[0002] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the Patent Office of China on March 29, 2024, with application number 202410379602.6 and invention name “Measurement reporting triggering method, terminal and network side device”. The entire contents of the application are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0003] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a measurement reporting triggering method, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Art

[0004] In the measurement reporting mechanism of related technologies, network-side equipment (such as a base station) configures the terminal to perform event-triggered measurement reporting. If the terminal does not report measurement results before the reporting conditions are met, the network-side equipment may not be able to obtain the terminal's measurement results, which is not conducive to the network-side equipment's decision-making and the terminal's energy-saving behavior. For example, if the terminal is unable to report measurement results before the secondary cell (Scell) is activated, it will not meet the conditions for transitioning to the Scell ​​known state. As a result, the Scell ​​cannot be quickly activated, resulting in increased latency in the Scell ​​activation process and increased energy consumption for the network-side equipment and the terminal.

[0032] The triggering method for measurement reporting provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to some embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a measurement reporting triggering method 200 , which can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed in the terminal. The method includes the following steps.

[0034] S202: When the first condition is met, the terminal reports a measurement result of a measurement target; wherein the measurement target includes at least one of the following: a measurement object (MO), a reference signal, and a target cell.

[0035] The first condition includes at least one of the following 1) to 12):

[0036] 1) Receiving a first indication. For example, when the measurement target includes a reference signal, and the reference signal includes an on-demand SSB, the first indication may be a triggering or activation indication of the on-demand SSB. The first indication may be considered to implicitly indicate that the terminal reports the measurement result of the on-demand SSB. For another example, the first indication may also be a reporting indication of the measurement result.

[0037] This example can flexibly instruct the terminal to report the measurement results through the first indication in an explicit or implicit manner, which is beneficial for the network side device to obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, and meet the requirements of the network side or the terminal side. For example, it is beneficial for the network side device to make timely decisions and help reduce the energy consumption of the terminal and network side devices (the same will be true later).

[0038] 2) The first event occurs.

[0039] This example can define a first event related to the terminal reporting the measurement results. For example, by setting a relatively loose first event, the terminal can report the measurement results more easily or earlier, which is beneficial for the network side device to obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, and meet the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0040] Optionally, the first event may be configured in a reporting configuration (ReportConfig) associated with a measurement target (such as a measurement object).

[0041] 3) The target cell meets the first characteristic.

[0042] Optionally, the target cell satisfies the first feature including at least one of the following: the target cell is the serving cell of the terminal; the target cell is the primary serving cell or the secondary serving cell of the terminal; the target cell is not activated or deactivated; the target cell does not meet the condition of SSB-less secondary cell (SSB-less Scell); the measurement of the target cell is intra-frequency (Intra-frequency) or inter-frequency (inter-frequency) measurement; the target cell and the primary cell (Pcell) or the activated serving cell (active serving cell) are intra-band (Intra-band) cells or inter-band (inter-band) cells; the target cell is an unknown (Unknown) secondary cell.

[0043] The target cell mentioned in each embodiment of the present application may be a secondary cell (Scell). This embodiment facilitates the network-side device to obtain the measurement results of the Scell ​​as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirement of the Scell ​​known (known) state, thereby facilitating the reduction of the Scell ​​switching delay and the energy consumption of the terminal and the network-side device. Alternatively, it facilitates the network-side device to obtain information related to the communication quality of the Scell, thereby assisting the network-side device in performing subsequent secondary cell activation, switching, and other operations. For information on the known (known) and unknown (unknown) of the Scell, please refer to the introduction to the relevant sections on Scell ​​activation in TS38.133.

[0044] 4) The terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell. For example, the terminal has not reported the measurement result before the Scell ​​is activated (for a period of time); for another example, there is no measurement result before the Scell ​​is configured (for a period of time).

[0045] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network devices obtain Scell ​​measurement results sooner or more easily. Furthermore, it meets the requirement for the Scell ​​to be in a known state, thereby reducing Scell ​​handover latency and energy consumption for both the terminal and network devices. Alternatively, it helps network devices obtain information related to Scell ​​communication quality, thereby assisting the network devices in performing subsequent secondary cell activation and handover operations.

[0046] 5) The duration during which the terminal fails to report the measurement result reaches a first threshold.

[0047] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements. When a terminal performs measurement but does not report measurement results for a long time, the terminal can report the measurement results. This helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thus meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0048] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met is determined based on whether the duration for which the measurement result is not reported meets the first threshold.

[0049] 6) The terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell before the first moment or before a specific time interval before the first moment; the first moment is at least one of the following: the current moment, the configuration moment of the target cell, the activation moment of the target cell, the deactivation moment of the target cell, the moment pre-configured, configured or indicated by the network side, the moment predefined by the protocol, the specific time interval is indicated or configured by the network side, or predefined by the protocol.

[0050] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0051] In this example, the target cell can be a secondary cell (Scell). This embodiment facilitates network-side devices to obtain Scell ​​measurement results as early or more easily as possible. Furthermore, it can meet the requirement that the Scell ​​is in a known state, thereby reducing Scell ​​handover latency and energy consumption of the terminal and network-side devices. Alternatively, it can facilitate network-side devices to obtain information related to the communication quality of the Scell, thereby assisting the network-side devices in performing subsequent operations such as secondary cell activation and handover.

[0052] 7) The measurement result is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0053] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0054] 8) The number of measurements or the measurement time of the measurement target is greater than or equal to a third threshold. For example, when the measurement target includes a reference signal, and the reference signal includes an SSB, if the number of SSB measurements is greater than the third threshold, or the SSB measurement time is greater than the third threshold, the terminal may report the SSB measurement result. It will be understood that the value of the third threshold corresponding to the number of measurements may be different from the value of the third threshold corresponding to the measurement time.

[0055] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0056] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met may be determined based on whether the measurement time or the number of measurements meets the third threshold.

[0057] 9) The measurement targets are for demand-based SSB.

[0058] This example implicitly instructs the terminal to report the corresponding measurement results after measuring the demand-based SSB.

[0059] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0060] 10) There are uplink resources available to report the measurement results.

[0061] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements. If there are available uplink resources, the measurement results can be reported. This helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0062] 11) The measurement-related timer expires, the reporting countdown timer expires (reaches the maximum interval), or the timer allowing reporting does not expire.

[0063] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0064] 12) The configuration time or activation time of the measurement target reaches the threshold.

[0065] For example, after a period of time after configuring MO, the terminal is triggered to report the measurement results. This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network or terminal.

[0066] The measurement results mentioned in various embodiments of the present application include, for example, reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indication (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ) or signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), which can be the absolute value or relative value of RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ or SINR.

[0067] In the measurement reporting triggering method provided in an embodiment of the present application, a terminal reports measurement results of a measurement target, where a first condition is met. The measurement target includes at least one of the following: a measurement object, a reference signal, or a target cell. The first condition allows for setting relatively loose reporting requirements, which facilitates network-side devices to obtain measurement results sooner or more easily, meeting network-side or terminal-side requirements. For example, this facilitates timely decision-making by network-side devices and reduces energy consumption of both the terminal and network-side devices.

[0068] In one embodiment, the first indication includes or is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0069] 1) Triggering or activation indication of on-demand SSB.

[0070] The first indication may be a trigger or activation indication of the on-demand SSB, implicitly instructing the terminal to report a corresponding measurement result after measuring the on-demand SSB.

[0071] 2) The measurement result reporting instruction, in this example, may explicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement result.

[0072] Optionally, the reporting indication can directly indicate reporting resources, i.e., directly instruct the terminal on the resources for reporting measurement results. Optionally, the reporting indication is only for triggering the reporting of measurement results for on-demand SSB, which helps the network-side device obtain the Scell ​​measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meets the Scell ​​known state requirement, and further helps reduce Scell ​​handover delay and reduce energy consumption of the terminal and network-side devices.

[0073] 3) Target cell configuration, addition, deletion, activation, or deactivation. For example, in the case of Scell ​​configuration or addition, it is expected that the terminal reports a measurement result as soon as possible after the Scell ​​configuration or addition, so that the network side obtains information related to the communication quality of the Scell, or the network side activates the Scell ​​soon after the Scell ​​configuration, so as to easily meet the Scell ​​known (known) condition, thereby facilitating the reduction of Scell ​​handover delay and energy consumption of the terminal and network side equipment. Alternatively, it is beneficial for the network side equipment to obtain information related to the communication quality of the Scell, thereby assisting the network side equipment in performing subsequent secondary cell activation, handover, and other operations.

[0074] 4) Adding, modifying, deleting, activating, or deactivating a measurement object (MO). This measurement object can be, for example, a frequency point to be measured. For example, after an MO is added or activated, the terminal is expected to report a measurement result. This example can implicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement result, saving signaling overhead.

[0075] 5) The first event is configured in the measurement reporting configuration. For example, when an on-demand SSB is added through an MO, the corresponding first event that triggers the reporting of measurement results can be configured in the measurement reporting configuration. This example can implicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement results, saving signaling overhead.

[0076] Optionally, the first event mentioned in each of the above embodiments may include at least one of the following:

[0077] 1) The measurement result of the target cell is greater than a second threshold or less than a second threshold.

[0078] This embodiment can configure a relatively low second threshold, so that the first condition defined in the measurement reporting event is more easily met, which is beneficial for the network side device to obtain the measurement result more easily or as early as possible, and meet the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0079] For example, if the measurement result is a relative value and the relative value is consistently less than the second threshold, it may indicate that the terminal has not moved, and consideration may be given to requiring the terminal to report the measurement result once. Optionally, this event also determines whether the measurement time is greater than a third threshold, or whether the duration of not reporting the measurement result is greater than the first threshold. If the measurement time is greater than the third threshold, or the duration of not reporting the measurement result is greater than the first threshold, and the measurement result is less than the second threshold, the measurement result may be reported.

[0080] 2) The target cell or target frequency includes a Network Energy Saving (NES) cell. For example, if the terminal is measuring an NES cell, it is considered to meet the measurement reporting conditions, which helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as soon as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0081] 3) The measurement target is demand-based SSB. If the measured SSB is on-demand, it is considered that the measurement reporting conditions are met, which is conducive to the network side equipment obtaining the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, and meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0082] 4) The duration during which the terminal fails to report the measurement result reaches a first threshold.

[0083] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements. When a terminal performs measurement but does not report measurement results for a long time, the terminal can report the measurement results. This helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thus meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0084] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met is determined based on whether the duration for which the measurement result is not reported meets the first threshold.

[0085] 5) The terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell before the first moment or before a specific time interval before the first moment; the first moment is at least one of the following: the current moment, the configuration moment of the target cell, the activation moment of the target cell, the deactivation moment of the target cell, the moment pre-configured, configured or indicated by the network side, the moment predefined by the protocol, the specific time interval is indicated or configured by the network side, or predefined by the protocol.

[0086] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0087] 6) The number of measurements or the measurement time of the measurement target is greater than or equal to a third threshold. For example, when the measurement target includes a reference signal, and the reference signal includes an SSB, if the number of SSB measurements is greater than the third threshold, or the SSB measurement time is greater than the third threshold, the terminal may report the SSB measurement result. It will be understood that the value of the third threshold corresponding to the number of measurements may be different from the value of the third threshold corresponding to the measurement time.

[0088] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0089] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met may be determined based on whether the measurement time or the number of measurements meets the third threshold.

[0090] 7) The configuration time or activation time of the measurement target reaches a threshold.

[0091] For example, after a period of time after configuring MO, the terminal is triggered to report the measurement results. This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network or terminal.

[0092] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first indication includes an indication for reporting the measurement result, where the indication includes or is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0093] 1) The terminal reports the measurement result. For example, upon receiving a reporting instruction, the terminal requests resources or uses available uplink resources to report the measurement result. It is understood that reporting the measurement result requires generating the measurement result first.

[0094] 2) The terminal reports the measurement result when the first condition is met. Optionally, the reporting indication may indicate the first condition, or may enable the first condition.

[0095] 3) The terminal applies for resources required for reporting after generating the measurement result. It can be understood that the network side allows the terminal to request resources for reporting the measurement result after obtaining the measurement result.

[0096] 4) Resources for reporting the measurement results: It is understandable that the network directly indicates to the terminal the resources for reporting the measurement results.

[0097] 5) The earliest time, latest time or time range for reporting the measurement results.

[0098] 6) One or more measurement targets associated with the measurement result. It can be understood that the network instructs the terminal to report the measurement results of which measurement targets.

[0099] 7) The measurement time of the measurement target.

[0100] 8) Content of measurement report.

[0101] 9) The identifier of the terminal (such as UE ID).

[0102] 10) The index, frequency or identifier of the measurement target, such as SSB index, frequency, cell identifier, MO identifier, and measurement identifier (measId). It is understood that the network instructs the terminal to report the measurement results of which measurement targets.

[0103] In one embodiment, the location of the resource used to report the measurement result, the earliest time or time range for reporting the measurement result, and the latest time or time range for reporting the measurement result can all be determined by the first information, which includes the first moment or the first interval.

[0104] The first moment is at least one of the following: 1) the sending moment of a reporting indication; 2) the sending moment of an activation or deactivation command of the target cell, such as the sending moment of an Scell ​​activation command; 3) the sending moment of configuration information of the target cell; 4) the triggering moment of a demand-based SSB; 5) the start sending moment or the end sending moment of a demand-based SSB; 6) the measurement start moment or the measurement end moment. The first moment may also be a moment indicated or configured by a network-side device.

[0105] The first interval is predefined, or preconfigured, configured, or indicated by a network-side device.

[0106] In one example, the first interval includes at least one of the following: processing time of the activation command or configuration information of the target cell, processing time of the reporting indication, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request Acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK) processing time, measurement time, measurement report generation time, and predefined processing time.

[0107] This embodiment facilitates the terminal to determine the location of the resource for reporting the measurement result, the earliest time or time range for reporting the measurement result, the latest time or time range for reporting the measurement result, etc. by setting the first moment and the first interval.

[0108] In one embodiment, the time of reporting the measurement result satisfies at least one of the following:

[0109] 1) Before the activation command of the target cell is sent, for example, before the Scell ​​activation command is sent.

[0110] 2) After the configuration information of the target cell is sent, for example, after the Scell ​​is configured.

[0111] This embodiment helps the network side device to obtain the Scell ​​measurement result as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirement of the Scell ​​known state, thereby helping to reduce the Scell ​​handover delay and reduce the energy consumption of the terminal and the network side device.

[0112] In one embodiment, the first indication includes an indication for reporting a measurement result, and the indication satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0113] 1) The reporting indication is independent of the demand-based SSB indication.

[0114] 2) The reporting indication is independently indicated from the target cell configuration (eg, Scell ​​configuration).

[0115] 3) The reporting indication is independently indicated by the target cell activation or deactivation (eg, Scell ​​activation or deactivation).

[0116] This embodiment provides more flexible instructions by means of independent instructions.

[0117] It should be noted that the independent indication may refer to an indication sent at different times, or an indication sent by different signaling types, or an indication sent by different channels, or indicated by different indication fields.

[0118] In other embodiments, the reporting indication may also be jointly indicated with at least one of the triggering or indication of the demand-based SSB, the target cell configuration, the activation or deactivation of the target cell, the configuration of the MO, the activation or deactivation of the MO, etc., which is beneficial to saving signaling overhead.

[0119] In one embodiment, the reporting indication satisfies at least one of the following:

[0120] 1) The reporting indication is sent after the target cell is configured (such as Scell ​​configuration).

[0121] 2) The reporting indication is sent after the demand-based SSB trigger.

[0122] 3) The reporting indication is sent after the measurement object (MO) is activated.

[0123] 4) The reporting indication is sent before the activation command of the target cell (such as the Scell ​​activation command) is sent.

[0124] In one embodiment, the indication granularity of the first indication or the reporting indication mentioned in each of the above examples satisfies at least one of the following:

[0125] 1) Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) or PCI group.

[0126] 2) Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) frequency or SSB frequency group.

[0127] 3) Measurement Object (MO) or MO group.

[0128] 4) Cell or cell group.

[0129] This example helps the terminal determine whether it needs to process the received first indication or reporting indication by determining the indication granularity.

[0130] In one embodiment, the reporting indications mentioned in the above examples are carried by at least one of the following: downlink control information (DCI), media access control control element (MAC CE), radio resource control (RRC) signaling, etc.

[0131] In one embodiment, the resources used to carry the measurement results meet at least one of the following requirements:

[0132] 1) Configured or instructed by network-side equipment.

[0133] 2) Located in the cell associated with the measurement result, or located in the primary cell or the activated serving cell.

[0134] 3) Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resources or Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources.

[0135] 4) It is a configured grant (Configured Grant, CG) resource or a dynamic grant (Dynamic Grant, DG) resource. For example, when there are available CG or DG resources, the terminal reports the measurement result.

[0136] 5) is the resource requested by the terminal through a Buffer Status Report (BSR) or Scheduling Request (SR). For example, when there is no available CG or DG, the terminal requests the network side to send uplink resources for measurement reports.

[0137] To illustrate in detail the measurement reporting triggering method provided in the embodiments of the present application, several specific embodiments will be described below.

[0138] Example 1

[0139] This embodiment mainly introduces the first indication and the first event. The first indication may include an indication for reporting a measurement result.

[0140] To enable faster Scell ​​activation, an on-demand SSB can be triggered before Scell ​​activation to assist the terminal in performing Scell ​​measurements, thereby meeting the Scell ​​known status requirement. However, if the terminal performs measurements but fails to meet the measurement reporting conditions, it cannot report the measurement results, thus failing to meet the Scell ​​known status requirement. Therefore, to avoid this situation, it is necessary to consider how to support or relax measurement reporting in the on-demand SSB scenario. When the network triggers the on-demand SSB, it instructs the terminal to report the measurement results.

[0141] Optionally, the network side device uses the first indication to explicitly indicate (a 1-bit indication or an indication field indication) or implicitly indicate the terminal to report the measurement result.

[0142] Optionally, the network-side device indicates, through a first indication, whether the terminal is required to report the measurement result.

[0143] Optionally, the network side device instructs the terminal to report the measurement result when the first condition is met through a first indication.

[0144] Optionally, the network-side device instructs the terminal to report the resource of the measurement result through a first indication.

[0145] Optionally, the network-side device instructs the terminal, through the first indication, on the earliest time or the latest time for reporting the measurement result, for example, requiring the terminal to report the measurement result no later than the first moment.

[0146] Optionally, the first moment is at least one of the following:

[0147] 1) The time when the Scell ​​activation command is sent.

[0148] 2) The triggering moment of on-demand SSB.

[0149] 3) The start and end time of sending on-demand SSB.

[0150] 4) The first interval T1, for example, the first time is n-T1 or n+T1.

[0151] Optionally, in this embodiment, the network side (when triggering on-demand SSB) may further configure a corresponding measurement reporting event (first event), and the content or criteria of the measurement reporting event include at least one of the following contents (the network side is implemented by activating MO when triggering on-demand SSB):

[0152] 1) The measurement result of the target cell is greater than a second threshold or less than a second threshold.

[0153] This embodiment can configure a relatively low second threshold, so that the first condition defined in the measurement reporting event is more easily met, which is beneficial for the network side device to obtain the measurement result as early as possible or more easily, and meet the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0154] For example, if the measurement result is a relative value and the relative value is consistently less than the second threshold, it may indicate that the terminal has not moved, and consideration may be given to requiring the terminal to report the measurement result once. Optionally, this event also determines whether the measurement time is greater than a third threshold, or whether the duration of not reporting the measurement result is greater than the first threshold. If the measurement time is greater than the third threshold, or the duration of not reporting the measurement result is greater than the first threshold, and the measurement result is less than the second threshold, the measurement result may be reported.

[0155] 2) The target cell or target frequency includes a Network Energy Saving (NES) cell. For example, if the terminal is measuring an NES cell, it is considered to meet the measurement reporting conditions, which helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as soon as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0156] 3) The measurement target is demand-based SSB. If the measured SSB is on-demand, it is considered that the measurement reporting conditions are met, which is conducive to the network side equipment obtaining the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, and meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0157] 4) The measurement time is greater than the third threshold, that is, whether the reporting condition is met is determined not based on the measurement result but based on whether the measurement time meets the duration.

[0158] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the network side triggers on-demand SSB, it also indicates the resources for measurement reporting, that is, when the network side instructs SSB to be sent or activates MO, it directly pre-allocates a resource for reporting measurement results to the terminal according to the sending time of on-demand SSB.

[0159] The location of the resource used to report the measurement result, the earliest time or time range for reporting the measurement result, and the latest time or time range for reporting the measurement result can all be determined by first information, where the first information includes a first moment or a first interval;

[0160] The first moment is at least one of the following: 1) the sending moment of a reporting indication; 2) the sending moment of an activation or deactivation command of the target cell, such as the sending moment of an Scell ​​activation command; 3) the sending moment of configuration information of the target cell; 4) the triggering moment of a demand-based SSB; 5) the start sending moment or the end sending moment of a demand-based SSB; 6) the measurement start moment or the measurement end moment. The first moment may also be a moment indicated or configured by a network-side device.

[0161] The first interval is predefined, or preconfigured, configured, or indicated by a network-side device.

[0162] In one example, the first interval includes at least one of the following: processing time of the activation command or configuration information of the target cell, processing time of the reporting indication, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request Acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK) processing time, measurement time, measurement report generation time, and predefined processing time.

[0163] This embodiment facilitates the terminal to determine the location of the resource for reporting the measurement result, the earliest time or time range for reporting the measurement result, the latest time or time range for reporting the measurement result, etc. by setting the first moment and the first interval.

[0164] Example 2

[0165] This embodiment mainly introduces the first condition and the measurement result (or reported content).

[0166] When the network side instructs the terminal to report the measurement result, it may require the terminal to report the measurement result, or it may report the measurement result only when the first condition is met, wherein the first condition includes at least one of the following 1) to 12):

[0167] 1) Receiving a first indication. For example, when the measurement target includes a reference signal, and the reference signal includes an on-demand SSB, the first indication may be a triggering or activation indication of the on-demand SSB. The first indication may be considered to implicitly indicate that the terminal reports the measurement result of the on-demand SSB. For another example, the first indication may also be a reporting indication of the measurement result.

[0168] This example can flexibly instruct the terminal to report the measurement results through the first indication in an explicit or implicit manner, which is beneficial for the network side device to obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, and meet the requirements of the network side or the terminal side. For example, it is beneficial for the network side device to make timely decisions and help reduce the energy consumption of the terminal and network side devices (the same will be true later).

[0169] 2) The first event occurs.

[0170] This example can define a first event related to the terminal reporting the measurement results. For example, by setting a relatively loose first event, the terminal can report the measurement results more easily or earlier, which is beneficial for the network side device to obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, and meet the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0171] Optionally, the first event may be configured in a reporting configuration (ReportConfig) associated with a measurement target (such as a measurement object).

[0172] 3) The target cell meets the first characteristic.

[0173] Optionally, the target cell satisfies the first feature including at least one of the following: the target cell is the serving cell of the terminal; the target cell is the primary serving cell or the secondary serving cell of the terminal; the target cell is not activated or deactivated; the target cell does not meet the condition of an SSB-less secondary cell (SSB-less Scell); the measurement of the target cell is intra-frequency or inter-frequency measurement; the target cell and the primary cell (Pcell) or the activated serving cell (active serving cell) are intra-band cells or inter-band cells; the target cell is an unknown secondary cell.

[0174] The target cell mentioned in each embodiment of the present application may be a secondary cell (Scell). This embodiment facilitates the network-side device to obtain the measurement results of the Scell ​​as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirement of the Scell ​​known (known) state, thereby facilitating the reduction of the Scell ​​switching delay and the energy consumption of the terminal and the network-side device. Alternatively, it facilitates the network-side device to obtain information related to the communication quality of the Scell, thereby assisting the network-side device in performing subsequent secondary cell activation, switching, and other operations. For information on the known (known) and unknown (unknown) of the Scell, please refer to the introduction to the relevant sections on Scell ​​activation in TS38.133.

[0175] 4) The terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell. For example, the terminal has not reported the measurement result before the Scell ​​is activated (for a period of time); for another example, there is no measurement result before the Scell ​​is configured (for a period of time).

[0176] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network devices obtain Scell ​​measurement results sooner or more easily. Furthermore, it meets the requirement for the Scell ​​to be in a known state, thereby reducing Scell ​​handover latency and energy consumption for both the terminal and network devices. Alternatively, it helps network devices obtain information related to Scell ​​communication quality, thereby assisting the network devices in performing subsequent secondary cell activation and handover operations.

[0177] 5) The duration during which the terminal fails to report the measurement result reaches a first threshold.

[0178] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements. When a terminal performs measurement but does not report measurement results for a long time, the terminal can report the measurement results. This helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thus meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0179] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met is determined based on whether the duration for which the measurement result is not reported meets the first threshold.

[0180] 6) The terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell before the first moment or before a specific time interval before the first moment; the first moment is at least one of the following: the current moment, the configuration moment of the target cell, the activation moment of the target cell, the deactivation moment of the target cell, the moment pre-configured, configured or indicated by the network side, the moment predefined by the protocol, the specific time interval is indicated or configured by the network side, or predefined by the protocol.

[0181] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0182] In this example, the target cell can be a secondary cell (Scell). This embodiment facilitates network-side devices to obtain Scell ​​measurement results as early or more easily as possible. Furthermore, it can meet the requirement that the Scell ​​is in a known state, thereby reducing Scell ​​handover latency and energy consumption of the terminal and network-side devices. Alternatively, it can facilitate network-side devices to obtain information related to the communication quality of the Scell, thereby assisting the network-side devices in performing subsequent operations such as secondary cell activation and handover.

[0183] 7) The measurement result is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0184] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0185] 8) The number of measurements or the measurement time of the measurement target is greater than or equal to a third threshold. For example, when the measurement target includes a reference signal, and the reference signal includes an SSB, if the number of SSB measurements is greater than the third threshold, or the SSB measurement time is greater than the third threshold, the terminal may report the SSB measurement result. It will be understood that the value of the third threshold corresponding to the number of measurements may be different from the value of the third threshold corresponding to the measurement time.

[0186] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0187] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met may be determined based on whether the measurement time or the number of measurements meets the third threshold.

[0188] 9) The measurement targets are for demand-based SSB.

[0189] This example implicitly instructs the terminal to report the corresponding measurement results after measuring the demand-based SSB.

[0190] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0191] 10) There are uplink resources available to report the measurement results.

[0192] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements. If there are available uplink resources, the measurement results can be reported. This helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0193] 11) The measurement-related timer expires, the reporting countdown timer expires (reaches the maximum interval), or the timer allowing reporting does not expire.

[0194] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0195] 12) The configuration time or activation time of the measurement target reaches the threshold.

[0196] For example, after a period of time after configuring MO, the terminal is triggered to report the measurement results. This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network or terminal.

[0197] The terminal's report content meets at least one of the following requirements:

[0198] 1) Layer 3 (L3) measurement report.

[0199] 2) Layer 1 (L1) measurement report.

[0200] 3) Channel State Information (CSI) reporting.

[0201] The terminal can determine whether to report and report the L1 or L3 measurement report, as well as the content of the measurement report, such as RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, etc., based on the first condition, cell status, measurement object, etc.

[0202] For example, if the Scell ​​is not activated and the terminal detects the transmission of an on-demand SSB, it reports an L3 measurement report, thereby meeting the Scell ​​known condition and applying the Scell ​​fast activation process. If a Scell ​​activation command is received, the CSI report is reported to complete the Scell ​​activation process.

[0203] Example 3

[0204] This embodiment mainly introduces other scenarios for triggering measurement reporting.

[0205] In order to avoid the situation where the terminal performs measurement but fails to meet the measurement reporting conditions, the measurement results cannot be reported, and thus the requirements of the network side or the terminal side cannot be met, it is possible to consider introducing more measurement reporting possibilities, or measurement reporting behaviors in specific scenarios, including at least one of the following.

[0206] 1) When the first indication indicates or configures Scell ​​configuration, addition, and activation, measurement reporting is triggered.

[0207] After a certain processing time has passed since the Scell ​​was added, the terminal is triggered to report measurement results. One benefit is that if the network quickly activates the Scell, it is likely to meet known conditions, making it suitable for fast cell activation. Another benefit is that the network can quickly determine the terminal's signal quality in the Scell, thereby determining whether to activate, release, or deactivate it.

[0208] 2) When the MO associated with the terminal measurement is an event-triggered reporting method, the terminal is triggered to report the measurement results aperiodically to avoid the terminal not meeting the reporting conditions of the configured event for a long time and thus not reporting the measurement results.

[0209] 3) When the terminal does not meet the first condition for a long time, measurement reporting is triggered.

[0210] If the terminal does not meet the first condition for a long time due to low mobility or other reasons, but has been measuring or meeting specific conditions, such as duration, measurement threshold, etc., it can trigger the network side to provide resources for reporting through SR / BSR, etc., and it may also be reported through available CG, DG and other resources.

[0211] 4) After the terminal has not reported for a long time, the measurement report is triggered.

[0212] 5) The time during which the relative change value of the terminal's measurement result is less than the threshold is greater than the threshold, triggering measurement reporting.

[0213] The measurement report may directly instruct the terminal to report the measurement result, instruct the terminal to report the resource of the measurement result, or instruct the terminal to perform periodic measurement reporting, semi-static measurement reporting, dynamic measurement reporting, or configure a lower reporting threshold.

[0214] Example 4

[0215] This embodiment mainly introduces the signaling type of the first indication, and the first indication can be carried by the first signaling.

[0216] The first signaling instructing the terminal to report the measurement results can be an independent signaling, or can be implicitly indicated by the following signaling: on-demand SSB trigger signaling, Scell ​​activation or deactivation signaling, MO activation, deactivation, addition or deletion signaling, or Scell ​​configuration, addition or deletion signaling (hereinafter referred to as second signaling).

[0217] When the first signaling and the second signaling instructing the terminal to report the measurement result are the same, the following conditions are met:

[0218] 1) The first signaling is a display signaling, for example, the first signaling is an indication field in the second signaling, and this indication field is newly added or reinterpreted by other indication fields; or it is a newly involved signaling that includes both the first signaling and the second signaling, for example, triggering an on-demand SSB and instructing the terminal to report measurement results.

[0219] 2) The first signaling is implicit signaling. For example, when the terminal receives the on-demand SSB trigger signaling, it considers that the first signaling has been received.

[0220] When the first signaling and the second signaling instructing the terminal to report the measurement result are different signalings, at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0221] 1) The first signaling and the second signaling are sent simultaneously by the network side.

[0222] 2) The first signaling and the second signaling are sent independently (not required to be sent simultaneously).

[0223] 3) The interval between sending the first signaling and the second signaling is not greater than the threshold value.

[0224] The signaling of the first signaling satisfies at least one of the following examples:

[0225] In one example, the first indication is carried by a DCI, which may be a UE-specific DCI. For example, the first indication is carried in a single-cell uplink scheduling DCI such as DCI 0_0, DCI 0_1, or DCI 0_2, or in a single-cell downlink scheduling DCI such as DCI 1_0, DCI 1_1, or DCI 1_2, and may be a scheduling DCI or a non-scheduling DCI.

[0226] In one example, the first indication is carried by DCI, which may be a new group common DCI.

[0227] For example, the first indication is a specific Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI) (CRC scrambled by a specific RNTI), and this RNTI indicates triggering or activating the terminal to perform signal measurement on the first cell.

[0228] Optionally, a block in the group-common DCI corresponds to a specific terminal, and different target cells are indicated to different terminals, with the indication information reflected in the DCI block, or a unified cell list is indicated to indicate which cells do not need to be measured to different terminals.

[0229] Optionally, a block in the group-common DCI corresponds to an indication granularity, such as a cell or frequency. Each block is configured with information about the terminals that need to report measurement results, such as their IDs. The network configures or instructs the terminal to read the block configurations in the DCI based on the granularity of each terminal. Different blocks may correspond to different indication granularities.

[0230] In one example, the first indication is carried by DCI, which may reuse an existing group common DCI, for example, explicitly configuring whether the DCI contains the first indication, or reinterpreting some existing fields to send the first indication.

[0231] In one example, the first indication is carried by a MAC CE, which may be a new MAC CE or an existing MAC CE, and the first indication is sent by reinterpreting the existing indication in the MAC CE, such as a Scell ​​activation or deactivation MAC CE.

[0232] In one example, the first indication is carried by RRC signaling, such as RRC measurement configuration or reconfiguration information, or Scell ​​activation or deactivation information.

[0233] The above describes in detail the method for triggering measurement reporting according to an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with Figure 2. The following describes in detail the method for triggering measurement reporting according to another embodiment of the present application in conjunction with Figure 3. It will be understood that the interaction between the network-side device and the terminal described from the perspective of the network-side device is the same as or corresponds to the description of the terminal side in the method shown in Figure 2. To avoid repetition, the relevant description is appropriately omitted.

[0234] FIG3 is a flow chart of a triggering method for measurement reporting according to an embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to a network-side device. As shown in FIG3 , the method 300 includes the following steps.

[0235] S302: The network side device receives the measurement result of the measurement target when the second condition is met; wherein the measurement target includes at least one of the following: a measurement object, a reference signal, a target cell; wherein the second condition includes at least one of the following: a first indication is sent; the target cell satisfies a first characteristic; the terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell; the duration for which the terminal has not reported the measurement result reaches a first threshold; the terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell before a first moment, or before a specific time interval before the first moment; the measurement target is for a demand-based SSB.

[0236] The first moment is at least one of the following: the current moment, the configuration moment of the target cell, the activation moment of the target cell, and the deactivation moment of the target cell.

[0237] In the measurement reporting triggering method provided in an embodiment of the present application, a network-side device receives measurement results of a measurement target, where a second condition is met. The measurement target includes at least one of the following: a measurement object, a reference signal, or a target cell. The second condition allows for setting more relaxed reporting requirements, which facilitates the network-side device to obtain measurement results sooner or more easily, meeting network-side or terminal-side requirements. For example, this facilitates timely decision-making by the network-side device and reduces energy consumption of both the terminal and the network-side device.

[0238] In one embodiment, the first indication includes or is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0239] 1) Triggering or activation indication of on-demand SSB.

[0240] The first indication may be a trigger or activation indication of the on-demand SSB, implicitly instructing the terminal to report a corresponding measurement result after measuring the on-demand SSB.

[0241] 2) The measurement result reporting instruction, in this example, may explicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement result.

[0242] Optionally, the reporting indication can directly indicate reporting resources, i.e., directly instruct the terminal on the resources for reporting measurement results. Optionally, the reporting indication is only for triggering the reporting of measurement results for on-demand SSB, which helps the network-side device obtain the Scell ​​measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meets the Scell ​​known state requirement, and further helps reduce Scell ​​handover delay and reduce energy consumption of the terminal and network-side devices.

[0243] 3) Target cell configuration, addition, deletion, activation, or deactivation. For example, in the case of Scell ​​configuration or addition, it is expected that the terminal reports a measurement result as soon as possible after the Scell ​​configuration or addition, so that the network side obtains information related to the communication quality of the Scell, or the network side activates the Scell ​​soon after the Scell ​​configuration, so as to easily meet the Scell ​​known (known) condition, thereby facilitating the reduction of Scell ​​handover delay and energy consumption of the terminal and network side equipment. Alternatively, it is beneficial for the network side equipment to obtain information related to the communication quality of the Scell, thereby assisting the network side equipment in performing subsequent secondary cell activation, handover, and other operations.

[0244] 4) Adding, modifying, deleting, activating, or deactivating a measurement object (MO). This measurement object can be, for example, a frequency point to be measured. For example, after an MO is added or activated, the terminal is expected to report a measurement result. This example can implicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement result, saving signaling overhead.

[0245] 5) The first event is configured in the measurement reporting configuration. For example, when an on-demand SSB is added via an MO, the corresponding first event that triggers the reporting of measurement results can be configured in the measurement reporting configuration. This example can implicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement results as early as possible, saving signaling overhead.

[0246] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first indication includes an indication for reporting the measurement result, where the indication includes or is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0247] 1) The terminal reports the measurement result. For example, upon receiving a reporting instruction, the terminal requests resources or uses available uplink resources to report the measurement result. It is understood that reporting the measurement result requires generating the measurement result first.

[0248] 2) The terminal reports the measurement result when the first condition is met. Optionally, the reporting indication may indicate the first condition, or may enable the first condition.

[0249] 3) The terminal applies for resources required for reporting after generating the measurement result. It can be understood that the network side allows the terminal to request resources for reporting the measurement result after obtaining the measurement result.

[0250] 4) Resources for reporting the measurement results: It is understandable that the network directly indicates to the terminal the resources for reporting the measurement results.

[0251] 5) The earliest time, latest time or time range for reporting the measurement results.

[0252] 6) One or more measurement targets associated with the measurement result. It can be understood that the network instructs the terminal to report the measurement results of which measurement targets.

[0253] 7) The measurement time of the measurement target.

[0254] 8) Content of measurement report.

[0255] 9) The identifier of the terminal (such as UE ID).

[0256] 10) The index, frequency or identifier of the measurement target, such as SSB index, frequency, cell identifier, MO identifier, and measurement identifier (measId). It is understood that the network instructs the terminal to report the measurement results of which measurement targets.

[0257] Optionally, in one embodiment, the target cell satisfies the first characteristic including at least one of the following: the target cell is the serving cell of the terminal; the target cell is the primary serving cell or the secondary serving cell of the terminal; the target cell is not activated; the target cell does not meet the condition of SSB-less secondary cell (SSB-less Scell); the measurement of the target cell is intra-frequency or inter-frequency measurement; the target cell and the primary cell (Pcell) or the activated serving cell (active serving cell) are intra-band cells or inter-band cells; the target cell is an unknown secondary cell.

[0258] Optionally, in one embodiment, the resources used to carry the measurement result meet at least one of the following requirements:

[0259] 1) Configured or instructed by network-side equipment.

[0260] 2) Located in the cell associated with the measurement result, or located in the primary cell or the activated serving cell.

[0261] 3) Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resources or Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources.

[0262] 4) It is a configured grant (Configured Grant, CG) resource or a dynamic grant (Dynamic Grant, DG) resource. For example, when there are available CG or DG resources, the terminal reports the measurement result.

[0263] 5) is the resource requested by the terminal through a Buffer Status Report (BSR) or Scheduling Request (SR). For example, when there is no available CG or DG, the terminal requests the network side to send uplink resources for measurement reports.

[0264] The triggering method for measurement reporting provided in the embodiment of the present application may be performed by a triggering device for measurement reporting. In the embodiment of the present application, the triggering method for measurement reporting performed by the triggering device for measurement reporting is used as an example to illustrate the triggering device for measurement reporting provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0265] FIG4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a device for triggering measurement reporting according to an embodiment of the present application, which can be applied to terminals in other embodiments. As shown in FIG4 , the device 400 includes the following modules.

[0266] The sending module 402 can be used to report the measurement result of the measurement target when a first condition is met; wherein the measurement target includes at least one of the following: a measurement object, a reference signal, and a target cell; wherein the first condition includes at least one of the following: receiving a first indication; an occurrence of a first event; the target cell meets a first characteristic; the terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell; the duration for which the terminal has not reported the measurement result reaches a first threshold; the terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell before a first moment or before a specific time interval before the first moment; the first moment is at least one of the following: the current moment, the configuration moment of the target cell, the activation moment of the target cell, and the deactivation moment of the target cell; the measurement result is greater than or equal to a second threshold; the number of measurements or the measurement time of the measurement target is greater than or equal to a third threshold; the measurement target is for a demand-based SSB; there are uplink resources to report the measurement result; the measurement-related timer expires, the reporting countdown timer expires, or the timer allowing reporting has not expired; the configuration time or activation time of the measurement target reaches a threshold.

[0267] In an embodiment of the present application, apparatus 400 reports measurement results of a measurement target when a first condition is met. The measurement target includes at least one of the following: a measurement object, a reference signal, and a target cell. The first condition allows for setting relatively loose reporting requirements, which facilitates network-side devices to obtain measurement results sooner or more easily, meeting network-side or terminal-side requirements. For example, this facilitates timely decision-making by network-side devices and reduces energy consumption of terminals and network-side devices.

[0268] In one embodiment, the first indication includes or is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0269] 1) Triggering or activation indication of on-demand SSB.

[0270] The first indication may be a trigger or activation indication of the on-demand SSB, implicitly instructing the terminal to report a corresponding measurement result after measuring the on-demand SSB.

[0271] 2) The measurement result reporting instruction, in this example, may explicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement result.

[0272] Optionally, the reporting indication can directly indicate reporting resources, i.e., directly instruct the terminal on the resources for reporting measurement results. Optionally, the reporting indication is only for triggering the reporting of measurement results for on-demand SSB, which helps the network-side device obtain the Scell ​​measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meets the Scell ​​known state requirement, and further helps reduce Scell ​​handover delay and reduce energy consumption of the terminal and network-side devices.

[0273] 3) Target cell configuration, addition, deletion, activation, or deactivation. For example, in the case of Scell ​​configuration or addition, it is expected that the terminal reports a measurement result as soon as possible after the Scell ​​configuration or addition, so that the network side obtains information related to the communication quality of the Scell, or the network side activates the Scell ​​soon after the Scell ​​configuration, so as to easily meet the Scell ​​known (known) condition, thereby facilitating the reduction of Scell ​​handover delay and energy consumption of the terminal and network side equipment. Alternatively, it is beneficial for the network side equipment to obtain information related to the communication quality of the Scell, thereby assisting the network side equipment in performing subsequent secondary cell activation, handover, and other operations.

[0274] 4) Adding, modifying, deleting, activating, or deactivating a measurement object (MO). This measurement object can be, for example, a frequency point to be measured. For example, after an MO is added or activated, the terminal is expected to report a measurement result. This example can implicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement result, saving signaling overhead.

[0275] 5) The first event is configured in the measurement reporting configuration. For example, when an on-demand SSB is added via an MO, the corresponding first event that triggers the reporting of measurement results can be configured in the measurement reporting configuration. This example can implicitly instruct the terminal to report the corresponding measurement results as early as possible, saving signaling overhead.

[0276] Optionally, the first event mentioned in each of the above embodiments may include at least one of the following:

[0277] 1) The measurement result of the target cell is greater than a second threshold or less than a second threshold.

[0278] This embodiment can configure a relatively low second threshold, so that the first condition defined in the measurement reporting event is more easily met, which is beneficial for the network side device to obtain the measurement result as early as possible or more easily, and meet the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0279] For example, if the measurement result is a relative value and the relative value is consistently less than the second threshold, it may indicate that the terminal has not moved, and consideration may be given to requiring the terminal to report the measurement result once. Optionally, this event also determines whether the measurement time is greater than a third threshold, or whether the duration of not reporting the measurement result is greater than the first threshold. If the measurement time is greater than the third threshold, or the duration of not reporting the measurement result is greater than the first threshold, and the measurement result is less than the second threshold, the measurement result may be reported.

[0280] 2) The target cell or target frequency includes a Network Energy Saving (NES) cell. For example, if the terminal is measuring an NES cell, it is considered to meet the measurement reporting conditions, which helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as soon as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0281] 3) The measurement target is demand-based SSB. If the measured SSB is on-demand, it is considered that the measurement reporting conditions are met, which is conducive to the network side equipment obtaining the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, and meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0282] 4) The duration during which the terminal fails to report the measurement result reaches a first threshold.

[0283] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements. When a terminal performs measurement but does not report measurement results for a long time, the terminal can report the measurement results. This helps the network side equipment obtain the measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thus meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0284] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met is determined based on whether the duration for which the measurement result is not reported meets the first threshold.

[0285] 5) The terminal has not reported the measurement result of the target cell before the first moment or before a specific time interval before the first moment; the first moment is at least one of the following: the current moment, the configuration moment of the target cell, the activation moment of the target cell, the deactivation moment of the target cell, the moment pre-configured, configured or indicated by the network side, the moment predefined by the protocol, the specific time interval is indicated or configured by the network side, or predefined by the protocol.

[0286] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0287] 6) The number of measurements or the measurement time of the measurement target is greater than or equal to a third threshold. For example, when the measurement target includes a reference signal, and the reference signal includes an SSB, if the number of SSB measurements is greater than the third threshold, or the SSB measurement time is greater than the third threshold, the terminal may report the SSB measurement result. It will be understood that the value of the third threshold corresponding to the number of measurements may be different from the value of the third threshold corresponding to the measurement time.

[0288] This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, thereby meeting the requirements of the network side or the terminal side.

[0289] In this example, the size of the measurement result may not be considered, but whether the reporting condition is met may be determined based on whether the measurement time or the number of measurements meets the third threshold.

[0290] 7) The configuration time or activation time of the measurement target reaches a threshold.

[0291] For example, after a period of time after configuring MO, the terminal is triggered to report the measurement results. This example sets relatively loose reporting requirements, which helps network-side devices obtain measurement results as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirements of the network or terminal.

[0292] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first indication includes an indication for reporting the measurement result, where the indication includes or is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0293] 1) The terminal reports the measurement result. For example, upon receiving a reporting instruction, the terminal requests resources or uses available uplink resources to report the measurement result. It is understood that reporting the measurement result requires generating the measurement result first.

[0294] 2) The terminal reports the measurement result when the first condition is met. Optionally, the reporting indication may indicate the first condition, or may enable the first condition.

[0295] 3) The terminal applies for resources required for reporting after generating the measurement result. It can be understood that the network side allows the terminal to request resources for reporting the measurement result after obtaining the measurement result.

[0296] 4) Resources for reporting the measurement results: It is understandable that the network directly indicates to the terminal the resources for reporting the measurement results.

[0297] 5) The earliest time, latest time or time range for reporting the measurement results.

[0298] 6) One or more measurement targets associated with the measurement result. It can be understood that the network instructs the terminal to report the measurement results of which measurement targets.

[0299] 7) The measurement time of the measurement target.

[0300] 8) Content of measurement report.

[0301] 9) The identifier of the terminal (such as UE ID).

[0302] 10) The index, frequency or identifier of the measurement target, such as SSB index, frequency, cell identifier, MO identifier, and measurement identifier (measId). It is understood that the network instructs the terminal to report the measurement results of which measurement targets.

[0303] In one embodiment, the location of the resource used to report the measurement result, the earliest time or time range for reporting the measurement result, and the latest time or time range for reporting the measurement result can all be determined by the first information, which includes the first moment or the first interval.

[0304] The first moment is at least one of the following: 1) the sending moment of a reporting indication; 2) the sending moment of an activation or deactivation command of the target cell, such as the sending moment of an Scell ​​activation command; 3) the sending moment of configuration information of the target cell; 4) the triggering moment of a demand-based SSB; 5) the start sending moment or the end sending moment of a demand-based SSB; 6) the measurement start moment or the measurement end moment. The first moment may also be a moment indicated or configured by a network-side device.

[0305] The first interval is predefined, or preconfigured, configured, or indicated by a network-side device.

[0306] In one example, the first interval includes at least one of the following: processing time of the activation command or configuration information of the target cell, processing time of the reporting indication, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request Acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK) processing time, measurement time, measurement report generation time, and predefined processing time.

[0307] In one embodiment, the time of reporting the measurement result satisfies at least one of the following:

[0308] 1) Before the activation command of the target cell is sent, for example, before the Scell ​​activation command is sent.

[0309] 2) After the configuration information of the target cell is sent, for example, after the Scell ​​is configured.

[0310] This embodiment helps the network side device to obtain the Scell ​​measurement result as early as possible or more easily, meeting the requirement of the Scell ​​known state, thereby helping to reduce the Scell ​​handover delay and reduce the energy consumption of the terminal and the network side device.

[0311] In one embodiment, the first indication includes an indication for reporting a measurement result, and the indication satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0312] 1) The reporting indication is independent of the demand-based SSB indication.

[0313] 2) The reporting indication is independently indicated from the target cell configuration (eg, Scell ​​configuration).

[0314] 3) The reporting indication is independently indicated by the target cell activation or deactivation (eg, Scell ​​activation or deactivation).

[0315] This embodiment provides more flexible instructions by means of independent instructions.

[0316] It should be noted that the independent indication may refer to an indication sent at different times, or an indication sent by different signaling types, or an indication sent by different channels, or indicated by different indication fields.

[0317] In one embodiment, the reporting indication satisfies at least one of the following:

[0318] 1) The reporting indication is sent after the target cell is configured (such as Scell ​​configuration).

[0319] 2) The reporting indication is sent after the demand-based SSB trigger.

[0320] 3) The reporting indication is sent after the measurement object (MO) is activated.

[0321] 4) The reporting indication is sent before the activation command of the target cell (such as the Scell ​​activation command) is sent.

[0322] In one embodiment, the indication granularity of the first indication or the reporting indication mentioned in each of the above examples satisfies at least one of the following:

[0323] 1) Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) or PCI group.

[0324] 2) Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) frequency or SSB frequency group.

[0325] 3) Measurement Object (MO) or MO group.

[0326] 4) Cell or cell group.

[0327] In one embodiment, the reporting indication is carried by at least one of the following: DCI, MAC CE or RRC message.

[0328] In one embodiment, the target cell satisfies the first characteristic including at least one of the following: the target cell is the service cell of the terminal; the target cell is the primary service cell or the secondary service cell of the terminal; the target cell is not activated; the target cell does not meet the condition of no SSB secondary cell; the measurement of the target cell is the same frequency or different frequency measurement; the target cell and the primary cell Pcell or the activated service cell are intra-band cells or inter-band cells; the target cell is an unknown secondary cell.

[0329] In one embodiment, the resources used to carry the measurement results meet at least one of the following requirements:

[0331] 2) Located in the cell associated with the measurement result, or located in the primary cell or the activated serving cell.

[0334] 5) is the resource requested by the terminal through a Buffer Status Report (BSR) or a Scheduling Request (SR). For example, when there is no available CG or DG, the terminal requests the network side to send uplink resources for a measurement report.

For the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0336] The triggering device for measurement reporting in the embodiments of the present application can be an electronic device, such as an electronic device with an operating system, or a component in an electronic device, such as an integrated circuit or chip. The electronic device can be a terminal, or it can be a device other than a terminal. For example, the terminal can include but is not limited to the types of terminal 11 listed above, and the other device can be a server, a network attached storage (NAS), etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0337] FIG5 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a device for triggering measurement reporting according to an embodiment of the present application, which may correspond to a network-side device in other embodiments. As shown in FIG5 , the device 500 includes the following modules.
