[0043] In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, some relevant background knowledge is first introduced as follows.

[0044] (1) Introduction to NTN;

[0045] Non-terrestrial networks refer to networks or network segments that use satellite or unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platforms for transmission. Compared with terrestrial communication systems, satellite-based non-terrestrial communication systems have a wider coverage area. Typical applicable scenarios include situations where ground base stations cannot be built or are damaged, such as continuous coverage in remote mountainous areas, deserts, oceans, and forests, and emergency communications when ground base stations are damaged due to natural disasters.

[0046] Among them, the satellites may include low earth orbiting (LEO) satellites, medium earth orbiting (MEO) satellites, geostationary earth orbiting (GEO) satellites and highly elliptical orbiting (HEO) satellites.

[0047] There are two types of NTN communication systems: a transparent payload-based NTN communication system and a regenerative payload-based NTN communication system.

[0048] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a non-terrestrial network based on transparent forwarding in the related art. As shown in Figure 2, in this deployment environment, terminals, base stations and core network equipment are all deployed on the ground, and the communication data between the terminals and network equipment is relayed via aerial satellites. In this system, satellites are only used to forward data between base stations and terminals, and do not decode or process these data.

[0049] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a non-terrestrial network based on regenerative load in the related art. As shown in Figure 3, for the NTN communication system based on regenerative load, the satellite has some or all base station functions, can decode and process uplink or downlink data, the link between the satellite and the terminal is a service link, and the link between the satellite and the ground gateway is a feeder link.

[0050] (2) Cell deployment in NTN system;

[0051] Low-orbit satellites move in the sky over time, and two types of cell deployments are possible:

[0052] 1) Earth-moving cell: The cell (ground coverage area) moves over time;

[0053] 2) Quasi-earth-fixed cell: A cell covers one geographic area for a period of time and a different geographic area for another period of time. For example, a satellite can achieve this by generating a steerable beam.

[0054] In addition, there is another cell type, as follows:

[0055] Earth-fixed cell: A cell that consistently covers the same geographical area; for example, the cell coverage provided by geostationary satellites.

[0056] (3) Introduction to NTN beam hopping;

[0057] In the NTN communication system, due to the limited downlink transmission power of satellites, satellites need to use time-division dynamic satellite beam hopping to receive and transmit data to one or more satellite beam coverage areas. That is, the satellite receives and transmits data to one or more satellite beam coverage areas during a period of time, and receives and transmits data to another one or more satellite beam coverage areas during another period of time.

[0058] For example, a satellite has 20 satellite beam coverage areas, but the satellite cannot illuminate all 20 satellite beam coverage areas at the same time. In terms of implementation, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the beam hopping pattern in the related art. As shown in Figure 4, the satellite can illuminate satellite beam coverage areas #1 / 4 / 7 / 10 / 15 / 17 / 19 during the T1-T2 time interval (for example, there is no signal in other coverage areas), and UEs in these coverage areas can receive and transmit data normally; then, the satellite can illuminate satellite beam coverage areas #2 / 5 / 8 / 12 / 15 / 16 / 19 during the T2-T3 time interval, and so on.

[0059] The information acquisition method, terminal, and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0060] FIG5 is a flow chart of one of the information acquisition methods provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG5 , the method includes steps 501 and 502; wherein:

[0061] Step 501: The terminal obtains first information, where the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following: beam state information corresponding to a beam; beam state information corresponding to a geographical area, where the number of the beam is at least one and the number of the geographical area is at least one;

[0062] Step 502: The terminal determines at least one of the following based on the first information: beam state information corresponding to the first beam; beam state information corresponding to the first geographical area; wherein the beam includes the first beam, and the geographical area includes the first geographical area.

[0063] In NTN networks, satellites implement power sharing between beams through time-division dynamic satellite beam activation. In other words, satellites communicate within the coverage area of ​​one or more satellite beams during a specific period, and within the coverage area of ​​another or more satellite beams during another period. In this scenario, how terminals determine whether communication is possible is a challenge.

[0064] To address the above issues, an embodiment of the present application provides an information acquisition method, whereby a terminal can determine which beams are lit or the time when the beams are lit, thereby determining whether communication is possible or when communication is possible, etc.

[0065] Specifically, the terminal first obtains the first information, and the first information is used to indicate at least one of the following: beam status information corresponding to the beam; beam status information corresponding to the geographical area; the number of beams here can be at least one, and the number of geographical areas can also be at least one.

[0066] It can be understood here that the first information can indicate the beam state corresponding to the beam granularity and / or geographic area granularity. At the beam granularity, the beam state corresponding to each beam is indicated with the beam as the basic unit; at the geographic area granularity, the geographic area is covered by at least one beam, and the geographic area is used as the basic unit to indicate the beam state of the geographic area.

[0067] The terminal then determines at least one of the beam state information corresponding to the first beam and the beam state information corresponding to the first geographical area based on the first information; wherein the above-mentioned beam includes the first beam, and the geographical area includes the first geographical area.

[0068] Optionally, the terminal applies the first information after obtaining the first information, that is, after obtaining the first information, it determines at least one of the beam state information corresponding to the first beam and the beam state information corresponding to the first geographical area. This behavior can be based on protocol agreement and predefinition.

[0069] Optionally, the terminal does not apply the first information immediately after obtaining the first information, but determines when to apply the first information based on the configuration of the network side device. For example, the network side device indicates the time to apply the first information, and at the time indicated by the network side device, the terminal determines at least one of the beam state information corresponding to the first beam and the beam state information corresponding to the first geographical area. The time can be carried by an RRC message, such as an RRC message carrying the first information; for another example, the terminal applies the first information only after receiving the indication information of the network side device, and the indication is used to enable the terminal to apply the first information, and then the terminal executes the determination of at least one of the beam state information corresponding to the first beam and the beam state information corresponding to the first geographical area. The indication information can be carried by a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) MAC CE, or carried by downlink control information (DCI).

[0070] Optionally, the first beam may include at least one of the following:

[0071] <1> The beam where the terminal is located;

[0072] Specifically, the beam where the terminal is located is, for example, a beam selected by the terminal, or a beam through which the terminal communicates.

[0073] Optionally, 1) when a measurement result of a first reference signal measured by the terminal is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the terminal determines that the beam corresponding to the first reference signal is the first beam (for example, the beam where the terminal is located);

[0074] Specifically, the first reference signal is, for example, a synchronization signal block / physical broadcast channel block (Synchronization Signal / PBCH block, SSB), and the measurement result is, for example, a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP);

[0075] If the measurement result (eg RSRP) of the first reference signal (eg SSB) measured by the terminal is greater than or equal to a certain threshold, the terminal considers that the beam corresponding to the first reference signal is the beam where the terminal is located.

[0076] 2) If a measurement result of the first reference signal measured by the terminal within the eleventh time period is greater than or equal to a second threshold, the terminal determines that the beam corresponding to the first reference signal is the first beam;

[0077] 3) When measurement results of reference signals other than the first reference signal measured by the terminal are all less than or equal to a third threshold, the terminal determines that the beam corresponding to the first reference signal is the first beam;

[0078] 4) If the measurement results of the reference signals other than the first reference signal measured by the terminal within the twelfth time period are all less than or equal to a fourth threshold, the terminal determines that the beam corresponding to the first reference signal is the first beam;

[0079] 5) When the terminal detects a first transmission configuration indication state (Transmission Configuration Indication state, TCI state), the terminal determines that a beam corresponding to the first TCI state is the first beam;

[0080] Specifically, if the terminal detects a certain TCI state, the terminal considers that the beam corresponding to the TCI state is the beam where the terminal is located.

[0081] 6) When the terminal is in the coverage area of ​​the first beam, the terminal determines that the beam corresponding to the coverage area of ​​the first beam is the first beam.

[0082] <2> Candidate beams of the terminal;

[0083] Specifically, the candidate beam of the terminal may be, for example, a beam that the terminal may select in the future.

[0084] <3> at least one beam of the first cell;

[0085] <4> All beams of the first cell.

[0086] Specifically, the first information here is the first information of the first cell.

[0087] Optionally, the first geographical area may include at least one of the following:

[0088] <1> The region where the terminal is located;

[0089] Optionally, the area where the terminal is located can be obtained by at least one of the following:

[0090] 1) when the distance between the terminal's location and a third reference location is less than or equal to a fifth threshold, the terminal determines that the second geographical area is the area where the terminal is located, wherein the third reference location is the reference location in the second geographical area information;

[0091] Specifically, when a geographical area is represented by a reference position and a distance threshold, if the distance between the terminal and a third reference position is less than or equal to a threshold, the terminal is considered to be in the geographical area corresponding to the third reference position and the distance threshold.

[0092] 2) When the terminal is located within a third geographical area indicated by at least one geographical location, the terminal determines that the third geographical area is the area where the terminal is located, wherein the at least one geographical location is the geographical location in the third geographical area information.

[0093] Specifically, when a geographical area is represented by multiple geographical locations, if the terminal determines that the positioning information is within a third geographical area represented by multiple geographical locations, the terminal considers that it is within the area corresponding to the multiple geographical locations.

[0094] <2> candidate regions for the terminal;

[0095] Specifically, the candidate area of ​​the terminal may be, for example, a geographical area that the terminal may select in the future.

[0096] <3> at least one area within the coverage of the first cell;

[0097] <4> All areas within the first cell coverage.

[0098] In the information acquisition method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal first obtains the first information, and the first information is used to indicate the beam status information corresponding to the beam granularity and / or the geographical area granularity. The number of beams indicated can be at least one, and the number of geographical areas can also be at least one. The terminal then determines the beam status information corresponding to the first beam in the beam based on the first information, and / or the beam status information corresponding to the first geographical area in the geographical area. Then, the terminal can determine whether communication is possible based on the determined beam status information.

[0099] Optionally, the beam state information corresponding to the beam includes at least one of the following:

[0100] 1) a beam state corresponding to the beam, the beam state including a first state and a second state;

[0101] 2) The time the beam is in the first state;

[0102] 3) The time the beam is in the second state.

[0103] Optionally, the first state is a beam activation state, and the second state is a beam deactivation state.

[0104] Specifically, the above-mentioned beam activation state may mean that the beam is open / lit, or the power of the beam is greater than or equal to a certain threshold, or the terminal can communicate through the beam, such as sending data, receiving data, etc.;

[0105] Specifically, during the time when the beam is in the activated state, the terminal can send and / or receive data.

[0106] The above-mentioned beam deactivation state may mean that the beam is turned off, or the power of the beam is less than or equal to a certain threshold, or the terminal cannot communicate through the beam, such as sending or receiving data.

[0107] Specifically, during the time when the beam is in the deactivated state, the terminal suspends data sending and / or data reception, or the terminal can only initiate a random access process, or the terminal can only initiate an emergency service, or the terminal can only initiate a random access process triggered by an emergency service.

[0108] Optionally, the beam state information corresponding to the beam may include at least one second information, where the second information includes at least one of the following:

[0109] <1> at least one first indication, the first indication being used to indicate that at least one beam is in a first state;

[0110] Specifically, the first indication is, for example, an indication of beam activation;

[0111] For example, it can be explicitly indicated by a bit. Specifically, if the bit exists and the value is true, it indicates that the beam is activated; if the bit does not exist, it indicates that the beam is deactivated. More specifically, if the bit value is 1, it indicates that the beam is activated; if the bit value is 0, it indicates that the beam is deactivated.

[0112] For another example, it can be implicitly indicated that if the time is within the beam activation time, the terminal considers the beam to be activated; if the time is within the beam deactivation time, it indicates that the beam is deactivated; or, if the time is not within the beam deactivation time, the terminal considers the beam to be activated; if the time is not within the beam activation time, the terminal considers the beam to be deactivated.

[0113] <2> at least one second indication, the second indication being used to indicate that at least one beam is in a second state;

[0114] Specifically, the second indication is, for example, an indication of beam deactivation, which may be an explicit indication or an implicit indication. The example is the same as the first indication and will not be repeated here.

[0115] <3> first time information, where the first time information is used to indicate a time when at least one beam is in a first state;

[0116] Optionally, the first time information includes at least one of the following:

[0117] a. at least one first time; wherein the first time is indicated by at least two of the start time of at least one beam in the first state, the time interval of at least one beam in the first state, and the end time of at least one beam in the first state;

[0118] b. A second time; wherein the second time is indicated by at least two of the start moment of at least one beam being in the first state, the time interval of at least one beam being in the first state, and the end moment of at least one beam being in the first state, as well as the time period of at least one beam being in the first state.

[0119] Specifically, the first time information is, for example, beam activation time information, which can be represented by one of the following:

[0120] a. At least one first time; the first time is used to indicate the start time and end time of beam activation, etc., and may include the following information:

[0121] i) the start time of beam activation and the time interval of beam activation;

[0122] The above-mentioned start time may be an absolute time or a relative time; the absolute time may be, for example, the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time, and the relative time may be, for example, at least one of a frame, a subframe, a symbol, and a time slot.

[0123] If the start time is obtained through system information, the terminal uses the timing of the serving cell as a reference; if the first information of the target cell is obtained through a handover command, the terminal uses the timing of the target cell as a reference; taking the frame number as an example, the frame number may indicate the frame closest to the frame in which the message carrying the first information is received, or indicate the current frame in which the message carrying the first information is received, or indicate the next frame in which the message carrying the first information is received;

[0124] The time interval may be in units of minutes, seconds, milliseconds, frames, subframes, symbols, time slots, etc. The time intervals of each first time may be the same or different. If they are the same, there may be only one time interval, indicating only different start times.

[0125] For example, the first time, the start time of beam activation is 8:00, and the activation time is 10 minutes; the start time of beam activation is 9:00, the activation time is 15 minutes, the start time of beam activation is 20 minutes, and so on.

[0126] For another example, the first time indicates that the time interval is 10 minutes by default (there may be only one time interval), and indicates the start time of beam activation as 8:00, 9:00, and so on.

[0127] ii) the start time of beam activation and the end time of beam activation;

[0128] The above end time can also be a relative time or an absolute time. The specific description is the same as that of the above start time, and will not be repeated here.

[0129] b. The second time; for example, it may include the start time of beam activation, the time interval of beam activation, and the time period of beam activation.

[0130] The above-mentioned start time can be an absolute time or a relative time. As an example in the above embodiment, the units of the beam activation time interval and the beam activation time period can be minutes, seconds, milliseconds, frames, subframes, symbols, time slots, etc.

[0131] For example, the second time includes the start time of beam activation as frame number 2, the time interval of beam activation is 50ms, and the time period of beam activation is 200ms. Therefore, the terminal can determine that the time of beam activation is 50ms after the second frame, the time of the next activation is 200ms later, and so on.

[0132] It can be understood that the time other than the time when the beam is in the beam activation state is the time when the beam is in the beam deactivation state.

[0134] Optionally, the second time information includes at least one of the following:

[0135] a. at least one third time; wherein the third time is indicated by at least two of the start time of at least one beam in the second state, the time interval of at least one beam in the second state, and the end time of at least one beam in the second state;

[0136] b. A fourth time; wherein the fourth time is indicated by at least two of the start moment of at least one beam being in the second state, the time interval of at least one beam being in the second state, and the end moment of at least one beam being in the second state, as well as the time period of at least one beam being in the second state.

[0137] Specifically, the time when the beam is in the second state is, for example, the time when the beam is deactivated. The above-mentioned start time can be explicitly indicated or implicitly indicated. The relevant details of the displayed indication are similar to the first indication of the above-mentioned embodiment and will not be repeated here; for implicit indication, for example, the terminal considers the start time to be the boundary of receiving the message containing the first information. Specifically, for example, if the first information is carried through system information, the start time is the end boundary of the system information window (SI window) for scheduling the system information.

[0138] The relevant details of the above time interval and end time are the same as those described in the first time information and will not be repeated here.

[0140] Specifically, the second information may be pattern information of the beam.

[0141] In some embodiments, the network side device can provide at least one second information to the terminal (for example, through system information) to dynamically instruct the terminal to use one / more second information. The dynamic indication can be indicated through DCI, MAC CE, for example.

[0142] It should be noted that, for a beam, the first time information is used to indicate the time when the beam is in the first state, such as the time when the beam is in the beam activation state, and the second time information is used to indicate the time when the beam is in the second state, such as the time when the beam is in the beam deactivation state. As long as one of these two times is determined, the other can be inferred. Figure 6 is a time diagram of the activation / deactivation state in the information acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, taking the periodic activation / deactivation of the beam as an example, the time when the beam is in the beam activation state and the time when the beam is in the beam deactivation state together constitute a period of the beam. If the time when the beam is in the beam activation state is determined, it is equivalent to determining the time when the beam is in the beam deactivation state.

[0146] For example, the association between the pattern information of the beam and the beam can be expressed as follows: the pattern information includes the corresponding beam information.

[0147] Specifically, each element in the first list includes: pattern information and at least one beam information; if the pattern information and the beam information constitute an element in the first list (that is, the fourth information), it means that the beam indicated by the beam information corresponds to the pattern information.

In one implementation method, if the value of a bit in the first bitmap is 1, it means that the beam corresponding to the bit corresponds to the pattern information; if the value of a bit in the first bitmap is 0, it means that the beam corresponding to the bit does not correspond to the pattern information.

[0156] For example, each element in the fifth list (ie, the seventh information) includes: an index / identifier (ID) corresponding to the beam information and the pattern information, and the index / ID corresponding to the specific pattern information may be determined by the sixth list;

[0157] The above indexing method is, for example: if the index is 1, it corresponds to the first element in the index list; if the index is 2, it corresponds to the second element in the index list, and so on, wherein each element in the index list can be pattern information;

Specifically, for example, if the bit exists and takes the value true, it indicates that it is in the beam activation state; if the bit does not exist, it indicates that it is in the beam deactivation state. For another specific example, if the bit takes the value 1, it indicates that it is in the beam activation state; if the bit takes the value 0, it indicates that it is in the beam deactivation state. For example, it can be implicitly indicated that if the time is within the beam activation time, the terminal considers that it is in the beam activation state; if the time is within the beam deactivation time, it indicates that it is in the beam deactivation state; or if the time is not within the beam deactivation time, the terminal considers that it is in the beam activation state; if the time is not within the beam deactivation time, the terminal considers that it is in the beam deactivation state.

[0329] For another example, each element in the fourth list includes: the index / ID corresponding to the beam information and the pattern information; if the index / ID corresponding to the pattern information and the beam information constitute an element in the fourth list, it means that the beam indicated by the beam information corresponds to the pattern information indicated by the index / ID.

[0332] Method 4: Represented by the first identifier, the second identifier, and the third identifier;

[0333] For example, the elements of the seventh list include at least one first identifier and a second identifier; the first identifier is used to identify the beam, and the second identifier is used to identify the pattern information; if the first identifier and the second identifier constitute an element in the seventh list, it means that the beam corresponding to the first identifier is associated with the pattern information corresponding to the second identifier.
