[0128] FIG1 is a schematic diagram showing the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0129] As shown in FIG1 , a communication system 100 includes a terminal 101 and a network device 102 .

[0130] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes, for example, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, a Narrow Band-Internet of Things device (NB-IoT), a satellite communication device, a car with communication function, a smart car, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, a wireless terminal device in a smart home, and at least one of a reduced capability (RedCap) terminal, but is not limited thereto.

[0131] In some embodiments, the network device 102 is, for example, a node or device that connects a terminal to a wireless network.

[0133] In some embodiments, the access network device can be composed of a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), where the CU can also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can be used to split the protocol layer of the access network device, with the functions of some protocol layers centrally controlled by the CU, and the functions of the remaining part or all of the protocol layers distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU, but is not limited to this.

[0134] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0135] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities are arbitrary, and the entities may be physical or virtual. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0136] The embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to non-terrestrial networks (NTN), long term evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.17 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.18 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.19 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.21 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.22 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.23 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.24 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.25 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.26 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.27 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.28 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.29 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.30 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.31 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.32 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.33 (WiMAX ( 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems, systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0137] In some embodiments, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, AI technology has been widely used in various fields and industries. At the same time, AI technology is also accelerating its cross-penetration and integration with other disciplines.

[0138] In the field of communication technology, research on the application of AI technology in wireless air interfaces has also been proposed. AI technology is introduced into wireless air interfaces to assist and enhance the transmission of wireless air interfaces.

[0139] In some embodiments, AI technology can be introduced into positioning technology to perform AI-based positioning, etc.

[0140] In some embodiments, AI technology can also be introduced into channel estimation and measurement to perform AI-based beam management, etc.

[0141] In New Radio (NR), especially when the frequency band used for information transmission by communication devices is in frequency range 2, beam-based transmission and reception are required to ensure coverage due to the rapid attenuation of high-frequency channels.

[0142] In traditional beam management, the terminal needs to use all receive beams to measure each reference signal, which is computationally intensive and detrimental to terminal resource conservation. Therefore, AI-based beam management can be considered for enhancement.

[0143] In the related art, in conventional report configurations for beam measurement, if the beam measurement report is a non-group-based beam report (group-based beam report), each report configuration (reportconfig) can only be associated with one Channel Measurement Resource (CMR) set. However, only when the beam measurement report is a group-based beam report (group-based beam report) can a report configuration (reportconfig) be associated with two CMR sets. The two reference signal (RS) indexes (IDs) contained in each group in the beam report reported by the terminal come from different CMR sets.

[0144] However, in AI-based beam management, there may be multiple CMRs with different report quantities and reporting criteria. Therefore, how to configure the terminal's beam measurement report is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0145] The information sending method and device provided by the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0146] FIG2A is an interactive diagram of a method for sending information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for sending information, and the method includes:

[0147] Step S2101: The network device 102 sends first information.

[0148] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives the first information.

[0149] In some embodiments, the first information is used to determine at least two reference signal resource sets.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first information is used to configure at least two reference signal resource sets.

[0151] In some embodiments, the first information is used to configure multiple reference signal resource sets, wherein at least two reference signal resource sets serve as channel measurement resources (CMRs).

[0152] In some embodiments, the first information is used to configure a reference signal resource set. The terminal determines two or more reference signal resource sets based on the reference signal resource set. For example, the first information configures a reference signal resource set as the second set, while a portion of the reference signal resources in the second set are reference signal resources of the first set. Alternatively, the first information configures a reference signal resource set as a portion of the reference signal resources of the first set, while another portion of the reference signal resources are reference signal resources of the second set. The specific determination of the two or more reference signal resource sets may be based on instructions from a network device or pre-set protocol rules.

[0153] In some embodiments, as an example, such as selecting the first few, or evenly extracting from them, etc., the number of reference signal resources included in the above-mentioned first set can also be configured by the first information.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first information is further used to configure the type of one or more report quantities corresponding to the CMR.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first information includes an information element (IE) reportquantity, which can be used to configure the type of one or more report quantities corresponding to each CMR.

[0156] In some embodiments, the name of the above-mentioned first information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "configuration information", "report configuration", "measurement report configuration", "resource configuration", "measurement resource configuration", "report configuration information", "measurement resource configuration information", "AI measurement resource configuration" and the like.

[0157] In some embodiments, the at least two reference signal resource sets serving as CMRs include a first set and a second set, wherein the first set includes one or more reference signal resource sets among the at least two reference signal resource sets, and the second set includes one or more reference signal resource sets among the at least two reference signal resource sets.

[0158] Optionally, the second set includes all remaining reference signal resource sets in the at least two reference signal resource sets.

[0159] As an example, the first information configures two reference signal resource sets as CMRs, the first set includes one of the reference signal resource sets, and the second set includes the other reference signal resource set.

[0160] In some embodiments, the number of reference signal resources in the reference signal resource set included in the first set is less than or equal to the number of reference signal resources in the reference signal resource set included in the second set.

[0161] As an example, the first set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set B), and the second set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set A). Set A may include 32 reference signal resources (each reference signal resource corresponds to a beam direction), and set B may include N reference signal resources therein, where N is less than or equal to 32.

[0162] As an example, the first set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set B), the second set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set A), and set B is a subset of set A.

[0163] In some embodiments, one or more reference signals in the reference signal resource set included in the second set have a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship with the same reference signal in the reference signal resource set included in the first set.

[0164] As an example, the first set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set B), and the second set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set A). Set A may include 32 reference signal resources (each reference signal resource corresponds to a beam direction, and the 32 reference signal resources cover a total of 120 degrees of direction), and set B may include N reference signal resources, where N is less than or equal to 32, for example, N=8, etc. The N reference signal resources also cover a direction of 120 degrees, and the beam direction of each reference signal resource in set B covers the beam directions of multiple (32 / N) reference signals in set A. That is, the 32 / N reference signal resources in set A have a QCL relationship with the same reference signal resource in set B.

[0165] In some embodiments, a reference signal within the reference signal resource set included in the second set has a quasi-co-sited QCL relationship with the same reference signal within the reference signal resource set included in the first set. That is, two reference signal resources with the same or closest beam directions have a QCL relationship.

[0166] In some embodiments, the reference signal resources included in the above-mentioned reference signal resource set may include at least one of the following: a synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB), a channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS).

[0167] In some embodiments, the type of the reported amount may include at least one of the following:

[0168] An index of a reference signal resource;

[0169] The quality corresponding to the reference signal resource.

[0170] Optionally, the index of the reference signal resource may include at least one of the following: a synchronization signal block SSB index (index), a channel state information reference signal resource index (CSI-RS Resource Index, CRI).

[0171] Optionally, the quality corresponding to the reference signal resource may include at least one of the following: the layer 1 reference signal received power (Layer 1-Reference Signal Receiving Power, L1-RSRP) corresponding to the reference signal resource, and the layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (Layer 1-Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, L1-SINR) corresponding to the reference signal resource.

[0172] In each embodiment of the present application, for ease of description, the reference signal resources reported by terminal 101 for the first set are referred to as first reference signal resources, and the reference signal resources reported for the second set are referred to as second reference signal resources. The first reference signal resources are included in the first set, and the second reference signal resources are included in the second set.

[0173] Optionally, the first reference signal resource and the second reference signal resource may be the same reference signal resource or different reference signal resources.

[0174] For example, the first set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set B), and the second set includes a reference signal resource set (denoted as set A). For example, set A may include 32 reference signal resources (each reference signal resource corresponds to a beam direction), and set B may include N reference signal resources. The N reference signal resources may be included in the 32 reference signal resources, such as N=8, set A includes 32 beams indexed from 1 to 32, and set B may include 8 beams indexed from {1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29}. Based on this, it can be understood that the first reference signal resource and the second reference signal resource may be the same reference signal resource (for example, the reference signal resource reported by the terminal 101 for set B and set A are both beams indexed from 13, etc.), or different reference signal resources (for example, the reference signal resource reported by the terminal 101 for set B is the beam indexed from 13, and the reference signal resources reported for set A are both beams indexed from 14 and 15, etc.).

[0175] In some embodiments, the type of the report quantity corresponding to the first set is the same as the type of the report quantity corresponding to the second set, and the number of both is 1.

[0176] Optionally, the report quantity corresponding to the first set is the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource, and the second reference signal resource is the quality corresponding to the second reference signal resource.

[0177] Optionally, the report quantity corresponding to the first set is the index of the first reference signal resource, and the second reference signal resource is the index of the second reference signal resource.

[0178] As an example, terminal 101 reports L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to one or more reference signal resources in the first set for the terminal, and reports L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to one or more reference signal resources in the second set for the terminal.

[0179] In some embodiments, the report quantity corresponding to the first set is the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource, and the report quantity corresponding to the second set is the index of the second reference signal resource.

[0180] Optionally, the terminal 101 reports the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the first reference signal resource for the first set, and reports the SSB index / CRI of the second reference signal resource for the second set.

[0181] Optionally, the number of first reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0182] Optionally, the number of the second reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0183] Optionally, the second reference signal resource is one or more reference signal resources with the best quality among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set. The number of reference signal resources reported by terminal 101 may be pre-defined by a protocol, or configured or indicated by network device 102.

[0184] In some embodiments, the report quantity corresponding to the first set is the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource and the index of the first reference signal resource, and the report quantity corresponding to the second set is the index of the second reference signal resource.

[0185] Optionally, the terminal 101 reports the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the first reference signal resource and the SSB index / CRI of the first reference signal resource for the first set, and reports the SSB index / CRI of the second reference signal resource for the second set.

[0186] Optionally, the number of first reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0187] Optionally, the number of the second reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0188] Optionally, the index of the first reference signal resource may be an index of one or more reference signal resources with the best quality (e.g., a reference signal resource with the largest corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR) among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set; or an index of each reference signal resource included in the first set; or an index of one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0189] Optionally, the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource may be the quality of each reference signal resource included in the first set; may also be the quality corresponding to one or more reference signal resources with the best quality among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set; or may also be the quality corresponding to one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources whose quality is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0190] Optionally, the index of the first reference signal resource may be explicitly indicated by a first indication.

[0191] Optionally, the first indication is included in the second information and sent by the terminal 101 to the network device 102 as a report amount.

[0192] Optionally, the first indication may be an index of the first reference signal resource explicitly indicated by a code point.

[0193] As an example, the first set (denoted as set B) includes 16 reference signal resources, and a 4-bit indication information can be used to indicate any one of the reference signal resources in a code point manner.

[0194] As an implementation, the terminal 101 reports the quality of set B, including a 4-bit information indicating the index corresponding to the reference signal resource with the strongest L1-RSRP / L1-SINR in set B. For the quality report, for other reference signal resources in set B, the corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR is reported in the order of the reference signal resource indices.

[0195] As another implementation, terminal 101 may use a 4-bit information to indicate the index of each reference signal resource in set B. For quality reporting, for each reference signal resource in set B, the corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR is reported in the order of the reference signal resource index.

[0196] As another implementation, the terminal 101 may use 4-bit information to indicate the index of a reference signal resource for some reference signal resources in set B, and report the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the reference signal resources.

[0197] Optionally, the index of the first reference signal resource may also be implicitly indicated by the first indication.

[0198] Optionally, the first indication is included in the second information and sent by the terminal 101 to the network device 102 as a report amount.

[0199] Optionally, the first indication may be an implicit indication of the index of the first reference signal resource in a bitmap manner.

[0200] As an example, the first set (denoted as set B) includes 16 reference signal resources. A 16-bit indication information can be used in a bitmap format, where each bit corresponds to a reference signal resource. The bit indication can indicate whether the second information includes the quality corresponding to the reference signal resource corresponding to the bit.

[0201] As an implementation method, the value of this bit is "1", indicating that the second information includes the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource, and the value is "0", indicating that the second information does not include the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource, or the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource is lower than the preset threshold.

[0202] As another implementation, when multiple bits are set to "1", 4 bits of information may be further used to indicate the reference signal resource with the largest L1-RSRP / L1-SINR among the multiple reference signal resources reported. For quality reporting, the absolute value of the largest L1-RSRP / L1-SINR may be reported, and the other reference signal resources may report the difference relative to the largest L1-RSRP / L1-SINR.

[0203] Optionally, the index of the second reference signal resource may be an index of one or more reference signal resources with the best quality (for example, a reference signal resource with the largest corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR) among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set; or an index of each reference signal resource included in the second set; or an index of one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set, etc. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0204] Optionally, the index of the second reference signal resource may be explicitly or implicitly indicated by a second indication. The indication method of the second indication is similar to the above-mentioned first indication.

[0205] Optionally, the second indication is included in the second information and sent by the terminal 101 to the network device 102 as a report amount.

[0206] As an example, the second set (denoted as set A) includes 64 reference signal resources, and a 6-bit indication information can indicate the index of any reference signal resource in the set by means of a code point.

[0207] As an implementation, k 6-bit information may be used to indicate the indexes of the k best quality reference signal resources in the reference signal resources included in set A. It is understood that the second indication is similar to the first indication, and will not be described in detail here.

[0208] As an example, the second set (denoted as setA) includes 64 reference signal resources, which can be represented by a 64-bit indication information in a bitmap format, with each bit corresponding to a reference signal resource. The bit indication can indicate whether the second information includes the quality corresponding to the reference signal resource corresponding to the bit.

[0209] As an implementation method, the value of this bit is "1", indicating that the second information includes the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource, and the value is "0", indicating that the second information does not include the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource, or the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the reference signal resource is lower than the preset threshold.

[0210] In some embodiments, the report quantity corresponding to the first set is the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource and the index of the first reference signal resource, and the report quantity corresponding to the second set is the quality corresponding to the second reference signal resource.

[0211] Optionally, the terminal 101 reports the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the first reference signal resource and the SSB index / CRI of the first reference signal resource for the first set, and reports the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the second reference signal resource for the second set.

[0212] Optionally, the number of first reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0213] Optionally, the number of the second reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0214] Optionally, the index of the first reference signal resource may be an index of one or more reference signal resources with the best quality (e.g., a reference signal resource with the largest corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR) among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set; or an index of each reference signal resource included in the first set; or an index of one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0215] Optionally, the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource may be the quality of each reference signal resource included in the first set; may also be the quality corresponding to one or more reference signal resources with the best quality among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set; or may also be the quality corresponding to one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources whose quality is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0216] Optionally, the quality corresponding to the second reference signal resource may be the quality corresponding to one or more reference signal resources with the best quality among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set; may also be the quality corresponding to each reference signal resource included in the second set; may also be the quality corresponding to one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set, and so on. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0217] Optionally, the manner in which the terminal 101 reports the index of the first reference signal resource and the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource for the first set may refer to the manner described in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0218] Optionally, the terminal 101 reports the quality corresponding to the second reference signal resource for the second set, and may report the quality corresponding to one or more reference signal resources that need to be reported in the order of indexes of the reference signal resources.

[0219] Optionally, the quality corresponding to each reference signal resource in the second set may be reported in the order of the index of the reference signal resource.

[0220] In some embodiments, the report quantity corresponding to the first set is the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource and the index of the first reference signal resource, and the report quantity corresponding to the second set is the quality corresponding to the second reference signal resource and the index of the second reference signal resource.

[0221] Optionally, the terminal 101 reports the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the first reference signal resource and the SSB index / CRI of the first reference signal resource for the first set, and reports the L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponding to the second reference signal resource and the SSB index / CRI of the second reference signal resource for the second set.

[0222] Optionally, the number of first reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0223] Optionally, the number of the second reference signal resources may be one or more.

[0224] Optionally, the index of the first reference signal resource may be an index of one or more reference signal resources with the best quality (e.g., a reference signal resource with the largest corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR) among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set; or an index of each reference signal resource included in the first set; or an index of one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0225] Optionally, the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource may be the quality of each reference signal resource included in the first set; may also be the quality corresponding to one or more reference signal resources with the best quality among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set; or may also be the quality corresponding to one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the first set. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0226] Optionally, the index of the second reference signal resource may be an index of one or more reference signal resources with the best quality (e.g., a reference signal resource with the largest corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR) among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set; or an index of each reference signal resource included in the second set; or an index of one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0227] Optionally, the quality corresponding to the second reference signal resource may be the quality corresponding to one or more reference signal resources with the best quality among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set; may also be the quality corresponding to each reference signal resource included in the second set; may also be the quality corresponding to one or more specified reference signal resources among the multiple reference signal resources included in the second set, and so on. The specified one or more reference signal resources include reference signal resources with a quality greater than or equal to a threshold value.

[0228] Optionally, the manner in which the terminal 101 reports the index of the first reference signal resource and the quality corresponding to the first reference signal resource for the first set is the same as described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0229] Optionally, the index of the second reference signal resource may be explicitly indicated by a second indication.

[0230] Optionally, the second indication is included in the second information and sent by the terminal 101 to the network device 102 as a report amount.

[0231] Optionally, the second indication may be an index of the second reference signal resource explicitly indicated by a code point.

[0232] As an example, the second set (denoted as set A) includes 64 reference signal resources, and a 6-bit indication information can indicate the index of any reference signal resource in the set by means of a code point.

[0233] As an implementation, the index of each reference signal resource in set A can be indicated by 64 6-bit information, where the index of the reference signal resource with the best quality (corresponding to the largest L1-RSRP / L1-SINR) is placed at the front of the report, that is, the lowest bit of the 64*6 bits. For quality reporting, the absolute value of the largest L1-RSRP / L1-SINR can be reported, and the difference relative to the largest L1-RSRP / L1-SINR is reported for other reference signal resources.

[0234] Optionally, the index of the second reference signal resource may also be implicitly indicated by the second indication.
