Description

Reporting method, device and system of measurement report

[0001] The present application claims priority from the Chinese patent application No. 202411091337.8 filed on August 08, 2024, and entitled "Reporting method, device and system of measurement report", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 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 of event-triggered measurement reports is introduced. Since whether the event condition is met is judged by the terminal device, the terminal device then sends the measurement report related to the event. Therefore, if multiple event-triggered measurement reports are associated with the same reporting resource, the network device can 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 performed 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.

[0007] The method comprises: obtaining N measurement reports based on a reference signal, N being an integer greater than or equal to 1; and sending the N measurement reports and / or first information through a first reporting resource; wherein a measurement report #a in the N measurement reports comprises first indication information and / or second indication information, the first indication information being used to indicate whether the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in the N measurement reports or whether there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, and the second indication information being used to indicate a load size of a measurement report #b after the measurement report #a; and wherein the first information is used to indicate whether Q1 measurement reports are reported or exist, the Q1 measurement reports being associated with the first reporting resource, and Q1 being an integer greater than or equal to N.

[0008] In a possible design, the Q1 measurement reports are associated with the first reporting resource, which can be understood as: Q1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the Q1 measurement reports are associated with the first reporting resource. That is, the Q1 measurement reports can be sent through the first reporting resource.

[0009] Optionally, the number of reported measurement reports can depend on scheduling resources of a network device and / or capability information of a terminal device. For example, the capability information of the terminal device supports reporting a maximum of N measurement reports, or the resources scheduled by the network device for the terminal device support reporting a maximum of N measurement reports.

[0010] It can be understood that the measurement report #a refers to the measurement report in which the first indication information is located.

[0011] 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 measurement reports in the N measurement reports, or the measurement report #a can also be each measurement report in the N measurement reports. Based on the above scheme, the first device sends the N measurement reports and / or the first information on the first reporting resource, feeds back to the second device, through carrying the first indication information and / or the second indication information in the N measurement reports, whether the currently reported measurement report #a is the last measurement report in the N measurement reports or whether there is a measurement report after the currently reported measurement report #a, and feeds back to the second device a load size of a measurement report #b that is reported immediately after the currently reported measurement report #a. Alternatively, the first information is used to feed back to the second device whether the Q1 measurement reports are reported or exist. At this time, for the N measurement reports received for the same reporting resource, the second device can successfully analyze the received measurement reports, and then determine that an M-cell event occurs, an event that occurs on each cell in the M cells, and a reporting content that meets an event condition, and the like, so as to realize reporting of multiple event-triggered measurement reports on the same reporting resource, reduce unnecessary resource waste, and improve transmission performance.

[0012] In a possible design, when the value of the second indication information is 0, the second indication information is used to indicate that the measurement report#a is the last measurement report in the N measurement reports; or the second indication information is used to indicate that there is no measurement report after the measurement report#a.

[0137] The technical solutions in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0138] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present 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. In addition, the technical solutions 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.

[0139] A device in a communication system can transmit or receive signals to or from another device. Wherein, the signals can include reference signals, information, signaling or data, etc. In this application, the device can be replaced by entity, network entity, communication device, communication module, node, communication node, apparatus, etc.

[0140] The communication system and service scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are for more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new service scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0141] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system suitable for the embodiments of 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 (such as 110a and 110b in FIG. 1, collectively referred to as 110) and at least one terminal device (such as 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 connected to the RAN nodes 110 in a wireless manner. 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.

[0142] 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 evolution 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 integrated.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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, 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, the 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.

[0145] 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), etc. 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 unit (AAU), or a remote radio head (RRH).

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.).

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] Optionally, the CN 200 and / or the RAN 100 can be connected to the Internet 300 for information interaction.

[0158] 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 use the terms in 5G, or other names, etc.

[0159] 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 scope of protection 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] The above FIG. 2 is only a schematic diagram given for the purpose of understanding, and the wireless communication system can also include other devices not shown in FIG. 2.

[0162] For the convenience of understanding the technical solutions of the present application, some related technologies involved in the present application are introduced.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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 status 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] As an example, multiple beams with the same or similar communication characteristics can be considered as one beam.

[0170] 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.

[0171] Optionally, multiple beams with 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.

[0172] 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. Reference signal can be used for channel measurement or channel estimation, etc.

[0173] Channel measurement involved in the present application also includes beam measurement, i.e. beam quality information is obtained by measuring reference signal. As an example, parameters for measuring beam quality include at least one of the following: reference signal receiving 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). For the sake of convenience, channel measurement involved in the embodiments of the present application can be regarded as beam measurement in the absence of special description.

[0174] As an example, 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 above-mentioned reference signals 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 3. Reference signal resource: used to configure the transmission attributes of a reference signal.

[0178] 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 #1 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 transmit a reference signal based on a reference signal resource, and the terminal device can receive a reference signal based on a reference signal resource.

[0179] 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).

[0180] 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 transmit data to the terminal device, it needs to inform the terminal device of the transmission beam information it uses, so that the terminal device can use the receiving beam corresponding to the transmission beam to receive the data transmitted by the network device. One possible way is that the network device indicates the relevant information of the transmission beam it uses to the terminal device through the transmission configuration indication (TCI) field in the downlink control information (DCI).

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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).

[0189] For example, the terminal device is 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) at the same time.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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).

[0193] 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 status information reference signal (CSI).

[0194] Among them, the scheduling request can be used for uplink resource request.

[0195] Among them, the HARQ-ACK information (HARQ-ACK information): also known as HARQ information can represent feedback information for data (such as data on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)), such as ACK or NACK.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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).

[0198] 7. Beam management: for example, including beam measurement, such as measuring based on reference signals, determining a better quality beam.

[0199] 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.

[0200] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of beam management suitable for embodiments of the present application.

[0201] As an example, the overall process of beam management can be divided into the following three stages.

[0202] Stage 1: Network device and terminal device beam coarse alignment, as shown in FIG. 3(a).

[0203] 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.

[0204] Stage 2: Network device beam fine adjustment, as shown in FIG. 3(b).

[0205] Specifically, the network device determines the candidate beam according to the network device beam with good quality obtained in stage 1, performs scanning through the CSI-RS, and the terminal device performs receiving by using the receiving beam selected in stage 1, so as to fine-tune the network device beam, thereby determining the network device beam (such as the network device beam with good quality).

[0206] Stage 3: terminal device beam fine-tuning, as shown in FIG. 3(c).

[0207] Specifically, the network device transmits the CSI-RS by using the beam obtained in stage 2, and the terminal device performs scanning on the beam, thereby determining the terminal device beam (such as the terminal device beam with good quality), and completing the beam alignment. The flow is similar to stage 2.

[0208] 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 the implementation, one system also does not necessarily implement all the above processes, for example, only stage 1 and stage 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.

[0209] 8, reporting of measurement results: at present, according to the time domain configuration behavior of reporting, the network device can configure three kinds of measurement result reporting (also called beam reporting, or beam measurement result reporting, or CSI reporting) processes: periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, and aperiodic reporting. The following is a brief introduction.

[0210] 1) Periodic reporting: first, the network device configures periodic reference signal measurement, that is, the network device periodically transmits measurement reference signals to the terminal device, and the terminal device measures the reference signals and periodically reports the measurement results. After the configuration signaling takes effect, the terminal device periodically reports the measurement report, and wants to terminate the measurement reporting process, can send RRC signaling to release the related configuration parameters of the measurement reporting process.

[0211] 2) Semi-persistent reporting: One is that the reference signal measurement is periodic, and the reporting of the measurement result is semi-persistent. First, the network device can configure a periodic reference signal, i.e., the network device periodically sends a measurement reference signal to the terminal device, and the terminal device measures the reference signal. When the terminal device receives the activation signaling (such as MAC CE signaling or DCI signaling) of the network device, the terminal device will periodically and continuously report the measurement result. Of course, the network device can also send a deactivation signaling to the terminal device to deactivate the semi-persistent reporting process. Another is that both the reference signal measurement and the reporting of the measurement result are semi-persistent. When the terminal device receives the activation signaling (such as MAC CE signaling or DCI signaling) of the network device, the terminal device will periodically and continuously measure the reference signal and report the measurement result. When the terminal device receives the deactivation signaling sent by the network device, the terminal device stops the continuous reporting.

[0212] 3) Aperiodic reporting: The reporting is performed only after the terminal device receives a trigger signaling sent by the network device. After the reporting is completed, the terminal device will stop the continuous reporting, i.e., the reporting is one-time.

[0213] 9, component carrier (CC);

[0214] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a component carrier CC. In the current communication system, the frequency domain resource that can be transmitted is defined on the CC. As shown in FIG. 4, the middle part of the CC is the available frequency domain resource, for example, including 21 resource blocks (RBs). Among them, the shaded part is the activated RB, and then the transceiver device can perform information interaction on the resource 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. Optionally, 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.

[0215] 10. 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: the 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 QCL resource of the TCI state indicated by the network device for the terminal device is 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 (such as a CSI-RS resource) in the TCI state indicated by the network device for the terminal device, the QCL resource (such as a TRS resource) in the TCI state corresponding to the CSI-RS resource, and the QCL resource (such as an SSB resource) in the TCI state corresponding to the TRS resource constitute 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.

[0216] It should be noted that the three description methods of TCI state, TCI-state and TCI state can be replaced with each other.

[0217] 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.

[0218] Currently, event-triggered channel state information reporting (CSI report) is supported, the reporting content corresponding to different events can be different, and cross-cell event-triggered reporting is also supported. Since whether an event condition is met is judged by a terminal device, and then an event-related measurement report is sent, if reporting triggered by multiple events is associated with a same reporting resource, the network device cannot know which cells have events, which events occur in a cell, and the reporting content that meets the event condition, and thus cannot parse the received CSI report.

[0219] Therefore, the present application provides a measurement report reporting method and device, so that the network device can parse the measurement report received through a same reporting resource, and resource waste can be avoided.

[0220] 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. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application 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 a sending end and a receiving end.

[0221] 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 the subject 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 a first device and a 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 a SIP chip containing a modem core), or a chip system), or a logical 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 logical module or software capable of realizing all or part of the functions of the second device).

[0222] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a measurement report reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the method 500 includes the following steps.

[0223] S510, a first device (for example, a terminal device) performs measurement based on a reference signal to obtain N measurement reports, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, or N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0224] As an example, the first device receives one or more reference signals sent from a second device (e.g., a network device), and performs measurement (e.g., beam measurement, or channel measurement, etc.) based on the one or more reference signals to obtain one or more measurement results, and the N measurement reports include the one or more measurement results. Wherein, the one or more measurement results correspond to 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, which are not limited herein. Optionally, if N = 1, it means that one measurement report includes one or more measurement results; if N > 1, it means that 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.

[0225] Optionally, before performing step S510, the method further includes steps S501a and / or S501b, and the order of performing steps S501a or S501b is not limited by the present application.

[0226] S501a, the first device obtains configuration information #1.

[0227] Wherein, the configuration information #1 is used to indicate information of X1 events corresponding to M1 cells, and M1 and X1 are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0228] It can be understood that the X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells means that the M1 cells correspond to the X1 events, or the M1 cells support the X1 events, or the M1 cells are configured with the X1 events, or the sum of the number of events supported (or configured) by each of the M1 cells is X1. 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 by the present application.

[0229] Optionally, the configuration information #1 can include information of M1 cells and information of X1 events. Correspondingly, the first device learns the M1 cells and the X1 events based on the configuration information #1.

[0230] Optionally, the configuration information #1 further comprises the association between the M1 cells and the X1 events, or in other words, the configuration information #1 comprises the information of the X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells, or the configuration information #1 comprises the association between each of the M1 cells and one or more of the X1 events. Correspondingly, the first device learns the X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells based on the configuration information #1.

[0231] For example, the configuration information #1 comprises the index or identity of each of the M1 cells and the index or identity of each of the X1 events. Optionally, the event corresponding to the event index comprised in the configuration information #1 is activated, or the configuration information #1 comprises the information of whether the event is activated.

[0232] For another example, the configuration information #1 comprises one or more cell tables (or the index of one or more cell tables) and one or more event tables (or the index of one or more event tables), one cell table comprises one or more cells, and one event table comprises one or more events. In this way, based on the index of the cell table and the index of the event table comprised in the configuration information #1, the first device can learn the cells comprised in the cell table and the events comprised in the event table.

[0233] For yet another example, the configuration information #1 comprises the value of M1 and the value of X1, for example, M1 = 2 and X1 = 4.

[0234] For example, assuming that there are M1 = 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 X1 = 4; or cell A is associated with event 1, and cell B is associated with event 2, event 3 and event 4, then X1 = 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 X1 = 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 X1 = 6; or cell A and cell B are both associated with event 1, event 2, event 3 and event 4, then X1 = 8.

[0235] Further optionally, the method 500 further comprises: 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 X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells).

[0236] Further optionally, the method 500 further comprises: 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 X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells).

[0237] 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.

[0238] For example, it is assumed that the second device configures the first device with M1 = 2 cells (such as 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 indicating 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 indicating whether the event is activated. The information indicating whether the event is activated is indicated by a bitmap, each bit corresponding to whether an event is activated. For example, the bitmap size is 4 bits, the bit value is 1, indicating that the corresponding event is activated, the bit value is 0, indicating that the corresponding event is not activated, and vice versa. When the information indicating whether the event of cell #1 is activated corresponds to bitmap = 1010, it means 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.

[0239] The first device obtains the configuration information #1, including but not limited to the following two implementation manners.

[0240] In one implementation manner, the configuration information #1 is derived from the network side.

[0241] 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.

[0242] 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 realized by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables, functions, texts, strings or other ways that can be used to indicate related information (such as configuration information #1) in the network device and / or terminal device, and the specific implementation manner is not limited in the present application.

[0243] Regarding the determination of X1 events corresponding to M1 cells, including but not limited to the following multiple situations.

[0244] In a first case, X1 events corresponding to M1 cells are determined based on the indication information in step S502. In other words, the X1 events are events supported by the terminal device, or in other words, the X1 events are events indicated by the terminal device through the indication information. In this case, the network device can not need to configure the terminal device with information of the X1 events.

[0245] In a second case, X1 events corresponding to M1 cells are configured by the network device, that is, the network device itself configures (or selects) the X1 events. In this case, it can be assumed that the terminal device supports all events or supports the X1 events. In this case, the terminal device can not need to indicate the network device with information of events supported by the terminal device.

[0246] In a third case, X1 events corresponding to M1 cells are determined based on the indication information in step S502 and 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 X1 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.

[0247] In a fourth case, X1 events corresponding to M1 cells are predefined or preconfigured by a protocol.

[0248] Optionally, the X1 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 K best beams; the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a reference signal eighth threshold of a reference signal with the worst signal quality among reference signals associated with activated TCI state(s); the second beam quality is higher than or equal to a reference signal ninth threshold of a reference signal with the worst signal quality among reference signals associated with activated TCI state(s); there are S second beams with beam qualities 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 beam quality eleventh threshold of a configured reference signal.

[0249] 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.

[0250] 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).

[0251] 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.

[0252] Optionally, the reference signal can be SSB, CSI-RS, SRS, or path loss reference signal, etc.

[0253] 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).

[0254] 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.

[0255] The following will be described by taking the above-mentioned X1 events as examples.

[0256] Example 1: the first beam quality is lower than or equal to the first threshold.

[0257] 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).

[0258] Example 2: the second beam quality is higher than or equal to the second threshold.

[0259] 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).

[0260] 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).

[0261] Example 3: the second beam quality is higher than or equal to the first beam quality third threshold.

[0262] 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).

[0263] 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.

[0264] Example 4, the (absolute) difference between the second beam quality and the first beam quality is lower than or equal to a fourth threshold.

[0265] 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).

[0266] The above are only example descriptions given for the sake of understanding, and embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. Other events can also be included in the X1 events. Several examples are listed below.

[0267] 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.

[0268] 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.

[0269] 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.

[0270] 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.

[0271] 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.

[0272] 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.

[0273] 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.

[0274] 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).

[0275] 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).

[0276] 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).

[0277] 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).

[0278] 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.

[0279] 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).

[0280] 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.

[0281] To distinguish, the event is referred to as event #K, in other words, event #K means 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).

[0282] Taking event #A as an example, if event #A occurs, it means 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 means 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.

[0283] 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.

[0284] The X1 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.

[0285] S501b, the first device acquires configuration information #2 (which can also be referred to as N1 measurement report configurations).

[0286] The N1 measurement report configurations are associated with X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells, and N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0287] In an example, the N measurement reports determined in the above step S501a can include measurement results related to X events corresponding to the M cells, the M cells are cells in which events occur, the X events are events that occur, the M cells belong to the M1 cells, the X events belong to the X1 events, the N1 measurement report configurations include N measurement report configurations, the N measurement report configurations correspond to the N measurement reports one by one, M is a positive integer less than or equal to M1, X is a positive integer less than or equal to X1, and N is an integer less than or equal to N1.

[0288] In the present application, the measurement report, i.e. the event-related measurement report, can be understood as: only including X event-related measurement results corresponding to M cells, at this time the measurement report does not include measurement results related to cells that do not occur events; or, it can also be understood as: including X1 event-related measurement results corresponding to M1 cells, at this time the measurement report related to the measurement results of the cells that do not occur events, or the measurement results of the cells that occur but do not report events can be filled with a pre-defined value, such as 0.

[0289] Optionally, for M1 cells, there can be M2 cells that are cells that occur events, the total number of events that occur on the M2 cells can be X2, the M2 cells include the M cells, i.e. M is less than or equal to M2, M2 is less than or equal to M1, which means that the terminal device can report all or part of the cells that occur events, X2 is greater than or equal to the number of X events, which means that the terminal device can report all events that occur, or report part of the events that occur, which is not limited in the present application.

[0290] In the present application, the number N of measurement reports reported by the first device can be one or more, depending on the number of measurement report configurations configured by the network device, or pre-defined 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 supported by each event trigger on each cell can be pre-defined or pre-configured by the protocol, or indicated or configured by the network device, which is not limited in the present application. For example, when the X event-related measurement results corresponding to the M cells correspond to multiple measurement reports, it means that one measurement report can include at least one event-related measurement result of one cell, or one measurement report can include one event-related measurement result of one cell, or one measurement report can include the same event-related measurement results of multiple cells, or one measurement report can include at least one event-related measurement result of multiple cells, etc., then the first device reports the measurement results of the X events corresponding to the M cells through multiple measurement reports. For another example, when the X event-related measurement results corresponding to the M cells correspond to one measurement report, then the first device reports the measurement results of the X events corresponding to the M cells through one measurement report.

[0291] In the present application, the information of the event occurred in the X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells can be referred to as the information of the occurred event or the event information, which represents the information related to the occurred event. As an example, the information of the event occurred in the X1 events corresponding to the M1 cells includes at least one of the following: the index of the cell of the occurred event, the index of the occurred event, the number of the cells of the occurred event, the number of the occurred events, or the content of the occurred event.

[0292] In the present application, the measurement report configuration can be replaced by any of the following: the event triggered or terminal device initiated report configuration, the event triggered or terminal device initiated beam report configuration, the event triggered or terminal device initiated CSI reportConfig, the event triggered or terminal device initiated measurement report configuration, the event triggered or terminal device initiated beam measurement result report configuration, the event triggered or terminal device initiated interference measurement report configuration, the interference measurement report configuration, the CSI reportConfig, the UE initiated reportConfig, the Event rigger-CSI-ReportConfig, or the beam measurement result report configuration, etc. Specifically, the measurement report configuration can be a CSI-reportConfig, which includes an indication information (for example, the reportConfigType is configured as EventTriggered) indicating 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 information, etc., which indicates that the report configuration is an event triggered report configuration. Alternatively, the measurement report configuration can be configured by a special IE, such as L1-EventTriggered-CSI-ReportConfig.

[0293] Optionally, the measurement report configuration can be the same as the configuration information #1 in the above step S501a, and the configuration information #1 and the measurement report configuration in the present application can be replaced. Optionally, the measurement report configuration can be different from the above configuration information #1, i.e., the two are two independent configuration information. Optionally, the measurement report configuration can include the configuration information #1, or the configuration information #1 can include the measurement report configuration, which is not limited.

[0294] The configuration information #2 is acquired for the first device, including but not limited to the following two implementation manners.

[0295] In an implementation manner, the configuration information #2 is from the network side.

[0296] 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.

[0297] In another implementation, the configuration information #2 can be predefined or preconfigured by the protocol. The predefinition can include predefinition, such as protocol definition, and the preconfiguration can be implemented by pre-storing corresponding codes, tables, functions, texts, strings, or other means for indicating relevant information (for example, configuration information #2) in the network device and / or terminal device. The specific implementation of the present application is not limited.

[0298] Optionally, the M cells or M1 cells are associated with one or more measurement report configurations, which can be indicated or configured by the network device through signaling, or can be predefined by the protocol, and the present application does not limit this.

[0299] The following will be illustrated by combining case one, case two and case three, and the measurement report configuration associated with X1 events corresponding to M1 cells is illustrated.

[0300] In case one, the event occurring in X1 events associated with M1 cells is associated with one measurement report configuration, which can be CSI-reportConfig, event triggered report configuration or event triggered measurement report configuration, etc. Specifically, the CSI-reportConfig configures one indication information (for example, reportConfigType is configured as EventTriggered), which is used to indicate that the report configuration is an event triggered report configuration, or the CSI-reportConfig contains event related information, such as event index, event corresponding threshold and other information, which indicates that the report configuration is an event triggered report configuration; or the event triggered report configuration is configured through a special IE, such as L1-EventTriggered-CSI-ReportConfig. In other words, one measurement report configuration can be associated with one or more cells (or one or more CCs), one measurement report configuration can be associated with one or more events corresponding to one or more cells (or CCs), and / or one measurement report configuration can be associated with event related reference signal resources corresponding to one or more cells (or CCs), that is, one measurement report corresponds to one or more events of one or more cells or CCs.

[0301] It can be understood that, assuming that one measurement report configuration is associated with M1 cells, the network device can send one measurement report configuration for the M1 cells, and the terminal device can report one measurement report, i.e., the one measurement report includes the measurement results of at least one event associated with each of the M1 cells.

[0302] Exemplarily, the measurement report configuration includes one or more of the following information, or in other words, the measurement report configuration is associated with one or more of the following: information of one or more of the M1 cells; event information corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; reference signal measurement resource corresponding to one or more events corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; event trigger reporting resource corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; scheduling request or indication resource corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; reporting quantity of events corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; or reporting number of reporting parameters (or reporting quantity) of events corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells.

[0303] The following will be exemplarily described for the measurement report configuration listed above.

[0304] Example 1, one or more of the M1 cell information.

[0305] For example, index or identifier of a 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 a cell of a primary component carrier (PCC), the Scell can also be referred to as a cell of a secondary component carrier (SCC), for another example, a cell corresponding to an additional physical cell identifier (additional PCI), i.e., the cell corresponds to a neighboring cell of the serving cell, the non-serving cell corresponding to the additional PCI can also be referred to as a cell corresponding to the additional PCI in the activated TCI state, or a candidate cell index, or a CC index, or a PCI.

[0306] Example 2, one or more event information corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells.

[0307] For example, an 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, an event index, , 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 events, that is, X1 is greater than or equal to F, and F is an integer greater than 1; or, assuming that the event information includes X1 bits, the X1 bits correspond to X1 events one by one, and the xth bit in the X1 bits is used to indicate whether the xth event is supported by the corresponding cell, x = 1, 2, …, X1. For example, the value of the xth bit is “0”, then the xth bit is used to indicate that the xth event is not supported by the corresponding cell, or the value of the xth bit is “1”, then the xth bit is used to indicate that the xth event is supported by the corresponding cell, and vice versa, for example, the value of the xth bit is “1”, then the xth bit is used to indicate that the xth event is not supported by the corresponding cell, or the value of the xth bit is “0”, then the xth bit is used to indicate that the xth event is supported by the corresponding cell. If the measurement report configuration is associated with only one cell, the one or more event information corresponds to the cell. If the measurement report configuration is associated with multiple cells, one or more event information can be independently configured for each cell, or multiple cells can be associated with the same one or more event information.

[0308] Example 3: Reference signal measurement resource corresponding to one or more events corresponding to one or more cells in M1 cells.

[0309] 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 current beam and the new beam described above, which can be explicitly configured or implicitly determined. For example, if the measurement report configuration is associated with only one cell, the reference signal measurement resource corresponds to the cell; if the measurement report configuration is associated with multiple cells, one or more event corresponding reference signal measurement resources are independently configured for each cell.

[0310] Example 4: Event triggered reporting resource corresponding to one or more cells in M1 cells, used to carry event triggered beam measurement results, 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 corresponds to each cell, or the reporting resource can be configured for each cell.

[0311] 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, UE-triggered beam reporting reporting resource, or event-triggered beam reporting reporting resource, etc.

[0312] Example 5: One or more of the M1 cells correspond to a scheduling request or indication resource for carrying indication information of event occurrence, which is used to indicate to the network device that the beam measurement result triggered by the event needs to be reported and / or there is event occurrence, or is used to request the event-triggered reporting resource. Only one indication resource can be configured, i.e., 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.

[0313] Optionally, the scheduling request or indication resource can be replaced by any one of the following: reporting indication resource, PUCCH indication resource, PUSCH indication resource, scheduling request resource, pre-indication resource, pre-notification resource, event-triggered reporting scheduling request resource, event-triggered first channel resource, event-triggered first uplink resource, UE-triggered beam reporting reporting request resource, UE-triggered beam reporting reporting indication resource, UE-triggered reporting first PUCCH resource, or UE-triggered reporting scheduling request resource. Optionally, the scheduling request or indication resource can be associated with one PUCCH resource, or associated with one scheduling request ID, or associated with one scheduling request resource, or be a specially configured PUCCH resource, which is not limited in the present application.

[0314] Example 6: One or more of the M1 cells correspond to one or more reporting quantities (or reporting parameters) when one or more events occur, and / or the number of reporting quantities of the events corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells. The reporting quantity corresponding to each event can be configured by the network or specified by the protocol. Similarly, if the measurement report 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 measurement report configuration is associated with multiple cells, i.e., 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 respectively. It can also be understood that the M1 cells correspond to one or more reporting quantities (or reporting parameters) contained in the measurement result that needs to be reported when one or more events occur.

[0315] The reporting quantity (or reporting parameter) can include one or more of the following:

[0316] (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).

[0317] (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.

[0318] (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).

[0319] (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.

[0320] (5) Report parameter #5, one or more cell information, which can be understood as which cell the reported 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 measurement report configuration). For example, the cell information can be the handover candidate cell ID, the additional PCI, the CC index, or the PCI.

[0321] (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.

[0322] (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 reported current serving beam and / or the second beam belongs to.

[0323] (8) Report parameter #8, report configuration index, for example, CSI report configuration identifier (CSI-ReportConfigId), or event-triggered report configuration index.

[0324] (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, X1 is greater than or equal to F, and F is an integer greater than 1. For example, the event information includes X1 bits, X1 bits correspond to X1 events one by one, and the xth bit in the X1 bits is used to indicate whether the event corresponding to the xth bit occurs, x=1, 2, …, X1. For example, the value of the xth bit is “0”, then the xth bit is used to indicate that the event corresponding to the xth bit occurs, or the value of the xth bit is “1”, then the xth bit is used to indicate that the event corresponding to the xth bit 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.

[0325] (10) Report parameter #10, capability index, used to determine the maximum number of SRS ports.

[0326] (11) Report parameter #11, channel state information, which can include one or more of precoding matrix indicator (PMI), rank indicator (RI), channel quality indicator (CQI), and layer indicator (LI).

[0327] (12) Report parameter #12, first indication information, the specific interpretation of which is described later.

[0328] (13) Report parameter #13, second indication information, the specific interpretation of which is described later.

[0329] (14) Report parameter #14, third indication information, the specific interpretation of which is described later.

[0330] (15) Report parameter #15, fourth indication information, the specific interpretation of which is described later.

[0331] (16) Report parameter #16, fifth indication information, the specific interpretation of which is described later.

[0332] (17) Report parameter #17, sixth indication information, the specific interpretation of which is described later.

[0333] (18) Report parameter #18, seventh indication information, the specific interpretation of which is described later.

[0334] The above report parameters are only example descriptions for ease of understanding, and embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and can also include other report parameters.

[0335] Case two, one measurement report configuration is associated with one of M1 cells, which can be a CSI-reportConfig or an event-triggered report configuration, etc. In other words, in this way, one measurement report configuration is associated with one cell or one CC, that is, one measurement report corresponds to one cell or one CC, or one measurement report configuration is associated with the reference signal measurement resource corresponding to one cell or one CC event. That is, M1 cells or M1 CCs correspond to one or more measurement report configurations, which correspond to one or more measurement reports.

[0336] It can be understood that, assuming that one measurement report configuration is associated with one cell, the network device can send M1 measurement report configurations for M1 cells, and the terminal device can report M measurement reports, i.e., each measurement report includes the measurement result of at least one event associated with one of the M cells.

[0337] Exemplarily, the one measurement report configuration includes one or more of the following information, or in other words, the measurement report configuration is associated with one or more of the following: 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 triggering reporting resource corresponding to one cell; one scheduling request or indication resource corresponding to one cell; one reporting quantity of one event corresponding to one cell; or one reporting quantity corresponding to each of one or more events corresponding to one cell, wherein each event can correspond to one or more reporting quantities. For brevity, the specific parameter interpretation is not repeated here, and the related description of the above case one can be referred to.

[0338] In case three, there are multiple cells associated with one measurement report configuration in the M1 cells (e.g., M1 is greater than 1), there is also one cell associated with one measurement report configuration, or one cell is associated with multiple measurement report configurations. The measurement report configuration can be CSI-reportConfig, or an event triggering reporting configuration, etc. In other words, in this way, one measurement report configuration can be associated with one cell or one CC, and one measurement report configuration can also be associated with multiple cells or multiple CCs, i.e., one measurement report can correspond to one cell or one CC, and one measurement report can also correspond to multiple cells or multiple CCs. That is, M1 cells or M1 CCs correspond to T measurement report configurations, which correspond to T measurement reports, and T is an integer greater than 1.

[0339] As an example, assuming that M1 = 3 and T = 2, it is illustrated that three cells (e.g., cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3) correspond to two measurement report configurations (e.g., measurement report configuration #1 and measurement report configuration #2), for example, cell 1 and cell 2 correspond to measurement report configuration #1, and cell 3 corresponds to measurement report configuration #2. When an event occurs on cell 1 and / or cell 2, the terminal device can report measurement report #1 corresponding to 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 measurement report #2 corresponding to measurement report configuration #2 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring on cell 3.

[0340] As another example, assuming M1=3, T=4, it is assumed that there are three cells (e.g., cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3) corresponding to 4 measurement report configurations (e.g., measurement report configuration #1, measurement report configuration #2, measurement report configuration #3, measurement report configuration #4), for example, cell 1 corresponds to measurement report configuration #1, cell 2 corresponds to measurement report configuration #2 and measurement report configuration #3, measurement report configuration #2 and 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 measurement report configuration #4. When an event occurs in cell 1, the terminal device can report measurement report #1 corresponding to measurement report configuration #1 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring in cell 1. When an event occurs in cell 2 and the event occurs in the monitored SSB, the terminal device can report measurement report #2 corresponding to measurement report configuration #2 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring in the monitored SSB of cell 2. When an event occurs in cell 3, the terminal device can report measurement report #4 corresponding to measurement report configuration #4 to indicate the measurement result of the event occurring in cell 3.

[0341] Exemplarily, the measurement report configuration contains one or more of the following information, or in other words, the measurement report configuration is associated with one or more of the following: information of one or more of the M1 cells; event information corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; reference signal measurement resources corresponding to one or more events corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; event triggering reporting resources corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; scheduling request or indication resources corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; reporting quantity of events corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells; or reporting number of reporting parameters of events corresponding to one or more of the M1 cells. For brevity, the specific parameter explanations are not repeated here, and the reader can refer to the relevant description of the above case 1.

[0342] Optionally, the one or more measurement report configurations described above 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.

[0343] In an implementation manner, the network device configures reference signal resource information of measurements corresponding to different events.

[0344] 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 X1 events can be carried in the same signaling, such as the configuration information #1 in step S501a including the information of the X1 events and the information of the reference signal resource; or can be carried in different signaling, which is not limited.

[0345] 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 setting (including the reference signal resource set) corresponding to different events, for monitoring whether a certain event occurs, and the event occurrence triggers the reporting. Or, the measurement result of the reporting triggered by a certain event corresponds to: the reference signal resource / reference signal resource set / reference signal resource configuration corresponding to the event.

[0346] 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.

[0347] Another example, the network device sends a measurement report configuration, also called an event triggered reporting configuration or an event triggered measurement report configuration, to the terminal device, which is a special event triggered reporting configuration or an event triggered measurement report configuration.

[0348] For example, the 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 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 measurement report configuration can also be associated with the reference signal resource / reference signal resource set / reference signal resource setting, so that the terminal device can determine which reference signal resource measurement result can be reported in the event reporting.

[0349] Still another example, the network device sends different event triggered measurement report configurations to the terminal.

[0350] For example, the measurement report configuration information #1 includes event information, such as event index, for indicating that the 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.

[0351] In another implementation manner, the reference signal resource information of the measurement corresponding to different event triggered reporting is predefined.

[0352] 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).

[0353] 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.

[0354] The predefined reference signal resource described above can correspond to different events or the same event, and no limitation is imposed thereon. In addition, the reference signal described above can be a reference signal of a serving cell or a reference signal of a candidate cell / neighbor cell.

[0355] Optionally, before the terminal device acquires 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.

[0356] S502, the first device sends indication information to the second device.

[0357] Correspondingly, the second device receives the indication information from the first device.

[0358] 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.

[0359] As an example, the specific implementation manner can include but is not limited to: if the terminal device reports the terminal capability information, it indicates that the terminal device supports the capability; on the contrary, if the terminal device does not report the terminal capability information, it indicates that the terminal device does not support the capability; or, if the terminal device reports the terminal capability information, it indicates that the terminal device supports the capability; if the terminal device reports that it does not support the terminal capability information, it indicates 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 indicates that the terminal device supports capability #2.

[0360] 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.

[0361] 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.

[0362] 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 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 event triggered reporting supported by each CC of the terminal device, a maximum number of event triggered beam report configurations supported by the terminal device, a maximum number of event triggered report configurations supported by each CC of the terminal device, a number of cells associated with an event triggered beam report configuration, a number of events of each cell associated with an event triggered beam report configuration, a maximum number of reported beams supported by each event supported by the terminal device, or a maximum number of reported new beams (i.e. second beams) supported by each event supported by the terminal device.

[0363] In this application, the event triggered reporting can be replaced by any of the following: event triggered beam reporting, event triggered channel state information (CSI) reporting, event triggered beam measurement result reporting, or event triggered interference measurement reporting, and the like, without limitation. Alternatively, the event triggered reporting can also be referred to as UE initiated report.

[0364] In the following, specific information indicated by the indication information is exemplarily illustrated.

[0365] Example 1: The indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0366] 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 1 bit is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting. 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; vice versa, if the bit is set to "0", it indicates that the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting; if the bit is set to "1", it indicates that the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0367] For another example, whether 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 the terminal device supports the capability of event triggered reporting. Alternatively, if the terminal device does not report the capability of supporting event triggered reporting, it can be defaulted that the terminal device does not support the capability of event triggered reporting.

[0368] The above is an example illustration, 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.

[0369] 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.

[0370] For example, the indication information includes indexes of each event supported by the terminal device; or is represented in the form of a bitmap. Assuming that there are events 1 to 4, if the events supported by the terminal device for event-triggered reporting correspond to events 1 and 4, the terminal device can send indication information, which can include indexes of events 1 and 4, or the indication information can include bitmap = 1001, indicating that the terminal device supports event-triggered reporting of events 1 and 4 and does not support event-triggered reporting of events 2 and 3.

[0371] For another example, the indication information includes indexes of each event table supported by the terminal device, and one event table includes one or more events.

[0372] For yet another example, the indication information includes the number of events supported by the terminal device.

[0373] For yet another example, the terminal does not report one or more events corresponding to the supported event-triggered reporting, indicating that it does not support any event-triggered reporting. Or, the terminal does not report one or more events corresponding to the supported event-triggered reporting, indicating that it supports all protocol-specified events.

[0374] 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.

[0375] For example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event-triggered reporting can be implemented by at least one bit. Assuming that 1 bit is used to indicate whether each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event-triggered reporting. If the bit is set to "0", it indicates that each CC of the terminal device supports the capability of event-triggered reporting; if the bit is set to "1", it indicates that each CC of the terminal device does not support the capability of event-triggered reporting. Assuming that there are 4 CCs, 2 bits are used to indicate whether each CC supports the capability of event-triggered reporting: 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", indicating that CC#0 and CC#1 of the terminal device support the capability of event-triggered reporting.

[0376] For another example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports the event triggered reporting capability can be implemented by a bitmap. Assuming that there are 4 CCs, i.e., the size of the bitmap is 4 bits, if CC#0 and CC#1 of the terminal device support the event triggered reporting capability, and CC#2 and CC#3 of the terminal device do not support the event triggered reporting capability, a bit "1" indicates that the CC of the terminal device supports the event triggered reporting capability, and a bit "0" indicates that the CC of the terminal device does not support the event triggered reporting capability. The terminal device can send bitmap="1100".

[0377] For another example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports the event triggered reporting capability is indicated by whether the terminal device reports the support of the event triggered reporting capability. If the terminal device does not report the non-support of the event triggered reporting capability, it is considered that each CC of the terminal device supports the event triggered reporting capability. Alternatively, for example, if the terminal device does not report the support of the event triggered reporting capability, it is considered that each CC of the terminal device does not support the event triggered reporting capability.

[0378] The above is an example for illustration, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, whether each CC of the terminal device supports the event triggered reporting capability 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 the event triggered reporting capability. If the indication information does not include the specific field, it indicates that each CC of the terminal device does not support the event triggered reporting capability.

[0379] Example 4: The indication information is used to indicate one or more events corresponding to the event triggered reporting supported by each CC of the terminal device. In short, the indication information is used to indicate the events supported by each CC of the terminal device.

[0380] For example, the indication information includes the 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 event 1, event 2 and event 3, if the terminal device supports event 1 and event 3 for the event triggered reporting corresponding to CC#1, the terminal device can send the indication information, which can include the indexes of event 1 and event 3, or the indication information can include bitmap=101, indicating that the terminal device supports the event triggered reporting of event 1 and event 3, and does not support the event triggered reporting of event 2.

[0381] For another example, the indication information includes the indexes of each event table supported by each CC of the terminal device, and one event table includes one or more events.

[0382] For another example, the indication information includes the number of events supported by each CC of the terminal device.

[0383] Example 5, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of event triggered beam reporting configurations supported by the terminal device.

[0384] For example, the maximum number of event triggered beam reporting configurations supported by the terminal device is 4, which means that the number of measurement reports of event triggered beam reporting supported by the terminal device can be 1, 2, 3, or 4.

[0385] 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.

[0386] For example, the maximum number of event triggered reporting configurations supported by each CC of the terminal device is 3, which means that the number of measurement reports of event triggered reporting supported by each of the M cells can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0387] Example 7, the indication information is used to indicate the number of associated cells supported by the event triggered beam reporting configuration.

[0388] For example, the number of associated cells supported by the event triggered beam reporting configuration is 4, which means that the number of associated cells of event triggered beam reporting supported by the terminal device can be 1, 2, 3, or 4.

[0389] Example 8, the indication information is used to indicate the number of events supported by each associated cell of the event triggered beam reporting configuration.

[0390] For example, the number of events supported by each associated cell of the event triggered beam reporting configuration is 2, which means that the number of events of event triggered beam reporting supported by each associated cell of the terminal device can be 1 or 2.

[0391] Example 9, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of reporting beams supported by each event supported by the terminal device.

[0392] For example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of reporting beams supported by event #1 is 2, and the maximum number of reporting beams supported by event #2 is 3. When event #1 occurs, the number of reporting beams associated with event 1 can be 1 or 2; when event #2 occurs, the number of reporting beams associated with event 2 can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0393] For another example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of reporting beams supported by event #1 and event #2 supported by the terminal device is 3. When event #1 occurs, the number of reporting beams associated with event 1 can be 1, 2, or 3; when event #2 occurs, the number of reporting beams associated with event 2 can be 1, 2, or 3.

[0394] Example 10, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of reported new beams (i.e., second beams) supported by the terminal device for each event supported by the terminal device.

[0395] For example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of reported new beams supported by event #1 supported by the terminal device is 2, and the maximum number of reported new beams supported by event #2 supported by the terminal device 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.

[0396] For another example, the terminal device supports event #1 and event #2, and the indication information includes that the maximum number of reported new beams supported by event #1 supported by the terminal device is 3, and the maximum number of reported new beams supported by event #2 supported by the terminal device 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.

[0397] Example 11, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of CCs supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting.

[0398] For example, the maximum number of CCs (or the maximum number of cells) supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting is 4, which means that the terminal device can simultaneously perform event triggered reporting on 1, 2, 3, or 4 CCs.

[0399] Example 12, the indication information is used to indicate the maximum number of events supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting.

[0400] For example, the maximum number of events supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting is 4, which means that the terminal device can simultaneously perform event triggered reporting on 1, 2, 3, or 4 events.

[0401] 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.

[0402] For example, the maximum number of measurement report configurations supported by the terminal device for simultaneous event triggered reporting is 4, which means that the terminal device can simultaneously perform event triggered reporting on 1, 2, 3, or 4 measurement reports corresponding to the measurement report configurations.

[0403] 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 events supported by the terminal device to the network device.

[0404] S520, the first device sends N measurement reports and / or first information to the second device through the first reporting resource.

[0405] Correspondingly, the second device receives the N measurement reports and / or the first information from the first device through the first reporting resource.

[0406] Optionally, the number of the 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 to report at most N measurement reports, or the resource scheduled by the network device for the terminal device supports to report at most N measurement reports.

[0407] That is, the first device can report one or more measurement reports through signaling or the first reporting resource (or uplink resource). The first reporting resource can be the aforementioned event-triggered reporting resource. Optionally, the signaling can be MAC CE signaling or UCI signaling. The first reporting resource can be any one of PUCCH resource, PUSCH resource, event-triggered reporting resource, UE-triggered reporting resource, event-triggered second channel resource, UE-triggered beam reporting reporting resource, event-triggered beam reporting reporting resource, event-triggered second uplink resource, pre-configured PUCCH or PUSCH resource, pre-configured grant PUSCH (CG-PUSCH), dynamically scheduled PUSCH resource, periodic PUCCH resource, aperiodic PUSCH resource, semi-persistent PUCCH resource, and semi-persistent PUSCH resource, without limitation. Optionally, the network device can configure only one reporting resource, that is, each of the M1 cells corresponds to the same reporting resource, or all event-triggered reporting configurations correspond to the same reporting resource.

[0408] As an example, the N measurement reports include X event-related measurement results corresponding to M cells, and the X events corresponding to the M cells are the events that occur. Alternatively, the M cells are the cells in which the events occur, and the X events are the events that occur, that is, at least one event occurs in each of the M cells. In other words, the X events corresponding to the M cells are the events that occur on the M cells, for example, the X events corresponding to the M cells can be at least one of the event #A to event #K described above. It can be understood that the occurrence of the event triggers the reporting, that is, the measurement report corresponding to the event is triggered to be reported.

[0409] Optionally, the measurement result can include at least one of the following: a reporting parameter corresponding to the event that occurs (for example, at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #18), or a reporting number corresponding to each reporting parameter.

[0410] Optionally, the measurement report #a among the N measurement reports further comprises at least one of: information of the third cell, information of the fourth cell, or an index of a measurement report configuration to which the measurement report #a corresponds. The measurement report configuration to which the measurement report #a corresponds belongs to the third cell, and the measurement report #a is obtained by measuring a reference signal on a reference signal resource of the fourth cell.

[0411] Exemplarily, the information of the third cell or the information of the fourth 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 #a corresponds can be a CSI report configuration identifier (CSI-ReportConfigId) or an index of an event-triggered reporting configuration.

[0412] Optionally, the measurement report #a can be any one of the N measurement reports or can be each of the N measurement reports, without limitation.

[0413] The correspondence between the N measurement reports and the X event-related measurement results corresponding to the M cells is not limited. For example, one measurement report can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to one cell, or one measurement report can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to one cell, or one measurement report can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to multiple cells, or one measurement report can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to multiple cells, or multiple measurement reports can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to one cell, or multiple measurement reports can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to one cell, or multiple measurement reports can include one event-related measurement result corresponding to multiple cells, or multiple measurement reports can include multiple event-related measurement results corresponding to multiple cells, without limitation.

[0414] Optionally, the first information can also not be carried on the first reporting resource, for example, the first information is carried on a second reporting resource, which can be a PUCCH resource or a PUSCH resource. Optionally, the time domain position of the second reporting resource cannot be later than the time domain position of the first reporting resource, or in other words, the time domain position of the second reporting resource is earlier than or equal to the time domain position of the first reporting resource, i.e., the sending time of the N measurement reports is later than or equal to the sending time of the first information, or the sending time of the first information is earlier than or equal to the sending time of the N measurement reports, without limitation.

[0415] Optionally, the first information and the N measurement reports can be carried in the first reporting resource simultaneously, and the present application does not limit the positions of the first information and the N measurement reports. For example, the first information can be located before the N measurement reports, or the first information can also be located after the N measurement reports. Optionally, the first information and the N measurement reports can be independently encoded, for example, two UCI bit sequences are generated; or the first information and the N measurement reports can also be encoded together, for example, one UCI bit sequence is generated.

[0416] In the following, the first device sending the N measurement reports and / or the first information to the second device through the first reporting resource is exemplarily described.

[0417] Case one: the first device sends the N measurement reports to the second device through the first reporting resource, and a measurement report#a in the N measurement reports includes the first indication information and / or the second indication information.

[0418] The first indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement report#a is the last measurement report in the N 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 the first reporting resource, or whether the measurement report#a is the last event triggered measurement report in the N measurement reports, or whether there is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a, or whether there is a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or whether there is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a, or whether P bits after the measurement report#a are measurement reports, or whether P bits after the measurement report#a are event triggered measurement reports, wherein P bits are the load size of the measurement report.

[0419] 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 / load size / bit number / bit space / bit width reserved by 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 bit width / reporting payload size, or payload size in the present application can be replaced with each other. For ease of description, the load size is exemplarily described in the following.

[0420] It can be understood that the measurement report#a refers to the measurement report in which the first indication information is located.

[0421] 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 N measurement reports, or the measurement report #a can also be each of the N measurement reports. That is, the first indication information and / or the second indication information are carried in one or more of the N measurement reports sent by the first device to the second device through the first reporting resource.

[0422] Exemplarily, the first indication information can be indicated by 1 bit, or the first indication information occupies 1 bit. For example, bit "0" indicates that the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in N 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 in N measurement reports, or there is no event triggered measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is no measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is no event triggered measurement report after the measurement report #a, or P bits after the measurement report #a are not measurement reports, or P bits after the measurement report #a are not event triggered measurement reports; bit "1" indicates that the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in N 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 in N measurement reports, or there is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is a measurement report after the measurement report #a, or there is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report #a, or P bits after the measurement report #a are measurement reports, or P bits after the measurement report #a are event triggered measurement reports. Wherein, P bits are the load size of the measurement report #a.The same is true in the opposite direction, without limitation, for example, bit "1" indicates that measurement report #a is the last measurement report of N measurement reports, or, there is no measurement report after measurement report #a, or, measurement report #a is the last measurement report, or, measurement report #a is the last measurement report in the first reporting resource, or, measurement report #a is the last event-triggered measurement report of N measurement reports, or, there is no event-triggered measurement report after measurement report #a, or, there is no measurement report after measurement report #a, or, there is no event-triggered measurement report after measurement report #a, or, P bits after measurement report #a are not measurement reports, or, P bits after measurement report #a are not event-triggered measurement reports; bit "0" indicates that measurement report #a is not the last measurement report of N measurement reports, or, there is a measurement report after measurement report #a, or, measurement report #a is not the last measurement report, or, measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in the first reporting resource, or, measurement report #a is not the last event-triggered measurement report of N measurement reports, or, there is an event-triggered measurement report after measurement report #a, or, there is a measurement report after measurement report #a, or, there is an event-triggered measurement report after measurement report #a, or, P bits after measurement report #a are measurement reports, or, P bits after measurement report #a are event-triggered measurement reports. P bits are the payload size of measurement report #a. The size (or number of bits occupied) and form of the first indication information are not limited in the present application.

[0423] For example, as shown in Table 1 below, the terminal device reports N measurement reports in the first reporting resource, measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, and measurement report #N. The values of the first indication information in the first N-1 measurement reports (i.e., measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, and measurement report #N-1) are all "1" (only one example, other values are also possible), indicating that there is a measurement report after each of the N-1 measurement reports or that each of the N-1 measurement reports is not the last measurement report of N measurement reports. The value of the first indication information in the last measurement report (i.e., measurement report #N) is "0", indicating that measurement report #N is the last measurement report of N measurement reports or that there is no measurement report after measurement report #N.

[0424] Table 1

[0425] Optionally, the present application does not limit the specific location of the first indication information in the measurement report#a. 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, the first indication information can be located in the first bit of the measurement report#a, i.e. the first bit of the P bit, etc. Optionally, if the size of the load p required by the reporting content contained in the measurement report#a is smaller than the size of the load P bit of the measurement report#a, then P-p bits of the measurement report#a are filled with predefined values, and the first indication information can be located after the reporting content and before the filled special values, i.e. the first bit after the p bits, or, the first indication information can also be located after the filled special values, i.e. the last bit of the P bit, without limitation.

[0426] The second indication information is used to indicate the size of the load of the measurement report#b after the measurement report#a.

[0427] It can be understood that the measurement report#a refers to the measurement report in which the second indication information is located.

[0428] It can be understood that in the first reporting resource, the measurement report#b is the first measurement report after the measurement report#a, or it can be understood that the measurement report#b is the next measurement report after the measurement report#a.

[0429] It can be understood that the second indication information can implicitly indicate whether the measurement report#a is the last measurement report of the N 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 the first reporting resource, or whether the measurement report#a is the last event-triggered measurement report of the N measurement reports, or whether there is an event-triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a, or whether there is a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or whether there is an event-triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a.

[0430] Optionally, since the second indication information is used to indicate the size of the load of the measurement report#b after the measurement report#a, that is, the second indication information is used to indicate the size of the load of the measurement report immediately after the currently reported measurement report, for the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, the last measurement report can not include the second indication information, and the first N-1 measurement reports of the N measurement reports all include the second indication information; or, the last measurement report of the N measurement reports includes the second indication information, but at this time the second indication information is meaningless or the size of the load indicated by the second indication information is 0.

[0431] As an example, when the second indication information is all 0, it is used to indicate that the measurement report#a is the last one of the N measurement reports, or, or, the measurement report#a is the last one, or, the measurement report#a is the last one in the first reporting resource, there is no measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, the measurement report#a is the last event triggered measurement report of the N measurement reports, or, there is no event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is not a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is not an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a; when the second indication information is not all 0, it is used to indicate the load size of the measurement report#b after the measurement report#a, and can be further used to indicate that the measurement report#a is not the last one of the N measurement reports, or, there is a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, the measurement report#a is not the last event triggered measurement report of the N measurement reports, or, there is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a.

[0432] Alternatively, the second indication information can be a special value, for example, all 0 or all 1, used to indicate that the measurement report#a is the last one of the N measurement reports, or, or, the measurement report#a is the last one, or, the measurement report#a is the last one in the first reporting resource, there is no measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, the measurement report#a is the last event triggered measurement report of the N measurement reports, or, there is no event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is not a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is not an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a; alternatively, the second indication information can not be a special value, used to indicate the load size of the measurement report#b after the measurement report#a, and can be further used to indicate that the measurement report#a is not the last one of the N measurement reports, or, there is a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, the measurement report#a is not the last event triggered measurement report of the N measurement reports, or, there is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is a measurement report after the measurement report#a, or, it is an event triggered measurement report after the measurement report#a. Alternatively, the special value can be network configured, or protocol specified, or determined by the terminal.

[0433] For example, the number of bits required by the second indication information is P is the load size or the number of bits required for the first measurement report in the N measurement reports, it can also be understood that P is the load size of the measurement report corresponding to the measurement report configuration with the largest actual required load size in the N1 measurement report configurations, it can also be understood that P is the load size of the measurement report corresponding to the measurement report configuration with the largest actual required load size in the Q1 measurement report configurations, the Q1 measurement report configurations correspond to the Q1 measurement reports in a one-to-one manner, the Q1 measurement report configurations are all the measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource, or in other words, the Q1 measurement reports corresponding to the Q1 measurement report configurations are all the measurement reports associated with the first reporting resource, the N1 measurement report configurations include the Q1 measurement report configurations, Q1 is less than or equal to N1, is rounded up. Exemplarily, assuming that P = 64, the load size or the number of bits required for the second indication information is For example, "000000" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 0, that is, the currently reported measurement report #a is the last measurement report in the N measurement reports, or in other words, there is no measurement report after the currently reported measurement report #a, and "111111" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 64 bits, that is, the currently reported measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in the N measurement reports, or in other words, there is a measurement report #b after the currently reported measurement report #a, and the load size or the number of bits required for the measurement report #b is 64 bits.

[0434] For example, the number of bits required for the second indication information is Q is the load size of the measurement report with the largest actual required load size among the N measurement reports excluding the first measurement report, it can also be understood that Q is the load size of the measurement report corresponding to the measurement report configuration with the largest actual required load size among the N1 measurement reports corresponding to the N1 measurement report configurations excluding the measurement report corresponding to the measurement report configuration with the largest actual required load size, it can also be understood that Q is the load size of the measurement report corresponding to the measurement report configuration with the largest actual required load size among the Q1 measurement reports corresponding to the Q1 measurement report configurations excluding the measurement report corresponding to the measurement report configuration with the largest actual required load size, the Q1 measurement report configurations correspond to the Q1 measurement reports in a one-to-one manner, the Q1 measurement report configurations are all the measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource, or in other words, the Q1 measurement reports corresponding to the Q1 measurement report configurations are all the measurement reports associated with the first reporting resource, the N1 measurement report configurations include the Q1 measurement report configurations, Q1 is less than or equal to N1, is rounded up. Exemplarily, assuming that Q = 32, the load size or the number of bits required for the second indication information is For example, "00000" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 0, that is, the currently reported measurement report #a is the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, or in other words, there is no measurement report following the currently reported measurement report #a. "11111" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 32 bits, that is, the currently reported measurement report #a is not the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, or in other words, there is a measurement report #b following the currently reported measurement report #a, and the load size or the required number of bits of the measurement report #b is 32 bits.

[0435] As another example, the network device or the protocol specifies N possible load sizes that can be reported, that is, the measurement report corresponding to the measurement report configuration associated with the first reported resource has N possible load sizes that can be reported, or in other words, the measurement report corresponding to the N1 measurement report configurations has N possible load sizes that can be reported. The second indication information is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b following the measurement report #a is one of the N load sizes.

[0436] For example, the number of bits required by the second indication information is Each value of the second indication information corresponds to one of the N load sizes. For example, assuming that N = 4, it can be understood that there are 4 possible load sizes, such as 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits, and 64 bits, and the load size or the number of bits required by the second indication information is It is explained that the second indication information can be indicated by 2 bits, that is, the second indication information occupies 2 bits. For example, "00" corresponds to 8 bits, which is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 8 bits; "01" corresponds to 16 bits, which is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 16 bits; "10" corresponds to 32 bits, which is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 32 bits; and "11" corresponds to 64 bits, which is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 64 bits. That is, the currently reported measurement report #a is not the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, and there is at least one measurement report #b following the measurement report #a.

[0437] For another example, the second indication information requires N bits, each bit corresponds to one measurement report, the nth bit of the second indication information is 1, which can be used to indicate the nth of the N load sizes, n is a positive integer less than or equal to N, that is, the second indication information can be in the form of bitmap. As an example, assuming N = 3, it can be understood that there are 3 possible load sizes, for example, 8 bits, 16 bits and 32 bits, and the load size of the second indication information or the number of required bits is 3 bits, which indicates that the second indication information can be indicated by 3 bits, or in other words, the second indication information occupies 3 bits. Each bit corresponds to one reported measurement report. For example, bitmap = "100" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 8 bits; bitmap = "010" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 16 bits; bitmap = "001" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 32 bits.

[0438] As another example, the network device or protocol specifies that the maximum load size of the measurement report is G bits, the second indication information requires bit, and the second indication information indicates the load size less than or equal to G bits. As an example, assuming G = 32, the load size of the second indication information or the number of required bits is For example, "00000" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 0, that is, the currently reported measurement report #a is the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, or in other words, there is no measurement report after the currently reported measurement report #a, and "11111" is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b immediately following the currently reported measurement report #a is 32 bits, that is, the currently reported measurement report #a is not the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, or in other words, there is a measurement report #b after the currently reported measurement report #a, and the load size of the measurement report #b or the number of required bits is 32 bits.

[0439] For example, as shown in Table 2 below, the terminal device reports N measurement reports in the first reporting resource, measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N, and each of the N measurement reports includes the second indication information. The second indication information in measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N indicates the load sizes a, b, c, …, l, k in turn, i.e., the load sizes corresponding to measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N are a, b, c, …, l in turn. Optionally, k = 0. The load size of the first measurement report (i.e., measurement report #1) is X. Optionally, the unit of the load size can be bits.

[0440] Table 2

[0441] In an implementation, if the measurement report #a of the N measurement reports includes the first indication information, when the first indication information is used to indicate that the measurement report #a is the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, the measurement report #a can not include the second indication information, or the measurement report #a can also include the second indication information, and at this time, the second indication information is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b is 0, which means that there is no measurement report after the measurement report #a, i.e., there is no measurement report #b; when the first indication information is used to indicate that the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report of the N measurement reports, the measurement report #a includes the second indication information, and at this time, the second indication information is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b is P bits, which means that there is a measurement report #a, and there is a measurement report #b after the measurement report #a, and the load size of the measurement report #b is P bits, and P is not 0.

[0442] For example, as shown in Table 3, the terminal device reports N measurement reports in the first reporting resource, measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N. The first N-1 measurement reports (i.e., measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N-1) each include the first indication information and the second indication information. The first indication information each indicates "1" (only as an example, other values are also possible), indicating that there is a measurement report after each of the N-1 measurement reports or that each of the N-1 measurement reports is not the last measurement report. The second indication information in the first N-1 measurement reports (i.e., measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N-1) indicates the load sizes a, b, c, …, j, and l in turn, i.e., the load sizes of the corresponding measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N are a, b, c, …, j, and l in turn. The first indication information of the last measurement report (i.e., measurement report #N) indicates "0" (only as an example, other values are also possible), indicating that the measurement report #N is the last measurement report or that there is no measurement report after the measurement report #N. Optionally, the last measurement report (i.e., measurement report #N) does not include the second indication information. Alternatively, the last measurement report (i.e., measurement report #N) includes the second indication information, and the second indication information indicates the load size k = 0. The load size of the first measurement report (i.e., measurement report #1) is X. Optionally, the unit of the load size can be bits.

[0443] Table 3

[0444] In another implementation, if the measurement report #a of the N measurement reports only includes the second indication information, when the second indication information is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b is 0, it means that there is the measurement report #a, and there is no measurement report #b after the measurement report #a; when the second indication information is used to indicate that the load size of the measurement report #b is P bit, it means that there is the measurement report #a, there is the measurement report #b after the measurement report #a, and the load size of the measurement report #b is P bit, P is not 0.

[0445] In another implementation, if the measurement report #a of the N measurement reports includes the first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement report #a is the last measurement report of the N measurement reports.

[0446] Case two: the first device sends the first information to the second device through the first reporting resource.

[0447] The first information is used to indicate whether the Q1 measurement reports are reported or exist. The N1 measurement report configurations in the step S501b include Q1 measurement report configurations, the Q1 measurement report configurations correspond to the Q1 measurement reports one by one, and Q1 is a positive integer greater than or equal to N and less than or equal to N1.

[0448] In an example, the Q1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the Q1 measurement reports can be associated with the first reporting resource. That is, the Q1 measurement reports can be transmitted through the first reporting resource. Alternatively, the Q1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the Q1 measurement reports are all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource, or the Q1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the Q1 measurement reports are all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource.

[0449] Optionally, the Q1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the Q1 measurement reports can be associated with the same scheduling request or indication resource. That is, when the event of any one or more of the Q1 measurement report configurations occurs, the terminal device can send indication information to the network device through the scheduling request or indication resource to indicate that the event occurs.

[0450] In another example, N1=Q1, that is, the Q1 measurement report configurations are the N1 measurement report configurations in the step S501b. In one possible way, the Q1 measurement report configurations are all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations of the terminal device or all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations with reporting quantity. Optionally, the Q1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the Q1 measurement reports can be associated with the same or different reporting resources, and the same or different reporting resources include the first reporting resource.

[0451] For example, the first information can be in the form of bitmap, when Q1 is equal to N1, the size of the first information can be N1 bits, each of the N1 bits corresponds to one of the N1 measurement reports, for example, bit "1" means the measurement report is reported or exists, and bit "0" means the measurement report is not reported or does not exist. As an example, N1 = Q1 = 4, corresponding to measurement report #1, measurement report #2, measurement report #3 and measurement report #4 respectively, then bitmap = "1010" can be understood as: the first device sends measurement report #1 and measurement report #3 to the second device through the first reporting resource, and measurement report #2 and measurement report #4 are not reported or do not exist, i.e. N = 2. As another example, when Q1 is less than N1, the first information can be indicated by Q1 bits, that is, the first information occupies Q1 bits, each of the Q1 bits corresponds to one of the Q1 measurement reports, for example, bit "1" means the measurement report is reported or exists, and bit "0" means the measurement report is not reported or does not exist. As an example, N1 = 6, Q1 = 4, corresponding to measurement report #1, measurement report #2, measurement report #3 and measurement report #4 respectively, then bitmap = "1010", which can be understood as: the first device sends measurement report #1 and measurement report #3 to the second device through the first reporting resource, and measurement report #2 and measurement report #4 are not reported or do not exist.

[0452] Case three: the first device sends N measurement reports and the first information to the second device through the first reporting resource.

[0453] Among them, the measurement report #a in the N measurement reports includes the first indication information and / or the second indication information, and the specific interpretation of the first indication information, 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.

[0454] For example, in this case, the first device sends N measurement reports and the first information to the second device, the measurement report #a in the N measurement reports includes the second indication information, and correspondingly, the second device can not only know whether each of the Q1 measurement reports is reported or exists, but also know the load size of each of the received N measurement reports. As another example, in this case, the first device sends N measurement reports and the first information to the second device, the measurement report #a in the N measurement reports includes the first indication information and the second indication information, and correspondingly, the second device can not only know whether each of the Q1 measurement reports is reported or exists, but also know whether each of the received N measurement reports is the last one of the N measurement reports, and also know the load size of each of the received N measurement reports.

[0455] For example, as shown in Table 4 below, the terminal device reports N measurement reports and first information in the first reporting resource, the first information includes Q1 bits, the Q1 bits contain information about whether Q1 measurement reports exist, and the Q1 bits from high to low correspond to whether Q1 measurement reports with indexes from small to large exist in turn, or vice versa, for example, the Q1 bits from high to low correspond to whether Q1 measurement reports with indexes from large to small exist in turn. Alternatively, the Q1 bits from high to low correspond to whether Q1 measurement reports with priorities from low to high exist in turn, or vice versa, for example, the Q1 bits from high to low correspond to whether Q1 measurement reports with priorities from high to low exist in turn. Each bit of the Q1 bits has a bit value of "1" indicating existence, or a bit value of "0" indicating non-existence, or vice versa, for example, each bit of the Q1 bits has a bit value of "0" indicating existence, or a bit value of "1" indicating non-existence. For example, Q1 = 4, corresponding to measurement report #1, measurement report #2, measurement report #3 and measurement report #4 respectively, the first information is "1010", corresponding to measurement report #1, measurement report #2, measurement report #3 and measurement report #4 in turn, and a bit value of "1" indicates existence, or a bit value of "0" indicates non-existence, then the first reporting resource exists measurement report #1 and measurement report #3, and does not exist measurement report #2 and measurement report #4.

[0456] Table 4

[0457] Next, in combination with the first mode, the second mode, the third mode or the fourth mode, the determination of the load size of the N measurement reports reported by the first device, and the reporting mode of the N measurement reports are exemplarily described.

[0458] Mode one: the load sizes of the N measurement reports are the same, or in other words, the load sizes of the N-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report in the N 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 first or in the first position in the N measurement reports.

[0459] For example, as shown in Table 5 below, the terminal device reports N measurement reports through the first reporting resource, and the load size of each measurement report is P bits.

[0460] Table 5

[0461] It can be understood that the load size of other N-1 measurement reports in the N measurement reports is the same as the load size of the first measurement report reported in the N measurement reports. For ease of description, the determination manner of the load size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports is taken as an example for illustration in the following examples. The determination manner of the load size of other N-1 measurement reports is similar and will not be described herein.

[0462] In an implementation manner, the load size of the first measurement report reported in the N measurement reports is determined according to a measurement report with the largest required load size among the load sizes of the W1 measurement reports corresponding to the W1 measurement report configurations. The N1 measurement report configurations in the step S501b include the W1 measurement report configurations, the W1 measurement report configurations correspond to the W1 measurement reports one by one, and W1 is a positive integer greater than or equal to N and less than or equal to N1. The W1 measurement report configurations are associated with T1 events corresponding to S1 cells, the S1 cells belong to M1 cells, and the T1 events belong to X1 events. S1 is a positive integer less than or equal to M1, and T1 is a positive integer less than or equal to X1.

[0463] 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 in other words, the W1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the W1 measurement reports are all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource, or the W1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the W1 measurement reports are all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations associated with the first reporting resource. Optionally, W1 is equal to Q1 described above, that is, the W1 measurement report configurations are the Q1 measurement report configurations described above.

[0464] Optionally, the Q1 measurement report configurations corresponding to the Q1 measurement reports can be associated with the same scheduling request or indication resource. That is, when the events of any one or more measurement report configurations in the Q1 measurement report configurations occur, the terminal can send indication information through the scheduling request or indication resource to indicate that the events occur.

[0465] In another example, W1=N1, that is, the W1 measurement report configurations are the N1 measurement report configurations in the step S501b described above, and then S1=M1 and T1=X1. In a possible understanding, the W1 measurement report configurations are all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations of the terminal device or all event-triggered reporting related measurement report configurations with reporting quantities. 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.

[0466] In example 1, a load size of a first measurement report reported in N measurement reports is determined according to a maximum load size required by measurement results of a first event of T1 events corresponding to S cells.

[0467] In step one, a load size required by each event of T1 events is determined.

[0468] For example, taking the first event as an example, a load size required by measurement results of the first event of T1 events is determined according to one or more reporting parameters corresponding to the first event and a reporting number of the one or more reporting parameters.

[0469] 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 of T1 events, that is, a load size required by each event of T1 events is determined according to one or more reporting parameters corresponding to each event and a reporting number of the one or more reporting parameters.

[0470] Exemplarily, the terminal device determines reporting parameters corresponding to the 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 can be determined by the terminal device, which is not limited. Correspondingly, the terminal device reserves a reporting space corresponding to the event according to a maximum reporting number corresponding to each reporting parameter determined by at least one of configuration, predefinition and terminal capability. The reporting space is a sum of a product of a maximum reporting number corresponding to each reporting parameter and a load size required by each reporting parameter.

[0471] 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 parameters corresponding to the event #1 include a reporting parameter #x when the event #1 occurs, the reporting parameter #x can be any one of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #18. Assuming that a load size required by reporting one reporting parameter #x is a, if k reporting parameters #x need to be reported when the event #1 occurs, a load size required by the terminal device for reporting measurement results related to the event #1 is a*k, k is a positive integer.

[0472] For another example, assume that there is a first event (e.g., event #2 or event #3) occurs, which can be one of the aforementioned events #A to #K. If the corresponding reporting parameters of event #2 include reporting parameter #y and reporting parameter #z, the reporting parameter #y and reporting parameter #z can be any of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1-#18. The number of reporting parameter #y and reporting parameter #z that need to be reported when event #2 occurs is m and n, respectively. The corresponding reporting parameters of event #3 include reporting parameter #y and reporting parameter #f, which can be any of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1-#18. The number of reporting parameter #y and reporting parameter #f that need to be reported when event #3 occurs is f and g, respectively. The required load sizes of reporting parameter #y, reporting parameter #z and reporting parameter #f are a, b and c, respectively. The required load size for reporting the measurement result related to event #2 is a*m+b*n, and the required load size for reporting the measurement result related to event #3 is b*f+c*g. The k, m, n, f and g are all positive integers.

[0473] Optionally, the load sizes corresponding to the measurement results related to at least two of the T1 events are different. For example, the T1 events include event 1, event 2 and event 3, wherein the load size corresponding to the measurement result related to event 1 is a, the load size corresponding to the measurement result related to event 2 is b, and the load size corresponding to the measurement result related to event 3 is c, and a, b and c are all different. Alternatively, the load sizes corresponding to the measurement results related to event 1 and event 2 are both a, and the load size corresponding to the measurement result related to event 3 is b, and a and b are different.

[0474] Optionally, if the number of reporting of a reporting parameter that satisfies the event occurrence condition is less than the maximum number of reporting of the reporting parameter configured by the network side, the terminal device can report the remaining space in any of the following ways.

[0475] (1) filling a predefined value, for example, 0;

[0476] (2) reporting the measurement quantity corresponding to the reporting parameter that does not satisfy the event condition;

[0477] (3) repeatedly reporting the measurement quantity corresponding to the reporting parameter that satisfies the event condition;

[0478] (4) reporting the measurement quantity corresponding to another reporting parameter.

[0479] For example, the number of reported parameters #x satisfying the condition of event #1 (e.g., 3) is less than the maximum number of reported parameters #x configured by the network side (e.g., 4), and when event #1 occurs, the terminal device can report the measurement quantity of 3 reported parameters #x satisfying the condition of event #1, and can report the empty space (i.e., the remaining 1 reported parameter #x corresponding to the reported space) in any of the following ways. Wherein the event #1 can be one of the aforementioned events #A to #K, and the reported parameter #x can be any of the aforementioned reported parameters #1 to #18.

[0480] (1) Fill in a predefined value, for example, fill in 0;

[0481] (2) Report the measurement quantity corresponding to the reported parameter #x that does not satisfy the event condition, that is, report 1 reported parameter #x that does not satisfy the condition of event #1;

[0482] (3) Repeat the measurement quantity corresponding to the reported parameter #x that satisfies the event condition, that is, report any one of the 3 reported parameters #x that satisfy the condition of event #1.

[0483] (4) Report the measurement quantity corresponding to other reported parameters, for example, report the measurement quantity corresponding to the reported parameter #y.

[0484] For example, assuming that the reported parameters corresponding to event q include reported parameter #1 (e.g., second beam index) and reported parameter #2 (e.g., second beam quality), the maximum number of reported parameters #1 and reported parameter #2 is n3 and n4, respectively, for example, n3 = 3, n4 = 3; when the number of second beams satisfying the condition of event q is n1, for example, n1 = 2, then the terminal device can report n1 = 2 second beam indexes and their corresponding n1 = 2 second beam qualities, and for the positions corresponding to the 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 their corresponding n4 = 3 second beam qualities, wherein n1 = 2 second beam indexes and their corresponding n1 = 2 second beam qualities satisfy the condition of event q, and the other n3-n1 = 1 second beam indexes and their corresponding n4-n1 = 1 second beam qualities do not satisfy the condition of event q; or, the terminal device can select n3-n1 = 1 second beam indexes and their corresponding n4-n1 = 1 second beam qualities from n1 = 2 second beam indexes and their corresponding n1 = 2 second beam qualities that satisfy the condition of event q to repeat the report; or, the terminal device can report n3-n1 = 1 service beam indexes and corresponding n4-n1 = 1 service beam qualities. It can be understood that the event q in the example of the present application can be one of the aforementioned events #A to #K.

[0485] Optionally, if the number of the reporting parameters satisfying the event occurrence condition is greater than or equal to the maximum number of the reporting parameters configured by the network side, for example, the number of the reporting parameters satisfying the event occurrence condition is equal to the maximum number of the reporting parameters configured by the network side, the terminal device can report all the measurement quantities of the reporting parameters satisfying the event occurrence condition, and the reporting space is the sum of the product of the number of each reporting parameter corresponding to the reporting parameters corresponding to the event and the load size required by each reporting parameter.

[0486] For example, the maximum number of reporting parameter #a and reporting parameter #b configured by the network side is n1 and n2 respectively, the number of reporting parameter #a satisfying the event q condition is n, which is greater than or equal to n1, the number of reporting parameter #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 #18. For example, if n is equal to n1 and m is equal to n2, the terminal device reports the measurement quantities of n reporting parameters #a satisfying the event q condition and the measurement quantities of m reporting parameters #b satisfying the event q condition, that is, the load size required by the terminal device to report the measurement results related to the event q is S=P1*n1+P2*n2, P1 and P2 are the load sizes required by the reporting parameter #a and the reporting parameter #b respectively; if n is greater than n1 and m is greater than n2, the terminal device can report the measurement quantities of n1 reporting parameters #a satisfying the event q condition and the measurement quantities of n2 reporting parameters #b satisfying the event q condition in the pre-defined or pre-configured order, at this time, there are n-n1 measurement quantities of reporting parameters #a satisfying the event q condition and m-n2 measurement quantities of reporting parameters #b satisfying the event q condition that are not reported (or discarded), that is, the load size required by the terminal device to report the measurement results related to the event q is S=P1*n1+P2*n2, P1 and P2 are the load sizes required by the reporting parameter #a and the reporting parameter #b respectively.

[0487] Step two, determine the event with the largest required load size in S1 cells, the required load size of the measurement result related to the event is the load size of the first measurement report in N measurement reports. That is, the event with the largest required load size in T1 events corresponding to S1 cells, the required load size of the measurement result related to the event is the load size of the first measurement report in N measurement reports.

[0488] Exemplarily, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol stipulates that the terminal device associates K CCs, for example, CC#1, CC#2, …, CC#K, and the K CCs are associated with the reporting of event triggering, wherein CC#1 supports the reporting of event triggering of event 1 and event 2, CC#2 supports the reporting of event triggering of event a and event b, …, and CC#K supports the reporting of event triggering of event i and event ii. Wherein, the required load size of the measurement result related to each event in each of the K CCs can be determined according to the above step one, if the required load size of the measurement result related to all events of the K CCs is the largest in event i of CC#K, and the corresponding load size is Xi, then the terminal device determines that the required load size of the measurement result related to event i is the load size of the first measurement report in N measurement reports, that is, the payload size is F=Xi. That is, the payload size of each measurement report in N measurement reports is F=Xi.

[0489] As shown in the following table 6, it is assumed that the network device configures multiple cells for the terminal device, for example, CC#1, CC#2 and CC#3 are associated with the reporting of event triggering, and the required load sizes of the measurement results related to all events (for example, event 1, event 2, event a, event b, event i and event ii) of the three CCs are Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6 respectively, wherein the Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6 can be determined by the above step one, which is not described here. Wherein Z3 is the largest, then the terminal device can determine that the required load size of the measurement result related to event a is the load size of the first measurement report in N measurement reports, that is, the payload size is F=Z3.

[0490] Table 6

[0491] Optionally, when there is one or more events on one or more CCs, and the required load size of the measurement result related to one or more events of one or more CCs is less than Xi, then the remaining positions can be filled with special values; when the required load size of the measurement result related to one or more events of one or more CCs is greater than Xi, then the redundant part can be discarded according to the predefined priority.

[0492] For example, if only one event of one CC occurs, e.g. event 1 of CC#1 occurs, the payload size of event 1 of CC#1 is less than Xi, the remaining space is filled with special value, e.g. all 0, the payload size of the corresponding load is Xi-x1. If event 1 and event 2 of CC#1 occur and event b of CC#2 occurs, the payload size of the measurement results related to event 1, event 2 and event b is X1+X2+Xa, which is greater than Xi, the excess part is discarded according to the predefined priority, e.g. the reporting priority of CC#1 is higher than that of CC#2, X1+X2 is less than Xi, 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.

[0493] In example 2, the payload size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports is determined according to the cell with the largest payload size of the measurement results related to the reported events in the S1 cells.

[0494] Step 1: determine the payload size required by each of the S1 cells.

[0495] For example, taking the first cell as an example, the payload size required by the first cell in the S1 cells to report the measurement results related to the events is determined according to the event with the largest payload size of the measurement results related to the reported events in the one or more events corresponding to the first cell. That is, the payload size required by a cell in the S1 cells to report the measurement results related to the event triggered by the cell is determined according to the event with the largest payload size of the measurement results related to the reported events in the one or more events supported by the cell.

[0496] 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 events of a cell#1 (i.e. the first cell), respectively event 1, event 2, …, event K, and the payload size required by the terminal device to report the measurement results related to each event is respectively P1, P2, …, PK, wherein P1, P2, …, PK can be determined according to step 1 in the foregoing example 1, which is not repeated here. Assuming that the payload size required by the measurement results related to event n in the K events is the largest Pn, the terminal device determines that the payload size required by the measurement results related to the event triggered by the cell#1 to report is: Z=Pn. Alternatively, event 1, event 2, …, event K can be any one of the foregoing event#A to event#K.

[0497] Optionally, if one or more events occur in 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.

[0498] For example, the first cell in S1 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 first cell. That is, the size of the load required for reporting the measurement results related to one cell in S1 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.

[0499] For example, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol specifies that K events associated with one cell #1 (i.e., the first cell) of the terminal device are event 1, event 2, …, event K, respectively, and the size of the load required for reporting each event-related measurement result is 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.

[0500] As shown in Table 7 below, 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 cells, 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 N measurement reports, i.e., the size of the payload is F = Z2.

[0501] Table 7

[0502] Optionally, if K events 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 specified by the protocol (for example, the event index is from small to large or from large to small, or other specified order), and the order of reporting the corresponding reporting parameters of each event.

[0503] 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).

[0504] 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.

[0505] For example, the first cell in S1 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 S1 cells. That is, the load size required by the measurement result related to a certain cell in S1 cells is determined according to the sum of the load sizes required by the union of all reporting parameters corresponding to all events in S1 cells.

[0506] For example, the network device configures, and / or the terminal device determines, and / or the protocol stipulates that K events associated with a cell #1 (i.e., a first cell) of the terminal device are event 1, event 2, …, event K respectively, and the union of the reporting parameters corresponding to all the events is reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j, that is, at least one event exists reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j, and optionally, reporting parameter #a, reporting parameter #b, …, reporting parameter #j can be any one of the foregoing reporting parameters #1-#18, 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 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.

[0507] Optionally, if K events 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.

[0508] 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 (e.g., 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 (e.g., 0).

[0509] Optionally, the first 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 first cell can be one or more of the S1 cells.

[0510] Step two, determine the cell with the largest required load size in the S1 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 N measurement reports.

[0511] 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. Among the K CCs, the required load size of the event-related measurement result of CC#n is the largest, which is Zn, and the terminal device determines the required load size of the event-related measurement result of CC#n, which is the load size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports, i.e., the payload size is F=Zn. That is, the payload size of each measurement report in the N measurement reports is F=Zn.

[0512] Optionally, when there is an event in CC#1 among the K CCs, the required load size a of the event-related measurement result of the CC#1 is less than F, and 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 a CC, refer to the related description of step 2 above.

[0513] Optionally, when there is an event in one or more CCs among the K CCs, the required load size b of the event-related measurement result of the one or more CCs is less than F, and 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 one or more CCs is greater than F, the excess part can be discarded according to a predefined priority, for example, the event-related measurement result of the scell or the neighboring cell can be discarded.

[0514] Example 3: The load size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports is determined by at least one of signaling indication or configuration by the network device, predefinition, or terminal capability.

[0515] As an example, the first apparatus receives second information indicating a load size of a first measurement report of the N measurement reports; and determines the load size of the first measurement report of the N measurement reports according to the second information. Since the load sizes of the N measurement reports are the same, the load sizes of the N-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report of the N measurement reports can be further determined to be the same as the load size of the first measurement report indicated by the second information.

[0516] In another implementation, the load sizes of the N measurement reports can be determined by at least one of signaling, predefinition, or terminal capability.

[0517] As an example, the first apparatus receives fourth information indicating a first load size, the first load size being a load size of each of the N measurement reports; and determines the load size of each of the N measurement reports to be the first load size according to the fourth information. At this time, the load size of the first measurement report of the N measurement reports and the load sizes of the N-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report of the N measurement reports are all the first load size.

[0518] 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 of the N measurement reports, and then indicate the first load size to the first apparatus. The first set can be predefined or preconfigured, without limitation. Alternatively, the first set can be replaced by a first group or a first list including the one or more load sizes.

[0519] In yet another implementation, the load size required by each of the N measurement reports can be determined by at least one of signaling, predefinition, or terminal capability, and the terminal device can select a load size of a measurement report with the largest required load size of the N measurement reports as a second load size, and determine the load size of each of the N measurement reports to be the second load size. At this time, the load size of the first measurement report of the N measurement reports and the load sizes of the N-1 measurement reports other than the first measurement report of the N measurement reports are all the second load size.

[0520] As an example, the first apparatus receives fifth information configuring the load sizes required by each of the N measurement reports to be g1, g2, …, gn, …, gN in turn, where gn is the maximum value, and the terminal device can determine the load size of each of the N measurement reports to be gn.

[0521] As shown in Table 8, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with two measurement report configurations, for example, CSI-ReportConfig#k and CSI-ReportConfig#m, corresponding to CSI-Report#k and CSI-Report#m respectively. Among them, CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, and 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 event 1 corresponding to CC#k and event 2 corresponding to CC#m satisfy the event triggering condition, that is, event 1 and event 2 occur, and event 3 does not occur, the terminal device can send N=2 measurement reports, for example, CSI-Report#k and CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, M=2 and X=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to M cells, that is, cells in which events occur, and event 1 and event 2 belong to X events, that is, events that occur. Event 1, event 2 or event 3 can be one of the aforementioned events #A to events #K, which is not limited.

[0522] Among them, CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0523] • Measurement results related to event 1 associated with CSI-Report#k (for example, reporting parameters corresponding to event 1 (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to reporting parameters #18));

[0524] • The number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 1;

[0525] • Information of the third cell (for example, the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0526] • Index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k (for example, CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0527] • Information of the fourth cell (for example, the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with CSI-Report#k belongs, or in other words, the cell to which the event associated with CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0528] • First indication information (for example, bit "1", used to indicate that the CSI-Report#k is not the last measurement report of N=2 measurement reports or to indicate that there is a measurement report after the CSI-Report#k).

[0529] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the CSI-Report#k is p1 bits, p1 < P, P being the load size of each measurement report, the other P-p1 bits are filled with special values, for example, all 0.

[0530] wherein the CSI-Report#m includes at least one of the following:

[0531] • the measurement result of event 2 associated with the CSI-Report#m (for example, the reporting parameter corresponding to event 2 (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameter #1 to reporting parameter #18));

[0532] • the reporting number corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 2;

[0533] • the information of the third cell (for example, the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0534] • the index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m (for example, CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0535] • the information of the fourth cell (for example, the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs, or in other words, the cell to which the event associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0536] • the first indication information (for example, bit "0", used to indicate that the CSI-Report#m is the last measurement report in N=2 measurement reports or that there is no measurement report after the CSI-Report#m).

[0537] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2 < P, P being the load size of each measurement report, the other P-p2 bits are filled with special values, for example, all 0.

[0538] Table 8

[0539] As can be seen from the above table 8, the first indication information in the CSI-Report#k or CSI-Report#m is located after the reporting contents and before the filled special values. Optionally, the first indication information can also be located after the filled special values, as shown in the following table 9, or the first indication information can also be located before the reporting contents, as shown in the following table 10. The present application does not limit the position of the first indication information in the measurement report.

[0540] Table 9

[0541] Table 10

[0542] The above Tables 6 to 10 are only examples given for the convenience of understanding, and other schemes are not excluded, for example, the number of reported measurement reports, the content of the related measurement results of the events corresponding to the cells carried in the measurement reports are not limited by the present application.

[0543] The second way: the load size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports is fixed, and the other N-1 measurement reports are determined according to the second indication information carried in the previous measurement report.

[0544] For example, as shown in the following Table 11, the terminal device reports N measurement reports through the first reporting resource, the load size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports is fixed as Xbit, and the other N-1 measurement reports (i.e. measurement report #2, measurement report #3, …, measurement report #N) are determined according to the second indication information carried in the previous measurement report, that is, the second indication information in the first N-1 measurement reports (i.e. measurement report #1, measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N-1) indicates the load size as a, b, c, … j, l in turn, that is, the load size of the corresponding measurement report #2, …, measurement report #N is a, b, c, … j, l in turn.

[0545] Table 11

[0546] In other words, the load size of the i-th measurement report reported in the N measurement reports is determined according to the second indication information carried in the (i-1)-th measurement report reported, that is, the (i-1)-th measurement report can carry the second indication information, which is used to indicate the load size of the first measurement report immediately after 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 N.

[0547] Optionally, the load sizes of the N measurement reports can be different, or there can be at least one measurement report in the other N-1 measurement reports in the N measurement reports, whose load size is the same as that of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports, which is not limited.

[0548] Step one, determine the load size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports, the specific implementation mode can refer to the description of the determination mode of the first measurement report in the above way one, for the sake of brevity, will not be repeated here.

[0549] Step two, determine the load size of the other N-1 measurement reports in the N measurement reports except the first measurement report.

[0550] As an example, according to the second indication information carried in the previous measurement report (e.g., measurement report #a), the load size of the measurement report (e.g., measurement report #b) immediately following the measurement report is determined. That is, the first N-1 of the N measurement reports can respectively carry a second indication information, and the N-1 second indication information respectively indicates the load size of the last N-1 of the N measurement reports. For example, the second indication information carried in the first measurement report is used to indicate the load size of the second measurement report, the second indication information carried in the second measurement report is used to indicate the load size of the third measurement report, and so on. The second indication information carried in the N-1 measurement report is used to indicate the load size of the N measurement report. Alternatively, the N measurement report can not carry the second indication information, or it can also carry the second indication information, at this time the second indication information indicates that the load size after the N measurement report is 0 or the second indication information is meaningless and is not limited.

[0551] As shown in Table 12, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with three measurement report configurations, such as CSI-ReportConfig#k, CSI-ReportConfig#m and CSI-ReportConfig#n, corresponding to CSI-Report#k, CSI-Report#m and CSI-Report#n respectively. Among them, CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (such as event 1) corresponding to CC#k, CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (such as event 2 and event 3) corresponding to CC#m, and CSI-ReportConfig#n is associated with at least one event (such as event 4 and event 5) corresponding to CC#n. It can be understood that in this implementation mode, the load sizes of the three measurement reports corresponding to the three measurement report configurations can be the same, such as P bits, or they can be different and are 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 N=2 measurement reports, such as CSI-Report#k and CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, M=2 and X=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to M cells, that is, cells where events occur, and event 1 and event 3 belong to X events, that is, events that occur. Event 1, event 2 or event 3 can be one of the aforementioned events #A to event #K, and is not limited.

[0552] Among them, the CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0553] • Measurement results related to Event 1 associated with CSI-Report#k (e.g., reporting parameters corresponding to Event 1 (at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #18));

[0554] • Number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to Event 1;

[0555] • Information of the third cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0556] • Index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0557] • Information of the fourth cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with CSI-Report#k belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0558] • First indication information (e.g., bit "1", used to indicate that the CSI-Report#k is not the last measurement report in N=2 measurement reports or that there is a measurement report after the CSI-Report#k);

[0559] • Second indication information (e.g., bits, used to indicate that the load size of the CSI-Report#m immediately following the CSI-Report#k is bits).

[0560] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the CSI-Report#k is p1 bits, p1

[0561] Among them, CSI-Report#m includes at least one of the following:

[0562] • Measurement results related to Event 3 associated with CSI-Report#m (e.g., reporting parameters corresponding to Event 3 (at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #18));

[0563] • Information of the third cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0564] • Index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#m (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0565] • information of the fourth cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0566] • first indication information (e.g., bit "0", used to indicate that the CSI-Report#m is the last measurement report in N=2 measurement reports or that there is no measurement report after the CSI-Report#m);

[0567] • second indication information (e.g., all 0s, used to indicate that the size of the load after the CSI-Report#m is 0, i.e., there is no other measurement report after the CSI-Report#m).

[0568] Optionally, assuming that the actual required size of the load of all the reporting contents included in the CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2 < Q, Q being the size of the load of the second measurement report (e.g., the CSI-Report#m), the other Q-p2 bits are filled with special values, e.g., all 0s.

[0569] Table 12

[0570] As can be seen from the above Table 12, the first indication information and / or the second indication information in the CSI-Report#k or the CSI-Report#m is located after the reporting contents and before the special values filled, optionally, the first indication information and / or the second indication information can also be located after the special values filled, as shown in Table 13 below, or the first indication information and / or the second indication information can also be located before the reporting contents (not shown in the table), and the present application does not limit the location of the first indication information and / or the second indication information in the measurement report. As can be seen from Table 12 or Table 13, the first indication information is located before the second indication information, optionally, the first indication information can also be located after the second indication information, which is not limited.

[0571] Table 13

[0572] As shown in Table 14 below, the difference from Table 13 is that the second indication information can also be located before the reported content. For example, the second indication information occupies the first bit of the measurement report. Furthermore, neither CSI-Report#k nor CSI-Report#m in Table 14 carries the first indication information. That is, there is no need to indicate whether the currently sent CSI-Report#k or CSI-Report#m is the last measurement report among the N=2 reported measurement reports. The load size indicated by the second indication information carried in the measurement report implicitly indicates whether the measurement report is the last measurement report.

[0573] Table 14

[0574] Tables 12 to 14 above are merely examples for ease of understanding, and other solutions are not excluded. For example, this application does not limit the number of reported measurement reports or the content of the relevant measurement results of the events corresponding to the cells carried in the measurement reports.

[0575] As another example, the load size of a measurement report (e.g., measurement report #b) immediately following a measurement report is determined based on at least one of the following indications carried in the previous measurement report (e.g., measurement report #a).

[0576] For example, measurement report #a in N measurement reports may also include at least one of the following: third instruction information, fourth instruction information, fifth instruction information, sixth instruction information, and seventh instruction information.

[0577] (1) The third indication information is used to indicate the information of the third event. Measurement report #b following measurement report #a includes the measurement results related to the third event. The third event belongs to X events. It can be understood that the third event is the event that has occurred. The third event is associated with the measurement report configuration corresponding to measurement report #b. In other words, the third event is the event that occurred on the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to measurement report #b belongs.

[0578] For example, the size of the third indication information can be Each bit (can indicate an event index). Here, T1 represents the number of all events configured in S1 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 the network device configures events 1 and 2 for the terminal device, or all cells of the terminal device configure events 1 and / or 2, then T1 = 2, and the size of the third indication information can be... bits. For example, when the bit is "0", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1, and when the bit is "1", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 2; or vice versa, for example, when the bit is "1", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1, and when the bit is "0", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 2. The size (or the number of bits occupied) and the form of the third indication information are not limited in the present application.

[0579] For another example, the size of the third indication information can be T1 bits (for example, bitmap), where T1 is the number of all events configured for S1 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, it is assumed 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 third indication information can be For example, when the bit is "1", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1, and when the bit is "0", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 2, and when the bit is "1", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1 and event 2; or vice versa, for example, when the bit is "1", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1, and when the bit is "0", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 2, and when the bit is "0", it can represent that the measurement report #b includes the measurement result corresponding to the occurrence of event 1 and event 2.

[0580] (2) The fourth 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 #a, where the first beam is a serving beam, and the second beam is a beam different from the first beam.

[0581] For example, the size of the fourth indication information can be bits, and R is 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 corresponding to T1 events configured for S1 cells. For example, it is assumed that the network device configures the number of reported beams corresponding to event 1 and event 2 for cell #1 associated with the terminal device to be 4, then S1 = 1, T1 = 2, and R = 4, and the size of the fourth indication information can be Bit.

[0582] (3) The fifth indication information is used to indicate information of a fifth cell, and the measurement report configuration corresponding to the measurement report #b after the measurement report #a belongs to the fifth cell. In other words, the measurement report #b corresponding to the measurement report configuration includes measurement results related to events occurring on the fifth cell.

[0583] (4) The sixth indication information is used to indicate information of a sixth cell, and the measurement report #b after the measurement report #a is obtained by measuring reference signal resources of the sixth cell, or the event related measurement results in the measurement report #b after the measurement report #a correspond to events of the sixth cell.

[0584] (5) The seventh indication information is used to indicate an index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to the measurement report #b after the measurement report #a.

[0585] Optionally, it is assumed that the measurement report #a includes the first indication information, the third indication information, and the fourth indication information, wherein when the first indication information indicates that the measurement report #a is the last measurement report in the N measurement reports this time, it means that there is no measurement report #b after the measurement report #a, and at this time, the measurement report #a can carry the third indication information (reserved) and the fourth indication information (reserved), but the third indication information and the fourth indication information are meaningless.

[0586] Optionally, it is assumed that the measurement report #a includes the first indication information, the third indication information, and the fourth indication information, wherein when the first indication information indicates that the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in the N measurement reports this time (or an event triggered measurement report), it means that there is a measurement report #b after the measurement report #a, and at this time, the measurement report #a can carry the third indication information and the fourth indication information (reserved), for example, the third indication information indicates event 1, which is the aforementioned event #A, indicating that the measurement report #b includes measurement results related to event 1, and the fourth indication information is meaningless.

[0587] Optionally, it is assumed that the measurement report #a includes the first indication information, the third indication information, and the fourth indication information, wherein when the first indication information indicates that the measurement report #a is not the last measurement report in the N measurement reports this time (or an event triggered measurement report), it means that there is a measurement report #b after the measurement report #a, and at this time, the measurement report #a can carry the third indication information and the fourth indication information, for example, the third indication information indicates event 1, indicating that the measurement report #b includes measurement results related to event 1, and the fourth indication information indicates 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 included in the measurement report #b.

[0588] For example, assume that the first measurement report of the N=2 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 first indication information and the second indication information, wherein the first indication information is used to indicate that the first measurement report is not the last measurement report of the N=2 measurement reports, or is used to indicate that the first measurement report is followed by the second measurement report, and the second 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 third indication information and the fifth indication information, the third 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. That is, 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 M cells, i.e. the cells in which the events occur, and the event p and the event q belong to the X 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.

[0589] In an example, the jthmeasurement report of the N measurement reports includes the second event related measurement result corresponding to the second cell, and the load size of the jthmeasurement report is P bits, P is greater than 0. Wherein the second cell belongs to the M cells, and the second event belongs to the X events, and the number of the second cell or the second event is not limited in the present application. The load sizes of the other N-1 measurement reports can be P bits or P’ bits, which are not limited.

[0590] It can be understood that the jthmeasurement report includes the first indication information and / or the second indication information in addition to the second event related measurement result corresponding to the second cell. For example, when the sum of the load size required by the second event related measurement result corresponding to the second cell and the load size required by the first indication information and / or the second 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.

[0591] Further, the jthmeasurement report can further comprise at least one of the third indication information, the fourth 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 related to the second event corresponding to the second cell, and the load size required by the first indication information and / or the second indication information carried in the jthmeasurement report, and the sum of at least one of the third indication information, the fourth 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.

[0592] For example, it is assumed that the first measurement report in N=2 measurement reports comprises the measurement result related to event p corresponding to cell #1, the load size of the first measurement report is P bits, the load size required by the measurement result related to event p corresponding to cell #1 is pi, and both P and pi are greater than 0. The first measurement report further comprises the first indication information and the second indication information, and the sum of the load size required by the first indication information and the second indication information is p2, and p2 is greater than 0. If pi+p2

[0593] As shown in Table 15, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with three measurement report configurations, for example, CSI-ReportConfig#k, CSI-ReportConfig#m and CSI-ReportConfig#n, corresponding to CSI-Report#k, CSI-Report#m and CSI-Report#n respectively. Among them, CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (for example, event 2 and event 3) corresponding to CC#m, and 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, 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 N=2 measurement reports, for example, CSI-Report#k and CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, M=2 and X=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to M cells, that is, cells in which events occur, and event 1 and event 3 belong to X 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.

[0594] Among them, CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0595] • Measurement result related to event 1 associated with CSI-Report#k (for example, reporting parameter corresponding to event 1 (such as at least one or more of the foregoing reporting parameters #1 to reporting parameters #18));

[0596] • Number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 1;

[0597] • Information of the third cell (for example, the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0598] • Index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k (for example, CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0599] • Information of the fourth cell (for example, the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with CSI-Report#k belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0600] • first indication information (e.g., bit "1", indicating that the CSI-Report#k is not the last one of N=2 measurement reports or indicating that there is a measurement report after the CSI-Report#k);

[0601] • third indication information (e.g., • 0 bits, meaningless) indicating the information of event 3 contained in the CSI-Report#m immediately following the CSI-Report#k);

[0602] • fourth indication information (e.g., • 0 bits, meaningless) indicating the number of reported reference signals contained in the CSI-Report#m immediately following the CSI-Report#k).

[0603] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reported contents contained in the CSI-Report#k is pi bits, pi < P, P being the load size of the first measurement report (e.g., the CSI-Report#k), the other P-pi bits are filled with special values, e.g., all 0.

[0604] wherein the CSI-Report#m includes at least one of the following:

[0605] • measurement results related to event 3 associated with the CSI-Report#m (e.g., the reported parameters corresponding to event 3 (such as at least one or more of the aforementioned reported parameters #1 to #18));

[0606] • the number of reports corresponding to each reported parameter corresponding to event 3;

[0607] • information of a third cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0608] • the index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0609] • information of a fourth cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs, or in other words, the cell to which the event associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0610] • first indication information (e.g., bit "0", indicating that the CSI-Report#m is the last one of N=2 measurement reports or indicating that there is no measurement report after the CSI-Report#m);

[0611] • third indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless);

[0612] • the fourth indication information (e.g., 0 bits, meaningless).

[0613] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2 < Q, Q is the load size of the second measurement report (e.g., CSI-Report#m), then the other Q-p2 bits are filled with special values, e.g., all 0.

[0614] Table 15

[0615] As can be seen from the above Table 15, at least one of the first indication information, the third indication information, or the fourth indication information in the CSI-Report#k or the CSI-Report#m can be located after the reporting contents and before the filled special values. Optionally, at least one of the first indication information, the third indication information, or the fourth indication information can also be located after the filled special values, as shown in the following Table 16, or at least one of the first indication information, the third indication information, or the fourth indication information can also be located before the reporting contents, as shown in the following Table 17. The present application does not limit the location of at least one of the first indication information, the third indication information, or the fourth indication information in the measurement report. As can be seen from Tables 15 to 17, the first indication information, the third indication information, and the fourth indication information are sequentially ordered in the measurement report. Optionally, the first indication information, the third indication information, and the fourth indication information can be arbitrarily placed in the order part of the measurement report without limitation.

[0616] Table 16

[0617] Table 17

[0618] As shown in Table 18, it is assumed that the first reporting resource is associated with three measurement report configurations, for example, CSI-ReportConfig#k, CSI-ReportConfig#m and CSI-ReportConfig#n, corresponding to CSI-Report#k, CSI-Report#m and CSI-Report#n respectively. Among them, CSI-ReportConfig#k is associated with at least one event (for example, event 1) corresponding to CC#k, CSI-ReportConfig#m is associated with at least one event (for example, event 2 and event 3) corresponding to CC#m, and 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 mode, 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 also 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 N=2 measurement reports, for example, CSI-Report#k and CSI-Report#m, through the first reporting resource, that is, M=2 and X=2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned CC#k and CC#m belong to M cells, that is, cells in which events occur, and event 1 and event 3 belong to X 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.

[0619] Among them, CSI-Report#k includes at least one of the following:

[0620] • Measurement results related to event 1 associated with CSI-Report#k (for example, reporting parameters corresponding to event 1 (such as at least one or more of the foregoing reporting parameters #1 to reporting parameters #18));

[0621] • The number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to event 1;

[0622] • Information of the third cell (for example, the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0623] • Index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to CSI-Report#k (for example, CSI-ReportConfig#k);

[0624] • Information of the fourth cell (for example, the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with CSI-Report#k belongs, or the cell to which the event associated with CSI-Report#k belongs);

[0625] • the first indication information (e.g., bit "1", indicating that the CSI-Report#k is not the last one of the N=2 measurement reports or that there is a measurement report after the CSI-Report#k);

[0626] • the third indication information (e.g., • the third indication information (e.g.,

[0627] • the fifth indication information (e.g., indicating the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0629] • the seventh indication information (e.g., indicating the index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig#k).

[0630] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the CSI-Report#k is pi bits, pi < P, P being the load size of the first measurement report (e.g., CSI-Report#k), the other P-pi bits are filled with special values, e.g., all 0s.

[0631] In the CSI-Report#m, at least one of the following is included:

[0632] • the measurement result related to the event 3 associated with the CSI-Report#m (e.g., the reporting parameter corresponding to the event 3 (e.g., at least one or more of the aforementioned reporting parameters #1 to #18));

[0633] • the number of reports corresponding to each reporting parameter corresponding to the event 3;

[0634] • the information of the third cell (e.g., the cell to which the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0635] • the index of the measurement report configuration corresponding to the CSI-Report#m (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig#m);

[0636] • the information of the fourth cell (e.g., the cell to which the reference signal resource associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs, or in other words, the cell to which the event associated with the CSI-Report#m belongs);

[0637] • the first indication information (e.g., bit "0", indicating that the CSI-Report#m is the last one of N=2 measurement reports or indicating that there is no measurement report after the CSI-Report#m);

[0638] • the third indication information (e.g., 0 bit, meaningless);

[0639] • the fifth indication information (e.g., 0 bit, meaningless);

[0640] • the sixth indication information (e.g., 0 bit, meaningless);

[0641] • the seventh indication information (e.g., 0 bit, meaningless).

[0642] Optionally, assuming that the actual required load size of all the reporting contents included in the CSI-Report#m is p2 bits, p2 < Q, Q is the load size of the second measurement report (e.g., CSI-Report#m), then the other Q-p2 bits are filled with special values, e.g., all 0.

[0643] Table 18

[0644] As can be seen from the above Table 18, at least one of the first indication information, the third indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information in the CSI-Report#k or the CSI-Report#m can be located after the reporting contents and before the filled special values. Optionally, at least one of the first indication information, the third indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information can also be located after the filled special values, as shown in the following Table 19, or at least one of the first indication information, the third indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, or the seventh indication information can also be located before the reporting contents, as shown in the following Table 20, and the present application does not limit the location of at least one of the first indication information, the third 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 first indication information, the third indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, and the seventh indication information are sequentially ordered in the measurement report. Optionally, the first indication information, the third indication information, the fifth indication information, the sixth indication information, and the seventh indication information can be placed in any order in the ordering part of the measurement report, without limitation.

[0645] Table 19

[0646] Table 20

[0647] The above Tables 15 to 20 are only examples given for the convenience of understanding, and other schemes are not excluded, for example, the number of reported measurement reports, the content of the related measurement results of the events corresponding to the cells carried in the measurement reports are not limited by the present application.

[0648] The third mode: the load size of the first measurement report in the N measurement reports is fixed, and the other N-1 measurement reports are determined by at least one of the signaling indication or configuration of the network device, the predefinition, or the terminal capability.
