[0202] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0203] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are examples. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 .

Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0205] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to improve the downlink coverage of Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB, the downlink coverage performance can be improved by using Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB repetition. In order to facilitate the network device to determine the number of repetitions of Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB, the terminal device needs to report auxiliary information to assist the network device in determining the number of repetitions. The auxiliary information can be one or more of the following:

[0206] Downlink signal quality, such as Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) or downlink reference point Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP);

[0207] Recommended number of repetitions;

[0208] Whether the terminal device supports Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB repetition.

[0209] In some embodiments, NR supports configuring different Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resources for different Feature combinations. Feature combinations can support the following feature combinations:

[0210] Msg3 repetition;

[0211] Msg1 repetition;

[0212] RedCap: Reduced capability;

[0213] Small Data

[0214] Network slice AS group (NSAG): slice.

[0215] In some embodiments, during a random access process, after a random access attempt fails, the terminal device needs to make another random access attempt until the maximum number of random access attempts is reached. When making different random access attempts, the terminal device may switch between contention-based random access (CBRA) and non-contention random access (CFRA), or switch from 2-step RA to 4-step RA, or change the number of Msg1 repetitions.

[0216] In some embodiments, for the Random Access Channel (RACH) process for Msg2 / Mg4 / MgB repetitions, the network device configures different RACH resources for different repetition / RSRP thresholds / CQI thresholds. If a terminal device selects only one RACH resource corresponding to a repetition / RSRP threshold / CQI threshold, the network device may not be configured to support the feature combination of repetition / RSRP threshold / CQI threshold, resulting in the terminal being unable to select the corresponding RACH resource.

[0217] FIG2 is an interactive diagram illustrating an information reporting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be executed by the above-mentioned communication system. As shown in FIG2 , the method may include:

[0218] Step S201: The terminal device determines to report the second information.

[0219] In some embodiments, the second information may be used by the network device to repeatedly send the third information.

[0220] In some embodiments, the second information may be used to indicate the number of repetitions of sending the third information.

[0221] In some embodiments, the second information may include at least one of the following:

[0222] First downlink signal quality;

[0223] Number of repetitions;

[0224] Whether the terminal device supports repeated sending of downlink information.

[0225] In some embodiments, the first downlink signal quality may be a downlink signal quality measured by a terminal device.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first downlink signal quality may include at least one of the following:

[0227] RSRP of the downlink path loss reference point, CQI of the downlink path loss reference point, RSRP of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and CQI of the PDCCH.

[0228] It should be noted that the first downlink signal quality may also include other parameters that can reflect the downlink channel quality specified in the protocol, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure. The terminal device can obtain the first downlink signal quality in a manner specified in the protocol, which will not be repeated here.

[0229] In some embodiments, the name of the second information is not limited, and may be, for example, "auxiliary information", "information for assisting retransmission of downlink information", "information indicating the number of retransmissions", etc.

[0230] In some embodiments, the third information may be used to indicate downlink information for random access by the terminal device.

[0231] In some embodiments, the downlink information may include at least one of the following: Msg2, Msg4, MsgB.

[0232] In some embodiments, the carrying mode of the downlink information may include at least one of the following:

[0233] PDCCH;

[0234] Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

[0235] In some embodiments, the second information may include a reporting value of Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB repetition auxiliary information.

[0236] In some embodiments, the Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB repetition assistance information may include Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB PDCCH repetition and / or Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB PDSCH repetition.

[0237] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine to report the second information in at least one of the following ways:

[0238] Determine to report the second information according to the first configuration information;

[0239] Determine to report the second information according to the first downlink signal quality.

[0240] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may be used to indicate RACH configuration.

[0241] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine to report the second information based on the first downlink signal quality. For example, the terminal device determines to report the second information if it determines that the first downlink signal quality is less than or equal to a first signal quality threshold. The first signal quality threshold may be a signal quality threshold specified by a protocol or a signal quality threshold obtained through testing, which is not limited in the present embodiments.

[0242] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine to report the second information based on the first configuration information.

[0243] In some embodiments, the terminal device may determine to report the second information according to the first configuration information by at least one of the following:

[0244] determining that the first configuration information includes a non-contention random access (Contention Free Random Access, CFRA) resource for random access of the terminal device, the CFRA resource includes a first RACH resource supporting reporting of the second information and does not include a RACH resource other than the first RACH resource, and determining to report the second information;

[0245] Determining that the random access request sent by the terminal device is triggered based on the system message SI, and the RACH resources used to send the SI include the first RACH resource and do not include RACH resources other than the first RACH resource, and determining to report the second information;

[0246] It is determined that a bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP) of the random access request sent by the terminal device includes the first RACH resource and does not include RACH resources other than the first RACH resource, and it is determined to report the second information.

[0247] For example, if the first configuration information configures the CFRA resources used for the current random access of the terminal device, and the CFRA originally only includes the RACH resources that support reporting of the second information, it is determined to report the second information.

[0248] For another example, if the random access of the terminal device is triggered by an SI request, and the RACH resources used for the SI request only include RACH resources that support reporting of the second information, it is determined to report the second information.

[0249] For another example, if the BWP on which the terminal device initiates the RACH is only configured with RACH resources that support reporting of the second information, it is determined to report the second information.

[0250] Step S202: The terminal device determines that the first RACH resource set can be used to trigger all features of the terminal device to perform random access.

[0251] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may include multiple RACH resource sets.

[0252] In some embodiments, the first RACH resource set may include at least one RACH resource set in the first configuration information.

[0253] In some embodiments, the feature may include at least one of the following:

[0254] Msg3 repetition;

[0255] Msg1 repetition;

[0256] RedCap;

[0257] Small Data

[0258] NSAG.

[0259] In some embodiments, if all features for random access of a terminal device include Msg3 repetition, Msg1 repetition, RedCap, Small Data, and NSAG, the RACH resource set with all features that can be used to trigger random access of the terminal device among the multiple RACH resource sets of the first configuration information can be used as the first RACH resource set.

[0260] Step S203: The terminal device determines that the first RACH resource set includes one RACH resource set, and uses the fourth information corresponding to the first RACH resource set as the second information.

[0261] In some embodiments, the fourth information may include at least one of the following: RSRP, CQI, and number of repetitions.

[0262] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the first RACH resource set includes only one RACH resource set, the fourth information corresponding to the first RACH resource set may be used as the second information.

[0263] Step S204: The terminal device reports the second information to the network device through Msg1 or MsgA.

[0264] In some embodiments, the network device may receive the second information. For example, the network device may receive the second information sent by the terminal device. For another example, the network device may also receive the second information sent by another entity.

[0265] In some embodiments, the terminal device may report the second information to the network device via Msg1.

[0266] In some embodiments, the terminal device may report the second information to the network device via MsgA.

[0267] In some embodiments, the terminal device may distinguish different second information through different RACH resource sets, that is, different RACH resource sets correspond to different second information.

[0268] It should be noted that the terminal device may also report the second information through other uplink information specified in the protocol, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0269] By adopting the above method, when the terminal device determines that the second information needs to be reported, the terminal device can determine the second information based on the configured multiple RACH resources. In this way, the terminal device can select the most appropriate RACH resource for random access.

[0270] The method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of the above steps S201 to S204. For example, step S201 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S204 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S202 + step S203 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and step S202 + step S203 + step S204 can be implemented as independent embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0287] Step S305: The terminal device determines at least one first reporting value according to the first mapping value and the second mapping value supported by the network device.

[0288] In some embodiments, the terminal device may pre-store the second mapping value supported by the network device.

[0290] In some embodiments, the first reported value may be determined by any of the following methods:

[0291] using a second mapped value, which is greater than or equal to the first mapped value, among the second mapped values ​​as the first reported value;

[0295] Step S307: The terminal device uses a RACH resource set corresponding to a second reported value belonging to at least one first reported value among the multiple second reported values ​​as a second RACH resource set.

[0296] In some embodiments, for each second reported value among the multiple second reported values, it can be determined whether the second reported value belongs to at least one first reported value. If it is determined that the second reported value belongs to at least one first reported value, the RACH resource set corresponding to the second reported value is used as the second RACH resource set.

[0297] Step S308: The terminal device determines second information according to fourth information corresponding to at least one second RACH resource set.

[0298] In some embodiments, the second information may be determined by any of the following methods:

[0299] using a lowest value in the fourth information corresponding to the at least one second RACH resource set as the second information;

[0300] The highest value in the fourth information corresponding to the at least one second RACH resource set is used as the second information.

[0301] For example, if the fourth information is RSRP, the minimum RSRP among the RSRPs corresponding to at least one second RACH resource set can be determined, and the minimum RSRP can be used as the second information; if the fourth information is CQI, the minimum CQI among the CQIs corresponding to at least one second RACH resource set can be determined, and the minimum CQI can be used as the second information; if the fourth information is the number of repetitions, the minimum number of repetitions among the number of repetitions corresponding to at least one second RACH resource set can be determined, and the minimum number of repetitions can be used as the second information; if the fourth information includes RSRP and CQI, the average value of the RSRP and CQI corresponding to at least one second RACH resource set can be determined, and the RSRP and CQI corresponding to the minimum average value can be used as the second information.

[0302] It should be noted that the above method of determining the second information is for illustration only, and the implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0303] Step S309: The terminal device reports the second information to the network device through Msg1 or MsgA.

[0318] The optional implementation of step S406 can refer to the optional implementation of step S306 in FIG3 and other related parts in the embodiment involved in FIG3 , which will not be described in detail here.

[0319] Step S407: The terminal device determines that none of the multiple second reported values ​​belongs to at least one first reported value.

[0320] For example, if it is determined that at least one first reported value does not include any second reported value, it can be determined that multiple second reported values ​​do not belong to the at least one first reported value.

[0321] Step S408: The terminal device determines the second information according to the multiple second reported values ​​and the at least one first reported value.

[0322] In some embodiments, the second information may be determined by at least one of the following methods:

[0323] Taking a minimum value among the third reported values ​​as the second information, the third reported value including a second reported value greater than a fourth reported value among the plurality of second reported values, and the fourth reported value being a maximum value among the at least one first reported value;

[0324] The maximum value of the fifth reported value is used as the second information. The fifth reported value includes a second reported value smaller than the sixth reported value among multiple second reported values. The sixth reported value is the minimum value of the at least one first reported value.

[0325] In one implementation, the maximum value of at least one first reported value may be determined to obtain the fourth reported value, a second reported value greater than the fourth reported value may be determined from multiple second reported values ​​to obtain the third reported value, and the minimum value among the third reported values ​​may be used as the second information. For example, if at least one first reported value includes 5, 6, 7, and 8, and the second reported values ​​include 1, 2, 9, and 10, then the fourth reported value may be determined to be 8, the third reported value may include 9 and 10, and the minimum value among the third reported values ​​may be 9, i.e., the second information may be 9.

[0326] In another implementation, a minimum value among at least one first reported value may be determined to obtain the sixth reported value, a second reported value less than the sixth reported value may be determined from multiple second reported values ​​to obtain the fifth reported value, and a maximum value among the fifth reported values ​​may be used as the second information. For example, if at least one first reported value includes 5, 6, 7, and 8, and the second reported values ​​include 1, 2, 9, and 10, then the sixth reported value may be determined to be 5, the fifth reported value may include 1 and 2, and the maximum value among the fifth reported values ​​may be 2, i.e., the second information may be 2.

[0327] In another implementation, after determining the minimum value among the third reported values ​​and the maximum value among the fifth reported values, one of the minimum value among the third reported values ​​and the maximum value among the fifth reported values ​​may be selected as the second information. For example, either the minimum value among the third reported values ​​or the maximum value among the fifth reported values ​​may be used as the second information, or one of them may be determined as the second information according to protocol provisions, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0328] In some embodiments, it is determined that the plurality of second reported values ​​are all smaller than the fourth reported value, and the maximum value among the fifth reported values ​​is used as the second information.

[0329] For example, the second information can be determined preferentially through the first implementation method mentioned above. If the third reported value is not obtained, that is, multiple second reported values ​​are all smaller than the fourth reported value (there is no second reported value greater than the fourth reported value), then the second information is determined through the second implementation method, that is, the fifth reported value is determined, and the maximum value of the fifth reported value is used as the second information.

[0330] In some embodiments, it is determined that multiple first reported values ​​are all greater than the sixth reported value, and the minimum value among the third reported values ​​is used as the second information.

[0331] For example, the second information can be determined preferentially through the second implementation method mentioned above. If the fifth reported value is not obtained, that is, multiple second reported values ​​are all greater than the sixth reported value (there is no second reported value less than the sixth reported value), then the second information is determined through the first implementation method, that is, the third reported value is determined, and the minimum value of the third reported values ​​is used as the second information.

[0332] Step S409: The terminal device reports the second information to the network device through Msg1 or MsgA.

[0333] The optional implementation of step S409 can refer to the optional implementation of step S204 in FIG. 2 and other related parts in the embodiment involved in FIG. 2 , which will not be described in detail here.

As shown in Figure 17, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information reporting method, which can be executed by a communication system. The method may include:

[0594] Step S1701: The terminal device determines second information based on the first information.

[0596] Step S1702: The terminal device reports second information to the network device.

[0597] The optional implementation of step S1702 can refer to the optional implementation of step S204 in FIG. 2 and other related parts in the embodiment involved in FIG. 2 , which will not be described in detail here.

[0598] In some embodiments, the above method may include the method described in the embodiments of the above communication system, terminal equipment, network equipment, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0599] In some embodiments, the terminal device initiates a random access procedure, and the terminal device determines whether to report Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB PDCCH repetition auxiliary information based on RACH configuration and / or downlink signal quality. If reported, the reporting value is determined.

[0600] In some embodiments, the Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB repetition includes: Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB PDCCH repetition and / or Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB PDSCH repetition.

[0601] In some embodiments, the Msg2 or MsgB or Msg4 repetition auxiliary information reporting value may be one or more of the following:

[0602] Downlink signal quality, such as CQI or downlink reference point RSRP;

[0603] The recommended number of repetitions.

[0604] In some embodiments, the terminal device reports the auxiliary information through Msg1 / MsgA, and the terminal device distinguishes the content of the auxiliary information through different RACH resources.

[0605] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines one or more Msg2 / Msg4 / MsgB PDCCH repetition auxiliary information reporting values ​​that can be applied to this random access based on the downlink signal quality.

[0606] In embodiment 1, determining whether to report auxiliary information based on RACH configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0607] If CFRA resources are configured for this random access, and the CFRA resources only include RACH resources that support auxiliary information reporting;

[0608] If random access is triggered by an SI request, and the RACH resources used for the SI request only include RACH resources that support auxiliary information reporting;

[0609] If the BWP that initiates the RACH is only configured with RACH resources that support auxiliary information reporting, it is considered that the auxiliary information is reported.

[0610] In embodiment 2, the UE determines the auxiliary information reporting content based on the downlink signal quality, including at least one of the following:

[0611] The UE determines the RSRP / CQI / repetition number mapping value based on the RSRP / CQI of the downlink path loss reference point or the RSRP / CQI of the PDCCH, and the UE uses the mapping values ​​supported by all base stations greater than or equal to or less than the mapping value as the reporting value;

[0612] The UE compares the RSRP / CQI based on the downlink path loss reference point or the RSRP / CQI of the PDCCH with the RSRP / CQI threshold corresponding to each repetition number. The UE reports all repetition values ​​supported by all base stations whose RSRP / CQI threshold corresponding to the repetition number is greater than or equal to or less than the downlink RSRP / CQI measured by the UE as the reported value.

[0613] In embodiment 3, if there is only one RACH resource set that can be used to trigger all features of this random access, the UE directly selects the RACH resource set and uses the repetition number / RSRP / CQI corresponding to the RACH resource set as the reporting value.

[0614] In embodiment 4, if one or more RACH resource sets can be used to trigger all features of this random access, the number of repetitions / RSRP / CQI supported by these RACH resource sets is selected to be in the reporting value set selected in embodiment 2, and the highest / lowest repetition number / RSRP / CQI value is used as the reporting value.

[0615] In embodiment 4.1, if none of the RACH resource sets supports a repetition count / RSRP / CQI that is within the reporting value set selected in embodiment 2, at least one of the following methods is used:

[0616] (1) Selecting a minimum value from the reporting value sets supported by these RACH resource sets that is greater than the maximum value of the reporting value set selected in Example 2 as the reporting value;

[0617] For example, if the reporting value set selected in embodiment 2 is [5, 6, 7, 8] and the reporting value set supported by the RACH resource set is [1, 2, 9, 10], then 9 is selected as the reporting value.

[0618] (2) selecting a maximum value smaller than the minimum value of the reporting value set selected in Example 2 from the reporting value sets supported by these RACH resource sets as the reporting value;

[0619] For example, if the reporting value set selected in embodiment 2 is [5, 6, 7, 8] and the reporting value set supported by the RACH resource set is [1, 2, 9, 10], 2 is selected as the reporting value.

[0620] (3) A minimum value greater than the maximum value of the reporting value set selected in Example 2 is preferentially selected from the reporting value sets supported by these RACH resource sets as the reporting value; if there is no minimum value, a maximum value less than the minimum value of the reporting value set selected in Example 2 is selected from the reporting value sets supported by these RACH resource sets as the reporting value.

[0621] (4) A maximum value smaller than the minimum value of the reporting value set selected in Example 2 is preferentially selected from the reporting value sets supported by these RACH resource sets as the reporting value; if there is no maximum value, a minimum value larger than the maximum value of the reporting value set selected in Example 2 is selected from the reporting value sets supported by these RACH resource sets as the reporting value.

[0622] In embodiment 5, if no available RACH resource set can be used to trigger all features of this random access, but some features can be supported, the UE selects a resource set with the highest supported feature priority from the available RACH resource sets according to feature priority, and operates in at least one of the following ways:

[0623] If one or more resource sets are identified, but only one resource set supports auxiliary information reporting, the repetition number / RSRP / CQI corresponding to the RACH resource set is used as the selected reporting value;

[0624] If multiple resource sets are identified, and multiple resource sets support auxiliary information reporting, the reporting value is determined in accordance with the method of embodiment 4.

[0625] In embodiment 6, the RACH resource used by the UE to send the Preamble is the RACH resource corresponding to the final reporting value determined in the above manner.

[0626] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a communication system is provided, which may include a terminal device and a network device, wherein the terminal device can execute the information reporting method executed by the terminal device in the aforementioned embodiment of the present disclosure; the network device can execute the information reporting method executed by the network device in the aforementioned embodiment of the present disclosure.
