Description

Signaling indication method and device, network side equipment and terminal

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411089798.1, filed on August 9, 2024, and entitled "Signaling indication method and device, network side equipment and terminal", the whole content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communication, and particularly refers to a signaling indication method, device, network side equipment and terminal. BACKGROUND

[0003] In a communication system, for a terminal using carrier aggregation and in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, the serving cells of the terminal include a primary cell (Pcell) and secondary cells (Scells). The primary cell of the terminal will always send synchronization signals and PBCH blocks (SSBs) so that the terminal can keep synchronization with the primary cell and establish a data communication link. The number of secondary cells can be large, and in order to save energy of the base station, a part of the secondary cells will also send SSBs so that the terminal can receive services from these secondary cells; for another part of the secondary cells, the base station will let them enter an energy saving state, in which these secondary cells do not send SSBs or send long period SSBs.

[0004] When these energy saving secondary cells need to provide data transmission services to the terminal, these energy saving secondary cells will be instructed to send on-demand SSBs and / or on-demand tracking reference signals (TRSs) so that the terminal can complete random access and downlink fine synchronization based on the on-demand SSBs and / or on-demand TRSs; further, in order to realize the activation of the energy saving secondary cells, the terminal needs to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs and / or on-demand TRSs to the network side equipment so as to select appropriate secondary cells to complete the activation of the energy saving secondary cells. However, the current technology does not specify how the network side equipment triggers the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs and / or on-demand TRSs, thereby causing the terminal to be unable to accurately and timely report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs and / or on-demand TRSs to the network side equipment.

[0353] The second field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate the activation or deactivation state of one or more first CSI reporting configurations; the second field is a reserved bit of the first MAC CE;

[0354] And / or,

[0355] The third field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate whether the first MAC CE is applicable to the activation or deactivation of the CSI reporting related to the first object.

[0356] As another optional embodiment, the MAC CE is a second MAC CE; the second MAC CE includes a plurality of fourth fields; wherein each fourth field is used to indicate an activation or deactivation state of one or more first CSI reporting configurations.

[0357] In some embodiments, the first CSI reporting configuration is a semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration.

[0358] For example, the first field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration.

[0359] In some embodiments, the first MAC CE includes a plurality of first fields, and each first field occupies 1 bit.

[0360] In an implementation manner, in a case where the first field is configured as a first value, the first field indicates that the terminal activates a plurality of first CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the first field.

[0361] Or, in a case where the first field is configured as a second value, the first field indicates that the terminal deactivates a plurality of first CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the first field.

[0362] In some embodiments, at least one first field in the first MAC CE corresponds to a plurality of CSI reporting configuration identifiers. For example, the first field is configured as 1 to indicate that a plurality of semi-persistent CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the first field should be activated. The first field is configured as 0 to indicate that a plurality of semi-persistent CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the first field should be deactivated.

[0363] In some embodiments, at least one CSI reporting configuration identifier in the first MAC CE corresponds to a CSI reporting configuration including the first object CSI reporting configuration.

[0364] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes:

[0365] The terminal receives a correspondence between the first field and a plurality of CSI reporting configuration identifiers indicated by the network side device through a second manner; wherein the second manner includes at least one of predefinition, pre-configuration, and semi-static signaling configuration.

[0366] Correspondingly, after the terminal receives the correspondence between the first field and a plurality of CSI reporting configuration identifiers, the terminal can determine a plurality of CSI reporting configuration identifiers corresponding to the first field according to the correspondence.

[0367] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second field corresponds to one CSI reporting configuration identifier, or the second field corresponds to multiple CSI reporting configuration identifiers, or the second field corresponds to an index number of a list of CSI reporting configuration identifiers.

[0368] The CSI reporting configuration indicated by the CSI reporting configuration identifier includes the CSI reporting configuration of the first object.

[0369] For example, at least one reserved bit in the first MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration, which is referred to as the second field.

[0370] As another optional embodiment, in the case where the second field is configured as a first value, the second field indicates that the terminal activates multiple first CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the second field.

[0371] Or,

[0372] In the case where the second field is configured as a second value, the second field indicates that the terminal deactivates multiple first CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the second field.

[0373] For example, the second field configured as 1 indicates that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the second field should be activated. The second field configured as 0 indicates that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the second field will be deactivated.

[0374] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0375] The terminal receives the correspondence relationship between the second field and one CSI reporting configuration identifier, or multiple CSI reporting configuration identifiers, or an index number of a list of CSI reporting configuration identifiers indicated by the network side device through a third manner.

[0376] The third manner includes at least one of predefinition, pre-configuration, and semi-static signaling configuration.

[0377] Correspondingly, after the terminal receives the correspondence relationship between the second field and one CSI reporting configuration identifier, or multiple CSI reporting configuration identifiers, or an index number of a list of CSI reporting configuration identifiers, the terminal can determine one CSI reporting configuration identifier, or multiple CSI reporting configuration identifiers, or an index number of a list of CSI reporting configuration identifiers corresponding to the second field according to the correspondence relationship.

[0378] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third field indicates that the first MAC CE is applicable to the activation or deactivation of CSI reporting related to the first object if the third field is configured as a first value.

[0379] Alternatively, the third field indicates that the first MAC CE is not applicable to the activation or deactivation of CSI reporting related to the first object if the third field is configured as a second value.

[0380] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the third field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate whether the MAC CE is applicable to the activation / deactivation of CSI reporting for the first object. For example, the third field configured as 1 indicates that the MAC CE is applicable to the activation / deactivation of CSI reporting for the first object. The third field configured as 0 indicates that the MAC CE is not applicable to the activation / deactivation of CSI reporting for the first object.

[0381] In some embodiments, the second field is a reserved bit if the CSI reporting related to the first object is not configured.

[0382] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second MAC CE includes N fourth fields, each of which occupies 1 bit; wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to 32.

[0383] For example, the second MAC CE includes at least 4 fourth fields and at most 32 fourth fields, each of which occupies 1 bit. Accordingly, the second MAC CE supports at most 32 activation / deactivation state indications of CSI reporting configuration of the secondary cell.

[0384] In some embodiments, the fourth field indicates that the terminal activates the first CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the fourth field if the fourth field is configured as a first value.

[0385] Alternatively, the fourth field indicates that the terminal deactivates the first CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the fourth field if the fourth field is configured as a second value.

[0386] For example, the fourth field configured as 1 indicates that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the fourth field should be activated. The fourth field configured as 0 indicates that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the fourth field should be deactivated.

[0387] The fourth field corresponds to at least one CSI reporting configuration identifier; wherein the CSI reporting configuration indicated by the CSI reporting configuration identifier includes the first CSI reporting configuration.

[0388] In some embodiments, the second MAC CE is dedicated to the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration of a specific terminal.

[0391] The fourth manner includes at least one of predefinition, pre-configuration, and semi-static signaling configuration.

[0392] Correspondingly, after the terminal receives the correspondence between the fourth field and the at least one CSI reporting configuration identifier, the terminal determines the CSI reporting configuration identifier corresponding to the fourth field according to the correspondence.

[0393] In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, the first MAC CE is also used for activation or deactivation of a secondary cell; or the second MAC CE is also used for indicating activation or deactivation of a secondary cell.

[0405] The transmission end time of the first object;

[0406] The transmission duration of the first object;

[0407] The transmission period of the first object.

[0408] In summary, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network side device sends or indicates at least one of the first CSI resource configuration and the first CSI reporting configuration to the terminal, the first CSI resource configuration includes CSI resource configuration information of the first object, and the first CSI reporting configuration includes CSI reporting configuration information of the first object; and / or, the network side device activates or deactivates the terminal to report the CSI related to the first object through the MAC CE; the terminal determines whether to report the measurement result applicable to the first object to the network side based on the received configuration and / or MAC CE, which can make the terminal report the measurement result of the first object of multiple secondary cells in one measurement report, solve the problem of reporting configuration and resource configuration of the measurement result of the first object of multiple secondary cells, and make the network side device select the appropriate secondary cell according to the received measurement result of the first object, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of secondary cell activation, and further reducing the energy consumption of the network side device.

[0409] In order to more clearly describe the signaling indication method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, several examples will be described below.

[0410] Example one

[0411] The network side device (such as a base station) indicates at least one of the first CSI resource configuration and the first CSI reporting configuration to the terminal; which is applicable to periodic, semi-persistent or aperiodic CSI reporting. The first CSI resource configuration includes CSI resource configuration information of the first object, and the first CSI reporting configuration includes CSI reporting configuration information of the first object.

[0412] Specifically, in order to determine the secondary cell that needs to be activated, the base station instructs multiple secondary cells to send on-demand SSB. The reason for sending on-demand SSB instead of normal SSB is to save energy for the base station. The terminal measures the on-demand SSB sent by the secondary cell according to the indication signaling of the measurement reporting configuration sent by the base station, and reports the measurement result of the on-demand SSB to the base station, and then the base station will select the appropriate secondary cell to be activated according to the measurement result.

[0413] As shown in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3, the CSI resource configuration indicates specific configuration information of the CSI resource that the terminal needs to measure. The CSI resource configuration must contain a CSI resource configuration identification number (i.e., CSI resource configuration #1). The CSI resource configuration contains at least one resource configuration of an on-demand SSB. In Table 1, the CSI resource configuration refers to one CSI on-demand SSB resource set list; in Table 2, the CSI resource configuration refers to one CSI on-demand SSB resource set list containing four CSI on-demand SSB resource set identification numbers; and in Table 3, the CSI resource configuration refers to four CSI on-demand SSB resource set identification numbers. The CSI resource configuration in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 can be: a CSI resource configuration dedicated to on-demand SSBs, i.e., the CSI resource configuration contains only resource configurations of on-demand SSBs and does not contain resource configurations of normal SSBs. Or: the CSI resource configuration contains both resource configurations of on-demand SSBs and resource configurations of normal SSBs.

[0414] The CSI on-demand SSB resource set and the CSI normal SSB resource set are distinguished by the CSI on-demand SSB resource set having a different name from the CSI normal SSB resource set, for example, the name of the CSI on-demand SSB resource set is CSI-on-demand-SSB-resource-set, and the name of the normal SSB resource set is CSI-SSB-resource-set. The CSI on-demand SSB resource set and the CSI normal SSB resource set are distinguished by the SSB resource identification number in the CSI on-demand SSB resource set being numbered from 64 (i.e., 64, 65, 66…), and the number of the CSI normal SSB resource set being 0-63.

[0415] Table 1

[0416] Table 2

[0417] Table 3

[0418] By way of example, the base station can indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of four on-demand SSBs through four on-demand SSB resource set index numbers in one CSI resource configuration identification number, and each on-demand SSB resource index number can correspond to the resource configuration of an on-demand SSB of a secondary cell. In this way, the base station can indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of four on-demand SSBs of four secondary cells through one CSI resource configuration identification number, thereby solving the problems of reporting configuration and resource configuration of the measurement results of multiple on-demand SSBs of secondary cells, and enabling the base station to select and activate appropriate secondary cells according to the received measurement results of on-demand SSBs, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of secondary cell activation, and further improving the data transmission rate of the first terminal and reducing the energy consumption of the base station.

[0419] Example two

[0420] The network side device (such as a base station) indicates at least one of the first CSI resource configuration and the first CSI reporting configuration to the terminal; applicable to periodic, semi-persistent or aperiodic CSI reporting. The first CSI resource configuration contains the CSI resource configuration information of the first object, and the first CSI reporting configuration contains the CSI reporting configuration information of the first object.

[0421] One CSI reporting configuration identification corresponds to the reporting configuration of multiple first objects or second objects.

[0422] Specifically, in order to determine the secondary cell that needs to be activated, the base station instructs multiple secondary cells to send on-demand SSB. The reason for sending on-demand SSB instead of normal SSB is to save energy for the base station. The terminal measures the on-demand SSB sent by the secondary cell according to the indication signaling of the measurement reporting configuration sent by the base station, and reports the measurement result of the on-demand SSB to the base station. Then, the base station will select the appropriate secondary cell to activate according to the measurement result.

[0423] As shown in Table 4, the CSI reporting configuration indicates the specific configuration information of the CSI measurement result that needs to be reported by the terminal. The CSI reporting configuration must contain the CSI reporting configuration identification (i.e., CSI reporting configuration #1). One CSI reporting configuration identification (i.e., CSI reporting configuration #1) corresponds to the reporting configuration of 4 serving cells, and the CSI reporting configuration #1 contains 4 serving cell index numbers (i.e., serving cells #1-#4). One serving cell index number corresponds to one CSI resource configuration identification (serving cell #1 corresponds to CSI resource configuration #1, and the others are similar), that is, the serving cell index number indicates which serving cell to find the CSI resource configuration indicated by the CSI resource configuration identification. Moreover, the CSI resource configurations corresponding to the 4 CSI resource configuration identifications all contain the CSI resource configuration of the on-demand SSB. The CSI resource configuration #1 can be: a CSI reporting configuration dedicated to on-demand SSB, that is, the CSI reporting configuration only contains the resource configuration of reporting SSB, and does not contain the reporting configuration of normal SSB. The CSI resource configuration #1 can also be: the CSI reporting configuration contains both the reporting configuration of on-demand SSB and the reporting configuration of normal SSB.

[0424] Table 4

[0425] With the example, the base station can indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of the four serving cells through four serving cell index numbers in a CSI reporting configuration identification number, and each CSI resource configuration identification number can correspond to the resource configuration of the on-demand SSB of one secondary cell. In this way, the base station can indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of four secondary cells through one CSI reporting configuration identification number, and solve the problems of the reporting configuration and resource configuration of the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of multiple secondary cells. The base station can select to activate a suitable secondary cell according to the received measurement results of the on-demand SSBs, so as to improve the quality and efficiency of the activation of the secondary cell, and further improve the data transmission rate of the first terminal and reduce the energy consumption of the base station.

[0426] Example Three

[0427] The network side device (such as a base station) indicates at least one configuration in a first CSI resource configuration and a first CSI reporting configuration to a terminal; the configuration is suitable for periodic, semi-persistent or aperiodic CSI reporting. The first CSI resource configuration contains CSI resource configuration information of a first object, and the first CSI reporting configuration contains CSI reporting configuration information of the first object.

[0428] A dedicated CSI reporting configuration identification number list is newly defined, and at least one CSI reporting configuration identification number is contained in one CSI reporting configuration identification number list.

[0429] Specifically, in order to determine the secondary cell to be activated, the base station instructs multiple secondary cells to send on-demand SSBs. The reason for sending on-demand SSBs instead of normal SSBs is to save energy for the base station. The terminal measures the on-demand SSBs sent by the secondary cells according to the indication signaling of the measurement reporting configuration sent by the base station, and reports the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs to the base station. Then, the base station will select to activate a suitable secondary cell according to the measurement results.

[0430] As shown in Table 5, the CSI reporting configuration indicates the specific configuration information of the CSI measurement result that the terminal needs to report. The CSI reporting configuration must contain a CSI reporting configuration list identifier (i.e., CSI reporting configuration list #1). One CSI reporting configuration list identifier (i.e., CSI reporting configuration list #1) corresponds to four CSI reporting configuration identifiers (i.e., CSI reporting configuration #1-#4). One CSI reporting configuration identifier corresponds to the reporting configuration of one serving cell, for example, the CSI reporting configuration #1 contains the index number of the serving cell 1 (i.e., serving cell #1). One serving cell index number corresponds to one CSI resource configuration identifier (serving cell #1 corresponds to CSI resource configuration #1, and the others are similar). Moreover, the CSI resource configurations corresponding to the four CSI resource configuration identifiers all contain the resource configuration of the on-demand SSB. The correspondence between the CSI reporting configuration list index number and the four CSI reporting configuration identifiers is configured by RRC signaling.

[0431] Table 5

[0432] With this example, the base station can instruct the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of four serving cells through four CSI reporting configuration identifiers in one CSI reporting configuration list. Each CSI reporting configuration identifier can correspond to the resource configuration of the on-demand SSB of one secondary cell. In this way, one CSI reporting configuration list identifier can be used to instruct the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of four secondary cells, solving the problems of reporting configuration and resource configuration of the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of multiple secondary cells. The base station can select to activate a suitable secondary cell according to the received measurement results of the on-demand SSBs, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of secondary cell activation, and further improving the data transmission rate of the first terminal and reducing the energy consumption of the base station.

[0433] Example Four

[0434] The network side device activates or deactivates the terminal to report the CSI related to the first object through the first MAC CE. At least one first field in the first MAC CE corresponds to multiple CSI reporting configuration identifiers. The first field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration.

[0435] Specifically, in order to determine the secondary cells that need to be activated, the base station instructs multiple secondary cells to send on-demand SSBs. The reason for sending on-demand SSBs instead of normal SSBs is to save energy for the base station. The terminal measures the on-demand SSBs sent by the secondary cells according to the indication signaling of the measurement reporting configuration sent by the base station, and reports the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs to the base station. Then, the base station will select to activate a suitable secondary cell according to the measurement results.

[0436] As shown in FIG. 3, the first field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration.

[0437] The first MAC CE contains four first fields (#1-#4), each of which occupies one bit, i.e., the first to fourth bits of byte 2. The first field #1 in the first MAC CE corresponds to four CSI reporting configuration identifiers (i.e., CSI reporting configurations #1-#4), i.e., the first field is configured as 1 to indicate that the four semi-persistent CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the first field should be activated. The first field is configured as 0 to indicate that the four semi-persistent CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the first field should be deactivated. The correspondence between the first field and the four CSI reporting configuration identifiers is configured in a pre-defined, pre-configured, or semi-static signaling manner, for example, the first field #1 is configured to correspond to the CSI reporting configurations #1-#4 through RRC signaling. Similarly, the first fields #2, #3, and #4 in the first MAC CE are also designed in the same way, each of which corresponds to four CSI reporting configuration identifiers (i.e., CSI reporting configurations #5-#15). In this way, the four first fields correspond to 16 CSI reporting configurations. In addition, the CSI reporting configurations corresponding to the 16 CSI reporting configuration identifiers all contain the reporting configuration of the on-demand SSB. In this way, the base station can indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB corresponding to the four CSI reporting configuration identifiers by configuring the first field #1 as 1, and the other first fields are also indicated in the same way.

[0438] With this example, the base station can indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB corresponding to 16 CSI reporting configuration identifiers through the four first fields in the first MAC CE, and each CSI reporting configuration identifier can correspond to the on-demand SSB of one secondary cell. In this way, one MAC CE can be used to indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB of 16 secondary cells at the same time, solving the reporting configuration and resource configuration problem of the measurement results of the on-demand SSB of multiple secondary cells, so that the base station can select to activate the appropriate secondary cell according to the received measurement results of the on-demand SSB, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the secondary cell activation, and further improving the data transmission rate of the terminal and reducing the energy consumption of the base station.

[0439] Example Five

[0440] The network-side device activates or deactivates the terminal to report the CSI related to the first object through the first MAC CE; at least one reserved bit in the first MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration, which is referred to as a second field.

[0441] Specifically, the base station instructs multiple secondary cells to send on-demand SSBs in order to determine the secondary cells that need to be activated. The on-demand SSBs are sent instead of normal SSBs in order to save energy for the base station. The terminal measures the on-demand SSBs sent by the secondary cells according to the indication signaling of the measurement reporting configuration sent by the base station, and reports the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs to the base station. Then, the base station selects appropriate secondary cells to be activated according to the measurement results.

[0442] As shown in FIG. 4, at least one reserved bit in the first MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration, which is referred to as a second field. The second field is configured as 1 to indicate that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the second field should be activated. The first field is configured as 0 to indicate that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the second field should be deactivated. The second field corresponds to a CSI reporting configuration identification number, or corresponds to multiple CSI reporting configuration identification numbers, or corresponds to a CSI reporting configuration identification number list index number.

[0443] With this example, the base station instructs the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs corresponding to the CSI reporting configuration identification numbers corresponding to the reserved bits in the first MAC CE, so that more measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of multiple secondary cells can be reported by the terminal through one MAC CE, solving the problems of reporting configuration and resource configuration of the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs of multiple secondary cells. The base station can select appropriate secondary cells to be activated according to the received measurement results of the on-demand SSBs, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the activation of the secondary cells, and further improving the data transmission rate of the first terminal and reducing the energy consumption of the base station.

[0444] Example Six

[0445] The network side device activates or deactivates the terminal to report the CSI related to the first object through the first MAC CE; the third field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate whether the MAC CE is applicable to the CSI reporting activation / deactivation for on-demand SSBs.

[0446] Specifically, the base station instructs multiple secondary cells to send on-demand SSBs in order to determine the secondary cells that need to be activated. The on-demand SSBs are sent instead of normal SSBs in order to save energy for the base station. The terminal measures the on-demand SSBs sent by the secondary cells according to the indication signaling of the measurement reporting configuration sent by the base station, and reports the measurement results of the on-demand SSBs to the base station. Then, the base station selects appropriate secondary cells to be activated according to the measurement results.

[0447] As shown in FIG. 5, the third field in the first MAC CE is used to indicate whether the MAC CE is applicable to CSI reporting activation / deactivation for on-demand SSB. The third field is configured as 1 to indicate that the MAC CE is applicable to CSI reporting activation / deactivation for on-demand SSB. The third field is configured as 0 to indicate that the MAC CE is not applicable to CSI reporting activation / deactivation for on-demand SSB. If the CSI reporting related to on-demand SSB is not configured, the third field is a reserved bit.

[0448] With this example, the base station indicates the terminal whether the MAC CE is applicable to CSI reporting activation / deactivation for on-demand SSB through the reserved bit in the first MAC CE, so that the terminal can be instructed to report the measurement result of on-demand SSB or the measurement result applicable to MIMO through the MAC CE, which solves the multiplexing problem of the MAC CE, enables the base station to select the appropriate secondary cell to be activated according to the received measurement result of on-demand SSB, and thus improves the quality and efficiency of secondary cell activation, and further improves the data transmission rate of the first terminal and reduces the energy consumption of the base station.

[0449] Example Seven

[0450] The network side device activates or deactivates the terminal to report the CSI related to the first object through the second MAC CE. The fourth field in the second MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration. The second MAC CE contains at least 8 fourth fields and at most 32 fourth fields. Each fourth field occupies 1 bit.

[0451] Specifically, in order to determine the secondary cell to be activated, the base station instructs multiple secondary cells to send on-demand SSB. The reason for sending on-demand SSB instead of normal SSB is to save energy for the base station. The terminal measures the on-demand SSB sent by the secondary cell according to the indication signaling of the measurement reporting configuration sent by the base station, and reports the measurement result of the on-demand SSB to the base station. Then the base station will select the appropriate secondary cell to be activated according to the measurement result.

[0452] As shown in FIG. 6, in order to more flexibly and efficiently indicate the measurement reporting configuration of the on-demand SSB of up to 32 secondary cells to the terminal, a second MAC CE is newly defined, which is dedicated to the activation of the on-demand SSB. The fourth field in the second MAC CE is used to indicate the activation / deactivation state of the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration. The second MAC CE contains at least 4 fourth fields and at most 32 fourth fields, and each fourth field occupies 1 bit. In this way, using 32 fourth fields, the second MAC CE supports the indication of the activation / deactivation state of the CSI reporting configuration of up to 32 secondary cells. The fourth field is configured as 1 to indicate that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the fourth field should be activated. The fourth field is configured as 0 to indicate that the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration corresponding to the fourth field should be deactivated. The second MAC CE is dedicated to the semi-persistent CSI reporting configuration of the R19 UE. The CSI reporting configuration corresponding to at least one CSI reporting configuration identification number in the second MAC CE contains the reporting configuration of the on-demand SSB.

[0453] With this example, the base station can indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB corresponding to 32 CSI reporting configuration identification numbers through the 32 fourth fields in the second MAC CE, and each CSI reporting configuration identification number can correspond to the on-demand SSB of one secondary cell. In this way, one MAC CE can be used to indicate the terminal to report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB of 32 secondary cells at the same time, solving the reporting configuration and resource configuration problem of the measurement results of the on-demand SSB of multiple secondary cells, so that the base station can select to activate the appropriate secondary cell according to the received measurement results of the on-demand SSB, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the activation of the secondary cell, and further improving the data transmission rate of the first terminal and reducing the energy consumption of the base station.

[0454] It should be noted that the above example one, example two or example three can be used alone and are mainly applicable to the periodic reporting of the measurement results of the on-demand SSB by the terminal; for example, the RRC signaling is configured through example one, example two or example three to configure the terminal to periodically report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB. Once the RRC signaling is issued, the terminal will periodically report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB according to the configuration of the RRC signaling. If the base station does not send the on-demand SSB when the terminal reports, some periodic reporting positions may be empty.

[0455] It should be further noted that the above "example one, example two or example three" can be used in combination with "example four, example five, example six or example seven", which is mainly applicable to the terminal semi-persistent reporting of the measurement results of the on-demand SSB. That is, first, the RRC signaling configuration is performed by "example one, example two or example three" to configure the terminal to semi-persistently report the measurement results of the on-demand SSB. Then, the terminal is activated or deactivated to semi-persistently report the on-demand SSB by the MAC CE signaling, and the specific reporting configuration identification number of the on-demand SSB is indicated by mapping in the MAC CE signaling. Once the base station sends the activation MAC CE signaling to the terminal, the terminal reports the measurement results of the on-demand SSB according to the previous RRC signaling configuration, and the terminal stops reporting the measurement results of the on-demand SSB until the terminal receives the deactivation MAC CE signaling.

[0456] As shown in FIG. 7, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a network side device, which comprises a memory 720, a transceiver 710 and a processor 700:

[0457] The memory 720 is configured to store a computer program; the transceiver 710 is configured to transceive data under the control of the processor 700; and the processor 700 is configured to read the computer program in the memory 720 and perform the following operations:

[0458] sending or indicating at least one configuration in a first channel state information (CSI) resource configuration and a first CSI reporting configuration to a terminal; the first CSI resource configuration contains CSI resource configuration information of a first object, and the first CSI reporting configuration contains CSI reporting configuration information of the first object;

[0459] and / or,
