the reporting opportunity is less than or equal to the preset reporting number, if the L1 reporting type configured for the UE is periodic reporting or semi-continuous reporting on PUCCH or semi-continuous reporting on PUSCH or non-periodic reporting on PUSCH, the terminal includes the first content in the first L1 measurement report associated with the reporting opportunity.

[0298] The above-mentioned semi-persistent reporting can also be described as semi-persistent reporting.

[0299] It should be noted that the terminal determines the reporting quantity (i.e., the preset reporting quantity mentioned above) based on the parameters configured on the network side. The preset reporting quantity is determined by the network side. For example, the network side requires the terminal to report the measurement results of P reference signals of L cells. L and P are both configured on the network side, and L and P are both positive integers.

[0300] In an embodiment of the present application, a network-side device obtains a first L1 measurement report, where the first L1 measurement report includes first content, where the first content is used to indicate an invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report. The network-side device can learn of the invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report through the first content, and can then determine the L1 measurement results in the first L1 measurement report other than the invalid L1 measurement result as valid L1 measurement results, thereby ensuring consistency in the understanding of the L1 measurement result between the network-side and the terminal.

[0301] Optionally, the first content includes any one of the following:

[0302] an invalid measurement value, where the invalid measurement value is used to indicate that an L1 measurement result of the cell or a reference signal of the cell is an invalid L1 measurement result;

[0303] Repeated measurement results;

[0304] The first L1 measurement report is required to include L1 measurement results of N cells, the first L1 measurement report includes valid L1 measurement results of M cells and repeated measurement results of valid L1 measurement results of P cells among the M cells, the repeated measurement results of the P cells are used to indicate that the L1 measurement results of the reference signals of NM cells or NM cells are invalid L1 measurement results, N is greater than M, M is greater than or equal to P, and M, N, and P are respectively positive integers;

[0305] Alternatively, the first L1 measurement report is required to include L1 measurement results of T reference signals of S cells, the first L1 measurement report includes valid L1 measurement results of T reference signals of S1 first cells, and includes valid L1 measurement results of Q reference signals of S2 second cells and repeated measurement results of valid L1 measurement results of K reference signals among the Q reference signals of each second cell, and the repeated measurement results of the valid L1 measurement results of K reference signals of each second cell are used to indicate that the L1 measurement results of TQ reference signals of the second cell are invalid L1 measurement results, where S, S1, S2, T, Q, and K are all positive integers, T is greater than Q and S is greater than S1, and S is greater than S2, and K is less than or equal to Q.

[0306] The first content has been described in detail in the method embodiment on the terminal side and will not be repeated here.

[0307] Optionally, after obtaining the first L1 measurement report, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0308] not sending a TCI state activation command of a related reference signal to the terminal based on the invalid L1 measurement result;

[0309] not including the TCI state of the relevant reference signal in the handover command based on the invalid L1 measurement result;

[0310] The reference signal index associated with the first L1 measurement report is not included in a PDCCH command used to trigger the UE to perform early acquisition of the timing advance based on the invalid L1 measurement result.

[0311] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0312] Obtaining first indication information or second indication information;

[0313] The first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0314] There is no valid L1 measurement result at the first reporting opportunity, the first reporting opportunity including at least one reporting opportunity located after the first moment and associated with the reporting configuration identifier in the first indication information, the first moment being the moment when the network side device receives the first indication information;

[0315] There is no valid L1 measurement result at a second reporting opportunity, where the second reporting opportunity includes at least one reporting opportunity located after the first moment;

[0316] The second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0317] Monitoring a third reporting opportunity, where the third reporting opportunity includes at least one reporting opportunity that is located after a second moment and is associated with a reporting configuration identifier in the second indication information, where the second moment is a moment when the network side device receives the second indication information;

[0318] Monitor a fourth reporting opportunity, where the fourth reporting opportunity includes at least one reporting opportunity located after the second moment.

[0319] Optionally, the first indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0320] Deactivate the instruction or ignore the instruction;

[0321] Report configuration identifier;

[0322] Alternatively, the second indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0324] Report configuration identifier.

[0325] The first indication information and the second indication information have been described in detail in the method claims on the terminal side and will not be repeated here.

[0326] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0327] Obtain a second L1 measurement report;

[0328] The second L1 measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0329] L1 reporting configuration indicates whether the cell associated with the L1 measurement result is valid;

[0330] L1 measurement results of reference signals included in cells with valid L1 measurement results;

[0331] The L1 report configures the number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell associated with the configuration or indicates whether the reference signal associated with the cell has a valid L1 measurement result.

[0332] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0333] First L3 measurement configuration information is sent, where the first L3 measurement configuration information is L3 measurement configuration information corresponding to L1 resource configuration information associated with L1 reporting configuration information included in a serving cell of the terminal.

[0334] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the second L3 measurement configuration information does not include the frequency point in the L1 resource configuration information, the first L3 measurement configuration information is sent.

[0335] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0336] Sending a first control signaling, where the first control signaling is used to instruct the terminal to perform L3 measurement based on a first measurement period, where the first measurement period is greater than the second measurement period, where the second measurement period is the original measurement period corresponding to the second L3 measurement configuration information, where the first measurement period is a period configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol or determined based on the UE implementation, and where the second L3 measurement configuration information includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration associated with the measurement object.

[0337] The method executed by the above-mentioned network-side device is a method corresponding to the method executed on the terminal side. The specific interaction process between the two has been described in detail in the embodiment of the terminal side and will not be repeated here.

[0338] In an embodiment of the present application, a network-side device obtains a first L1 measurement report, where the first L1 measurement report includes first content, where the first content is used to indicate an invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report. The network-side device can learn of the invalid L1 measurement result in the first L1 measurement report through the first content, and can then determine the L1 measurement results in the first L1 measurement report other than the invalid L1 measurement result as valid L1 measurement results, thereby ensuring consistency in the understanding of the L1 measurement result between the network-side and the terminal.

[0339] The embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing an L1 measurement result, which is executed by a terminal, as shown in FIG4 , and includes:

[0340] Step 401: Send a second L1 measurement report;

[0341] The second L1 measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0342] The first item: indicates whether the cell associated with the L1 reporting configuration has valid L1 measurement results;

[0343] The second item: the L1 measurement result of the reference signal included in the cell with a valid L1 measurement result, which can be RSRP;

[0344] Item 3: The number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell associated with the L1 reporting configuration or indication information of whether the reference signal associated with the cell has a valid L1 measurement result.

[0345] For the first item above, for example, one reporting opportunity is associated with neighboring cells #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8. If the UE has L1 measurement results for neighboring cells #1, #3, and #6, the UE reports "10100100", where "1" indicates that the neighboring cell at its location has a valid L1 measurement result, and "0" indicates that the neighboring cell at its location does not have a valid L1 measurement result.

[0346] For the second item above: the number of RS measurement results of each cell reported by the UE is configured by the NW or agreed upon by the protocol or reported by the UE, and is used to indicate the number of available RS measurement results for each cell, or the minimum number of valid RS measurement results for each cell to be reported by the UE; the UE reports the measurement results of the said number of RSs for each cell.

[0347] For the third item above, one implementation method is: the number of valid L1 measurement results of the RS of each cell reported by the UE is the same. For example, if neighboring cell #1 has 4 RS measurement results, neighboring cell #3 has 5 RS measurement results, and neighboring cell #4 has 6 RS measurement results, the UE reports 4. Another implementation method is that the UE reports the number of valid RS measurement results of each cell. For example, if neighboring cell #1 has 4 RS measurement results, neighboring cell #3 has 5 RS measurement results, and neighboring cell #4 has 6 RS measurement results, the UE reports "4, 5, 6". Or, assuming that each cell contains 5 RSs, and assuming that RS #1, 2, and 5 of cell #1 have valid L1 measurement results, and RS #3 and 4 do not have valid L1 measurement results, then for cell #1, the UE reports "11001", where "1" indicates that the RS corresponding to its location has a valid L1 measurement result, and "0" indicates that the RS corresponding to its location does not have a valid L1 measurement result.

[0348] Optionally, the terminal sends the second L1 measurement report using uplink control information (UCI) or MAC CE at an L1 reporting opportunity.

[0349] Optionally, as an implementation manner, sending the second L1 measurement report includes: sending the second L1 measurement report when the number of valid L1 measurement results of the reference signal of the cell corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the reporting opportunity is less than or equal to a preset reporting number.

[0350] Optionally, before sending the second L1 measurement report, the method further includes: receiving a second RRC message sent by the network-side device, where the second RRC message differs from the first RRC message in that the L1 reporting configuration does not include L1 reporting content. That is, the length of the L1 reporting content is variable, and the L1 reporting content may only include valid L1 measurement results, thereby effectively saving reporting overhead.

[0351] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the second L1 measurement report, only valid L1 measurement results may be included in the L1 reporting content, thereby effectively saving reporting overhead.

[0352] The embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing an L1 measurement result, which is executed by a terminal, as shown in FIG5 , and includes:

[0353] Step 501: When the L3 measurement result of the serving cell is not lower than the threshold value associated with the serving cell measurement configuration and the neighboring cell is a candidate cell associated with the L1 measurement, perform L3 measurement on the neighboring cell.

[0354] Optionally, the above-mentioned cell is a pre-configured LTM candidate cell, for example, the above-mentioned neighboring cell is a cell other than the serving cell or a cell other than a special cell (Special Cell, SpCell).

[0355] According to the current protocol, if the measurement configuration includes the serving cell measurement configuration (S-MeasureConfig), when the quality of the serving cell is lower than the threshold associated with S-MeasureConfig, the UE can perform L3 measurements based on the MO of the associated non-serving cell. However, when the quality of the serving cell is not lower than the threshold associated with S-MeasureConfig, the terminal does not perform L3 measurements on the non-serving cell.

[0356] Through the solution of the present application, when the L3 measurement result of the serving cell is not lower than the threshold value associated with the serving cell measurement configuration, and the neighboring cell is a candidate cell associated with the L1 measurement, the terminal continues to perform L3 measurement on the neighboring cell, which can ensure that the neighboring cell or candidate cell associated with the L1 measurement is always in a known state, thereby ensuring that the L1 measurement related to the cell can be performed smoothly.

[0357] Optionally, as an implementation manner, the terminal performing L3 measurement on the neighboring cell includes at least one of the following:

[0358] Performing L3 measurement on a neighboring cell based on a first measurement period, where the first measurement period is greater than a second measurement period, the second measurement period is an original measurement period corresponding to second L3 measurement configuration information, the first measurement period is a period configured by the network, agreed upon by a protocol, or determined based on UE implementation, and the second L3 measurement configuration information includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration associated with the measurement object; that is, performing L3 measurement on the neighboring cell at a lower frequency than before a threshold value associated with the serving cell measurement configuration is met (not lower than) the threshold value;

[0359] Measure the L3 measurement frequency of the neighboring cell to ensure that the neighboring cell does not meet the unknown cell condition, that is, the neighboring cell remains a known cell for the UE;

[0360] The threshold value included in the serving cell measurement configuration is ignored. That is, regardless of whether the threshold associated with S-MeasureConfig is met, the UE performs normal L3 measurement on the frequency point associated with the neighboring cell or the neighboring cell.

[0361] Optionally, the second L3 measurement configuration information in this embodiment of the present application also includes measurement interval configuration information.

[0362] Optionally, after the terminal performs L3 measurement on the neighboring cell, the method further includes:

[0363] The L3 measurement result corresponding to the L3 measurement of the neighboring cell is not reported or triggered to be reported.

[0364] Here, the purpose of performing L3 measurement is to make the neighboring cell a known cell to the UE, thereby facilitating subsequent L1 measurement, rather than to perform mobility management based on the L3 measurement results. Therefore, the L3 measurement results corresponding to the L3 measurement of the neighboring cell are not reported or triggered to reduce signaling overhead.

[0365] The embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing an L1 measurement result, which is executed by a terminal, as shown in FIG6 , and includes:

[0366] Step 601: Perform L3 measurement on the cell or frequency associated with the L1 measurement configuration information according to a pre-configured or protocol-agreed period or based on UE implementation;

[0367] Alternatively, L3 measurement is performed according to first L3 measurement configuration information, where the first L3 measurement configuration information is L3 measurement configuration information corresponding to L1 resource configuration information associated with L1 reporting configuration information included in the serving cell of the terminal.

[0368] If the NW side configures L1 measurement of a neighboring cell (such as Cell1), but does not configure the MO or report configuration related to the L1 measurement in the traditional legacy L3 measurement configuration information (i.e., the second L3 measurement configuration information described in this application), the UE will not perform L3 measurement on the cell associated with the L1 measurement configuration (i.e., Cell1), making this neighboring cell always an unknown cell, and thus the UE cannot perform related L1 measurement. The embodiment of the present application additionally configures the above-mentioned first L3 measurement configuration information, and the first L3 measurement configuration information corresponds to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the L1 reporting configuration information contained in the serving cell, that is, the measurement object contained in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the frequency point where the neighboring cell associated with the L1 measurement is located, so that the UE can perform L3 measurement according to the first L3 measurement configuration information, that is, perform L3 measurement on the neighboring cell related to the L1 measurement, thereby ensuring that all neighboring cells associated with the L1 measurement configuration are known cells.

[0369] In the embodiment of the present application, before performing L3 measurement, the method further includes: receiving the above-mentioned first RRC message.

[0370] Optionally, as an implementation manner, when the second L3 measurement configuration information does not include the frequency point in the L1 resource configuration information, the first L3 measurement configuration information configured by the network side device is acquired.

[0371] Optionally, the terminal obtains the first L3 measurement configuration information through an RRC message, where the RRC message is the same as or different from the foregoing first RRC message.

[0372] In an embodiment of the present application, if the terminal does not receive the above-mentioned first L3 measurement configuration information, L3 measurement is performed on the cell or frequency associated with the L1 measurement configuration information according to a pre-configured or protocol-agreed period or based on UE implementation; if the first L3 measurement configuration information is received, L3 measurement is performed according to the first L3 measurement configuration information.

[0373] It should be noted that, if the second L3 measurement configuration information includes the frequency of the L1 resource configuration information, the network side does not need to configure the corresponding first L3 measurement configuration information for the frequency.

[0374] As an implementation manner, the performing L3 measurement according to the first L3 measurement configuration information includes:

[0375] When the frequency points included in the first L3 measurement configuration information overlap with the frequency points included in the second L3 measurement configuration information, and the terminal performs L3 measurement according to the second L3 measurement configuration information, perform L3 measurement according to the frequency points in the first L3 measurement configuration information that do not overlap with the frequency points of the second L3 measurement configuration information, wherein the second L3 measurement configuration information includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration associated with the measurement object.

[0376] The overlap between the frequency points included in the first L3 measurement configuration information and the frequency points included in the second L3 measurement configuration information can be understood as the frequency points included in the first L3 measurement configuration information includes at least one frequency point in the second L3 measurement configuration information.

[0377] Optionally, the first L3 measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0378] Candidate cell identifier;

[0379] Frequency domain information of a reference signal, the frequency domain information including frequency point information, the frequency point information including the frequency point information of the L1 resource configuration information in the first RRC message;

[0380] Time domain information of the reference signal or the L3 measurement period, for example, the period of the reference signal or the measurement interval, is used to indicate how often the terminal performs the L3 measurement;

[0381] The measurement amount is used to indicate a measurement amount of a reference signal measured by the terminal. For example, the measurement amount is used to indicate a measurement amount of RSRP.

[0382] Optionally, the candidate cell identifier included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the cell identifier in the L1 resource configuration information, or the frequency information included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the frequency information in the L1 resource configuration information.

[0383] In an embodiment of the present application, when the candidate cell identifier included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the cell identifier in the L1 resource configuration information, or when the frequency information included in the first L3 measurement configuration information is the same as the frequency information in the L1 resource configuration information, it is determined that the first L3 measurement configuration information is the L3 measurement configuration information corresponding to the L1 resource configuration information associated with the L1 reporting configuration information included in the serving cell of the terminal.

[0384] The embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing an L1 measurement result, which is executed by a terminal, as shown in FIG7 , and includes:

[0385] Step 701: When the measurement object or reporting configuration associated with the target frequency is configured in the second L3 measurement configuration information, L3 measurement is performed according to the first measurement period or based on the first measurement period and the second measurement period, the second measurement period is the original measurement period corresponding to the second L3 measurement configuration information, and the first measurement period is greater than the second measurement period, the first measurement period is a period configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol or determined based on the UE implementation, the second L3 measurement configuration information includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration associated with the measurement object, and the target frequency is the frequency corresponding to the L1 measurement configuration information associated with the serving cell.

[0386] In an embodiment of the present application, if the network side configures a measurement object or reporting configuration associated with the target frequency (i.e., the frequency corresponding to all L1 measurement configuration information associated with the current serving cell) in the legacy L3 measurement configuration information (i.e., the above-mentioned second L3 measurement configuration information) in order to ensure that L1 measurements of all neighboring cells can be performed smoothly, the terminal can perform a relaxed L3 measurement on the cell (i.e., based on the first measurement period or based on the first measurement period and the second measurement period) to perform L3 measurement, so that the cell meets the known cell requirements, thereby enabling the terminal to perform cell switching based on the L1 measurement.

[0387] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal first receives the first RRC message and the RRC message including the second L3 measurement configuration information, and then the terminal performs normal L3 (L3 measurement based on the second measurement period) or relaxed L3 measurement according to the first RRC message and the second L3 measurement configuration information. Optionally, the terminal performs relaxed L3 measurement according to a period configured by the network side or a predefined period or performs relaxed L3 measurement based on UE implementation.

[0388] Optionally, performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement period or based on the first measurement period and the second measurement period includes at least one of the following:

[0389] B1: upon receiving first control signaling, performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement cycle or according to the first measurement cycle and the second measurement cycle, where the first control signaling is used to instruct the terminal to perform L3 measurement based on the first measurement cycle.

[0390] After receiving the first control signaling, L3 measurement is performed according to the first measurement period or according to the first measurement period and the second measurement period, and L3 measurement may be performed on a neighboring cell or a serving cell.

[0391] B2: performing L3 measurement according to the first measurement cycle during the first portion of the third measurement cycle, and performing L3 measurement according to the second measurement cycle during the second portion of the third measurement cycle.

[0392] The duration of the third measurement period is greater than the target duration, where the target duration is the sum of the duration corresponding to the first measurement period and the duration corresponding to the second measurement period. Optionally, the first portion duration and the second portion duration are predefined by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0393] Exemplarily, if the measurement time period of the measurement object includes a first time period within the above-mentioned first part of the duration and a second time period within the above-mentioned second part of the duration, the terminal performs L3 measurement for the measurement object according to the first measurement cycle within the first time period, and performs L3 measurement based on the second measurement cycle within the second time period.
