Based on the embodiments in the disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the disclosure.

[0212] In order to more clearly understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the disclosure, first, some technical contents related to the embodiments of the disclosure are introduced.

[0213] 1. Layer one or layer two triggered mobility (L1 / L2 Triggered Mobility, LTM)

[0214] LTM is introduced in new radio (New Radio, NR) mobility, that is, the network pre-configures LTM candidate cell configuration information and LTM L1 measurement configuration information for the UE, the UE performs L1 measurement on the candidate cell based on the LTM L1 measurement configuration information and reports the LTM L1 measurement result to the network, and the network makes a cell change decision based on the L1 measurement result information reported by the UE. If the network decides to change the cell, the network will send a cell change command to the UE through a media access control layer control unit (Media Access Control Control Element, MAC CE), which carries the identification information of the target cell. When the UE receives the cell change MAC CE, the UE will perform cell change and access to the target candidate cell.

[0215] 2. L1 measurement reporting

[0216] The current LTM L1 measurement reference signal and reporting configuration are configured to the terminal through the radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling, and then the terminal performs measurement based on the configured L1 reference signal, and reports the L1 measurement result on the corresponding physical channel through the configured reporting resource, wherein the reporting mode includes periodic physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH) reporting, semi-persistent PUCCH reporting, semi-persistent physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH) reporting, and aperiodic PUSCH reporting.

[0217] The event-triggered L1 measurement reporting mechanism is currently being discussed, but how the UE performs measurement reporting and which measurement results are reported when the measurement reporting event is satisfied (triggered) is not clear.

[0218] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an event-triggered layer one measurement reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal, as shown in FIG. 1, the method comprises the following steps:

[0219] Step 100, after determining that at least one measurement reporting event is satisfied, determining to trigger a measurement reporting based on first measurement reporting configuration information.

[0220] Step 101, determining the measurement result carried by the current measurement reporting based on second measurement reporting configuration information.

[0221] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first measurement reporting configuration information is used to configure the condition or rule of the UE initiating measurement reporting (i.e., reporting of measurement results) when the measurement reporting event is satisfied (i.e., the threshold condition corresponding to the measurement reporting event is satisfied). The second measurement reporting configuration information is used to configure the measurement result that can be carried by the UE at each measurement reporting.

[0222] When the UE measurement evaluation finds that at least one measurement reporting event is satisfied, the UE determines whether to trigger a measurement reporting based on the first measurement reporting configuration information.

[0223] When the UE determines to trigger a measurement reporting and performs the measurement reporting, the measurement result required to be carried by the current measurement reporting can be determined based on the second measurement reporting configuration information.

[0224] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement reporting event can be configured for a cell or configured for a beam, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

[0225] The method for reporting layer 1 measurement based on event triggering provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be used to determine, after determining that at least one measurement reporting event is met, the UE to determine to trigger measurement reporting once based on first measurement reporting configuration information, so as to avoid triggering unnecessary measurement reporting frequently and reduce reporting overhead. In the case of determining to perform measurement reporting, the UE can determine the measurement result carried by the current measurement reporting based on second measurement reporting configuration information, so as to effectively solve the problem of layer 1 measurement reporting based on event triggering and improve the flexibility of layer 1 measurement reporting based on event triggering.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first measurement reporting configuration information comprises one or more of the following:

[0227] (1) Configuration information of continuous periodic reporting.

[0248] In some embodiments, the change amount can be an increase amount or a decrease amount.

[0249] In some embodiments, whether the change amount is specifically an increase amount or a decrease amount can be configured by the network.

[0250] In some embodiments, the second threshold can be a threshold preconfigured by the network or a preset threshold (such as 1).

For example, in the case that the measurement result change amount of at least one beam meeting an event is greater than the third threshold after the last measurement reporting, and the at least one beam meeting the event is not reported to the network, it is indicated that the third condition is met.

[0254] In some embodiments, the change amount can be an increase amount or a decrease amount.

[0267] In some embodiments, the fifth indication information can include indication information indicating reporting when newly added (i.e., the number of newly added beams meeting the event is greater than the fifth threshold, and the newly added beams meeting the event are not reported to the network) or reporting when reduced (i.e., the number of newly added beams not meeting the event is greater than the fifth threshold, the newly added beams not meeting the event have been reported to the network, and the network has not been notified after the event of not meeting, it can be understood that the newly added beams not meeting the event are also the reduced beams of the beams meeting the event) or both.

[0268] (9) Sixth indication information, the sixth indication information is used to indicate that the terminal triggers measurement reporting once under the condition that the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0269] The disclosure does not limit whether the beam with the best signal quality meets the event or not. The beam with the best signal quality can be a beam meeting the event or a beam not meeting the event. For example, the beam with the best signal quality can be a beam with the best signal quality among the beams meeting the event, or a beam with the best signal quality among all measured beams.

[0285] (11) the fourteenth indication information is used to indicate the terminal to report the index of the beam that does not satisfy the event, without reporting the measurement result.

[0286] (12) the fifteenth indication information is used to indicate the terminal to report the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality in the case that the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0287] The disclosure does not limit whether the beam with the best signal quality satisfies the event or not. The beam with the best signal quality can be a beam that satisfies the event or a beam that does not satisfy the event. For example, the beam with the best signal quality can be a beam with the best signal quality among the beams that satisfy the event, or a beam with the best signal quality among all the measured beams.

[0288] In some embodiments, the fifteenth indication information is used to indicate the UE to report the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality only in the case that the beam with the best signal quality changes, otherwise not to report.

[0289] In some embodiments, determining to trigger the measurement reporting once based on the first measurement reporting configuration information comprises:

[0290] performing a first operation for each measurement reporting event, the first operation comprising one or more of:

[0291] (1) determining whether the measurement reporting event is satisfied for the first time, and triggering the measurement reporting once in the case that the measurement reporting event is satisfied for the first time.

[0292] How to determine whether the measurement reporting event is satisfied for the first time (or triggered for the first time) can depend on the UE implementation, or be determined according to corresponding UE variables. For example, the UE can maintain some UE variables to record parameter information related to the measurement reporting event, wherein one or more of the UE variables can be used to determine whether the measurement reporting event is satisfied for the first time. Examples of the UE variables can be found in the following description, which will not be repeated here.

[0293] In some embodiments, the first time is calculated from the time when the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with the measurement reporting event expires, or from the time when the terminal receives the L1 measurement configuration information.

[0294] (2) determining whether the number of reporting times of the measurement reporting event is lower than the maximum number of reporting times configured by the network side, and triggering the measurement reporting once in the case that the number of reporting times of the measurement reporting event is lower than the maximum number of reporting times configured by the network side.

[0295] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the reporting times of the measurement reporting event is lower than the maximum reporting times configured by the network side can depend on the UE implementation or be determined according to the corresponding UE variable. For example, the UE maintains a certain UE variable for recording the times of measurement reporting triggered by the measurement reporting event (such as variable 2 in the following), and the value of the UE variable is compared with the maximum reporting times configured by the network side to determine whether the reporting times of the measurement reporting event is lower than the maximum reporting times configured by the network side.

[0296] (3) determining whether the time interval from the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side, and triggering measurement reporting once in the case that the time interval from the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side.

[0297] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the time interval from the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side can depend on the UE implementation or be determined according to the corresponding UE variable. For example, the UE maintains a certain UE variable for recording the absolute time information of measurement reporting triggered by the measurement reporting event (such as variable 1 in the following), and the current time is subtracted from the last measurement reporting time in the UE variable, and then compared with the reporting period configured by the network side to determine whether the time interval from the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side. Alternatively, whether the time interval from the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side can also be determined by variable 3 in the following, which can be referred to in the following description and will not be repeated here.

[0298] In some embodiments, the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event is calculated from the time when the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with the measurement reporting event expires, or from the time when the terminal receives the L1 measurement configuration information.

[0299] (4) determining whether the first condition is met, and triggering measurement reporting once in the case that the first condition is met.

[0300] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the first condition is met can depend on the UE implementation or be determined according to the corresponding UE variable. For example, the UE maintains a certain UE variable for recording the change amount of the measurement result at the time of triggering the current event compared with the measurement result at the time of triggering the last event (such as variable 4 in the following), and the value of the UE variable is compared with the first threshold to determine whether the first condition is met. Alternatively, whether the first condition is met can also be determined by variable 6 in the following, which can be referred to in the following description and will not be repeated here.

[0301] (5) determining whether the second condition is satisfied, and triggering measurement reporting once in the case that the second condition is satisfied.

[0302] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the second condition is satisfied can depend on UE implementation, or be determined according to corresponding UE variables. For example, the UE can maintain a UE variable to record the change amount of the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the current event triggering compared to the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the last event triggering (such as variable 5 hereinafter), and compare the value of the UE variable with a second threshold to determine whether the second condition is satisfied. Or whether the second condition is satisfied can also be determined by variable 7 hereinafter, which will be described hereinafter and will not be repeated here.

[0303] (6) determining whether the third condition is satisfied, and triggering measurement reporting once in the case that the third condition is satisfied.

[0304] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the third condition is satisfied can depend on UE implementation, or be determined according to corresponding UE variables. For example, the UE can maintain some UE variables to record parameter information related to the third condition, such as recording beams satisfying the event, measurement results of beams, change amounts of measurement results of beams, etc., so as to determine whether the third condition is satisfied by using these UE variables.

[0305] (7) determining whether the fourth condition is satisfied, and triggering measurement reporting once in the case that the fourth condition is satisfied.

[0306] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the fourth condition is satisfied can depend on UE implementation, or be determined according to corresponding UE variables. For example, the UE can maintain some UE variables to record parameter information related to the fourth condition, such as recording beams satisfying the event, measurement results of beams, change amounts of measurement results of beams, etc., so as to determine whether the fourth condition is satisfied by using these UE variables.

[0307] (8) determining whether the fifth condition is satisfied, and triggering measurement reporting once in the case that the fifth condition is satisfied.

[0308] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the fifth condition is satisfied can depend on UE implementation, or be determined according to corresponding UE variables. For example, the UE can maintain some UE variables to record parameter information related to the fifth condition, such as recording beams satisfying the event, beams not satisfying the event, etc., so as to determine whether the fifth condition is satisfied by using these UE variables.

[0309] (9) determining whether the beam with the best signal quality changes, and triggering measurement reporting once in the case that the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0310] In some embodiments, how to determine whether the beam with the best signal quality changes can depend on UE implementation or be determined according to a corresponding UE variable. For example, the UE can maintain a certain UE variable to record the beam with the best signal quality, so that the UE variable can be used to determine whether the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0311] (10) determining whether the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with the measurement reporting event is expired, and triggering measurement reporting once again for the measurement reporting event after the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with the measurement reporting event is expired.

[0312] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0313] In the case where the measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting once, a second operation is further performed for the measurement reporting event, and the second operation includes one or more of the following:

[0314] (1) determining whether to trigger subsequent measurement reporting according to the reporting period and the maximum number of reports configured by the network side without the measurement reporting event being satisfied.

[0315] For example, if a certain measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting once, the UE can directly determine whether to trigger subsequent measurement reporting according to the reporting period and the maximum number of reports configured by the network side without the measurement reporting event being satisfied.

[0316] (2) triggering measurement reporting once again for the measurement reporting event after the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with the measurement reporting event is expired without the measurement reporting event being satisfied.

[0317] For example, if a certain measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting once, the UE can directly trigger measurement reporting once for the measurement reporting event after the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with the measurement reporting event is expired without the measurement reporting event being satisfied.

[0318] (3) determining whether to trigger subsequent measurement reporting according to the reporting period and the maximum number of reports configured by the network side with the measurement reporting event being satisfied.

[0319] For example, if a certain measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting once, the UE still needs to trigger subsequent measurement reporting according to the reporting period and the maximum number of reports configured by the network side with the measurement reporting event being satisfied.

[0320] (4) triggering measurement reporting once again for the measurement reporting event after the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with the measurement reporting event is expired with the measurement reporting event being satisfied.

[0321] For example, if a measurement reporting event triggers a measurement reporting, the UE still needs to trigger a measurement reporting for the measurement reporting event after the measurement reporting prohibit timer associated with the measurement reporting event expires, if the measurement reporting event is still satisfied.

[0322] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0323] determining to perform the first operation if the measurement reporting prohibit timer associated with the measurement reporting event expires.

[0324] Specifically, before performing the first operation, the UE needs to determine whether the measurement reporting prohibit timer associated with the measurement reporting event expires, and when the measurement reporting prohibit timer expires, the UE performs the specified behavior in the first operation for the measurement reporting event.

[0325] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0326] after performing a measurement reporting, performing one or more of the following operations:

[0327] starting the measurement reporting prohibit timer associated with each measurement reporting event that satisfies the triggering condition at the current measurement reporting (i.e., each measurement reporting event that satisfies the triggering condition at the current measurement reporting);

[0328] incrementing the reporting number counter associated with each measurement reporting event that satisfies the triggering condition at the current measurement reporting;

[0329] updating the time difference between the current measurement reporting and the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event for each measurement reporting event that satisfies the triggering condition at the current measurement reporting;

[0330] recording the time information of the current measurement reporting for each measurement reporting event that satisfies the triggering condition at the current measurement reporting;

[0331] starting the measurement reporting prohibit timer associated with each measurement reporting event that triggers the current measurement reporting;

[0332] incrementing the reporting number counter associated with each measurement reporting event that triggers the current measurement reporting;

[0333] updating the time difference between the current measurement reporting and the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event for each measurement reporting event that triggers the current measurement reporting;

[0334] recording the time information of the current measurement reporting for each measurement reporting event that triggers the current measurement reporting.

[0335] In some embodiments, the measurement results carried by the current measurement report include one or more of the following:

[0336] the latest measurement results of the cell or beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event that caused the measurement results to be reported to the network due to an event trigger;

[0337] measurement results of the current serving cell;

[0338] measurement results of neighboring cells;

[0339] measurement results corresponding to the measurement reporting event that was satisfied this time;

[0340] measurement results corresponding to the measurement reporting event that caused the current measurement report to be triggered;

[0341] an index of the beam with the best signal quality among the beams that satisfied the event;

[0342] an index of the beams that satisfied the event;

[0343] an index of the beams that did not satisfy the event;

[0344] an index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or measurement results of the beam with the best signal quality.

[0345] In some embodiments, for the case where the measurement results carried by the report only include measurement results of the current serving cell, the number of measurement results does not exceed the maximum number of measurement results to be reported indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information. For example, assuming that the maximum number of measurement results to be reported indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information is Y, then the number of measurement results of the current serving cell reported is ≤ Y.

[0346] In some embodiments, for the case where the measurement results carried by the report only include measurement results of neighboring cells, the number of neighboring cells does not exceed the maximum number of cells to be reported indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information. Assuming that the maximum number of cells to be reported indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information is X, then the number of neighboring cells is ≤ X.

[0347] In some embodiments, for the case that the measurement result carried in the reporting only contains the measurement result of the neighbor cell, the number of the measurement result does not exceed the maximum number of reported measurement result indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information (if the maximum number of reported measurement result is for this reporting), or does not exceed the product of the maximum number of reported measurement result and the maximum number of reported cell indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information (if the maximum number of reported measurement result is for each reported cell). For example, assuming that the maximum number of reported measurement result indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information is Y (for this reporting), the number of the measurement result of the neighbor cell reported is ≤ Y. Assuming that the maximum number of reported measurement result indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information is Y (for each reported cell), and the maximum number of reported cell indicated in the second measurement reporting configuration information is X, the number of the measurement result of the neighbor cell reported is ≤ X*Y.

[0348] In some embodiments, the measurement result reported above includes one or more of the following:

[0349] Cell level measurement result;

[0350] Beam level measurement result;

[0351] Beam identification;

[0352] Cell identification.

[0353] In some embodiments, for the case that the measurement result reported includes the beam identification, the beam identification can be the identification of the beam satisfying the event, or the beam identification recommended by the UE.

[0354] In some embodiments, for the case that the measurement result reported includes the cell identification, the cell identification can be the identification of the cell satisfying the triggering condition of the measurement reporting event, or the cell identification recommended by the UE.

[0355] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0356] receiving the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information sent by the network device.

[0357] Specifically, the network side can configure the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information to the UE, so that the UE, after the measurement reporting event is satisfied, can determine to trigger a measurement reporting based on the first measurement reporting configuration information, and in the case of determining to perform the measurement reporting, determine the measurement result to be carried in this measurement reporting based on the second measurement reporting configuration information.

[0358] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0359] receiving the configuration identification sent by the network device;

[0360] determine the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information based on the configuration identifier.

[0361] Specifically, there can be various combinations between each item contained in the first measurement reporting configuration information and each item contained in the second measurement reporting configuration information, and each combination can correspond to a configuration identifier. The network side sends the corresponding configuration identifier to the UE according to the combination to be configured to the UE, and the UE determines the specific first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information according to the configuration identifier sent by the network side.

[0362] In some embodiments, the various combination modes can be agreed upon by the protocol and each combination mode can be uniquely numbered (i.e., the configuration identifier), and the UE can directly determine the specific first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information according to the configuration identifier sent by the network side.

[0363] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0364] receiving mapping indication information sent by the network device, the mapping indication information being used for indicating, for at least one configuration identifier, the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information mapped by each configuration identifier.

[0365] Specifically, in some embodiments, the mapping relationship between the configuration identifier and the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information can not be agreed upon by the protocol, but can be indicated to the UE by the network side. After receiving the configuration identifier sent by the network side, the UE determines the specific first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information according to the configuration identifier and the mapping indication information sent by the network side.

[0368] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0369] The mapping indication information is used to indicate, for at least one configuration identifier, that each configuration identifier maps first measurement reporting configuration information and / or second measurement reporting configuration information.

[0370] The methods provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are based on the same application concept, and the implementation of each method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0371] The methods provided by the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrated by examples of specific application scenarios.

[0372] Example 1: The UE can trigger periodic measurement reporting for each measurement reporting event.

[0373] Step 1-1: The network side issues an RRC reconfiguration message, which carries the configuration related to the event-triggered L1 measurement (measurement object (which can be a cell or a beam level), measurement reporting event associated with the measurement object, measurement evaluation criteria, etc.).

[0374] In some embodiments, in step 1-1, the network also configures the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information to the UE.

[0375] The first measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0376] Indicating the UE to perform continuous periodic reporting;

[0377] Reporting period (reporting interval);

[0378] Maximum number of reporting times;

[0379] Indication of whether the periodic reporting after the initial measurement reporting needs to meet the measurement reporting event.

[0380] The second measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0381] Indicating the UE to report the latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event for which the UE has reported the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0382] Indicating the UE to carry the measurement result of the current serving cell;

[0383] Indicating whether the measurement result reported by the UE contains the measurement result of the neighboring cell;

[0384] Indicating the maximum number X of cells reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting;

[0385] Indicating the maximum number of measurement results Y that the UE reports when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of measurement results for this time or the maximum number of measurement results for each reported cell;

[0386] Indicating the maximum number of beams Z that the UE reports when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of beams for this time or the maximum number of beams for each reported cell;

[0387] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement results corresponding to the measurement reporting event that meets this time when performing measurement reporting;

[0388] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement results corresponding to the measurement reporting event that triggers this time of measurement reporting when performing measurement reporting;

[0389] Indicating that the UE only reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality among the beams that meet the event, without reporting the measurement results;

[0390] Indicating that the UE only reports the index of the beam that meets the event, without reporting the measurement results;

[0391] Indicating that the UE reports the index of the beam that does not meet the event, without reporting the measurement results;

[0392] Indicating that the UE reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement results of the beam with the best signal quality in the case that the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0393] Step 1-2: The UE performs L1 measurement and evaluation based on the event-triggered L1 measurement configuration information provided by the network side.

[0394] In some embodiments, the UE maintains a UE variable or an element in a UE variable for each measurement reporting event. The UE variable is at least one of the following:

[0395] The absolute time variable (hereinafter referred to as variable 1) when the measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting (in some embodiments, a list is maintained for each measurement reporting event);

[0396] The UE variable is used to record the number of times when the measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting (hereinafter referred to as variable 2);

[0397] The UE variable is used to record the time difference between the measurement reporting event that meets and triggers measurement reporting and the most recent measurement reporting event of the measurement reporting event (hereinafter referred to as variable 3).

[0398] The UE initializes the above-mentioned UE variables respectively, such as initializing the above-mentioned variables 1 / 2 / 3 to 0.

[0399] Afterwards, the UE performs any of the following (i) and (ii):

[0400] (i): when the measurement reporting event is satisfied, trigger multiple periodic reporting, and the subsequent measurement reporting does not need to be performed under the condition that the measurement reporting event is satisfied.

[0401] Specifically:

[0402] Steps 1-3 are performed for each measurement reporting event:

[0403] Step 1-3-1: if the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, and the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time (satisfied for the first time), the UE determines to trigger a measurement reporting.

[0404] The determination that the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time can depend on the UE implementation judgment, or be determined according to the variable value of the corresponding UE variable being 0.

[0405] Step 1-3-2: every interval of the reporting period time configured by the network side (and without judging whether the measurement reporting event is satisfied), the UE performs the following operations:

[0406] The UE judges whether the number of reporting times exceeds the maximum number of reporting times configured by the network side:

[0407] If yes, the UE does not trigger a measurement reporting, and in some embodiments, stops the measurement evaluation for the event, or even if the subsequent measurement evaluation for the event is found to be satisfied, does not initiate the measurement reporting for the measurement evaluation event;

[0408] If not, the UE triggers a measurement reporting (without the condition that the measurement reporting event is satisfied).

[0409] Step 1-4: if the measurement reporting is triggered in the above step 1-3 (because multiple measurement reporting events are evaluated, there can be multiple measurement reporting triggered at the same time), the UE performs a measurement reporting operation.

[0410] In some embodiments, after the UE performs a measurement reporting each time, the UE updates the corresponding UE variable for each measurement reporting event that triggered this measurement reporting, and the specific operation includes at least one of the following:

[0411] For the case where variable 1 contains a list, a new element is added to the list of variable 1, and the new element is the time of this measurement reporting;

[0412] For the case that variable 1 contains a numerical value, the value in variable 1 is updated to the time of the current measurement report;

[0413] For variable 2, it is incremented by 1;

[0414] For variable 3, it is updated to the time difference between the current measurement report and the last measurement report event caused by the measurement report (when the first trigger report is triggered, the time difference is 0).

[0415] In some embodiments, the measurement results carried in the UE-initiated measurement report are determined according to the second measurement report configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement results carried in the measurement report are at least one of the following:

[0416] The latest measurement results of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement report event that reported the measurement results to the network due to the event trigger;

[0417] Only the measurement results of the current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤Y;

[0418] Only the measurement results of the neighboring cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤Y; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤X*Y; in some embodiments, the number of included neighboring cells ≤X;

[0419] Only the measurement results corresponding to the event that the measurement report event satisfies at the time of the current report;

[0420] Only the measurement results corresponding to the measurement report event that caused the current measurement report to be triggered;

[0421] Only the index of the beam with the best signal quality that satisfies the event;

[0422] Only the index of the beam that satisfies the event;

[0423] The index of the beam that does not satisfy the event;

[0424] The index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement results of the beam with the best signal quality.

[0425] The measurement results include one or more of the following:

[0426] Cell-level measurement results;

[0427] Beam-level measurement results;

[0428] Beam identification;

[0429] Cell identification.

[0430] (ii): for each measurement reporting event, if the measurement reporting event is satisfied, i.e. the periodic reporting is triggered.

[0431] Specifically:

[0432] Steps 1-3 are performed for each measurement reporting event respectively:

[0433] Step 1-3-1: if the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, and the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time (i.e. the measurement reporting has not been performed due to the measurement reporting event being satisfied), the UE determines to trigger the measurement reporting once.

[0434] Step 1-3-2: if the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, but the measurement reporting event is not triggered for the first time, and the measurement reporting has been performed due to the measurement reporting event being satisfied before, the UE performs the following operations:

[0435] The UE determines whether the time difference between the current triggering time and the time of the last measurement reporting due to the measurement reporting event being satisfied is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side:

[0436] If it is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side, the UE further determines whether the number of reporting performed for the measurement reporting event triggered is greater than the maximum number of reporting configured by the network side; if yes, the measurement reporting is not triggered once; if no, the measurement reporting is triggered once.

[0437] If it is not greater than the measurement reporting period configured by the network side, the UE does not trigger the measurement reporting once.

[0438] The "UE determines whether the time difference between the current triggering time and the time of the last measurement reporting due to the measurement reporting event being satisfied is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side" can be determined according to the UE implementation, and / or the corresponding UE variable 3 is greater than the reporting period, and / or the time of the current measurement reporting event being satisfied is subtracted from the time of the last measurement reporting triggered in the corresponding UE variable 1, and then it is determined whether the difference is greater than the reporting period.

[0439] The "UE determines whether the number of reporting performed for the measurement reporting event triggered is greater than the maximum number of reporting configured by the network side" can be determined according to the UE implementation, and / or the value of the corresponding UE variable 2 is greater than the maximum number of reporting configured by the network side.

[0440] Step 1-4: if the measurement reporting is triggered in step 3 above (since multiple measurement reporting events are evaluated, multiple measurement reporting can be triggered at the same time), the UE performs the measurement reporting operation once.

[0441] In some embodiments, after the UE performs the measurement reporting once, the UE updates its corresponding UE variables for each measurement reporting event that triggers the current measurement reporting, and the specific operations include at least one of the following:

[0442] For the case where the variable 1 contains a list, a new element is added to the list of variable 1, and the new element is the time of the current measurement reporting;

[0443] For the case where the variable 1 contains a numerical value, the value of variable 1 is updated to the time of the current measurement reporting;

[0444] For the variable 2, it is incremented by 1;

[0445] For the variable 3, it is updated to the time difference between the current measurement reporting and the measurement reporting caused by the last measurement reporting event (when the first reporting is triggered, the time difference is 0).

[0446] In some embodiments, the measurement result carried in the UE-initiated measurement reporting is determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, and specifically, the measurement result carried in the measurement reporting is at least one of the following:

[0447] The latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event that reports the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0448] Only the measurement result of the current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤Y;

[0449] Only the measurement result of the neighboring cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤Y; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤X*Y; in some embodiments, the number of included neighboring cells is ≤X;

[0454] The index of the beam that does not satisfy the event;

[0455] The index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality.

[0456] The measurement result includes one or more of the following:

[0457] A cell-level measurement result;

[0458] A beam-level measurement result;

[0459] A beam identifier;

[0460] A cell identifier.

[0461] Example 2: The UE reports a single time for each measurement reporting event triggered (only when the event is triggered for the first time, the UE can report).

[0462] Step 2-1: The network side issues an RRC reconfiguration message, which carries the configuration for configuring event-triggered L1 measurement related configuration (measurement object (which can be cell or beam level), measurement reporting event associated with the measurement object, measurement evaluation criteria, etc.).

[0463] In some embodiments, in step 2-1, the network also configures the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information to the UE.

[0464] The first measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0465] Indication information of single reporting (i.e. the UE triggers a measurement report only when the event is triggered for the first time).

[0466] The second measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0467] Indication of the UE reporting the latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event to the network due to the event triggering;

[0478] Indicating that the UE reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality in the case where the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0479] Step 2-2: The UE performs L1 measurement and evaluation based on the event-triggered L1 measurement configuration information provided by the network side.

[0480] Step 2-3: The UE performs the following operations for each measurement reporting event:

[0481] Step 2-3: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event satisfies and the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time, the UE determines to trigger a measurement reporting.

[0482] The determination that the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time can depend on the UE implementation.

[0483] Step 2-4: If the measurement reporting is triggered in the above step 2-3 (since multiple measurement reporting events are evaluated, there can be multiple simultaneous measurement reporting triggered), the UE performs a measurement reporting operation.

[0484] In some embodiments, the measurement result carried in the UE-initiated measurement reporting is determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement result carried in the measurement reporting is at least one of:

[0485] In some embodiments, the measurement result carried in the UE-initiated measurement reporting is determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement result carried in the measurement reporting is at least one of:

[0496] cell-level measurement results;

[0497] beam-level measurement results;

[0498] beam identification;

[0499] cell identification.

[0500] Example 3: The UE triggers reporting based on the corresponding reporting condition (the measurement reporting event triggers a measurement reporting once when the reporting condition is satisfied).

[0501] Step 3-1: The network side issues an RRC reconfiguration message, which carries configuration related to event-triggered L1 measurement (measurement object (which can be cell or beam level), measurement reporting event associated with the measurement object, measurement evaluation criteria, etc.).

[0502] In some embodiments, in step 3-1, the network also configures the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information to the UE.

[0503] The first measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0504] Indicating that the UE triggers a measurement report when the change of measurement result at this event trigger time compared with the measurement result at the last event trigger time (which can be per cell, or per beam) exceeds the network preconfigured threshold;

[0505] Indicating (for the case of per cell measurement report event configuration) that the UE triggers a measurement report when the change of the number of beams satisfying the event at this event trigger time compared with the number of beams satisfying the event at the last event trigger time is greater than the network preconfigured threshold.

[0506] The second measurement report configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0507] Indicating the latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement report event for which the UE has reported the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0508] Indicating that the UE carries the measurement result of the current serving cell;

[0512] Indicating the maximum number Z of beams reported by the UE when performing measurement report; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of beams for this report, or the maximum number of beams for each reported cell;

[0513] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement report event that is satisfied at this time when performing measurement report;

[0514] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement report event that triggers the measurement report at this time when performing measurement report;

[0515] Indicating that the UE only reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality among the beams satisfying the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0516] Indicating that the UE only reports the index of the beam satisfying the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0517] Indicating that the UE reports the index of the beam not satisfying the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0518] indicate the UE to report the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality in the case that the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0519] Step 3-2: The UE performs L1 measurement and evaluation based on the event-triggered L1 measurement configuration information provided by the network side.

[0520] In some embodiments, the UE maintains one UE variable or one element in one UE variable for each measurement reporting event. The UE variable is at least one of the following:

[0521] the change amount of the measurement result at the current event trigger compared to the measurement result at the last event trigger (which can be per cell, or per beam) (variable 4);

[0522] the change amount of the number of beams satisfying the event at the current event trigger compared to the number of beams satisfying the event at the last event trigger (variable 5);

[0523] the measurement result at the current event trigger (variable 6);

[0524] the number of beams satisfying the event at the current event trigger (variable 7).

[0525] The UE initializes the above UE variables respectively, such as initializing the above variables 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 to 0.

[0526] Afterwards, the UE performs step 3-3 operation for each measurement reporting event respectively:

[0527] Step 3-3-1: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, and the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time (i.e. the measurement reporting has not been performed because the measurement reporting event is satisfied and has not been triggered), the UE determines to trigger a measurement reporting.

[0528] Step 3-3-2: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, but the measurement reporting event is not triggered for the first time, and the measurement reporting has been performed because the measurement reporting event is satisfied and has been triggered before, the UE performs one of the following operations:

[0529] Operation 1:

[0530] The UE judges whether the change amount of the measurement result corresponding to the current measurement reporting event satisfying compared to the measurement result at the last event trigger (which can be per cell, or per beam) exceeds the network preconfigured threshold. The measurement result can be the top N optimal measurement result.

[0531] If the change amount exceeds the network preconfigured threshold, the UE triggers a measurement reporting.

[0532] If the change is not beyond the network pre-configured threshold, the UE does not trigger a measurement reporting.

[0533] Operation 2: (for the case of per-cell measurement reporting event configuration)

[0534] The UE judges whether the change of the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the current event triggering compared to the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the last event triggering is greater than the network pre-configured threshold.

[0535] If the change is beyond the network pre-configured threshold, the UE triggers a measurement reporting.

[0536] If the change is not beyond the network pre-configured threshold, the UE does not trigger a measurement reporting.

[0537] The "UE judges whether the change of the measurement result corresponding to the current measurement reporting event satisfying compared to the measurement result at the time of the last event triggering (which can be per cell or per beam) is beyond the network pre-configured threshold" can be dependent on UE implementation, and / or judge the size between the variable 4 and the network pre-configured threshold, and / or subtract the corresponding measurement result recorded in the variable 6 from the measurement result corresponding to the current measurement reporting event satisfying, and judge the size between the difference value and the network pre-configured threshold.

[0538] The "UE judges whether the change of the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the current event triggering compared to the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the last event triggering is greater than the network pre-configured threshold" can be dependent on UE implementation, and / or judge the size between the variable 5 and the network pre-configured threshold, and / or subtract the corresponding measurement result recorded in the variable 6 from the measurement result corresponding to the current measurement reporting event satisfying, and judge the size between the difference value and the network pre-configured threshold.

[0539] Step 3-3-3: In some embodiments, each time the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event satisfies, for each measurement reporting event triggering the current measurement reporting, the UE updates its corresponding UE variable, and the specific operation includes at least one of the following:

[0540] For variable 4, update it to the difference between the measurement result at the time of the current measurement reporting event satisfying and the measurement result at the time of the last measurement reporting event satisfying;

[0541] For variable 5, update it to the difference between the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the current measurement reporting event satisfying and the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the last measurement reporting event satisfying;

[0542] For variable 6, add the measurement result at the time of the current measurement reporting event satisfying to the variable 6;

[0543] For variable 7, add the number of beams of the satisfied event when the current measurement reporting event is satisfied into variable 7.

[0544] Step 3-4: If the measurement reporting is triggered in step 3-3 (since multiple measurement reporting events are evaluated, there may be multiple simultaneous triggered measurement reporting), the UE performs a measurement reporting operation.

[0545] In some embodiments, the measurement results carried in the UE-initiated measurement reporting are determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement results carried in the measurement reporting are at least one of the following:

[0546] The latest measurement results of the cell / beams corresponding to the measurement reporting event that reported the measurement results to the network due to event triggering;

[0547] Only measurement results of the current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤Y;

[0548] Only measurement results of the neighboring cells; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤Y; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤X*Y; in some embodiments, the number of included neighboring cells ≤X;

[0549] Only measurement results corresponding to the events that satisfy the measurement reporting event at the time of this reporting;

[0553] The index of the beam that does not satisfy the event;

[0554] The index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality.

[0555] The measurement results include one or more of the following:

[0556] Cell-level measurement results;

[0557] Beam-level measurement results;

[0558] Beam identification;

[0559] Cell identification.

[0560] Example 4: UE performs single reporting according to measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0561] Step 4-1: Network side issues RRC reconfiguration message, which carries configuration related to event triggered based L1 measurement (measurement object (can be cell or beam level), measurement reporting event associated with the measurement object, measurement evaluation criteria, etc.).

[0562] In some embodiments, in step 4-1, the network also configures the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information to the UE.

[0563] Among them, the first measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0564] The measurement reporting event associated measurement reporting prohibit timer;

[0565] Indicating that when the measurement reporting prohibit timer expires, the UE performs a measurement reporting.

[0566] The second measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0567] Indicating that the UE reports the latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event that reports the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0568] Indicating that the UE carries the measurement result of the current serving cell;

[0569] Indicating whether the measurement result reported by the UE contains the measurement result of the neighboring cell;

[0570] Indicating the maximum number X of cells reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting;

[0571] Indicating the maximum number Y of measurement results reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of measurement results for this reporting, or the maximum number of measurement results for each reported cell;

[0572] Indicating the maximum number Z of beams reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of beams for this reporting, or the maximum number of beams for each reported cell;

[0573] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement reporting event that meets this time when performing measurement reporting;

[0574] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement reporting event that triggers this measurement reporting when performing measurement reporting;

[0575] The UE only reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality that satisfies the event, without reporting the measurement result.

[0576] The UE only reports the index of the beam that satisfies the event, without reporting the measurement result.

[0577] The UE reports the index of the beam that does not satisfy the event, without reporting the measurement result.

[0578] The UE reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality when the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0579] Step 4-2: The UE performs L1 measurement and evaluation based on the event-triggered L1 measurement configuration information provided by the network side.

[0580] After that, the UE performs any of the following (I) and (II) operations:

[0581] (I): Trigger measurement reporting when the measurement reporting prohibition timer expires.

[0582] Specifically:

[0583] Step 4-3: Perform the following operation for each measurement reporting event:

[0584] Step 4-3-1: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied and the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time, the UE determines to trigger measurement reporting once.

[0585] Step 4-3-2: The UE triggers measurement reporting once every time the measurement reporting prohibition timer expires.

[0586] Step 4-4: If measurement reporting is triggered in the above step 4-3 (because multiple measurement reporting events are evaluated, multiple measurement reporting events may be triggered at the same time), the UE performs measurement reporting operation once.

[0587] In addition, for each measurement reporting event that triggers measurement reporting, the UE starts or restarts the measurement reporting prohibition timer corresponding to the measurement reporting event.

[0588] In some embodiments, the measurement result carried in the UE-initiated measurement reporting is determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement result carried in the measurement reporting is at least one of the following:

[0589] The latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event that reports the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0590] Only measurement results of current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤ Y;

[0591] Only measurement results of neighbor cells; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤ Y; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤ X*Y; in some embodiments, the number of included neighbor cells ≤ X;

[0596] The index of the beam that does not satisfy the event;

[0600] Beam-level measurement results;

[0601] Beam identification;

[0602] Cell identification.

[0603] (ii): When the measurement reporting timer expires and the measurement reporting event is satisfied, trigger measurement reporting.

[0604] Step 4-3: Perform the operation of step 4-3 for each measurement reporting event respectively:

[0605] Step 4-3-1: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied and the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time (i.e., the measurement reporting has not been triggered and executed due to the satisfaction of the measurement reporting event), the UE determines to trigger measurement reporting once.

[0606] Step 4-3-2: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, but the measurement reporting event is not triggered for the first time, and the measurement reporting has been triggered and executed due to the satisfaction of the measurement reporting event before, the UE performs the following operation:

[0607] The UE determines whether the measurement reporting prohibition timer associated with it has expired. If it has expired, the UE triggers measurement reporting once; if it has not expired, the UE does not trigger measurement reporting once.

[0608] Step 4-4: If the measurement reporting is triggered in step 4-3 above (there can be multiple measurement reporting triggered at the same time due to the evaluation of multiple measurement reporting events), the UE performs one measurement reporting operation.

[0609] And for each measurement reporting event that triggers the measurement reporting, the UE starts or restarts its corresponding measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0610] In some embodiments, the measurement results carried in the UE-initiated measurement reporting are determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement results carried in the measurement reporting are at least one of the following:

[0611] The latest measurement results of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event that reports the measurement results to the network due to event triggering;

[0612] Only the measurement results of the current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤Y;

[0618] The index of the beam that does not satisfy the event;

[0619] The index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality.

[0620] The measurement results include one or more of the following:

[0621] Cell-level measurement results;

[0622] Beam-level measurement results;

[0623] Beam identification;

[0624] Cell identification.

[0625] Example 5: UE triggers subsequent periodic reporting according to measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0626] Step 5-1: The network side issues an RRC reconfiguration message, which carries the configuration related to event-triggered L1 measurement (measurement object (which can be cell or beam level), measurement reporting event associated with the measurement object, measurement evaluation criteria, etc.).

[0627] In some embodiments, in step 5-1, the network also configures the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information to the UE.

[0628] Among them, the first measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0629] Indicating the UE to perform continuous periodic reporting after the measurement reporting prohibit timer expires;

[0630] Reporting period (reporting interval);

[0631] Maximum number of reports;

[0632] Indication of whether the periodic reporting after the initial measurement reporting needs to meet the measurement reporting event;

[0633] The measurement reporting event is associated with a corresponding measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0634] The second measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0635] Indicating the UE to report the latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event for which the UE has reported the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0636] Indicating the UE to carry the measurement result of the current serving cell;

[0637] Indicating whether the measurement result reported by the UE includes the measurement result of the neighboring cell;

[0638] Indicating the maximum number of cells X reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting;

[0639] Indicating the maximum number of measurement results Y reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of measurement results for this report or the maximum number of measurement results for each reported cell;

[0640] Indicating the maximum number of beams Z reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of beams for this report or the maximum number of beams for each reported cell;

[0641] whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement reporting event that satisfies the event this time when the UE is instructed to perform measurement reporting;

[0642] whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement reporting event that causes the measurement reporting this time to be triggered when the UE is instructed to perform measurement reporting;

[0643] whether the UE only reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality among the beams that satisfy the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0644] whether the UE only reports the index of the beam that satisfies the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0645] whether the UE reports the index of the beam that does not satisfy the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0646] whether the UE reports the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality in the case where the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0647] Step 5-2: The UE performs L1 measurement and evaluation based on the event-triggered L1 measurement configuration information provided by the network side.

[0648] In some embodiments, the UE maintains a UE variable or an element in a UE variable for each measurement reporting event. The UE variable is at least one of the following:

[0649] an absolute time variable (hereinafter referred to as variable 1) at which the measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting (in some embodiments, a list is maintained for each measurement reporting event);

[0650] a number of times variable (hereinafter referred to as variable 2) for recording the number of times the measurement reporting event triggers measurement reporting;

[0651] a time difference variable (hereinafter referred to as variable 3) for recording the time difference between the measurement reporting event and the most recent measurement reporting event that satisfies the measurement reporting event and triggers measurement reporting.

[0652] The UE initializes the above-mentioned UE variables respectively, such as initializing the above-mentioned variables 1 / 2 / 3 to 0. And the initialization operation is performed once after each measurement reporting prohibit timer expires.

[0653] Then, the UE performs any of the following (i) and (ii):

[0654] (i): When the measurement reporting event is satisfied, multiple periodic reporting is triggered, and subsequent measurement reporting does not need to be performed under the condition that the measurement reporting event is satisfied.

[0655] Specifically:

[0656] Step 5-3 is performed for each measurement reporting event respectively:

[0657] Step 5-3-1: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, and the measurement reporting event is the first time triggered after the measurement reporting prohibit timer expires or the measurement reporting prohibit timer is not started, the UE determines to trigger a measurement report.

[0658] The determination that the measurement reporting event is the first time triggered can depend on UE implementation or be determined according to the variable in the corresponding UE variable being 0.

[0659] Step 5-3-2: Every interval of the reporting period time configured by the network (and without determining whether the measurement reporting event is satisfied), the UE performs the following operations:

[0660] The UE determines whether the number of reporting times exceeds the maximum number of reporting times configured by the network:

[0661] If the number of reporting times exceeds the maximum number of reporting times configured by the network, the UE:

[0662] does not trigger a measurement report, and in some embodiments, stops the measurement evaluation for the event, or even if the subsequent measurement evaluation for the event is found to be satisfied, does not initiate a measurement report for the measurement evaluation event;

[0663] starts or restarts the associated measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0664] If the number of reporting times does not exceed the maximum number of reporting times configured by the network, the UE triggers a measurement report (without the measurement reporting event being satisfied).

[0665] Step 5-4: If a measurement report is triggered in the above step 5-3 (there can be multiple measurement reports triggered at the same time due to the evaluation of multiple measurement reporting events), the UE performs a measurement report operation.

[0666] In some embodiments, for each measurement reporting event that triggers a measurement report, if it is the first time to trigger a measurement report (i.e., the first time since receiving the configuration), the UE starts the corresponding measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0667] In some embodiments, after the UE performs a measurement report each time, for each measurement reporting event that triggers the measurement report, the UE updates the corresponding UE variable, and the specific operations include at least one of the following:

[0668] For the case where the variable 1 contains a list, a new element is added to the list of the variable 1, and the new element is the time of the measurement report;

[0669] In the case that the variable 1 contains a numerical value, the value of the variable 1 is updated as the time of the current measurement report;

[0670] In the case of the variable 2, it is incremented by 1;

[0671] In the case of the variable 3, it is updated as the time difference between the current measurement report and the last measurement report caused by the measurement report event (when the first report is triggered, the time difference is 0).

[0672] In some embodiments, the measurement result carried in the UE-initiated measurement report is determined according to the second measurement report configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement result carried in the measurement report is at least one of the following:

[0673] The latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement report event that has reported the measurement result to the network due to the event trigger;

[0674] Only the measurement result of the current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤Y;

[0675] Only the measurement result of the neighboring cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤Y; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤X*Y; in some embodiments, the number of included neighboring cells is ≤X;

[0676] Only the measurement result corresponding to the event that the measurement report event satisfies at the time of the current report;

[0677] Only the measurement result corresponding to the measurement report event that causes the current measurement report to be triggered;

[0678] Only the index of the beam with the best signal quality that satisfies the event;

[0679] Only the index of the beam that satisfies the event;

[0680] The index of the beam that does not satisfy the event;

[0681] The index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality.

[0682] The measurement result includes one or more of the following:

[0683] Cell-level measurement result;

[0684] Beam-level measurement result;

[0685] Beam identifier;

[0686] Cell identifier.

[0687] (ii): for each measurement reporting event, if the measurement reporting event is satisfied, i.e. the periodic reporting is triggered.

[0688] In particular,

[0689] For each measurement reporting event, the step 5-3 operation is performed respectively:

[0690] Step 5-3-1: if the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, and the measurement reporting event is the first time triggered after the measurement reporting prohibit timer expires or the measurement reporting prohibit timer is not started, the UE determines to trigger the measurement reporting once.

[0691] Step 5-3-2: if the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, but the measurement reporting event is not the first time triggered, and the measurement reporting has been triggered and performed due to the measurement reporting event satisfied before, the UE performs the following operation:

[0692] The UE judges whether the time difference between the current triggering time and the time of the last measurement reporting due to the measurement reporting event satisfied is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side:

[0693] If greater than the reporting period configured by the network side, the UE further judges whether the number of reporting performed for the measurement reporting event triggered is greater than the maximum number of reporting configured by the network side. If yes, the measurement reporting is not triggered once, and in some embodiments, the corresponding measurement reporting prohibit timer is started or restarted; if not, the measurement reporting is triggered once.

[0694] If not greater than the reporting period configured by the network side, the UE does not trigger the measurement reporting once.

[0695] Wherein, the "UE judges whether the time difference between the current triggering time and the time of the last measurement reporting due to the measurement reporting event satisfied is greater than the reporting period configured by the network side" can be dependent on the UE implementation, and / or judge whether the corresponding UE variable 3 is greater than the reporting period, and / or subtract the time of the last measurement reporting triggered in the corresponding UE variable 1 from the time of the current measurement reporting event satisfied, and then judge whether the difference is greater than the reporting period.

[0696] Wherein, the "UE judges whether the number of reporting performed for the measurement reporting event triggered is greater than the maximum number of reporting configured by the network side" can be dependent on the UE implementation, and / or judge the size between the value of the corresponding UE variable 2 and the maximum number of reporting configured by the network side.

[0697] Step 5-4: If the measurement reporting is triggered in step 5-3 above (since multiple measurement reporting events are evaluated, there can be multiple measurement reporting triggered at the same time), the UE performs one measurement reporting operation.

[0698] In some embodiments, for each measurement reporting event that triggers the measurement reporting, if it is the first time that it triggers the measurement reporting (i.e. the first time since the configuration is received), the UE starts its corresponding measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0699] In some embodiments, after the UE performs one measurement reporting, for each measurement reporting event that triggers the measurement reporting, the UE updates its corresponding UE variable, which includes at least one of the following:

[0700] For the case that variable 1 contains a list, a new element is added to the list of variable 1, which is the time of the current measurement reporting;

[0701] For the case that variable 1 contains a value, the value of variable 1 is updated to the time of the current measurement reporting;

[0702] For variable 2, it is incremented by 1;

[0703] For variable 3, it is updated to the time difference between the current measurement reporting and the last measurement reporting caused by the measurement reporting event (when the reporting is triggered for the first time, the time difference is 0).

[0704] In some embodiments, the measurement results carried in the measurement reporting initiated by the UE are determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, and specifically, the measurement results carried in the measurement reporting are at least one of the following:

[0705] The latest measurement results of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event that reports the measurement results to the network due to event triggering;

[0706] Only the measurement results of the current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤Y;

[0707] Only the measurement results of the neighboring cells; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤Y; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results is ≤X*Y; in some embodiments, the number of included neighboring cells is ≤X;

[0708] Only the measurement results corresponding to the event that the measurement reporting event satisfies at the time of the current reporting;

[0709] Only the measurement results corresponding to the measurement reporting event that causes the current measurement reporting to be triggered;

[0710] only the index of the beam with the best signal quality among the beams satisfying the event;

[0711] only the index of the beam satisfying the event;

[0712] the index of the beam not satisfying the event;

[0713] the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality.

[0714] The measurement result comprises one or more of:

[0715] a cell-level measurement result;

[0716] a beam-level measurement result;

[0717] a beam identifier;

[0718] a cell identifier.

[0719] Example 6: The UE performs reporting based on the corresponding reporting condition according to the measurement reporting prohibit timer.

[0720] Step 6-1: The network side issues an RRC reconfiguration message, which carries configuration related to L1 measurement based on event triggering (measurement object (which can be cell or beam level), measurement reporting event associated with the measurement object, measurement evaluation criteria, etc.).

[0721] In some embodiments, in step 6-1, the network also configures the first measurement reporting configuration information and / or the second measurement reporting configuration information to the UE.

[0722] The first measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of:

[0723] indicates that when the change in measurement result (which can be per cell, which can be per beam) at this event triggering time exceeds the network preconfigured threshold compared with the measurement result at the last event triggering time, the UE triggers a measurement report; the measurement result can be the top N measurement results (N≥1);

[0724] indicates (for the case of per cell measurement reporting event configuration) that when the change in the number of beams satisfying the event at this event triggering time is greater than the network preconfigured threshold compared with the number of beams satisfying the event at the last event triggering time, the UE triggers a measurement report;

[0725] the measurement reporting event associated measurement reporting prohibit timer;

[0726] indicates that when the measurement reporting prohibit timer expires, the UE performs the measurement reporting specified by the above conditions.

[0727] The second measurement reporting configuration information carries at least one of the following:

[0728] Indicating the latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event that the UE reports the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0729] Indicating the UE to carry the measurement result of the current serving cell;

[0730] Indicating whether the measurement result of the neighboring cell is included in the measurement result reported by the UE;

[0731] Indicating the maximum number X of cells reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting;

[0732] Indicating the maximum number Y of measurement results reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of measurement results for this time or the maximum number of measurement results for each reported cell;

[0733] Indicating the maximum number Z of beams reported by the UE when performing measurement reporting; further, the network indicates whether it is the maximum number of beams for this time or the maximum number of beams for each reported cell;

[0734] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement reporting event that meets the event when performing measurement reporting;

[0735] Indicating whether the UE only reports the measurement result corresponding to the measurement reporting event that triggers the measurement reporting this time when performing measurement reporting;

[0736] Indicating the UE to only report the index of the beam with the best signal quality that meets the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0737] Indicating the UE to only report the index of the beam that meets the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0738] Indicating the UE to report the index of the beam that does not meet the event, without reporting the measurement result;

[0739] Indicating the UE to report the index of the beam with the best signal quality and / or the measurement result of the beam with the best signal quality when the beam with the best signal quality changes.

[0740] Step 6-2: The UE performs L1 measurement and evaluation based on the event-triggered L1 measurement configuration information provided by the network side.

[0741] In some embodiments, the UE maintains a UE variable or an element in a UE variable for each measurement reporting event. The UE variable is at least one of the following:

[0742] The change amount (variable 4) of the measurement result at the time of the current event triggering compared with the measurement result at the time of the last event triggering (may be per cell, may be per beam);

[0743] The change amount (variable 5) of the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the current event triggering compared with the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the last event triggering;

[0744] The measurement result at the time of the current event triggering (variable 6);

[0745] The number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the current event triggering (variable 7).

[0746] The UE initializes the above-mentioned UE variables respectively, such as initializing the above-mentioned variables 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 to 0. And the initialization operation is performed once after each measurement reporting prohibition timer expires.

[0747] Specifically:

[0748] Step 6-3 operation is performed for each measurement reporting event:

[0749] Step 6-3-1: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, and the measurement reporting event is triggered for the first time after the measurement reporting prohibition timer expires or the measurement reporting prohibition timer is not started, the UE determines to trigger a measurement report once.

[0750] Step 6-3-2: If the UE evaluates that the measurement reporting event is satisfied, but the measurement reporting event is not triggered for the first time, and the measurement reporting prohibition timer expires, the UE performs one of the following operations:

[0751] Operation one:

[0752] The UE judges whether the change amount of the measurement result corresponding to the current measurement reporting event satisfying time compared with the measurement result at the time of the last event triggering (may be per cell, may be per beam) exceeds the network pre-configured threshold. Among them, the measurement result can be the top N optimal measurement result.

[0753] If it exceeds the network pre-configured threshold, the UE triggers a measurement report once.

[0754] If it does not exceed the network pre-configured threshold, the UE does not trigger a measurement report.

[0755] Operation two: (for the case of per cell measurement reporting event configuration)

[0756] The UE judges whether the change amount of the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the current event triggering compared with the number of beams satisfying the event at the time of the last event triggering is greater than the network pre-configured threshold.

[0757] If the UE finds that the change of the measurement result of the measurement reporting event is larger than the pre-configured threshold, the UE triggers a measurement reporting.

[0758] If the UE finds that the change of the measurement result of the measurement reporting event is not larger than the pre-configured threshold, the UE does not trigger a measurement reporting.

[0759] Wherein, the "UE judges whether the change of the measurement result of the measurement reporting event when the event is met this time compared with the measurement result when the event is triggered last time (which can be per cell, which can be per beam) is larger than the pre-configured threshold" can be determined by UE implementation, and / or judge the size between the variable 4 and the pre-configured threshold, and / or subtract the corresponding measurement result recorded in the variable 6 from the corresponding measurement result when the event is met this time, and judge the size between the difference value and the pre-configured threshold.

[0760] Wherein, the "UE judges whether the change of the number of beams that meet the event when the event is triggered this time compared with the number of beams that meet the event when the event is triggered last time is larger than the pre-configured threshold" can be determined by UE implementation, and / or judge the size between the variable 5 and the pre-configured threshold, and / or subtract the corresponding number of beams that meet the threshold recorded in the variable 7 from the corresponding number of beams that meet the threshold when the event is met this time, and judge the size between the difference value and the pre-configured threshold.

[0761] Step 6-3-3: In some embodiments, every time the UE evaluates and finds that the measurement reporting event is met, the UE updates its corresponding UE variable for each measurement reporting event that triggers the measurement reporting this time, and the specific operation includes at least one of the following:

[0762] For variable 4, update it to the difference between the measurement result when the measurement reporting event is met this time and the measurement result when the measurement reporting event is met last time;

[0763] For variable 5, update it to the difference between the number of beams that meet the event when the measurement reporting event is met this time and the number of beams that meet the event when the measurement reporting event is met last time;

[0764] For variable 6, add the measurement result when the measurement reporting event is met this time to the variable 6;

[0765] For variable 7, add the number of beams that meet the event when the measurement reporting event is met this time to the variable 7.

[0766] Step 6-4: If the measurement reporting is triggered in the above step 6-3 (because multiple measurement reporting events are evaluated, there may be multiple measurement reporting triggered at the same time), the UE performs a measurement reporting operation.

[0767] In some embodiments, the UE starts its corresponding measurement reporting prohibit timer for each measurement reporting event whose measurement is reported.

[0768] In some embodiments, the measurement result carried in the measurement report initiated by the UE is determined according to the second measurement reporting configuration information configured by the network side, specifically, the measurement result carried in the measurement report is at least one of the following:

[0769] The latest measurement result of the cell / beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event which reports the measurement result to the network due to event triggering;

[0770] Only the measurement result of the current serving cell; in some embodiments, the number of measurement results ≤Y;
