A method for beam reporting and a wireless communication device Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication, and more particularly to a method for beam reporting and a wireless communication device. Background Technology

[0002] Millimeter wave is a key technology in 5G, with its main advantage being abundant spectrum resources, providing greater bandwidth and thus supporting higher data rates. However, millimeter wave also faces some challenges. First, its propagation distance is relatively short, typically only a few hundred meters. Second, millimeter wave signals are susceptible to atmospheric absorption and rain attenuation, which can affect its performance in outdoor environments. Furthermore, millimeter wave signals are easily blocked by buildings and other objects.

[0003] To overcome these challenges, beam management technology has been proposed. Beam management is a technique that focuses wireless signals in a specific direction by controlling the phase and amplitude of an antenna array. This can significantly improve signal quality, enhance signal coverage, and reduce interference. In millimeter-wave communication, due to the narrow beamwidth, precise beam alignment is required, necessitating complex beam management strategies. Beam management technology involves many processes, and the beam management process itself presents numerous unresolved problems. Therefore, there is a need to propose a beam reporting method and wireless communication equipment to improve upon existing technologies.

[0049] The information sending method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0050] Beam management technology involves many processes. Currently, 5G has standardized processes such as beam configuration, beam measurement, beam reporting, and beam indication in beam management technology. In the current standard, these processes are controlled by the base station. For example, beam reporting involves the terminal device sending beam measurement information to the base station according to the reporting time and resources configured by the base station. If the reporting resources are configured very densely in time, it will lead to uplink resource collisions and waste; if the reporting resources are configured very sparsely in time, it will prevent the base station from knowing the beam quality in a timely manner. Therefore, it is quite difficult for the base station to configure ideal reporting resources in the time domain.

[0051] For terminal devices, beam quality can be known more easily and promptly. Therefore, existing technologies propose terminal device-initiated / event-driven (hereinafter referred to as "event-driven") beam management to reduce beam reporting overhead or beam update latency.

[0052] Existing technologies clearly define that event-driven beam management mainly focuses on the following aspects: triggering events, measurement signals, reporting content, and reporting media.

[0053] For triggering events, the study examines quality metrics, event definitions, threshold values, etc. An event (triggering event) includes at least one of the following:

[0054] Event 1 (similar to L3-A2): The quality of the current beam is worse than a certain threshold.

[0055] Event 2 (similar to L3-A3): The quality of at least one beam, such as Layer 1 Reference Signal Receiving Power (L1-RSRP), becomes better than the threshold of the current beam.

[0056] Event 3 (similar to L3-A4): The beam quality is better than a certain threshold.

[0057] Event 4 (similar to L3-A5): The quality of the current beam is worse than threshold 1, and the quality of at least one beam is better than threshold 2.

[0058] Other possibilities cannot be ruled out.

[0059] For measurement signals, at least SSB and periodic CSI-RS are supported.

[0060] For the reported content, at least downlink reference signal index and L1-RSRP are supported.

[0061] For reporting media, MAC CE, UCI, and one or more other possible media are supported.

[0062] In existing technologies, four triggering events are defined, three of which are beam-related. If a beam-related event is triggered, the number of beams that meet the triggering conditions is uncertain, leading to an uncertain number of beams reported by the terminal device. If the terminal device decides to report all beams that meet the conditions, it will cause decoding difficulties for the base station.

[0063] Furthermore, existing event-driven beamforming technologies may use periodic resources, which are typically semi-statically configured. If a terminal device does not trigger an event to report, it will not report on the corresponding resource, but the base station will still detect it. Although resources are saved on the terminal device side, they are not saved on the base station side. In existing technologies, the terminal device may inform the base station whether the periodic resource for event-driven beamforming is occupied (whether an event has triggered). If the base station is informed that the resource is not occupied, it can choose not to detect the resource and allocate it to other terminal devices (if sufficient time allows). Therefore, how should the notification information regarding resource occupancy be designed? If the indication of resource occupancy uses UCI reporting, how can it be reused with existing UCI types?

[0064] To address the above problems, this application provides the following solution:

[0065] Figure 2A illustrates one of the flowcharts of a beam reporting method provided in this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2A, this method can be applied to terminal devices. The method includes:

[0066] Step S100: Receive configuration information and reference signal; wherein the configuration information includes at least one of the following: configuration of reference signal, configuration of event, configuration of notification information, and configuration of measurement result;

[0067] Step S200: Based on the configuration information and the reference signal, determine whether the reference signal meets the event triggering conditions;

[0068] Step S300: When the reference signal meets the event triggering condition, information related to the event is reported, wherein the number of reference signals in the information related to the event is indicated by the base station and / or terminal equipment.

[0069] Figure 2B illustrates a second flowchart of a beam reporting method provided in this disclosure. As shown in Figure 2B, this method can be applied to a base station. The method includes:

[0070] Step H100: Send configuration information and reference signal; wherein the configuration information includes at least one of the following: configuration of reference signal, configuration of event, configuration of notification information, and configuration of measurement result;

[0071] Step H200: Receive information related to the event, wherein the number of reference signals in the information related to the event is indicated by the base station and / or terminal device.

[0072] Specifically, the base station sends configuration information and reference signals to the terminal device; wherein, the configuration information includes at least one of the following: configuration of reference signals, configuration of events, configuration of notification information, and configuration of measurement results; the terminal device, based on the configuration information and the reference signals, determines whether the reference signals meet the event triggering conditions; when the reference signals meet the event triggering conditions, it reports information related to the event, since the number of reference signals in the event-related information is indicated by the base station and / or the terminal device. In this way, even if the terminal device reports all beams that meet the conditions to the base station, the base station can still decode them correctly.

[0073] In some embodiments, after the terminal device completes step S200, if it determines that no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, it reports the measurement result, wherein the measurement result is 0. In other embodiments, the event-related information in step S300 is the measurement result, wherein the measurement result includes at least one of the following: event information, cell information, and beam information. Using the above method, the base station can correctly decode the signal.

[0074] Specifically, the beam reporting process triggered by the event is shown in Figure 3, and includes the following steps:

[0075] Step 1: The base station sends configuration information, and the terminal device receives the configuration information.

[0076] Step 2: The base station sends a reference signal, and the terminal device receives the reference signal. The terminal device measures the reference signal and determines whether the reference signal meets the event triggering conditions.

[0077] Step 3: The terminal device sends the measurement results, and the base station receives the measurement results. That is, regardless of whether there is a reference signal that meets the event triggering conditions, the terminal device will send the measurement results, and the base station will also receive the measurement results.

[0078] In some embodiments, the event-related information in step S300 is a measurement result, wherein the measurement result includes at least one of the following: event information, cell information, and beam information. In other embodiments, after the terminal device completes step S200, the terminal device determines that if no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, it stops reporting the measurement results.

[0079] Specifically, to conserve resources, it is assumed that the terminal device will not report measurement results if no event is triggered. The beam reporting process triggered by an event is shown in Figure 4, and includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: The base station sends configuration information, and the terminal device receives the configuration information.

[0081] Step 2: The base station sends a reference signal, and the terminal device receives the reference signal. The terminal device measures the reference signal and determines whether the reference signal meets the event triggering conditions.

[0082] Step 3: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, the terminal device sends the measurement result, and the base station receives the measurement result. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, the terminal device does not send the measurement result, but the base station still needs to receive (or detect) the measurement result.

[0083] In this disclosure, the reference signal is at least one of the following: Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), Synchronization Broadcast Block (SSB), Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) DMRS, and Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS).

[0084] The event configuration includes at least one of the following: event index, threshold value, and measurement time window.

[0085] The configuration of the notification information includes at least one of the following: resource configuration, period, time offset value, and content configuration.

[0086] The configuration of the measurement results includes at least one of the following: resource configuration, period, time offset value, and content configuration.

[0087] The content configuration includes at least one of the following: whether reference signal information is reported, the maximum number of reference signal information to be reported, whether event information is reported, the maximum number of event information to be reported, whether cell information is reported, and the maximum number of cell information to be reported.

[0088] The notification information includes at least one of the following: information about the event, information about the reference signal, and information about the cell.

[0089] The measurement results include at least one of the following: information about the event, information about the reference signal, and information about the cell.

[0090] The event information includes at least one of the following: whether the event was triggered, the index of the triggered event, and the number of triggered events.

[0091] The information of the reference signal includes at least one of the following: the number of reference signals, the index of the reference signal, and the quality value of the reference signal, wherein the reference signal refers to the reference signal that meets the event triggering condition.

[0092] The cell information includes at least one of the following: the number of cells and the cell index, where a cell refers to a cell with a reference signal that meets the event triggering conditions.

[0093] A reference signal satisfying the event triggering condition means an event has been triggered. No reference signal satisfying the event triggering condition means no event has been triggered.

[0094] Scheduling information can be downlink control information (DCI).

[0095] The channel that carries the notification information is the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

[0096] The channel carrying the measurement results is either PUCCH or the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

[0097] In this disclosure, the reference signal is transmitted using a directional beam. For simplicity, the "reference signal" will be referred to as the "beam." That is, the index of the reference signal corresponds to the index of the beam, and the quality value of the reference signal corresponds to the quality value of the beam.

[0098] In this disclosure, the measurement results are reported by the terminal device. For the sake of simplicity, the terms "measurement results" and "reporting" are used interchangeably, and the reported content is the content of the measurement results.

[0099] A beam may include at least one of the following: a current beam or a new beam.

[0100] The current beam is at least one of the following: the beam corresponding to the TCI state of the current PDSCH or PDCCH, the beam corresponding to the TCI state indicated by DCI, or the beam corresponding to the TCI state activated by MAC CE.

[0101] The new beam is at least one of the following: the beam corresponding to the configured reference signal, the beam corresponding to the TCI state indicated by the DCI, and the beam corresponding to the TCI state activated by the MAC CE.

[0102] In some embodiments, the beam information in step S300 includes at least one beam index and / or quality value. In some embodiments, zero padding is performed when the number of beams in the beam information is less than the maximum number of reported beams. In some embodiments, the number of indices is greater than the number of quality values.

[0103] Specifically, in one implementation of this disclosure, if an event-driven reporting configuration is associated with only one event, the terminal device reports the index and / or quality value of a beam. The reported beam is one of the beams that meet the event triggering conditions, such as the best one. The number of reported beam indices and / or quality values ​​is predefined or configured by a higher layer.

[0104] The terminal device reports the index and quality value of one beam that meets the event triggering conditions. The "1" represents either a predefined or higher-layer configuration. This can be a unified predefined or higher-layer configuration, meaning the reported beam index and quality value are both one, or separate predefined or higher-layer configurations, meaning the reported beam index and quality value are both one. The total number of bits reported is the sum of the index bits and the corresponding quality value bits for one beam.

[0105] The high-level parameters are configured as follows:

[0106] The high-level parameter eventBMi represents beam management event i; the high-level parameter newBeamQuantity and the configuration n1 indicate that the number of beam index and quality value reports is 1; if the high-level parameter newBeamQuantity is not configured, it defaults to 1.

[0107] Beam management event i is beam-related, such as at least one beam having a quality better than the current beam's quality plus a threshold value.

[0108] You can also configure the beam index and quality value separately:

[0109] The higher-level parameters newBeamIndexQuantity and newBeamQualityQuantity, along with the configuration n1, represent that the number of reported beam indexes and quality values ​​is 1, respectively. If the higher-level parameter newBeamIndexQuantity is not configured, the default value is 1. If the higher-level parameter newBeamQualityQuantity is not configured, the default value is 1.

[0110] The reported content and corresponding bit count are shown in Table 1 below:

[0111] Table 1: Reported Content and Corresponding Bit Count

[0112] A beam refers to a beam other than the current beam that corresponds to a reference signal that meets the event triggering conditions (e.g., the threshold value of the i-th beam management event).

[0113] N index and N quality The number of bits representing the beam index and quality value. Depending on the quantization method, N... quality It can be 4, 5, or 7.

[0114] The total number of bits reported is N index +N quality .

[0115] To save on reporting overhead, terminal devices can also report only the index of one beam without reporting the beam quality value. Here, '1' represents a predefined or higher-layer configuration. This can be done by predefining or configuring only one beam index for reporting, or by predefining or configuring one beam index for reporting and zero beam quality values. The total number of bits reported is equal to the number of bits for the beam index.

[0116] The reported content and corresponding bit count are shown in Table 2 below:

[0117] Table 2: Reported Content and Corresponding Bit Count

[0118] The total number of bits reported is N index .

[0119] In another implementation of this disclosure, if an event-driven reporting configuration is associated with only one event, the terminal device reports the indices and / or quality values ​​of multiple beams. The reported beams are a few of the beams that meet the event triggering conditions, such as the best ones. The number of reported beams is predefined or configured by a higher layer. If the number of beams that meet the event triggering conditions is less than the predefined or configured number, zero padding is performed.

[0120] Terminal device reports N quantity The index and quality value of a beam that meets the event triggering condition, where N quantity It is either predefined or configured by a higher layer. The method can be either uniformly predefined or configured by a higher layer; that is, the beam index and quality value reported by the predefined or higher-layer configuration are N. quantity The number of beams can be N, or they can be predefined or configured separately. That is, the index of the beam reported by the predefined or higher-level configuration is N. quantity The quality value of the beam is N. quantity If the number of reported quantities that meet the conditions is M. quantity , of which M quantity <N quantity If the value is zero, then zero padding is performed. The total number of bits reported is N. quantity The sum of the number of bits for the beam index and the number of bits for the corresponding quality value. N quantity =1 is equivalent to the mechanism of embodiment 1-1. In this embodiment, N... quantity ≥2.

[0121] The high-level parameters are configured as follows:

[0122] The higher-level parameter newBeamQuantity and the configurations n2, n3, n4, and n5 indicate that the number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported are 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively; if the higher-level parameter newBeamQuantity is not configured, the default value is 1 or 2.

[0123] You can also configure the beam index and quality value separately:

[0124] The higher-level parameters newBeamIndexQuantity and newBeamQualityQuantity, along with the configurations n2, n3, n4, and n5, represent the number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported, which are 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. If the higher-level parameter newBeamIndexQuantity is not configured, it defaults to 1 or 2. If the higher-level parameter newBeamQualityQuantity is not configured, it defaults to 1 or 2.

[0125] If M quantity =N quantity The reported content and corresponding bit count are shown in Table 3:

[0126] Table 3: Reported Content and Corresponding Bit Count

[0127] The beam index #j and the beam quality value #j represent the index of the j-th reported beam and the quality value of the j-th reported beam, respectively.

[0128] The beam corresponding to beam index #1 and beam quality value #1 can be the beam with the best quality among the beams that satisfy the event i condition.

[0129] N quality1 and N quality2 The number of bits representing the beam quality value can be the same or different. Depending on the quantization method, N... quality1 It can be 4, 5, or 7, N quality2 It can be 3 or 4.

[0130] The total number of bits reported is N quantity ·N index +N quality1 +(N quantity -1)·N quality2 .

[0131] If M quantity <N quantity The reported content and corresponding bit count are shown in Table 4:

[0132] Table 4: Reported Content and Corresponding Bit Count

[0133] N padding1 The number of zero-padding bits associated with the beam index can be (N) quantity -M quantity )·N index This is because there are not enough zeros to fill in the index of the beams that meet the conditions.

[0134] N padding2 The number of zero-padding bits related to the beam quality value can be (N) quantity -M quantity )·N quality2 This is because the quality value of the beam that meets the conditions is insufficient, so zero padding is performed.

[0135] The total number of bits reported is M quantity ·N index +N padding1 +N quality1 +(M quantity -1)·N quality2 +N padding2 =N quantity ·N index +N quality1 +(N quantity -1)·N quality2 .

[0136] To save on reporting overhead, only the beam index can be reported, without reporting the beam quality value. That is, the terminal device reports N. quantity The index of the beam, where N quantity It can be predefined or configured at higher levels, and the method can be to only predefined or configure the higher-level beam to report the index N. quantity The index of the beam can be N, which can be a predefined or higher-level configured beam. quantity The number of reported quantities that meet the conditions is M, and the quality value of the beam is 0. quantity , of which M quantity <N quantity If the number of bits is N, then zero padding is performed. quantity The sum of the number of bits in the index of each beam.

[0145] To save on reporting overhead, the number of beam indices reported can be greater than the number of beam quality values ​​reported. That is, the terminal device reports N... quantity1 The index of each beam and N quantity2 The quality values ​​of each beam, where N quantity1 >N quantity2 N quantity1 and N quantity2 It can be a predefined or higher-level parameter configuration, and the method can be either a predefined or higher-level configuration reporting beam index of N. quantity1 The quality value of the beam is N. quantity2 If the number of beams meeting the conditions is less than N. quantity1 and / or N quantity2 If the value is zero, then zero padding is performed. The total number of bits reported is N. quantity1 The number of bits in the index of each beam and N quantity2 The sum of the number of bits of the quality value of each beam.

[0146] The reported content and corresponding bit count are shown in Table 7:

[0147] Table 7: Reported Content and Corresponding Bit Count

[0148] In some embodiments, the measurement result includes a first part and a second part, the first part containing the total number of beam indices and / or the total number of quality values, and the second part containing beam indices and / or quality values.

[0149] Specifically, if an event-driven reporting configuration is associated with only one event, beam information reporting is divided into two parts. The first part contains the number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​to be reported, and the second part contains the number of beam indices and / or quality values, the number of which is determined by the first part. The reported beams are a few of the beams that meet the event triggering conditions, such as the best ones. The maximum number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​to be reported is predefined or configured by a higher layer. As can be seen, the number of bits in the first part is fixed, while the number of bits in the second part is determined based on the first part.

[0150] This method eliminates the need for zero-filling, saving reporting costs.

[0151] The maximum number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported by the terminal device is N. maxbeam N maxbeam It can be predefined or configured by a higher layer. The method can be either uniform predefined or configured by a higher layer, meaning the maximum number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported, whether predefined or from a higher layer configuration, is N. maxbeam The maximum number of beam indices, either predefined or configured by higher layers, is N. maxbeam The maximum number of quality values ​​for a beam is N. maxbeam The first part contains the beam index and an indication of the number of quality values ​​(for M). quantity M quantity ≤N maxbeam The second part contains M. quantity The index and quality value of each beam.

[0160] The total number of bits in the two reported parts is N indicator +M quantity ·N index +N quality1 +(M quantity -1)·N quality2 .

[0161] If the number of beam indices and quality values ​​indicated in the first part is 0, the content reported in the second part will not include beam indices and quality values.

[0162] To save on reporting overhead, terminal devices can also report only the beam index without reporting the beam quality value. That is, the maximum number of beam indices reported by the terminal device is N. maxbeam N maxbeam It can be predefined or configured at higher levels. The maximum number of beam indices reported can be N, and the method can be either predefined or configured at higher levels. maxbeam The maximum number of beam indices that can be reported, either predefined or configured by higher layers, is N. maxbeam The maximum number of beam quality values ​​is 0.

The total number of bits for both parts is the number of bits indicating the number of beam indices and M. quantity The sum of the number of bits in the index of each beam.

[0163] The first part of the reported content and the corresponding number of bits are shown in Table 10:

[0164] Table 10: The content and corresponding bit count of the first part of the report

[0165] The total number of bits in the first part is N. indicator .

[0166] The content and corresponding number of bits reported in the second part are shown in Table 11:

[0168] The total number of bits in the second part is N. quantity ·M index .

[0169] The total number of bits in the two reported parts is N indicator +N quantity ·M index .

[0170] If the number of beam indices indicated in the first part is 0, the content reported in the second part will not include beam indices.

[0171] To balance overhead and information volume, the number of reported beam indices can exceed the number of reported beam quality values. That is, the maximum number of beam indices reported by the terminal device is N. maxbeam1 The maximum number of reported beam quality values ​​is N. maxbeam2 , where N maxbeam1 ≥N maxbeam2 N maxbeam1 and N maxbeam2 It can be predefined or configured by higher layers, and the maximum number of beam indices reported by predefined or higher-layer configuration is N. maxbeam1 The maximum number of quality values ​​for a beam is N. maxbeam2 The first part contains the beam index and the number of quality values ​​(M respectively). quantity1 and M quantity2 M quantity1 <M quantity2 M quantity1 ≤N maxbeam1 M quantity2 ≤N maxbeam2 The second part contains M. quantity1 The index of each beam and M quantity2 The quality value of each beam. The total number of bits reported in the two parts is the number of bits indicating the number of beam indices and the number of bits indicating the number of beam quality values, combined with M. quantity1 The number of bits in the index of each beam and M quantity2 The sum of the number of bits of the quality value of each beam.

[0178] The total number of bits in the two reported parts is N indicator1 +N indicator2 +M quantity1 ·N index +N quality1 +(M quantity2 -1)·N quality2 .

[0179] If the number of beam indices indicated in the first part is 0, the content reported in the second part will not include beam indices.

[0180] If the number of beam quality values ​​indicated in the first part is 0, the content reported in the second part will not include beam quality values.

[0181] In some embodiments, the measurement result includes a first part and a second part, the first part including the total number of beam indices and / or the total number of quality values ​​and at least one beam index and / or quality value, and the second part including at least one of the following: other beam indices, other beam quality values, and quality values ​​corresponding to the indices of at least one beam in the first part.

[0182] If an event-driven reporting configuration is associated with only one event, beam information reporting is divided into two parts. The first part contains the total number of reported beam indices and / or quality values, plus the index and / or quality value of one beam. The second part contains the indices and / or quality values ​​of the other beams. The total number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​is the sum of the number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​in the first part and the number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​in the second part. The number of other beam indices and / or quality values ​​is determined by the first part. Other beam indices and / or quality values ​​indicate beam indices and / or quality values ​​not included in the first part. Alternatively, the first part contains the number of reported beam indices and / or quality values ​​and the index and / or quality value of one beam in the second part, while the second part contains the indices and / or quality values ​​of the other beams. The reported beams are several of the beams that meet the event triggering conditions, such as the best few. The maximum number of reported beam indices and / or quality values ​​is predefined or configured by higher layers, or the maximum number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​contained in the second part is predefined or configured by higher layers. The index and / or quality value of a beam contained in the first part is predefined or configured by higher layers, or whether the first part contains beam indices and / or quality values ​​is predefined or configured by higher layers. It can be seen that the number of bits in the first part is fixed, and the number of bits in the second part is determined based on the first part.

[0183] This method eliminates the need for zero-padding, saving reporting overhead. Furthermore, the first part contains some specific information, allowing the base station to acquire partial beam information more quickly.

[0184] The maximum number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported by the terminal device is N. maxbeam N maxbeam It can be predefined or configured by a higher layer. The method can be either uniform predefined or configured by a higher layer, meaning the maximum number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported, whether predefined or from a higher layer configuration, is N. maxbeam The maximum number of beam indices, either predefined or configured by higher layers, is N. maxbeam The maximum number of quality values ​​for a beam is N. maxbeam The first part contains the index and quality value of a beam, which may be predefined or configured by higher layers. Alternatively, the first part may contain either a uniformly predefined or higher-layer configured beam index and quality value. The total number of beam indices and quality values ​​contained in the first part (M) is indicated. quantity The second part contains the index and quality value of a beam, and other M values. quantity -1 beam index and quality value. Alternatively, the first part contains an indication of the number of beam indices and quality values ​​in the second part (for M).quantity -1) and a beam index and quality value, the second part contains other M quantity -1 beam index and quality value.

[0185] The high-level parameters are configured as follows:

[0186] The higher-level parameter `eventBMi` represents the i-th beam management event; the higher-level parameter `maxNewBeamQuantity` and the configuration `nN` represent the maximum total number of beam indexes and quality values ​​to be reported, which is N. maxbeam If the higher-level parameter maxNewBeamQuantity is not configured, it defaults to N. default It can be 3 or 4. The higher-level parameter NewBeamInFirstPart and its configuration of true indicate that the beam index and quality value are included in the first part; if the higher-level parameter NewBeamInFirstPart is not configured, it defaults to true.

That is, the first part contains the number of reported beams and a beam index, while the second part contains the quality values ​​corresponding to the beam indices in the first part, as well as the indices and quality values ​​of other beams. The beam index included in the first part is either predefined or configured by higher layers, or whether the first part includes a beam index is predefined or configured by higher layers, or whether the first part includes a beam quality value is predefined or configured by higher layers.

[0215] If the number of beam quality values ​​indicated in the first part is 1, the content reported in the second part does not include beam quality values.

[0216] In some embodiments, the first part includes the total number of beam indices and / or the total number of quality values, as well as the indices and / or quality values ​​of multiple beams, and the second part includes at least one of the following: indices of other beams, quality values ​​of other beams, and quality values ​​corresponding to the indices of multiple beams in the first part. When the number of beams in the first part is less than the maximum number of reported beams, zero padding is performed.

[0217] Specifically, if an event-driven reporting configuration is associated with only one event, the beam information reporting is divided into two parts. The first part contains the total number of reported beam indices and / or quality values, as well as the indices and / or quality values ​​of multiple beams. The second part contains the indices and / or quality values ​​of the remaining beams. The total number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​refers to the sum of the beam indices and / or quality values ​​in the first part and the beam indices and / or quality values ​​in the second part. The number of other beam indices and / or quality values ​​is determined by the first part. Other beam indices and / or quality values ​​indicate beam indices and / or quality values ​​not included in the first part. Alternatively, the first part contains the number of reported beam indices and / or quality values ​​in the second part, as well as the index and / or quality value of one beam, while the second part contains the indices and / or quality values ​​of the remaining beams. The reported beams are several of the beams that meet the event triggering conditions, such as the best few. The maximum number of reported beam indices and / or quality values ​​is predefined or configured by higher layers, or the maximum number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​contained in the second part is predefined or configured by higher layers. The number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​contained in the first part is predefined or configured by higher layers. It can be seen that the number of bits in the first part is fixed, and the number of bits in the second part is determined based on the first part. If the number of beams meeting the event triggering conditions is less than the predefined or higher-layer configured number of beams contained in the first part, zero-padding is performed.

[0218] This method includes more specific information in the first part, allowing the base station to acquire more beam information more quickly.

[0219] The maximum number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported by the terminal device is N. maxbeam N maxbeam It can be predefined or configured by a higher layer. The method can be either uniform predefined or configured by a higher layer, meaning the maximum number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported, whether predefined or from a higher layer configuration, is N. maxbeam The maximum number of beam indices, either predefined or configured by higher layers, is N. maxbeam The maximum number of quality values ​​for a beam is N. maxbeam The first part contains M. part1quantity The index and quality value of each beam are predefined or configured by higher layers, either uniformly predefined or configured by higher layers, or predefined or configured separately.

[0220] The high-level parameters are configured as follows:

The higher-level parameter NewBeamQuantityInFirstPart and the configurations n2 and n3 indicate that the maximum number of beam indices and quality values ​​reported in the first part is 2 and 3, respectively. If the higher-level parameter NewBeamQuantityInFirstPart is not configured, the default value is 1 or 2.

[0230] If the number of beams indicated in the first part is 1, the content reported in the second part does not include the beam index and quality value.

[0231] To save on reporting costs, only the beam index is reported, not the beam quality value.

[0232] To balance overhead and information volume, the number of reported beam indices can be greater than the number of reported beam quality values.

[0233] In some embodiments, if an event-driven reporting configuration is associated with multiple events, the reporting of beam information is divided into two parts: the first part indicates the number of reports of a variable number of reports, and its number of bits is fixed; the second part reports the corresponding number of reports according to the indication of the first part, and its number of bits is determined according to the indication of the first part.

[0234] The contents of Part One and Part Two are at least one of the following:

[0235] 1. The first part contains the total number of events and the total number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​for all events; the second part contains the index of the triggering event, the index of the beam of all triggering events, and / or the quality value.

[0236] 2. The first part contains the total number of events and the number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​for each event; the second part contains the index of the triggering event, the index of the beam for each triggering event, and / or the quality value.

[0237] 3. The first part contains the index of the event and the total number of beam indices and / or quality values ​​for all events; the second part contains the index of the beams that triggered the event and / or the quality values.

[0238] 4. The first part contains the index of the event and the index of the beam and / or the number of quality values ​​for each event; the second part contains the index of the beam and / or the quality value for each triggering event.

[0239] Here, "event" refers to a triggered event, which is a subset of predefined or high-level configured events. "Beams of all events" refers to the beams reported in the measurement results, which is a subset of beams that meet the triggering conditions of all events. "Beams of each event" refers to the beams reported in the measurement results that are related to a specific event, which is a subset of beams that meet the triggering conditions of that specific event.

[0240] The high-level parameters are configured as follows:

[0241] The first part of the reported content and the corresponding number of bits are shown in Table 22:

[0242] Table 22: The content and corresponding bit count of the first part of the report

[0243] The first part indicates the number of triggering events and the number of beams for each triggering event, respectively, N. event and N quantity The content and corresponding number of bits reported in the second part are shown in Table 23:

[0244] Table 23: The content and corresponding number of bits reported in Part Two

[0245] It is worth noting the flowchart 3 for beam reporting:

[0246] If the beam information reporting consists of only one part, and no beam meets the event triggering condition, each bit of the beam index and / or quality value in the reported content will be zero.

[0247] The beam information reporting has two parts. If no beam meets the event triggering condition, each bit of the beam index and / or the number of quality values ​​in the first part of the reporting content is zero.

[0248] Therefore, the beam index, beam quality value, number of beam indices, number of beam quality values ​​and / or the lowest code point (i.e. code point 0) of the beam index and number of quality values ​​need to be used for reporting when no beam meets the triggering condition, and cannot be used to represent specific beam information such as beam index, quality value and / or number.

[0249] If the number of beams being measured is K S Then N index for If K S =4, then N index =3, and the indexes of the beams corresponding to these bit code points are shown in Table 24.

[0251] If the quantization bit count of the beam quality value is N value The maximum number of code points that can be used to indicate the quality value of the beam is 100. If N value If the value is 4, then the number of code points that can be used to indicate the quality value of the beam is 15. The beam indices corresponding to these code points are shown in Table 25.

[0257] Regarding flowchart 4 for beam reporting:

[0258] The beam index, beam quality value, number of beam indices, number of beam quality values ​​and / or the lowest code point (i.e. code point 0) of the beam index and number of quality values ​​do not need to be used for reporting when no beam meets the triggering condition, and therefore can be used to represent specific beam information such as beam index, quality value and / or number.

[0259] If the number of beams being measured is K S Then N index for If K S =4, then N index =2, and the values ​​of the beam indices corresponding to these bits are shown in Table 28.

[0261] If the quantization bit count of the beam quality value is N value The maximum number of code points that can be used to indicate the quality value of the beam is 100. If N value If the value is 4, then the number of code points that can be used to indicate the quality value of the beam is 16. The beam indices corresponding to these code points are shown in Table 29.

[0264] Table 30: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0265] If the maximum number of indexes for reported events is N maxevent Then N indicator3 for If N maxevent =4, then N indicator3 =2, and the indexes of the beams corresponding to these bits are shown in Table 31.

[0266] Table 31: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0267] In some embodiments, after the terminal device completes step S200, if the terminal device determines that no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, it only reports notification information. The notification information includes at least one of the following: whether the event has been triggered, the index of the triggered event, the number of event triggers, the number of beam reports, and the number of cell reports. In some embodiments, the reported information related to the event includes: reporting notification information and measurement results. The notification information includes at least one of the following: whether the event has been triggered, the index of the triggered event, the number of event triggers, the number of beam reports, and the number of cell reports; the measurement results include at least one of the following: the index of the triggered event, the index of the cell, the index of the beam, and the quality value of the beam.

[0268] Specifically, the beam reporting process triggered by the event is shown in Figure 5, and includes the following steps:

[0269] Step 1: The base station sends configuration information, and the terminal device receives the configuration information.

[0270] Step 2: The base station sends a reference signal, and the terminal device receives the reference signal. The terminal device measures the reference signal and determines whether the reference signal meets the event triggering conditions.

[0271] Step 3: The terminal device sends a notification message, and the base station receives the notification message. That is, regardless of whether there is a reference signal that meets the event triggering conditions, the terminal device will send a notification message, and the base station will also receive the notification message.

[0272] Step 4: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the notification information contains event triggering information, the terminal device sends the measurement result, and the base station receives the measurement result. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the notification information does not contain event triggering information, the terminal device does not send the measurement result, and the base station does not receive the measurement result.

[0273] In some embodiments, the information reported in step S300 related to the event includes: reporting notification information and measurement results, wherein the notification information includes at least one of the following: whether the event was triggered, the index of the triggered event, the number of triggered events, the number of beams reported, and the number of cells reported; the measurement results include at least one of the following: the index of the triggered event, the index of the cell, the index of the beam, and the quality value of the beam. In some embodiments, after the terminal device completes step S200, if the terminal device determines that no event has been triggered, it stops reporting notification information and measurement results.

[0274] Specifically, the beam reporting process triggered by the event is shown in Figure 6, and includes the following steps:

[0275] Step 1: The base station sends configuration information, and the terminal device receives the configuration information.

[0276] Step 2: The base station sends a reference signal, and the terminal device receives the reference signal. The terminal device measures the reference signal and determines whether the reference signal meets the event triggering conditions.

[0277] Step 3: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, the terminal device sends a notification message, and the base station receives the notification message. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, the terminal device does not send a notification message, but the base station still needs to receive (or detect) the notification message.

[0278] Step 4: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device sends a notification message, or if the base station receives a notification message, the terminal device sends the measurement result, and the base station receives the measurement result. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device does not send a notification message, or if the base station does not receive a notification message, the terminal device does not send the measurement result, and the base station does not receive the measurement result.

[0279] In some embodiments, after the terminal device completes step S200, if the terminal device determines that no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, it only reports notification information, wherein the notification information includes at least one of the following: whether the event has been triggered, the index of the triggered event, the number of events triggered, the number of beams reported, and the number of cells reported. In some embodiments, the reporting of event-related information in step S300 includes: reporting notification information, wherein the notification information includes at least one of the following: whether the event has been triggered, the index of the triggered event, the number of events triggered, the number of beams reported, and the number of cells reported; receiving scheduling information; and reporting measurement results, wherein the measurement results include at least one of the following: the index of the triggered event, the index of the cell, the index of the beam, and the quality value of the beam.

[0280] Specifically, the beam reporting process triggered by the event is shown in Figure 7, and includes the following steps:

[0281] Step 1: The base station sends configuration information, and the terminal device receives the configuration information.

[0282] Step 2: The base station sends a reference signal, and the terminal device receives the reference signal. The terminal device measures the reference signal and determines whether the reference signal meets the event triggering conditions.

[0283] Step 3: The terminal device sends a notification message, and the base station receives the notification message. That is, regardless of whether there is a reference signal that meets the event triggering conditions, the terminal device will send a notification message, and the base station will also receive the notification message.

[0284] Step 4: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the notification information contains event triggering information, the base station sends scheduling information, and the terminal device receives the scheduling information. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the notification information does not contain event triggering information, the base station does not send scheduling information, and the terminal device does not receive scheduling information.

[0285] Step 5: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device receives scheduling information, or if the base station sends scheduling information, the terminal device sends the measurement result, and the base station receives the measurement result. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device does not receive scheduling information, or if the base station does not send scheduling information, the terminal device does not send the measurement result, and the base station does not receive the measurement result.

[0286] In some embodiments, after the terminal device completes step S200, if the terminal device determines that no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, it stops reporting notification information and measurement results. In some embodiments, the reporting of event-related information in step S300 includes: reporting notification information, wherein the notification information includes at least one of the following: whether the event has been triggered, the index of the triggered event, the number of event triggers, the number of beams reported, and the number of cells reported; receiving scheduling information; and reporting measurement results, wherein the measurement results include at least one of the following: the index of the triggered event, the index of the cell, the index of the beam, and the quality value of the beam.

[0287] Specifically, the beam reporting process triggered by the event is shown in Figure 8, and includes the following steps:

[0288] Step 1: The base station sends configuration information, and the terminal device receives the configuration information.

[0289] Step 2: The base station sends a reference signal, and the terminal device receives the reference signal. The terminal device measures the reference signal and determines whether the reference signal meets the event triggering conditions.

[0290] Step 3: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, the terminal device sends a notification message, and the base station receives the notification message. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, the terminal device does not send a notification message, and the base station still needs to receive (or detect) the measurement result.

[0291] Step 4: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device sends a notification message, or if the base station receives the notification message, the base station sends scheduling information, and the terminal device receives the scheduling information. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device does not send a notification message, or if the base station does not receive the notification message, the base station does not send scheduling information, and the terminal device does not receive scheduling information.

[0292] Step 5: If a reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device receives scheduling information, or if the base station sends scheduling information, the terminal device sends the measurement result, and the base station receives the measurement result. If no reference signal meets the event triggering condition, or if the terminal device does not receive scheduling information, or if the base station does not send scheduling information, the terminal device does not send the measurement result, and the base station does not receive the measurement result.

[0293] It is worth noting the flowchart 5-8 for beam reporting:

[0294] The beam index, beam quality value, number of beam indices, number of beam quality values ​​and / or the lowest code point (i.e. code point 0) of the beam index and number of quality values ​​do not need to be used for reporting when no beam meets the triggering condition, and therefore can be used to represent specific beam information such as beam index, quality value and / or number.

[0295] If the number of beams being measured is K S Then N index for If K S =4, then N index =2, and the values ​​of the beam indices corresponding to these bits are shown in Table 32.

[0296] Table 32: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0297] If the quantization bit count of the beam quality value is N value The maximum number of code points that can be used to indicate the quality value of the beam is 100. If N value If the value is 4, then the number of code points that can be used to indicate the quality value of the beam is 16. The beam indices corresponding to these code points are shown in Table 33.

[0298] Table 33: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0299] If the number of indexes and / or quality values ​​of the maximum reported beam is N maxbeam Then N indicator for If N maxbeam =4, then N indicator =2, and the indexes of the beams corresponding to these bits are shown in Table 34.

[0300] Table 34: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0301] If the maximum number of indexes for reported events is N maxevent Then N indicator3 for If N maxevent =4, then N indicator3 =2, and the indexes of the beams corresponding to these bits are shown in Table 35.

[0302] Table 35: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0303] In some embodiments, the notification information only includes whether an event has been triggered, and the notification information indicates whether the event has been triggered using affirmative and negative indicators or using 1 bit. In some embodiments, the notification information includes at least one of the following: the index of the triggered event, the number of triggered events, the number of beams reported, and the number of cells reported, and the notification information occupies at least 2 bits. In some embodiments, the notification information is carried in a first uplink resource, and the measurement result is carried in a second uplink resource.

[0304] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes an event, a first uplink resource, and / or a second uplink resource. In some embodiments, the configuration information includes multiple events, a first uplink resource, and / or a second uplink resource. In some embodiments, the configuration information includes multiple events, a first uplink resource, and / or multiple second uplink resources.

[0305] Specifically, regarding the event-triggered beam reporting flowchart 5-8, in an event-driven beam reporting configuration, the base station needs to configure two uplink resources for the terminal device. One uplink resource carries the notification information related to event-driven beam reporting (first uplink resource), and the other uplink resource carries the content of event-driven beam reporting (second uplink resource).

[0306] As shown in Figure 9-11, there are three corresponding relationships between events, the first uplink resource, and the second uplink resource, including at least one of the following:

[0307] 1. There is a one-to-one relationship between events, primary uplink resources, and secondary uplink resources. That is, one primary uplink resource carries the notification information for one event, and one secondary uplink resource carries the reporting information for one event. An event-driven reporting configuration is associated with or contains one event, one primary uplink resource, and / or one secondary uplink resource.

[0308] Example of high-level parameter configuration:

[0309] 2. The relationship between an event and the first uplink resource is one-to-many, and the relationship between an event and the second uplink resource is also one-to-many. The relationship between the first and second uplink resources is one-to-one. That is, one first uplink resource carries notification information for multiple events, and one second uplink resource carries reporting information for multiple events. An event-driven reporting configuration may be associated with or contain multiple events, one first uplink resource, and / or one second uplink resource.

[0310] Example of high-level parameter configuration:

[0311] 3. The relationship between an event and the first uplink resource is one-to-many, the relationship between an event and the second uplink resource is one-to-one, and the relationship between the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource is one-to-many. That is, one first uplink resource carries the notification information for one event, and one second uplink resource carries the reporting information for multiple events. An event-driven reporting configuration may be associated with or contain multiple events, one first uplink resource, and / or multiple second uplink resources.

[0312] Example of high-level parameter configuration:

[0313] The high-level parameter eventQuantity indicates the number of events in the reporting configuration.

[0314] In some embodiments, the first uplink resource is earlier than the second uplink resource in the time domain, as shown in Figure 12.

[0315] Here's how to configure the period and offset values ​​for these two uplink resources:

[0316] In some embodiments, the period and offset of the first uplink resource and the period and offset of the second uplink resource are configured respectively.

[0317] In some embodiments, the period and offset value of the first uplink resource are configured, the offset value of the second uplink resource is configured, and the offset value of the second uplink resource is relative to the first uplink resource.

[0318] Specifically, the period and offset of the first uplink resource and the offset value of the second uplink resource relative to the first uplink resource are configured, or the period and offset value of the second uplink resource and the offset value of the first uplink resource relative to the second uplink resource are configured.

[0319] In some embodiments, the notification information occupies 1 bit and indicates whether an event has been triggered.

[0320] Specifically, in some implementations of this disclosure, the meaning of the code point corresponding to this bit is shown in Table 36.

[0321] Table 36: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0322] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if no event is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of 0, and will not subsequently detect scheduling information or send measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of 0, the base station will not send scheduling information or detect measurement results.

[0323] If a beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if an event is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of 1, and subsequently checks scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of 1, the base station will send scheduling information and / or check measurement results.

[0324] In other implementations of this disclosure, if no beam meets the event triggering condition, or if no event is triggered, the terminal device sends a negative notification message, or the terminal device does not report the notification message, and subsequently does not detect scheduling information and / or send measurement results. When the base station detects a negative notification message, or the base station does not detect a notification message, the base station will not send scheduling information and / or detect measurement results.

[0325] If a beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if an event is triggered, the terminal device sends a positive notification message and subsequently checks scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects the positive notification message, it sends scheduling information and / or checks measurement results.

[0326] In some embodiments, the notification information indicates an index of an event.

[0331] If a beam satisfies the triggering condition of event i (i≥1), or if event i is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of i, and subsequently detects scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of i, the base station sends scheduling information and / or detects measurement results.

K event Indicates the number of events. If K event =4, then N event =2. The meanings of these bit code points are shown in Table 38.

[0333] Table 38: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0334] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if no event is triggered, the terminal device will not send notification information, nor will it detect scheduling information and / or send measurement results. When the base station does not detect notification information, it will not send scheduling information and / or detect measurement results.

[0335] If a beam meets the triggering condition of event i (i≥1), or if event i is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of i-1, and subsequently checks scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of i, the base station will send scheduling information and / or check the measurement results.

[0336] In some embodiments, the notification information indicates the number of events.

[0337] Specifically, in one implementation of this disclosure, an event refers to a triggered event that occupies N. event 1 bit. K event Indicates the number of events. If K event =4, then N event =3. The meanings of these bit code points are shown in Table 39.

[0338] Table 39: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0339] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if no event is triggered, the terminal device will send a notification message with a value of 0, and will not detect scheduling information or send measurement results. When the base station does not detect a notification message with a value, the base station will not send scheduling information or detect measurement results.

[0340] If a beam meets the event triggering condition, or if an event is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of i (i≥1), and subsequently detects scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of i, the base station sends scheduling information and / or detects measurement results.

[0341] In this method, the measurement results need to include the index of the triggering event.

[0342] In another implementation of this disclosure, an event refers to a triggered event, occupying N. event 1 bit. K event Indicates the number of events. If K event =4, then N event =2. The meanings of these bit code points are shown in Table 40.

[0343] Table 40: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0344] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if no event is triggered, the terminal device will not send notification information, nor will it detect scheduling information and / or send measurement results. When the base station does not detect notification information, it will not send scheduling information and / or detect measurement results.

[0345] If a beam meets the event triggering condition, or if an event is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of i (i≥0), and subsequently checks scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of i, the base station will send scheduling information and / or check the measurement results.

[0346] In this method, the measurement results need to include the index of the triggering event.

[0347] In some embodiments, the notification information is presented in the form of a bitmap indicating an index of at least one event.

[0348] Specifically, in one implementation, the index of one or more events indicates that a beam satisfies the triggering conditions of these one or more events, or indicates that these one or more events are triggered, occupying N. event N bits. event =K event K event Indicates the number of events. If K event =4, then N event =4. The meanings of these bit code points are shown in Table 41.

[0349] Table 41: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0350] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if no event is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message with a bitmap of '0000', and will not subsequently detect scheduling information or send measurement results. When the base station does not detect a notification message with a bitmap of '0000', the base station will not send scheduling information or detect measurement results.

[0351] If a beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if an event is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message indicating that the bitmap is not '0000', and subsequently checks scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message indicating that the bitmap is not '0000', the base station will send scheduling information and / or check measurement results.

[0352] In another implementation, the index of one or more events indicates that a beam satisfies the triggering conditions of these one or more events, or that these one or more events have been triggered, occupying N. event N bits. event =K event K event Indicates the number of events. If K event =4, then N event =4. The meanings of these bit code points are shown in Table 42.

[0353] Table 42: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0354] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if no event is triggered, the terminal device will not send notification information, nor will it detect scheduling information and / or send measurement results. When the base station does not detect notification information, the base station will not send scheduling information and / or detect measurement results.

[0355] If a beam meets the event triggering conditions, or if an event is triggered, the terminal device sends a notification message indicating that the bitmap is not '0000', and subsequently checks scheduling information and / or sends measurement results. When the base station detects a notification message indicating that the bitmap is not '0000', the base station will send scheduling information and / or check measurement results.

[0356] In some embodiments, the information indicates the number of beam indices and / or quality values.

[0357] Specifically, in one implementation of this disclosure, the beam refers to the beam reported in the measurement results, occupying N. indicator 1 bit. N maxbeam This represents the maximum number of beams that can be reported, predefined or configured by higher-level parameters. If N maxbeam =4, then N indicator=2, and the meanings of these bit code points are shown in Table 43.

[0358] Table 43: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0359] These code points also implicitly indicate that an event has been triggered.

[0360] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, the terminal device will not send a notification message, and will not subsequently detect scheduling information or send measurement results. When the base station does not detect a notification message, the base station will not send scheduling information or detect measurement results.

[0361] If a beam meets the event triggering condition and reports an index and / or quality value of i (i≥1), the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of i-1. Subsequently, it will detect scheduling information and / or send measurement results, which contain at least the indices and / or quality values ​​of i beams. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of i-1, the base station will send scheduling information and / or detect measurement results.

[0362] This method is equivalent to replacing the first part of the reported content with notification information to indicate the number of reports of variable quantity, which can speed up the demodulation of the second uplink resource by the base station.

[0363] In another implementation of this disclosure, the beam refers to the beam reported in the measurement results, occupying N. indicator 1 bit. N maxbeam This represents the maximum number of beams that can be reported, predefined or configured by higher-level parameters. If N maxbeam =4, then N indicator =3, and the meanings of these bit code points are shown in Table 44.

[0364] Table 44: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0365] A code point with a value of 0 implicitly indicates that no event has been triggered, while a code point with a value greater than or equal to 1 implicitly indicates that an event has been triggered.

[0366] If no beam meets the event triggering conditions, the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of 0, and will not subsequently detect scheduling information or send measurement results.

[0367] If a beam meets the event triggering conditions and reports an index and / or quality value of i (i≥1), the terminal device sends a notification message with a value of i. Subsequently, it will detect scheduling information and / or send measurement results, which contain at least the indices and / or quality values ​​of i beams. When the base station detects a notification message with a value of i, the base station will send scheduling information and / or detect measurement results.

[0368] This method is equivalent to replacing the first part of the reported content with notification information to indicate the number of reports of variable quantity, which can speed up the demodulation of the second uplink resource by the base station.

[0369] In some embodiments, the notification information indicates information about the event and information about the beam.

[0370] Specifically, an event refers to a triggered event, and a beam refers to the beam reported in the measurement results, occupying N bits. Event information can be the event index or the number of events. Beam information can be the beam index and / or the number of quality values.

[0371] N of these N bits can be used event N bits are used to indicate information about the event. indicator N bits are used to indicate beam information. event 1 and N indicator The meanings of the code points corresponding to each bit are shown in Table 45.

[0372] Table 45: Meaning of Code Points / Indexes and Their Corresponding Values

[0373] Alternatively, a combined encoding (table) method can be used, where N bits simultaneously indicate both event information and beam information. The meanings of these N bits are shown in Table 46.

[0374] Table 46: Meaning of Code Point / Index and Corresponding Code Point / Index

[0375] In some embodiments, the notification information is carried in uplink control information (UCI). When the notification information overlaps with Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) resources and / or Schedule Request (SR) resources, different cyclic shifts are used and multiplexing is achieved by selecting different resources.

[0376] Specifically, in one implementation of this disclosure, the notification information is a type of UCI, using affirmative / negative to indicate whether an event has been triggered, and is transmitted on PUCCH format 0-1. The resources carrying the notification information may overlap with HARQ resources and SR resources in the time domain. Therefore, how they are reused needs to be specified.

[0377] When the notification information overlaps with HARQ resources and / or SR resources, use different cyclic shifts m cs Furthermore, reuse can be achieved by selecting different resources.

[0378] When PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying 1 bit of HARQ and PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying negative notification information overlap in the time domain, the notification message and HARQ are multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 0 of HARQ, with the cyclic shift parameter m cs As shown in Table 47 below:

[0379] Table 47: HARQ Values ​​and Sequence Cyclic Shift Parameters

[0380] When PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying 2 bits of HARQ and PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying negative notification information overlap in the time domain, the notification message and HARQ are multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 0 of HARQ, with the cyclic shift parameter m. cs As shown in Table 48 below:

[0381] Table 48: HARQ Values ​​and Sequence Cyclic Shift Parameters

[0382] When PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying 1 bit of HARQ and PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying positive notification information overlap in the time domain, the notification message and HARQ are multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 0 of HARQ, with the cyclic shift parameter m. cs As shown in Table 49 below:

[0383] Table 49: HARQ Values ​​and Sequence Cyclic Shift Parameters

[0384] When PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying 2 bits of HARQ and PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying positive notification information overlap in the time domain, the notification message and HARQ are multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 0 of HARQ, with the cyclic shift parameter m. cs As shown in Table 50 below:

[0385] Table 50: HARQ Values ​​and Sequence Cyclic Shift Parameters

[0386] When PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying SR and PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying notification information overlap in the time domain, NI and HARQ are multiplexed and transmitted on PUCCH format 0 of SR or notification message, with cyclic shift parameter m. cs As shown in Table 51 below:

[0387] Table 51: {SR, Notification Information} and Sequence Cyclic Shift Parameters

[0388] In another implementation of this disclosure, the notification information is a UCI, using one bit to indicate whether an event has been triggered, and is transmitted on PUCCH format 0-1. The resources carrying the notification information may overlap with HARQ resources and SR resources in the time domain. Therefore, how they are reused needs to be specified.

[0389] When the notification information overlaps with HARQ resources and / or SR resources, use different cyclic shifts m cs Furthermore, reuse can be achieved by selecting different resources.

[0390] When a PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying a 1-bit HARQ and a PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying a 1-bit inform message overlap in the time domain, the inform message and HARQ are multiplexed and transmitted on the HARQ's PUCCH format 0 or 1, with the cyclic shift parameter m... cs As shown in Table 52 below:

[0391] Table 52: {HARQ value, information} and sequence cyclic shift parameters

[0392] When a PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying a 2-bit HARQ and a PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying a 1-bit notification message overlap in the time domain, the notification message and HARQ are multiplexed and transmitted on the notification message's PUCCH format 0 or 1, with the cyclic shift parameter m... cs As shown in Table 53 below:

[0393] Table 53: {HARQ value, HARQ value, information} and sequence cyclic shift parameters

[0394] When the PUCCH format 0 or 1 carrying a 1-bit notification message and the PUCCH format 0 or 1 of the SR overlap in the time domain, the notification message and the SR are multiplexed and transmitted on the PUCCH format 0 or 1 of the notification message, with the cyclic shift parameter m. cs As shown in Table 54 below:

[0395] Table 54: {SR, Notification Information} and Sequence Cyclic Shift Parameters

[0396] In some embodiments, information disclosure is a form of UCI.

[0397] Resources carrying notification information may overlap with HARQ resources, SR resources, and CSI resources in the time domain. Therefore, how they can be reused needs to be defined.

[0398] When these UCIs are multiplexed on the PUCCH, the order of the UCI bit sequence needs to be defined.

[0399] When the notification information does not occupy bits, and is multiplexed with CSI on PUCCH, one notification information requires 1 bit, and N notification information will occupy N bits.

[0400] Scenario 1: No CSI report has two parts, or all CSI reports have only one part, and there is only one UCI sequence.

[0401] The order of the UCI bit sequence can be at least one of the following:

[0402] Method 1: The order of the UCI bit sequence is: HARQ bits → informative bits → SR bits → CSI bits, meaning the informative bits are after the HARQ bits and before the SR bits. This implies that the informative bits are less important than HARQ bits but more important than SR bits.

[0403] Method 2: The order of the UCI bit sequence is: HARQ bit → SR bit → informative bit → CSI bit, meaning the informative bit comes after the SR bit and before the CSI bit. This implies that the informative bit is less important than SR but more important than CSI.

[0406] The order of the UCI bit sequence can be at least one of the following:

[0407] Method 1: The order of the first UCI bit sequence is: HARQ bit → informative bit → SR bit → CSI-part1 bit. That is, the informative bit is in the first UCI sequence, after the SR bit and before the CSI-part1 bit. This means the informative bit is less important than HARQ but more important than SR. The order of the second UCI bit sequence is: CSI-part2 bit.

[0408] Method 2: The order of the first UCI bit sequence is: HARQ bit → SR bit → informative bit → CSI-part1 bit. That is, the informative bit is in the first UCI sequence, after the SR bit and before the CSI-part1 bit. This means the informative bit is less important than SR, but more important than CSI-part1. The order of the second UCI bit sequence is: CSI-part2 bit.

This implies that the informative bit is less important than CSI-part2.

[0413] In other embodiments, the notification information is a type of UCI.

[0414] If a notification message is associated with only one event, then the first uplink resource carrying notification messages for different events will be different and may overlap in the time domain. Therefore, how they can be reused needs to be defined.

[0415] When UCI is multiplexed on PUCCH, the order of the informative bits related to different events in the UCI sequence needs to be defined.

[0416] The order of the information bits is as follows: information bits related to the first event → information bits related to the second event → information bits related to the third event → ...

[0417] The order of each event (first event, second event, third event) in the sequence of information bits is at least one of the following:

[0418] Method 1: Sort by event index size

[0419] The first event is the event with index 1, the second event is the event with index 2, the third event is the event with index 3, and so on.

[0420] Method 2: Arrange events according to priority

[0423] The first resource carrying the notification information of the first event predates the first resource carrying the notification information of the second event, and the first resource carrying the notification information of the second event predates the first resource carrying the notification information of the third event...

[0424] In some embodiments, information disclosure is a form of UCI.

[0425] When UCI is multiplexed on PUSCH, the computation order of the coded modulation symbols and the resource mapping order of UCI need to be defined.

[0426] When the notification message does not occupy bits, when multiplexed on the PUSCH, one notification message requires 1 bit, and N notification messages require N bits. This is different from SR.

[0438] Resource mapping order:

[0439] HARQ bits are mapped to a portion of the resource of the first symbol after the first DMRS of the PUSCH; inform bits are mapped starting from the first non-DMRS symbol of the PUSCH; after the inform bits are mapped, CSI-part1 bits are mapped after the inform resource; after CSI-part1 bits are mapped, CSI-part2 bits are mapped; the mapping of inform, CSI-part1, and CSI-part2 bits skips DMRS symbols.

[0440] Method 2:

[0448] Method 3:

[0449] The calculation order of the coded modulation symbols is: HARQ+ notification information → CSI-part1 → CSI-part2, where HARQ+ notification information is calculated simultaneously.

[0450] Number of HARQ+ information encoded modulation symbols:

[0451] Number of coded modulation symbols in CSI-part1:

[0452] Number of coded modulation symbols in CSI-part2:

[0453] Resource mapping order:

[0454] HARQ bits and inform bits are mapped together to a portion of the resource of the first symbol after the first DMRS of the PUSCH; after the HARQ bits and inform bits are mapped, CSI-part1 bits are mapped after the inform resource; after CSI-part1 bits are mapped, CSI-part2 bits are mapped; the mapping of inform, CSI-part1 and CSI-part2 bits skips the DMRS symbol.
