[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410355888.4 filed in China on March 27, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless technology, and in particular to a measurement method, apparatus, terminal, network equipment, and storage medium. Background Art

[0004] Synaesthesia is the integration of communication and perception. Through joint signal design and / or hardware sharing, the unified design of communication and perception functions is achieved, realizing the perception function while transmitting information.

[0005] Unlike communication measurements, sensing primarily requires distance, angle, and speed, and places high demands on accuracy and resolution. Therefore, a wide bandwidth is typically required to transmit sensing reference signals. If a terminal operates within a narrow bandwidth for communication, receiving and measuring wide-bandwidth sensing signals typically requires a measurement interval.

[0006] Regarding the transmission of perception signals, from an implementation perspective, a typical implementation method is for the network to periodically or semi-statically transmit perception reference signals. When a perception service arrives, the terminal then receives and measures the perception signal. In other words, only when a perception service arrives is it necessary to use a measurement interval to measure the perception signal. However, there are problems: on the one hand, communication services will be interrupted during the measurement interval, that is, the network will not schedule the terminal during the measurement interval, resulting in throughput loss, so it is not desirable to have a measurement interval that exists all the time. On the other hand, the triggering of the perception service is based on server requirements, that is, the network may not be able to determine when the terminal performs perception measurements. Furthermore, how the terminal performs perception measurements (for example, the period of perception measurements) is likely to be determined autonomously by the terminal based on perception requirements, resulting in the network being unable to configure a matching measurement interval for communication. In addition, too many measurement intervals can also lead to a decrease in system throughput. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention is to provide a measurement method, apparatus, terminal, network equipment and storage medium, which are used to solve the problem in the related art that the network equipment and the terminal have inconsistent understandings of the measurement interval used for perception, and are unable to timely configure the measurement interval that matches the perception requirements for the terminal, resulting in a loss of system throughput.

[0081] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present disclosure clearer, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0082] In order to solve the problem in the related art that the network device and the terminal have inconsistent understandings of the measurement interval used for perception measurement, and cannot configure the measurement interval matching the perception requirements for the terminal in a timely manner, resulting in a loss of system throughput, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement method, which sends first information related to perception to the terminal through the network device, so that the terminal determines the measurement interval for perception based on the first information sent by the network device, so as to ensure that the network device and the terminal have consistent understandings of the measurement interval used for perception, thereby avoiding the problem that the measurement interval matching the perception requirements cannot be configured for the terminal in a timely manner, resulting in a loss of system throughput.

[0083] One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement method performed by a terminal, as shown in FIG1 , including:

[0084] S110: Receive first information sent by a network device, where the first information is related to perception.

[0085] In another implementation manner, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal may also be described as information related to the perceived measurement interval.

[0086] Using this implementation, the first information related to perception is sent to the terminal through the network device, so that the network device indicates information related to perception and / or related to the measurement interval of perception to the terminal, so that the terminal determines the configuration, start time, etc. of the measurement interval for perception based on the first information. Optionally, perception measurement can be performed based on the first information so that the network device and the terminal have the same understanding of the measurement interval for perception.

[0087] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "perception" may also be described as "synaesthesia," "communication perception," "synaesthesia integration," "communication perception integration," "sensing," "sensing and communication(s)," and "Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC)." Specifically, the terminal performing perception may include object detection and / or object tracking.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information includes one or more of the following information:

[0089] First indication information, indicating that the measurement interval for the communication service can be used for the perception measurement;

[0090] Second indication information, indicating that the measurement interval used for communication services cannot be used for perception measurement;

[0091] third indication information, indicating configuration information of a measurement interval used for sensing;

[0092] fourth indication information, indicating that the measurement interval used for sensing is used for communication services;

[0093] fifth indication information, indicating that the measurement interval used for sensing is not used for communication services;

[0094] Sixth indication information, indicating activation / deactivation of a measurement interval for sensing;

[0095] The seventh indication information indicates that a measurement interval for sensing is started and effective, and is used for measuring a target sensing service;

[0096] eighth indication information, indicating a correspondence between a measurement interval and a perception;

[0097] Ninth indication information, including an activation indication for the terminal to perform perception;

[0098] Tenth indication information, including a deactivation indication for the terminal to perform perception;

[0099] The eleventh indication information indicates whether to start or stop the perception.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information includes first indication information or second indication information, and the first indication information indicates that the measurement interval for the communication service can be used for perception measurement, and the second indication information indicates that the measurement interval for the communication service cannot be used for perception measurement.

[0101] Optionally, the communication service mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be simply described as communication, and can also be described as the reception / transmission of communication-related data and / or the reception / transmission of reference signals. Specifically, the communication service includes the reception of one or more of the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the Channel-State-Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), the Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block (SSB), and the Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) and / or the transmission of one or more of the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and the Channel Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

[0102] Using this implementation, when the network device has pre-configured a measurement interval for the terminal (for example, the measurement interval is currently used for communication services), the network device can send a first indication message or a second indication message to the terminal to indicate whether the measurement interval used for the communication service can be used for perception measurement.

[0103] Optionally, when the network device sends first indication information to the terminal, indicating that the measurement interval of the terminal used for communication services can be used for perception measurement, the terminal can perform perception through the measurement interval used for communication services; if the network device sends second indication information to the terminal, indicating that the measurement interval of the terminal used for communication services cannot be used for perception measurement, the network device needs to further configure the terminal with a measurement interval for perception. Optionally, when the communication signal and the perception signal cannot be covered by the same set of measurement intervals, the network device sends the second indication information to the terminal.

[0104] Since measurement intervals will cause throughput loss, the more measurement intervals there are, the greater the throughput loss. If communication and perception can reuse the same set of measurement intervals, the loss to throughput can be reduced. However, if communication and perception reuse the same set of measurement intervals, their respective measurement times will be extended, and the measurement performance will also decrease. Using the measurement method described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device can determine whether communication and perception can reuse the same set of measurement intervals based on whether the communication service requirements, perception service requirements, and measurement interval configuration match the perception measurement, thereby sending the first indication information or the second indication information to the terminal. For example, when the current communication service does not have high throughput requirements and the current measurement interval is also suitable for perception measurement, the network device can send the first indication information to the terminal, instructing the terminal to reuse the current measurement interval for perception measurement, and indicate it to the terminal through the first indication information.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes third indication information indicating configuration information of the measurement interval used for perception.

[0106] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement interval for sensing may also be described as a measurement interval for sensing measurement, or as a measurement interval for sensing reference signal reception, or as a measurement interval for sensing.

[0107] In one implementation manner, optionally, the configuration information of the measurement interval in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes one or more of an index, a measurement interval period, a measurement interval length, and an offset.

[0108] Using this implementation, the network device can configure an appropriate measurement interval for the terminal based on the performance requirements of the perception service. Optionally, the perception service server can trigger the terminal to perform perception service measurements through the network device. In this case, the network device can obtain the perception service requirements and determine the measurement interval for terminal perception based on the perception service requirements. For example, based on the perception service requirements, the network device can determine whether short-cycle intensive measurements (good measurement performance) or long-cycle sparse measurements (little impact on system throughput) are required, thereby determining how to configure the measurement interval for perception.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the method further includes one or more of the following:

[0110] Performing sensing according to the configuration information indicated by the third indication information;

[0111] Initiate sensing according to the third instruction information;

[0112] activating sensing according to the third indication information, and performing sensing according to the configuration information indicated by the third indication information;

[0113] When the terminal is currently performing sensing, stopping sensing according to the third instruction information;

[0114] When the terminal is currently performing perception, the terminal switches the measurement interval currently used for perception to a measurement interval determined according to the configuration information indicated by the third indication information.

[0115] Using the measurement method described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes the third indication information, in one embodiment, the terminal can determine the measurement interval used for perception based on the third indication information, and perceive based on the measurement interval. In another embodiment, the third indication information can be used to implicitly start or shut down perception; optionally, when the terminal is configured with a measurement interval or the measurement interval is activated, implicit perception is started. In this case, the terminal receives the third indication information and stops perception according to the third indication information; if the measurement interval is deconfigured or the measurement interval is deactivated, implicit perception is shut down. In this case, the terminal receives the third indication information and starts or activates perception. Optionally, perception can also be performed according to the configuration indicated by the third indication information; optionally, when the terminal is currently performing perception, the measurement interval currently used for perception can be switched to a measurement interval determined according to the configuration information indicated by the third indication information.

[0116] By adopting this implementation mode, the network device can configure / deconfigure the corresponding measurement interval in real time based on the perception needs. When a perception service arrives, the terminal can be configured with a suitable measurement interval, and the perception measurement interval can be configured through a third indication information. When the perception service ends, the perception measurement interval can also be deconfigured through the third indication information, thereby avoiding the situation where the measurement interval always exists.

[0117] In one embodiment, the third indication information in the first information may optionally be used independently of the first indication information and the second indication information. For example, the terminal determines the configuration of the measurement interval for sensing based solely on the third indication information. In another embodiment, the first information includes the first indication information and the third indication information. Even if the first indication information indicates that the current measurement interval can be used for sensing, the terminal may update the measurement interval for sensing based solely on the configuration information of the measurement interval indicated by the third indication information.

[0118] In another embodiment, the third indication information in the first information may optionally be used in combination with the first indication information and the second indication information. When the first information includes the second indication information and the third indication information, the second indication information and the third indication information are combined to indicate to the terminal the configuration information of the measurement interval used for perception. That is, based on the indication information indicated by the second indication information that the measurement interval used for communication services cannot be used for perception measurement, the terminal obtains the configuration information of the measurement interval used for perception based on the third indication information.

[0119] In another implementation manner of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes fourth indication information or fifth indication information, and the fourth indication information indicates that the measurement interval for perception is used for communication services, and the fifth indication information indicates that the measurement interval for perception is not used for communication services.

[0120] With this implementation, the fourth and fifth indication information can indicate whether the configured measurement interval is used only for sensing, only for communication services, or for both sensing and communication services. Optionally, the fourth and fifth indication information can be used in conjunction with the third indication information to indicate whether the sensing measurement interval configured in the third indication information can be used for communication services. In this way, a network device can indicate whether a sensing measurement interval can be used for communication services based on sensing requirements, thereby balancing throughput and measurement performance.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first information includes the fourth indication information, the terminal uses the measurement interval for perception to perform communication-related measurements. Optionally, performing communication-related measurements can also be described as performing SSB, CSI-RS, PRS measurements, etc.

[0122] In another implementation manner in the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes sixth indication information indicating activation / deactivation of the measurement interval for perception.

[0123] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the activation mentioned may also be described as starting or taking effect, etc., and the deactivation mentioned may also be described as shutting down or not being applied, etc.

[0124] With this implementation, activation or deactivation of the perceived measurement interval is triggered by the sixth indication information to indicate the effective time of the perceived measurement interval.

[0125] When the terminal obtains the sixth indication information, it starts sensing according to the sixth indication information and uses the configured or activated measurement interval for sensing.

[0126] In the related art, the measurement interval configuration takes effect immediately, but in the synaesthesia scenario, there is a situation where the communication service does not require a measurement interval, and the measurement interval is required only for the perception service. Using the measurement method described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement interval can be configured first through the third indication information (for example, through radio resource control (RRC) configuration), and then activated through the sixth indication information when needed, and deactivated through the sixth indication information when not needed (optionally, activation / deactivation can be indicated by downlink control information (DCI) / media access control (MAC) control unit (CE)), which can reduce throughput loss and more quickly and flexibly indicate whether to use the measurement interval.

[0127] As an implementation method: Optionally, the sixth indication information can explicitly indicate the activation / deactivation of the measurement interval through the signaling, for example, the sixth indication information indicates activation / deactivation through true / false; or, indicates activation and deactivation through bit values ​​0 and 1 respectively. As an implementation method, the sixth indication information can also be an implicit indication method, that is, implicitly indicating the activation / deactivation of the measurement interval. For example, the use of the measurement interval can be implicitly indicated by starting the perception measurement. Taking into account that the perception measurement is usually a large bandwidth, assuming that the perception measurement is performed within the measurement interval, the terminal is configured for perception through the network device, and the indication measurement interval is also activated. The use of this implicit indication method can avoid the use of additional signaling to indicate the measurement interval, thereby achieving the effect of reducing signaling overhead.

[0128] In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes seventh indication information, indicating that the measurement interval for perception is started and effective, and is used for measurement of the target perception service.

[0129] With this implementation, when the network device pre-sets a measurement interval for the terminal to be used for perception, but the measurement interval is not effective, the network device sends seventh indication information to the terminal to instruct the start of perception measurement.

[0130] When the terminal obtains the seventh indication information, it starts measuring the target perception service according to the seventh indication information, and perceives the target perception service using a configured or activated measurement interval.

[0131] Since perception can be applied to a variety of scenarios and services, for example, speed perception, distance perception, angle perception, indoor perception, outdoor perception, traffic scene perception, drone perception, etc., it can also be used for object recognition (such as unauthorized drone flight identification, foreign object intrusion on highways / high-speed rail), trajectory tracking, etc., the perception of different services has different requirements for measurement intervals. The seventh indication information can be used to further subdivide the terminal to indicate which perception services use measurement intervals and which do not require measurement intervals.

[0132] Optionally, the seventh indication information may indicate that the perception measurement interval is started and effective for measuring the target perception service. Optionally, the target perception service may also be described as a perception service with the measurement interval effective, or as a perception service using the measurement interval.

[0133] In one embodiment, considering that perception measurements are usually performed over a large bandwidth, when all perception measurements are performed within a measurement interval, it can be considered that the start indication of the perception measurement can implicitly indicate the use of the measurement interval. Using this embodiment, optionally, the seventh indication information includes a start indication, for example, by presetting a parameter to a set value, indicating that the measurement interval is started and effective, and implicitly indicating that the previously configured measurement interval for perception is effective through the start indication. This approach can avoid indicating the measurement interval used through additional signaling, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

[0134] In another embodiment, taking into account different terminal implementations and the relationship between communication bandwidth and perception bandwidth, not all perception measurements may require a measurement interval. Therefore, unlike the seventh indication information including a start indication, the seventh indication information needs to further indicate whether the perception measurement requires a measurement interval. Optionally, the seventh indication information is used to clearly indicate that the previously configured measurement interval for perception is effective. In the case where the network device pre-configures multiple measurement intervals for perception for the terminal, the seventh indication information includes an index of the measurement interval for perception, which is used to indicate that the configured measurement interval corresponding to the index is effective. Optionally, the index may include index information of multiple pre-configured measurement intervals.

[0135] Optionally, in the case where multiple measurement intervals are pre-configured, the seventh indication information may further include a service index, used to indicate that the measurement interval corresponding to the corresponding index is effective, and the measurement interval is applied to the service corresponding to the service index.

[0136] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the perception service in which the seventh indication information indicates that the measurement interval is effective, when the terminal is performing the corresponding service, the measurement interval is effective (or described as activated), and when performing other services, the measurement interval is not effective (or described as deactivated).

[0137] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes eighth indication information indicating a correspondence between the measurement interval and the perception. Optionally, in one embodiment, the correspondence between the measurement interval and the perception can also be described as a mapping relationship between the measurement interval and the perception.

[0138] Among them, when the terminal is configured to perform one of the perception services, according to the correspondence between the measurement interval and the service in the eighth indication information, the measurement interval corresponding to the perception service is activated accordingly, and the measurement interval corresponding to the perception service (target perception service) is used for perception.

[0139] Since perception can be applied to a variety of scenarios and services: for example, it can be used for speed perception, distance perception, angle perception, indoor perception, outdoor perception, traffic scene perception, drone perception, etc., and can also be used for object recognition (such as drone illegal flight recognition, highway / high-speed rail foreign body intrusion), trajectory tracking, etc. The perception of different services has different requirements for measurement intervals. For example, speed perception usually requires the joint use of multiple reference symbol resources and requires the configuration of a longer measurement interval length. In comparison, the perception of distance and angle does not require a longer measurement interval length. If the same measurement interval configuration is used, it will lead to unnecessary throughput loss. If different measurement intervals are configured for different perception services in real time, it will bring overhead and delay problems. Based on this, in the measurement method described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the eighth indication information indicates the correspondence between the measurement interval and the perception. Optionally, the correspondence includes the correspondence between multiple measurement interval configurations and multiple perception services.

[0140] As one of the implementation methods: the eighth indication information may include a correspondence between a measurement interval index and a corresponding perception service (i.e., a perception service using a measurement interval of the index); as one of the implementation methods: the eighth indication information may include a correspondence between a perception service index and a corresponding measurement interval (i.e., an index indicating a perception service index and a corresponding measurement interval). In this way, the terminal can determine the measurement interval used when performing the perception service based on the eighth indication information. In addition, the eighth indication information may also implicitly indicate the activation and deactivation of the measurement interval. Specifically, when one of the perception services is performed, the corresponding measurement interval is implicitly activated; when the perception service ends, the corresponding measurement interval is implicitly deactivated.

[0141] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes ninth indication information or tenth indication information, and the ninth indication information is used to instruct the terminal to activate perception, while the tenth indication information is used to instruct the terminal to deactivate perception. This embodiment enables dynamic and rapid switching of perception between different perception services by sending an activation indication or a deactivation indication to the terminal, thereby reducing signaling overhead and switching delay.

[0142] Considering that, unlike communication services, the terminal does not need to continuously perceive, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal includes an eleventh indication information, indicating whether to start or stop perception. Through this information, the terminal can be dynamically and quickly instructed whether to perform perception, and perception can be started or stopped in real time. Specifically, perception can be configured in advance (for example, by configuring the perception service that the terminal needs to perform through RRC), and then the start or stop of perception can be further indicated through the eleventh indication information (for example, through MAC CE, DCI, etc.).

[0143] It should be noted that the information content included in the first information listed above in the embodiment of the present disclosure is only for illustration and is not limited thereto.

[0144] In one implementation manner of the measurement method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, the method further includes:

[0145] Sending second information to the network device, where the second information includes one or more of the following:

[0146] Twelfth indication information, instructing the terminal to perform perception;

[0147] The thirteenth indication information indicates the measurement interval adopted by the terminal for perception.

[0148] For the scenario where the server directly triggers the terminal to perform perception service measurement, the network device cannot know whether the terminal performs perception measurement, when the perception measurement is performed, and how the perception measurement is performed. The measurement method described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted. Based on the twelfth indication information and the thirteenth indication information, the relevant information of the perception measurement is sent to the network through the terminal. The network device can determine when to configure the measurement interval and / or determine the configuration of the perception measurement interval.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the twelfth indication information instructs the terminal to perform perception, which can also be described as the twelfth indication information instructs the terminal to perform perception measurement, or as the twelfth indication information instructs the terminal to request perception.
