[0083] In order to make the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure more clearly understood, first, some related knowledge is introduced as follows.

[0084] (I) L1 / L2 triggered mobility (L1 / L2 Triggered Mobility, LTM)

[0085] 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, 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 sends a cell change command to the UE through a medium 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 cell.

[0086] (II) L1 measurement reporting

[0087] The current LTM L1 measurement reference signal and reporting configuration are configured to the terminal through radio resource control (RRC), 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 (PUCCH) reporting, semi-persistent PUCCH reporting, semi-persistent physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) reporting and aperiodic PUSCH reporting.

[0088] The current L1 measurement and reporting are based on event triggering, that is, the measurement result reported depends on the evaluation of the UE on the related reporting event to determine which to report, so the number of measurement results reported is not fixed. However, the current L1 measurement result reported is based on fixed resource configuration for mapping reporting, that is, whether the number of measurement results reported changes or not, the measurement result is carried in the fixed reporting format, if a certain position in the reporting format contains the measurement result, it implicitly indicates that the measurement result is the measurement result corresponding to the same resource configuration of the L1 measurement resource identifier in the position, but the fixed reporting format in the above scheme will cause serious resource waste.

[0089] FIG. 1 is one of the flow diagrams of the measurement reporting method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the application embodiments provide a measurement reporting method, the execution subject of which can be a terminal, such as a mobile phone. The method comprises:

[0090] Step 101, when it is determined to perform measurement reporting, measurement reporting is performed by using measurement reporting signaling; the format of the measurement reporting signaling is determined based on the measurement result to be reported.

[0091] Specifically, when the terminal determines to perform measurement reporting, the terminal determines the content of the measurement result to be reported. According to the content of the measurement result to be reported, the terminal performs measurement reporting by using a measurement reporting signaling in a corresponding format. The format of the measurement reporting signaling may refer to, for example, a signaling size (or length), a pattern, and the like.

[0092] The measurement reporting method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is used to perform measurement reporting by using a measurement reporting signaling when it is determined to perform measurement reporting. The format of the measurement reporting signaling is determined based on the measurement result to be reported. In the above scheme, the format of the measurement reporting signaling can be determined according to the measurement result to be reported each time, which has greater flexibility and smaller signaling overhead when L1 measurement reporting is performed.

[0093] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting signaling is carried by at least one of the following:

[0094] Physical layer uplink control information (UCI);

[0095] A channel state information (CSI) reporting format in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

[0096] A medium access control layer control element (MAC CE).

[0097] In some embodiments, before the measurement reporting is performed by using the measurement reporting signaling, the method further includes:

[0098] Obtaining the measurement result to be reported;

[0099] The measurement result to be reported is obtained from a lower layer and / or a higher layer;

[0100] The lower layer includes a physical layer, and the higher layer includes at least one of the following: a radio resource control (RRC) layer and a medium access control (MAC) layer.

[0101] In some embodiments, the length of the measurement reporting signaling is related to the number of the measurement result to be reported.

[0102] Specifically, the length of the measurement reporting signaling depends on the number of the measurement result to be reported and is variable.

[0103] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting signaling contains at least one of the following information:

[0104] Reporting indication information;

[0105] The number of candidate cells contained;

[0106] a number of included measurement results;

[0107] a number of included beam identities;

[0108] a beam identity of the candidate beam;

[0109] a cell identity of a candidate cell where the candidate beam is located;

[0110] a measurement result;

[0111] a beam identity of a candidate beam corresponding to the measurement result;

[0112] a cell identity of a candidate cell corresponding to the measurement result;

[0113] an identity of a reporting configuration;

[0114] an identity of a resource configuration;

[0115] a resource set identity ID;

[0116] The reporting indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0117] first indication information, used to indicate whether information of a candidate secondary cell (SCell) is included in the measurement reporting signaling;

[0118] second indication information, used to indicate whether information of a candidate beam is included in the measurement reporting signaling;

[0119] third indication information, used to indicate whether a measurement result corresponding to a candidate beam is included in the measurement reporting signaling;

[0120] fourth indication information, used to indicate whether a measurement result corresponding to a candidate cell is included in the measurement reporting signaling.

[0121] In some embodiments, the number of included measurement results can be the number of measurement results included in the entire measurement reporting signaling, or the number of measurement results included in each candidate cell or candidate configuration.

[0122] In some embodiments, the measurement result can be a cell-level measurement result, or a beam-level measurement result, such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), etc.

[0123] In some embodiments, the number of included beam identifiers can be the number of included beam identifiers in the entire measurement reporting signaling, or the number of included beam identifiers in each candidate cell or candidate configuration.

[0124] In some embodiments, the candidate beam can be a synchronization signal block (SS / PBCH block, SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0125] In some embodiments, the candidate beam can be a specific beam indicated by, for example, an SSB index, or a beam of a certain cell mapped based on a certain mapping relationship, or a beam indicated by a bit map.

[0126] In some embodiments, the resource set can include a group of measurement signals, each measurement signal being associated with the same or different candidate cell.

[0127] In the above embodiments, the measurement reporting signaling includes at least one of the following information: reporting indication information, the number of included candidate cells, the number of included measurement results, the number of included beam identifiers, the beam identifier of the candidate beam, the cell identifier of the candidate cell where the candidate beam is located, the measurement result, the beam identifier of the candidate beam corresponding to the measurement result, the cell identifier of the candidate cell corresponding to the measurement result, the identifier of the reporting configuration, the identifier of the resource configuration, and the resource set identifier ID. The flexibility is greater, the format adopted can be determined according to the at least one included information, and the signaling overhead is smaller.

[0128] In some embodiments, the measurement result includes at least one of the following information:

[0129] Beam measurement result;

[0130] Cell measurement result;

[0131] M best beam identifiers of the measurement result, M being an integer greater than 0;

[0132] Duration that meets the measurement reporting event;

[0133] Number of beams in each cell that meet the measurement reporting event;

[0134] Beam identifier associated with the measurement reporting event that triggers the measurement reporting.

[0135] Specifically, the M best beam identifiers of the measurement results can be the beam identifiers of the top M candidate beams in the measurement result values; or, the beam identifier of the candidate beam with the largest measurement result value, where the largest measurement result value can correspond to one candidate beam or multiple candidate beams, and all or part of the beam identifiers of the multiple candidate beams can be reported, for example, the beam identifier of any one candidate beam can also be selected for reporting.

[0136] In some embodiments, the cell identifier of the candidate cell comprises at least one of:

[0137] an identifier of a frequency point where the candidate cell is located;

[0138] a physical cell identifier (PCI) of the candidate cell;

[0139] a serving cell identifier of the candidate cell in a candidate cell group;

[0140] an identifier of a candidate configuration of the candidate cell as a candidate special cell (SpCell).

[0141] In some embodiments, the candidate configuration can be an L1 / L2 triggered mobility (LTM) candidate configuration.

[0142] In some embodiments, the cell identifier of the candidate cell is mapped in a first manner using a bitmap BitMap according to the identifier of the candidate configuration.

[0143] Specifically, the cell identifier of the candidate cell is mapped in the first manner using the BitMap according to the identifier of the candidate configuration, for example, sequentially increasing or sequentially decreasing order mapping according to the identifier of each LTM candidate configuration, for example, the identifiers 1-10 of the LTM candidate configurations correspond to the cell identifiers of the candidate cells respectively mapped as 1-10.

[0144] In some embodiments, the beam identifier of the candidate beam is mapped in a second manner using a bitmap BitMap;

[0145] The second manner comprises at least one of:

[0146] (1) all candidate beams for measurement in each candidate configuration are sequentially increasing or sequentially decreasing order mapping;

[0147] (2) all candidate beams for measurement in all candidate configurations are sequentially increasing or sequentially decreasing order mapping;

[0148] (3) The candidate beams corresponding to the candidate cells that need to be measured by the network device are mapped in ascending or descending order;

[0149] (4) Mapping according to the preset relationship configured by the network device.

[0150] Specifically, for (1), for each candidate configuration, all candidate beams for measurement in the candidate configuration are respectively mapped in ascending or descending order; for example, the network configures 2 candidate configurations, 5 candidate beams in candidate configuration 1, and 6 candidate beams in candidate configuration 2.

[0151] The candidate beams in each candidate configuration are respectively mapped, for example, the candidate beams in candidate configuration 1 are respectively mapped as candidate beams 1-5, and the candidate beams in candidate configuration 2 are respectively mapped as candidate beams 1-6.

[0152] For (2), for all candidate configurations, all candidate beams for measurement in all candidate configurations are mapped in ascending or descending order;

[0153] For example, the network configures 2 candidate configurations, 5 candidate beams in candidate configuration 1, and 6 candidate beams in candidate configuration 2, and the candidate beams in candidate configuration 1 and candidate configuration 2 are mapped as candidate beams 1-11.

[0154] For (3), for the candidate beams corresponding to the candidate cells that need to be measured by the network device, in some embodiments, for each candidate cell that needs to be measured, all candidate beams for measurement in the candidate cell can be mapped in ascending or descending order, or for all candidate beams for measurement in all candidate cells that need to be measured, they are mapped in ascending or descending order.

[0155] For (4), in some embodiments, mapping can be based on the correspondence between the resource set and the candidate beam. For example, a certain resource set (resource set) configured by the network is sorted in the order of resource ID within each resource set, and further sorted in the order of resource set ID, each resource ID corresponds to a candidate beam, for example, the third resource in resource set ID=2 corresponds to position N0+N1+3, where Ni is the number of resources in the i-th set.

[0156] In the above implementation, the beam identifier of the candidate beam can be mapped in one of a plurality of ways, which has greater flexibility.

[0157] For example, the UE reports the measurement report signaling in a specific format, where the mapping relationship between the corresponding beam information / cell information and the measurement result is flexibly indicated, and the length of the measurement report signaling is variable.

[0158] Example 1-1: (Both the cell identifier and the beam identifier are explicitly indicated, and each uniquely corresponds to one measurement result):

[0159] The measurement report signaling reported by the UE includes:

[0160] N measurement result blocks;

[0161] Each measurement result block includes:

[0162] The identifier of the candidate configuration (and / or the cell identifier of the candidate cell), the beam identifier of the candidate beam, and the corresponding beam measurement result (the beam measurement result is optional);

[0163] And in some embodiments, the cell-level measurement result is included;

[0164] And in some embodiments, the beam measurement result of the SCell, or the cell measurement result of the SCell, or the reporting indication information corresponding to the SCell and the associated beam measurement result is included.

[0165] Each measurement result block corresponds to the measurement result related information of one candidate beam.

[0166] For example, the measurement report signaling includes:

[0167] The identifier of the candidate configuration 1, the beam identifier of the candidate beam 1-1, and the corresponding beam measurement result of the candidate beam 1-1;

[0168] The identifier of the candidate configuration 1, the beam identifier of the candidate beam 1-2, and the corresponding beam measurement result of the candidate beam 1-2;

[0169] The identifier of the candidate configuration 1, the beam identifier of the candidate beam 1-3, and the corresponding beam measurement result of the candidate beam 1-3;

[0170] The identifier of the candidate configuration 2, the beam identifier of the candidate beam 2-1, and the corresponding beam measurement result of the candidate beam 2-1;

[0171] The identifier of the candidate configuration 2, the beam identifier of the candidate beam 2-2, and the corresponding beam measurement result of the candidate beam 2-2;

[0172] The identifier of the candidate configuration 2, the beam identifier of the candidate beam 2-3, and the corresponding beam measurement result of the candidate beam 2-3.

[0173] Example 1-2: (Cell identity is indicated explicitly, beam identity is indicated explicitly, and the number of beams reported on each cell is not fixed)

[0174] The measurement reporting signaling reported by the UE contains N groups of the following information content:

[0175] The identity of the candidate configuration (and / or the cell identity of the candidate cell),

[0176] The measurement result block corresponding to the identity of the candidate configuration (and / or the cell identity of the candidate cell);

[0177] Each measurement result block contains:

[0178] The beam identity of the candidate beam, and the corresponding beam measurement result (the beam measurement result is optional);

[0179] And in some embodiments, the cell-level measurement result is included;

[0180] And in some embodiments, the beam measurement result of the SCell, or the cell measurement result of the SCell, or the reporting indication information corresponding to the SCell and the associated beam measurement result is included.

[0181] The measurement result block corresponds to the relevant content of the measurement result of one candidate configuration (or candidate cell).

[0182] For example, the measurement reporting signaling contains:

[0183] The identity of the candidate configuration 1, the measurement result block 1 corresponding to the candidate configuration 1;

[0184] The identity of the candidate configuration 2, the measurement result block 2 corresponding to the candidate configuration 2;

[0185] In some embodiments, the size of the measurement result block needs to be indicated in the MAC CE, such as indicating that 3 beam measurement results are carried in the measurement result block.

[0186] Specifically for each measurement result block:

[0187] The measurement result block 1 contains:

[0188] The beam identity of the candidate beam 1-1, the beam measurement result corresponding to the candidate beam 1-1;

[0189] The beam identity of the candidate beam 1-2, the beam measurement result corresponding to the candidate beam 1-2;

[0190] The beam identity of the candidate beam 1-3, the beam measurement result corresponding to the candidate beam 1-3;

[0191] The measurement result block 2 contains:

[0192] a beam identifier of the candidate beam 2-1, a beam measurement result corresponding to the candidate beam 2-1;

[0193] a beam identifier of the candidate beam 2-2, a beam measurement result corresponding to the candidate beam 2-2;

[0383] For example, the measurement reporting signaling contains Z reporting result indication fields, where Z is the number of network-side configured L1 measurement candidate beams;

[0384] and the reporting result indication field is one-to-one corresponding to the candidate beam configured by the network side.

[0385] If the result of the candidate beam is not reported this time, the corresponding reporting result indication field is set to a specific preset value.
