[0121] FIG2A is an interactive schematic diagram of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement method, which includes:

[0122] Step S2101: The network device sends instruction information to the terminal.

[0123] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the indication information sent by the network device. In some embodiments, the above step S2101 can be replaced by: the network device sends the indication information. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the indication information.

[0124] In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal needs to reduce the measurement of the channel. In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal needs to confirm whether it is in a low mobility state or located at the center of a cell. In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate the current service scenario of the terminal. If the current service scenario of the terminal is a preset scenario, the terminal can determine whether it needs to reduce the measurement of the channel. In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate the current service scenario of the terminal. If the current service scenario of the terminal is a preset scenario, the terminal can determine whether it is in a low mobility state or located at the center of a cell. Optionally, the preset scenario is a URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications) or XR (Extended Reality) scenario, or other scenarios, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to perform L3 (layer 3) inter-frequency measurements for mobility purposes or L1 (layer 1) measurements for beam management purposes.

[0125] In some embodiments, the present disclosure does not limit the name of the indication information, which may be, for example, configuration information, configuration signaling, indication signaling, etc.

[0126] Step S2102: The network device periodically sends a reference signal to the terminal.

[0127] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a reference signal sent by a network device. In some embodiments, the above step S2102 may also be replaced by: the network device periodically sends a reference signal. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the reference signal.

[0128] In some embodiments, the reference signal includes at least one of an SSB (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block) or a CSI-RS (Channel State Information-Reference Signal).

[0129] In some embodiments, the period of the reference signal sent by the network device to the terminal is configured by the network device to the terminal. For example, the period is 10ms, 20ms, 30ms or other values, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device periodically sends a reference signal to the terminal, and correspondingly, the terminal can measure the received reference signal.

[0131] Step S2103: If the quality difference between the first signal quality and the second signal quality is less than a first quality threshold, it is determined that the terminal is in a low mobility state.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first signal quality refers to the signal quality of the terminal at a first moment, the second signal quality refers to the signal quality of the terminal at a second moment, and the difference between the first moment and the second moment is a first duration. In some embodiments, the first signal quality or the second signal quality refers to the quality of a reference signal.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first duration is agreed upon by a communication protocol, or configured by a network device, or determined by the terminal itself, and is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0134] In some embodiments, the low mobility state means that the terminal does not move over a large range within a certain period of time. Alternatively, it can be understood that the location of the terminal does not change over a large range within a certain period of time.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the quality difference between the signal qualities at different times is less than the first quality threshold, it means that the signal quality of the terminal has not changed significantly within a certain period of time, and therefore it can be determined that the terminal is in a low mobility state.

[0136] In some embodiments, if the terminal is in a low mobility state, the degree of change in the channel measurement by the terminal is small, and the channel measurement can be appropriately reduced, as detailed in the following step S2104.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first quality threshold is configured by a network device, or determined by the terminal itself, or agreed upon by a communication protocol, or set in other ways, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0138] In some embodiments, the first signal quality adopts SS-RSRP t1 Indicates that the second signal quality uses SS-RSRP t1+t_interval Indicates that the first quality threshold is represented by SS-RSRPthreshold_lowMobility. Optionally, (SS-RSRP t1 –SS-RSRP t1+t_interval ) <SS-RSRPthreshold_lowMobility。

[0139] Optionally, SS-RSRPt1 = RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) measurement of the L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB) at time slot t1. SS-RSRPt1+t_duration = RSRP measurement of the L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB) at time slot t1+t_interval. T_interval = RSRP measurement interval. SS-RSRPthreshold_lowMobility = RSRP measurement threshold of the L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB). (SS-RSRP t1 =L3 RSRP measurement of the serving cell based on SSB(dB) on time slot t1. SS-RSRP t1+t_duration =L3 RSRP measurement of the serving cell based on SSB(dB) on time slot t1+t_interval. T_interval=RSRP measurement interval. SS-RSRPthreshold_lowMobility=L3 RSRP measurement threshold of the serving cell based on SSB (dB). )

[0140] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal determining that it is in the low mobility state refers to the terminal determining the first state.

[0141] Step S2104: The terminal is in the first state and reduces channel measurement based on the first rule.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first state is used to indicate that the terminal is in a low mobility state or is located at a cell center. In some embodiments, the above step S2103 determines that the terminal is in a low mobility state, that is, the terminal is in the first state.

[0143] In some embodiments, the first rule is used to indicate a manner of adjusting the channel measurement. In some embodiments, the first rule is used to indicate a manner of reducing the channel measurement. In some embodiments, the first rule is used to indicate a manner of reducing the channel measurement by the terminal.

[0144] In some embodiments, the terminal performs intra-frequency measurements on the channel. In some embodiments, performing intra-frequency measurements on the channel includes: the terminal performs intra-frequency measurements on the channel without performing inter-frequency measurements on the channel. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal's channel measurements include inter-frequency measurements and intra-frequency measurements. If the terminal determines that it is in the first state, it ignores inter-frequency measurements on the channel and performs only intra-frequency measurements. In some embodiments, the terminal not performing inter-frequency measurements on the channel can also be understood as the terminal ignoring inter-frequency measurements. In some embodiments, the terminal not performing frequency band measurements on the channel can also be understood as not performing inter-frequency measurements on the channel.

[0145] In some embodiments, the terminal reduces the number of measurement objects in its inter-frequency channel measurements and performs intra-frequency channel measurements. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can measure measurement objects, and by reducing the number of measurement objects, the terminal can reduce channel measurements. Since the terminal reduces the number of measurement objects, the terminal's measurement duration is shortened, further reducing interruption duration and ensuring communication reliability.

[0146] In some embodiments, the terminal extends the first measurement period for measuring the channel. Optionally, the terminal extends the first measurement period for measuring the channel to reduce channel measurements. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal extends the first measurement period for measuring the channel, thereby reducing channel measurements. Since the terminal extends the measurement period, the number of measurements performed by the terminal is reduced, further reducing the duration of interruptions and ensuring communication reliability.

[0147] Optionally, the first measurement period is expanded based on the first multiple to obtain a second measurement period, and the channel is measured based on the second measurement period. In some embodiments, the first multiple is agreed upon by a communication protocol, configured by a network device, or determined by the terminal itself, and is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0148] In some embodiments, a terminal ignores measurements of reference signals corresponding to a first number of beams in a channel, where the first number is less than a second number, and the second number refers to the number of beams corresponding to the channel. In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal reduces channel measurements by ignoring beams. Because the terminal reduces the number of beams, it measures fewer beams, further reducing interruption duration and ensuring communication reliability.

[0149] In some embodiments, the channel measurement includes at least one of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP. Optionally, the terminal reduces the L1-RSRP for the channel based on the first rule. Optionally, the terminal reduces the L3-RSRP for the channel based on the first rule.

[0150] In some embodiments, if the terminal performs FR1 measurement, the measurement period of the terminal is as shown in Table 1, where Kgap is the gap factor, MGRP is the measurement gap period, SMTC period is the window period, CSSF inter is the frequency scale factor, and Q is the scale coefficient.

[0151] Table 1

[0152] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the channel measurement reduced by the terminal based on the first rule is actually adjusting the value of Q in Table 1.

[0153] In some embodiments, if the terminal performs FR2 measurement, the measurement period of the terminal is as shown in Table 2.

[0154] Table 2

[0155] Among them, T Report is the configuration reporting period, Q is the proportional coefficient, N is the number of measured receiving beams, M is the number of receiving beams, T SSB is the reference signal period, T DRX is the DRX cycle, and DRX cycle is the DRX cycle.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the channel measurement reduced by the terminal based on the first rule is actually adjusting the value of Q in Table 2.

[0248] FIG6 is a flow chart of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG6 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement method, which includes:

[0249] Step S6101: The terminal reduces or abandons measurement to reduce data interruption.

[0250] In some embodiments, the terminal will be configured by higher layers and perform L3 inter-frequency measurements for mobility purposes and L1 measurements for beam management purposes.

[0251] From the high-level indication, the terminal can know the current working scenario, such as URLLC or XR. In this case, the terminal will detect the low mobility state. If the terminal is in the low mobility state, step S6101 is executed.

[0252] In some embodiments, in connected mode, the UE will detect low mobility from L3 measurements of the serving cell. The criteria are as follows:

[0253] (SS-RSRPt1-SS-RSRPt1+t_interval) <SS-RSRPthreshold_lowMobility.

[0254] -SS-RSRPt1=RSRP measurement value of the L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB) at time slot t1.

[0255] -ss-rsrpt1+t_duration = RSRP measurement of the L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB) in time slot t1+t_interval

[0256] -ss-rsrpt1+t_duration = RSRP measurement of the L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB) in time slot t1+t_interval

[0257] T_interval = RSRP measurement interval

[0258] -ss-rsrpthreshold_lowmobility=RSRP measurement threshold of L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB).

[0259] T_interval has several options:

[0260] Option 1: Configure from NW

[0261] Solution 2: UE decides

[0262] SS-RSRPthreshold_lowMobility has several options:

[0263] Option 1: Configure from NW

[0264] Solution 2: UE decides

[0265] For example, the UE will measure the serving unit RSRP at t1 and t1+t_interval respectively. The UE will then compare the RSRP change with the RSRP threshold. If the RSRP change is less than the threshold, the UE is in the low mobility state.

[0266] In connected mode, the UE will detect the cell center status from the L3 measurement of the serving cell. The criteria are as follows:

[0267] -SS-RSRP=RSRP measurement value of L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB).

[0268] -ss-rsrpthreshold_center=RSRP measurement threshold of L3 serving cell based on SSB (dB).

[0269] SS-RSRPthreshold_center has several options

[0270] Option 1: Configure from NW

[0271] Solution 2: UE decides

[0272] For example, the UE will measure the RSRP of the serving cell. The UE will then compare the RSRP with an RSRP threshold. If the RSRP is greater than the threshold, the UE will be in the cell center state.

[0273] In some embodiments, Option 1: The UE may skip inter-frequency measurements or extend the periodicity of the measurement gap by multiplying it by a parameter Q.

[0274] Option 2: The UE will relax the measurement period of L1 measurement by multiplying a parameter Q to avoid frequent data interruption.

[0275] Option 3: UE can skip L1-RSRP measurement for certain beam metrics

[0276] Since the UE is in a low mobility state, the optimal beam index does not change much. Therefore, the UE does not need to measure a large number of SSBs associated with many TX beams. For certain beam indices, the UE can skip L1-RSRP measurement.

[0277] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.
