[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and more specifically, to a wireless communication method, terminal equipment, and network equipment. Background Art

[0002] The cell handover process is based on a measurement process. In related technologies, network equipment and terminal devices consume significant resources to complete the measurement task. This is because the measurement process is based on the measurement of measurement reference signals. In other words, network equipment uses significant resources to send measurement reference signals, while terminal devices use significant resources to receive and measure the measurement reference signals. Therefore, while this measurement method is feasible, it is not environmentally friendly and efficient.

[0034] It should be understood that all or part of the functions of the communication device in this application can also be implemented through software functions running on hardware, or through virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform).

[0035] Artificial intelligence (AI)

[0036] In recent years, AI research has achieved remarkable results in many fields. In particular, machine learning (ML), a key research area in AI, leverages the nonlinear processing capabilities of neural networks to successfully solve a range of previously intractable problems. AI technology has even demonstrated superior performance to humans in areas such as image recognition, speech processing, natural language processing, and gaming, and has therefore attracted increasing attention.

[0037] Given the tremendous success of AI technology in areas such as computer vision and natural language processing, the communications field is beginning to explore its application in solving technical challenges that are difficult to address with traditional communications methods. For example, AI can be applied in a wide range of areas, including modeling or learning complex and unknown environments, channel prediction, intelligent signal generation and processing, network status tracking and intelligent scheduling, and network optimization and deployment. AI technology is expected to promote the evolution of future communications paradigms and transform network architectures, and is of great significance and value to research on 6G and subsequent technologies.

[0038] Cell switching

[0039] In a mobile communication system, the serving cell of a terminal device may change. For example, the serving cell of a terminal device may change as the terminal device moves. The process of changing the serving cell is called cell handover.

[0040] In order to assist the network equipment to perceive the mobility status of the terminal equipment in a timely manner, the network equipment will configure the measurement object (MO) for the terminal equipment in advance. When the measurement result reporting event associated with the measurement object is met, the terminal device will send the measurement results of one or more cells to the network device. The network device selects one or more neighboring cells to initiate a handover request based on the measurement results reported by the terminal device and the additional information obtained locally (such as the load status of each neighboring cell, etc.). After receiving the acceptance feedback, the current serving cell of the terminal device will forward the handover command generated by the target handover cell to the terminal device (contained in the acceptance feedback information). After the terminal device successfully receives the handover command generated by the target cell, it initiates the connection establishment process to the target cell. Once the connection is successfully established, the entire handover process is completed.

[0041] Some communication systems (such as NR systems) use a beam-based network architecture. Therefore, the measurement results may include beam-level measurement results (referred to as beam measurement results) and cell-level measurement results (referred to as cell measurement results). Depending on the configuration of the network equipment, the terminal device can process the beam measurement results of one or more beams associated with a cell to obtain the cell measurement result of the cell.

[0042] Network devices and terminal devices consume significant resources to complete measurement tasks. This is because measurement results are based on measurements of measurement reference signals. This means that network devices use significant resources to send measurement reference signals, while terminal devices use significant resources to receive and measure these signals. Therefore, while this measurement method is feasible, it is not environmentally friendly or efficient.

[0043] FIG2 is a wireless communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application to solve the above problem. The method shown in FIG2 can be executed by a terminal device and a network device. The method shown in FIG2 can include step S210.

[0044] Step S210: The network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal device.

[0045] The measurement configuration information can be used to configure measurement-related information for a network device. For example, the measurement configuration information can include frequency identification information and configuration information. The frequency identification information can be used to indicate a first frequency. The configuration information can be used to indicate a configuration associated with the first frequency.

[0046] The configuration information may be related to the beam measurement result prediction behavior of the terminal device. For example, the configuration information may be used to control, instruct, or configure the beam measurement result prediction behavior of the terminal device.

[0047] The beam measurement result prediction behavior may include: the terminal device obtaining information related to the beam measurement result through a prediction or inference process. The information related to the beam measurement result may include one or more of the following: the predicted result of the beam measurement result, the cell-level measurement result of the cell associated with the predicted beam measurement result, etc. When a small number of measurement reference signals are sent between the terminal device and the network device, the terminal device may also obtain information related to the beam measurement result through prediction.

[0048] From this, it can be seen that, on the one hand, the present application can save the terminal device's beam measurement process overhead, because the measurement results of some beams can be obtained by the terminal device through the beam measurement result prediction process; on the other hand, the present application can save the network device's measurement reference signal sending overhead, because if the terminal device can perform the beam measurement result prediction process, the network device does not need to actually send the measurement reference signal associated with the predicted beam.

[0049] It should be noted that the measurement result may include one or more of the following: reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR).

[0050] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result prediction behavior can be implemented using a first model. The first model can include, for example, an AI model. The AI ​​model can include, for example, an ML model, a neural network model, or a deep learning model. Based on the AI ​​model, AI technology can be integrated with the beam measurement process, thereby reducing some resource overhead.

[0051] Part or all of the measurement configuration information can be carried in the configuration information of the MO (referred to as the MO measurement configuration). The MO measurement configuration may include any configuration information related to the MO. For example, some parameters in the MO measurement configuration in the related art can be used to carry part or all of the measurement configuration information. For another example, one or more parameters can be added to the MO measurement configuration to carry part or all of the measurement configuration information. Exemplarily, the parameters defined in the related art for indicating the frequency point identifier associated with the MO measurement configuration (referred to as the frequency point identifier information parameter) can be used to indicate the frequency point identifier information in the measurement configuration information proposed in the embodiment of the present application.

[0052] In some embodiments, the configuration information can be used to indicate one or more of the following information: cell list information, beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal, and whether the terminal device is allowed to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point.

[0053] The cell list information can be used to indicate: the cell range in which the terminal device performs the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point. For cells within the cell range, the terminal device can perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior. That is, for cells within the cell range, the terminal device can further obtain the cell-level measurement result of the cell through the beam measurement result obtained in the prediction process. For cells outside the cell range, the terminal device may not perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior. That is, for cells outside the cell range, the terminal device cannot or cannot further obtain the cell-level measurement result of the cell through the beam measurement result obtained by prediction, or the terminal device can only further obtain the cell-level measurement result of the cell through the beam measurement result obtained in the actual measurement process.

[0054] It can be seen from this that based on the cell list information indicated by the network device, the terminal device can determine for which cell or cells the beam measurement result prediction behavior can be performed.

[0055] It should be noted that the cell list information can be indicated by PCI information associated with the cell. In this case, the cell list information can also be called PCI list information.

[0056] The beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal can be used to indicate: the beam range associated with the measurement reference signal for the terminal device to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point. For the beams within the beam range, the terminal device can perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior. That is, for the beams within the beam range, the terminal device can obtain the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam through the prediction process. For beams outside the beam range, the terminal device will not perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior. In other words, for beams outside the beam range, the terminal device cannot or cannot obtain the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam through the prediction process, or the terminal device can only obtain the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam outside the beam range through the actual measurement process.

[0057] The measurement reference signal may include one or more of the following: a synchronization signal block (SSB) and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). When the measurement reference signal includes an SSB, the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal may be referred to as SSB-associated beam identification range information. When the measurement reference signal includes a CSI-RS, the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal may be referred to as CSI-RS-associated beam identification range information.

[0058] It can be seen from this that based on the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal indicated by the network device, the network device can determine for which beam or beams to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior.

[0059] In some embodiments, whether the terminal device is allowed to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point can be separately indicated by a specific parameter. For example, a value of 0 for the specific parameter indicates that the terminal device is not allowed to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point; a value of 1 for the specific parameter indicates that the terminal device is allowed to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point. For another example, the value of 1 for this specific parameter is used to indicate that the terminal device is not allowed to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point; the value of 0 for this specific parameter is used to indicate that the terminal device is allowed to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point. In this implementation method, it can be considered that the indication information of whether the terminal device is allowed to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point is configured according to the frequency point granularity. This implementation method is more flexible in configuration. In other embodiments, the indication information of whether the terminal device is allowed to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior is configured according to the terminal device granularity, that is, all measurement frequencies configured by the network device are associated with the same indication information, and all measurement frequencies configured by the network device either allow the terminal device to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior or do not allow the terminal device to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior. This implementation method is simpler at the implementation level. This application does not limit the configuration granularity of the above indication information.

[0060] In some embodiments, whether the terminal device is allowed to perform a beam measurement result prediction behavior on the first frequency point can be determined by whether the first frequency point is associated with a cell list information and / or a beam identification range information associated with a measurement reference signal. For example, if the first frequency point is associated with a cell list information and / or a beam identification range information associated with a measurement reference signal, the terminal device is allowed to perform a beam measurement result prediction behavior on the first frequency point. For another example, if the first frequency point is not associated with a cell list information and / or a beam identification range information associated with a measurement reference signal, the terminal device is not allowed to perform a beam measurement result prediction behavior on the first frequency point.

[0061] It should be noted that the cell list information associated with the first frequency point may include: the MO-related measurement configuration associated with the first frequency point includes newly defined parameters that carry the cell list information. The beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal associated with the first frequency point may include: the MO-related measurement configuration associated with the first frequency point includes newly defined parameters that carry the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal.

[0062] The following is an example of an indication method of the cell list information and / or the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal.

[0063] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration information may include: information about the first cell and a first parameter associated with the information about the first cell, wherein the first parameter may be used to indicate the cells included in the cell list information.

[0064] Optionally, the PCI of the first cell may be a first PCI. The information of the first cell may include the first PCI. In combination with the first frequency and the first PCI, the terminal device may determine which cell on the first frequency the first cell is.

[0065] The information of the first cell may belong to information of one or more cells related to the measurement configuration information. For example, when the measurement configuration information is carried in an MO measurement configuration, the information of one or more cells may be indicated by a PCI list information parameter included in an MO measurement configuration. In other words, the information of the first cell may be carried in a PCI list information parameter included in an MO measurement configuration.

[0066] The first parameter may be used to indicate whether one or more cells allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior. The one or more cells may include the first cell. The one or more cells may be one or more cells indicated by the PCI list information parameter included in the MO measurement configuration associated with the first frequency point.

[0067] It is understandable that the first cell may be a cell that allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement, or may be a cell that does not allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement. Whether the first cell allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement may be determined based on the first parameter.

[0068] The first parameter may include one or more first indication information. Among them, the one or more first indication information may correspond one-to-one to one or more cells to respectively indicate whether the one or more cells allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior. Exemplarily, the first indication information can be represented by 1 bit. That is, one or more first indication information can be represented by one or more bits. The one or more bits may include a first bit, and the first bit may correspond to the first cell. For example, the value of the first bit is 1, which may indicate that the first cell allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement behavior; and / or, the value of the first bit is 0, which may indicate that the first cell does not allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement behavior. For another example, the value of the first bit is 0, which may indicate that the first cell allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement behavior; and / or, the value of the first bit is 1, which may indicate that the first cell does not allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement behavior.

[0069] The first parameter may be a newly defined parameter. For example, the first parameter may be a newly defined parameter in the MO measurement configuration. Exemplarily, the first parameter may be a first indication information list parameter newly defined in the MO measurement configuration. The first indication information list parameter may include one or more first indication information. Each first indication information included in the first indication information list parameter is associated with a PCI at the same element position in the PCI list information in the related technology configured in the same MO configuration, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether the cell corresponding to the associated PCI allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior. The implementation method is described below through Table 1.

[0070] Table 1

[0071] Table 1 illustrates an example in which the measurement configuration information of the network device configuration includes three MO-related measurement configurations. Each MO-related measurement configuration includes three parameters: the frequency identification information included in the MO measurement configuration, the PCI list information included in the MO measurement configuration (a parameter defined in the relevant technology), and the first indication information list parameter included in the MO measurement configuration (a parameter newly defined in this application). The number of elements contained in the first indication information list parameter included in any MO measurement configuration is the same as the number of elements contained in the PCI list information included in the measurement configuration related to the same MO, and the two are associated one-to-one in the order in which the elements appear, that is: in the measurement configuration related to MO1, the first indication information associated with PCI1 is '1', and the first indication information associated with PCI2 is '0'; in the measurement configuration related to MO2, the first indication information associated with PCI1 is '1', the first indication information associated with PCI4 is '0', the first indication information associated with PCI5 is '1', and the first indication information associated with PCI8 is '0'; in the measurement configuration related to MO3, the first indication information associated with PCI2 is '1', the first indication information associated with PCI3 is '1', and the first indication information associated with PCI4 is '0'. The first indication information value of '1' can indicate that the cell corresponding to the associated PCI allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction, and the first indication information value of '0' can indicate that the cell corresponding to the associated PCI does not allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction.

[0072] It should be noted that the three MOs mentioned in Table 1 are only examples. The MOs actually configured in the network device may be the same as or different from those in Table 1. For example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include some or all of the three MOs in Table 1. For another example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include other MOs than those in Table 1. In addition, an MO measurement configuration may include other parameters in addition to the three parameters shown in Table 1, which is not limited in this application.

[0073] The first parameter may contain fewer bits. As described above, the first indication information contained in the first parameter may be represented by only one bit. Therefore, indicating the cells contained in the cell list information through the first parameter can save air interface configuration overhead.

[0074] In some embodiments, the cells included in the cell list information may be indicated by a second parameter. The second parameter may be used to indicate PCI information associated with one or more cells that allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior.

[0075] Optionally, the second parameter may include one or more PCI information. Any one of the one or more PCI information may be used to indicate that the corresponding cell allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction. Based on this, the second parameter may also be referred to as PCI list information.

[0076] The second parameter may be a newly defined parameter. For example, the second parameter may be PCI list information that may be newly defined in the MO measurement configuration. Table 2 is used as an example below.

[0077] Table 2

[0078] Table 2 takes the measurement configuration information of the network device configuration as an example to illustrate that it contains three MO-related measurement configurations. Among them, each MO-related measurement configuration contains two parameters: the frequency identification information contained in the MO measurement configuration and the PCI list information contained in the MO measurement configuration (a parameter newly introduced in this application). In the MO1-related measurement configuration, PCI1 and PCI2 correspond to cells that allow terminal devices to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior; in the MO2-related measurement configuration, PCI1, PCI4, PCI5 and PCI8 correspond to cells that allow terminal devices to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior; in the MO3-related measurement configuration, PCI2, PCI3 and PCI4 correspond to cells that allow terminal devices to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior.

[0079] It should be noted that the three MOs mentioned in Table 2 are only examples. The MOs actually configured in the network device may be the same as or different from those in Table 2. For example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include some or all of the three MOs in Table 2. For another example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include other MOs not listed in Table 2. In addition, an MO measurement configuration may include other parameters in addition to the two parameters shown in Table 2, which is not limited in this application.

[0080] The second parameter may not be associated with existing parameters in the related art (e.g., PCI list information in the MO measurement configuration). In other words, this solution does not need to consider the definition of the association relationship between the newly introduced parameter and the parameters already defined in the related art. Therefore, this solution is simple to implement and more flexible.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second parameter may include a parameter defined in the relevant technology. That is, the parameters defined in the relevant technology may be reused to indicate PCI information associated with one or more cells for the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior. For example, in the case where the terminal device is allowed to perform beam measurement prediction behavior, the parameters defined in the relevant technology may be used to indicate PCI information associated with one or more cells for the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior; in the case where the terminal device is not allowed to perform beam measurement prediction behavior, the information that the parameters defined in the relevant technology can indicate may be implemented in accordance with the definition of the relevant technology. For another example, in the case where the terminal device is allowed to perform beam measurement prediction behavior for the first frequency point, the parameters related to the first frequency point defined in the relevant technology may be used to indicate PCI information associated with one or more cells for the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior; in the case where the terminal device is not allowed to perform beam measurement prediction behavior for the first frequency point, the information that the parameters related to the first frequency point defined in the relevant technology can indicate may be implemented in accordance with the definition of the relevant technology.

[0082] Optionally, the second parameter may include one or more of the following parameters: a list of cells to be added (cellsToAddModList), a list of blacklisted cells to be added (blackCellsToAddModList), and a list of whitelisted cells to be added (whiteCellsToAddModList). Taking cellsToAddModList as an example, if an MO measurement configuration configured by the network device contains the cellsToAddModList parameter, the terminal device considers that the cell range for performing beam measurement result prediction behavior on the frequency point associated with the MO measurement configuration is the cell range indicated by the cellsToAddModList parameter. The behavior of the terminal device that contains the parameter whiteCellsToAddModList in an MO-related measurement configuration configured by the network device is similar to the behavior of the parameter cellsToAddModList in the above-mentioned MO-related measurement configuration, and will not be repeated here.

[0083] It should be noted that if the first frequency point is not associated with the cell list information proposed in this application (such as the first parameter and the second parameter are not included in the MO-related measurement configuration), the terminal device may consider that: the cell range for performing the beam measurement result prediction behavior on the first frequency point is the cell corresponding to any PCI that the terminal device can search for on the first frequency point (of course, if the network device is configured with parameters such as cellsToAddModList associated with related technologies, the cell range for performing the beam measurement result prediction behavior on the first frequency point should also be subject to the parameters associated with the related technologies); or, the network device does not allow the terminal device to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior on any cell on the first frequency point.

[0084] In some embodiments, the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal may be indicated by a third parameter. The third parameter may be used to indicate one or more beam identifiers associated with the measurement reference signal that allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point.

[0085] It is understandable that the third parameter can be associated with the first frequency point. Therefore, the beam identifier associated with the reference signal configured by the third parameter is based on the frequency point granularity. That is, the predicted range of the beam for which the terminal device performs the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point can be given by the third parameter. Compared with other smaller granularity indications (such as PCI granularity), configuration based on frequency point granularity can save more configuration overhead.

[0086] The third parameter may be a newly defined parameter. For example, the third parameter may be a newly defined parameter in the MO measurement configuration. Taking the measurement reference signal including the SSB as an example, the third parameter may be a newly defined SSB beam range information parameter in the MO measurement configuration. The newly defined SSB beam range information parameter may be referred to as an SSB prediction (ssb-ToPredict) parameter or an SSB inference (ssb-ToInfer) parameter. The SSB beam range information parameter is illustrated below using Table 3.

[0087] Table 3

[0088] Table 3 takes the measurement configuration information configured by the network device as an example to illustrate that it contains three MO-related measurement configurations. Among them, each MO-related measurement configuration contains 2 parameters: the frequency identification information contained in the MO measurement configuration and the SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration (a new parameter defined in this application). Under this implementation method, the SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration is directly associated with the frequency identification information contained in the MO measurement configuration, that is, the SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration is configured according to the frequency granularity. The SSB prediction range of the beam measurement result prediction behavior performed by the terminal device on the frequency associated with the MO configuration is given by the SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration.

[0089] It should be noted that the three MOs mentioned in Table 3 are only examples. The MOs actually configured in the network device may be the same as or different from those in Table 3. For example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include some or all of the three MOs in Table 3. For another example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include other MOs not listed in Table 3. In addition, an MO measurement configuration may include other parameters in addition to the two parameters shown in Table 3, which is not limited in this application.

[0090] In some embodiments, the third parameter may include a parameter defined in the relevant art. For example, the third parameter may include an SSB measurement (ssb-ToMeasure) parameter. That is, the range of the measurement reference signal for the terminal device to perform the beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point may be determined by the ssb-ToMeasure parameter.

[0091] Exemplarily, if the SSB beam set indicated by the ssb-ToMeasure parameter configured by the network device is A, and the SSB beam set for which the terminal device can obtain valid measurement results through actual measurement at the frequency point associated with the ssb-ToMeasure parameter is B, then at this frequency point, the SSB prediction range for which the terminal device can perform beam measurement result prediction behavior can be equal to the difference between the above-mentioned SSB beam set A and the above-mentioned SSB beam set B. For example: SSB beam set A indicates SSB beam 1, SSB beam 2, SSB beam 3, SSB beam 4, SSB beam 5, SSB beam 6, SSB beam 7, and SSB beam 8, and the SSB beam set B that the terminal device can obtain valid measurement results at the first frequency point through actual measurement includes SSB beam 1, SSB beam 3, SSB beam 5, and SSB beam 7. Then, at the first frequency point, the SSB prediction range of the terminal device performing the beam measurement result prediction behavior can include SSB beam 2, SSB beam 4, SSB beam 6, and SSB beam 8.

[0092] In the case where the configuration information is used to indicate the cell list information and the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal, the configuration information can be indicated by the first parameter and the third parameter, or the configuration parameter can be indicated by the second parameter and the third parameter.

[0093] For example, when the first parameter or the second parameter is included in the MO measurement configuration, if the MO measurement configuration does not include the newly defined SSB beam range parameter, the terminal device can determine the cell that allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior based on the first parameter or the second parameter, and determine the SSB beam prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior at the frequency point associated with the MO measurement configuration based on the ssb-ToMeasure parameter.

[0094] For another example, when the MO measurement configuration does not include a newly defined first indication information list parameter and a newly defined PCI list information parameter, and the MO measurement configuration includes a newly defined third parameter, the terminal device can determine the cell range for performing the beam measurement result prediction behavior on the frequency point associated with the SSB beam range information based on other parameters configured by the network device (such as parameters defined in the relevant technology) and the third parameter. If the above-mentioned other parameters do not exist, the terminal device may consider that the cell range for performing the beam measurement result prediction behavior on the first frequency point is the cell corresponding to any PCI that the terminal device can search for on the first frequency point. Among them, the other parameters may include one or more of the following: cellsToAddModList, blackCellsToAddModList, whiteCellsToAddModList. Exemplarily, if an MO-related measurement configuration configured by the network device includes both the SSB beam range information parameter and the cellsToAddModList parameter newly defined in this application, the terminal device may consider that the cell range for performing the beam measurement result prediction behavior on the frequency point associated with the MO-related measurement configuration is the cell range indicated by the cellsToAddModList parameter; if an MO-related measurement configuration configured by the network device includes the SSB beam range information (a new parameter introduced in this application) but the parameter cellsToAddModList does not appear or is not configured in the MO-related measurement configuration, the terminal device considers that the cell range for performing the beam measurement result prediction behavior on the frequency point associated with the MO-related measurement configuration is the cell corresponding to any PCI that the terminal device can search for on the frequency point. The behavior of the terminal device with or without the parameter whiteCellsToAddModList in an MO-related measurement configuration configured by the network device is similar to the behavior with or without the parameter cellsToAddModList in the above-mentioned MO-related measurement configuration, and will not be repeated here.

[0095] For another example, the technical solution in which the configuration information is indicated by the first parameter and the third parameter may include: the MO measurement configuration includes: a newly defined first indication information list parameter and a newly defined SSB beam range information parameter. Among them, the first indication information list parameter may include one or more first indication information. Each first indication information contained in the first indication information list parameter is associated with a PCI at the same element position in the PCI list information in the related technology configured in the same MO configuration, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether the cell corresponding to the associated PCI allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior. The SSB beam range information parameter can be used to indicate the SSB prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior on the frequency point associated with the MO configuration. The technical solution is illustrated below through Table 4.

[0096] Table 4

[0097] In Table 4, the measurement configuration information configured by the network device includes three MO-related measurement configurations as an example for explanation. Among them, each MO-related measurement configuration includes four parameters: the frequency identification information included in the MO measurement configuration, the PCI list information included in the MO measurement configuration (parameters defined in the relevant technology), the first indication information list parameter included in the MO measurement configuration (a newly defined parameter in this application), and the SSB beam range information included in the MO measurement configuration (a newly defined parameter in this application). The SSB beam range information included in the MO measurement configuration is directly associated with the frequency identification information included in the MO measurement configuration, that is, the SSB beam range information included in the MO measurement configuration is configured according to the frequency granularity, and the number of elements contained in the first indication information list parameter included in any MO measurement configuration is the same as the number of elements contained in the PCI list information included in the same MO-related measurement configuration, and the two are associated one-to-one in the order in which the elements appear. As shown in Table 4, in the MO1-related measurement configuration, the first indication information associated with PCI1 is '1', and the first indication information associated with PCI2 is '0'; in the MO2-related measurement configuration, the first indication information associated with PCI1 is '1', the first indication information associated with PCI4 is '0', the first indication information associated with PCI5 is '1', and the first indication information associated with PCI8 is '0'; in the MO3-related measurement configuration, the first indication information associated with PCI2 is '1', the first indication information associated with PCI3 is '1', and the first indication information associated with PCI4 is '0'. A first indication information value of '1' indicates that the cell corresponding to the associated PCI allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction, and a first indication information value of '0' indicates that the cell corresponding to the associated PCI does not allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction. Furthermore, the SSB prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction on the frequency associated with the MO configuration is given by the SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration.

[0098] It should be noted that the three MOs mentioned in Table 4 are only examples. The MOs actually configured in the network device may be the same as or different from those in Table 4. For example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include some or all of the three MOs in Table 4. For another example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include other MOs not listed in Table 4. In addition, an MO measurement configuration may include other parameters in addition to the four parameters shown in Table 4, which is not limited in this application.

[0099] The technical solution of indicating measurement configuration information through first and third parameters reduces air interface configuration overhead compared to defining a second parameter (e.g., a new PCI list parameter). This is because the number of bits occupied by a single first indication in the first parameter is smaller than the number of bits occupied by a single PCI. Furthermore, the measurement reference signal range information is configured at a frequency granularity, which also reduces configuration overhead compared to configuring at a PCI granularity.

[0100] For another example, the technical solution in which the configuration information is indicated by the second parameter and the third parameter may include: the MO measurement configuration includes a newly defined PCI list parameter and a newly defined SSB beam range information parameter. Among them, the newly defined PCI list information parameter may include one or more PCI information. Any one of the PCI information contained in the PCI list information parameter can be used to indicate that the corresponding cell allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior. The SSB beam range information is used to indicate the SSB prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior on the frequency point associated with the MO configuration. The technical solution is illustrated below with the help of Table 5.

[0101] Table 5

[0102] In Table 5, the measurement configuration information configured by the network device includes three MO-related measurement configurations as an example for explanation, wherein each MO-related measurement configuration includes three parameters: the frequency identification information included in the MO measurement configuration, the PCI list information included in the MO measurement configuration (a parameter newly defined in this application), and the SSB beam range information included in the MO measurement configuration (a parameter newly defined in this application). The SSB beam range information included in the MO measurement configuration can be directly associated with the frequency identification information included in the MO measurement configuration. That is, the SSB beam range information included in the MO measurement configuration is configured according to the frequency granularity. In the MO1-related measurement configuration, the cells corresponding to PCI1 and PCI2 allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior, and the SSB prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior on the frequency point is given by the SSB beam range information included in the MO1 measurement configuration. In the MO2-related measurement configuration, the cells corresponding to PCI1, PCI4, PCI5, and PCI8 allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior, and the SSB prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior on this frequency point is given by the SSB beam range information contained in the MO2 measurement configuration. In the MO3-related measurement configuration, the cells corresponding to PCI2, PCI3, and PCI4 allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior, and the SSB prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior on this frequency point is given by the SSB beam range information contained in the MO3 measurement configuration.

[0103] It should be noted that the three MOs mentioned in Table 5 are only examples. The MOs actually configured in the network device may be the same as or different from those in Table 5. For example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include some or all of the three MOs in Table 5. For another example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include other MOs not listed in Table 5. In addition, an MO measurement configuration may include other parameters in addition to the three parameters shown in Table 5, which is not limited in this application.

[0104] The technical solution of indicating measurement configuration information through the second and third parameters does not associate the newly introduced parameters with the PCI list information in the related art, making the solution more flexible. This is because there is no need to consider the relationship between the newly introduced parameters and the parameters defined in the related art, which simplifies implementation. Furthermore, the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal is configured at the frequency granularity, which also reduces configuration overhead compared to configuring at the PCI granularity.

[0105] As described above, when the configuration information indicates the cell list information and the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal, the cell list information and the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal corresponding to the first frequency point can be respectively indicated by two parameters (e.g., the first parameter and the third parameter, or the second parameter and the third parameter), thereby decoupling the indication of the cell list information and the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal, thereby simplifying the implementation. Moreover, in this embodiment, the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal can be configured at the frequency point granularity, which can also save configuration overhead compared to configuration at the PCI granularity.

[0106] In some embodiments, the cell list information and the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal can be indicated by a fourth parameter. The cell list information and the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal can be associated with each other by the fourth parameter. In this case, the beam identification range associated with the measurement reference signal indicated by the fourth parameter can be configured for the cells included in the cell list, that is, configured at a cell granularity. Compared with the beam identification range configured at a frequency granularity, the beam identification range configured at a cell granularity has better accuracy.

[0107] The fourth parameter may indicate both the cell list information and the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal. Therefore, the fourth parameter may also be referred to as a composite list information parameter.

[0108] In some implementations, the measurement configuration information also includes information about the first cell and a fourth parameter associated with the information about the first cell. The fourth parameter may be used to indicate: whether the first cell allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction; and the beam range associated with the measurement reference signal for performing beam measurement result prediction on the first cell at the first frequency. The first cell and its information are described above and are not repeated here.

[0109] The fourth parameter can be used to indicate whether the first cell allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior, and when the first cell allows the terminal to be set to perform beam measurement behavior, the fourth parameter can be used to indicate the beam range associated with the measurement reference signal for performing beam measurement result prediction behavior for the first cell.

[0110] As a possible implementation method, the fourth parameter may be a newly defined first compound list information parameter. The first compound list information parameter may include one or more elements. Taking the measurement reference signal including SSB as an example, the one or more elements may include a first element. The first element may include a first indication information parameter (the description of the first indication information is detailed above) and an SSB beam range information parameter. The first indication information contained in each element contained in the first compound list information parameter may be associated with a PCI at the same position in the PCI list information defined in the relevant technology in the MO configuration of the first frequency point, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether the cell corresponding to the associated PCI allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior. The SSB beam range information contained in each element contained in the first compound list information parameter may be associated with a PCI at the same element position in the PCI list information defined in the relevant technology configured in the same MO configuration, and the SSB beam range information is used to indicate the SSB prediction range for the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior on the cell corresponding to the associated PCI. The following is an example illustrated in Table 6.

[0111] Table 6

[0112] Table 6 takes the measurement configuration information configured by the network device as an example to illustrate that it contains three MO-related measurement configurations. Among them, each MO-related measurement configuration contains three parameters: the frequency identification information contained in the MO measurement configuration, the PCI list information contained in the MO measurement configuration (parameters defined in the relevant technology), and the first compound list information parameter contained in the MO measurement configuration (a newly defined parameter in this application). The SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration (or the SSB beam range information contained in any element contained in the first compound list information parameter) is directly associated with the PCI information defined in the relevant technology contained in the MO measurement configuration, that is, the SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration is configured according to the PCI granularity, or according to the frequency granularity + PCI combined granularity (also called cell granularity). Taking the MO1-related measurement configuration as an example, in Table 6, the first composite list information parameter contained in the MO1 measurement configuration includes two elements, element 1 includes a first indication information (valued as '1') and an SSB beam range information (i.e., SSB beam range information 1), and element 1 is associated with PCI1 contained in the PCI list information contained in the MO1 measurement configuration; element 2 includes a first indication information (valued as '0') and an empty SSB beam range information, and element 2 is associated with PCI2 contained in the PCI list information contained in the MO1 measurement configuration. Among them, the first indication information value of '1' indicates that the cell corresponding to the associated PCI allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior, and the first indication information value of '0' indicates that the cell corresponding to the associated PCI does not allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior.

[0113] It should be noted that the three MOs mentioned in Table 6 are only examples. The MOs actually configured in the network device may be the same as or different from those in Table 6. For example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include some or all of the three MOs in Table 6. For another example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include other MOs not listed in Table 6. In addition, an MO measurement configuration may include other parameters in addition to the three parameters shown in Table 6, which is not limited in this application.

[0114] Compared to defining a new PCI list parameter, the fourth parameter, combined with the first cell information, indicates the cell list information and the beam identifier range information associated with the measurement reference signal, which can further reduce air interface configuration overhead because the number of bits occupied by a first indication information is smaller than the number of bits occupied by a PCI information. On the other hand, SSB beam range information is configured at the cell granularity, which is more accurate than configuration at the frequency granularity, facilitating accurate prediction of beam measurement results corresponding to beams associated with specific cells at the cell granularity.

[0115] In some implementations, the fourth parameter may be used to indicate: PCI information of a second cell that allows a terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction; and a beam range associated with a measurement reference signal for performing beam measurement result prediction for the second cell on a first frequency point. The second cell may belong to one or more cells that allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction. The fourth parameter may be used to indicate PCI information of one or more cells; and a beam range associated with a measurement reference signal for performing beam measurement result prediction for the one or more cells on the first frequency point.

[0116] It should be noted that the second cell is a cell on the first frequency where the terminal device is allowed to perform beam measurement result prediction. As described above, the first cell is any cell associated with the first frequency. Therefore, the second cell can be the first cell, but the first cell is not necessarily the second cell.

[0117] As a possible implementation method, the fourth parameter may be a newly defined second compound list information parameter. The second compound list information parameter is described below by taking the measurement reference signal including SSB as an example. The second compound list information parameter may include one or more elements. One or more elements may include a second element. The second element may include a PCI information and an SSB beam range information. The PCI information and the SSB beam range information may be associated with each other. The PCI information contained in the second element is used to indicate that the corresponding cell allows the terminal device to perform a beam measurement result prediction behavior, and the SSB beam range information contained in the second element is used to indicate the SSB beam prediction range for the terminal device on the PCI associated with the parameter to perform a beam measurement result prediction behavior. Table 7 is used as an example below.

[0118] Table 7

[0119] In Table 7, the measurement configuration information configured by the network device includes three MO-related measurement configurations as an example for explanation. Among them, each MO-related measurement configuration includes two parameters: the frequency identification information contained in the MO measurement configuration and the second compound list information contained in the MO measurement configuration (a parameter newly defined in this application). The SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration (or the SSB beam range information contained in any one element contained in the second compound list information parameter) is directly associated with the newly defined PCI information contained in the MO measurement configuration. That is, the SSB beam range information contained in the MO measurement configuration can be configured according to the PCI granularity, or according to the frequency granularity + PCI combined granularity (also called cell granularity). Taking the MO1-related measurement configuration as an example, in Table 7, the second composite list parameter included in the MO1 measurement configuration includes two elements. Element 1 includes a PCI (value is PCI1) and an SSB beam range information (ie, SSB beam range information 1). The SSB beam range information 1 included in element 1 is associated with PCI1; element 2 includes a PCI (value is PCI2) and an SSB beam range information (ie, SSB beam range information 2). The SSB beam range information 2 included in element 2 is associated with PCI2.

[0120] It should be noted that the three MOs mentioned in Table 7 are only examples. The MOs actually configured in the network device may be the same as or different from those in Table 7. For example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include some or all of the three MOs in Table 7. For another example, one or more MOs configured in the network device may include other MOs than those in Table 7. In addition, an MO measurement configuration may include other parameters in addition to the three parameters shown in Table 7, which is not limited in this application.

[0121] In the above implementation, the newly introduced fourth parameter is not associated with the PCI list information parameters defined in the relevant art. This provides greater flexibility because the definition of the association between the newly introduced parameter and the parameters already defined in the relevant art does not need to be considered, simplifying implementation. Furthermore, the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal is configured at the cell granularity. This configuration is more accurate than configuration at the frequency granularity, facilitating accurate prediction of beam measurement results corresponding to beams associated with specific cells at the cell granularity.

[0122] It should be noted that the above is mostly explained using the example of the measurement reference signal including SSB. In fact, the above scheme can also be applied to the case where the measurement reference signal includes other signals (such as CSI-RS). For example, for the case where the measurement reference signal includes SSB and CSI-RS, the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal can be indicated by the fifth parameter and the sixth parameter respectively. Among them, the fifth parameter can be used to indicate one or more SSB-associated beam identifiers that allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point; the fifth parameter can be used to indicate one or more CSI-RS-associated beam identifiers that allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point. For another example, for the case where the measurement reference signal includes SSB and CSI-RS, the beam identification range information associated with the measurement reference signal can be indicated by the sixth parameter. Among them, the sixth parameter can be used to indicate one or more SSB-associated beam identifiers and one or more CSI-RS-associated beam identifiers that allow the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction behavior at the first frequency point. For another example, in the case where the measurement reference signal includes SSB and CSI-RS, the cell included in the cell list information, the beam identification range information associated with the SSB, and the beam identification range information associated with the CSI-RS can be indicated by the seventh parameter. For another example, in the case where the measurement reference signal includes SSB and / or CSI-RS, the cell included in the cell list information and the beam identification range information associated with the SSB can be indicated by the eighth parameter; and / or, the cell included in the cell list information and the beam identification range information associated with the CSI-RS can be indicated by the ninth parameter. The detailed implementation method is similar and will not be elaborated in this application.

[0123] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result prediction behavior may include predicting the beam measurement results of one or more beams. For example, the terminal device may predict the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set obtained during the actual measurement process. The first beam set may include one or more beams. The second beam may include one or more beams. The beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set and the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set may both be associated with the second cell. As described above, the second cell may be a cell on the first frequency point that allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement prediction behavior.

[0124] It can be seen from this that for the cell that allows the terminal device to perform beam measurement result prediction on the first frequency point, the terminal device can predict the beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam set based on the beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam set obtained during the actual measurement process. Therefore, the beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam set can be obtained without the actual measurement process, thereby reducing the overhead of the terminal device performing the actual measurement process. In addition, in some implementations, since the actual measurement process is not required, the corresponding measurement reference signal can be not transmitted between the terminal device and the network device, thereby reducing the occupation of measurement resources by the measurement reference signal.

[0125] In a possible implementation, the beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam set and the beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam set may be beam measurement results at the same moment.

[0126] In some embodiments, the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set may be beam measurement results corresponding to m beams associated at the first moment, obtained by the terminal device according to an actual measurement process. The beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set may be beam measurement results corresponding to n beams associated at the first moment, determined by the terminal device through beam measurement result prediction behavior. Both the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams and the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams may be associated with the second cell. Both m and n may be positive integers.

[0127] For example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to n beams and the identifiers of n beams at the first moment based on the beam measurement results corresponding to m beams and the identifiers of m beams; for another example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to n beams at the first moment based on the beam measurement results corresponding to m beams; for another example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to n beams at the first moment based on the beam measurement results corresponding to m beams, the identifiers of m beams and the beam pattern associated with the measurement reference signal; for another example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to n beams at the first moment and the identifiers of n beams based on the beam measurement results corresponding to m beams, the identifiers of m beams and the beam pattern associated with the measurement reference signal. The beam pattern associated with the measurement reference signal is used to indicate the association relationship (e.g., spatial association relationship) between the beams associated with the measurement reference signal. This information can indicate the association relationship between the predicted beam and the actual measurable beam, and can assist in inferring the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams at the first moment. Among them, the spatial correlation relationship can be used to indicate whether there is spatial correlation between the beams. For example, if there is spatial correlation between m beams and n beams, the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams can be predicted in an interpolation manner based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams. For example, assuming that the beam pattern associated with the measurement reference signal indicates that beam 1, beam 2, beam 3, beam 4, beam 5 and beam 6 have spatial correlation in the order of numbering, if the actual measurable beam set is beam 1, beam 3 and beam 5, then when predicting beam 2, beam 4 and beam 6, it is possible to consider predicting the beam measurement results in an interpolation manner, for example: based on the beam measurement results corresponding to beam 1 and beam 3, the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 2 is obtained by interpolation, based on the beam measurement results corresponding to beam 3 and beam 5, the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 4 is obtained by interpolation, based on the beam measurement results corresponding to beam 4 and beam 5, the beam measurement result corresponding to beam 6 is obtained by interpolation.

[0128] It should be noted that the first moment can be any moment in the process of the terminal device performing beam measurement result prediction.

[0129] In this implementation, the beam measurement result prediction process can be implemented based solely on the beam measurement results obtained during the actual measurement process at a certain moment. Therefore, the beam measurement result prediction process of this approach is less complex and is easier to implement in terminal devices.

[0130] In a possible implementation, the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set and the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set may belong to beam measurement results at different moments. For example, the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set may belong to beam measurement results associated with a historical moment before the first moment (the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams obtained through the actual measurement process at the first moment may also belong to the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set), and the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set may belong to the beam measurement results associated with the first moment. The beam measurement result prediction process of this method can take into account the beam measurement data obtained by the terminal device at several historical moments, so the beam measurement result prediction accuracy is higher.

[0131] Optionally, the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set may be beam measurement results corresponding to k beam sets associated k time moments prior to the first time moment obtained by the terminal device according to an actual measurement process. The beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams include the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set. Wherein, k and n may both be positive integers. The beam measurement results corresponding to the k beam sets and the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams are both associated with the second cell. For example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams at the first moment and the identifiers of the n beams based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the k beam sets and the identifiers of the k beam sets; for another example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams at the first moment based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the k beam sets; for another example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams at the first moment based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the k beam sets, the identifiers of the k beam sets, and the beam pattern associated with the measurement reference signal; for another example, the terminal device can predict or infer the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams at the first moment and the identifiers of the n beams based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the k beam sets, the identifiers of the k beam sets, and the beam pattern associated with the measurement reference signal. The beam pattern associated with the measurement reference signal is used to indicate the association relationship (e.g., spatial association relationship) between the beams associated with the measurement reference signal. This information can indicate the association relationship between the predicted beam and the actual measurable beam, and can assist in inferring the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams at the first moment.

[0132] It should be noted that the k groups of beam sets may include one or more groups of beam sets, and a group of beam sets may include one or more beams. The beam measurement results corresponding to a group of beam sets may be beam measurement results corresponding to one or more beams obtained by the terminal device through an actual measurement process at the same time.

[0133] It should be noted that the k moments before the first moment may include the first moment. The terminal device may obtain beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams associated with the first moment according to the actual measurement process. The m beams may be any group in the k beam set.

[0134] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result prediction behavior may include predicting the cell-level measurement results associated with a certain cell or certain cells. That is, the terminal device may determine or predict the cell-level measurement results of the corresponding cell based on the predicted beam measurement results. Exemplarily, the terminal device may determine the cell-level measurement results associated with the second cell at the first moment based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the third beam set and / or the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set. The beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set may belong to the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams associated with the second cell at the first moment obtained by the terminal device according to the prediction; the beam measurement results corresponding to the third beam set may belong to the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams associated with the second cell at the first moment obtained by the terminal device according to the actual measurement process.

[0135] It should be noted that the third beam set and the first beam set described above may be the same as or different from each other.

[0136] For example, the first beam set and the third beam set are exactly the same. That is, the beam measurement result prediction result of the beam associated with the second cell and the cell-level measurement result prediction result of the second cell are beam measurement results obtained based on the same actual measurement process. Exemplarily, the beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam set and the beam measurement result corresponding to the third beam set can both be beam measurement results corresponding to one or more beams associated with the second cell at the first moment, obtained by the terminal device according to the actual measurement process.

[0137] For another example, the first beam set and the third beam set may be partially identical. That is, the beam measurement result prediction result of the beam associated with the second cell and the cell-level measurement result prediction result of the second cell are obtained based on beam measurement results obtained from partially identical actual measurement processes. Exemplarily, the third beam set may be a subset of the first beam set. Exemplarily, the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set include beam measurement results obtained from actual measurement processes before and including the first moment. Exemplarily, the first beam set and the third beam set may have an intersection.

[0138] For another example, the first beam set and the third beam set can be completely different. For example, the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set can include beam measurement results corresponding to m1 beams among the m beams actually measured at the first moment; the beam measurement results corresponding to the third beam set can include beam measurement results corresponding to m2 beams among the m beams actually measured at the first moment; and any beam among the m1 beams is different from any beam among the m2 beams. Both m1 and m2 can be positive integers.

[0139] In some embodiments, when all beam measurement results corresponding to m beams are less than a first threshold, the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell at the first moment may be determined based on the maximum value among the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams. In other words, if the measurement result of any beam among the m beam measurement results obtained by the terminal device on the second cell through an actual measurement process at the first moment is less than the first threshold, the terminal device may deem that the cell-level measurement result of the second cell at the first moment is equal to the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam with the largest measurement value among the m beam measurement results.

[0140] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam set may belong to the beam measurement result corresponding to the n beams associated with the second cell at the first moment obtained by the terminal device according to the prediction process. When one or more beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams are greater than or equal to the first threshold, the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell at the first moment may be determined based on the linear average of the k1 beam measurement results. The beam measurement results corresponding to the k1 beams are all greater than or equal to the first threshold, and any one of the beam measurement results corresponding to the k1 beams belongs to the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams or the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams, and m, n, and k1 are all positive integers. That is, if at least one of the m beam measurement results obtained by the terminal device on the second cell through the actual measurement process at the first moment has a beam measurement result corresponding to a beam greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal device may deem that the cell-level measurement result of the cell at the first moment is equal to the linear average of the measurement results of the k1 beams. Among them, the beam measurement result corresponding to any one beam included in the beam measurement results corresponding to the k1 beams is greater than or equal to the first threshold, and the beam measurement result corresponding to any one beam included in the measurement results of the k1 beams belongs to any one of the beam measurement results included in the m beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process, or belongs to any one of the beam measurement results included in the n beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the beam result prediction process, and k1 is less than or equal to the first quantity threshold.

[0141] It should be noted that the first threshold and / or the first quantity threshold may be configured by the network device. For example, the network device may send information about the first threshold and / or the first quantity threshold to the terminal device. The first threshold and / or the first quantity threshold may be used to determine a cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell. Exemplarily, the first threshold and / or the first quantity threshold may be configured to the terminal device via dedicated signaling from the network device.

[0142] In an optional embodiment, the number of beam measurement results greater than or equal to a first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams is a first number, the number of beam measurement results greater than or equal to the first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams is a second number, and the sum of the first number and the second number (the first number + the second number) is a third number. The cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell at the first moment may be related to the third number.

[0143] For example, when the third number is less than or equal to the first number threshold, the beam measurement results corresponding to k1 beams are composed of the following beam measurement results: beam measurement results corresponding to m beams and beam measurement results corresponding to n beams that are greater than or equal to the first threshold in the total beam measurement results composed of the beam measurement results corresponding to m beams and the beam measurement results corresponding to n beams. That is to say, if the total number of beams whose beam measurement results meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process and the n beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the beam result prediction process is less than or equal to the first number threshold, the terminal device uses the linear average of the beam measurement results corresponding to all beams whose beam measurement results meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results and the n beam measurement results as the cell-level measurement result corresponding to the second cell at the first moment, where the prediction condition is that the beam measurement result is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0144] For another example, when the third number is greater than the first number threshold, the beam measurement results corresponding to k1 beams are composed of the following beam measurement results: the beam measurement results corresponding to m beams, and the beam measurement results corresponding to the first k2 best beams greater than or equal to the first threshold in the total beam measurement results composed of the beam measurement results corresponding to n beams, where k1 or k2 is equal to the first number threshold. That is to say, if the total number of beams whose beam measurement results meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process and the n beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the beam measurement result prediction process is greater than the first number threshold, the terminal device uses the linear average of the beam measurement results corresponding to the first k2 best beams whose beam measurement results meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results and the n beam measurement results as the cell-level measurement result of the second cell at the first moment, where the value of k2 can be equal to the first number threshold, and the prediction condition is that the beam measurement result is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0145] Based on the above method, there is no need to distinguish between the method for obtaining cell-level measurement results when beam measurement result prediction is performed and the method for obtaining cell-level measurement results when beam measurement result prediction is not performed. In other words, the method for obtaining cell-level measurement results is consistent regardless of whether the terminal device performs beam measurement result prediction. Therefore, there is no need to define two different sets of cell-level measurement result acquisition methods for the terminal device based on whether it is a beam prediction scenario (one set for non-beam prediction scenarios and the other set for beam prediction scenarios). The additional complexity of the terminal device when expanding from non-beam prediction scenarios to beam prediction scenarios is low.

[0146] For another example, when the third number is greater than the first number threshold, if the number of beams greater than or equal to the first threshold in the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams is greater than or equal to the first number threshold, then the beam measurement results corresponding to the k1 beams may include the beam measurement results corresponding to the first k1 best beams greater than or equal to the first threshold in the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams. Wherein, k1 is equal to the first number threshold. That is to say, if the number of beams that meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process is greater than or equal to the first number threshold, the terminal device can use the linear average of the beam measurement results corresponding to the first first number threshold best beams greater than or equal to the first threshold in the m beam measurement results as the cell-level measurement result of the second cell at the first moment, where the prediction condition is that the beam measurement result is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

[0147] For another example, when the third number is greater than the first number threshold, if the number of beams greater than or equal to the first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams is less than the first number threshold, then the beam measurement results corresponding to the k1 beams consist of the following beam measurement results: all beam measurement results greater than or equal to the first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams, and beam measurement results corresponding to the top k3 best beams greater than or equal to the first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams, where k1 is equal to the first number threshold. That is to say, if the total number of beams whose beam measurement results meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the actual measurement process and the n beam measurement results associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device through the beam result prediction process is greater than the first quantity threshold and the number of beams greater than or equal to the first threshold in the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams is less than the first quantity threshold, then the terminal device can use the measurement results of all beams whose beam measurement results meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results and the measurement results of the top k3 best beams that meet the preset conditions in the n beam measurement results, a total of k4 beams, as the cell-level measurement results of the second cell at the first moment. The value of k4 can be equal to the first quantity threshold, k3 is equal to (k4-k6), and k6 is the number of beams that meet the preset conditions in the m beam measurement results. The preset conditions may include that the beam measurement result is greater than or equal to the first threshold, and k6 is a positive integer.

[0148] In this method, the beam prediction scenario uses a different method for obtaining cell-level measurement results than the non-beam prediction scenario. However, since the better beam obtained by the actual measurement of the terminal device is preferentially used to obtain the cell-level measurement results, and the better beam obtained by the beam prediction process is considered secondarily, the cell-level measurement results obtained by this method are more accurate or more reliable than those obtained by the aforementioned method.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell satisfies a measurement reporting event, the terminal device may send the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell at the first moment to the network device. The cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell may be determined by a beam measurement result prediction behavior. For example, the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell may be a cell-level measurement result obtained by the terminal device after executing the beam measurement result prediction behavior described above.

[0150] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration information may include indication information. The indication information may be used to instruct the terminal device whether to report a prediction result of a beam measurement result associated with the second cell at a first moment when a measurement reporting event is satisfied.

[0151] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration information may include a second quantity threshold and / or a first range. The second quantity threshold may be used to indicate the maximum number of beams included in the beam measurement result prediction result associated with the second cell at the first moment reported by the terminal device. The first range may be used to indicate the range of beam identifiers to which the beam measurement result prediction result reported by the terminal device includes the beam.

[0152] Optionally, if the measurement configuration information also includes a second quantity threshold, when the measurement reporting event is met, the terminal device sends to the network device a beam measurement result prediction result associated with the second cell at the first moment, and the number of beams included may be less than or equal to the second quantity threshold.

[0153] Optionally, if the measurement configuration information also includes a first range, when the measurement reporting event is met, the terminal device sends a beam measurement result prediction result associated with the second cell at the first moment to the network device, which includes that the beam may belong to the first range.

[0154] For example, if the measurement configuration includes indication information but does not include the second quantity threshold information and the first range, when the cell-level measurement result of the second cell obtained by the terminal device at the first moment meets the measurement reporting event indicated in the measurement configuration, the terminal device reports the beam measurement result prediction results corresponding to all beams predicted for the second cell at the first moment.

[0155] For another example, if the measurement configuration includes indication information and second quantity threshold information but does not include the first range, when the cell-level measurement result of the second cell obtained by the terminal device at the first moment meets the measurement reporting event indicated in the measurement configuration, the terminal device reports the beam measurement result prediction result corresponding to the top k5 best beams predicted for the second cell at the first moment (the number of beams actually reported by the terminal device as predicted for the second cell is less than or equal to the second quantity threshold), where the value of k5 is equal to the value of the second quantity threshold.

[0156] For another example, if the measurement configuration includes indication information and a first range but does not include second quantity threshold information, when the cell-level measurement result of the second cell obtained by the terminal device at the first moment meets the measurement reporting event indicated in the measurement configuration, the terminal device reports the beam measurement result prediction result corresponding to the beam predicted for the second cell at the first moment and belonging to the first range (the beam range actually reported by the terminal device is a subset of the beams included in the first range).

[0157] For another example, if the measurement configuration includes indication information, second quantity threshold information and a first range, then when the cell-level measurement result of the second cell obtained by the terminal device at the first moment meets the measurement reporting event indicated in the measurement configuration, the terminal device reports the beam measurement result prediction result predicted for the second cell at the first moment and belonging to the first range including the beam and at most the top k5 best beams (the beam range actually reported by the terminal device as predicted for the second cell belongs to a subset of the beams included in the first range, and the number of beams actually reported by the terminal device as predicted for the second cell is less than or equal to the second quantity threshold), where the value of k5 is equal to the value of the second quantity threshold.

[0158] For another example, if the measurement configuration includes the second quantity threshold information but does not include the first range, when the cell-level measurement result of the second cell obtained by the terminal device at the first moment meets the measurement reporting event indicated in the measurement configuration, the terminal device reports the beam measurement result prediction result corresponding to the top k5 best beams predicted for the second cell at the first moment (the number of beams actually reported by the terminal device as predicted for the second cell is less than or equal to the second quantity threshold), where the value of k5 is equal to the value of the second quantity threshold.

[0159] For another example, if the measurement configuration includes the first range but does not include the second quantity threshold information, when the cell-level measurement result of the second cell obtained by the terminal device at the first moment meets the measurement reporting event indicated in the measurement configuration, the terminal device reports the beam measurement result prediction result corresponding to the beam predicted for the second cell at the first moment and belonging to the first range (the beam range actually reported by the terminal device for the second cell prediction belongs to a subset of the beams included in the first range).

[0160] For another example, if the measurement configuration includes a second quantity threshold information and a first range, when the cell-level measurement result of the second cell obtained by the terminal device at the first moment meets the measurement reporting event indicated in the measurement configuration, the terminal device reports the beam measurement result prediction result corresponding to the beam predicted for the second cell at the first moment and belonging to the first range and including the beam and up to the first k5 best beams (the beam range actually reported by the terminal device as predicted for the second cell belongs to a subset of the beams included in the first range, and the number of beams actually reported by the terminal device as predicted for the second cell is less than or equal to the second quantity threshold), where the value of k5 is equal to the value of the second quantity threshold.

[0161] According to one or more of the second quantity threshold, the first range and the indication information configured by the network device, the terminal device can provide the predicted beam measurement results to the network device on demand, thereby facilitating the switching target cell to configure more accurate non-competition-based random access resources for the terminal device or assisting the network device in selecting the switching target cell.

[0162] The measurement reporting event is any of the following: A1 event, A2 event, A3 event, A4 event, A5 event, A6 event, A7 event, A8 event, A9 event, A10 event, A11 event, A12 event, A13 event, and A14 event. It should be emphasized that A1 to A14 are only used to logically number the events and have no other meaning. Among them, the A1 event may include: the serving cell signal measurement result is higher than an absolute threshold; the A2 event may include: the serving cell signal measurement result is lower than an absolute threshold; the A3 event may include: the neighboring cell signal measurement result is higher than the primary cell (PCell) / primary secondary cell (PSCell) signal measurement result by an offset; the A4 event may include: the neighboring cell signal measurement result is higher than an absolute threshold; the A5 event may include: the PCell / PSCell cell signal measurement result is lower than an absolute threshold 1 and the neighboring cell / secondary cell (SCell) signal measurement result is higher than an absolute threshold 2; the A6 event may include: the neighboring cell signal measurement result is higher than the SCell cell signal measurement result by an offset; the A7 event may include: the distance between the first device and the reference point 1 is greater than the configured threshold 1 and the distance between the first device and the reference point 2 is less than the configured threshold 2; the A8 event may include: the distance between the first device and the reference point 1 is greater than the configured threshold 1; the A9 event may include: the distance between the first device and the reference point 2 is less than the configured threshold 2; the A10 event may include: belonging to inter radio access technology (Inter The neighboring cell measurement result of the inter RAT) is higher than an absolute threshold; the A11 event may include: the PCell cell signal measurement result is lower than an absolute threshold 1 and the neighboring cell measurement result belonging to the Inter RAT is higher than an absolute threshold 2; the A12 event may include: the periodic measurement reporting timer T times out; the A13 event may include: the time reaches the absolute time X; the A14 event may include: time t has passed since the successful receipt of the measurement configuration.

[0163] In some embodiments, the terminal device may send first capability information to the network device. The first capability information may be used to indicate whether the terminal device supports a beam measurement result prediction function. That is, the first capability may indicate the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device.

[0164] Optionally, the first capability information can be indicated according to the following granularity: carrier granularity, band granularity, band combination granularity, band granularity and band combination granularity, carrier granularity and band granularity, carrier granularity and band combination granularity, carrier granularity and band granularity and band combination granularity, frequency range granularity, band granularity and frequency range granularity, carrier granularity and frequency range granularity, carrier granularity and band granularity and frequency range granularity. In other words, the first capability information may indicate one of the following: the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more carriers; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more frequency bands; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more frequency band combinations; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more frequency bands associated with one or more frequency band combinations; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more carriers associated with one or more frequency bands; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more carriers associated with one or more frequency band combinations; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more frequency bands associated with one or more frequency band combinations; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more frequency point ranges; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more frequency bands associated with one or more frequency point ranges; the beam measurement result prediction capability of the terminal device on one or more carriers associated with one or more frequency bands associated with one or more frequency point ranges.

[0165] In some embodiments, the network device corresponding to the serving cell of the terminal device may send a first prediction result to the network device corresponding to the handover target cell. The first prediction result may include a beam measurement result prediction result associated with the handover target cell.

[0166] Optionally, the first prediction result may be carried in a handover preparation message.

[0167] The beam measurement result prediction result associated with the switching target cell can come from: the beam measurement result prediction result obtained through the terminal device measurement reporting process, and / or the beam measurement result prediction result associated with the neighboring cell obtained through the beam measurement result prediction process performed by the service cell associated with the terminal device.

[0179] In some embodiments, the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set are the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams associated at the first moment obtained by the terminal device according to an actual measurement process, and the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set predicted based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the first beam set obtained according to the actual measurement process include: the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams associated at the first moment and the identifiers of the n beams predicted based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams and the identifiers of the m beams; wherein the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams include the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set, the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams and the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams are both associated with the second cell, and m and n are both positive integers.

[0180] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam set is the beam measurement result corresponding to the k groups of beam sets associated at k moments before the first moment obtained by the terminal device according to the actual measurement process. The beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam set obtained according to the actual measurement process is predicted to obtain the beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam set, including: predicting the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams associated at the first moment and the identifiers of the n beams based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the k groups of beam sets and the identifiers of the k groups of beams; wherein the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams include the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set, the beam measurement results corresponding to the k groups of beam sets and the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams are both associated with the second cell, and k and n are both positive integers.

[0181] In some embodiments, the terminal device 300 is also used to: determine the cell-level measurement results associated with the second cell based on the beam measurement results corresponding to the third beam set and / or the beam measurement results corresponding to the second beam set, wherein the beam measurement results corresponding to the third beam set belong to the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams associated with the second cell at the first moment obtained by the terminal device according to the actual measurement process.

[0182] In some embodiments, when all beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams are less than a first threshold, the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell at the first moment is determined based on the maximum value of the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams, where m is a positive integer.

[0183] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam set belongs to the beam measurement result corresponding to the n beams associated with the second cell at the first moment obtained by the terminal device according to the prediction process. When there are one or more beam measurement results greater than or equal to the first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams, the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell at the first moment is determined based on the linear average of k1 beam measurement results, wherein the beam measurement results corresponding to the k1 beams are all greater than or equal to the first threshold, and any one of the beam measurement results corresponding to the k1 beams belongs to the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams or the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams, and m, n and k1 are all positive integers.

[0184] In some embodiments, the number of beam measurement results greater than or equal to the first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the m beams is a first number, the number of beam measurement results greater than or equal to the first threshold among the beam measurement results corresponding to the n beams is a second number, the sum of the first number and the second number is a third number, and the cell-level measurement result associated with the second cell at the first moment is related to the third number.
