[0047] First, the content related to the present application is introduced.

[0048] 1. Based on event triggered L3 measurement and reporting

[0049] In current standards, the measurement and reporting based on events are L3 measurement results, and the main purpose is to evaluate the quality of the cell in order to facilitate cell handover. The terminal (also known as User Equipment (UE)) will only make L3 measurements on the neighboring cell when the quality of the serving cell is lower than a certain threshold (i.e. event A2 in Table 1); the UE will only make L3 reporting when the measurement result of the neighboring cell meets a certain event (i.e. one of the events in Table 1). For the event definition in Table 1, the current L3 reporting is through a measurement configuration (Meas Config) associated with a reporting configuration (Report Config) and a measurement object (Meas Object), and the Report Config is associated with an event configuration. In L3 reporting, in order for the network to determine the event corresponding to the reporting content, in addition to the L3 measurement result, the terminal will also report the measurement configuration identifier (Meas Config id).

[0050] Table 1 Event definition for terminal triggered L3 reporting

[0051] In Table 1, the parameters are explained as follows:

[0052] Mn: measurement result of the neighboring cell, without considering any offset

[0053] Ofn: offset specific to the measurement object of the neighboring cell

[0054] Ocn: offset specific to the cell level of the neighboring cell

[0055] Mp: measurement result of the SpCell (primary serving cell), without considering any offset

[0056] Ofp: offset specific to the measurement object of the SpCell

[0057] Ocp: offset specific to the cell level of the SpCell

[0058] Hys: hysteresis parameter of the event

[0059] Off: offset parameter of the event

[0060] Mi: interference measurement result

[0061] 2. Beam measurement and reporting

[0062] 1) Beam measurement

[0063] Analog beamforming is a full-bandwidth transmission, and each polarization array element on each high-frequency antenna array panel can only transmit analog beams in a time-division multiplexing manner. The analog beamforming weight is realized by adjusting the parameters of the radio frequency front-end phase shifter and other devices.

[0064] Currently, in academia and industry, the training of analog beamforming vectors is usually done in a polling manner, that is, the elements of each antenna panel and each polarization direction send training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) in turn at a designated time in a time-division multiplexing manner. After measurement, the terminal feeds back a beam report for the network side to use the training signal to implement analog beam transmission when transmitting services next time.

[0065] Currently, the standard only supports beam measurement through CSI-RS or SSB, and the CSI-RS for beam measurement has only 1-2 ports. Among them, SSB is a periodic reference signal, while the CSI-RS for beam measurement can be periodic, semi-persistent or aperiodic.

[0066] Beam measurement is divided into L1 beam measurement and L3 beam measurement, where L1 beam measurement is limited to serving cells in Release 15 and 16, where Release 15 only supports L1-RSRP measurement, and Release 16 introduces L1-SINR, which considers inter-cell interference or inter-user interference in beam measurement. In Release 17, cross-cell beam management and cross-cell multi-transmission-reception node projects support L1 beam measurement of neighbor cells that are on the same frequency and synchronized with the current serving cell, and in Release 18, mobile enhancement projects support L1 beam measurement of asynchronous and different frequency neighbor cells. Both currently only support SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement. After the terminal performs L1 beam measurement according to the network configured measurement resource, it selects some beams for reporting according to the measurement result.

[0067] 2) Beam reporting

[0068] The currently supported L1 beam measurement reporting in the standard is L1-RSRP / L1-RSRQ / L1-SINR, and the beam reporting method includes group-based and non-group-based. For non-group-based beam reporting, the terminal selects up to 4 beams in all measurement resources configured by the network side for reporting according to the measurement quantity. For group-based beam reporting, the terminal selects a pair of beams that can be received simultaneously by the UE for reporting according to the measurement result in Release 15 / 16.

[0069] In the existing protocol, if the report quantity field in the high-layer parameter CSI Report Config is configured as "cri-RSRP" or "cri-SINR" or "ssb-Index-SINR" or "ssb-Index-RSRP", it means that the current CSI report is a beam report. When the groupBasedBeamReporting field is "enabled", the UE can only report one pair of beams: including two CMR identifiers (CRI or SSBRI) and their corresponding L1-RSRP / L1-SINR values. When the groupBasedBeamReporting field is "disabled", the UE can report the CMR identifiers and their corresponding L1-RSRP corresponding to 4 beams. When the number of reported beams is greater than 1, the remaining L1-RSRP / L1-SINR values except the maximum value are differentially reported with the maximum value.

[0070] In the Release 17 Multi-Transmission Reception Point project, the group-based beam reporting method is enhanced. The terminal can select up to 4 pairs of beams that the UE can receive simultaneously from the network configured measurement resources, and each pair of beams corresponds to different transmission reception points, so as to ensure that the network can send the pair of beams simultaneously.

[0071] In the Release 18 L1 / L2-Triggered Mobility (hereinafter referred to as LTM) project, an L1 report for handover, ltm-CSI-ReportConfig, is introduced. In an L1 report for handover, the terminal can report up to 4 cells, each of which reports 4 beam measurement results, i.e. up to 16 beams and their corresponding measurement results.

[0072] In the current standard, the content of the L1 beam report is placed in the CSI part I, and the UCI bit length is fixed.

[0073] 3, Unified transmission configuration indication state (Unified TCI framework)

[0074] In the TCI framework, joint and separate modes are supported. The joint mode means that the beams of the downlink channel and the reference signal are the same, and the separate mode means that the beams of the downlink channel and the reference signal are the same, and the beams of the uplink channel and the reference signal are the same, but the beams of the uplink and downlink are different.

[0075] For joint mode, network side needs to configure a list of TCI states, then activate and indicate UE's beam through MAC CE and DCI; for separate mode, network side needs a list of TCI states for downlink channel and reference signal, and a list of TCI-UL-States for uplink channel and reference signal. And for separate mode, TCI state activation and indication, through MAC CE in the form of beam pair (i.e. one TCI state + one TCI-UL-State) is activated, and then through DCI from the activated beam pair to determine a beam pair.

[0076] Consider that some channels and signals have higher requirements for robustness, but not too high requirements for transmission peak, so in Unified TCI framework, channels and signals are divided into two parts. The first part of signals and channels, its QCL assumption (for downlink) or spatial relationship (for uplink) is determined according to the unified TCI state indicated by the network. And the second part of signals and channels, whether its QCL assumption (for downlink) or spatial relationship (for uplink) is determined according to the unified TCI state indicated by the network needs to be combined with RRC configuration and whether the unified TCI state indicated by the network is associated with a neighbor cell to make a decision, the specific rules are as follows:

[0077] 1) If the RRC configuration information "followUnifiedTCI-State" corresponding to the second part of signals and channels is enabled, and the unified TCI state indicated by the network is associated with the serving cell, then the QCL assumption (for downlink) or spatial relationship (for uplink) of the second part of signals and channels is determined according to the unified TCI state indicated by the network.

[0078] 2) If the RRC configuration information "followUnifiedTCI-State" corresponding to the second part of signals and channels is enabled, and the unified TCI state indicated by the network is associated with a neighbor cell, then the QCL assumption (for downlink) or spatial relationship (for uplink) of the second part of signals and channels is determined according to the TCI state / TCI-UL-State indicated by the network for the second part of signals and channels.

[0079] 3) If the RRC configuration information corresponding to the second part signal and the channel does not contain the high layer configuration parameter "followUnifiedTCI-State", the QCL assumption (for downlink) or spatial relationship (for uplink) of the second part signal and the channel is determined according to the TCI state / TCI-UL-State indicated by the network for the second part signal and the channel.

[0080] The current terminal triggered reporting mechanism is only for L3 measurement and reporting, and is mainly used for cell switching or mobility management. For L1 measurement and reporting, Release 15 / 16 / 17 / 18 only supports the form of network triggered period, semi-persistent or non-periodic. In order to further reduce the resource overhead and delay of reporting, Release 19 introduces the terminal triggered L1 beam reporting mechanism.

[0081] The reporting method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 2, a flowchart of a reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method is applied to a terminal device, as shown in FIG. 2, and the method specifically can include:

[0083] Step 201, the terminal device sends first information when at least one target object satisfies a reporting trigger condition; the first information is related information of a beam report.

[0084] The reporting trigger condition includes: when at least one target reference signal causes the number of occurrences of a target event corresponding to the target object in a first time window to be greater than or equal to a preset number, or the target event corresponding to the target object occurs.

[0085] It should be noted that the target object in the embodiments of the present application refers to an object for triggering beam reporting. Optionally, the target object includes at least one of: report configuration, event or reporting trigger condition configuration, cell, frequency, and member carrier.

[0086] The terminal device sends first information when at least one target object satisfies a reporting trigger condition. Specifically, it can include the following two cases:

[0087] The terminal device sends first information when at least one target reference signal causes the number of occurrences of a target event corresponding to the target object in a first time window to be greater than or equal to a preset number. For example, there is a first reference signal RS1, and the number of occurrences of the target event corresponding to the first reference signal RS1 in the first time window is greater than or equal to the preset number, and then the terminal device sends the first information.

[0088] Alternatively, the terminal device sends the first information in a case where a target event corresponding to a target object occurs.

[0089] The target reference signal in the embodiments of the present application can be a measurement reference signal for triggering beam reporting. For example, the target reference signal can be a measurement RS corresponding to a candidate beam, or a measurement RS corresponding to a beam currently used by the terminal device. Further, the measurement RS of the candidate beam can be determined by RRC configuration, determined or updated by MAC CE. The measurement RS corresponding to the beam currently used by the terminal device can be determined according to Indicated TCI state, including two schemes: one is determined according to the QCL source RS (i.e., CSI-RS) of Indicated TCI state; the other is determined according to the QCL root source RS (i.e., SSB) of indicated TCI state.

[0090] The target reference signal in the embodiments of the present application can include at least one of a first reference signal and a third reference signal. Wherein, the target event corresponding to the first reference signal is that there is at least one first measurement result of the first reference signal greater than a second measurement result of a second reference signal, and the difference between the first measurement result and the second measurement result is greater than or equal to a first threshold value. The target event corresponding to the third reference signal is that there is at least one measurement result of the third reference signal less than a second threshold value.

[0091] Optionally, the target event includes at least one of:

[0092] There is at least one first measurement result of the first reference signal greater than a second measurement result of a second reference signal, and the difference between the first measurement result and the second measurement result is greater than or equal to a first threshold value; the target reference signal is the first reference signal or the second reference signal;

[0093] There is at least one measurement result of the third reference signal less than a second threshold value; the target reference signal is the third reference signal.

[0094] The embodiment of the application determines that the target object meets the reporting trigger condition when at least one target reference signal exists so that the number of occurrences of the target event corresponding to the target object in the first time window is greater than or equal to the preset number, or the target event corresponding to the target object occurs, and the terminal device sends the first information. The embodiment of the application provides a dynamic trigger condition determination method. When the beam used by the terminal device dynamically changes according to the indication of the network side device, the reference signal meeting the reporting trigger condition can also change accordingly, so that the terminal device can timely report the beam according to the beam change, and the flexibility of the event determination mechanism of the terminal device triggering the beam reporting is improved.

[0095] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0096] The terminal device starts or restarts the first time window at the first time, and counts the number of occurrences of the target event in the first time window.

[0097] The first time comprises at least one of the following:

[0098] The time corresponding to the first occurrence of the target event;

[0099] The time determined based on the radio resource control configuration;

[0100] The time determined based on the transmission configuration indication state configured / activated / indicated by the network side device;

[0101] The time determined based on the first signaling; the first signaling is used to configure / activate / indicate / update at least one of the first reference signal, the second reference signal, and the third reference signal;

[0102] The time corresponding to the end time of the first time window minus the duration of the first time window.

[0103] It should be noted that the first occurrence of the target event can be that the condition corresponding to the target event is met, and the statistical value of the number of occurrences of the current target event is 0 or 1.

[0104] Optionally, the time determined based on the radio resource control configuration comprises the time determined based on at least one of the time slot offset value and the period configured by the radio resource control.

[0105] In the embodiment of the application, the time determined based on the radio resource control (RRC) configuration can be the time determined based on the time slot offset value and the period configured by the RRC. In this case, the position of the first time window in the time domain is fixed.

[0106] The time point determined based on the transmission configuration indication state (TCI state) configured / activated / indicated by the network side device can be a time point at which the TCI state configured / activated / indicated by the network side device takes effect.

[0107] Optionally, at least one of the second reference signal and the third reference signal is determined based on a transmission configuration indication state activated or indicated by the network side device.

[0108] Further, determining the RS based on the TCI state can include:

[0109] 1. determining the RS based on a QCL source RS of the TCI state;

[0110] 2. determining the RS based on a QCL source RS of a QCL source RS of the TCI state;

[0111] 3. determining the RS based on an RS having the same QCL assumption as the QCL source RS of the TCI state.

[0112] Optionally, when the number of TCI states indicated or activated by the network side device is greater than 1 and the number of RSs determined based on the TCI states indicated or activated by the network side device is greater than 1, the terminal device takes the best or worst RS based on the measurement result as at least one of the second RS and the third RS.

[0113] The time point determined based on the first signaling can be a time point at which the first signaling takes effect. The first signaling is at least one of RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.

[0114] Optionally, an ending time point of the first time window is not later than a second time point. The second time point is a time point before an uplink resource carrying the first information. A difference between the second time point and the uplink resource carrying the first information is a first preset value, and the first preset value is specified by a protocol. Alternatively, the second time point is a time point determined by the terminal based on the uplink resource carrying the first information.

[0115] Further, the ending time point of the first time window is the second time point. The second time point is a downlink slot corresponding to a CSI reference resource determined by the terminal device based on a PUCCH carrying the first information.

[0116] Optionally, the time point corresponding to the first occurrence of the target event includes at least one of:

[0117] a first slot or a first symbol after the target event first occurs;

[0118] a slot or a first symbol of a first reference signal occasion after the target event first occurs; the reference signal is at least one of the first reference signal, the second reference signal and the third reference signal;

[0119] a last symbol of a reference signal occasion that first meets the occurrence condition of the target event;

[0120] a slot of a reference signal occasion that first meets the occurrence condition of the target event.

[0121] Optionally, the number of the first time windows that the terminal device needs to maintain is greater than or equal to 1.

[0122] Optionally, the number of the first time windows is 1, and the terminal device respectively judges whether the at least one target reference signal meets the target event and respectively counts the occurrence number of the target event corresponding to each target reference signal in the first time window.

[0123] Alternatively, the number of the first time windows is equal to the number of the target reference signals, and the terminal device judges whether the target reference signal meets the target event and counts the occurrence number of the target event corresponding to the target reference signal in the first time window corresponding to each target reference signal.

[0124] For example, when the number of the first time windows is 1, the terminal device respectively judges whether the measurement result of multiple RSs meets the target event and respectively counts the occurrence number of the target event corresponding to each RS in the first time window; when the number of the first time windows is greater than 1, a typical application scenario is that the number of the first time windows is equal to the number of RSs (i.e. the third RS, for the target event b, there is at least one measurement result of the third reference signal less than the second threshold value) or the number of RS pairs (i.e. (the first RS, the second RS), for the target event a, there is at least one measurement result of the first RS greater than the measurement result of the second RS and the difference between the measurement results of the two is not less than the first threshold value), and the terminal device judges whether the measurement result of the RS or the RS pair meets the target event and counts the occurrence number of the target event corresponding to each RS or RS pair in the first time window.

[0125] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0126] The terminal device performs a first operation in the case of meeting a first condition.

[0127] The first condition comprises that at least one of the first reference signal, the second reference signal and the third reference signal changes.

[0128] The first operation comprises at least one of the following:

[0129] Clearing the statistical result of the number of occurrences of the target event;

[0244] Wherein, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0245] Optionally, the terminal device determines the value of N according to network configuration information. The following illustrates the signaling design of the beam report.

[0246] How to make the network side distinguish the first reference signal and the second reference signal needs to be further considered.

[0247] Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram of a UCI format of a beam report is shown according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, it is considered that the number of the second reference signals is 1, so the identity of the second reference signal can not be reported, and only the identity of the N first reference signals is reported. The measurement results of the N first reference signals are reported in a differential manner, that is, the measurement result of the first reference signal #1 is the highest in the N first reference signals, so it is reported in a direct quantization manner, occupying 7 bits. The measurement results of the remaining N-1 first reference signals are quantized after being differentiated from the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, each occupying 4 bits. The measurement result of the second reference signal is reported in a direct quantization manner, occupying 7 bits. The position of the measurement result of the second reference signal can be placed at the beginning of the N+1 measurement results as shown in the figure. In addition, it can also be placed before the identity of the first reference signal #1, or after the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, before the measurement results of the remaining N-1 first reference signals, or at the end of the N+1 measurement results.

[0248] Referring to FIG. 4, a schematic diagram of another UCI format of a beam report is shown according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, it is considered that the number of the second reference signals is 1, so the identity of the second reference signal can not be reported, and only the identity of the N first reference signals is reported. The measurement results of the N first reference signals and the measurement result of the second reference signal are all reported in a differential manner. That is, except for the first reference signal #1 (the measurement result of the first reference signal #1 is the highest, which is directly quantized and reported, occupying 7 bits), the measurement results of the remaining N-1 first reference signals and the measurement result of the second reference signal are all quantized after being differentiated from the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, that is, occupying 4 bits. The first indication information is used to indicate the position of the measurement result of the second reference signal in the N measurement results except for the first reference signal #1, and the first indication information occupies 2 bits. The measurement result of the first reference signal #1 is directly quantized and reported, occupying 7 bits. The measurement results of the remaining N-1 first reference signals and the measurement result of the second reference signal are all quantized after being differentiated from the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, each occupying 4 bits. bits. Assuming N is 4, the first indication information occupies 2 bits. If the position of the second reference signal is the first of the N measurement results except the first reference signal #1, the value of the first indication information is 0 or 00. Referring to FIG. 5, a schematic diagram of another UCI format of the beam report provided by the embodiment of the application is shown. As shown in FIG. 5, considering that the number of the second reference signal is 1, the identification of the second reference signal is not reported, and only the identification of the N first reference signals is reported. The measurement results of the N first reference signals and the measurement result of the second reference signal are both reported in a differential manner. That is, except the first reference signal #1 (the measurement result of the first reference signal #1 is the highest, directly quantized and reported, occupying 7 bits), the measurement results of the remaining N-1 first reference signals and the measurement result of the second reference signal are all quantized and reported after being differentiated from the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, that is, occupying 4 bits. The position of the measurement of the second reference signal in the beam report is specified by the protocol, and is further fixed, and the terminal side device and the network side device both interpret the beam report according to the UCI format specified by the protocol. As shown in the figure, the measurement result of the second reference signal is after the measurement result of the first reference signal #1 and before the measurement result of the remaining N-1 first reference signals. In addition, the measurement result of the second reference signal can also be located before the identification of the first reference signal #1, or after the identification of the first reference signal #N, before the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, or after the measurement results of the N first reference signals.

[0249] Referring to FIG. 6, a schematic diagram of another UCI format of beam reporting provided by the embodiment of the application is shown. As shown in FIG. 6, considering that the number of the second reference signals indicated or configured by the network side device is greater than 1, in addition to the identification of the N first reference signals, the terminal side device also needs to report the identification of the selected second reference signal. The measurement results of the N first reference signals and the measurement results of the second reference signals are both reported in a differential manner. That is, in addition to the first reference signal #1 (the measurement result of the first reference signal #1 is the highest, which is directly quantized and reported, occupying 7 bits), the measurement results of the remaining N-1 first reference signals and the measurement results of the second reference signals are all quantized and reported after being differentiated from the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, that is, occupying 4 bits. Considering that the identification of the second reference signal can be the same as the identification of the first reference signal, which causes the network to be unable to distinguish, therefore, the position of the identification of the second reference signal and the corresponding measurement result in the beam report is specified by the protocol, and is further fixed, and the terminal side device and the network side device both interpret the beam report according to the UCI format specified by the protocol. As shown in the figure, the identification of the second reference signal is located after the identification of the first reference signal #1, and the corresponding measurement result is also located after the measurement result of the first reference signal #1. In addition, the identification of the second reference signal can also be located before the identification of the first reference signal #1, and the corresponding measurement result is also located before the measurement result of the first reference signal #1, or the identification of the second reference signal is located after the identification of the first reference signal #N, and the measurement result of the second reference signal is located after the measurement results of the N first reference signals.

[0250] In the above embodiment, when the first reference signal or the second reference signal is an SSB, the identification of the corresponding reference signal can be an SSBRI or an SSB index; when the first reference signal or the second reference signal is a CSI-RS, the identification of the corresponding reference signal can be a CRI or a CSI-RS resource id.

[0251] The embodiment of the application makes the network side device consistent with the terminal in understanding the reference signal measurement result in the beam report by explicitly including the reporting rule in the case where the measurement result of the second reference signal and the measurement results of the N first reference signals are included in the beam report.

[0252] The conditional reporting process of the terminal device in the reporting method provided by the application is exemplarily described below in combination with several typical scenarios.

[0253] Referring to FIG. 7, a diagram of a first time window is shown according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, the first time window is opened after the occurrence condition of the target event is met (i.e., the measurement result of the first RS is higher than that of the second RS by a certain threshold). When the periods of the first RS and the second RS are different, the duration of the first time window includes the following three cases:

[0254] 1. N x T1, i.e., W1 (N=3) in FIG. 2, where T1 is the period of the second RS, or can be understood as the minimum value of the periods of the first RS and the second RS;

[0255] 2. N x T2, i.e., W2 (N=3) in FIG. 2, where T2 is the period of the first RS, or can be understood as the maximum value of the periods of the first RS and the second RS;

[0256] 3. X ms, where the value of X is specified by a protocol.

[0257] Referring to FIG. 8, a diagram of a first time window is shown according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 8, the ending time of the first time window is not earlier than or equal to the downlink time slot corresponding to the CSI reference resource determined based on the first target uplink resource (i.e., PUCCH resource) for carrying the first information, and the starting time of the first time window is the ending time of the first time window minus the time corresponding to the duration of the first time window. The duration of the first time window can be determined according to the manner in the above examples. When there is at least one same RS such that the number of occurrences of the target event within the first time window is not less than the preset number, such as RS#1 in FIG. 8, the terminal device transmits the first information on the corresponding PUCCH resource (i.e., PUCCH#1).

[0258] Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, diagrams of a judgment process of conditional reporting are shown according to embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the terminal device opens the first time window W1 when there is at least one first RS whose measurement result is greater than that of the second RS by a certain threshold, i.e., RS#1 and RS#3. Therefore, when the first time window W1 is opened, the counting values of the counter for counting the number of occurrences of the target event are 1, 0, and 1, corresponding to RS#1 to RS#3, respectively. In the present embodiment, the value of the preset number is 4. When the number of times that the measurement result of RS#1 is greater than that of the second RS by a certain threshold within the first time window W1 is equal to 4, the terminal device reports the first information, including the following two cases:

[0259] 1. After it is determined that the reporting trigger condition is met, the first information is transmitted on the nearest uplink resource, as shown in FIG. 9, where the first information is transmitted on PUCCH#1;

[0260] 2. After the first time window ends, the first information is sent on the latest uplink resource, as shown in FIG. 10, the first information is sent on PUCCH#2.

[0261] Referring to FIG. 11, a schematic diagram of a configuration and counting mechanism of a first time window provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 10, the measurement results of RS#1 and RS#3 meet the condition, so the first time window W1 is started, and the starting counting value is {1, 0, 1}. But in the first time window W1, the terminal device receives the first signaling, which is used to indicate the update of the second RS, which can include at least one of the following:

[0262] 1. DCI, used for TCI state update; the second RS is a QCL source RS of the indicated TCI state, or a QCL root source RS of the indicated TCI state, or an RS having the same QCL assumption as the QCL source RS of the indicated TCI state;

[0263] 2. MAC CE, used for TCI state activation; the second RS is a QCL source RS of the first TCI state, or a QCL root source RS of the first TCI state, or an RS having the same QCL assumption as the QCL source RS of the first TCI state; wherein the first TCI state is one or more TCI states in the TCI states activated by the MAC CE, and specifically can be a TCI state corresponding to the RS with the worst or best measurement result in the activated TCI states;

[0264] 3. MAC CE, used for indicating the second RS.

[0265] Since the second RS is a comparison RS, when the second RS changes, the first time window W1 and the counting results in it can no longer take effect, that is, the values of the counters are all cleared. As shown in FIG. 11, after the measurement result of RS#2 meets the condition, the time window W2 is started, and the values of the counters corresponding to the three RSs are {0, 1, 0}. After that, the terminal device continues to count the number of occurrences of the target event in the time window W2 until the value of the counter corresponding to RS#2 is equal to the preset number (i.e. 4), and the first information is sent on PUCCH#1.

[0266] Referring to FIG. 12, a schematic diagram of another configuration and counting mechanism of a first time window provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 11, the measurement results of RS#1 and RS#3 meet the condition, so the time window W1 is opened, and the starting counting value is {1, 0, 1}. But in the time window W1, the terminal device receives a first signaling, which is used to indicate the update of part of the first RS, which can include at least one of the following:

[0267] 1. MAC CE, used for TCI state activation; the first RS is a QCL source RS of a second TCI state, or a QCL root source RS of the second TCI state, or an RS having the same QCL assumption as the QCL source RS of the second TCI state; wherein the second TCI state is a TCI state other than the indicated TCI state in the TCI states activated by the MAC CE, or the second TCI state is a TCI state other than the TCI state activated by the MAC CE in the TCI states configured by RRC;

[0268] 2. MAC CE, used to indicate the first RS;

[0269] 3. DCI, used to indicate the TCI state; the first RS is one or more RSs associated with the indicated TCI state; the specific association relationship includes that the indicated TCI state is associated with a first RS set or a first RS subset or a TCI state set (the first RS includes the QCL source RS of the TCI state in the TCI state set).

[0270] As shown in FIG. 12, the first signaling updates RS#2 and RS#3 to RS#4 and RS#5, but RS#1 and the second RS are not changed, and before the opening of the time window W1, the measurement result of RS#1 is greater than the measurement result of the second RS by a certain threshold. Therefore, the time window W1 is still effective, and the counting number of RS#1 needs to be saved and continue to count based on this value in subsequent counting, and the counting number of RS#2 and RS#3 needs to be invalidated, i.e. cleared, and the counter of the meeting number of RS#4 and RS#5 needs to be opened (from 0), i.e. the counter #2 and the counter #3 after the first signaling. When the counter value of RS#1 is equal to 4, the terminal device judges that the reporting trigger condition is met, and then sends the first information on the PUCCH#1.

[0271] Referring to FIG. 13, a schematic diagram of another configuration of the first time window and the counting mechanism is shown. As shown in FIG. 13, all of the first RSs have changed after the indication of the first signaling. In this case, even if the second RSs have not changed, the previous comparison cannot be used because one of the two parties has changed. Therefore, after the first signaling, the time window W1 and the counting value of the counter are no longer valid. When the new first RS satisfies the condition (i.e., RS#5), the time window W2 is started, and the terminal device counts the number of times that the RS#4 to RS#6 satisfy the condition within the time window W2, until the value of the counter corresponding to RS#5 is equal to 4, i.e., the reporting trigger condition is satisfied, and the first information is sent on the PUCCH#1.

[0272] Referring to FIG. 14, a schematic diagram of the judgment flow of multiple time windows is shown. As shown in FIG. 14, the measurement results of RS#1 and RS#3 satisfy the condition, and therefore the time window W1 is started, and the initial counting value is {1, 0, 1}, i.e., the time window W1 can be understood as a time window for counting RS#1 and RS#3. When the measurement result of RS#2 satisfies the condition for the first time, the time window W2 is started, and the number of times that RS#2 satisfies the condition is counted within the time window W2. In this case, the two time windows can overlap, but because the counting behavior of the terminal device in the two time windows is different, the terminal device can still perform the respective behaviors in the overlapping part. Therefore, when the counter value corresponding to RS#1 is equal to 4, the terminal device sends the first information on the PUCCH#1; and when the counter value corresponding to RS#2 is equal to 4, the terminal device sends the first information on the PUCCH#2.

[0273] Referring to FIG. 15, a schematic diagram of another judgment flow of multiple time windows is shown. As shown in FIG. 15, the measurement results of RS#1 and RS#3 satisfy the condition, and therefore the time window W1 is started, and the initial counting value is {1, 0, 1}, i.e., the time window W1 can be understood as a time window for counting RS#1 and RS#3. However, in the time window W1, the terminal device receives the first signaling, which is used to indicate the update of the second RS.

[0274] Since the second RS is a contrast RS, when the second RS changes, the time window W1 and the counting result in the time window W1 are no longer valid, i.e., the counting results are cleared. As shown in FIG. 15, after the measurement result of RS#2 satisfies the condition, the time window W2 is started, and the value of the counter corresponding to RS#2 is 1 at this time. After this, the terminal counts the number of times that the condition of RS#2 is satisfied based on the time window W2. After the measurement result of RS#1 satisfies the condition, the time window W3 is started, and the value of the counter corresponding to RS#1 is 1 at this time. After this, the terminal counts the number of times that the condition of RS#1 is satisfied based on the time window W3. Based on this procedure, the terminal transmits the first information on PUCCH#1 and PUCCH#2 respectively after the values of the counters corresponding to RS#2 and RS#1 are equal to 4.

[0275] Referring to FIG. 16, a flowchart of another procedure of judging multiple time windows is shown. As shown in FIG. 16, the measurement results of RS#1 and RS#3 satisfy the condition, so the time window W1 is started, and the starting counting value is {1, 0, 1}, i.e., it can be understood that the time window W1 is a time window for counting RS#1 and RS#3. However, in the time window W1, the terminal receives the first signaling, which is used to indicate the update of the first RS.

[0276] Since the first signaling only indicates the change of RS#3, the time window W1 can still work, and the terminal continues to count the number of times that the condition of RS#1 is satisfied in the time window W1. When the counting number of the counter corresponding to RS#1 is equal to 4, the terminal transmits the first information on PUCCH#1, as shown in FIG. 16. When the measurement result of RS#2 satisfies the condition for the first time, the time window W2 is started, and the number of times that the condition of RS#2 is satisfied is counted in the time window W2. When the counting number of the counter corresponding to RS#2 is equal to 4, the terminal transmits the first information on PUCCH#2, as shown in FIG. 16. Since RS#3 changes, the counting value in the time window W1 before the change is invalid, i.e., it is cleared. When the updated RS#3 satisfies the condition for the first time, the time window W3 is started, and the number of times that the condition of RS#3 is satisfied is counted in the time window W3. When the counting number of the counter corresponding to RS#3 is equal to 4, the terminal transmits the first information on PUCCH#3, as shown in FIG. 16.

[0277] Further, the transmission process of the first information is exemplified below in combination with a typical scenario.

[0278] In a possible application scenario, multiple target objects are associated with the same PUCCH resource for transmitting the first information.

[0279] With reference to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, a conditional reporting flow diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, when at least one reporting trigger condition of a plurality of target objects corresponding to a plurality of reports is met, the terminal sends first information through a PUCCH resource associated with the plurality of target objects. In the present application, the target object is described by a report, but the target object is not limited to a report. As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, report#1, report#2, and report#3 are associated with the same PUCCH resource (the PUCCH resource is a periodic resource, and PUCCH#1, PUCCH#1', PUCCH#1", and PUCCH#1'" are different resource occasions). Before PUCCH#1, the reporting trigger conditions of report#1 to report#3 are all met, and the terminal sends 1 bit or a sequence on PUCCH#1 to inform the network side that there is beam information to be reported. After successfully detecting PUCCH#1, the network side schedules an uplink resource (PUSCH in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18). Since the information carried in PUCCH#1 is limited (i.e., only the existence of beam information to be reported is notified), the network side does not determine which report or reports are triggered to be reported. From the perspective of resource utilization, the network side only allocates an uplink resource that can carry one report, that is, the PUSCH resource in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 can only carry the reporting content of one report.

[0280] Under this assumption, there are three report contents to be reported on the terminal side, and one reporting method (as shown in FIG. 17) is to arrange all the reports to be sent according to the priority, repeatedly send 1 bit information or sequence information on the PUCCH resource, and then send the reports according to the priority on the uplink resource scheduled by the network side until all the reports to be sent are completely sent. Further optionally, only when the report with high priority is successfully sent and successfully received by the network side (optionally, after detecting the feedback information that the report is successfully received by the network side), the terminal can send the report with lower priority on the uplink resource scheduled by the network side.

[0281] The difference between FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 is that the uplink resource carrying the report in FIG. 18 is pre-allocated by the network (including periodic or semi-persistent resources), rather than dynamically scheduled by the network. The rest of the behavior is consistent with FIG. 17.

[0282] In another possible application scenario, a plurality of target objects are associated with different PUCCH resources for sending first information, and the PUCCH resources associated with the plurality of target objects overlap in time domain or frequency domain.

[0283] Referring to FIG. 19, another flow diagram of condition reporting provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in FIG. 19, the difference between the embodiment of the present application and FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 is that the PUCCH resources associated with different reports are no longer the same, but the different PUCCH resources overlap in time domain or frequency domain resources, such as PUCCH#1 and PUCCH#2 in FIG. 19, which are different PUCCH resources, but overlap in time domain. In this case, the terminal needs to select one PUCCH resource or determine one PUCCH resource according to the different PUCCH resources and send the first information. After determining the PUCCH resource for sending the first information, the terminal sends the first information and the behavior of subsequent reports is the same as that in FIG. 17 or FIG. 18. For the overlapping PUCCH resources, the terminal determines the PUCCH resource carrying the first information according to at least one of the following rules:

[0284] 1. Determine according to the priority of the PUCCH resource;

[0285] 2. Determine according to the load size of the PUCCH resource;

[0286] Further, the PUCCH resource with larger load is selected as the resource carrying the first information.

[0287] 3. Determine according to the transmission parameter of the PUCCH resource;

[0288] Further, the PUCCH resource with higher transmission reliability is selected as the resource carrying the first information; for example, lower MCS.

[0289] 4. Determine according to the CC associated with the first target uplink resource;

[0290] Further, the PUCCH resource with smaller associated CC index is selected as the resource carrying the first information; or the PUCCH resource associated with a low frequency carrier (FR1) is selected as the resource carrying the first information.

[0291] It should be noted that when the first information is sequence information and different PUCCH resources correspond to different sequences, after determining the target PUCCH resource actually sent, the target sequence required to be sent is determined according to the target PUCCH resource, and then the target sequence is sent on the target PUCCH resource.

[0292] The dynamic updating process of the report list is illustrated below.

[0293] In the above embodiment, the terminal needs to maintain a report list and determine the report to be sent and the sending order according to the report list. First, the terminal places all the reports meeting the reporting trigger condition in the list and sorts the sending order according to the priority rule. In addition, the report list to be sent is updated according to the sending situation of the report, that is, after sending a report, or successfully sending a report and being correctly received by the network, the terminal deletes the report from the report list; otherwise, the terminal always sends the report on the network scheduled or pre-allocated resource. Considering that transmission and network demodulation and decoding and feedback to the terminal need a certain time, if during this period, the network schedules a new uplink resource, the terminal cannot transmit the sub-priority report. Therefore, the embodiment introduces a report list updating method based on a time window.

[0294] Referring to FIG. 20, an update diagram of a report list provided by an embodiment of the application is shown. As shown in FIG. 20, after sending the report #1 (that is, after the last symbol of the PUCCH / PUSCH #2), the terminal starts a time window W1, and within the time window W1, the terminal no longer sends the report #1, but sends other reports such as the report #2 or the report #3 according to the arrangement order of the reports in the report list to be sent. If the terminal receives the information that the report is correctly received by the network before the time window is cut off, the report #1 is deleted from the report list to be sent; if the terminal receives the information that the report #1 is not correctly received by the network before the time window is cut off, or does not receive the information that the report #1 is correctly received by the network before the time window is cut off, the report #1 is included in the report list to be sent.

[0295] Considering the terminal high-speed moving scenario, there may be a situation that the reporting content in the same triggered report is different at different time, such as different reported RS or the same reported RS but the measurement result of the RS is quite different. For this, if the report list is updated based on the time window, the report with changed reporting content cannot be reported, and then the real-time beam situation of the terminal cannot be timely reported to the network side. For this, an embodiment of the application proposes a report list updating method based on the measurement result / reporting content.

[0296] With reference to FIG. 21, another schematic diagram of updating of the report list is shown according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 21, after the terminal transmits the report#1 on the PUCCH / PUSCH#2, the report#1 is further optionally deleted from the to-be-transmitted report list after the terminal receives the information of successful reception of the report#1 from the network side. However, when the trigger corresponding to the report#1 is still satisfied and the reporting content of the report#1 changes at the time t2, the report#1 needs to be added to the to-be-transmitted report list and transmitted in turn according to the priority order of the reports.

[0297] With reference to FIG. 22, another schematic diagram of updating of the report list is shown according to an embodiment of the present application. The scheme shown in FIG. 22 is a combination of the schemes shown in FIGS. 20 and 21. After the terminal transmits the report#1 (i.e., after the last symbol of the PUCCH / PUSCH#2), the terminal starts a time window W1, and within the time window, the terminal no longer transmits the report#1, but transmits other reports, such as the report#2 or the report#3, in turn according to the arrangement order of the reports in the to-be-transmitted report list. If the terminal receives the information of correct reception of the report#1 from the network before the time window expires and the reporting content of the report#1 does not change, the report#1 is deleted from the to-be-transmitted report list. If the terminal receives the information of incorrect reception of the report#1 from the network before the time window expires or does not receive the information of correct reception of the report#1 from the network before the time window expires, the report#1 is included in the to-be-transmitted report list.

[0298] In summary, the reporting method provided in the embodiments of the present application monitors the occurrence of the target event corresponding to each target object within the first time window, and when there is at least one target reference signal such that the number of occurrences of the target event corresponding to the target object within the first time window is greater than or equal to the preset number, or the target event corresponding to the target object occurs, it is determined that the target object satisfies the reporting trigger condition, and the terminal device transmits the first information. In the embodiments of the present application, when the beam used by the terminal device dynamically changes according to the indication of the network side device, the target object, the reference signal, and the target event triggered by the reference signal that satisfy the reporting trigger condition can also change accordingly, so that the terminal device can timely perform beam reporting according to the change of the beam, and the flexibility of the event judgment mechanism for triggering beam reporting of the terminal device is improved.
