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

[0044] The core network device may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: core network node, core network function, mobility management entity (MME), access mobility management function (AMF), session management function (SMF), user plane function (UPF), policy control function (PCF), policy and charging rules function unit (PCRF), edge application server discovery function (EASDF), unified data management (UDM), unified data storage (UDR), home user server (HSS), centralized network configuration (CNC), network storage function (NRF), network exposure function (NEF), local NEF (L-NEF), binding support function (BNSF), network access function (UE ... Function, BSF), application function (Application Function, AF), etc. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the core network device in the NR system is introduced as an example, and the specific type of the core network device is not limited.

[0045] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the following contents are first introduced:

[0046] Phased array antennas achieve spatial filtering through phase compensation. One of their fundamental assumptions is that the received or transmitted signal is a subband, meaning that the bandwidth / carrier frequency ratio is significantly less than 1. When this assumption is violated, beam squint occurs. Beam squint occurs when the beams on either side of the bandwidth deviate from the beam corresponding to the center frequency, as shown in Figure 1b.

[0047] The beam squint angle, that is, the angle difference between beam#1 and beam#2, can be expressed as

[0048] where f c is the center carrier frequency, f2 is the operating carrier frequency, and θ1 is the beam pointing angle of the center carrier frequency. According to the above formula, the beam squint angle is related to the carrier frequency difference and the beam pointing angle of the center carrier frequency.

[0049] Beam measurement and reporting

[0050] Analog beamforming uses full-bandwidth transmission, and each polarization element on each high-frequency antenna array panel can only transmit analog beams in a time-division multiplexed manner. The shaping weights of the analog beams are achieved by adjusting the parameters of devices such as the RF front-end phase shifter.

[0051] Currently, in academia and industry, polling is commonly used to train simulated beamforming vectors. That is, the array elements in each polarization direction of each antenna panel send training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) in sequence at agreed times in a time-division multiplexing manner. After measurement, the terminal feeds back a beam report, which the network side uses to implement simulated beam transmission in the next service transmission using the training signal.

[0052] Beam measurement

[0053] The current standard only supports beam measurement using the Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) or Synchronization Signal Block (SSB). The CSI-RS used for beam measurement only has one or two ports. The SSB is a periodic reference signal, while the CSI-RS used for beam measurement can be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic.

[0054] Beam measurement supports L1 beam measurement of asynchronous, heterogeneous neighboring cells under the mobility enhancement project. Currently, both support only L1-RSRP measurement based on SSB. After performing L1 beam measurement based on the measurement resources configured by the network, the terminal selects some beams for reporting based on the measurement results.

[0055] Beam reporting

[0056] In the current standard, the terminal selects an appropriate beam for reporting based on the full-bandwidth beam measurement results. The measurement quantity of the full-bandwidth beam measurement can be L1-Reference Signal Receiving Power (L1-RSRP) / L1-Reference Signal Received Quality (L1-RSRQ) / L1 Signal Interference Noise Ratio (L1-SINR), and the beam reporting methods include group-based and non-group-based. For non-group-based beam reporting, based on the measurement quantity, the terminal selects up to 4 beams from all measurement resources configured on the network side for reporting. For group-based beam reporting, the terminal selects a pair of beams that can be simultaneously received by the UE for reporting based on the measurement results. Among them, the reported content includes the measurement resource index and its corresponding measurement value. The measurement resource index CRI / SSBRI is the index of the measurement resource in its corresponding measurement resource set (NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet or CSI-SSB-ResourceSet).

[0057] In the multi-transmission receiving node project, the group-based beam reporting method has been enhanced. The terminal can select up to 4 pairs of beams that the UE can receive simultaneously from the measurement resources configured by the network for reporting, and different beams in each pair of simultaneously received beams correspond to different transmission receiving nodes, thereby ensuring that the network can send the pair of beams simultaneously.

[0058] The L1 / L2-Triggered Mobility (LTM) project introduced L1 reporting for handovers, namely ltm-CSI-ReportConfig. In a single L1 report for handovers, a terminal can report up to four cells, with each cell reporting four beam measurement results, for a maximum of 16 beams and their corresponding measurement results.

[0059] In 6G systems, beam squint will become more serious as bandwidth increases. Current standards only support wideband beam reporting, which presents the following issues:

[0060] The base station cannot effectively provide feedback on the optimal beams corresponding to different carrier frequencies. As a result, the beam used by the base station for subband scheduling may not be the optimal beam, degrading transmission performance.

[0061] The base station cannot obtain the characteristics of the beam squint on the UE side, resulting in the selected beam pair being suboptimal.

[0062] This application proposes a measurement information reporting method.

[0063] The measurement information reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to some embodiments and application scenarios with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for reporting measurement information. The method is performed by a terminal and includes:

[0065] Step 201: The terminal sends target information to the network side device;

[0066] The target information includes at least one of the following:

[0067] (1) Target measurement resource index;

[0068] The target measurement resource index may include at least one of an absolute index and a differential index; specifically, it may be expressed as resource hop id / Resource Id / Resource Set id / Resource Setting id. The absolute index refers to the resource index of the target measurement resource in the measurement resource set, measurement resource configuration, BWP, or cell to which it belongs. The differential index refers to the offset value between the absolute index of the target measurement resource and the absolute index of the reference measurement resource, where the reference measurement resource is determined by the terminal, or indicated by the network configuration, or specified by the protocol.

[0069] (2) Target measurement value, which includes at least one of a subband measurement value and a wideband measurement value; the specific measurement value may be L1-RSRP / L1-SINR / L1-RSRQ; wherein, the subband measurement value refers to the measurement value of at least part of the frequency domain resources corresponding to the target measurement resource, and the wideband measurement value refers to the measurement value of all frequency domain resources corresponding to the target measurement resource.

[0070] (3) The terminal's antenna characteristic information, including but not limited to the number of antenna ports, the number of antenna elements, the inclination of the antenna panel, the angle of the terminal's first receiving beam, and the angle of the terminal's first transmitting beam;

[0071] The terminal reports the number of antenna ports, the number of antenna elements, and the angle of the terminal's receive or transmit beam to the network. The network can take actions based on the above characteristics to reduce the impact of beam squint (if any) on the terminal side.

[0072] In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal sends target information to the network device. This target information includes at least one of the following: a target measurement resource index, including at least one of an absolute index and a differential index; a target measurement value, including at least one of a subband measurement value and a wideband measurement value; and the terminal's antenna characteristics. This effectively provides feedback to the network on the optimal beam and beam squint characteristics based on wideband and narrowband beam measurements and terminal characteristics reporting to address beam squint in high-frequency, high-bandwidth scenarios. This improves the flexibility and accuracy of beam selection during subsequent network scheduling.

[0073] In a possible implementation, before the terminal sends the target information to the network-side device, the method further includes:

[0074] The terminal determines target information through the first measurement according to the first measurement resource configuration information.

[0075] In a possible implementation manner, the first measurement resource configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0076] (1) Information about one or more first measurement resources, where the first measurement resource is a wideband measurement resource, and the transmission beams of the multiple first measurement resources are the same or different; this may correspond to the legacy or Rx hopping scheme of the wideband CSI-RS. The transmission beams of the multiple first measurement resources are different, or the transmission beams of the multiple first measurement resources with an associated relationship are the same, that is, when the network configures multiple first measurement resources, the transmission beams of the first measurement resources are different, or the transmission beams of the multiple first measurement resources with an associated relationship are the same, for example, when the configured measurement resource is a wideband RS, the measurement configuration or reporting configuration instructs the terminal to perform subband Rx hopping measurement, wherein the subband Rx hopping-related configuration (such as the number M of subband Rx hopping and the subband bandwidth, etc.) is configured or indicated by the network; optionally, the wideband RS resources are divided into resource sets or subsets in units of M, and the transmission beams of the RS resources in the same set or subset are the same. Furthermore, the RS resources in the same set or subset are continuous in the time domain.

[0077] (2) Information on one or more second measurement resources, where the second measurement resources are composed of multiple sub-band measurement resources with an associated relationship, and the transmission beams of the multiple sub-band measurement resources with an associated relationship are the same or different; this may correspond to a scheme where CSI-RS is hopping within one resource. The association relationship may be configured or indicated by the network, or specified by the protocol, or determined by the terminal according to a default rule. The transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in each second measurement resource are the same, and the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in different second measurement resources are different. For example, three second measurement resources A, B, and C are configured, and the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in A are all the first beams, the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in B are all the second beams, and the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in C are all the third beams;

[0078] Alternatively, the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in each second measurement resource are different, and the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in different second measurement resources are the same. For example, three second measurement resources A, B, and C are configured, and the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in A are the first beam, the second beam, and the third beam, respectively; the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in B are the first beam, the second beam, and the third beam, respectively; and the transmission beams of the sub-band measurement resources in C are the first beam, the second beam, and the third beam, respectively.

[0079] (3) Information about one or more third measurement resource sets, where the measurement resources in the third measurement resource set are subband measurement resources, and the transmission beams of the measurement resources in the third measurement resource set are the same or different. This can correspond to a scheme where CSI-RS performs hopping within a resource set. The transmission beams of the measurement resources in each of the three measurement resource sets are the same, and the transmission beams of the measurement resources in different three measurement resource sets are different. For example, three measurement resource sets A, B, and C are configured, the transmission beams of the measurement resources in A are all the first beams, the transmission beams of the measurement resources in B are all the second beams, and the transmission beams of the measurement resources in C are all the third beams;

[0080] Alternatively, the transmission beams of the measurement resources in each three-measurement resource set are different, and the transmission beams of the measurement resources in different three-measurement resource sets are the same. For example, three three-measurement resource sets A, B, and C are configured, and the transmission beams of the measurement resources in A are the first beam, the second beam, and the third beam, respectively; the transmission beams of the measurement resources in B are the first beam, the second beam, and the third beam, respectively; and the transmission beams of the measurement resources in C are the first beam, the second beam, and the third beam, respectively.

[0081] It should be noted that the different beams mentioned above may specifically be different beam angles, and the “multiple” described throughout this application refers to situations including two and more than two.

[0082] Specifically, the transmission beam, beam, beam angle, etc. can be expressed through transmission configuration indication state (TCI state), quasi-co-location assumption, spatial relationship, transmission configuration indication uplink state (TCI-UL-State), etc.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the first measurement includes at least one of the following:

[0084] (1) The terminal determines, based on information about the first measurement resource, at least one of a wideband measurement value and N1 subband measurement values ​​of the first measurement resource, where N1 is greater than or equal to 1;

[0085] (2) The terminal determines, based on the information of the second measurement resource, at least one of the wideband measurement value of the second measurement resource and the subband measurement values ​​corresponding to N2 subband measurement resources, where N2 is greater than or equal to 1;

[0086] (3) The terminal determines, based on information about the third measurement resource set, at least one of a measurement value of a wideband measurement resource corresponding to the third measurement resource set and subband measurement values ​​corresponding to N3 subband measurement resources, where N3 is greater than or equal to 1;

[0087] The values ​​of N1, N2, and N3 can be configured or indicated by the network, or determined by the terminal itself. Furthermore, when the values ​​of N1, N2, and N3 are determined by the terminal, the terminal must notify the network of the values ​​of N1, N2, and N3. Specifically, the values ​​of N1, N2, and N3 can be reported as target information or as separate information.

[0088] In a possible implementation manner, the terminal determines the operation behavior of the first measurement in at least one of the following ways:

[0089] (a) Network configuration or instructions;

[0090] (b) Agreement;

[0091] (c) Determined by the terminal.

[0092] That is, the specific use of the operational behaviors (1) to (3) included in the first measurement may be configured or indicated by the network, agreed upon according to the protocol default rules, or determined by the terminal. Specifically, in the first measurement operational behavior, the terminal may obtain only the broadband measurement value, only the subband measurement value, or both. The operational behavior may be configured or indicated by the network, agreed upon according to the protocol default rules, or determined by the terminal.

[0093] In one possible implementation, determining target information through the first measurement includes:

[0094] After performing the first measurement, the terminal determines target information according to the first rule;

[0095] The first rule includes at least one of the following:

[0096] (1) The terminal determines that the target measurement value is a wideband measurement value, selects one or more target measurement resources according to the wideband measurement result, and determines that the target measurement resource index is a first measurement resource index, a second measurement resource index, or a third measurement resource set index according to the target measurement resources;

[0097] Among them, if the target measurement resource is the first measurement resource, the target measurement resource index is the first measurement resource index, if the target measurement resource is the second measurement resource, the target measurement resource index is the second measurement resource index, if the target measurement resource is the third measurement resource, the target measurement resource index is the third measurement resource set index.

[0098] (2) The terminal determines that the target measurement value is a subband measurement value, selects one or more target measurement resources according to the subband measurement result, and determines the target measurement resource index according to the second rule;

[0099] (3) The terminal determines that the target measurement value includes a wideband measurement value and a subband measurement value, and selects one or more target measurement resources based on the wideband measurement result or the subband measurement result. The target measurement value in the target information includes, in addition to the wideband measurement value of the target measurement resource, N4 subband measurement values ​​corresponding to the target measurement resource; the target information includes at least one target resource index, which may be at least one of the first measurement resource index, the second measurement resource index, the third measurement resource set index, and the third measurement resource index. N4 is greater than or equal to 1;

[0100] In a possible implementation, the first rule is configured or indicated by the network, or is agreed upon according to a default rule of a protocol, or is determined by the terminal.

[0101] That is, the specific one or combination of (1) to (3) included in the first rule may be configured or indicated by the network, agreed upon according to the protocol default rules, or determined by the terminal.

[0102] In a possible implementation, when the first rule is that the terminal determines that the target measurement value is a wideband measurement value, selects one or more target measurement resources based on the wideband measurement result, and determines that the target measurement resource index is the first measurement resource index, the second measurement resource index, or the third measurement resource set index based on the target measurement resources, the first rule further includes:

[0103] When the target measurement resource satisfies the first condition, the terminal determines that the target measurement value also includes a measurement value corresponding to the fourth measurement resource, and the target measurement resource index also includes a resource index corresponding to the fourth measurement resource;

[0104] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0105] (1) The target measurement resource is associated with the fifth measurement resource set;

[0106] (2) configuring the first higher layer parameter in the configuration information of the target measurement resource;

[0107] (3) The first high-level parameter is configured in the configuration information of the target measurement resource and the first high-level parameter is set to be enabled;

[0108] (4) The bitmap corresponding to the target measurement resource is a preset value, and the sequence length of the bitmap is the number of measurement resources in the measurement resource set to which the target measurement resource belongs. The preset value may be 1 or 0. In one possible implementation, the fourth measurement resource is a measurement resource having a first spatial relationship with the target measurement resource, and the first spatial relationship satisfies at least one of the following:

[0109] (1) The measurement resource indexes are adjacent; for example, NZP CSI-RS resource #3 has an adjacent spatial relationship with NZP CSI-RS resource #2 and NZP CSI-RS resource #4;

[0110] (2) Having a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) relationship; if the QCL source RS of NZP CSI-RS resource #3 is NZP CSI-RS resource #5, then the fourth measurement resource is NZP CSI-RS resource #5;

[0111] (3) Configured by the network. For example, if the network configures NZP CSI-RS resource#3 to correspond to the fourth measurement resource, NZP CSI-RS resource#2 and NZP CSI-RS resource#4

[0112] The network is configured with multiple measurement resources, and different measurement resources can correspond to different beam emission angles. The terminal performs broadband beam measurement and reporting. If the beam emission angle of the measurement resource corresponding to the first measurement result causes the edge bandwidth beam to shift, the terminal reports the measurement resource corresponding to the first measurement result and the measurement resource corresponding to its adjacent beam (i.e., the fourth measurement resource mentioned above); otherwise, the terminal only reports the measurement resource corresponding to the first measurement result, so as to report the beam squint phenomenon to the network side and minimize the reporting overhead.

[0113] In one possible implementation, determining target information through the first measurement includes:

[0114] When the number of target measurement resource indexes or the number of target measurement values ​​determined through the first measurement is greater than 1, the terminal determines the target information according to the third rule;

[0115] The third rule includes at least one of the following:

[0116] (1) Except for the target measurement resource index corresponding to the first target measurement resource, which is used as the resource index corresponding to the first target measurement resource, the target measurement resource indexes of the remaining target measurement resources are determined by differential means. Specifically, the differential means can be understood as follows: the target measurement resource indexes of the remaining target measurement resources are offset values ​​between the absolute index of the target measurement resource and the absolute index of the first target measurement resource.

[0117] (2) Except for the target measurement value corresponding to the first target measurement resource, which is used as the measurement value corresponding to the first target measurement resource, the target measurement values ​​of the remaining target measurement resources are determined by differential means. Specifically, the differential means can be understood as follows: the target measurement values ​​of the remaining target measurement resources are offset values ​​between the measurement value of the target measurement resource and the measurement value of the first target measurement resource.

[0118] (3) When there are multiple target measurement resource indexes with the same index in the target information, only one target measurement resource index among the multiple target measurement resource indexes and the target measurement value corresponding to the target measurement resource are reported.

[0119] It can be understood that if the number of target measurement resource indexes or the number of target measurement values ​​determined through the first measurement is not greater than 1, the target information is determined based on the first measurement.

[0120] The network configures multiple measurement resources, and the terminal performs sub-band beam measurement and reporting. That is, the optimal beam is selected per sub-band and CRI differential reporting is used to reduce reporting overhead.

[0121] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0122] The terminal determines the first target measurement resource in at least one of the following ways:

[0123] (1) The target measurement value is the highest;

[0124] (2) The index is the smallest or largest among all target measurement resources;

[0125] (3) Configured or instructed by the network.

[0126] The technical solution of this application is described below in conjunction with specific application examples:

[0127] Example 1: Beam measurement and reporting based on wideband RS;

[0128] See Figure 3a:

[0129] Step-1: The terminal receives configuration information from the network side, including but not limited to reporting configuration information and measurement configuration information. The measurement resource configured in the measurement configuration is a broadband RS, and the beams of different RSs can be different or the same;

[0130] Step-2: When the measurement configuration indicates that the measurement quantity is a wideband measurement quantity, or the reporting configuration indicates that the reported measurement quantity is a wideband measurement quantity, execute step-3a; when the measurement configuration indicates that the measurement quantity is a subband measurement quantity, or the reporting configuration indicates that the reported measurement quantity is a subband measurement quantity, execute step-3b; when the measurement configuration indicates that the measurement quantity is a wideband and subband measurement quantity, or the reporting configuration indicates that the reported measurement quantity is a wideband and subband measurement quantity, execute step-3c;

[0131] Step-3a:

[0132] The terminal performs measurements in units of RS bandwidth to obtain a broadband measurement value;

[0133] The terminal selects N (N ≥ 1) first RSs for reporting based on the broadband measurement value. When at least one of the N first RSs satisfies the first condition (as described above), for each first RS that meets the condition, the terminal further selects n (n ≥ 1) fourth RSs (i.e., fourth measurement resources, as described above) for reporting. The values ​​of N and n are configured or indicated by the network, or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0134] The N first RSs are the N RSs with the largest broadband measurement values;

[0135] The above information can be divided into two parts for transmission, wherein the resource indexes and measurement values ​​of the N first RSs can be placed in the first part, and the resource indexes and / or measurement values ​​of the n fourth RSs corresponding to the first RS that meets the first condition among the N first RSs can be placed in the second part; the bit length of the second part can be determined according to the first part, and the priority of the first part is higher than that of the second part;

[0136] When the value of N+n is greater than 1, the terminal performs differential reporting of the measurement resource index and the measurement value;

[0137] Step-3b:

[0138] The terminal performs measurements in units of subbands of the RS bandwidth to obtain subband measurement quantities; the subband-related configuration (such as the number of subbands within the RS bandwidth and the subband bandwidth, etc.) is configured or indicated by the network;

[0139] The terminal selects N (N ≥ 1) largest subband measurement values ​​and their corresponding RS indexes for reporting based on the subband measurement values, where the value of N is configured or indicated by the network or agreed upon by the protocol; or selects n (n ≥ 1) second RSs with the largest measurement values ​​in the subband and their corresponding RS indexes for reporting on each subband; the values ​​of N and n are configured or indicated by the network or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0140] When the value of N is greater than 1 or the value of (number of subbands*n) is greater than 1, the terminal performs differential reporting of measurement resource indexes and differential reporting of measurement values, and / or the terminal only selects different measurement resource indexes and their measurement values;

[0141] Step-3c:

[0142] The terminal performs measurements in units of RS bandwidth and subband of RS bandwidth. One RS occasion can obtain one broadband measurement value and multiple subband measurement values. The subband-related configuration (such as the number of subbands within the RS bandwidth and the subband bandwidth, etc.) is configured or indicated by the network.

[0143] The terminal selects N (N ≥ 1) first RSs for reporting based on the broadband measurement value. When at least one of the N first RSs meets the first condition, for each first RS that meets the condition, the terminal further selects n (n ≥ 1) fourth RSs for reporting. The values ​​of N and n are configured or indicated by the network, or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0144] The N first RSs are the N RSs with the largest broadband measurement values;

[0145] The above information can be divided into two parts for transmission, wherein the resource indexes and measurement values ​​of the N first RSs can be placed in the first part, and the resource indexes and / or measurement values ​​of the n fourth RSs corresponding to the first RS that meets the first condition among the N first RSs can be placed in the second part; the bit length of the second part can be determined according to the first part, and the priority of the first part is higher than that of the second part;

[0146] When the value of N+n is greater than 1, the terminal performs differential reporting of the measurement resource index and the measurement value;

[0147] For the N first RSs, in addition to reporting the wideband measurement value, the subband measurement value is also reported, and the subband measurement value and the wideband measurement value are differentially reported.

[0148] Example 2: Beam measurement and reporting of sub-band RS Rx hopping based on wideband RS;

[0149] See Figure 3b:

[0150] Step-1: The terminal receives configuration information from the network side, including but not limited to reporting configuration information and measurement configuration information. The measurement resource configured in the measurement configuration is a wideband RS. The measurement configuration or reporting configuration instructs the terminal to perform subband Rx hopping measurement, wherein the subband Rx hopping-related configuration (such as the number M of subband Rx hopping and the subband bandwidth, etc.) is configured or indicated by the network; optionally, the wideband RS resources are divided into resource sets or subsets in units of M, and the transmit beams of the RS resources in the same set or subset are the same. Further, the RS resources in the same set or subset are continuous in the time domain.

[0151] Step-2: The terminal measures the sub-band RS RX hopping bandwidth as a unit to obtain the sub-band measurement value; then executes step-3;

[0152] Step-3:

[0153] The terminal selects n (n≥1) second RSs with the largest measurement values ​​in each subband and their corresponding RS indexes for reporting based on the subband measurement values; the value of n is configured or indicated by the network, or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0154] When the value of M*n is greater than 1, the terminal performs measurement resource index differential reporting and measurement value differential reporting, and / or the terminal only selects different measurement resource indexes and their measurement values;

[0155] Example 3: Beam measurement and reporting based on hopping within a RS resource;

[0156] See Figure 3c:

[0157] Step-1: The terminal receives configuration information from the network side, including but not limited to reporting configuration information and measurement configuration information. The measurement resource configured in the measurement configuration is a wideband RS, and the wideband CSI-RS consists of M Tx hops. The subband Tx hopping-related configuration (such as the number M of subband Tx hopping and the subband bandwidth) is configured or indicated by the network; optionally, the transmit beams of different hops of a wideband RS resource are the same, and the transmit beams of different wideband RS resources may be the same or different.

[0158] Step-2: The terminal measures the Tx hop bandwidth to obtain the sub-band measurement value and then executes step-3.

[0159] Step-3:

[0160] The terminal selects n (n≥1) second RSs with the largest measurement values ​​in each subband and their corresponding RS indexes for reporting based on the subband measurement values; the value of n is configured or indicated by the network, or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0161] When the value of M*n is greater than 1, the terminal performs measurement resource index differential reporting and measurement value differential reporting, and / or the terminal only selects different measurement resource indexes and their measurement values;

[0162] Example 4: Beam measurement and reporting based on hopping within a RS resource set;

[0163] See Figure 3d:

[0164] Step-1: The terminal receives configuration information from the network, including but not limited to reporting configuration information and measurement configuration information. The measurement resources configured in the measurement configuration are RSs of the subband. Different RSs in an RS resource set correspond to different frequency domain resources, and the frequency domain resources corresponding to all RS resources in an RS resource set are equal to the broadband bandwidth. The number of RSs in an RS resource set is configured or indicated by the network; optionally, the transmit beams of the RSs in an RS resource set are the same, and the transmit beams of the RSs in different RS resource sets can be the same or different;

[0165] Step-2: The terminal performs measurements using RS bandwidth as a unit to obtain subband measurement values; then executes step-3.

[0166] Step-3:

[0167] The terminal selects n (n≥1) second RSs with the largest measurement values ​​in each subband and their corresponding RS indexes for reporting based on the subband measurement values; the value of n is configured or indicated by the network, or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0168] When the value of M*n is greater than 1, the terminal performs measurement resource index differential reporting and measurement value differential reporting, and / or the terminal only selects different measurement resource indexes and their measurement values;
