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

[0129] The following describes and explains the terms involved in this disclosure.

[0130] 1. Introduction to RRM measurement:

[0131] The measurement quantities in RRM measurement may include: reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the synchronization signal block, reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), reference signal strength indicator (RSSI), etc.

[0132] The measurement quantity may also include RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, or RSSI of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), or RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, or RSSI of other reference signals.

[0133] The measurement quantity may also include: channel status information (CSI), channel quality indicator (CQI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI), precoding type indicator (PTI), diversity indication (RI), CSI-RS resource index (CSI-RS index, CRI), etc.

[0134] The synchronization signal block may also be referred to as a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SS / PBCH) block. A synchronization signal block may include at least one of the following: PBCH, primary synchronization signal (PSS), or secondary synchronization signal (SSS). A synchronization signal block may also be referred to as an SSB, SS / PBCH block, or SS block.

[0135] 2. Introduction to the measurement cycle of RRM measurement:

[0136] When in the RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED), the terminal needs to perform intra-frequency or inter-frequency cell measurements to monitor the network coverage in the current environment. The protocol specifies the measurement period for intra-frequency measurement and inter-frequency measurement respectively. Table 1 shows the measurement period for gapless intra-frequency measurement in FR1, Table 2 shows the measurement period for gapless intra-frequency measurement in FR2, Table 3 shows the measurement period for gap-free inter-frequency measurement in FR1, and Table 4 shows the measurement period for gap-free inter-frequency measurement in FR2.

[0137] Table 1: Measurement period for gapless frequency measurement (frequency FR1)

[0138] Table 2: Measurement period for gapless frequency measurement (frequency FR2)

[0139] Among them, DRX cycle (Discontinuous Reception cycle) is the discontinuous reception cycle, TSSB_measurement_period_intra is the time period for the terminal to measure the same frequency cell, SMTC (SSB measurement timing configurations) period is the period based on SSB measurement timing configuration, MGRP (Measurement Gap Repetition Period) is the period of the measurement gap, CSSF intra (Carrier Specific Scaling Factor) Carrier specific scaling factor of the same frequency, K p is the scaling factor in the absence of a measurement gap. meas_period_w / o_gaps is a constant determined according to the power type, K layer1_measurement Indicates the scale factor for layer 1 measurements.

[0140] Table 3: Measurement period for inter-frequency measurement with gap (frequency FR1)

[0141] Table 4: Measurement period for inter-frequency measurement with gap (frequency FR2)

[0142] Among them, DRX cycle (Discontinuous Reception cycle) is the discontinuous reception cycle, TSSB_measurement_period_inter is the time period for the terminal to measure the inter-frequency cell, SMTC (SSB measurement timing configurations) period is the period based on the SSB measurement timing configuration, MGRP (Measurement Gap Repetition Period) is the period of the measurement gap, CSSF inter (Carrier Specific Scaling Factor) carrier-specific scaling factor of different frequencies, K gap is the scaling factor determined based on the measurement gap. meas_period_inter is a constant determined according to the power type.

[0143] During the RRM measurement process, a terminal must rely on multiple measurements to obtain a valid result, resulting in long measurement cycles and low measurement efficiency, which in turn affects terminal handovers. Furthermore, handovers performed by the terminal based on valid measurement results are based on historically reported measurement results, making this an essentially responsive solution. High terminal mobility can lead to issues such as increased handover failures, radio link failures, and ping-pong handovers.

[0144] To address the above technical issues, the present disclosure provides a communication method, terminal, network device, communication system, and storage medium. These methods predict measurement results and replace actual measurement results with predicted ones, effectively reducing the measurement cycle. Furthermore, replacing actual measurements with predictions also allows for free measurement opportunities to be used for measuring other frequencies. By combining actual and predicted measurement results to produce a valid measurement result, measurement efficiency is improved while ensuring measurement accuracy.

[0145] In some embodiments, the terminal may obtain multiple first measurement results based on at least one of the first ratio, the second ratio, and the first pattern, and then obtain the second measurement result.

[0146] In some embodiments, the second measurement result is the final measurement result sent by the terminal to the network device. In some embodiments, the second measurement result may also be referred to as a valid measurement result.

[0147] In some embodiments, the first proportion is a proportion of the first measurement result obtained based on the measurement in the plurality of first measurement results.

[0148] In some embodiments, the first measurement result obtained based on the measurement can be described as a measurement sample, and the first proportion is the proportion of the measurement sample in the plurality of first measurement results.

[0149] In some embodiments, the second proportion is the proportion of the first measurement result obtained based on the prediction in the plurality of first measurement results.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first measurement result obtained based on the prediction can be described as a prediction sample, and the second proportion is the proportion of the prediction sample in the multiple first measurement results.

[0151] In some embodiments, all first measurement results may include only predicted samples and measured samples. In this case, the first proportion and the second proportion are mutually correlated. It can be understood that the second proportion can be obtained based on the first proportion, and the first proportion can also be obtained based on the second proportion.

[0152] In one example, the sum of the first proportion and the second proportion is 1. First proportion = 1 - second proportion, second proportion = 1 - first proportion.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first percentage can be any value between a first value and a second value, wherein the first value is 0 or 0%, and the second value is 1 or 100%.

[0154] In one example, a first numerical value of the first ratio indicates that the plurality of first measurement results do not contain the measurement sample, or indicates that the terminal does not perform measurement. In this case, it can be understood that the terminal determines the second measurement result based on the plurality of predicted samples, or determines the second measurement result based on the plurality of predicted samples and a plurality of other samples obtained by other means.

[0155] In one example, if the first proportion is not the second value, it means that the multiple first measurement results include one or more measurement samples, or it means that the terminal performs one or more measurements. In this case, it can be understood that the terminal determines the second measurement result based on multiple measurement samples.

[0156] In some embodiments, the plurality of first measurement results may include predicted samples, measured samples, and samples obtained based on other methods. In this case, the first proportion is not associated with the second proportion.

[0157] FIG2A is an interactive diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the present disclosure embodiment relates to a communication method. Executed by a communication system 100, the communication method includes steps S2101 to S2104.

[0158] In this embodiment, the process of determining the second measurement result based on the first ratio is described by taking the first ratio as an example.

[0159] In some embodiments, the first ratio in the following steps S2101 to S2104 can also be replaced by the second ratio. In this case, it can be understood that the second measurement result can also be determined based on the second ratio. The following embodiments involving the first ratio can also be applied to the second ratio.

[0160] In step S2101, the network device sends a first ratio.

[0161] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a first ratio.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first proportion can be expressed as a percentage. In one example, the first proportion is 60%, indicating that the proportion of the measurement sample in the multiple first measurement results is 60%. The first proportion can also be expressed as a decimal. In one example, the first proportion is 0.2, indicating that the proportion of the measurement sample in all the first measurement results is 0.2.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first ratio is carried in first configuration information, and the first configuration information may be one of the following: measurement configuration, measurement object configuration, and reporting configuration.

[0164] In one example, the measurement configuration includes the first ratio, and the measurement configuration can be measurement configuration or measConfig. In one example, the measurement object configuration includes the first ratio, and the measurement object configuration can be measurement object configuration or measobjectConfig. In one example, the reporting configuration includes the first ratio, and the reporting configuration can be report configuration or reportConfig.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first ratio is configured according to at least one of the following: terminal, frequency to be measured, and frequency range. It can be understood that different terminals correspond to different first ratios, different frequencies to be measured correspond to different first ratios, and different frequency ranges correspond to different first ratios.

[0166] In one example, the first proportion is represented by X, and the first proportion corresponding to terminal A is X A , for example X A =60%, the first proportion corresponding to terminal B is X B , for example X B =10%. In one example, the first proportion corresponding to the measured frequency f1 is X f1 , for example X f1 =5%, the first proportion corresponding to the measured frequency f2 is X f2 , for example X f2=0%. In one example, the first proportion corresponding to the frequency range FR1 is X FR1 , for example X FR1 =99%, the first proportion corresponding to the frequency range FR2 is X FR2 , for example X FR2 =50%.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first proportion may be determined based on a first capability of the terminal.

[0168] In some embodiments, before step S2101, the terminal may send the first capability of the terminal to the network device, and the network device sends the first proportion based on the first capability of the terminal.

[0169] In some embodiments, the first capability of the terminal may include at least one of the following: the terminal's support capability for determining a second measurement result based on a predicted sample and a measured sample (hereinafter referred to as capability one), the terminal's support capability for the first ratio (hereinafter referred to as capability two), and the terminal's support capability for obtaining the first measurement result based on prediction (hereinafter referred to as capability three). It is understandable that the network device may send the first ratio based on at least one of capability one, capability two, and capability three.

[0170] In some embodiments, capability 1 can be understood as: whether the terminal supports determining the second measurement result based on the predicted sample and the measured sample. Then, capability 1 can indicate support for determining the second measurement result based on the predicted sample and the measured sample, or can indicate not supporting determining the second measurement result based on the predicted sample and the measured sample.

[0171] In some embodiments, when capability 1 indicates that the terminal supports determining the second measurement result based on the predicted sample and the measured sample, the first percentage sent by the network device can be any value between the first value (inclusive) and the second value (inclusive). In one example, the first value is 0 or 0%, and the second value is 1 or 100%.

[0172] In some embodiments, when capability 1 indicates that the terminal does not support determining the second measurement result based on the predicted sample and the measured sample, the first percentage sent by the network device is the first value or the second value. In one example, the first value is 0 or 0%, and the second value is 1 or 100%.

[0173] In some embodiments, capability 2 can be understood as: the value of the first percentage supported by the terminal, and / or the expression form of the first percentage supported by the terminal. Capability 2 can indicate one or more values ​​of the first percentage supported by the terminal, or it can indicate that the terminal supports the first percentage expressed as a percentage and / or a decimal.

[0174] In some embodiments, if capability 2 indicates that the terminal supports only one first ratio, the network device sends the first ratio supported by the terminal to the terminal. If capability 2 indicates that the terminal supports multiple first ratios, the network device may select one or more from the multiple first ratios supported by the terminal to send. The network device may also send multiple first ratios, and the terminal selects one from the multiple first ratios based on its own capability 2, thereby obtaining a second measurement result.

[0175] In some embodiments, capability three can be understood as whether the terminal supports obtaining the first measurement result based on prediction. Capability three can indicate that the terminal supports obtaining the first measurement result based on prediction. In this case, the first percentage can be any value. Capability three can also indicate that the terminal does not support obtaining the first measurement result based on prediction. In this case, the first percentage is 1 or 100%, that is, only measurement is performed, not prediction.

[0176] In some embodiments, step S2101 may be omitted, and in this case, the first percentage may be obtained by the terminal itself. It can be understood that the terminal may obtain the first percentage without interacting with the network device.

[0177] In some embodiments, the terminal may obtain the first proportion based on a protocol agreement.

[0178] In some embodiments, the terminal may also obtain the first ratio based on the terminal's support capability for the first ratio. If the terminal supports only one first ratio, the terminal determines the second measurement result based on the supported first ratio. If the terminal supports multiple first ratios, the terminal may select one of the multiple first ratios to determine the second measurement result.

[0179] In some embodiments, the terminal may also obtain the first proportion based on terminal implementation.

[0180] In some embodiments, the terminal may also obtain the first proportion based on the configuration of the network device at a historical moment.

[0181] In some embodiments, the network device may further send a second ratio.

[0182] In some embodiments, the second ratio is carried in the first configuration information, and the first configuration information may be one of the following: measurement configuration, measurement object configuration, and reporting configuration.

[0183] In some embodiments, the second proportion is based on at least one of the following: a terminal, a frequency to be measured, and a frequency range.

[0184] In some embodiments, the second proportion may be determined based on the first capability of the terminal.

[0185] In some embodiments, before the network device sends the second percentage, the terminal may send the first capability of the terminal to the network device, and the network device sends the second percentage based on the first capability of the terminal.

[0186] In some embodiments, the step of the network device sending the second ratio can be omitted, and the second ratio can be obtained by the terminal itself. It can be understood that the terminal can obtain the first ratio without interacting with the network device.

[0187] In step S2102, the terminal determines a second measurement cycle and / or measurement opportunity based on the first ratio.

[0188] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the second measurement period based on the first ratio. In this case, the measurement opportunity can be determined based on the provisions of an existing protocol, based on network configuration, based on terminal implementation, or predefined.

[0189] In some embodiments, the terminal may obtain a second measurement period by multiplying the first measurement period by the first ratio. The second measurement period includes the sum of durations corresponding to the first measurement results obtained based on the measurements in the plurality of first measurement results.

[0190] In one embodiment, the first measurement period may be determined based on a provision of an existing protocol, may be configured by a network, may be determined based on a terminal implementation of a terminal, or may be predefined.

[0191] In some embodiments, when the first ratio is greater than 0 (which may also be described as the first ratio is not equal to 0), the second measurement period is calculated based on the calculation methods shown in Tables 5 to 8 in the following examples.

[0192] In one example, X represents the first proportion, and the calculation method of the second measurement period (frequency FR1) measured within the gapless frequency is shown in the following table:

[0193] Table 5: Second measurement cycle of gapless frequency measurement (frequency FR1)

[0194] In one example, X represents the first ratio, and the calculation method of the second measurement period (frequency FR2) measured within the gapless frequency is shown in the following table:

[0195] Table 6: Second measurement cycle of gapless intra-frequency measurement (frequency FR2)

[0196] In one example, X represents the first proportion, and the second measurement period (frequency FR1) of the gap frequency measurement is calculated as shown in the following table:

[0197] Table 7: Second measurement cycle of inter-frequency measurement with gap (frequency FR1)

[0198] In one example, X represents the first proportion, and the second measurement period (frequency FR2) of the gap frequency measurement is calculated as shown in the following table:

[0199] Table 8: Second measurement cycle (frequency FR2) for inter-frequency measurement with gaps

[0200] In some embodiments, when the first ratio is equal to 0, the second measurement period is calculated based on the calculation methods shown in Tables 9 to 12 in the following examples.

[0201] In one example, X represents the first proportion, and the calculation method of the second measurement period (frequency FR1) measured within the gapless frequency is shown in the following table:

[0202] Table 9: Second measurement cycle of gapless frequency measurement (frequency FR1)

[0203] In one example, X represents the first ratio, and the calculation method of the second measurement period (frequency FR2) measured within the gapless frequency is shown in the following table:

[0204] Table 10: Second measurement cycle for gapless frequency measurement (frequency FR2)

[0205] In one example, X represents the first proportion, and the second measurement period (frequency FR1) of the gap frequency measurement is calculated as shown in the following table:

[0206] Table 11: Second measurement cycle of inter-frequency measurement with gap (frequency FR1)

[0207] In one example, X represents the first proportion, and the second measurement period (frequency FR2) of the gap frequency measurement is calculated as shown in the following table:

[0208] Table 12: Second measurement cycle (frequency FR2) for inter-frequency measurement with gaps

[0209] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the measurement opportunity based on the first ratio. In this case, the second measurement period may be the first measurement period.

[0210] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the number of times to perform measurements based on the first ratio; and determines a measurement opportunity within a first measurement period based on the number of times measurements are performed. In some embodiments, the first measurement period can be determined based on provisions of an existing protocol, can be configured by the network, can be determined based on terminal implementation, or can be predefined.

[0211] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the second measurement period and the measurement opportunity based on the first ratio. The method for determining the second measurement period and the method for determining the measurement opportunity can refer to the above embodiments and will not be described in detail here.

[0212] In some embodiments, the terminal may further determine a second measurement period and / or measurement opportunity based on the second ratio.

[0213] In step S2103, the terminal determines a plurality of first measurement results based on the second measurement cycle and / or measurement opportunity.

[0214] In some embodiments, the terminal performs measurement according to measurement opportunities in the second measurement period to obtain measurement samples.

[0215] In some embodiments, the terminal may further determine a second ratio based on the first ratio, and perform prediction based on the second ratio to obtain predicted samples, thereby determining a plurality of first measurement results including measurement samples and predicted samples.

[0216] In some embodiments, the predicted sample may be predicted based on a first prediction model.

[0217] In some embodiments, the first prediction model may be an AI model, an ML model, or other models.

[0218] In some embodiments, when a terminal obtains a second measurement result for a first cell or a first frequency, the terminal may obtain one or more first measurement samples, where the first measurement samples are obtained by the terminal performing one or more measurements on the first cell or the first frequency. The terminal inputs the one or more first measurement samples into a first prediction model to obtain first prediction samples. Based on the first measurement samples and / or the first prediction samples, the terminal obtains the second measurement result for the first cell or the first frequency.

[0219] In some embodiments, when the terminal obtains a second measurement result for the first cell or the first frequency, the terminal may obtain a second measurement sample, where the second measurement sample is obtained by the terminal performing one or more measurements on the second cell or the second frequency. The terminal may input one or more second measurement samples into the first prediction model to obtain a second prediction sample. Based on the first measurement sample and / or the second prediction sample, the second measurement result for the first cell or the first frequency is obtained. That is, the prediction sample can be obtained based on the measurement sample associated with the target cell to be measured (e.g., the first cell) or the target frequency (e.g., the first frequency), or based on the measurement sample associated with other cells (e.g., the second cell) or other frequencies (e.g., the second frequency).

[0220] In some embodiments, the first proportion is associated with the first prediction model, and different values ​​of the first proportion correspond to different prediction models; the second proportion is associated with the first prediction model, and different values ​​of the second proportion correspond to different prediction models.

[0221] In one example, the first proportion X1 corresponds to the first prediction model M1, and the first proportion X2 corresponds to the second prediction model M2. In one example, the second proportion Y1 corresponds to the first prediction model M1, and the second proportion Y2 corresponds to the second prediction model M2.

[0222] In some embodiments, when the first ratio is not equal to 0 (which may also be described as the first ratio being greater than 0), the first ratio indicates that one or more measurements are performed, or the first ratio indicates that the multiple first measurement results include one or more measurement samples.

[0223] In some embodiments, when the first ratio is equal to 0, the first ratio indicates that measurement is not performed, or the first ratio indicates that the plurality of first measurement results do not include measurement samples.

[0224] In some embodiments, when one or more measurements are performed according to the first ratio indication, one or more measurements are performed according to the measurement opportunity within the second measurement period to obtain one or more measurement samples. When at least one prediction is performed according to the second ratio indication determined based on the first ratio, at least one prediction is performed to obtain at least one predicted sample. In this case, multiple measurement samples and at least one predicted sample constitute multiple first measurement results, thereby obtaining a second measurement result. In this way, some measurement samples in the RRM measurement are replaced by predicted samples, thereby effectively reducing the measurement period. At the same time, by replacing actual measurements with predictions, idle measurement opportunities can also be obtained for measuring other frequencies. By combining measurement samples with predicted samples to obtain a valid measurement result, the efficiency of the measurement can be improved while the accuracy of the measurement can be effectively guaranteed.

[0225] In some embodiments, when multiple measurements are performed within the second measurement cycle, the time to perform the prediction is determined based on the time interval between each measurement. In one example, the time to perform the prediction can be within the time interval between each measurement or after the time interval between each measurement.

[0226] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the order and time location of performing measurements and predictions based on protocol provisions, or may determine the order and time location of performing measurements and predictions based on terminal implementation, or may determine the order and time location based on network configuration.

[0227] In one example, if the first percentage X is 60% and the number of first measurement results is 5, then three measurements are required based on the first percentage, resulting in three measurement samples. If the second percentage is 40% based on the first percentage, then two predictions are required based on the second percentage, resulting in two prediction samples. In this case, the five first measurement results can be obtained using the following procedure as shown in Figure 2C: {measurement, measurement, prediction, measurement, prediction}.

[0228] In an example, the time interval between each of the three measurements is s seconds. The terminal may perform a first prediction after the first s seconds and a second prediction after the second s seconds.

[0229] In an example, the five first measurement results may also be obtained through other methods, such as: {measurement, measurement, measurement, prediction, prediction}, for example: {measurement, prediction, measurement, prediction, prediction}.

[0230] In some embodiments, when the first ratio indicates that no measurement should be performed, a second ratio is determined based on the first ratio to indicate that at least one prediction should be performed. The at least one prediction is then performed to obtain at least one prediction sample. In this case, the at least one prediction sample constitutes multiple first measurement results. By replacing all measurement samples in the RRM measurement with prediction samples, the measurement cycle can be significantly reduced, improving measurement efficiency.

[0231] In one example, the first proportion X is 0%, the number of the plurality of first measurement results is 5, and the second proportion is determined to be 100% based on the first proportion. Then, five predictions are performed based on the second proportion to obtain five prediction samples. In this case, the five first measurement results can be obtained as follows: {prediction, prediction, prediction, prediction, prediction}.

[0232] In step S2104, the terminal determines a second measurement result based on the multiple first measurement results.

[0233] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the second measurement result based on at least one of the following: an average value of multiple first measurement results (denoted as M), an average value of predicted samples (denoted as A), an average value of measured samples (denoted as B), a first proportion (denoted as X), a second proportion (denoted as Y), and a first parameter (k).

[0234] In some embodiments, before step S2103 , the terminal determines a first parameter, where the first parameter is used to adjust weights of the measured samples and the predicted samples in the plurality of first measurement results.

[0235] In some embodiments, the first parameter may be determined based on a network configuration, a protocol specification, or a terminal implementation.

[0236] In an example, when the plurality of first measurement results only include prediction samples, the terminal determines the second measurement result based on an average value of the prediction samples.

[0237] In an example, when the multiple first measurement results include predicted samples and measured samples, the terminal determines the second measurement result based on one of the following methods:

[0238] Method 1: The second measurement result = M.

[0239] Method 2: The second measurement result = B×X×k+A×Y×(1-k).

[0240] Method three: the second measurement result = B×X×(1-k)+A×Y×k.

[0241] Method 4: Second measurement result = B×k+A×(1-k).

[0242] Method 5: Second measurement result = B×(1-k)+A×k.

[0243] In an example, when the number of the plurality of first measurement results is 5 and the first proportion X=0, the terminal performs 5 predictions to obtain 5 prediction samples, and obtains the second measurement result based on the 5 prediction samples.

[0244] In one example, when the number of multiple first measurement results is 5 and the first proportion X=0.2, the terminal performs 1 measurement and 4 predictions to obtain 1 measurement sample and 4 prediction samples, and obtains the second measurement result based on the 1 measurement sample and the 4 prediction samples.

[0245] The communication method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2101 to S2104. For example, step S2101 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2102 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2103 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2104 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2102 and step S2103 can be combined to implement as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2103 and step S2104 can be combined to implement as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2102, step S2103, and step S2104 can be combined to implement as an independent embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0246] FIG2B is an interactive diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2B , the present disclosure embodiment relates to a communication method. Executed by the communication system 100, the communication method includes steps S2201 to S2204.

[0247] In step S2201, the network device sends a first pattern.

[0248] In some embodiments, the terminal receives a first pattern.

[0249] In some embodiments, the first pattern is used to indicate predicted samples obtained based on prediction and / or measured samples obtained based on measurement.

[0250] In some embodiments, the first pattern includes at least one first value and / or at least one second value, the first value represents a measurement sample obtained based on measurement, and the second value represents a prediction sample obtained based on prediction.

[0251] In some embodiments, the first pattern may indicate the number of executions of obtaining predicted samples based on prediction and / or obtaining measured samples based on measurement, and may also indicate the execution order of obtaining predicted samples based on prediction and obtaining measured samples based on measurement.

[0252] In one example, the first value is 1, the second value is 0, and the first pattern is 11100, which indicates that five first measurement results need to be obtained, including three measurement samples and two prediction samples. The first three measurements are performed, and the last two are performed for prediction.

[0253] In some embodiments, the network device may also send third information, where the third information is used to indicate the first pattern. The terminal determines the first pattern based on the third information.

[0254] In some embodiments, the third information may be an index (eg, index), and different indexes correspond to different first patterns. In one example, index1 indicates 11100, and index2 indicates 10101.

[0255] In some embodiments, the first pattern is carried in first configuration information, and the first configuration information may be one of the following: measurement configuration, measurement object configuration, and reporting configuration.

[0256] In some embodiments, the first pattern is configured according to at least one of the following: terminal, measured frequency, and frequency range. It can be understood that different terminals correspond to different first patterns, different measured frequencies correspond to different first patterns, and different frequency ranges correspond to different first patterns.

[0257] In one example, the first pattern (eg, pattern) is represented by P, and the first pattern corresponding to terminal A is P A , for example, P A =11001, the first pattern corresponding to terminal B is P B , for example, P B =11110. In one example, the first pattern corresponding to the frequency f1 to be measured is P f1 , for example, P f1 =11000, the first pattern corresponding to the measured frequency f2 is X f2 , for example, P f2 =10100. In one example, the first pattern corresponding to the frequency range FR1 is X FR1 , for example, P FR1 =11001, the first pattern corresponding to the frequency range FR2 is X FR2 , for example, P FR2 =10001.

[0258] In some embodiments, before step S2101 , the terminal may send the first capability of the terminal to the network device, and the network device sends the first pattern based on the first capability of the terminal.

[0259] In some embodiments, the first capability of the terminal may include at least one of the following: the terminal's ability to support determining a second measurement result based on a predicted sample and a measured sample (hereinafter referred to as capability one); the terminal's ability to support obtaining a first measurement result based on a prediction (hereinafter referred to as capability three); and the terminal's ability to support a first pattern (hereinafter referred to as capability four). It can be understood that the network device can send the first pattern based on capabilities one, three, and four.

[0260] In some embodiments, capability four may be understood as: the number of first patterns supported by the terminal, and / or specific values ​​of the first patterns supported by the terminal.

[0261] In some embodiments, when capability 4 indicates that the terminal supports only one first pattern, the network device sends the first pattern supported by the terminal to the terminal. When capability 4 indicates that the terminal supports multiple first patterns, the network device may select one or more first patterns supported by the terminal to send.

[0262] In some embodiments, step S2201 may be omitted, in which case the first pattern may be obtained by the terminal itself. It can be understood that the terminal may obtain the first pattern without interacting with the network device.

[0263] In some embodiments, the terminal may obtain the first pattern based on a protocol agreement.

[0264] In some embodiments, the terminal may also obtain the first pattern based on the terminal's support capability for the first pattern. If the terminal supports only one first pattern, the terminal determines the second measurement result based on the supported first pattern. If the terminal supports multiple first patterns, the terminal may select one of the multiple first patterns to determine the second measurement result.

[0265] In some embodiments, the terminal may also obtain the first pattern based on terminal implementation.

[0266] In some embodiments, the terminal may also obtain the first pattern based on the configuration of the network device at a historical moment.

[0267] In step S2202, the terminal determines a second measurement period and / or measurement opportunity based on the first pattern.

[0268] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a first ratio based on the first pattern, and determines a second measurement period based on the first ratio. In this case, the measurement opportunity can be determined based on existing protocol provisions, network configuration, or terminal implementation. For an embodiment of determining the second measurement period based on the first ratio, see the embodiment related to the second measurement period in FIG. 2A , and will not be further described here.

[0269] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the measurement opportunity based on the first pattern. In this case, the second measurement period can be determined based on an existing protocol, a network configuration, or a terminal implementation.

[0270] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a measurement opportunity within a first measurement period based on the number of times the measurement is performed indicated by the first pattern. In some embodiments, the first measurement period may be determined based on provisions of an existing protocol.

[0271] In step S2203, the terminal determines a plurality of first measurement results based on the second measurement cycle and / or measurement opportunity.

[0272] The optional implementation of step S2203 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2103 in Figure 2A and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2A, which will not be repeated here.

[0273] In step S2204, the terminal determines a second measurement result based on the multiple first measurement results.

[0274] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the second measurement result based on at least one of the following: an average value of multiple first measurement results (denoted as M), an average value of predicted samples (denoted as A), an average value of measured samples (denoted as B), a first proportion (denoted as X), a second proportion (denoted as Y), and a first parameter (k). The first proportion and the second proportion may be calculated based on the first pattern.

[0275] In some embodiments, before step S2103 , the terminal determines a first parameter, where the first parameter is used to adjust weights of the measured samples and the predicted samples in the plurality of first measurement results.

[0276] In some embodiments, the first parameter may be determined based on a network configuration, a protocol specification, or a terminal implementation.

[0277] In some embodiments, when the second measurement result is determined based on the following method, the terminal needs to calculate the first ratio and the second ratio based on the first pattern:

[0278] (1) Second measurement result = B×X×k+A×Y×(1−k).

[0279] (2) Second measurement result = B×X×(1-k)+A×Y×k.

[0280] (3) Second measurement result = B×k+A×(1−k).

[0281] (4) Second measurement result = B×(1−k)+A×k.

[0282] In some embodiments, when the second measurement result is determined based on the following method, the terminal does not need to calculate the first ratio and the second ratio based on the first pattern:

[0283] (5) Second measurement result = A.

[0284] (6) Second measurement result = M.

[0285] In one example, when the number of the multiple first measurement results is 5 and the first pattern is 00000 (0 represents prediction), the terminal performs 5 predictions to obtain 5 prediction samples, and obtains the second measurement result based on the 5 prediction samples.

[0286] In one example, when the number of multiple first measurement results is 5 and the first pattern is 10100 (0 represents prediction, 1 represents measurement), the terminal performs measurement for the first time, performs prediction for the second time, performs measurement for the third time, performs prediction for the fourth and fifth times, obtains 2 measurement samples and 3 prediction samples, and obtains the second measurement result based on the 2 measurement samples and 3 prediction samples.

[0287] The communication method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2201 to S2204. For example, step S2201 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2203 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2204 can be implemented as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2202 and step S2203 can be combined to implement as an independent embodiment. For example, step S2203 and step S2204 can be combined to implement as an independent embodiment.

[0357] In some embodiments, the terminal obtains a valid measurement result based on the predicted measurement result and the actual measurement result.

[0358] In some embodiments, the predicted measurement results (which may be referred to as predicted samples for short) and the actual measurement results (which may be referred to as measurement samples for short) may be at a cell level or a beam level.

[0359] In some embodiments, based on the predicted sample ratio corresponding to the predicted sample (which may also be the measured sample ratio corresponding to the measured sample) agreed upon by the network configuration or protocol, actual measurement and prediction are performed to obtain measured samples and predicted samples, and a valid measurement result is obtained based on the measured samples and predicted samples.

[0360] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the second measurement period and / or measurement opportunity based on the predicted sample ratio (and / or the measured sample ratio).

[0361] In some embodiments, the second measurement period is the time required for the terminal to obtain a valid measurement result. During the second measurement period, the terminal performs measurement to obtain multiple measurement samples.

[0362] In some embodiments, the predicted sample ratio (and / or the measured sample ratio) may be configured by the network or agreed upon by a protocol, or may be determined by the terminal based on implementation or terminal capabilities.

[0363] In some embodiments, the predicted sample ratio (and / or measured sample ratio) may be included in information elements such as measurement configuration and measurement object configuration. The predicted sample ratio (and / or measured sample ratio) may be related to each frequency to be measured, or may be a Per terminal configuration, or a Per FR configuration. In the Per FR configuration, FR1 corresponds to a predicted sample ratio (and / or measured sample ratio), and FR2 corresponds to a predicted sample ratio (and / or measured sample ratio).

[0364] In some embodiments, based on the terminal capabilities, the terminal can support one or more predicted sample ratios (and / or measured sample ratios), and the terminal can select one of the supported ratios to obtain valid measurement results, or the terminal reports one or more supported predicted sample ratios (and / or measured sample ratios), and the network side configures the corresponding predicted sample ratios (and / or measured sample ratios) for the terminal based on the capabilities reported by the terminal.

[0365] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the second measurement period based on the predicted sample ratio (and / or the measured sample ratio), including: based on the measured sample ratio, multiplying the measured sample ratio in an existing measurement period, where the existing measurement sample period is a measurement period that does not introduce the prediction. Alternatively, based on the predicted sample ratio, multiplying the predicted sample ratio in an existing measurement period by (1-predicted sample ratio), where the existing measurement period is a measurement period that does not introduce the prediction.

[0366] In some embodiments, X=measured sample ratio=(1-predicted sample ratio).

[0367] In some embodiments, the predicted sample ratio (and / or measured sample ratio) may be expressed as follows:

[0368] The first method is percentage. For example, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, the unit is 100%.

[0369] The second method is decimals, for example, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.

[0370] In some embodiments, the predicted sample ratio may be determined by a prediction scheme, with different prediction schemes corresponding to different ratios.

[0371] In some embodiments, the terminal performs a corresponding number of measurements in a corresponding second measurement period to obtain measurement samples, then performs prediction to obtain a corresponding number of prediction samples, and obtains a valid measurement result based on the measurement samples and the prediction samples.

[0372] In some embodiments, the time corresponding to the predicted sample obtained by the terminal through prediction is obtained based on the time interval of each measured sample, or the terminal determines the time corresponding to the predicted sample that needs to be obtained through prediction based on implementation or network configuration.

[0373] In some embodiments, the measurement samples can be used as input to the AI ​​prediction model, and the prediction samples are output.

[0374] In one example, the measurement sample ratio X = 60%, and the number of samples required to obtain a measurement result is 5. That is, the terminal performs three measurements in the second measurement period, obtains three measurement samples, then performs prediction, obtains two prediction samples based on the prediction, and generates a valid measurement result based on these five samples. The interval between each of the first three measurements is s seconds, and the terminal predicts the measurement result after the first s seconds and the measurement result after the second s seconds.

[0375] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the measurement opportunity based on the predicted sample ratio (and / or the measured sample ratio) (in this case, the second measurement period of the terminal is consistent with the existing measurement period algorithm). The terminal can determine the measurement opportunity to perform the measurement based on the network configuration and / or protocol agreement and / or terminal implementation (for example, considering the AI ​​model). The unused measurement opportunity is used for measurement of other frequencies based on the network configuration or protocol agreement.

[0376] In one example, for example, 5 samples are obtained in the manner shown in FIG2C (the measurement sample ratio is 60%).

[0377] In some embodiments, the AI ​​model used by the terminal for prediction can be associated with the predicted sample ratio (and / or the measured sample ratio), different predicted sample ratios (and / or measured sample ratios) correspond to different AI models (for example, corresponding to AI model identifiers), and the terminal can determine the AI ​​model to be used to perform the prediction based on the predicted sample ratio (and / or measured sample ratio).

[0378] In some embodiments, the terminal needs to obtain valid measurement results based on the measurement samples and the prediction samples. The valid measurement results can be obtained in the following ways:
