Description

Reporting method, device and system of measurement report

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411089092.5, filed on August 8, 2024, and entitled "Reporting method, device and system of measurement report", the whole content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and more particularly, to a reporting method, device and system of measurement report. BACKGROUND

[0003] In wireless communication, in order to send and receive data, obtain system synchronization and feedback channel information, etc., reference signals are transmitted between the sending end and the receiving end. For example, the sending end sends a reference signal to the receiving end, and the receiving end receives the reference signal, and then can perform corresponding operations based on the reference signal, such as performing channel measurement and reporting a measurement report.

[0004] Currently, the reporting occasion of the measurement report is mainly determined by the network device, including periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, and aperiodic reporting, which can be referred to as reporting of traditional measurement report based on beam management. In addition, event-triggered reporting of measurement report is also introduced. Since whether the event condition is met is judged by the terminal device, and then the measurement report related to the event is sent. Therefore, if the event-triggered measurement report and the traditional measurement report based on beam management are associated with the same reporting resource, the network device may not be able to parse the received measurement report. Therefore, designing an effective reporting method of measurement report is a problem that needs to be considered at present. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a reporting method, device and system of measurement report, in order to design an effective reporting method of measurement report and reduce resource waste.

[0006] In a first aspect, a reporting method of measurement report is provided. The method can be executed by a first device. In the absence of special description, the "first device" in the present application can refer to the first device itself (for example, a terminal device), a component (for example, a communication module, a processor, a circuit, a chip, or a chip system, etc.) in the first device, or a logic module or software capable of realizing all or part of the functions of the first device.

[0093] The technical solutions in this application will be described below in combination with the drawings.

[0094] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application can be applied to various communication systems, such as a long term evolution (LTE) system, an LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) system, an LTE time division duplex (TDD), a 5G system, an NR, and a future communication system, and can also be applied to a wireless local area network (WLAN), a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) system, device to device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, machine to machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and an internet of things (IoT) communication system.

[0095] A device in a communication system can send a signal to another device or receive a signal from another device. The signal can include a reference signal, information, signaling, or data, etc. In this application, the device can be replaced by an entity, a network entity, a communication device, a communication module, a node, a communication node, an apparatus, etc.

[0096] The communication system and service scenarios described in the embodiments of this application are for more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application. It can be known by those skilled in the art that, with the evolution of network architecture and the appearance of new service scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0097] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system applicable to embodiments provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 10 includes a radio access network (RAN) 100 and a core network (CN) 200. The RAN 100 includes at least one RAN node (e.g., 110a and 110b in FIG. 1, collectively referred to as 110) and at least one terminal device (e.g., 120a-120j in FIG. 1, collectively referred to as 120). The RAN 100 can further include other RAN nodes, such as wireless relay devices and / or wireless backhaul devices (not shown in FIG. 1), etc. The terminal devices 120 are wirelessly connected to the RAN nodes 110. The RAN nodes 110 are connected to the CN 200 in a wireless or wired manner. The core network devices in the CN 200 and the RAN nodes 110 in the RAN 100 can be different physical devices, respectively, or can be the same physical device integrated with the logical functions of the core network and the logical functions of the radio access network.

[0098] The RAN 100 can be a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-related cellular system, such as a 4th generation (4G) mobile communication system, a 5th generation (5G) mobile communication system, or a future-oriented evolved system. The RAN 100 can also be an open radio access network (O-RAN or ORAN), a cloud radio access network (CRAN), or a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system. The RAN 100 can also be a communication system in which two or more of the above systems are fused.

[0099] The RAN node 110, which can also be referred to as an access network device, a RAN entity, or an access node, etc., forms part of the communication system and is configured to facilitate wireless access by terminal devices. The RAN nodes 110 in the communication system can be the same type of node or different types of nodes. In some scenarios, the roles of a RAN node 110 and a terminal device 120 are relative, e.g., a drone or a helicopter 120i in Figure 1 can be configured to move like a mobile base station, and for a terminal device 120j accessing the RAN 100 via the drone or helicopter 120i, the drone or helicopter 120i is a base station; but for the RAN node 110a, the drone or helicopter 120i is a terminal device. Both the RAN node 110 and the terminal device 120 are sometimes referred to as communication apparatuses, e.g., the RAN nodes 110a and 110b in Figure 1 can be understood as communication apparatuses with base station functionalities, and the terminal devices 120a-120j can be understood as communication apparatuses with terminal device functionalities.

[0100] In a possible scenario, the RAN node can be a base station, an evolved Node B (eNodeB), an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), a base station in future communications networks (gNodeB or gNB), a base station in mobile communication systems, or an access node in a WiFi system, etc. The RAN node can be a macro base station (e.g., 110a in Figure 1), a micro base station or an indoor station (e.g., 110b in Figure 1), a relay node or a donor node, or a wireless controller in a CRAN scenario. Optionally, the RAN node can also be a server, a wearable device, a vehicle or a vehicle-mounted device, etc. For example, an access network device in vehicle to everything (V2X) technology can be a road side unit (RSU). All or part of the functions of the RAN node in this application can also be implemented by software functions running on hardware, or by virtualized functions instantiated on a platform (e.g., a cloud platform). The RAN node can also be provided with a communication module, circuit or chip for performing corresponding communication functions, and program instructions for performing corresponding communication functions. The RAN node in this application can also be a logical node, a logical module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the RAN node.

[0101] In another possible scenario, multiple RAN nodes cooperate to assist a terminal device to implement wireless access, and different RAN nodes respectively implement part of functions of a base station. For example, a RAN node can be a central unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a CU-control plane (CU-CP), a CU-user plane (CU-UP), or a radio unit (RU), and the like. The CU and the DU can be separately arranged, or can be included in the same network element, for example, in a baseband unit (BBU). The RU can be included in a radio frequency device or a radio frequency unit, for example, in a remote radio unit (RRU), an active antenna processing unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH).

[0102] In different systems, the CU (including an open CU-CP (O-CU-CP) and an open CU-UP (O-CU-UP), a DU, or an RU can also have different names, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings. For example, in an ORAN system, the CU can also be referred to as an open central unit (O-CU), the DU can also be referred to as an open distributed unit (O-DU), the CU-CP can also be referred to as an O-CU-CP, the CU-UP can also be referred to as an O-CU-UP, and the RU can also be referred to as an open radio unit (O-RU). For the convenience of description, the CU, the CU-CP, the CU-UP, the DU, and the RU are taken as examples for description in this application. Any one of the CU (or the CU-CP, the CU-UP), the DU, and the RU in this application can be implemented by a software module, a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

[0103] The CU and the DU can be configured according to protocol layer functions of a wireless network in which they are implemented. For example, the CU is configured to implement functions of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer and above protocol layers (e.g., a radio resource control (RRC) layer and / or a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, etc.). The DU is configured to implement functions of a PDCP layer and below protocol layers (e.g., a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and / or a physical (PHY) layer, etc.). For another example, the CU is configured to implement functions of a PDCP layer and above protocol layers (e.g., an RRC layer and / or an SDAP layer), and the DU is configured to implement functions of a PDCP layer and below protocol layers (e.g., an RLC layer, a MAC layer, and / or a PHY layer, etc.).

[0104] When the CU includes a CU-CP and a CU-UP, the CU-CP is configured to implement control plane functions of the CU, and the CU-UP is configured to implement user plane functions of the CU. For example, when the CU is configured to implement functions of a PDCP layer, an RRC layer, and an SDAP layer, the CU-CP is configured to implement RRC layer functions and control plane functions of the PDCP layer, and the CU-UP is configured to implement SDAP layer functions and user plane functions of the PDCP layer.

[0105] The CU-CP can interact with a network element in a core network configured to implement control plane functions. The network element in the core network configured to implement control plane functions can be an access and mobility function network element, such as an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element in a 5G system. The AMF network element is configured to be responsible for mobility management in a mobile network, such as location updating of a terminal device, registration of the terminal device to a network, handover of the terminal device, etc.

[0106] The CU-UP can interact with a network element in a core network configured to implement user plane functions. The network element in the core network configured to implement user plane functions can be a user plane function (UPF) network element in a 5G system, which is configured to be responsible for forwarding and receiving data in a terminal device.

[0107] The above configuration of the CU and the DU is only an example given for ease of understanding, and the CU and the DU can be configured to have functions as needed. For example, the CU or the DU can be configured to have functions of more protocol layers, or the CU or the DU can be configured to have partial processing functions of the protocol layers. For example, partial functions of the RLC layer and functions of protocol layers above the RLC layer are arranged in the CU, and the remaining functions of the RLC layer and functions of protocol layers below the RLC layer are arranged in the DU. For another example, the functions of the CU or the DU can be divided according to a service type or other system requirements, for example, according to a delay requirement, functions that require a shorter processing time to meet the delay requirement are arranged in the DU, and functions that do not require the delay requirement are arranged in the CU.

[0108] The DU and the RU can cooperate to jointly implement the functions of the PHY layer. One DU can be connected to one or more RUs. The functions of the DU and the RU can be configured in various ways according to design. For example, the DU is configured to implement baseband functions, and the RU is configured to implement intermediate radio frequency functions. For another example, the DU is configured to implement high-layer functions in the PHY layer, and the RU is configured to implement low-layer functions in the PHY layer or to implement the low-layer functions and radio frequency functions. The high-layer functions in the PHY layer can include a part of the functions of the PHY layer that are closer to the MAC layer, and the low-layer functions in the PHY layer can include another part of the functions of the PHY layer that are closer to the intermediate radio frequency side.

[0109] The terminal device 120 can be a device or module with corresponding communication functions for accessing the above communication system. The terminal device can also be referred to as a terminal device, a user equipment (UE), a mobile station, or a mobile terminal device, etc. The terminal device can be widely applied to various scenarios, such as device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle to everything (V2X) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), internet of things (IOT), virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial control, autonomous driving, remote medical treatment, smart power grid, smart furniture, smart office, smart wear, smart transportation, smart city, etc. The terminal device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a wearable device, a vehicle, a drone, a helicopter, an airplane, a ship, a robot, a mechanical arm, a smart home device, a transport vehicle with wireless communication function, a communication module, etc. Embodiments of the present application do not limit the device form of the terminal device. The terminal device is usually provided with a communication module, circuit or chip for executing corresponding communication functions. The terminal device is also configured with program instructions for executing corresponding communication functions.

[0110] For example, the terminal device in the embodiments of the present application can be a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA) computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer (Pad), a drone, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a machine type communication (MTC) terminal device, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, an internet of things (IoT) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical, a wireless terminal device in smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in smart city, a wireless terminal device in smart home (such as game consoles, smart televisions, smart speakers, smart refrigerators and fitness equipment, etc.), a transport vehicle with wireless communication function, a communication module, a roadside unit (RSU) with terminal device function.

[0111] The RAN 100 and the terminal device 120 can be deployed on land, including indoor or outdoor, handheld or vehicle-mounted; can also be deployed on the water surface; can also be deployed on airplanes, balloons and satellites in the air. The scene where the RAN 100 and the terminal device 120 are located is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0112] The CN 200 can be a 5G core network, an evolved 5G core network, or a future communication network. Taking the 5G core network as an example, the CN 200 includes an AMF network element responsible for mobility management, access management, and the like, a session management function (SMF) network element responsible for session management, a user plane function (UPF) network element responsible for user plane routing and forwarding and quality of service (QoS) control, a policy control function (PCF) network element, and the like. The above core network elements can work independently or can be combined together to implement certain control functions, for example, the AMF, the SMF, and the PCF can be combined together as a core network device.

[0113] Optionally, the CN 200 and / or the RAN 100 can be connected to the Internet 300 for information interaction.

[0114] It should be understood that the above naming is only defined for the purpose of distinguishing different functions and should not constitute any limitation on the present application. The present application does not exclude the possibility of using other names in the 5G network and other future networks. For example, in future communication networks, part or all of the above network elements can continue to use the terms in 5G, or other names can be used.

[0115] It can be understood that FIG. 1 is only an example given for the purpose of understanding and does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. The measurement reporting method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also involve network elements not shown in FIG. 1, and of course the measurement reporting method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also only include part of the network elements shown in FIG. 1.

[0116] FIG. 2 is another schematic diagram of a wireless communication system suitable for embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the wireless communication system can include a core network device, an access network device (such as a RAN), and a terminal device. The access network device communicates with the core network device through a backhaul and communicates with the terminal device through an air interface. For example, the BBU in the access network device communicates with the core network through the backhaul, and the RU in the access network device communicates with the terminal device through the air interface. The BBU can communicate with the RU through a front haul, and the BBU and the RU can be co-located or not. In some deployments, the BBU includes at least one CU and at least one DU, and the CU and the DU can communicate through a midhaul.

[0117] The above FIG. 2 is only a schematic diagram given for the purpose of understanding, and other devices can also be included in the wireless communication system, which are not shown in FIG. 2.

[0118] For the convenience of understanding the technical solutions of the present application, some related technologies involved in the present application are introduced.

[0119] 1、beam: a kind of communication resource. Different beams can be considered as different resources. The same information or different information can be transmitted through different beams.

[0120] The embodiment of beam in NR protocol can be spatial domain filter, or spatial filter or spatial parameter, or spatial domain parameter, or spatial parameter, or spatial domain setting, or spatial setting, or quasi-co-location (QCL) information, QCL assumption, QCL indication, etc. Beam can be indicated by transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state parameter or spatial relation parameter. Therefore, in the present application, beam can be replaced by spatial domain filter, spatial filter, spatial domain parameter, spatial parameter, spatial domain setting, spatial setting, QCL information, QCL assumption, QCL indication, TCI-state, spatial relation, etc. The above terms are also equivalent to each other. Beam can also be replaced by other terms representing beam, which is not limited in the present application.

[0121] The beam used for transmitting a signal can be referred to as a transmission beam (Tx beam), a spatial domain transmission filter, a spatial transmission filter, a spatial domain transmission parameter or a spatial transmission parameter, a spatial domain transmission setting or a spatial transmission setting. The downlink transmission beam can be indicated by a TCI-state. The transmission beam can also be referred to as a downlink beam. In this application, the transmission beam, the downlink beam, the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), the TCI state, the downlink / joint transmission configuration indication state (DL or joint TCI state), the synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SS / PBCH block, which can be referred to as SSB) and the phase-tracking reference signal (PT-RS) can be replaced with each other.

[0122] A beam for receiving a signal can be referred to as a reception beam (Rx beam), a spatial domain reception filter, a spatial reception filter, a spatial domain reception parameter or a spatial reception parameter, a spatial domain reception setting or a spatial reception setting. An uplink transmission beam can be indicated by a spatial relation, or an uplink TCI-state, or a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource (indicating a transmission beam using the SRS). Therefore, an uplink beam, an SRS resource, an uplink TCI-state can be replaced with each other. A reception beam can also be referred to as an uplink beam. In this application, a reception beam, an uplink beam, an uplink transmission configuration indication state (UL TCI state), a DL or joint TCI state, a sounding reference signal (SRS), a CSI-RS, an SSB, and a tracking reference signal (TRS) can be replaced with each other.

[0123] A transmission beam can refer to a distribution of signal strength in different directions in space after a signal is transmitted by an antenna, and a reception beam can refer to a distribution of signal strength in different directions in space of a wireless signal received by an antenna.

[0124] In addition, a beam can be a wide beam, or a narrow beam, or other types of beams. The technology for forming a beam can be beamforming technology or other technology. The beamforming technology can be digital beamforming technology, analog beamforming technology, or hybrid digital / analog beamforming technology, etc.

[0125] As an example, multiple beams with the same or similar communication characteristics can be considered as one beam.

[0126] A beam is generally associated with a resource, for example, when performing beam measurement, the network device measures different beams through different resources, and the terminal device feeds back the measured resource quality, so that the network device knows the quality of the corresponding beam.

[0127] Optionally, multiple beams with the same or similar communication characteristics are regarded as one beam. One beam can include one or more antenna ports for transmitting data channels, control channels, sounding signals, etc. One or more antenna ports forming one beam can also be regarded as one antenna port set.

[0128] 2. Reference signal (RS): can also be referred to as pilot, reference sequence, reference signal, etc. For the sake of unity, reference signal is used in the following description. The reference signal can be used for channel measurement or channel estimation, etc.

[0129] The channel measurement involved in the present application also includes beam measurement, i.e. obtaining beam quality information by measuring the reference signal. As an example, the parameters used to measure the beam quality include at least one of the following: reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ), signal-noise ratio (SNR), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) (or can be simply referred to as signal to interference ratio). In the embodiments of the present application, for the sake of convenience, the channel measurement involved can be regarded as beam measurement unless otherwise specified.

[0130] As an example, the reference signal involved in the present application can be any of the following: CSI-RS, synchronization signal block (SSB), sounding reference signal (SRS), user equipment specific reference signal (US-RS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS), phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS), cell reference signal (CRS), etc. It should be understood that the reference signals listed above are only examples and should not constitute any limitation on the present application. The present application does not exclude the possibility of defining other reference signals in future protocols to achieve the same or similar functions.

[0131] In addition, the reference signal can be understood as a reference signal associated with a handover candidate cell configuration. The handover candidate cell can also be referred to as a candidate cell or a neighbor cell, which can be a current serving cell or a non-serving cell, and has a physical cell identifier (PCI) different from a current primary cell (PCell). In addition, the reference signal can also be a reference signal associated with an additional PCI, i.e., a reference signal of a neighbor cell.

[0132] The terminal device can be configured with one or more configurations of candidate cells, and each configuration of a candidate cell can include a configuration of a reference signal resource.

[0133] 3. Reference signal resource: used to configure the transmission attributes of a reference signal.

[0134] Generally, a reference signal is configured in the form of a resource. The network device can configure each reference signal in the form of a resource to the terminal device, and one resource is one configuration information unit, which usually includes a parameter related to a reference signal, such as the time-frequency resource position of the reference signal, the number of ports, the time domain type (periodic / semi-static / non-periodic), etc. The terminal device can send a reference signal based on a reference signal resource, and the receiving terminal device can receive a reference signal based on a reference signal resource.

[0135] In order to distinguish different reference signal resources, each reference signal resource can correspond to a reference signal resource identifier, such as a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI), an SS / PBCH block resource indicator (SSBRI), and an SRS resource indicator (SRI).

[0136] 4. TCI-state: The network device can generate different beams pointing to different transmission directions. In downlink data transmission, when the network device uses a specific beam to send data to the terminal device, it needs to inform the terminal device of the information of the sending beam it uses, so that the terminal device can use the receiving beam corresponding to the sending beam to receive the data sent by the network device. One possible way is that the network device indicates the relevant information of the sending beam it uses to the terminal device through the transmission configuration indication (TCI) field in the downlink control information (DCI).

[0137] For example, the TCI field size is 3 bits, which can represent 8 different field values (codepoints). Each value of the TCI field corresponds to an index of a TCI-state (tci-StateId), which can uniquely identify a TCI-state. A TCI-state includes several parameters by which the relevant information of the transmission beam can be determined. As an example, each TCI-state includes its own index tci-StateId, and two QCL information (QCL-Info). Each QCL-Info includes a cell field and a bandwidth part (BWP) identifier (ID), which respectively represent which BWP of which cell (i.e., different cells or different BWPs of the same cell) the TCI-state applies to. The QCL-Info can also include a reference signal (RS) indicating which reference signal resource forms a QCL relationship. In data transmission and channel measurement, a beam can correspond to a reference signal resource, such as one beam corresponding to one reference signal resource. Therefore, which reference signal resource forms a QCL relationship can also mean which beam forms a QCL relationship.

[0138] The QCL relationship means that two reference signal resources (or two antenna ports, antenna ports and reference signal resources are also one-to-one corresponding) have certain same spatial parameters. Which spatial parameters are the same can depend on the type of the QCL-Info, i.e., another field of the QCL-Info, qcl-Type. The qcl-Type can have four values {type A, type B, type C, type D}. Taking type D as an example, type D means that the two reference signal resources have the same spatial reception parameter information, i.e., the two beams have the same receiving beam. One of the two QCL-Info included in the TCI-state can be type D.

[0139] The following is a specific example to illustrate how the network device indicates the receiving beam information of the data transmission beam to a terminal device through the TCI-state, including the configuration, activation and indication of the TCI-state.

[0140] TCI-state configuration: the network device configures multiple TCI-states to the terminal device through RRC signaling. These TCI-states all include a QCL-Info of type D. The network device can also configure TCI-states that do not include QCL-info of type D, which is not limited.

[0141] TCI-state activation: after the network device configures multiple TCI-states, it also needs to activate 8 of them through medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC CE). These 8 TCI-states are one-to-one corresponding to the 8 values of the TCI field in the DCI. That is, which 8 TCI-states correspond to the 8 values of the TCI field in the DCI is determined through MAC CE signaling. The specific format of the MAC CE signaling can refer to the protocol, which is not limited.

[0142] TCI-state indication: the network device indicates a specific TCI-state through the TCI field in the DCI. For example, the value of the TCI field in the DCI sent by the network device to the terminal device is 000, indicating that the data transmission beam adopts the TCI-state corresponding to 000. The reference signal contained in the QCL-Info of type D in this TCI-state is the reference signal (such as CSI-RS) with index #1, indicating that the receiving beam corresponding to the data transmission beam is the same as the receiving beam corresponding to the CSI-RS with index #1. The receiving beam corresponding to the CSI-RS with index #1 can be determined through the beam measurement process and is known to the terminal device. Therefore, through the specific value of the TCI field, the terminal device can determine the receiving beam corresponding to the data transmission beam, and thus adopt the corresponding receiving beam to receive data.

[0143] 5、Unified TCI: A unified beam indication framework, the network device can indicate a beam for the terminal device, which is used for multiple channels and / or reference signals at the same time. The common beam can be an uplink common beam, a downlink common beam, or an uplink-downlink common beam, which can be used by the terminal device in subsequent transmission. That is, the network device can indicate an uplink common beam for the terminal device, which is used for the transmission of multiple uplink channels and / or uplink reference signals. It can also indicate a downlink common beam for the terminal device, which is used for the transmission of multiple downlink channels and / or downlink reference signals. It can also indicate an uplink-downlink common beam for the terminal device, which is used for the transmission of multiple uplink channels and / or uplink reference signals, and multiple downlink channels and / or downlink reference signals. That is, the uplink-downlink common beam can be used for both uplink transmission and downlink transmission.

[0144] As an example, the terminal device can be configured with two types of TCI-state, respectively referred to as downlink (DL) or joint TCI (DL or joint TCI) and uplink (UL) TCI (UL TCI).

[0145] For example, the terminal device is simultaneously configured with joint / DL TCI-state (such as a maximum of 128) and uplink TCI-state (UL TCI-state) (such as a maximum of 64).

[0146] For another example, in the configuration of the serving cell configuration (serving cell config) of the RRC signaling, the network device can configure the TCI mode currently used by the UE to be a joint mode or a separate mode. In the joint mode, indicating a joint TCI-state can be used for uplink and downlink transmission at the same time; in the separate mode, the network device indicates that the DL TCI-state and the UL TCI-state are used for uplink and downlink transmission, respectively.

[0147] When the terminal device receives the TCI-state activation signaling indicated by the MAC CE, the activation signaling includes the ID of the TCI-state, the terminal device determines which TCI is activated by the MAC CE according to the RRC configuration.

[0148] 6. Physical uplink control channel (PUCCH): can be used to transmit uplink control information (UCI) to support uplink and downlink data transmission. Of course, UCI can also be transmitted on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

[0149] As an example, the UCI carried by the PUCCH includes at least one of the following: scheduling request (SR), hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) information, channel state information reference signal (CSI).

[0150] Among them, the scheduling request can be used for uplink resource request.

[0151] Among them, the HARQ-ACK information (HARQ-ACK information) can also be referred to as HARQ information, which can represent feedback information for data (such as data on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)), which can be an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NACK).

[0152] Among them, the CSI can include at least one of the following: channel quality indicator (CQI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI), rank indicator (RI), CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI), layer indicator (LI), RSRP or SINR, etc. The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio can also be referred to as the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio.

[0153] As an example, PUCCH formats include the following: PUCCH format 0, PUCCH format 1, PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, PUCCH format 4. Among them, PUCCH format 0 and PUCCH format 1 can also be referred to as short PUCCH, occupying 1-2 time domain units (such as symbols); PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, PUCCH format 4 can also be referred to as long PUCCH, occupying 4-14 time domain units (such as symbols).

[0154] 7. Beam management: for example, including beam measurement, such as measuring based on reference signals, determining a better quality beam.

[0155] 5G can use high-frequency communication, that is, use ultra-high frequency band to transmit data. One of the main problems of high-frequency communication is that the signal energy decreases sharply with the transmission distance, resulting in short signal transmission distance. In order to overcome this problem, high-frequency communication uses analog beam technology, which concentrates signal energy in a small angular range by weighting processing of antenna array, forming a signal similar to a light beam (called analog beam, short for beam), thereby improving the transmission distance. Both network devices and terminal devices use beams for transmission. Specifically, the network device and the terminal device use a specific beam when performing uplink and downlink data transmission. At present, beam management is first based on SSB for beam coarse alignment, and then based on CSI-RS for beam fine adjustment. The possible process of beam management will be introduced below in combination with FIG. 3.

[0156] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of beam management suitable for embodiments of the present application.

[0157] As an example, the overall process of beam management can be divided into the following three stages.

[0158] Stage 1: Network device and terminal device beam coarse alignment, as shown in FIG. 3(a).

[0159] Specifically, the network device performs network device beam scanning based on SSB, that is, the network device sends beams in different directions at different times to complete the broadcast beam coverage of the cell. At the same time, the terminal device scans the receiving beam, that is, the terminal device also receives with different beams at different times. The terminal device determines the good network device beam and terminal device beam according to the received signal strength.

[0160] Stage 2: Network device beam fine adjustment, as shown in FIG. 3(b).

[0161] Specifically, the network device determines the candidate beams according to the network device beams with good quality obtained in stage 1, scans through the CSI-RS, and the terminal device receives with the receiving beam selected in stage 1, thereby fine-tuning the network device beams, and determining the network device beams (such as the network device beams with good quality).

[0162] Stage 3: terminal device beam fine-tuning, as shown in FIG. 3(c).

[0163] Specifically, the network device sends the CSI-RS using the beams obtained in stage 2, and the terminal device scans the beams, thereby determining the terminal device beams (such as the terminal device beams with good quality), and completing the beam alignment. The flow is similar to stage 2.

[0164] Among them, stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 are only examples for illustration, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. In implementation, one system also does not necessarily implement all the above processes, for example, only stages 1 and 2 processes can be implemented, and the determination of the receiving beam on the terminal device side is left to the terminal device to implement.

[0165] 8, reporting of measurement report: at present, according to the time domain configuration behavior of reporting, the network device can configure three kinds of measurement report (also called beam report, or beam measurement result report, or CSI report, or traditional CSI report based on beam management, or non-event triggered report) flow: periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, and aperiodic reporting. The semi-persistent reporting is also called semi-static reporting.

[0166] Periodic reporting: the network device sends reference signal resource configuration information to the terminal device. The reference signal resource configuration information includes periodic reference signal resources. The network device configures the terminal device to periodically measure the reference signal. The terminal device can measure the reference signal based on the reference signal resource configuration information, and periodically report the measurement result. Optionally, the measurement result obtained for the terminal device to periodically measure the reference signal can be carried on the PUCCH resource.

[0167] Semi-persistent reporting: the terminal device measures the reference signal periodically, but reports the measurement result in a semi-persistent manner. In one possible implementation, the network device sends reference signal resource configuration information to the terminal device. The reference signal resource configuration information includes periodic reference signal resources. The network device configures the terminal device to measure the reference signal periodically. When the terminal device receives the activation signaling (e.g., MAC CE or DCI) from the network device, the terminal device can continuously report the measurement result. Of course, the network device can also send a deactivation instruction to the terminal device, thereby deactivating the semi-persistent reporting process of the terminal device. In another possible implementation, both the measurement of the reference signal and the reporting of the measurement result are semi-persistent. When the terminal device receives the activation signaling from the network device, the terminal device continuously measures the reference signal and reports the measurement result. When the terminal device receives the deactivation instruction from the network device, the terminal device stops reporting the measurement result. In addition, the measurement result can be carried on a PUCCH resource or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource.

[0168] Non-periodic reporting: when the terminal device receives a trigger instruction from the network device, the terminal device measures the reference signal and reports the measurement result. After completing the reporting, the terminal device stops reporting the measurement result. Optionally, the reference signal can be a periodic reference signal, a semi-persistent reference signal, or a non-periodic reference signal. Optionally, the measurement result is carried on a PUSCH resource.

[0169] 9. Reference signal associated with the TCI state: The reference signal associated with the TCI state can be a QCL Type D reference signal of the TCI state, or a reference signal associated with the QCL Type D reference signal of the TCI state. The QCL Type D reference signal of the TCI state is a reference signal of the TCI state whose qcl-Type in QCL-info is type D. The reference signal associated with the QCL Type D reference signal of the TCI state is an SSB having a QCL relationship with the QCL Type D reference signal. The SSB is an SSB corresponding to a source QCL resource of a QCL chain. That is, the source QCL resource is an SSB resource. The QCL chain is determined according to the QCL Type D reference signal of the TCI state. For example, the network device indicates a QCL resource of the TCI state as a CSI-RS resource. The QCL resource in the TCI state corresponding to the CSI-RS resource is a TRS resource. The TCI state corresponding to the CSI-RS resource can be understood as a TCI state adopted by the network device for transmitting the CSI-RS resource, or a TCI state adopted by the network device for transmitting a CSI-RS corresponding to the CSI-RS. The QCL resource in the TCI state corresponding to the TRS resource is an SSB resource. The TCI state corresponding to the TRS resource can be understood as a TCI state adopted by the network device for transmitting the TRS resource, or a TCI state adopted by the network device for transmitting a TRS corresponding to the TRS. As can be seen, the QCL resource in the TCI state indicated by the network device for the terminal device (such as the CSI-RS resource), the QCL resource in the TCI state corresponding to the CSI-RS resource (such as the TRS resource), and the QCL resource in the TCI state corresponding to the TRS resource (such as the SSB resource) form a QCL chain. The source QCL resource of the QCL chain is an SSB resource, and therefore the reference signal associated with the QCL Type D reference signal of the TCI state is an SSB corresponding to the SSB resource.

[0170] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a component carrier (CC). In a current communication system, the frequency domain resources that can be transmitted are defined on a CC. As shown in FIG. 4, the middle part of the CC is the available frequency domain resources, for example, including 21 resource blocks (RBs). The shaded part is an activated RB, and therefore the transceiver device can perform information interaction on the resources corresponding to the shaded part. The two sides of the CC are guard bands (GBs), which are used to separate the carriers of other frequency bands to prevent mutual interference between adjacent channels. Alternatively, the bandwidths of the GBs on the two sides can be the same or different. In addition, the RBs where the GBs on the edges of the CC are located cannot be used.

[0171] It should be noted that the three descriptions of TCI state, TCI-state and TCI state can be replaced with each other.

[0172] The above description of the terms is only for the convenience of understanding and does not limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0173] In the above measurement result reporting, either periodic, or semi-persistent or aperiodic reporting triggered by the network device issuing indication signaling, that is, the reporting occasion is determined by the network device. This way leads to a large overhead of uplink resources. In addition, currently, event-triggered channel state information reporting (CSI report) is supported, and the reporting content corresponding to different events may be different, and cross-cell event-triggered reporting is also supported. Since whether the event condition is met is judged by the terminal device, and then the event-related measurement report is sent. Therefore, if the event-triggered reporting and the non-event-triggered reporting are associated with the same reporting resource, the network device cannot know which of the received measurement reports are event-triggered reporting and which are traditional CSI reporting, and thus cannot parse the received CSI report.

[0174] Therefore, the present application provides a measurement report reporting method and device, so that the network device can parse the measurement report received through the same reporting resource, and resource waste can be avoided.

[0175] The measurement report reporting method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which can be applied to the communication system shown in FIG. 1. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the scenario of communication between the sending end and the receiving end.

[0176] It should also be understood that the embodiments shown below do not particularly limit the specific structure of the subject performing the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, as long as it can communicate according to the method provided by the embodiments of the present application by running the code or program recording the method provided by the embodiments of the present application. For example, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be performed by the first device and the second device. In the case of no special description, the "first device" in the present application can refer to the first device itself (for example, a terminal device), a component in the first device (for example, a communication module, a processor, a circuit, a chip (such as a modem chip, also known as a baseband chip, or a SoC chip or SIP chip containing a modem core), or a chip system, etc.), or a logic module or software capable of realizing all or part of the functions of the first device. The "second device" in the present application can refer to the second device itself (for example, a network device), a component in the second device (for example, a communication module, a processor, a circuit, a chip, or a logic module or software capable of realizing all or part of the functions of the second device.

[0177] FIG. 5 is a flow diagram of a method for reporting measurement reports according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the method 500 includes the following steps.

[0178] S510, the first device (e.g., a terminal device) performs measurement based on a reference signal to obtain X measurement reports, where X is an integer greater than or equal to 1, or X is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0179] As an example, the first device receives one or more reference signals sent by the second device (e.g., a network device), and performs measurement (e.g., beam measurement, channel measurement, etc.) based on the one or more reference signals to obtain one or more measurement results, and the X measurement reports include the one or more measurement results. The one or more measurement results correspond to the one or more reference signals, for example, the first device performs measurement based on one reference signal to obtain one measurement result, or the first device performs measurement based on one reference signal to obtain multiple measurement results, or the first device performs measurement based on multiple reference signals to obtain one measurement result, or the first device performs measurement based on multiple reference signals to obtain multiple measurement results, without limitation. Optionally, if X = 1, then one measurement report includes one or more measurement results; if X > 1, then multiple measurement reports include one or more measurement results. The specific implementation of receiving reference signals and channel measurement can refer to the related description of the existing scheme, and for the sake of brevity, it is not described here.

[0180] Exemplarily, the X measurement reports include M first measurement reports and N second measurement reports, the first measurement reports are triggered in an event-triggered reporting manner, the second measurement reports are triggered in a non-event-triggered reporting manner, and M and N are integers greater than or equal to 0. It can be understood that M+N=X, that is, the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device include M event-triggered measurement reports and N non-event-triggered measurement reports. Generally, at least one of M and N is not 0, for example, both M and N are not 0, or M is 0, or N is 0. For example, M=0 and N=X, which indicates that the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device are all non-event-triggered measurement reports, for example, measurement reports in at least one of periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, or aperiodic reporting; for another example, N=0 and M=X, which indicates that the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device are all event-triggered measurement reports; for yet another example, M and N are integers not equal to 0, which indicates that the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device include M event-triggered measurement reports and N non-event-triggered measurement reports. As an example, X=4, M=1, and N=3, which indicates that the terminal device reports 4 measurement reports, including 1 event-triggered measurement report and 3 non-event-triggered measurement reports.

[0181] The event-triggered reporting is also referred to as CSI reporting associated with a special event-triggered information element configuration, exemplarily, the special event-triggered information element can be L1-EventTriggered-CSI-ReportConfig, which is not limited here, or the reporting corresponding to the CSI-ReportConfig, the CSI-ReportConfig includes an indication information (for example, reportConfigType is configured as EventTriggered), which is used to indicate that the report configuration is an event-triggered configuration, or the CSI-ReportConfig includes event-related information, such as event index, threshold corresponding to the event, and the like, which indicates that the report configuration is an event-triggered configuration. The naming thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Alternatively, the event-triggered reporting can also be CSI reporting including event information. Alternatively, the event-triggered reporting can also be CSI reporting initiated by the terminal device, or the terminal device performs measurement based on the reference signal associated with the event, and then obtains measurement results related to the event, and initiates reporting when the measurement results meet the event condition. The naming thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0182] Optionally, the event-triggered reporting can include one or more reporting modes, such as event-triggered reporting based on a first mode and / or event-triggered reporting based on a second mode. The event-triggered reporting based on the first mode is also referred to as event-triggered reporting through Mode A, and the event-triggered reporting based on the second mode is also referred to as event-triggered reporting through Mode B. The specific implementation manners are shown below, and the naming thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0183] Optionally, the event-triggered reporting based on the first mode can include one or more reporting types, such as event-triggered reporting through PUSCH based on the first mode and / or event-triggered reporting through PUCCH based on the first mode, and the naming thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0184] Optionally, the event-triggered reporting based on the second mode can include one or more reporting types, such as event-triggered reporting through PUSCH based on the second mode and / or event-triggered reporting through PUCCH based on the second mode, and the naming thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0185] In the present application, the CSI reporting can also be referred to as one or more of CSI report, CSI measurement report, beam reporting, beam measurement report, measurement report, beam report, beam measurement result reporting, measurement result reporting, i.e., the foregoing statements can be replaced with each other.

[0186] In the present application, the event-triggered reporting can also be referred to as one or more of event-triggered CSI reporting, event-triggered CSI measurement report, event-triggered beam reporting, event-triggered beam measurement report, event-triggered measurement report, event-triggered beam report, event-triggered beam measurement result reporting, event-triggered measurement result reporting, or event-triggered interference measurement reporting, i.e., the foregoing statements can be replaced with each other. The event-triggered can be replaced with UE initiated.

[0187] In the present application, the non-event-triggered reporting is also referred to as traditional CSI reporting, or CSI-ReportConfig configured CSI reporting, or network device triggered or configured CSI reporting, or LTM-CSI-ReportConfig configured CSI reporting without event information, or CSI-ReportConfig configured CSI reporting without event related information, or CSI reporting without event information, and the naming thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0188] Optionally, the reporting mode of the non-event triggered reporting includes: aperiodic CSI reporting through a PUSCH, semi-persistent CSI reporting through a PUSCH, semi-persistent CSI reporting through a PUCCH, and periodic CSI reporting through a PUCCH.

[0189] In this application, the non-event triggered reporting can also be referred to as one or more of the following: non-event triggered CSI reporting, non-event triggered CSI measurement reporting, non-event triggered beam reporting, non-event triggered beam measurement reporting, non-event triggered measurement reporting, non-event triggered beam reporting, non-event triggered beam measurement result reporting, non-event triggered measurement result reporting, or non-event triggered interference measurement reporting, that is, the aforementioned statements can be replaced with each other.

[0190] In the event triggered reporting based on the first mode, the steps performed by the terminal device and the network device are as follows.

[0191] Step 1: The terminal device sends first uplink signaling to the network device;

[0192] Correspondingly, the network device receives the first uplink signaling from the terminal device;

[0193] The first uplink signaling is used to request the network device to schedule the second uplink signaling. Illustratively, the first uplink signaling is sent through a first uplink resource. The first uplink signaling can be UCI signaling or MAC CE signaling. The first uplink resource can be a PUCCH resource or a PUSCH resource, or a scheduling request resource or a reporting indication resource. The first uplink resource is used to carry the first uplink signaling, which is used to request the network device to schedule the second uplink signaling, or in other words, to indicate to the network device that the event triggered measurement result needs to be reported, or in other words, to indicate that an event occurs, or to request the network device to schedule the uplink resource to carry the event triggered measurement result, which is not limited here.

[0194] Step 2: The network device sends scheduling signaling (i.e., an example of the first scheduling signaling) to the terminal device;

[0195] Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the scheduling signaling from the network device;

[0196] Illustratively, the network device sends the scheduling signaling to the terminal device according to the first uplink signaling, and the scheduling signaling is used to schedule the transmission of the second uplink signaling. Illustratively, the scheduling signaling can be a DCI, which is used to schedule a reporting resource to carry the second uplink signaling, for example, the DCI is used to schedule a PUSCH, or the DCI is used to schedule a PUCCH. For example, the DCI is used to indicate the index of a PUCCH.

[0197] Step 3: The terminal device sends second uplink signaling to the network device;

[0198] Correspondingly, the network device receives the second uplink signaling from the terminal device.

[0199] The second uplink signaling is used to carry event-related measurement reporting or event-triggered measurement reporting. For example, the second uplink signaling is carried in PUSCH or PUCCH, i.e., the reporting resource scheduled by the aforementioned scheduling signaling. The terminal device determines the reporting resource of the second uplink signaling according to the scheduling signaling, and sends the second uplink signaling on the reporting resource.

[0200] Optionally, the reporting resource can also be any one of PUCCH resource, PUSCH resource, event-triggered reporting resource, or UE-triggered reporting resource, event-triggered second channel resource, UE-triggered beam reporting resource, or event-triggered beam reporting resource, event-triggered second uplink resource, dynamically scheduled PUSCH resource, aperiodic PUSCH resource, semi-persistent PUCCH resource, and semi-persistent PUSCH resource, without limitation.

[0201] It should be noted that the event-triggered reporting based on the first mode through PUSCH can be understood as that the second uplink signaling in step 2 is carried in the PUSCH resource; and the event-triggered reporting based on the first mode through PUCCH can be understood as that the second uplink signaling in step 2 is carried in the PUCCH resource.

[0202] In the event-triggered reporting based on the second mode, the terminal device and the network device perform the following steps.

[0203] Step 1: The terminal device sends first uplink signaling to the network device;

[0204] Correspondingly, the network device receives the first uplink signaling from the terminal device.

[0205] The first uplink signaling is used to inform the network device that the terminal device will carry event-related measurement reporting or event-triggered measurement reporting through second uplink signaling. For example, the first uplink signaling is sent through first uplink resource. The first uplink signaling can be UCI signaling or MAC CE signaling. The first uplink resource can be PUCCH resource or PUSCH resource, or scheduling request resource or reporting indication resource. The first uplink resource is used to carry the first uplink signaling, which is used to indicate to the network device that event-triggered measurement result needs to be reported, or in other words, to indicate that an event occurs.

[0206] Step 2: The terminal device sends second uplink signaling to the network device;

[0207] Correspondingly, the network device receives the second uplink signaling from the terminal device.

[0208] The second uplink signaling is used to carry event-related measurement reporting. For example, the second uplink signaling is sent through a second uplink resource. The second uplink resource can be a pre-configured PUCCH or PUSCH resource, such as a pre-configured grant PUSCH (CG-PUSCH). Alternatively, the second uplink resource can be a periodic PUCCH resource. Optionally, the first uplink resource is associated with the second uplink resource.

[0209] Alternatively, the second uplink resource can also be any one of a PUCCH resource, a PUSCH resource, an event-triggered reporting resource, a UE-triggered beam reporting resource, an event-triggered beam reporting resource, a UE-triggered reporting resource, an event-triggered second channel resource, an event-triggered second uplink resource, a semi-persistent PUCCH resource, or a semi-persistent PUSCH resource, without limitation.

[0210] Alternatively, the first uplink resource can also be any one of a reporting indication resource, a PUCCH reporting indication resource, a PUSCH reporting indication resource, a scheduling request resource, a pre-indication resource, a pre-notification resource, an event-triggered reporting scheduling request resource, a UE or event-triggered first channel resource, a UE or event-triggered first uplink resource, or a UE-triggered reporting scheduling request resource, a UE-triggered beam reporting resource, a UE-triggered beam reporting indication resource, a UE-triggered first PUCCH resource, without limitation. Alternatively, the first uplink resource can be associated with a PUCCH resource, or associated with a scheduling request ID, or associated with a scheduling request resource, or be a specially configured PUCCH resource, without limitation.

[0211] It should be noted that the event-triggered reporting based on the second mode through the PUSCH can be understood as that the second uplink signaling in step 2 is carried on the PUSCH resource; the event-triggered reporting based on the second mode through the PUCCH can be understood as that the second uplink signaling in step 2 is carried on the PUCCH resource.

[0212] Based on the above trigger mode of the measurement report, the reporting mode of the event triggered reporting, the reporting mode of the non-event triggered reporting, the reporting type of the event triggered reporting based on the first mode, and the reporting type of the event triggered reporting based on the second mode, the reporting mode of the measurement report can be any one of the event triggered reporting, the event triggered reporting based on the first mode (for example, the event triggered reporting based on the first mode through the PUSCH, the event triggered reporting based on the first mode through the PUCCH), the event triggered reporting based on the second mode (for example, the event triggered reporting based on the second mode through the PUSCH, the event triggered reporting based on the second mode through the PUCCH), the non-event triggered reporting, the aperiodic CSI reporting through the PUSCH, the semi-persistent CSI reporting through the PUSCH, the semi-persistent CSI reporting through the PUCCH, or the periodic CSI reporting through the PUCCH.

[0213] Optionally, before step S510 is performed, the method further includes the following steps S501a and / or S501b, and the execution sequence is not limited.

[0214] S501a, the first device acquires configuration information #1.

[0215] The configuration information #1 is used to indicate information of S1 events corresponding to R1 cells, and R1 and S1 are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0216] It can be understood that the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells mean that the R1 cells correspond to the S1 events, or the R1 cells support the S1 events, or the R1 cells are configured with the S1 events, or the sum of the number of events supported (or configured) by each of the R1 cells is S1. Optionally, each cell can be associated with one or more events, and the one or more events associated with each cell can be the same or different, for example, partially the same or completely different, which is not limited in the application.

[0217] Optionally, the configuration information #1 can include information of the R1 cells and information of the S1 events. Correspondingly, the first device learns the R1 cells and the S1 events based on the configuration information #1.

[0218] Optionally, the configuration information #1 can further include an association relationship between the R1 cells and the S1 events, or the configuration information #1 includes information of the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells, or the configuration information #1 includes an association relationship between each of the R1 cells and one or more events of the S1 events. Correspondingly, the first device learns the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells based on the configuration information #1.

[0219] For example, the configuration information #1 includes indexes or identities of the R1 cells and indexes or identities of the S1 events. Alternatively, the configuration information #1 includes information of whether the events corresponding to the event indexes are activated or not.

[0220] For another example, the configuration information #1 includes one or more cell tables (or indexes of the one or more cell tables) and one or more event tables (or indexes of the one or more event tables), wherein each cell table includes one or more cells and each event table includes one or more events. In this way, based on the indexes of the cell tables and the indexes of the event tables included in the configuration information #1, the first device can know the cells included in the cell tables and the events included in the event tables.

[0221] For another example, the configuration information #1 includes values of R1 and values of S1, for example, R1 = 2 and S1 = 4.

[0222] For example, assuming that there are R1 = 2 cells, for example, cell A and cell B, wherein cell A is associated with event 1 and event 2 and cell B is associated with event 3 and event 4, then S1 = 4; or cell A is associated with event 1 and cell B is associated with event 2, event 3 and event 4, then S1 = 4; or cell A can be associated with event 1 and event 3 and cell B is associated with event 2, event 3 and event 4, then S1 = 5; or cell A can be associated with event 1 and event 4 and cell B is associated with event 1, event 2, event 3 and event 4, then S1 = 6; or cell A and cell B are both associated with event 1, event 2, event 3 and event 4, then S1 = 8.

[0223] Further optionally, the method 500 further includes that the second device sends activation signaling to the first device, for activating part or all of the configured or protocol-specified events (i.e., the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells).

[0224] Further optionally, the method 500 further includes that the second device sends deactivation signaling to the first device, for deactivating part or all of the configured or protocol-specified events (i.e., the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells).

[0225] The foregoing activation signaling or deactivation signaling can be carried in RRC, MAC CE or DCI. Alternatively, the activation signaling or deactivation signaling can be carried in the same signaling as the configuration information #1.

[0226] For example, assume that the second device configures the first device with R1 = 2 cells (e.g., cell #1 and cell #2), and the protocol specifies or the second device configures the first device with event #1, event 2, event 3, and event 4. The configuration information #1 includes the identification of the event corresponding to cell #1 and cell #1, which can be an event index or information about whether the event is activated. Similarly, the configuration information #1 also includes the identification of the event corresponding to cell #2 and cell #2, which can be an event index or information about whether the event is activated. The information about whether the event is activated is indicated by a bitmap, and each bit corresponds to whether an event is activated. For example, the bitmap size is 4 bits, and a bit value of 1 indicates that the corresponding event is activated, and a bit value of 0 indicates that the corresponding event is not activated. When the bitmap corresponding to the information about whether the event of cell #1 is activated is 1010, it indicates that event 1 and event 3 are activated, and event 2 and event 4 are not activated. When event 1 and / or event 3 of cell #1 occurs, the measurement result related to the event #1 and / or event #3 can be reported.

[0227] The first device acquires the configuration information #1, including but not limited to the following two implementation manners.

[0228] In one implementation manner, the configuration information #1 is derived from the network side.

[0229] For example, the configuration information #1 can be indicated or configured by the network device through signaling, which can be RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, or DCI signaling.

[0230] In another implementation manner, the configuration information #1 can be pre-defined or pre-configured by the protocol. The pre-definition can include pre-definition, such as protocol definition, and the pre-configuration can be achieved by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables, functions, texts, strings, or other ways that can be used to indicate related information (e.g., configuration information #1) in the network device and / or terminal device, and the specific implementation manner is not limited in the present application.

[0231] Regarding the determination of S1 events corresponding to R1 cells, including but not limited to the following multiple situations.

[0232] Situation one, S1 events corresponding to R1 cells are determined based on the indication information in the following steps S502. In other words, S1 events are events supported by the terminal device, or in other words, S1 events are events indicated by the terminal device through indication information. In this case, the network device can not need to configure the terminal device with the information of the S1 events.

[0233] In a second case, the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells are configured by the network device, i.e., the network device configures (or selects) the S1 events. In this case, the terminal device can support all events or the S1 events by default. In this case, the terminal device can not need to indicate the supported event information to the network device.

[0234] In a third case, the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells are determined based on the indication information in the following step S502 and the events configured by the network device. For example, the network device configures at least one event, the terminal device supports at least one event, and the S1 events are determined based on the at least one event configured by the network device and the at least one event supported by the terminal device.

[0235] In a fourth case, the S1 events corresponding to the R1 cells are predefined or preconfigured by a protocol.

[0236] Optionally, the S1 events can include at least one of the following: the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a first threshold; the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a second threshold; the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a third threshold of the first beam quality; an absolute difference between the second beam quality and the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a fourth threshold; the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a fifth threshold, and the second beam is higher than or equal to a sixth threshold; the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a preset beam quality seventh threshold; the first beam does not belong to the best k beams; the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a reference signal eighth threshold of the worst reference signal in the reference signal associated with the activated TCI state(s); the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a reference signal ninth threshold of the worst reference signal in the reference signal associated with the activated TCI state(s); there are s second beams whose beam quality is higher than or equal to a first beam quality tenth threshold, s being an integer greater than or equal to 2; or there is at least one second beam quality higher than or equal to a configured reference signal beam quality eleventh threshold.

[0237] The first beam represents a serving beam, i.e., a current serving beam. For example, the first beam can be at least one of the following: a reference signal in the indicated TCI state whose QCL type is QCL type D; a reference signal associated with the reference signal in the indicated TCI state whose QCL type is QCL type D (i.e., an SSB having a QCL relationship with the QCL type D reference signal); a reference signal in the UL TCI state applied to the current uplink transmission (PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS / CSI-RS / physical random access channel (PRACH)) whose QCL type is type D; a reference signal in the downlink or joint TCI state (DL or joint TCI state) applied to the current downlink transmission (physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) / physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) / SRS / CSI-RS) whose QCL type is type D; a reference signal in the UL TCI state applied to the current uplink transmission (PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS / CSI-RS / PRACH) corresponding to an SSB satisfying the QCL type D relationship; a reference signal in the DL or joint TCI state applied to the current downlink transmission (PDCCH / PDSCH / SRS / CSI-RS) corresponding to an SSB satisfying the QCL type D relationship; a reference signal configured or indicated by the network device for monitoring the first beam; a reference signal with the worst signal quality among the reference signals associated with the activated TCI state(s); or a reference signal with the best signal quality among the reference signals associated with the activated TCI state(s). The indicated TCI state can be one or more of an indicated joint TCI state, a DL TCI state, or a UL TCI state.

[0238] The second beam represents a beam different from the serving beam, which can also be referred to as a new beam, such as a beam of a current serving cell or the current cell different from the serving beam, or a beam of a candidate cell / neighbor cell, etc. For example, the second beam can be at least one of the following: a reference signal associated with the activated TCI state (other than the indicated TCI state); a reference signal configured or indicated by the network device for monitoring the second beam; or a reference signal associated with the configured TCI state (other than the indicated TCI state).

[0239] Optionally, the first beam can include one or more beams, and the second beam can also include one or more beams, and the number of the first beam and the second beam is not limited in the present application. Wherein, the number of the first beam / second beam can be determined according to the number of UL / DL / joint TCI-state indicated by the network device, for example, the UL / DL / joint TCI-state indicated by the DCI signaling; or the number of the first beam / second beam (or the maximum value of the number of the first beam / second beam) can be predefined or preconfigured.

[0240] Optionally, the reference signal can be SSB, CSI-RS, SRS, or path loss reference signal, etc.

[0241] Optionally, the beam quality can be characterized by at least one of the following, for example: reference signal received power (RSRP), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP), layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (L1-SINR), synchronization signal based signal to interference plus noise ratio (SS-SINR), synchronization signal based reference signal received power (SS-RSRP), (CSI reference signal based signal to nise and interference ratio, CSI-RSRP), channel state information reference signal based signal to interference plus noise ratio (CSI-SINR), or channel quality indicator (CQI).

[0242] Optionally, the thresholds in this application, such as the first threshold, the second threshold, …, or the eleventh threshold, can be predefined or preconfigured, or configured, or signaling indicated, or UE determined, which is not limited herein. The thresholds can be the same or different. The two thresholds can be associated, that is, the associated threshold can be derived through one threshold, or can not be associated. The size relationship between the two thresholds is not limited. The unit of the threshold can be decibel (dB) or decibel milliwatt (dBm), etc.

[0243] The following will be described by taking the above-mentioned S1 events as examples.

[0244] Example 1: the first beam quality is lower than or equal to the first threshold.

[0245] For distinction, this event is referred to as event #A, in other words, event #A indicates that the current serving beam quality is less than or equal to a certain threshold, such as the first threshold (such as threshold 1).

[0246] Example 2: the second beam quality is higher than or equal to the second threshold.

[0247] For distinction, this event is referred to as event #B, in other words, event #B indicates that the beam quality of at least one new beam (that is, the second beam) is greater than or equal to a threshold, such as the second threshold (such as threshold 2).

[0248] As an example, the new beam is one of the reference signals associated with the activated TCI-states (except the indicated TCI-state), or the reference signal configured by the network device (such as the reference signal configured by the network device for measurement, or the reference signal configured by the network device for the terminal device to monitor the occurrence of the event or event #B).

[0249] Example 3: the second beam quality is higher than or equal to the first beam quality third threshold.

[0250] For distinction, this event is referred to as event #C, in other words, event #C indicates that the beam quality of at least one new beam is greater than the beam quality of the current serving beam, and the difference between the beam quality of the new beam and the beam quality of the current serving beam is greater than or equal to a threshold, such as the third threshold (such as threshold 3).

[0251] Alternatively, the event #C can also be described as: the first beam quality is lower than or equal to the second beam quality by a threshold, at this time the threshold can be a value less than 0 dB. Optionally, “the first beam quality is lower than or equal to the second beam quality by a threshold” can also be an event different from event #C, which is not limited herein.

[0252] Example 4, the (absolute) difference between the second beam quality and the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a fourth threshold.

[0253] For the sake of distinction, this event is referred to as event #D. In other words, event #D indicates that the difference between the beam quality of the at least one new beam and the beam quality of the current serving beam is lower than or equal to a threshold, or event #D indicates that the absolute value of the difference between the beam quality of the at least one new beam and the beam quality of the current serving beam is lower than or equal to a threshold, such as a fourth threshold (e.g., threshold 4).

[0254] The above are only example descriptions given for the sake of understanding, and embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The S1 events can also include other events. Several examples are listed below.

[0255] Example 5, the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a fifth threshold, and the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a sixth threshold, and optionally, the sixth threshold is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold.

[0256] For the sake of distinction, this event is referred to as event #E. In other words, event #E indicates that the beam quality of the at least one new beam is greater than a certain threshold, and the beam quality of the current serving beam is lower than or equal to a threshold.

[0257] Example 6, the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a preset beam quality seventh threshold. For example, the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a first beam QCL type D SSB quality seventh threshold. Optionally, the seventh threshold is less than 0 dB, or in other words, the first beam QCL type D SSB quality is higher than or equal to the first beam quality seventh threshold, and optionally, the seventh threshold is greater than 0 dB. For example, the current serving beam is a CSI-RS with QCL type type D in the currently indicated TCI state, and the reference signal of the QCL type type D of the CSI-RS is an SSB, and the quality of the CSI-RS is lower than the quality of the SSB by a threshold 7, and at this time the threshold 7 is less than 0 dB.

[0258] For the sake of distinction, this event is referred to as event #F. For example, the current serving beam is a CSI-RS with QCL type type D in the currently indicated TCI state, and the preset beam is a reference signal (e.g., SSB) that satisfies the QCL type type D of the CSI-RS, and the quality of the CSI-RS is lower than or equal to the quality of the reference signal (e.g., SSB) by a threshold (i.e., a seventh threshold), and at this time the seventh threshold is a value less than 0 dB.

[0259] The event #F can also be described as: the preset beam quality is higher than or equal to the first beam quality seventh threshold, and at this time the seventh threshold is a value greater than 0 dB.

[0260] Example 7, the first beam does not belong to the k best beams, k can be an integer greater than or equal to 1, and optionally, the k best beams can exist in the form of a beam set / group / table.

[0261] For distinction, this event is referred to as event #G, in other words, event #G indicates that the beam quality of the current serving beam is not good, for example, lower than or equal to a certain preset threshold, so when the beam quality of the first beam is lower than or equal to the preset threshold, the terminal device can trigger the reporting of the information of event #G.

[0262] Example 8, the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a ninth threshold of the reference signal with the worst signal quality among the reference signals associated with the activated TCI state(s).

[0263] For distinction, this event is referred to as event #H, in other words, event #H indicates that there is at least one new beam whose beam quality is greater than or equal to the reference signal with the worst signal quality among the reference signals associated with the activated TCI state(s), and the difference between the beam quality of the new beam and the beam quality of the reference signal with the worst signal quality is greater than or equal to a threshold, such as the eighth threshold (e.g., threshold 8).

[0264] Example 9, the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a ninth threshold of the reference signal with the worst signal quality among the reference signals associated with the activated TCI state(s).

[0265] For distinction, this event is referred to as event #I, in other words, event #I indicates that there is at least one new beam whose beam quality is greater than or equal to the reference signal with the best signal quality among the reference signals associated with the activated TCI state(s), and the difference between the beam quality of the new beam and the beam quality of the reference signal with the best signal quality is greater than a threshold, such as the ninth threshold (e.g., threshold 9).

[0266] Example 10, the beam quality of the s second beams is higher than or equal to a tenth threshold of the first beam quality. Optionally, the value of s can be protocol predefined or preconfigured, or can also be indicated or configured by the network device through signaling.

[0267] For distinction, this event is referred to as event #J, in other words, event #J indicates that there are multiple new beams whose beam quality is greater than or equal to the beam quality of the current serving beam, and the difference between the beam quality of the new beam and the beam quality of the current serving beam is greater than a threshold, such as the tenth threshold (e.g., threshold 10).

[0268] Example 11, the beam quality of at least one second beam is higher than or equal to a eleventh threshold of the configured reference signal.

[0269] To distinguish, the event is referred to as event #K, in other words, event #K indicates that there is at least one new beam whose beam quality is greater than or equal to the beam quality of the configured reference signal, and the difference between the beam quality of the new beam and the beam quality of the configured reference signal is greater than a threshold, such as the eleventh threshold (such as threshold 11).

[0270] Taking event #A as an example, if event #A occurs, it indicates that the following situation occurs: the first beam quality is lower than the first threshold, or the first beam quality is equal to the first threshold. For example, if the terminal device determines through measurement that the first beam quality is lower than or equal to the first threshold, it is determined that event #A occurs. Taking event #B as an example, if event #B occurs, it indicates that the following situation occurs: the second beam quality is higher than the first threshold, or the second beam quality is equal to the second threshold. For example, if the terminal device determines through measurement that the second beam quality is higher than or equal to the second threshold, it is determined that event #B occurs. That is, the occurrence of the event triggers the reporting, that is, the reporting of the measurement result corresponding to the event is triggered.

[0271] It can be understood that in the above examples, the case of "equal to" can be a case of event occurrence, or it can also be a case of event non-occurrence, that is, the above-defined event can not contain "equal to", or it can also be other uses, which are not limited.

[0272] The S1 events can be any one or more of the foregoing events #A to #K, or can not be limited to the foregoing events, and the specific events are not limited in the present application.

[0273] S501b, the first device acquires configuration information #2 (which can also be referred to as X1 measurement report configurations).

[0274] The configuration information #2 is used to indicate X1 measurement report configurations, and the X1 measurement report configurations include K event-triggered measurement report configurations and L non-event-triggered measurement report configurations. It can be understood that K+L=X1. The X1 measurement report configurations correspond to the X1 measurement reports one by one, the K event-triggered measurement report configurations correspond to the K first measurement reports one by one, and the L non-event-triggered measurement report configurations correspond to the L second measurement reports one by one. The K first measurement reports include M first measurement reports, the L second measurement reports include N second measurement reports, the X1 measurement reports include X measurement reports, and K and L are both integers greater than or equal to 0.

[0275] That is, the X1 measurement reports configured by the network device include K first measurement reports triggered by events and L second measurement reports triggered by no events. For example, K = 0 and L = X1, which indicates that the X1 measurement reports configured by the network device are all non-event triggered measurement report configurations; for another example, L = 0 and K = X, which indicates that the X1 measurement reports configured by the network device are all event triggered measurement report configurations; for yet another example, L and K are both integers unequal to 0, which indicates that the X1 measurement reports configured by the network device include K event triggered measurement report configurations and L non-event triggered measurement report configurations. As an example, X1 = 4, K = 1 and L = 3, which indicates that the network device configures 4 measurement report configurations, including 1 event triggered measurement report configuration and 3 non-event triggered measurement report configurations.

[0276] Optionally, the K event triggered measurement report configurations are associated with S1 events corresponding to R1 cells.

[0277] In an example, the M first measurement reports determined in the step S510 can include S event related measurement results corresponding to R cells, the R cells are cells in which events occur, the S events are events that occur, the R cells belong to the R1 cells, the S events belong to the S1 events, X is a positive integer less than or equal to X1, R is an integer less than or equal to R1, and S is an integer less than or equal to S1.

[0278] In the present application, the first measurement report, i.e., the event related measurement report, can be understood as: only including S event related measurement results corresponding to R cells, at this time, the measurement report does not include measurement results related to cells in which events do not occur; or, it can also be understood as: including S1 event related measurement results corresponding to R1 cells, at this time, the first measurement report can fill a pre-defined value, such as 0, for measurement results related to cells in which events do not occur or for measurement results related to cells in which events occur but are not reported.

[0279] Optionally, among the R1 cells, there can be R2 cells in which events occur, the total number of events occurring on the R2 cells can be S2, the R2 cells include the R cells, i.e., R is less than or equal to R2, R2 is less than or equal to R1, which indicates that the terminal device can report all or part of the cells in which events occur, S2 is greater than or equal to S, which indicates that the terminal device can report all events that occur or part of the events that occur, which is not limited in the present application.

[0280] In the present application, the number X of measurement reports reported by the first device, the number M of first measurement reports, and the number N of second measurement reports can be one or more, depending on the number of reported measurement reports configured by the network device or predefined by the protocol, or the reporting capability of the terminal, or the reporting resource configured or scheduled by the network device. It should be understood that one measurement report configuration corresponds to one measurement report. Optionally, the reporting parameters of each event-triggered reporting supported on each cell can be predefined or preconfigured by the protocol, or indicated or configured by the network device through signaling, which is not limited in the present application. For example, when the measurement results of S events corresponding to R cells correspond to multiple first measurement reports, it means that one first measurement report can include at least one event-related measurement result of one cell, or one first measurement report can include one event-related measurement result of one cell, or one first measurement report can include the same event-related measurement results of multiple cells, or one first measurement report can include at least one event-related measurement result of multiple cells, etc., and the first device reports the measurement results of S events corresponding to R cells through multiple first measurement reports. For another example, when the measurement results of S events corresponding to R cells correspond to one first measurement report, the first device reports the measurement results of S events corresponding to R cells through one first measurement report.

[0281] In the present application, the information of the event occurring in S1 events corresponding to R1 cells can be referred to as the information of the event or event information, which represents information related to the event. As an example, the information of the event occurring in S1 events corresponding to R1 cells includes at least one of the following: the index of the cell of the event, the index of the event, the number of cells of the event, the number of events, or the content of the event.

[0282] In the present application, the event-triggered measurement report configuration can be mutually replaced with any of the following: event-triggered or terminal device initiated report configuration, event-triggered or terminal device initiated beam report configuration, event-triggered or terminal device initiated CSI reportConfig, event-triggered or terminal device initiated measurement report configuration, event-triggered or terminal device initiated beam measurement result report configuration, event-triggered or terminal device initiated interference measurement report configuration, interference measurement report configuration, CSI reportConfig, UE initiated reportConfig, Event rigger-CSI-ReportConfig, or beam measurement result report configuration, etc. Specifically, the measurement report configuration can be a CSI-reportConfig, which configures an indication information (for example, reportConfigType is configured as EventTriggered) for indicating that the report configuration is an event-triggered reporting configuration, or the CSI-reportConfig contains event-related information, such as event index, event corresponding threshold, etc. information, which indicates that the report configuration is an event-triggered reporting configuration; or, the measurement report configuration can be configured by a special IE, such as L1-EventTriggered-CSI-ReportConfig.

[0283] The first device acquires configuration information #2, including but not limited to the following two implementation manners.

[0284] In an implementation manner, the configuration information #2 is from the network side.

[0285] For example, the configuration information #2 can be indicated or configured by the network device through signaling, which can be RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, or DCI signaling.

[0286] In another implementation manner, the configuration information #2 can be pre-defined or pre-configured by the protocol. The pre-definition can include pre-definition, such as protocol definition, and the pre-configuration can be implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables, functions, texts, strings or other ways that can be used to indicate related information (for example, configuration information #2) in the network device and / or terminal device, and the present application does not limit the specific implementation manner.

[0287] Optionally, the R cells or R1 cells are associated with one or more event-triggered measurement report configurations, which can be indicated or configured by the network device, or can be pre-defined by the protocol, and the present application does not limit this.

[0288] The following describes the association between one or more event-triggered measurement report configurations and S1 events corresponding to R1 cells in terms of scenario one, scenario two and scenario three.

[0289] In scenario one, one event-triggered measurement report configuration is associated with S1 events occurring in R1 cells. The event-triggered measurement report configuration can be a CSI-reportConfig, an event-triggered report configuration or an event-triggered measurement report configuration. Specifically, the CSI-reportConfig includes an indication information (for example, reportConfigType is configured as EventTriggered), which indicates that the report configuration is an event-triggered report configuration, or the CSI-reportConfig includes event-related information, such as event index, event corresponding threshold and the like, which indicates that the report configuration is an event-triggered report configuration. Alternatively, the event-triggered report configuration is configured by a special IE, such as L1-EventTriggered-CSI-ReportConfig. In other words, one event-triggered measurement report configuration can be associated with one or more cells or one or more CCs, and one event-triggered measurement report configuration can be associated with one or more events corresponding to one or more cells or CCs and / or event-related reference signal resources corresponding to one or more cells or CCs, that is, one event-triggered measurement report corresponds to one or more events of one or more cells or CCs.

[0290] It can be understood that, assuming that one event-triggered measurement report configuration is associated with R1 cells, the network device can send one event-triggered measurement report configuration for R1 cells, and the terminal device can report one event-triggered measurement report, that is, the one event-triggered measurement report includes the measurement results of at least one event associated with each of the R1 cells, and the event-triggered measurement report is a first measurement report.

[0291] Exemplarily, the event-triggered measurement report configuration includes one or more of the following information, or the event-triggered measurement report configuration is associated with one or more of the following information: information of one or more of the R1 cells; one or more event information corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; reference signal measurement resources corresponding to one or more events corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; event-triggered report resources corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; scheduling request or indication resources corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; reporting quantity of events corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; or reporting number of reporting parameters (or reporting quantity) of events corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells.

[0292] The following illustrates the measurement reporting configuration triggered by the events listed above.

[0293] Example 1, one or more cell information in R cells.

[0294] For example, the index or identity of the serving cell, which can be a primary cell (Pcell), a secondary cell (Scell), or a primary secondary cell (PScell), wherein the Pcell can also be referred to as the cell of the primary component carrier (PCC), the Scell can also be referred to as the cell of the secondary component carrier (SCC), and for another example, the cell corresponding to the additional physical cell identifier (additional PCI), i.e., the cell corresponding to the neighboring cell of the serving cell, the non-serving cell corresponding to the additional PCI can also be referred to as the additional PCI, and the cell corresponding to the additional PCI associated in the activated TCI state; it can also be the index of the candidate cell; or the index of the CC; or the PCI.

[0295] Example 2, one or more event information corresponding to one or more cells in R cells.

[0296] For example, the event index corresponding to each cell, or one or more bits of one or more events supported by each cell, assuming that the event information includes r bits, to indicate the event index, indicates that the corresponding cell does not support the Sth event, or the value of the sth bit is "1", the sth bit is used to indicate that the corresponding cell supports the Sth event, and vice versa. For example, the value of the sth bit is "1", the sth bit is used to indicate that the corresponding cell does not support the Sth event, or the value of the sth bit is "0", the sth bit is used to indicate that the corresponding cell supports the Sth event. If the measurement report configuration triggered by the event is associated with only one cell, the one or more event information corresponds to the cell. If the measurement report configuration triggered by the event is associated with multiple cells, one or more event information can be configured independently for each cell, or multiple cells can be associated with the same one or more event information.

[0297] Example 3, the reference signal measurement resource corresponding to the one or more events corresponding to one or more cells in R1 cells.

[0298] The reference signal measurement resource can be configured separately for each event, or the same reference signal measurement resource can be configured for multiple events. The specific reference signal resource refers to the reference signal corresponding to the foregoing current beam and new beam, which can be explicitly configured or implicitly determined. For example, if the measurement report configuration triggered by the event is associated with only one cell, the reference signal measurement resource corresponds to the cell; if the measurement report configuration triggered by the event is associated with multiple cells, the reference signal measurement resource corresponding to one or more events is configured independently for each cell.

[0299] Example 4, the event triggered reporting resource corresponding to one or more cells in R1 cells, used to carry the beam measurement result triggered by the event, such as periodic PUCCH resource, aperiodic PUSCH resource, semi-persistent PUCCH resource, semi-persistent PUSCH resource, etc. Only one reporting resource can be configured, that is, the same reporting resource corresponding to each cell, or the reporting resource can be configured for each cell.

[0300] Optionally, the event triggered reporting resource can be replaced by PUCCH resource, PUSCH resource, event triggered reporting resource, or UE triggered reporting resource, event triggered second channel resource, event triggered second uplink resource, etc.

[0301] Example 5, the scheduling request or indication resource corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells, used to carry the indication information of the event occurrence, the indication information used to indicate to the network device that the beam measurement result of the event trigger needs to be reported and / or that the event occurrence exists, or used to request the event trigger reporting resource. Only one indication resource can be configured, that is, the same scheduling request or indication resource corresponding to each cell, or the scheduling request or indication resource corresponding to each cell can be configured respectively.

[0302] Optionally, the scheduling request or indication resource can be replaced by any one of the following descriptions: reporting indication resource, PUCCH indication resource, PUSCH indication resource, scheduling request resource, pre-indication resource, pre-notification resource, event trigger reporting scheduling request resource, event trigger first channel resource, event trigger first uplink resource, UE trigger beam reporting reporting request resource, UE trigger beam reporting reporting indication resource, UE trigger reporting first PUCCH resource, or terminal device trigger reporting scheduling request resource.

[0303] Example 6, the reporting quantity (or reporting parameter) when one or more events occur in one or more of the R1 cells, and / or the number of reporting quantities of the events corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells. The reporting quantity corresponding to each event can be configured by the network or specified by the protocol. Similarly, if the reporting configuration is associated with one cell, the reporting quantity corresponding to each event and / or the number of reporting quantities correspond to one cell; if the reporting configuration is associated with multiple cells, that is, each cell can correspond to the same reporting quantity corresponding to each event and / or the number of reporting quantities, or each cell can be configured with the reporting quantity corresponding to each event and / or the number of reporting quantities. It can also be understood that the measurement result containing the reporting quantity (or reporting parameter) that needs to be reported when one or more events occur in one or more of the R1 cells.

[0304] The reporting quantity (or reporting parameter) can include one or more of the following:

[0305] (1) Report parameter #1, current serving beam index or first beam index, which can also be understood as the index of the reference signal of QCL type D in the indicated TCI-state; or, the index of the reference signal (e.g., SSB) corresponding to the reference signal satisfying the QCL type D relationship in the indicated TCI state; or, the index of the reference signal (e.g., SSB) of QCL type D in the UL TCI-state applied by the current uplink transmission (PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS / PRACH); or, the index of the reference signal (e.g., SSB) of QCL type D in the downlink or joint TCI-state (DL or joint TCI-state) applied by the current downlink transmission (PDCCH / PDSCH / CSI-RS).

[0306] (2) Report parameter #2, the beam quality of the current serving beam, or the first beam quality. For example, the first beam quality can be represented by the RSRP, or SINR, or L1-RSRP, or L1-SINR, or SS-RSRP, or CSI-RSRP, or SS-SINR, or CSI-SINR corresponding to the current serving beam.

[0307] (3) Report parameter #3, the index of the second beam, which can also be understood as the index of the reference signal of QCL type D in the activated TCI-state (except the indicated TCI-state), or the index of the reference signal (except the reference signal corresponding to the current serving beam) in the reference signal configured by the network device (such as the reference signal configured by the network device for measurement, or the reference signal configured by the network device for the terminal device to monitor the occurrence of an event).

[0308] (4) Report parameter #4, the second beam quality. For example, the second beam quality can be represented by the RSRP, or SINR, or L1-RSRP, or L1-SINR, or SS-RSRP, or CSI-RSRP, or SS-SINR, or CSI-SINR corresponding to the second beam.

[0309] (5) Report parameter #5, one or more cell information, which can be understood as which cell the reported event-triggered measurement report configuration corresponds to, or which cell the reported measurement result is measured on (i.e., the cell corresponding to the reference signal resource associated with the reported event-triggered measurement report configuration). For example, the cell information can be the handover candidate cell ID, the additional PCI, the CC index, or the PCI.

[0310] (6) Report parameter #6, the reason why the current serving beam quality is lower than the threshold (e.g., the first threshold). For example, the network device beam is misaligned, the terminal device receiving beam is misaligned, the transmitting and receiving beam is misaligned, etc. The misalignment can also be replaced by the words such as expiration, invalidation, etc. Or, it indicates whether the CSI-RS set measurement triggered by “repetition” is “on”, which is used to poll the receiving beam on the UE side.

[0311] (7) Report parameter #7, reference signal resource set index, for example, CSI-RS resource set (CSI-RS-ResourceSet) index, CSI interference measurement (IM) resource set (CSI-IM-ResourceSet) index, channel state information synchronization signal and PBCH block (CSI-SSB) resource set (CSI-SSB-ResourceSet) index, or the reference signal resource set index configured by the network device for the terminal device to monitor the occurrence of the event, which is used to indicate which reference signal resource set the current serving beam and / or the second beam belongs to.

[0312] (8) Report parameter #8, report configuration index, for example, CSI report configuration identifier (CSI-ReportConfigId), or event triggered report configuration index.

[0313] (9) Report parameter #9, event information, for example, the index of the event that occurs, or one or more bits used to indicate whether the event occurs. For example, the event information includes r bits, used to indicate the index of the event that occurs, which means rounding up, at this time it can be understood that: one cell contains F events, and there are multiple cells containing the same event, that is, S1 is greater than or equal to F, and F is an integer greater than 1. For example, the event information includes S1 bits, and the S1 bits correspond to S1 events one by one, and the s-th bit in the S1 bits is used to indicate whether the event corresponding to the s-th bit occurs, s=1, 2, …, S1. For example, the value of the s-th bit is “0”, then the s-th bit is used to indicate that the s-th bit corresponds to the event that occurs, or the value of the s-th bit is “1”, then the s-th bit is used to indicate that the s-th bit corresponds to the event that occurs. In this application, the information about the event that occurs or the event information that needs to report the related measurement results can be expressed in the above manner.

[0314] (10) Report parameter #10, capability index, used to determine the maximum number of SRS ports.

[0315] (11) Report parameter #11, channel state information, which can include one or more of precoding matrix indicator (PMI), rank indicator (RI), channel quality informator (CQI), and layer indicator (LI).

[0316] (12) Report parameter #12, first indication information, the specific interpretation of which can be referred to the description below.

[0317] (13) Report parameter #13, second indication information, the specific interpretation of which can be referred to the description below.

[0318] The above report parameters are only examples for facilitating understanding, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and other report parameters can also be included.

[0319] In case two, one event-triggered measurement report configuration is associated with one of R1 cells, which can be CSI-reportConfig or event-triggered report configuration, etc. In other words, in this mode, one event-triggered measurement report configuration is associated with one cell or one CC, that is, one event-triggered measurement report corresponds to one cell or one CC, or one event-triggered measurement report configuration corresponds to the reference signal measurement resource corresponding to one cell or one CC event. That is, R1 cells or R1 CCs correspond to one or more event-triggered measurement report configurations, which correspond to one or more event-triggered measurement reports.

[0320] It can be understood that, assuming that one event-triggered measurement report configuration is associated with one cell, the network device can send S1 event-triggered measurement report configurations for R1 cells, and the terminal device can report M first measurement reports, that is, each first measurement report includes the measurement result of at least one event of S events associated with one of R cells.

[0321] Exemplarily, the one event-triggered measurement report configuration contains one or more of the following information, or is associated with one or more of the following information: one cell information; one or more event information corresponding to one cell; one or more reference signal measurement resources corresponding to one or more events corresponding to one cell; one event-triggered reporting resource corresponding to one cell; one scheduling request or indication resource corresponding to one cell; one reporting quantity corresponding to one event of one cell; or one reporting number of one reporting quantity corresponding to each of one or more events of one cell, wherein each event can correspond to one or more reporting quantities. For brevity, the specific parameter interpretation is not repeated here, and can be referred to the related description of the above case one.

[0322] In case three, there are multiple event-triggered measurement report configurations associated with one cell in the R1 cells (for example, R1 is greater than 1), and there is also one event-triggered measurement report configuration associated with one cell, or one event-triggered measurement report configuration associated with multiple cells. The event-triggered measurement report configuration can be a CSI-reportConfig, or an event-triggered reporting configuration, etc. In other words, in this way, one event-triggered measurement report configuration can be associated with one cell or one CC, and one event-triggered measurement report configuration can also be associated with multiple cells or multiple CCs, that is, one event-triggered measurement report can correspond to one cell or one CC, and one event-triggered measurement report can also correspond to multiple cells or multiple CCs. That is, the R1 cells or R1 CCs correspond to T event-triggered measurement report configurations, that is, T event-triggered measurement reports, T is an integer greater than 1.

[0323] As an example, assuming R1=3 and T=2, it is illustrated that three cells (such as cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3) correspond to two event-triggered measurement report configurations (such as event-triggered measurement report configuration #1 and event-triggered measurement report configuration #2), for example, cell 1 and cell 2 correspond to event-triggered measurement report configuration #1, and cell 3 corresponds to event-triggered measurement report configuration #2. Then, when an event occurs on cell 1 and / or cell 2, the terminal device can report event-triggered measurement report #1 corresponding to event-triggered measurement report configuration #1 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring on cell 1 and / or cell 2, and when an event occurs on cell 3, the terminal device can report event-triggered measurement report #2 corresponding to event-triggered measurement report configuration #2 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring on cell 3.

[0324] As another example, assuming R1=3, T=4, it is assumed that there are three cells (e.g., cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3) corresponding to 4 event-triggered measurement report configurations (e.g., event-triggered measurement report configuration #1, event-triggered measurement report configuration #2, event-triggered measurement report configuration #3, event-triggered measurement report configuration #4), for example, cell 1 corresponds to event-triggered measurement report configuration #1, cell 2 corresponds to event-triggered measurement report configuration #2 and event-triggered measurement report configuration #3, event-triggered measurement report configuration #2 and event-triggered measurement report configuration #3 are respectively associated with different types (e.g., SSB and CSI-RS, respectively) of reference signal measurement resources of cell 2, and cell 4 corresponds to event-triggered measurement report configuration #4. When an event occurs on cell 1, the terminal device can report event-triggered measurement report #1 corresponding to event-triggered measurement report configuration #1 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring on cell 1. When an event occurs on cell 2 and the event is monitored on SSB, the terminal device can report event-triggered measurement report #2 corresponding to event-triggered measurement report configuration #2 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring on cell 2 and monitored on SSB. When an event occurs on cell 3, the terminal device can report event-triggered measurement report #4 corresponding to event-triggered measurement report configuration #4 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring on cell 3.

[0325] Exemplarily, the event-triggered measurement report configuration contains one or more of the following information, or is associated with one or more of the following: information of one or more of the R1 cells; one or more event information corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; reference signal measurement resources corresponding to one or more events corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; event-triggered reporting resources corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; scheduling request or indication resources corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; reporting quantity of events corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells; or, reporting number of reporting parameters of events corresponding to one or more of the R1 cells. For brevity, the specific parameter explanations are not repeated here, and can be referred to the related description of the above case 1.

[0326] Optionally, the one or more event-triggered measurement report configurations can be associated with event-related reference signal measurement resources of one or more cells. Wherein, the reference signal resource represents the reference signal resource of the measurement corresponding to the event, or the reference signal resource of the measurement corresponding to the terminal device.

[0327] In an implementation manner, the network device configures the reference signal resource information of the measurement corresponding to different events.

[0328] Based on the manner, the terminal device determines the reference signal resource, including: the terminal device receives indication information, the indication information being used for indicating the reference signal resource. The information of the reference signal resource and the information of the S1 events can be carried in the same signaling, such as the configuration information #1 in step S501a including the information of the S1 events and the information of the reference signal resource; or can be carried in different signaling, which is not limited.

[0329] In an example, the network device configures the reference signal resource (reference signal) or the reference signal resource set (including reference signal) or the reference signal resource configuration (including the reference signal resource set) corresponding to different events, for monitoring whether a certain event occurs, and triggering reporting when the event occurs. Alternatively, the measurement result triggered by a certain event corresponds to the reference signal resource / reference signal resource set / reference signal resource configuration corresponding to the event.

[0330] Optionally, the network device respectively configures or associates different reference signal resources / reference signal resource sets / reference signal resource configurations for different events; or the network device configures or associates the same reference signal resources / reference signal resource sets / reference signal resource configurations for different events.

[0331] In another example, the network device sends the event-triggered measurement report configuration, also called event-triggered reporting configuration or event-triggered measurement report configuration, to the terminal device. The configuration is a special event-triggered reporting configuration or event-triggered measurement report configuration.

[0332] For example, the event-triggered measurement report configuration information #1 includes information for indicating that the reporting corresponds to only event-triggered measurement result reporting, or includes information for indicating that the reporting can be event-triggered reporting, or the event-triggered measurement report configuration is a special RRC information element, and the terminal device knows that the configuration is an event-triggered reporting configuration. Further, the event-triggered measurement report configuration can also be associated with the reference signal resource / reference signal resource set / reference signal resource configuration, so that the terminal device can determine which reference signal resource measurement result can be reported in the event reporting.

[0333] In yet another example, the network device sends different event-triggered measurement report configurations to the terminal.

[0334] For example, the event-triggered measurement report configuration information #1 includes event information, such as event index, for indicating that the event-triggered measurement report configuration corresponds to a certain specific event, and if the event occurs, the reporting is performed according to the corresponding configuration information #1.

[0335] In another implementation manner, the reference signal resource information of the measurement corresponding to different event-triggered reporting is predefined.

[0336] In an example, the reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement triggered by the different event can be predefined as the reference signal resource corresponding to the current serving beam. For example, the reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement triggered by the different event can be predefined as the reference signal resource of which the QCL type is typeD in the currently indicated TCI-state, or the reference signal resource of which the QCL type is typeD in the UL TCI-state applied by the current uplink transmission (PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS / physical random access channel (PRACH)), or the reference signal resource of which the QCL type is typeD in the DL or joint TCI-state applied by the current downlink transmission (PDCCH / PDSCH / CSI-RS).

[0337] In another example, the reference signal resource corresponding to the measurement triggered by the different event can be predefined as the reference signal resource of which the QCL type is typeD in the currently activated TCI-state.

[0338] The predefined reference signal resource can correspond to different events or the same event, and the reference signal can be a reference signal of a serving cell or a reference signal of a candidate cell / neighbor cell.

[0339] Optionally, before the terminal device obtains the configuration information #1 and / or the configuration information #2, the terminal device can report capability information to the network device, that is, the method can further include the following step S502.

[0340] S502, the first device sends indication information to the second device.

[0341] Correspondingly, the second device receives the indication information from the first device.

[0342] The indication information is used to indicate the information of the event corresponding to the first device, or the information of the event supported by the first device, and the indication information can also be referred to as terminal capability information.

[0343] As an example, the specific implementation manner can include but is not limited to: if the terminal device reports the terminal capability information, it means that the terminal device supports the capability; on the contrary, if the terminal device does not report the terminal capability information, it means that the terminal device does not support the capability; or, if the terminal device reports the terminal capability information, it means that the terminal device supports the capability; if the terminal device reports that it does not support the terminal capability information, it means that the terminal device does not support the capability. Or, the terminal device supports capability #1, which means that it supports capability #2, so when the terminal device reports that it supports capability #1 in the capability information, even if it does not report the information of capability #2, it also means that the terminal device supports capability #2.

[0344] In this application, the event represents an event related to a terminal device initiated report (UE initiated report), or an event related to a terminal device initiated measurement report, or an event related to a terminal device initiated report after active measurement, or a specific condition related to a terminal device initiated measurement report. For example, the terminal device can actively perform measurement (such as beam measurement, or channel measurement, etc.), and then obtain a measurement report related to the event. For another example, the terminal device can perform measurement based on a reference signal according to the configuration of the reference signal resource, and then obtain a measurement report related to the event. For another example, the terminal device actively performs measurement, and reports a measurement report related to the event when a specific condition is met. The event can also be replaced by any of the following: a trigger event, a layer 1 (L1) trigger event, a CSI measurement report trigger event, a beam measurement report trigger event, an L1 CSI report trigger event, an L1 beam measurement report trigger event, etc. The naming thereof is not limited by the embodiments of this application.

[0345] In this application, the measurement report related to the event can be replaced by any of the following: an event triggered or terminal device initiated report, an event triggered or terminal device initiated beam report, an event triggered or terminal device initiated CSI report, an event triggered or terminal device initiated measurement report, an event triggered or terminal device initiated beam measurement result report, an event triggered or terminal device initiated interference measurement report, an interference measurement report, a CSI report, or a beam measurement result report, etc.

[0346] Optionally, the indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: a capability of whether the terminal device supports event triggered reporting, one or more events corresponding to the event triggered reporting supported by the terminal device, a capability of whether each CC (or cell) of the terminal device supports event triggered reporting, one or more events corresponding to the event triggered reporting supported by each CC of the terminal device, a maximum number of event triggered beam reporting configurations supported by the terminal device, a maximum number of event triggered reporting configurations supported by each CC of the terminal device, a number of cells associated with an event triggered beam reporting configuration, a number of events of each cell associated with an event triggered beam reporting configuration, a maximum number of reported beams supported by each event supported by the terminal device, a maximum number of reported new beams (i.e., second beams) supported by each event supported by the terminal device, whether the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting, or whether the terminal device supports sending a measurement report of event triggered reporting and a measurement report of non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously.

[0347] The specific information indicated by the indication information will be described by way of example below.

[0348] Example 1, the indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0349] For example, whether the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting can be implemented by at least one bit. It is assumed that the capability of event triggered reporting supported by the terminal device is indicated by 1 bit. If the bit is set to "0", it indicates that the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting; if the bit is set to "1", it indicates that the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting, and vice versa, for example, if the bit is set to "1", it indicates that the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting; if the bit is set to "0", it indicates that the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0350] For another example, whether the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting is indicated by whether the capability of event triggered reporting supported is reported. If the terminal device does not report the capability of event triggered reporting not supported, it can be defaulted that the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting. Alternatively, if the terminal device does not report the capability of event triggered reporting supported, it can be defaulted that the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0351] The above is an example description, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, whether the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting can also be indicated by a specific field. If the indication information includes the specific field, it indicates that the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting; if the indication information does not include the specific field, it indicates that the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0352] Example 2, the indication information is used to indicate one or more events corresponding to the event triggered reporting supported by the terminal device, in short, the indication information is used to indicate the events supported by the terminal device.

[0353] For example, the indication information includes the index of each event supported by the terminal device; or is represented in the form of a bit map. It is assumed that there are events 1 to 4, if the events corresponding to the event triggered reporting supported by the terminal device include event 1 and event 4, the terminal device can send the indication information, which can include the index of event 1 and event 4, or the indication information can include bitmap = 1001, indicating that the terminal device supports event 1 and event 4 of the event triggered reporting, and does not support event 2 and event 3 of the event triggered reporting.

[0354] For another example, the indication information includes the index of each event table supported by the terminal device, and one event table includes one or more events.

[0355] For another example, the indication information includes the number of events supported by the terminal device.

[0356] For another example, the terminal does not report one or more events corresponding to the supported event triggered reporting, which means that the terminal does not support any event triggered reporting. Or, the terminal does not report one or more events corresponding to the supported event triggered reporting, which means that the terminal supports all the events defined in the protocol.

[0357] Example 3: The indication information is used to indicate whether each CC (or cell) of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0358] For example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting can be implemented by at least one bit. It is assumed that whether each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting is indicated by 1 bit. If the bit is set to "0", it means that each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting; if the bit is set to "1", it means that each CC of the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting. It is assumed that there are 4 CCs, and whether each CC supports the capability of event triggered reporting is indicated by 2 bits: if CC#0 and CC#1 of the terminal device support the capability of event triggered reporting, and CC#2 and CC#3 of the terminal device do not support the capability of event triggered reporting, the terminal device can report "00" and "01", which means that CC#0 and CC#1 of the terminal device support the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0359] For another example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting can be implemented by a bit bitmap. It is assumed that there are 4 CCs, i.e. the size of the bit bitmap is 4 bits, if CC#0 and CC#1 of the terminal device support the capability of event triggered reporting, and CC#2 and CC#3 of the terminal device do not support the capability of event triggered reporting, bit "1" means that the CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting, and bit "0" means that the CC of the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting, then the terminal device can send bitmap="1100".

[0360] For another example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting is indicated by whether the capability of supporting event triggered reporting is reported. If the terminal device does not report the capability of not supporting event triggered reporting, it can be defaulted that each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting. Or, for example, if the terminal device does not report the capability of supporting event triggered reporting, it can be defaulted that each CC of the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0361] The above is an example for illustration, and embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports event-triggered reporting can also be indicated by a specific field. If the indication information includes the specific field, it indicates that each CC of the terminal device supports event-triggered reporting. If the indication information does not include the specific field, it indicates that each CC of the terminal device does not support event-triggered reporting.

[0362] Example 4: The indication information is used to indicate one or more events corresponding to event-triggered reporting supported by each CC of the terminal device. In short, the indication information is used to indicate events supported by each CC of the terminal device.

[0363] For example, the indication information includes indexes of each event supported by each CC of the terminal device; or is represented in the form of a bitmap. Assuming that CC#1 supports events 1, 2, and 3, if the terminal device supports event-triggered reporting corresponding to events 1 and 3 for CC#1, the terminal device can send indication information, which can include indexes of events 1 and 3, or the indication information can include bitmap=101, indicating that the terminal device supports event-triggered reporting of events 1 and 3, and does not support event-triggered reporting of event 2.

[0364] For another example, the indication information includes indexes of each event table supported by each CC of the terminal device, and one event table includes one or more events.

[0365] For yet another example, the indication information includes the number of events supported by each CC of the terminal device.

[0366] Example 5: The indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of event-triggered beam reporting configurations supported by the terminal device.

[0367] For example, if the maximum number of event-triggered beam reporting configurations supported by the terminal device is 4, it means that the number of measurement reports of event-triggered beam reporting supported by the terminal device can be 1, 2, 3, or 4.

[0368] Example 6: The indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of event-triggered reporting configurations supported by each CC of the terminal device.

[0369] For example, if the maximum number of event-triggered reporting configurations supported by each CC of the terminal device is 3, it means that the number of measurement reports of event-triggered reporting supported by the terminal device in R cells can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0370] Example 7: The indication information is used to indicate the number of associated cells supported by the event-triggered beam reporting configuration.

[0371] For example, the event triggered beam reporting configuration supports 4 associated cells, which means that the terminal device supports 1, 2, 3, or 4 associated cells for event triggered beam reporting.

[0372] Example 8, the indication information is used to indicate that the event triggered beam reporting configuration supports the number of events of each associated cell.

[0373] For example, the event triggered beam reporting configuration supports 2 events of each associated cell, which means that the terminal device supports 1 or 2 events of each associated cell for event triggered beam reporting.

[0374] Example 9, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of reported beams supported by the terminal device for each event.

[0375] For example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of reported beams supported by the supported event #1 is 2, and the maximum number of reported beams supported by the supported event #2 is 3. When event #1 occurs, the number of reported beams associated with event 1 can be 1 or 2; when event #2 occurs, the number of reported beams associated with event 2 can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0376] For example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of reported beams supported by the supported event #1 and event #2 is 3. When event #1 occurs, the number of reported beams associated with event 1 can be 1, 2, or 3; when event #2 occurs, the number of reported beams associated with event 2 can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0377] Example 10, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of new beams (i.e., second beams) supported by the terminal device for each event.

[0378] For example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of new beams supported by the supported event #1 is 2, and the maximum number of new beams supported by the supported event #2 is 3. When event #1 occurs, the number of reported new beams associated with event 1 can be 1 or 2; when event #2 occurs, the number of reported new beams associated with event 2 can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0379] For example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of new beams supported by the supported event #1 and event #2 is 3. When event #1 occurs, the number of reported new beams associated with event 1 can be 1, 2, or 3; when event #2 occurs, the number of reported new beams associated with event 2 can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0380] Example 11, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of CCs supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting.

[0381] For example, if the maximum number of CCs (or cells) supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting is 4, it means that the terminal device can simultaneously perform event triggered reporting for 1, 2, 3, or 4 CCs.

[0382] Example 12, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of events supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting.

[0383] For example, if the maximum number of events supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting is 4, it means that the terminal device can simultaneously perform event triggered reporting for 1, 2, 3, or 4 events.

[0384] Example 13, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of measurement report configurations supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting.

[0385] For example, if the maximum number of measurement report configurations supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting is 4, it means that the terminal device can simultaneously perform event triggered reporting for 1, 2, 3, or 4 measurement reports corresponding to the measurement report configurations.

[0386] Example 14, the indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting.

[0387] For example, whether the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting can be implemented by at least one bit. It is assumed that 1 bit is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting. If the bit is set to "0", it means that the terminal device does not support simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting; if the bit is set to "1", it means that the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting, and vice versa, for example, if the bit is set to "1", it means that the terminal device does not support simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting; if the bit is set to "0", it means that the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting.

[0388] For another example, whether the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting is indicated by whether the terminal device reports support of simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting. If the terminal device does not report that it does not support simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting, it is assumed that the terminal device supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting; or if the terminal device does not report that it supports simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting, it is assumed that the terminal device does not support simultaneous configuration of event triggered reporting and non-event triggered reporting.

[0389] Example 15, the indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports sending the measurement report of the event triggered reporting and the measurement report of the non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously.

[0390] For example, whether the terminal device supports sending the measurement report of the event triggered reporting and the measurement report of the non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously can be implemented by at least one bit. It is assumed that whether the terminal device supports sending the measurement report of the event triggered reporting and the measurement report of the non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously is indicated by 1 bit. If the bit is set as “0”, it indicates that the terminal device does not support sending the measurement report of the event triggered reporting and the measurement report of the non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously; if the bit is set as “1”, it indicates that the terminal device supports sending the measurement report of the event triggered reporting and the measurement report of the non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously, and vice versa. For example, if the bit is set as “1”, it indicates that the terminal device does not support sending the measurement report of the event triggered reporting and the measurement report of the non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously; if the bit is set as “0”, it indicates that the terminal device supports sending the measurement report of the event triggered reporting and the measurement report of the non-event triggered reporting at the same reporting resource or simultaneously.

[0391] The above is an example description, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The terminal device can indicate various information related to the events supported by the terminal device to the network device.

[0392] S520, the first device sends X measurement reports and / or the first information to the second device through the first reporting resource.

[0393] Correspondingly, the second device receives X measurement reports and / or the first information from the first device through the first reporting resource.

[0394] Optionally, the number of reported measurement reports can depend on the scheduling resource of the network device, and / or the capability information of the terminal device. For example, the capability information of the terminal device supports reporting at most X measurement reports, or the resource scheduled by the network device for the terminal device supports reporting at most X measurement reports.

[0395] That is, the first device can report one or more measurement reports on a signaling or a reporting resource (or an uplink resource). Optionally, the signaling can be a MAC CE signaling or a UCI signaling. The uplink resource can be a PUCCH resource or a PUSCH resource, specifically, a periodic PUCCH resource, a non-periodic PUSCH resource, a semi-persistent PUCCH resource, a semi-persistent PUSCH resource, or the like. Optionally, the network device can configure only one or more first reporting resources, i.e., each of the R cells corresponds to the same reporting resource, or all event-triggered measurement report configurations (e.g., K) correspond to the same reporting resource, or all measurement report configurations (e.g., X1) correspond to the same reporting resource event, i.e., the event-triggered measurement report configuration and the non-event-triggered measurement report configuration correspond to the same reporting resource.

[0396] As an example, the M first measurement reports of the X measurement reports include S event-related measurement results corresponding to the R cells, and the S events corresponding to the R cells are the events that occur. Alternatively, the R cells are the cells in which the events occur, and the S events are the events that occur, i.e., at least one event occurs in each of the R cells. In other words, the S events corresponding to the R cells are the events that occur on the R cells, e.g., the S events corresponding to the R cells can be at least one of the events #A to #K described above. It can be understood that the occurrence of an event triggers the reporting, i.e., triggers the reporting of the measurement report corresponding to the event.

[0397] The correspondence between the M first measurement reports and the S event-related measurement results corresponding to the R cells is not limited. For example, one first measurement report can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to one cell, or one first measurement report can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to one cell, or one first measurement report can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to multiple cells, or one first measurement report can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to multiple cells, or multiple first measurement reports can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to one cell, or multiple first measurement reports can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to one cell, or multiple first measurement reports can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to multiple cells, or multiple first measurement reports can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to multiple cells, without limitation.

[0398] Optionally, the measurement report #b in the M first measurement reports further comprises at least one of the following: information of the first cell, information of the second cell, or an index of a measurement report configuration to which the measurement report #b corresponds. The measurement report configuration to which the measurement report #b corresponds belongs to the first cell, and the measurement report #b is obtained by measuring a reference signal on a reference signal resource of the second cell. The information of the first cell or the information of the second cell can be any one of a handover candidate cell ID, a non-serving cell ID, a CC index, a PCI, an index of a serving cell, or an additional PCI index. The index of the measurement report configuration to which the measurement report #b corresponds can be a CSI report configuration identifier (CSI-ReportConfigId) or an event-triggered report configuration index.

[0399] Optionally, the measurement result carried in the first measurement report can comprise at least one of the following: a report parameter corresponding to the event (for example, at least one or more of the aforementioned report parameters #1 to #13) or a report number corresponding to each report parameter.

[0400] Optionally, the first information can also not be carried in the first report resource. For example, the first information is carried in a second report resource. The second report resource can be a PUCCH resource or a PUSCH resource. Optionally, the time domain position of the second report resource cannot be later than that of the first report resource, or the time domain position of the second report resource is earlier than or the same as that of the first report resource, without limitation.

[0401] Optionally, the first information and the X measurement reports can be simultaneously carried in the first report resource. The present application does not limit the positions of the first information and the X measurement reports. For example, the first information can be located before the X measurement reports, or the first information can be located after the X measurement reports. Optionally, the first information and the X measurement reports can be simultaneously carried in the first report resource. The first information and the X measurement reports can be independently encoded to generate two UCI bit sequences, or the first information and the X measurement reports can be jointly encoded to generate one UCI bit sequence.

[0402] Next, the first device sends X measurement reports and / or first information to the second device through the first report resource will be described in combination with the following scenarios one, two or three.

[0403] Scenario one: the first device sends X measurement reports to the second device through the first report resource. The measurement report #a in the X measurement reports comprises the first indication information and / or the second indication information; or the measurement report #a in the X measurement reports comprises the first indication information, and the measurement report #b in the M first measurement reports comprises the third indication information; or the measurement report #b in the M first measurement reports comprises the third indication information.

[0404] The first indication information is used for indicating a triggering mode (e.g., event-triggered reporting and non-event-triggered reporting) of the measurement report #a, or is used for indicating a type of the measurement report #a, or is used for indicating whether the measurement report #a corresponds to a non-event-triggered reporting configuration, or is used for indicating whether the measurement report #a corresponds to an event-triggered reporting configuration, or is used for indicating that the measurement report #a corresponds to an event-triggered reporting configuration or a non-event-triggered reporting configuration, and the like.

[0405] The second indication information is used for indicating whether the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in X measurement reports, or whether there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, or whether the measurement report #a is the last measurement report, or whether the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in a first reporting resource, or whether the measurement report #a is the last event-triggered measurement report or the first measurement report in X measurement reports, or whether there is an event-triggered measurement report or a first measurement report after the measurement report #a, or whether there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, or whether P bits after the measurement report #a are measurement reports, wherein the P bits are a load size of the measurement report.

[0406] The third indication information is used for indicating whether the measurement report #b is the last measurement report in M first measurement reports, or whether there is an event-triggered measurement report or a first measurement report after the measurement report #b, or whether the measurement report #b is the last event-triggered measurement report or the first measurement report in a first reporting resource, or whether there is an event-triggered measurement report or a first measurement report after the measurement report #b.

[0407] It can be understood that the measurement report #a refers to a measurement report in which the first indication information or the second indication information is located, and the measurement report #b refers to a measurement report in which the third indication information is located.

[0408] It can be understood that the measurement report #a can be one or more measurement reports. The measurement report #a can be one or more of the X measurement reports, for example, the measurement report #a can be the first measurement report and / or the second measurement report, or the measurement report #a can also be each of the X measurement reports. That is, the first indication information and / or the second indication information are carried in one or more of the X measurement reports sent by the first device to the second device through the first reporting resource. The measurement report #b can be any of the M first measurement reports, or can also be each of the M first measurement reports, that is, the third indication information is carried in one or more of the M first measurement reports sent by the first device to the second device through the first reporting resource. No limitation is made.

[0409] Exemplarily, the first indication information is indicated by 1 bit or the first indication information occupies 1 bit. For example, bit "1" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is event triggered reporting, or bit "0" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is non-event triggered reporting, or vice versa, for example, bit "0" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is event triggered reporting, or bit "1" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is non-event triggered reporting. For example, bit "1" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is event triggered reporting, or bit "0" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is not event triggered reporting, or vice versa, for example, bit "0" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is event triggered reporting, or bit "1" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is not event triggered reporting. For example, bit "1" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is non-event triggered reporting, or bit "0" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is not non-event triggered reporting, or vice versa, for example, bit "0" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is non-event triggered reporting, or bit "1" indicates that the triggering mode of the measurement report #a is not non-event triggered reporting.

[0410] Exemplarily, the second indication information occupies 1 bit, or the first indication information occupies 1 bit. For example, bit "1" indicates that the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is no measurement report after the measurement report #a, or the measurement report #a is the last measurement report, or the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in the first reporting resource, or the measurement report #a is the last event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is no event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is no measurement report after the measurement report #a, or P bits after the measurement report #a are not measurement reports; bit "0" indicates that the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, or the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report, or the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in the first reporting resource, or the measurement report #a is not the last event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is an event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, or P bits after the measurement report #a are measurement reports. The P bits are the load size of the measurement report. Conversely, bit "0" indicates that the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is no measurement report after the measurement report #a, or the measurement report #a is the last measurement report, or the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in the first reporting resource, or the measurement report #a is the last event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is no event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is no measurement report after the measurement report #a, or P bits after the measurement report #a are not measurement reports; bit "1" indicates that the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, or the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report, or the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in the first reporting resource, or the measurement report #a is not the last event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report in X measurement reports, or there is an event triggered measurement report or the first measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, or P bits after the measurement report #a are measurement reports. The P bits are the load size of the measurement report.

[0411] Exemplarily, the third indication information occupies 1 bit, or the first indication information occupies 1 bit. For example, bit "1" indicates that the measurement report #b is the last one of the M first measurement reports, or there is no event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b, or the measurement report #b is the last event triggered measurement report or first measurement report in the first reporting resource, or there is no event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b; bit "0" indicates that the measurement report #b is not the last one of the M first measurement reports, or there is event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b, or the measurement report #b is not the last event triggered measurement report or first measurement report in the first reporting resource, or there is event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b. Conversely, for example, bit "0" indicates that the measurement report #b is the last one of the M first measurement reports, or there is no event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b, or the measurement report #b is the last event triggered measurement report or first measurement report in the first reporting resource, or there is no event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b; bit "1" indicates that the measurement report #b is not the last one of the M first measurement reports, or there is event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b, or the measurement report #b is not the last event triggered measurement report or first measurement report in the first reporting resource, or there is event triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the measurement report #b.

[0412] Optionally, the application does not limit how many bits or what form the first indication information, the second indication information and the third indication information are represented by.

[0413] Optionally, the specific position of the first indication information or the second indication information in the measurement report #a is not limited in the present application. For example, the first indication information can be located in the last bit of the measurement report #a, i.e. the last bit of the P bit; or it can also be located in the first bit of the measurement report #a, i.e. the first bit of the P bit. For example, the second indication information can be located in the last bit of the measurement report #a, i.e. the last bit of the P bit; or it can also be located in the first bit of the measurement report #a, i.e. the first bit of the P bit. Optionally, when the first indication information and the second indication information exist in the measurement report at the same time, the first indication information and the second indication information can be adjacent or not adjacent in the measurement report #a, the first indication information can be located before the second indication information, or the first indication information can also be located after the second indication information. Optionally, the first indication information and / or the second indication information can be located at any position in the measurement report #a. Optionally, if the load size p required by the reporting content contained in the measurement report #a is smaller than the load size P bit of the measurement report #a, P-p bits in the measurement report #a are filled with a predefined value, the first indication information can be located after the reporting content and before the filled special value, i.e. the first indication information or the second indication information is located at the first bit after the p bits, or the first indication information or the second indication information can also be located after the filled special value, i.e. the last bit of the P bit, which is not limited.

[0414] In Example 1, the measurement report #a in the X measurement reports includes the first indication information and / or the second indication information.

[0415] In an implementation manner, the measurement report #a in the X measurement reports includes the first indication information, and the measurement report #a is one or more measurement reports in the X measurement reports. It is indicated that the first indication information is carried in one or more measurement reports in the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device, which is used to indicate the triggering mode of the currently reported measurement report #a. That is to say, the network device can determine the triggering mode of one or more measurement reports in the received X measurement reports, i.e. whether the one or more measurement reports in the received X measurement reports are event-triggered measurement reports or non-event-triggered measurement reports.

[0416] For example, as shown in Table 1 below, the terminal device reports X measurement reports on the first reporting resource, the X measurement reports include M first measurement reports (e.g., first measurement report #1, first measurement report #2, …, first measurement report #M) and N second measurement reports (e.g., second measurement report #1, second measurement report #2, …, second measurement report #N), the first measurement reports are triggered in an event-triggered reporting manner, the second measurement reports are triggered in a non-event-triggered reporting manner, and M and N are integers greater than or equal to 0. It can be understood that M+N=X. Each of the X measurement reports includes first indication information for indicating a triggering manner of the measurement report. For example, the first indication information is a bit "1" for indicating that the triggering manner of the measurement report is the event-triggered reporting, the first indication information is a bit "0" for indicating that the triggering manner of the measurement report is the non-event-triggered reporting, and the table below takes this as an example, and vice versa. Alternatively, the arrangement order of the X measurement reports is not limited, and the table below is only an example.

[0417] Table 1

[0418] In another implementation manner, a measurement report#a in the X measurement reports includes second indication information, the measurement report#a is one or more of the X measurement reports, and the second indication information carried in one or more of the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device is used to indicate whether the currently reported measurement report#a is the last measurement report in the X measurement reports or whether there is a measurement report after the currently reported measurement report#a. For example, the second indication information is "1" to indicate that the currently reported measurement report#a is not the last measurement report in the X measurement reports or that there is a measurement report after the currently reported measurement report#a; and the second indication information is "0" to indicate that the currently reported measurement report#a is the last measurement report in the X measurement reports or that there is no measurement report after the currently reported measurement report#a.

[0419] For example, as shown in Table 2 below, the terminal device reports X measurement reports (e.g., measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, measurement report #X) on the first reporting resource. Each of the X measurement reports includes second indication information for indicating whether the measurement report is the last measurement report. For example, the second indication information is a bit "1" to indicate that the current measurement report is not the last one, or the second indication information is a bit "0" to indicate that the current measurement report is the last one, for example, measurement report #X in the table below is the last one of the X measurement reports, and the table below takes this as an example, and vice versa. Alternatively, the arrangement order of the X measurement reports is not limited, and the table below is only an example.

[0420] Table 2

[0421] In yet another implementation, a measurement report#a of the X measurement reports includes the first indication information and the second indication information, and the measurement report#a is one or more of the X measurement reports, which indicates that the first indication information and the second indication information are carried in one or more of the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device, and are used to indicate the triggering manner of the currently reported measurement report#a, and are used to indicate whether the currently reported measurement report#a is the last measurement report of the X measurement reports or whether there is a measurement report after the currently reported measurement report#a. That is, the network device can determine the triggering manner of one or more of the X measurement reports received, whether it is event triggered or non-event triggered, and also can determine whether one or more of the measurement reports is the last measurement report of the X measurement reports.

[0422] For example, as shown in Table 3 below, the terminal device reports X measurement reports on a first reporting resource, the X measurement reports include M first measurement reports (for example, first measurement report#1, first measurement report#2, …, first measurement report#M) and N second measurement reports (for example, second measurement report#1, second measurement report#2, …, second measurement report#N), the triggering manner of the first measurement report is event triggered reporting, the triggering manner of the second measurement report is non-event triggered reporting, and M and N are both integers greater than or equal to 0. It can be understood that M+N=X. Each of the X measurement reports includes first indication information, which is used to indicate the triggering manner of the measurement report. For example, the first indication information is a bit “1” indicating that the triggering manner of the measurement report is event triggered reporting, or the first indication information is a bit “0” indicating that the triggering manner of the measurement report is non-event triggered reporting, and the table takes this as an example, and vice versa. Each of the X measurement reports includes second indication information, which is used to indicate whether the measurement report is the last measurement report. For example, the second indication information is a bit “1” indicating that the current measurement report is not the last one, or the second indication information is a bit “0” indicating that the current measurement report is the last one, for example, the second measurement report#N in the table is the last one of the X measurement reports, and the table takes this as an example, and vice versa. Optionally, the arrangement order of the X measurement reports is not limited, and the table is only an example.

[0423] Table 3

[0424] Example 2, the measurement report#a of the X measurement reports includes the first indication information, and the measurement report#b of the M first measurement reports includes the third indication information.

[0425] In an implementation manner, the measurement report #a in the X measurement reports comprises the first indication information, and the measurement report #b in the M first measurement reports comprises the third indication information. The measurement report #a is one or more measurement reports in the X measurement reports, and the measurement report #b is one or more measurement reports in the M first measurement reports, that is, the first indication information and the third indication information are included in one or more first measurement reports in the M first measurement reports reported by the terminal device, and the first indication information is included in one or more second measurement reports in the N second measurement reports reported by the terminal device, which indicates that the first indication information is carried in one or more measurement reports in the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device, and is used to indicate the triggering mode of the currently reported measurement report #b, that is, the network device can determine whether the triggering mode of one or more measurement reports in the X measurement reports received is event triggering or non-event triggering, or in other words, the network device can determine whether one or more measurement reports in the X measurement reports received are event triggered measurement reports or non-event triggered measurement reports. Meanwhile, the third indication information is carried in one or more first measurement reports in the M first measurement reports in the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device, which is used to indicate whether the currently reported measurement report #b is the last measurement report in the M first measurement reports, or whether there is an event triggered measurement report or a first measurement report after the currently reported measurement report #b.

[0426] For example, as shown in Table 4 below, the terminal device reports X measurement reports on the first reporting resource, the X measurement reports include M first measurement reports (e.g., first measurement report #1, first measurement report #2, …, first measurement report #M) and N second measurement reports (e.g., second measurement report #1, second measurement report #2, …, second measurement report #N), the first measurement reports are triggered in an event-triggered manner, the second measurement reports are triggered in a non-event-triggered manner, and M and N are integers greater than or equal to 0. It can be understood that M+N=X. Each of the X measurement reports includes first indication information for indicating a triggering manner of the measurement report. For example, the first indication information is a bit "1" indicating that the triggering manner of the measurement report is the event-triggered manner, or the first indication information is a bit "0" indicating that the triggering manner of the measurement report is the non-event-triggered manner, and the table below takes this as an example, and vice versa. Each of the M first measurement reports includes third indication information for indicating whether the measurement report is the last one of the M first measurement reports. For example, the third indication information is a bit "1" indicating that the current measurement report is not the last first measurement report, or the third indication information is a bit "0" indicating that the current measurement report is the last first measurement report, and the table below takes this as an example, and vice versa. In the table below, the first measurement report #M is the last one of the M first measurement reports, and the arrangement order of the X measurement reports is not limited, and the table below is only an example.

[0427] Table 4

[0428] In Example 3, the measurement report #b of the M first measurement reports includes the third indication information.

[0429] In an implementation manner, the measurement report #b of the M first measurement reports includes the third indication information. The measurement report #b is one or more of the M first measurement reports, that is, the third indication information is included in one or more of the M first measurement reports reported by the terminal device, which indicates that the third indication information is carried in one or more of the M first measurement reports of the X measurement reports reported by the terminal device, for indicating whether the currently reported measurement report #b is the last one of the M first measurement reports, or whether there is an event-triggered measurement report or first measurement report after the currently reported measurement report #b.

[0430] For example, as shown in Table 5 below, the terminal device reports X measurement reports on the first reporting resource, the X measurement reports include M first measurement reports (e.g., first measurement report #1, first measurement report #2, …, first measurement report #M) and N second measurement reports (e.g., second measurement report #1, second measurement report #2, …, second measurement report #N), the first measurement reports are triggered in an event-triggered reporting manner, the second measurement reports are triggered in a non-event-triggered reporting manner, and M and N are integers greater than or equal to 0. It can be understood that M+N=X. Each of the M first measurement reports includes third indication information, which is used to indicate whether the measurement report is the last one of the M first measurement reports. For example, the third indication information is a bit "1", which indicates that the current measurement report is not the last first measurement report, or the third indication information is a bit "0", which indicates that the current measurement report is the last first measurement report. The following table takes this as an example, and vice versa. In the following table, the first measurement report #M is the last one of the M first measurement reports. Alternatively, the arrangement order of the X measurement reports is not limited, and the following table is only an example.

[0431] Table 5

[0432] Case two: the first device sends the first information to the second device through the first reporting resource.

[0433] The first information is used to indicate the triggering manner of the measurement report#a of the X=M+N measurement reports, for example, event-triggered reporting and non-event-triggered reporting.

[0434] As an example, the first information can be in the form of bitmap, the size of the first information can be X bits, and the X bits one-to-one correspond to the X measurement reports, for example, a bit "1" represents the triggering manner of the event-triggered reporting, a bit "0" represents the triggering manner of the non-event-triggered reporting, and vice versa. For example, X=4, corresponding to measurement report #1, measurement report #2, measurement report #3 and measurement report #4, respectively, if the first information is "1010", it can be understood that: the measurement report #1 and the measurement report #3 sent by the first device to the second device through the first reporting resource are event-triggered measurement reports, and the measurement report #2 and the measurement report #4 are non-event-triggered measurement reports. Alternatively, the X bits correspond to the X measurement reports from high to low or from low to high in priority.

[0435] For example, as shown in Table 6 below, the terminal device reports X measurement reports on the first reporting resource, the X measurement reports include M first measurement reports (first measurement report #1, first measurement report #2, …, first measurement report #M, respectively) and N second measurement reports (second measurement report #1, second measurement report #2, …, second measurement report #N, respectively), the trigger mode of the first measurement report is event-triggered reporting, the trigger mode of the second measurement report is non-event-triggered reporting, and M and N are both integers greater than or equal to 0. It can be understood that M+N=X. The first information occupies X bits, and the X bits from high to low correspond to the trigger modes of the X measurement reports from front to back in sequence. For example, a bit "1" in the X bits indicates that the trigger mode is event-triggered reporting, and a bit "0" indicates that the trigger mode is non-event-triggered reporting, and vice versa.

[0436] Table 6

[0437] Case three: The first device sends X measurement reports and the first information to the second device through the first reporting resource.

[0438] Among the X measurement reports, the measurement report#a includes the second indication information, and the specific interpretation of the second indication information and the first information can refer to the related description of the above case one or case two, which will not be described here for brevity.

[0439] For example, in this case, the first device sends X measurement reports and the first information to the second device, and the measurement report#a in the X measurement reports includes the second indication information. Correspondingly, the second device can not only know whether each measurement report in the X measurement reports is the last measurement report, but also know the trigger mode of each measurement report received.

[0440] Alternatively, the measurement report#b in the M first measurement reports in the X measurement reports includes the third indication information, and the specific interpretation of the third indication information and the first information can refer to the related description of the above case one or case two, which will not be described here for brevity.

[0441] For example, in this case, the first device sends X measurement reports and the first information to the second device, and the measurement report#b in the M first measurement reports in the X measurement reports includes the third indication information. Correspondingly, the second device can not only know whether each first measurement report in the M first measurement reports is the last first measurement report, but also know the trigger mode of each measurement report received.

[0442] Next, the determination of the load size of the M first measurement reports in the X measurement reports reported by the first device is described in the following in the manner one, the manner two, the manner three, or the manner four.

[0443] In the present application, the load size of the measurement report refers to the load size included or occupied by the measurement report, or the bit number / bit space / bit width included or occupied by the measurement report, or the space / reserved load size / bit number / bit space / bit width of the measurement report, etc. That is, the space / reporting space / bit space / reporting bit space / load size / reporting load size / bit number / reporting bit number / bit width / reporting payload size, or payload size, etc. in the present application can be replaced by each other. For ease of description, the load size is taken as an example in the following description.

[0444] The manner one: the load sizes of the M first measurement reports are the same, or the load sizes of the M-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports are the same as the load size of the first measurement report. The first measurement report can be understood as the measurement report arranged at the beginning of the M first measurement reports.

[0445] It can be understood that the load sizes of the other M-1 measurement reports in the M first measurement reports are the same as the load size of the first measurement report reported in the M first measurement reports. For ease of description, the determination manner of the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports is taken as an example in the following description. The determination manners of the load sizes of the other M-1 measurement reports are similar and are not described herein.

[0446] In an implementation manner, the load size of the first measurement report reported in the M first measurement reports is determined according to the measurement report with the largest required load size in the load sizes of the W1 event triggered measurement reports corresponding to the W1 event triggered measurement report configurations. The X1 measurement report configurations include W1 measurement report configurations in the step S501b, the W1 measurement report configurations correspond to the W1 measurement reports one by one, W1 is a positive integer greater than or equal to X and less than or equal to X1. The W1 measurement report configurations are associated with T1 events corresponding to Q1 cells, the Q1 cells belong to R1 cells, the T1 events belong to S1 events, Q1 is a positive integer less than or equal to R1, and T1 is a positive integer less than or equal to S1.

[0447] Optionally, the load size of the first measurement report reported in the M first measurement reports is determined according to the measurement report with the required load size greater than or equal to a threshold value in the load sizes of the W1 event triggered measurement reports corresponding to the W1 event triggered measurement report configurations, for example, the measurement report with the largest load size.

[0448] In an example, the W1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the W1 measurement reports can be associated with the first reporting resource, that is, the W1 measurement reports can be transmitted through the first reporting resource, or that the W1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the W1 measurement reports are all the measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource, or the W1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the W1 measurement reports are all the measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource and related to the event triggered reporting with the reporting quantity. Optionally, W1 is equal to Q1, that is, the W1 measurement report configurations are the Q1 measurement report configurations.

[0449] In another example, W1 = X1, that is, the W1 measurement report configurations are the X1 measurement report configurations in the step S501b, and Q1 = R1 and T1 = S1. In one possible understanding, the W1 measurement report configurations are all the measurement report configurations associated with the event triggered reporting or all the measurement report configurations associated with the event triggered reporting with the reporting quantity of the terminal device. Optionally, the W1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the W1 measurement reports can be associated with the same or different reporting resources, and the same or different reporting resources include the first reporting resource.

[0450] Example 1: The load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports is determined according to the event with the largest load size of the measurement results related to the reported event in the T1 events corresponding to the Q1 cells.

[0451] Optionally, the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports is determined according to the event with the load size greater than or equal to a threshold value of the measurement results related to the reported event in the T1 events corresponding to the Q1 cells, for example, the event with the largest load size.

[0452] Step 1: Determine the load size required by each event in the T1 events.

[0453] For example, taking the first event as an example, the load size required by the measurement results related to the first event in the T1 events is determined according to one or more reporting parameters corresponding to the first event and the reporting number of the one or more reporting parameters.

[0454] Optionally, the first event can be a predefined event, or an event indicated by the network device to the terminal device, or an event indicated by the terminal device to the network device. Optionally, the first event can be one or more events in the T1 events, that is, the load size required by each event in the T1 events is determined according to one or more reporting parameters corresponding to each event and the reporting number of the one or more reporting parameters.

[0455] Exemplarily, the terminal device determines a reporting parameter corresponding to a first event of T1 events, and a reporting number of each reporting parameter. Wherein, one or more reporting parameters corresponding to the first event of T1 events, and a maximum reporting number corresponding to each reporting parameter can be predefined or preconfigured, can be indicated by the network device through signaling, or determined by the terminal device, which is not limited. Correspondingly, the terminal device reserves a reporting space corresponding to the event according to the maximum reporting number of each reporting parameter determined by at least one of the configuration, the predefinition, and the terminal capability. The reporting space is the sum of the product of the maximum reporting number of each reporting parameter corresponding to the event and the load size required by each reporting parameter.

[0456] For example, assuming that there is a first event (for example, event #1) occurring, the event #1 can be one of the aforementioned events #A to #K. If the reporting parameter corresponding to the event #1 includes a reporting parameter #x when the event #1 occurs, the reporting parameter #x can be any one of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13. Assuming that the load size required for reporting one reporting parameter #x is a, if k reporting parameter #x needs to be reported when the event #1 occurs, the load size required for the terminal device to report the measurement result related to the event #1 is a*k, k is a positive integer.

[0457] For another example, assuming that there are first events (for example, event #2 and event #3) occurring, the event #2 or event #3 can be one of the aforementioned events #A to #K. If the reporting parameter corresponding to the event #2 includes a reporting parameter #y and a reporting parameter #z when the event #2 occurs, the reporting parameter #y and the reporting parameter #z can be any one of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13. The number of reporting parameter #y and reporting parameter #z required to be reported when the event #2 occurs is m and n respectively, the reporting parameter corresponding to the event #3 includes a reporting parameter #y and a reporting parameter #f, the reporting parameter #y and the reporting parameter #f can be any one of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13. The number of reporting parameter #y and reporting parameter #f required to be reported when the event #3 occurs is f and g respectively, the load sizes required by the reporting parameter #y, the reporting parameter #z and the reporting parameter #f are a, b and c respectively, then the load size required for reporting the measurement result related to the event #2 is a*m+b*n, the load size required for reporting the measurement result related to the event #3 is b*f+c*g. The k, m, n, f, g are all positive integers.

[0458] Optionally, the measurement result corresponding to at least two events of the T1 events is different in size. For example, the T1 events include event 1, event 2 and event 3, wherein the measurement result corresponding to event 1 is a, the measurement result corresponding to event 2 is b, the measurement result corresponding to event 3 is c, a, b and c are not equal; or the measurement result corresponding to event 1 and event 2 is a, the measurement result corresponding to event 3 is b, a and b are not equal.

[0459] Optionally, if the number of the reporting parameters satisfying the event occurrence condition is less than the maximum number of the reporting parameters configured by the network side, the terminal device can report the remaining space in any of the following ways.

[0460] (1) filling a predefined value, for example, filling 0;

[0461] (2) reporting the measurement corresponding to the reporting parameter that does not satisfy the event condition;

[0462] (3) repeatedly reporting the measurement corresponding to the reporting parameter that satisfies the event condition;

[0463] (4) reporting the measurement corresponding to other reporting parameters.

[0464] For example, the number of reporting parameter #x (for example, 3) satisfying event #1 condition is less than the maximum number of reporting parameter #x (for example, 4) configured by the network side, then for the occurrence of event #1, the terminal device can report 3 measurement of reporting parameter #x satisfying event #1 condition, and can report the empty space (i.e. the remaining 1 reporting space corresponding to reporting parameter #x) in any of the following ways. Wherein, the event #1 can be one of the aforementioned events #A to #K, and the reporting parameter #x can be any of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13.

[0465] (1) filling a predefined value, for example, filling 0;

[0466] (2) reporting the measurement corresponding to the reporting parameter #x that does not satisfy the event #1 condition, i.e. reporting 1 reporting parameter #x that does not satisfy the event #1 condition;

[0467] (3) repeatedly reporting the measurement corresponding to the reporting parameter #x that satisfies the event condition, i.e. reporting 3 of any of the reporting parameter #x that satisfies the event #1 condition.

[0468] (4) reporting the measurement corresponding to other reporting parameters, for example, reporting the measurement corresponding to reporting parameter #y.

[0469] For example, assuming that the reporting parameters corresponding to event q include reporting parameter #1 (e.g., a second beam index) and reporting parameter #2 (e.g., a second beam quality), the maximum reporting number of reporting parameter #1 and reporting parameter #2 is n3 and n4 respectively, for example, n3 = 3, n4 = 3; when the number of second beams satisfying the event q condition is n1, for example, n1 = 2, then the terminal device can report n1 = 2 second beam indexes and n1 = 2 second beam qualities corresponding thereto, and for the positions of the remaining n3-n1 = 1 second beam indexes and n4-n1 = 1 second beam qualities, the terminal device can fill in special values (e.g., all 0); or, the terminal device can report n3 = 3 second beam indexes and n4 = 3 second beam qualities corresponding thereto, wherein n1 = 2 second beam indexes and n1 = 2 second beam qualities corresponding thereto satisfy the event q condition, and the other n3-n1 = 1 second beam indexes and n4-n1 = 1 second beam qualities do not satisfy the event q condition; or, the terminal device can select n3-n1 = 1 second beam indexes and n4-n1 = 1 second beam qualities corresponding thereto from n1 = 2 second beam indexes and n1 = 2 second beam qualities corresponding thereto that satisfy the event condition and report them repeatedly; or, the terminal device can report n3-n1 = 1 serving beam indexes and n4-n1 = 1 serving beam qualities corresponding thereto. It can be understood that the event q in the example of the present application can be one of the aforementioned event #A to event #K.

[0470] Optionally, if the reporting number of a certain reporting parameter satisfying the event occurrence condition is greater than or equal to the maximum reporting number of the reporting parameter configured by the network side, for example, the reporting number of a certain reporting parameter satisfying the event occurrence condition is equal to the maximum reporting number of the reporting parameter configured by the network side, the terminal device can report all the measurement quantities of the certain reporting parameter satisfying the event occurrence condition, and the reporting space is the sum of the product of the reporting number corresponding to each reporting parameter of the event and the load size required by each reporting parameter. For another example, if the reporting number of a certain reporting parameter satisfying the event occurrence condition is greater than the maximum reporting number of the reporting parameter configured by the network side, the terminal device can report the measurement quantities of the certain reporting parameter satisfying the maximum reporting number in a predefined or preconfigured order, and the reporting space is the sum of the product of the reporting number corresponding to each reporting parameter in the maximum reporting number of the event and the load size required by each reporting parameter.

[0471] For example, the maximum number of reporting parameters #a and reporting parameters #b configured by the network side is n1 and n2, the number of reporting parameters #a satisfying the event q condition is n, which is greater than or equal to n1, the number of reporting parameters #b satisfying the event q condition is m, which is greater than or equal to n2, n and m are integers greater than or equal to 1, the event q can be one of the events #A to #K, and the reporting parameter #a or the reporting parameter #b can be any one of the reporting parameters #1 to #13. For example, if n is equal to n1 and m is equal to n2, the terminal device reports the measurement quantity of n reporting parameters #a satisfying the event q condition and the measurement quantity of m reporting parameters #b satisfying the event q condition, and the load size required for the terminal device to report the measurement result related to the event q is S=P1*n1+P2*n2, P1 and P2 are the load sizes required for the reporting parameters #a and the reporting parameters #b, respectively. If n is greater than n1 and m is greater than n2, the terminal device can report the measurement quantity of n1 reporting parameters #a satisfying the event q condition and the measurement quantity of n2 reporting parameters #b satisfying the event q condition according to the pre-defined or pre-configured order, at this time, there are n-n1 reporting parameters #a satisfying the event q condition and m-n2 reporting parameters #b satisfying the event q condition that are not reported (or discarded), and the load size required for the terminal device to report the measurement result related to the event q is S=P1*n1+P2*n2, P1 and P2 are the load sizes required for the reporting parameters #a and the reporting parameters #b, respectively.

[0472] Step two, determine the event with the largest required load size in Q1 cells, and the load size required for the measurement result related to the event is the load size of the first measurement report reported in the M first measurement reports. That is, the event with the largest required load size in T1 events corresponding to Q1 cells is the event whose load size required for the measurement result is the load size of the first measurement report reported in the M first measurement reports.

[0473] Exemplarily, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol specifies that the terminal device associates K CCs, e.g., CC#1, CC#2, …, CC#K, with event-triggered reporting, wherein CC#1 supports event-triggered reporting of event 1 and event 2, CC#2 supports event-triggered reporting of event a and event b, …, and CC#K supports event-triggered reporting of event i and event ii. Wherein the required payload size of each event-related measurement result in each of the K CCs can be determined according to the above step one, if the required payload size of the event-related measurement result in all events of the K CCs is the largest in event i of CC#K, and the corresponding payload size is Xi, then the terminal device determines that the required payload size of the event i-related measurement result is the payload size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports, i.e., the payload size F = Xi. That is, the payload size of each measurement report in the M first measurement reports is F = Xi.

[0474] As shown in Table 7 below, it is assumed that the network device configures multiple cells for the terminal device, e.g., CC#1, CC#2, and CC#3 are associated with event-triggered reporting, and the required payload sizes of the measurement results related to all events (e.g., event 1, event 2, event a, event b, event i, and event ii) of the three CCs are Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6, respectively. The Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 can be determined by the above step one, which is not described herein. Wherein Z3 is the largest, and the terminal device can determine that the required payload size of the event a-related measurement result is the payload size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports, i.e., the payload size F = Z3.

[0475] Table 7

[0476] Optionally, when there is one or more events on one or more CCs, and the required payload size of the event-related measurement result of the one or more CCs is less than Xi, then the remaining positions can be filled with special values; when the required payload size of the event-related measurement result of the one or more CCs is greater than Xi, then the redundant part can be discarded according to the predefined priority.

[0477] For example, if only one event of one CC occurs, for example, event 1 of CC#1 occurs, the payload size of event 1 of CC#1 corresponding to the required size x1 is less than Xi, then the remaining space is filled with a special value, for example, all 0, and the corresponding load size is Xi-x1. If there are event 1 and event 2 of CC#1 and event b of CC#2, the required load size x1+x2+Xa of the measurement results related to event 1, event 2 and event b is greater than Xi, then the excess part is discarded according to the predefined priority, for example, the reporting priority of CC#1 is higher than that of CC#2, x1+x2 is less than Xi, then the terminal device can report the measurement results related to event 1 and event 2 of CC#1, and discard the measurement results related to event b of CC#2.

[0478] In example 2, the payload size of the first measurement report reported in the M first measurement reports is determined according to the cell with the largest required payload size of the measurement results related to the reported event in the Q1 cells.

[0479] Optionally, the payload size of the first measurement report reported in the M first measurement reports is determined according to the cell with the required payload size of the measurement results related to the reported event greater than or equal to a threshold value in the Q1 cells, for example, the cell with the largest required payload size.

[0480] Step 1: Determine the required payload size of each of the Q1 cells.

[0481] For example, taking the third cell as an example, the required payload size of the measurement results related to the reported event of the third cell in the Q1 cells is determined according to the event with the largest required payload size of the measurement results related to the reported event in the one or more events corresponding to the third cell. That is, the required payload size of the measurement results related to the reported event of one cell in the Q1 cells is determined according to the event with the largest required payload size of the measurement results related to the reported event in the one or more events supported by the one cell.

[0482] For example, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol stipulates that the terminal device is associated with K events of one cell#1 (i.e., the third cell), respectively event 1, event 2, …, event K, and the required payload size of the measurement results related to each event is P1, P2, …, PK, respectively, wherein P1, P2, …, PK can be determined according to step 1 in the foregoing example 1, which is not repeated here. Assuming that the required payload size of the measurement results related to event n in the K events is the largest Pn, then the terminal device determines that the required payload size of the measurement results related to the event triggered reporting of the cell#1 is: Z=Pn. Optionally, event 1, event 2, …, event K can be any one of the foregoing event#A to event#K.

[0483] Optionally, if one or more events occur on the cell #1, when the size of the load required for reporting the measurement results related to the one or more events is less than Z, the remaining positions can be filled with special values, for example, all 0, and the size of the load is Z-x; when the size of the load required for reporting the measurement results related to the one or more events is greater than Z, the excess part can be discarded according to the pre-defined priority order.

[0484] For example, the third cell of the Q1 cells reports the measurement results related to the events, and the size of the load required for reporting the measurement results related to the events is determined according to the sum of the sizes of the loads required for reporting all the measurement results related to the events corresponding to the third cell. That is, the size of the load required for reporting the measurement results related to one cell of the Q1 cells is determined according to the sum of the sizes of the loads required for reporting all the measurement results related to the events supported by the one cell.

[0485] For example, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol stipulates that the K events associated with one cell #1 (i.e., the third cell) of the terminal device are event 1, event 2, …, event K, respectively, and the sizes of the loads required for reporting the measurement results related to each event are P1, P2, …, PK, respectively, wherein P1, P2, …, PK can be determined according to step one in the foregoing example 1, which is not repeated here. Then, the terminal device determines that the size of the payload required for reporting the measurement results triggered by the events related to the cell #1 is Z = P1+P2+…+PK.

[0486] As shown in Table 8, it is assumed that the network device configures multiple cells, for example, CC#1, CC#2 and CC#3, for the terminal device to report the events triggered by the events, and the sizes of the loads required for reporting the measurement results related to the events of the three CCs are Z1, Z2 and Z3, respectively. The Z1, Z2 and Z3 can be determined according to step one described above, which is not repeated here. Since Z2 is the largest, the terminal device can determine that the size of the payload required for reporting the measurement results related to the events of CC#2 is the size of the payload of the first measurement report of the M first measurement reports, i.e., the size of the payload is F = Z2.

[0487] Table 8

[0488] Optionally, if the K events all occur, the terminal device can report the measurement results related to the K events of the cell #1 in the order of reporting each event stipulated by the protocol (for example, the event index is from small to large or from large to small, or other stipulated order), and the order of reporting each event corresponding to the reporting parameter.

[0489] Optionally, when one of the K events (e.g., event 1) occurs, the measurement result related to the event 1 is reported; when one of the K events (e.g., event 2) does not occur, the corresponding reporting position of the event 2 can be filled with a predefined value (e.g., 0), and the length of the predefined value is the load size required by the measurement result related to the event 2. That is, the corresponding position of the event occurring in the K events is filled with the measurement result of the corresponding occurring event, and the corresponding position of the event not occurring is filled with the predefined value (e.g., 0).

[0490] Optionally, when one of the K events (e.g., event 1) occurs, the measurement result related to the event 1 is reported; when one of the K events (e.g., event 2) does not occur, the corresponding reporting position of the event 2 can be filled with a predefined value (e.g., 0), and the length of the predefined value is the load size required by the measurement result related to the event 2. That is, the corresponding position of the event occurring in the K events is filled with the measurement result of the corresponding at least one event satisfying the event, and the corresponding position of the event not occurring is filled with the measurement result not satisfying the event condition.

[0491] For example, the third cell of the Q1 cells reports the measurement result related to the event, and the load size required by the measurement result is determined according to the load size required by the union of all reporting parameters corresponding to T1 events supported by the Q1 cells. That is, the load size required by the measurement result related to a cell in the Q1 cells is determined according to the sum of the load sizes required by the union of all reporting parameters corresponding to all events in the Q1 cells.

[0492] For example, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol stipulates that the K events associated with the cell #1 (i.e., the third cell) of the terminal device are event 1, event 2, …, event K respectively, the union of the reporting parameters corresponding to all the events is reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j, at least one event exists reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j, optionally, reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j can be any one of the foregoing reporting parameters #1-#13, and the payload size required for reporting each reporting parameter is Xa, Xb, … Xj respectively. When at least one event exists reporting parameter #a, the maximum value of the maximum reporting number of reporting parameter #a corresponding to all the events in the at least one event is denoted as Na, which can be understood as, for example, only event 1 and event 2 corresponding to the K events contain reporting parameter #a, the maximum reporting number of reporting parameter #a corresponding to event 1 is 2, and the maximum reporting number of reporting parameter #a corresponding to event 1 is 3, then the maximum value of the maximum reporting number of reporting parameter #a can be called Na=3. By analogy, the maximum values of the maximum reporting numbers of reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j are Na, Nb, …, Nj respectively. Then the payload size required for the terminal device to determine the measurement result triggered by the event reporting of the cell #1 is: S=Xa*Na+Xb*Nb+…+Xj*Nj. That is, if event m and event n in the K events correspond to the same reporting parameter, then one or more measurement quantities corresponding to the reporting parameter can be reported only once without repeated reporting.

[0493] Optionally, if the K events all occur, the terminal device can report the measurement quantities of each reporting parameter in the order of the reporting sequence of each reporting parameter (i.e., reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j) stipulated by the protocol.

[0494] Optionally, when any event corresponding to a certain reporting parameter does not occur, the reporting position of the reporting parameter corresponding to the event can be filled with a predefined value (for example, 0), and the length of the filled predefined value is the payload size required for the measurement quantity of the reporting parameter, or the measurement quantity of the reporting parameter that does not meet the event condition can also be filled. When at least one event corresponding to a certain reporting parameter occurs, the measurement quantity of the reporting parameter is reported once, and further, when the maximum reporting number of the reporting parameter corresponding to the event is less than the configured maximum reporting number of the reporting parameter, the measurement quantity of the reporting parameter corresponding to the event that does not meet the event condition can be filled with a predefined value (for example, 0).

[0495] Optionally, the third cell can be a predefined cell, or a cell indicated by the network device to the terminal device, or a cell indicated by the terminal device to the network device. Optionally, the third cell can be one or more of the Q1 cells.

[0496] Step two, determining the cell with the largest required load size in the Q1 cells, and the required load size of the event-triggered measurement result of the cell is the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports.

[0497] For example, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol specifies that the terminal device is associated with K CCs, such as CC#1, CC#2, …, CC#n, …, CC#K, and the required load size of the event-related measurement result of the K CCs is Z1, Z2, …, Zn, …, ZK, respectively, which can be determined by step one. Wherein, the largest required load size of the event-related measurement result of the CC#n in the K CCs is Zn, and the terminal device determines the required load size of the event-related measurement result of the CC#n, which is the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports, i.e. the payload size is F=Zn. That is, the payload size of each measurement report in the M first measurement reports is F=Zn.

[0498] Optionally, when there is an event occurrence in the CC#1 in the K CCs, the required load size a of the event-related measurement result of the CC#1 is less than F, then the remaining positions are filled with special values, such as all 0, and the corresponding load size is F-a. For specific implementation of event-triggered reporting related to one CC, please refer to the related description of step 2.

[0499] Optionally, when there is an event occurrence in one or more CCs in the K CCs, the required load size b of the event-related measurement result of the event occurrence in the one or more CCs is less than F, then the remaining positions are filled with special values, such as all 0, and the corresponding load size is F-b; when the required load size c of the event-related measurement result of the event occurrence in the one or more CCs is greater than F, then the excess part can be discarded according to the predefined priority, for example, the event-related measurement result of the scell or the neighboring cell can be discarded.

[0500] Example 3, the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports is determined by at least one of signaling indication or configuration by the network device, predefinition, or terminal capability.

[0501] As an example, the first apparatus receives information #2, which is used to indicate the load size of a first measurement report of the M first measurement reports; and determines the load size of the first measurement report of the M first measurement reports according to the information #2. Since the load sizes of the M first measurement reports are the same, the load sizes of the M-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report of the M first measurement reports can be further determined to be the same as the load size of the first measurement report indicated by the information #2.

[0502] Optionally, the load sizes of the M first measurement reports can be determined by at least one of signaling indication or configuration by the network device, predefinition, or terminal capability.

[0503] As an example, the first apparatus receives information #4, which is used to indicate a first load size, which is the load size of each measurement report of the M first measurement reports; and determines the load size of each measurement report of the M first measurement reports to be the first load size according to the information #4. At this time, the load size of the first measurement report of the M first measurement reports and the load sizes of the M-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report of the M first measurement reports are all the first load size.

[0504] Optionally, the first load size belongs to a first set including one or more load sizes, and the network device can select the first load size from the first set as the load size of each measurement report of the M first measurement reports, and then indicate the first load size to the first apparatus. The first set can be predefined or preconfigured, and is not limited. Alternatively, the first set can be replaced by a first group or a first list including the one or more load sizes.

[0505] In yet another implementation manner, the load size required by each measurement report of the M first measurement reports can be determined by at least one of signaling indication or configuration by the network device, predefinition, or terminal capability, the terminal device can select the load size of the measurement report with the largest required load of the M first measurement reports as a second load size, and determine the load size of each measurement report of the M first measurement reports to be the second load size. At this time, the load size of the first measurement report of the M first measurement reports and the load sizes of the M-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report of the M first measurement reports are all the second load size.

[0506] As an example, the first device receives fifth information from the second device, the fifth information is used for configuring the load size required by each of the M first measurement reports in turn g1, g2, …, gn, …, gN, where gn is the maximum value, then the terminal device can determine that the load size of each of the M first measurement reports is gn.

[0507] As shown in Table 9, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with 2 event triggered measurement report configurations, for example, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m, corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k and EventTriggered CSI-Report#m respectively. Among them, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (for example, event 2 and event 3) corresponding to CC#m. It can be understood that in this implementation mode, the load sizes of the two measurement reports corresponding to the two measurement report configurations are the same, for example, P bits. If the event 1 corresponding to the CC#k and the event 2 corresponding to the CC#m meet the event triggering condition, that is, the event 1 and the event 2 occur, and the event 3 does not occur, then the terminal device can send M=2 first measurement reports, for example, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k and EventTriggered CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, R=2, S=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to M cells, that is, the cells where the events occur, and the event 1 and the event 2 belong to X events, that is, the events that occur. The event 1, the event 2 or the event 3 can be one of the aforementioned event#A to event#K, which is not limited.

[0508] Among them, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0509] • Measurement results related to event 1 associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (for example, reporting parameters (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters#1 to reporting parameters#13) corresponding to event 1);

[0510] • The number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 1;

[0511] • information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0512] • index of the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0513] • or information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0514] • third indication information (e.g., bit "1", used to indicate that the EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is not the last measurement report in the M=2 first measurement reports or that there is a measurement report after the EventTriggered CSI-Report#k).

[0515] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is p1 bits, p1 < P, P is the load size of each event-triggered measurement report, i.e., the load size of each first measurement report, then the other P-p1 bits are filled with special values, e.g., all 0.

[0516] wherein the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m includes at least one of the following:

[0517] • measurement result related to event 2 associated with the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., the reporting parameter corresponding to event 2 (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13));

[0518] • the number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 2;

[0519] • information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0520] • index of the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0521] • the information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0522] • the third indication information (e.g., bit "0", indicating that the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is the last one of the M=2 first measurement reports or indicating that there is no measurement report after the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m).

[0523] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2

[0524] Table 9

[0525] As can be seen from the above Table 9, the third indication information in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#k or the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is located after the reporting contents and before the special value filled, optionally, the third indication information can also be located after the special value filled, as shown in the following Table 10, or the third indication information can also be located before the reporting contents, as shown in the following Table 11, the present application does not limit the location of the third indication information in the measurement report.

[0528] The above Tables 1 to 11 are only examples given for the convenience of understanding, and other schemes are not excluded, for example, the present application does not limit the number of the reported measurement reports, the content of the measurement results of the events corresponding to the cells carried in the measurement reports.

[0529] Method two: the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports is fixed, and the other M-1 measurement reports are determined according to the fourth indication information carried in the previous measurement report.

[0530] In other words, the load size of the i-th measurement report in the M first measurement reports is determined according to the fourth indication information carried in the (i-1)-th measurement report, that is, the (i-1)-th measurement report can carry the fourth indication information, which is used to indicate the load size of the first measurement report following the (i-1)-th measurement report, that is, the i-th measurement report, i is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to M.

[0531] Optionally, the load sizes of the M first measurement reports can be different, or among the M-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports, there can be at least one measurement report with the same load size as the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports, which is not limited.

[0532] Step one, determine the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports, the specific implementation mode can refer to the description of the determination mode of the first measurement report in the above mode one, for the sake of brevity, will not be repeated here.

[0533] Step two, determine the load size of the M-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports.

[0534] As an example, according to the fourth indication information carried in the previous measurement report (for example, measurement report #b), the load size of the measurement report (for example, measurement report #B) following the one measurement report is determined. That is, the first M-1 measurement reports in the M first measurement reports can carry one fourth indication information respectively, N-1 fourth indication information is used to indicate the load size of the last M-1 measurement reports in the M first measurement reports. For example, the fourth indication information carried in the first measurement report is used to indicate the load size of the second measurement report, the fourth indication information carried in the second measurement report is used to indicate the load size of the third measurement report, and so on, the fourth indication information carried in the (M-1)-th measurement report is used to indicate the load size of the M-th first measurement report. Optionally, the M-th first measurement report can not carry the fourth indication information, or it can also carry the fourth indication information, at this time the fourth indication information is used to indicate that the load size after the M-th first measurement report is 0 or the fourth indication information is meaningless, which is not limited.

[0535] As shown in Table 12, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with three event triggered measurement report configurations, for example, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#n, corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k, EventTriggered CSI-Report#m and EventTriggered CSI-Report#n respectively. Among them, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (for example, event 2 and event 3) corresponding to CC#m, and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#n is associated with at least one event (for example, event 4 and event 5) corresponding to CC#n. It can be understood that in this implementation manner, the load sizes of the three measurement reports corresponding to the three measurement report configurations can be the same, for example, P bits, or can be different, for example, Q bits, which is not limited. If event 1 corresponding to CC#k and event 3 corresponding to CC#m meet the event triggering condition, that is, event 1 and event 3 occur, and event 2, event 4 and event 5 do not occur, the terminal device can send M=2 measurement reports, for example, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k and EventTriggered CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, R=2 and S=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to R cells, that is, cells in which events occur, and event 1 and event 3 belong to S events, that is, events that occur. Event 1, event 2 or event 3 can be one of the foregoing events#A to events#K, which is not limited.

[0536] Among them, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0537] • Measurement results related to event 1 associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (for example, reporting parameters (such as at least one or more of the foregoing reporting parameters#1 to reporting parameters#13) corresponding to event 1);

[0538] • The number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 1;

[0539] • information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0540] • index of the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0541] • information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0542] • third indication information (e.g., bit "1", used to indicate that EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is not the last measurement report in M=2 first measurement reports or to indicate that there is a measurement report after EventTriggered CSI-Report#k);

[0543] • fourth indication information (e.g., bits, used to indicate that the load size of EventTriggered CSI-Report#m immediately following EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is bits).

[0544] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is p1 bits, p1

[0545] wherein EventTriggered CSI-Report#m includes at least one of the following:

[0546] • measurement result related to event 3 associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., reporting parameters corresponding to event 3 (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13));

[0547] • number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 3;

[0548] • information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0549] • index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0550] • or information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0551] • third indication information (e.g., bit "0", used to indicate that the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is the last one of M=2 first measurement reports or that there is no measurement report after the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m);

[0552] • fourth indication information (e.g., all 0s, used to indicate that the load size after the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is 0, i.e., there is no other measurement report after the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m).

[0553] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2 < Q, the other Q-p2 bits of the second measurement report (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m) of the event triggered reporting are filled with special values, e.g., all 0s.

[0554] Table 12

[0555] From Table 12, the third indication information and / or the fourth indication information in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#k or the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is located after the reporting content and before the special value filled, optionally, the third indication information and / or the fourth indication information can also be located after the special value filled, as shown in Table 13, or the third indication information and / or the fourth indication information can also be located before the reporting content, as shown in Table 14, the present application does not limit the location of the third indication information and / or the fourth indication information in the measurement report. From Tables 12 to 14, the third indication information is located before the fourth indication information, optionally, the third indication information can also be located after the fourth indication information, which is not limited.

[0556] Table 13

[0557] Table 14

[0558] The above Tables 12 to 14 are only examples given for easy understanding, and other schemes are not excluded, for example, the present application does not limit the number of the reported measurement reports, the content of the measurement results of the cells corresponding to the events carried in the measurement reports.

[0559] As another example, according to at least one of the following indication information carried in the previous measurement report, the load size of the measurement report immediately following the one measurement report is determined.

[0560] For example, the measurement report#b in the M first measurement reports further includes at least one of the following: the eighth indication information, the ninth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, and the seventh indication information.

[0561] (1) The eighth indication information is used to indicate the information of the third event, indicating that the measurement report#B after the measurement report#b includes the measurement result related to the third event, and the third event belongs to the S events. It can be understood that the measurement report#B is the first event triggered measurement report immediately following the measurement report#b, the third event is the event that occurs, the third event is associated with the measurement report configuration corresponding to the measurement report#B, or in other words, the third event is the event that occurs on the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to the measurement report#B belongs.

[0562] For example, the size of the eighth indication information can be bits (which can indicate the event index). Wherein, T1 is the number of all events configured by Q1 cells, or the number of different events associated with all report configurations, or the number of all different events configured for the terminal device, or the number of layer 1 (L1) events supported by the protocol. For example, assuming that the network device configures event 1 and event 2 for the terminal device, or the terminal device configures event 1 and / or event 2 for all cells, then T1 = 2, and the size of the eighth indication information can be bits. When the bit is "0", it can indicate that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1, and when the bit is "1", it can indicate that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 2, and vice versa, for example, when the bit is "1", it can indicate that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1, and when the bit is "0", it can indicate that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 2.

[0563] For another example, the size of the eighth indication information can be T1 bits (for example, bitmap), wherein T1 is the number of all events configured by Q1 cells, or the number of different events associated with all report configurations, or the number of all different events configured for the terminal device, or the number of layer 1 (L1) events supported by the protocol. For example, assuming that the network device configures event 1 and event 2 for the terminal device, or the terminal device configures event 1 and / or event 2 for all cells, then T1 = 2, and the size of the eighth indication information can be bits. When the bit is "1", it can indicate that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1, and when the bit is "0", it can indicate that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 2, and when the bit is "11", it can indicate that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1 and event 2, and vice versa.

[0564] (2) The ninth indication information is used to indicate the number of reported beams, or the number of reported reference signals, or the number of reported first beams, or the number of reported second beams in the measurement report #B after the measurement report #b, wherein the first beam is a serving beam, and the second beam is a beam different from the first beam.

[0565] For example, the size of the ninth indication information can be bits, Z is the number of reported beams corresponding to T1 events configured by Q1 cells, or the number of reported reference signals, or the number of reported first beams, or the number of reported second beams. For example, assuming that the network device configures the number of reported beams corresponding to events 1 and 2 for the cell #1 associated with the terminal device to be 4, the size of the ninth indication information can be bits.

[0566] (3) The fifth indication information is used to indicate the information of the fifth cell, and the measurement report #B after the measurement report #b corresponds to a measurement report configuration belonging to the fifth cell. In other words, the measurement report #B corresponding to the measurement report configuration includes the measurement result related to the event occurring on the fifth cell.

[0567] (4) The sixth indication information is used to indicate the information of the sixth cell, and the measurement report #B after the measurement report #b is obtained by measuring the reference signal resource of the sixth cell.

[0568] (5) The seventh indication information is used to indicate the index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to the measurement report #B after the measurement report #b.

[0569] Optionally, assuming that the measurement report #b includes the third indication information, the eighth indication information and the ninth indication information, when the third indication information indicates that the measurement report #b is the last measurement report in the M first measurement reports this time, it means that there is no measurement report #B after the measurement report #b, at this time, the measurement report #b can carry the eighth indication information and the ninth indication information (reserved), but the eighth indication information and the ninth indication information are meaningless.

[0570] Optionally, assuming that the measurement report #b includes the third indication information, the eighth indication information and the ninth indication information, when the third indication information indicates that the measurement report #b is not the last measurement report (or event triggered measurement report) in the M first measurement reports this time, it means that there is a measurement report #B after the measurement report #b, at this time, the measurement report #b can carry the eighth indication information and the ninth indication information (reserved), for example, the eighth indication information indicates event 1, indicating that the measurement report #B includes the measurement result related to event 1, and the ninth indication information is meaningless.

[0571] For example, assume that the first measurement report of the M=2 first measurement reports includes the event p related measurement result corresponding to the cell #1, and the load size of the first measurement report is P bits, P is greater than 0. The first measurement report further includes the third indication information and the ninth indication information, wherein the third indication information is used to indicate that the first measurement report is not the last measurement report of the M=2 first measurement reports, or is used to indicate that the first measurement report is followed by the second measurement report, and the ninth indication information is used to indicate that the load size of the second measurement report is P, i.e., the load sizes of the two measurement reports are the same. Optionally, the first measurement report further includes the eighth indication information and the fifth indication information, the eighth indication information is used to indicate the information of the event q, i.e., the second measurement report includes the event q related measurement result, and the fifth indication information is used to indicate the information of the cell #2, i.e., the measurement report configuration corresponding to the second measurement report belongs to the cell #2. In other words, the second measurement report includes the event q related measurement result corresponding to the cell #2. It can be understood that the cell #1 and the cell #2 belong to the R cells, i.e., the cells in which the events occur, and the event p and the event q belong to the S events, i.e., the events that occur, and the event p or the event q can be one of the aforementioned event #A to event #K.

[0572] In an example, the jthmeasurement report of the M first measurement reports includes the second event related measurement result corresponding to the fourth cell, and the load size of the jthmeasurement report is P bits, P is greater than 0. Wherein, the fourth cell belongs to the R cells, and the second event belongs to the S events, and the number of the fourth cell or the second event is not limited in the present application. The load sizes of the other M-1 measurement reports can be P bits or P’ bits, which are not limited.

[0573] It can be understood that the jthmeasurement report includes the third indication information and / or the ninth indication information in addition to the second event related measurement result corresponding to the fourth cell. For example, when the sum of the load size required by the second event related measurement result corresponding to the fourth cell and the load size required by the third indication information and / or the ninth indication information carried in the jthmeasurement report is Q bits, and Q is less than P, the P-Q bits in the jthmeasurement report are predefined values.

[0574] Further, the jthmeasurement report can further comprise at least one of the eighth indication information, the ninth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, and the seventh indication information. For example, when the load size required by the measurement result of the second event corresponding to the fourth cell, and the load size required by the third indication information and / or the ninth indication information carried in the jthmeasurement report, and the sum of at least one of the eighth indication information, the ninth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, and the seventh indication information carried in the jthmeasurement report is Q' bits, and Q' is less than P, then P-Q' bits in the jthmeasurement report are predefined values.

[0575] For example, it is assumed that the first measurement report in the M=2 first measurement reports comprises the measurement result of the event p corresponding to the cell #1, the load size of the first measurement report is P bits, the load size required by the measurement result of the event p corresponding to the cell #1 is pi, and both P and pi are greater than 0. The first measurement report further comprises the third indication information and the ninth indication information, and the load size required by the third indication information and the ninth indication information is p2, and p2 is greater than 0. If pi+p2

[0576] As shown in Table 15, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with three event triggered measurement report configurations, for example, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#n, corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k, EventTriggered CSI-Report#m and EventTriggered CSI-Report#n respectively. Among them, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (for example, event 2 and event 3) corresponding to CC#m, and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#n is associated with at least one event (for example, event 4 and event 5) corresponding to CC#n. It can be understood that in this implementation manner, the load sizes of the three measurement reports corresponding to the three measurement report configurations can be the same, for example, P bits, or can be different, for example, Q bits, which is not limited. If event 1 corresponding to CC#k and event 3 corresponding to CC#m meet the event triggering condition, that is, event 1 and event 3 occur, and event 2, event 4 and event 5 do not occur, the terminal device can send M=2 first measurement reports, for example, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k and EventTriggered CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, R=2, S=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to R cells, that is, cells in which events occur, and event 1 and event 3 belong to S events, that is, events that occur. Event 1, event 2 or event 3 can be one of the foregoing events #A to event #K, which is not limited.

[0577] Among them, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0578] • Measurement results related to event 1 associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (for example, reporting parameters (such as at least one or more of the foregoing reporting parameters #1 to reporting parameters #13) corresponding to event 1);

[0579] • The number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 1;

[0580] • Information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0581] • Index of the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0582] • Information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0583] • Third indication information (e.g., bit "1", used to indicate that EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is not the last measurement report in N=2 measurement reports or that there is a measurement report after EventTriggered CSI-Report#k);

[0584] • Eighth indication information (e.g. • bits, used to indicate the information of event 3 contained in EventTriggered CSI-Report#m immediately following EventTriggered CSI-Report#k);

[0585] • Ninth indication information (e.g., • bits, used to indicate the number of reported reference signals in EventTriggered CSI-Report#m immediately following EventTriggered CSI-Report#k).

[0586] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is p1 bits, p1 < P, P is the load size of the first measurement report (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k) of the event triggered reporting, then the other P-p1 bits are filled with special values, e.g., all 0.

[0587] Among them, EventTriggered CSI-Report#m includes at least one of the following:

[0588] • EventTriggered CSI-Report#m associated measurement results related to event 3 (e.g., the reporting parameters corresponding to event 3 (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13));

[0589] • the number of reporting parameters corresponding to event 3;

[0590] • the information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0591] • the index of the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0592] • the information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0593] • the third indication information (e.g., bit "0", indicating that the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is the last measurement report in M=2 first measurement reports or indicating that there is no measurement report after the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m);

[0594] • the eighth indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless);

[0595] • the ninth indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless).

[0596] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2 < Q, Q is the load size of the second measurement report (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m) of the event triggered reporting, then the other Q-p2 bits are filled with special values, for example, all 0.

[0597] Table 15

[0598] As shown in Table 15, at least one of the third indication information, the eighth indication information, or the ninth indication information in the CSI-Report#k or the CSI-Report#m can be located after the reporting content and before the special value filled, and optionally, at least one of the third indication information, the eighth indication information, or the ninth indication information can also be located after the special value filled, as shown in Table 16, or at least one of the third indication information, the eighth indication information, or the ninth indication information can also be located before the reporting content, as shown in Table 17, and the present application does not limit the location of at least one of the third indication information, the eighth indication information, or the ninth indication information in the measurement report. As shown in Tables 15 to 17, the third indication information, the eighth indication information, and the ninth indication information are sequentially arranged in the measurement report, and optionally, the third indication information, the eighth indication information, and the ninth indication information can be arbitrarily arranged without limitation in the order of the measurement report.

[0599] Table 16

[0600] Table 17

[0601] As shown in Table 18, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with three event triggered measurement report configurations, for example, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#n, corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k, EventTriggered CSI-Report#m and EventTriggered CSI-Report#n respectively. Among them, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (for example, event 2 and event 3) corresponding to CC#m, and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#n is associated with at least one event (for example, event 4 and event 5) corresponding to CC#n. It can be understood that in this implementation manner, the load sizes of the three measurement reports corresponding to the three measurement report configurations can be the same, for example, P bits, or can be different, for example, Q bits, which is not limited. If event 1 corresponding to CC#k and event 3 corresponding to CC#m meet the event triggering condition, that is, event 1 and event 3 occur, and event 2, event 4 and event 5 do not occur, the terminal device can send M=2 first measurement reports, for example, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k and EventTriggered CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, R=2, S=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to R cells, that is, cells in which events occur, and event 1 and event 3 belong to S events, that is, events that occur. Event 1, event 2 or event 3 can be one of the foregoing events#A to events#K, which is not limited.

[0602] Among them, EventTriggered CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0603] • Measurement results related to event 1 associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (for example, reporting parameters (such as at least one or more of the foregoing reporting parameters#1 to reporting parameters#13) corresponding to event 1);

[0604] • The number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 1;

[0605] • Information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0606] • Index of the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0607] • Information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0608] • Third indication information (e.g., bit "1", used to indicate that EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is not the last measurement report in M=2 first measurement reports or that there is a measurement report after EventTriggered CSI-Report#k);

[0609] • Eighth indication information (e.g., • Information of event 3 contained in EventTriggered CSI-Report#m immediately following EventTriggered CSI-Report#k, using M=8 bits);

[0610] • Fifth indication information (e.g., used to indicate the cell to which the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs;

[0611] • Sixth indication information (e.g., used to indicate the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0612] • Seventh indication information (e.g., used to indicate the index of the measurement reporting configuration corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m)).

[0613] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#k is p1 bits, p1 < P, P is the load size of the first measurement report (e.g., EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k) of the event triggered reporting, then the other P-p1 bits are filled with special values, for example, all 0.

[0614] The EventTriggered CSI-Report#m includes at least one of the following:

[0615] • Measurement results related to the event 3 associated with the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., the reporting parameters corresponding to the event 3 (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #13));

[0616] • The number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to the event 3;

[0617] • Information of the first cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0618] • Index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0619] • Information of the second cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0620] • Third indication information (e.g., bit "0", used to indicate that the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is the last measurement report in M=2 first measurement reports or to indicate that there is no measurement report after the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m);

[0621] • Eighth indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless);

[0622] • Fifth indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless);

[0623] • Sixth indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless);

[0624] • Seventh indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless).

[0625] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2 < Q, Q is the load size of the second measurement report (for example, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m) of the event triggered reporting, then the other Q-p2 bits are filled with special values, for example, all 0.

[0626] Table 18

[0627] As can be seen from the above Table 18, at least one of the third indication information, the eighth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information in the EventTriggered CSI-Report#k or the EventTriggered CSI-Report#m can be located after the reporting content and before the filled special value. Optionally, the third indication information, the eighth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information can also be located after the filled special value, as shown in the following Table 19, or the third indication information, the eighth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information can also be located before the reporting content, as shown in the following Table 20, and the present application does not limit the position of at least one of the third indication information, the eighth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information in the measurement report. As can be seen from Tables 18 to 20, the third indication information, the eighth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information are sequentially sorted in the measurement report. Optionally, the order of the third indication information, the eighth indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information in the sorting part of the measurement report can be placed arbitrarily and is not limited.

[0630] The above Tables 15 to 20 are only examples given for easy understanding, and other schemes are not excluded, for example, the present application does not limit the number of the reported measurement reports, and the content of the measurement results of the events corresponding to the cells carried in the measurement reports.

[0631] Mode three: the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports is fixed, and the other M-1 measurement reports are determined by at least one of the signaling indication or configuration, the predefinition, or the terminal capability of the network device.

[0632] Step one, determine the load size of the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports, the specific implementation manner can refer to the description of the determination manner of the first measurement report in the above manner one, for brevity, will not be repeated here.

[0633] Step two, according to at least one of the predefinition, the signaling indication or the configuration of the network device, or the terminal capability, determine the load size of the other M-1 measurement reports in the M first measurement reports except the first measurement report.

[0634] As an example, the first device receives information #3 from the second device, which is used to indicate the load size of the other M-1 measurement reports in the M first measurement reports except the first measurement report in the M first measurement reports; determine the load size of the other M-1 measurement reports according to the information #3.

[0635] Optionally, the above information #2, information #3 or information #4 can be the same signaling, such as RRC signaling or DCI signaling.

[0636] Based on the above three ways provided, the first device can determine the load size of the M first measurement reports, wherein the load size of the M first measurement reports can be the same, or there can be at least two measurement reports with different load sizes, which are not limited.

[0637] As shown in Table 21, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with two event triggered measurement report configurations, for example, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m, corresponding to EventTriggered CSI-Report#k and EventTriggered CSI-Report#m respectively. Among them, EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, and EventTriggered CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (for example, events 2 and 3) corresponding to CC#m. It can be understood that in this implementation mo...
