[0046] For the convenience of understanding, some contents related to the embodiments of the present application are described as follows:

[0047] I. 5G Synchronous Signal Block (SSB)

[0048] In 5G, the structure of SSB can be as shown in FIG. 2. Specifically, the terminal first detects NR-Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) to obtain a part of the Physical Cell Identifier (PCI), i.e., N ID (2) , obtains Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol timing and frequency synchronization, and then detects Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) to obtain another part of the PCI, i.e., N ID (1) . According to N ID (2) and N ID (1) , the complete PCI is obtained, that is

[0049] Then the terminal detects the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) and the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) for demodulating the PBCH to obtain the System Frame Number (SFN) number and the SSB index, and further obtain the radio frame (subframe) timing.

[0050] The SSB period in NR is configured in System Information Block (SIB) 1 (i.e. SIB1), which can be 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms or 160ms. When the UE is in initial access, it has not received SIB1, and will search for SSBs with a default period of 20ms. SSBs do not occur once every period, but several times in a half frame, which is designed for beam sweeping. Each of the several SSBs corresponds to a beam sweeping direction, and eventually there will be an SSB for each direction. The several SSBs are called a SSB set, and all SSBs in a SSB set must be in the same half frame.

[0051] II. SSB transmission method in multi-carrier scenario

[0052] Multi-carrier is a typical operation of 5G NR networks, used to enhance network capacity. For the primary cell (PCell) or primary secondary cell (PScell), the base station must transmit periodic SSBs, and the SSB period must be less than or equal to 20ms to be successfully searched by the initial access terminal.

[0053] For intra-band secondary cells (SCells), the base station can transmit SSBs, in which case SSB-related parameters are configured when the SCell is added; or the base station can not transmit SSBs, in which case SSB-related parameters are not configured when the SCell is added, and the terminal acquires timing through the SSB on the PCell.

[0054] For inter-band SCells, the base station must transmit SSBs, and SSB-related parameters are configured when the SCell is added.

[0055] III. Energy saving of Release 18 (R18) network

[0056] Network energy efficiency is listed as one of the 13 performance requirements of the International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020) standard system. Most of the power consumption of the NR network comes from the base station, and 90% of the power consumption of the NR base station comes from the Active Antenna Unit (AAU). Due to higher frequency bands, wider bandwidths, more transceivers (TRX), and other reasons, the power consumption of a single NR base station is currently 3-4 times higher than that of LTE. In addition, in terms of operating expenses (OPEX), the electricity bill of the base station accounts for nearly 20% of the entire network operating cost. For some operators, the electricity bill is more than half of the total profit. Therefore, network energy saving of NR has become more critical to achieve the great success of 5G. According to the actual load condition, the base station can implement different degrees of energy saving measures, such as shutting down the base station, shutting down the carrier / cell, shutting down the channel, shutting down the SSB / beam, shutting down the antenna / panel, cell Discontinuous Transmission (cell DTX) and / or cell Discontinuous Reception (cell DRX), Channel State Information (CSI) adaptation, etc.

[0057] Four, Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement reporting

[0058] The measurement configuration is mainly composed of measurement object, reporting configuration and measurement identifier (ID);

[0059] Measurement Object (MO): the frequency point to be measured;

[0060] ReportConfig: contains reporting criteria (periodic / event triggered), reference signal type (e.g. SSB / Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS)), measurement reporting quantity (e.g. any combination of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) / Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) / Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio (SINR)), whether to report beam measurement result, maximum number of beams that can be reported, etc.

[0061] measld: used to associate one measurement object and one reporting configuration, one measurement object can be associated with multiple reporting configurations, one reporting configuration can be associated with multiple measurement objects.

[0062] In NR, the three of measurement object, reporting configuration and measurement ID are associated together in the following way:

[0063] One measurement reporting configuration (ReportConfig) is used to configure the triggering related parameters and reporting related parameters of measurement reporting (i.e. under what circumstances to report measurement reporting, what content to report in measurement reporting), which includes reporting type, such as periodic reporting, event triggered reporting, etc. Typical event triggered reporting includes the following:

[0064] Event A1 (Serving becomes better than threshold), i.e. serving cell signal is better than threshold;

[0065] Event A2 (Serving becomes worse than threshold), i.e. serving cell signal is worse than threshold;

[0066] Event A3 (Neighbour becomes offset better than SpCell), i.e. neighbor cell signal is better than SpCell signal by an offset;

[0067] Event A4 (Neighbour becomes better than threshold), i.e. neighbor cell signal is better than threshold;

[0068] Event A5 (SpCell becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbour becomes better than threshold2), i.e. SpCell signal worse than threshold1 and neighbour signal better than threshold2;

[0069] Event A6 (Neighbour becomes offset better than SCell), i.e. neighbour signal better than SCell signal by an offset;

[0070] Event B1 (Inter RAT neighbour becomes better than threshold), i.e. inter-RAT neighbour signal better than threshold;

[0071] Event B2 (PCell becomes worse than threshold1 and inter RAT neighbour becomes better than threshold2), i.e. PCell signal worse than threshold1 and inter-RAT neighbour signal better than threshold2.

[0072] The base station can link at least one MO to the same ReportConfig by configuring multiple Measld, or link multiple ReportConfig to the same MO.

[0073] After receiving the measurement configuration, the user equipment (UE) (i.e. terminal) measures the frequency point specified by each MO in the measurement object list to obtain the measurement value of one or more cells on the frequency point. If the MO is associated with event triggered reporting (i.e. there is a Measld corresponding to the MO, and the reporting type of the ReportConfig corresponding to the Measld is event triggered reporting), the UE determines whether there is a cell signal on the frequency point that meets the entering condition of the event. If the entering condition of the event is met, the UE starts a Time To Trigger (TTT) timer. Since the cell signal may fluctuate up and down, the TTT timer running period is an observation period, and whether the cell signal meeting the entering condition is continuously meeting the entering condition for a period of time is observed.

[0074] In a conventional RRM measurement, both Layer 3 (L3) measurement and Layer 1 (L1) measurement are included. The UE needs to report the L3 measurement result to the base station based on the L3 measurement, and then the base station instructs and achieves cell change (herein referred to as handover, redirection, secondary cell loading / activation, primary-secondary cell loading / activation, etc.) based on the L3 measurement result. In this process or after completion, the base station can further issue L1 measurement configuration on the cell as needed to instruct the UE to perform L1 measurement. In a conventional sense, the main purpose of L1 measurement is channel quality measurement, so L1 measurement is mainly used for beam management. When performing L3 measurement, the UE performs time-frequency synchronization, automatic gain control adjustment, channel quality measurement, etc.

[0075] It should be noted that in the case of supporting on-demand (OD) SSB transmission on the SSB transmission of a cell, there can be two transmission modes of OD-SSB: one is that there is no always-on SSB on the cell, only OD-SSB is configured, and the other is that there is always-on SSB on the cell, and OD-SSB is also configured.

[0076] It should be further noted that the time domain unit involved in the embodiments of the present application can be one or more symbols, slots, radio subframes, radio frames, milliseconds (ms), seconds (s), etc.

[0077] The measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0078] Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of a measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a terminal, as shown in FIG. 3, and includes the following steps:

[0079] Step 301: The terminal determines the SSB configured on a first object based on first configuration information, wherein the SSB includes at least one of a first type of SSB and a second type of SSB, the first configuration information includes at least one of SSB-related configuration information and type indication information, the type indication information is used to indicate the type of the SSB configured on the first object, and the first object includes at least one of a cell, a frequency point, and a carrier.

[0080] Exemplarily, the first type of SSB described above can be OD-SSB, and the second type of SSB described above can be always-on SSB. The OD-SSB can also be referred to as flexible SSB, or SSB that needs to be activated or deactivated, or SSB with a switch, etc. The always-on SSB can also be referred to as conventional SSB, or non-flexible SSB, or non-on-demand SSB or SSB that does not support activation or deactivation, etc.

[0081] The first object includes at least one of a cell, a frequency point, and a carrier. Specifically, the first object can be an object corresponding to the terminal, for example, the first object can be a secondary cell configured to the terminal, or a serving cell of the terminal, or a carrier for transmitting an SSB to the terminal, or a frequency point for transmitting an SSB to the terminal, and the like.

[0082] The first configuration information can be configuration information received by the terminal from the network side device. The SSB related configuration information is used to configure SSB based measurement and / or reporting. For example, the SSB related configuration information can include at least one of SSB configuration parameters, measurement configuration information, and the like. The measurement configuration information can include at least one of a measurement object, reporting configuration, and a measurement ID, and the like.

[0083] The SSB related configuration information can include at least one of the first type SSB related configuration information and the second type SSB related configuration information. It should be noted that the first type SSB related configuration information and the second type SSB related configuration information can be the same, or can be different, or can be partially the same and partially different, for example, the SSB frequency point of the first type SSB is different from the SSB frequency point of the second type SSB, and the measurement configuration information of the first type SSB is the same as the measurement configuration information of the second type SSB.

[0084] The type indication information is used to indicate the type of the SSB configured on the first object. For example, in the case that the first type SSB is configured on the first object, the type indication information can indicate that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type SSB. In the case that the second type SSB is configured on the first object, the type indication information can indicate that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type SSB. In the case that the first type SSB and the second type SSB are configured on the first object, the type indication information can indicate that the SSB configured on the first object includes at least one of the first type SSB and the second type SSB.

[0085] It should be noted that the transmission scenarios of the SSB include three transmission scenarios of before Scell activation, at Scell activation, and after Scell activation. For example, the SSB of the embodiment can be applicable to the above three transmission scenarios, or the first type SSB is only applicable to part of the above three transmission scenarios, or the second type SSB is only applicable to part of the above three transmission scenarios, for example, the second type SSB is not applicable to transmission after Scell activation.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second type of SSB related configuration information is only applicable to part of the three transmission scenarios, and the transmission parameters of the second type of SSB in other transmission scenarios are indicated by MAC CE or DCI. For example, the SSB parameters configured in the cell are applied before the Scell is activated, and the transmission parameters when activated are indicated by MAC CE.

[0087] The step 301 is exemplified as follows:

[0088] Case one: the first configuration information includes type indication information, in which case the terminal can determine the SSB configured on the first object according to the type indication information. For example, in the case where the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB; in the case where the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB; in the case where the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0089] Case two: the first configuration information includes SSB related configuration information, in which case the terminal can determine the SSB configured on the first object according to the SSB related configuration information. For example, in the case where the SSB related configuration information only includes the first type of SSB related configuration information, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB; in the case where the SSB related configuration information only includes the second type of SSB related configuration information, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB; in the case where the SSB related configuration information includes the first type of SSB related configuration information and the second type of SSB related configuration information, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB; in the case where the SSB related configuration information does not distinguish between SSB types, the terminal can not distinguish between SSB types, or can default the SSB configured on the first object to the first type of SSB.

[0090] For example, in this case, at least part of the parameters of the first type of SSB related configuration information and the second type of SSB related configuration information can be configured through different indication domains, for example, the SSB frequency of the first type of SSB is configured through a first indication domain, and the SSB frequency of the second type of SSB is configured through a second indication domain, and then different types of SSB related configuration information can be distinguished according to the indication domain.

[0091] Case three: the first configuration information includes SSB related configuration information and type indication information, in this case, the terminal can determine the SSB configured on the first object according to the type indication information, for example, in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB; in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB; in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the terminal can determine that the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0092] It should be noted that in this case, part or all of the parameters of the first type of SSB related configuration information and the second type of SSB related configuration information can be configured by different indication fields, or can be configured by the same indication field, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The indication field involved in the embodiments of the present application can also be referred to as an information field or a parameter field, etc.

[0093] It should be further noted that if the SSB related configuration information does not distinguish the SSB type, in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the SSB related configuration information can be associated with the first type of SSB; in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the SSB related configuration information can be associated with the second type of SSB; in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the SSB related configuration information can be associated with the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB. If the SSB related configuration information distinguishes the SSB type, in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the first type of SSB related configuration information is associated with the first type of SSB; in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the second type of SSB related configuration information is associated with the second type of SSB; in the case that the type indication information indicates that the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the first type of SSB related configuration information is associated with the first type of SSB, and the second type of SSB related configuration information is associated with the second type of SSB.

[0094] Step 302, the terminal performs at least one of measurement and reporting according to the SSB configured on the first object.

[0095] Exemplarily, in a case that the SSBs configured on the first object are the first type of SSBs, at least one of the measurement and the reporting can be performed based on the first type of SSBs and the SSB-related configuration information; in a case that the SSBs configured on the first object are the second type of SSBs, at least one of the measurement and the reporting can be performed based on the second type of SSBs and the SSB-related configuration information; in a case that the SSBs configured on the first object include at least one of the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, at least one of the measurement and the reporting can be performed based on at least one of the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs and the SSB-related configuration information; in a case that the SSBs configured on the first object are not distinguished by type, the terminal can perform at least one of the measurement and the reporting without distinguishing the types of the SSBs, for example, the terminal can perform at least one of the measurement and the reporting on all the SSBs in the measurement window, or the terminal can perform at least one of the measurement and the reporting on the first type of SSBs by default.

[0096] Exemplarily, in a case that the terminal performs measurement based on the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, the terminal can perform independent measurement on the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs respectively, or the terminal can perform joint measurement on the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs. In addition, in a case that the terminal performs reporting based on the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, the terminal can perform independent reporting on the measurement results of the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, or the terminal can perform joint reporting on the measurement results of the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the SSBs configured on the first object based on the first configuration information, the SSBs include at least one of the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, the first configuration information includes at least one of the SSB-related configuration information and the type indication information, the type indication information is used to indicate the type of the SSBs configured on the first object, and the first object includes at least one of a cell, a frequency point and a carrier; and the terminal performs at least one of measurement and reporting according to the SSBs configured on the first object. That is, in a case that the cell and the like object can be configured with multiple types of SSBs, the embodiment of the present application determines which type of SSBs is configured on the first object according to the first configuration information, and performs measurement and / or reporting according to the SSBs configured on the first object. This is conducive to improving the accuracy of the measurement and / or reporting of the terminal based on the SSBs, and further conducive to improving the communication quality.

[0098] It should be noted that the measurement in the embodiment can include at least one of time-frequency synchronization, automatic gain control, channel quality measurement and the like.

[0099] Optionally, the SSB-related configuration information includes at least one of the following:

[0100] MO configuration parameter;

[0101] SSB configuration parameter;

[0102] measurement configuration information.

[0103] In the embodiment, the MO configuration parameter is used to configure at least one MO for the terminal, for example, the MO configuration parameter can include at least one MO identifier (ID). It should be noted that the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can be configured with MO respectively, or can share the MO.

[0104] For example, the MO configuration parameter can be located in the serving cell configuration parameter, that is, the serving cell configuration parameter includes the MO configuration parameter, for example, the MO configuration parameter can be located in the servingcellconfig parameter, or the MO configuration parameter can be located in the ServingCellConfigCommon parameter; or the MO configuration parameter can be located in the secondary cell configuration parameter, for example, located in the scellconfigcommon parameter, or the servingcellconfigcomon parameter under the scellconfigcommon parameter, for example, located in the scellconfigdedicated parameter, or the servingcellconfig parameter under the scellconfigdedicated parameter, or the MO configuration parameter can not be located in the serving cell configuration parameter, for example, the MO configuration parameter can be located in the neighbor cell configuration parameter, that is, the neighbor cell configuration parameter includes the MO configuration parameter, or the MO configuration parameter can be located in the measurement configuration (MeasConfig) parameter, etc.

[0105] The SSB configuration parameter is used for configuring at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB. For example, the SSB configuration parameter can include, but is not limited to, at least one of SSB frequency point information and SSB transmission parameter. The SSB configuration parameter can be located in a serving cell configuration parameter, such as a servingcellconfig parameter or a servingCellConfigCommon parameter. Alternatively, the MO configuration parameter can be located in a secondary cell configuration parameter, such as a scellconfigcommon parameter, a servingcellconfigcomon parameter under the scellconfigcommon parameter, a scellconfigdedicated parameter, or a servingcellconfig parameter under the scellconfigdedicated parameter. Alternatively, the SSB configuration parameter can be located in at least one MO configuration parameter.

[0106] It should be noted that the SSB frequency point information and / or the SSB transmission parameter can be configured for the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB respectively, or can be shared by the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0107] The measurement configuration information is used for measurement configuration. For example, the measurement configuration information can include, but is not limited to, at least one of measurement resource, reporting configuration, measurement identity, and measurement object identity. It should be noted that the measurement resource, the reporting configuration, the measurement identity, and the measurement object identity can be configured for the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB respectively, or can be shared by the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0108] Optionally, the MO configuration parameter is used for configuring at least one of a first MO and a second MO, the first MO being associated with the first type of SSB, and the second MO being associated with the second type of SSB.

[0109] Alternatively,

[0110] The MO configuration parameter is used for configuring a third MO, the third MO being associated with the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0111] In an embodiment, the first type of SSB associated MO and the second type of SSB associated MO are configured respectively, i.e. the first type of SSB associated MO (i.e. the first MO) and the second type of SSB associated MO (i.e. the second MO) are configured by different indication fields respectively, so that based on the MO configured to the terminal by the network side, the type of SSB configured on the first object can be determined. For example, in the case that the first MO is configured to the terminal, it can be determined that the first type of SSB is configured on the first object; in the case that the second MO is configured to the terminal, it can be determined that the second type of SSB is configured on the first object; in the case that the first MO and the second MO are configured to the terminal, it can be determined that the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB are configured on the first object. It should be noted that the above first MO and second MO can each include at least one MO.

[0112] Exemplarily, the serving cell configured to the terminal can be configured with two MOs, one of which is associated with always-on SSB and the other of which is associated with OD-SSB, in which case at least one of measurement and reporting can be performed according to the configuration information of the MO.

[0113] In another embodiment, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB share the configured MO, i.e. the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB share the third MO described above, i.e. are associated with the same MO, which is advantageous for saving configuration overhead. In this case, if the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the terminal measures the first type of SSB based on the third MO; if the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the terminal measures the second type of SSB based on the third MO; if the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the terminal measures the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB based on the third MO. It should be noted that the third MO described above can include at least one MO.

[0114] Optionally, the MO configured by the MO configuration parameter is associated with a serving cell.

[0115] In this embodiment, the MO associated service cell configured by the MO configuration parameter is the measurement of the MO for the service cell configured by the MO configuration parameter. Optionally, the service cell is a secondary cell. For example, the MO configuration parameter can be located in the service cell configuration parameter, i.e., the service cell configuration parameter includes the MO configuration parameter, for example, the MO configuration parameter can be located in the servingcellconfig parameter, or the MO configuration parameter can be located in the ServingCellConfigCommon parameter, or the ID of the MO corresponding to the MO configuration parameter is located in the servingcellconfig parameter or the ServingCellConfigCommon parameter.

[0116] Optionally, the SSB configuration parameter includes at least one of the following: SSB frequency point information, SSB transmission parameter.

[0117] In this embodiment, the SSB frequency point information includes at least one SSB frequency point, and the SSB transmission parameter can include at least one of the parameters related to SSB transmission, such as subcarrier spacing (SCS), period, power, SSB index, etc.

[0118] Optionally, the SSB frequency point information includes at least one of a first SSB frequency point and a second SSB frequency point, wherein the first SSB frequency point is the frequency point of the first type of SSB, and the second SSB frequency point is the frequency point of the second type of SSB.

[0119] Alternatively,

[0120] The SSB frequency point information includes a third SSB frequency point, and the third SSB frequency point is the frequency point of the first type of SSB and the frequency point of the second type of SSB.

[0121] Alternatively,

[0122] The SSB frequency point information includes a fourth SSB frequency point and a frequency point offset value, the fourth SSB frequency point is the frequency point of the first type of SSB or the frequency point of the second type of SSB, and the frequency point offset value is the difference between the frequency point of the first type of SSB and the frequency point of the second type of SSB.

[0123] In an embodiment, the frequency point of the first type of SSB and the frequency point of the second type of SSB can be configured respectively, i.e., the frequency point of the first type of SSB and the frequency point of the second type of SSB are configured by different indication fields respectively, for example, the frequency point of always on SSB is indicated by absoluteFrequencySSB, and the frequency point of OD-SSB is indicated by absoluteFrequencyODSSB. In this case, if absoluteFrequencyODSSB is configured and absoluteFrequencySSB is not configured, it is considered that only OD-SSB is configured on the first object, or in other words, no always on SSB is transmitted; if both absoluteFrequencyODSSB and absoluteFrequencySSB are configured, it is considered that both always-on SSB and OD-SSB are configured on the first object; if absoluteFrequencySSB is configured and absoluteFrequencyODSSB is not configured, it is considered that no OD-SSB is configured; if neither absoluteFrequencyODSSB nor absoluteFrequencySSB is configured, it is considered that the first object is an SSB-less object (e.g., an SSB-less cell).

[0124] In some optional embodiments, in the case of separate configuration of the frequency point of the first type of SSB and the frequency point of the second type of SSB, if the SSB frequency point information includes the first SSB frequency point (i.e., the frequency point associated with the first type of SSB), the first configuration information can further include a fourth indication for indicating the transmission type of the configured first type of SSB, wherein the transmission type can include a first transmission type (e.g., transmission type 1) and a second transmission type (e.g., transmission type 2), the first transmission type is used to indicate that the first type of SSB is transmitted at all times when the first object (e.g., a serving cell) associated with the first type of SSB is in any state, i.e., the first type of SSB is always transmitted; the second transmission type is used to indicate that the first type of SSB is only transmitted when the first object (e.g., a serving cell) associated with the first type of SSB is in an active state, i.e., the network side device and the terminal consider that the first type of SSB configured after the first object is activated is periodically transmitted.

[0125] Exemplarily, if absoluteFrequencyODSSB is configured, absoluteFrequencySSB is also configured, and is indicated as sending type 1, it is considered that Always on SSB is always sent on the first object, and OD-SSB is configured; if absoluteFrequencyODSSB is configured, absoluteFrequencySSB is also configured, and is indicated as sending type 2, it is considered that Always on SSB is always sent on the first object (for example, the serving cell) when the first object is in an active state, and OD-SSB is configured; if absoluteFrequencySSB is configured, and absoluteFrequencyODSSB is not configured, at this time, the sending type can not be configured or can only be configured as sending type 2, it is considered that OD-SSB is not configured, and Always on SSB is always sent on the first object (for example, the serving cell); if neither absoluteFrequencyODSSB nor absoluteFrequencySSB is configured, it is considered that the first object is an SSB-less object (for example, an SSB-less cell), that is, a reference cell needs to be configured.

[0126] In some optional embodiments, in the case of configuring the frequency points of the first type of SSB and the frequency points of the second type of SSB respectively, the first configuration information can further include a fifth indication for indicating the SSB frequency point of the first object (for example, the serving cell) in an active state, for example, the SSB frequency point of the first object (for example, the serving cell) in an active state can be indicated by absoluteFrequencySSBforActive.

[0127] Exemplarily, if absoluteFrequencyODSSB is configured, and absoluteFrequencySSB is also configured, it is considered that Always on SSB is always transmitted on the first object (e.g. serving cell), and OD-SSB is configured; if absoluteFrequencyODSSB is configured, and absoluteFrequencySSBforActive is also configured, it is considered that Always on SSB is always transmitted on the first object (e.g. serving cell) when the first object is in an active state, and is not transmitted when the first object is in other states (i.e. states other than the active state), and OD-SSB is configured; if absoluteFrequencySSB is configured, and absoluteFrequencyODSSB is not configured, it is considered that OD-SSB is not configured, and Always on SSB is always transmitted on the first object (e.g. serving cell); if neither absoluteFrequencyODSSB nor absoluteFrequencySSB is configured, it is considered that the first object is an SSB-less object (e.g. SSB-less cell), i.e. a reference cell needs to be configured.

[0128] It should be noted that when the second type of SSB (e.g. OD-SSB) is configured on the first object, the configuration of the second type of SSB can be configured to take effect immediately by default, or can be configured not to take effect by default, and then take effect through a MAC CE later.

[0129] In some embodiments, the configuration parameter absoluteFrequencyODSSB can be located in the servingcellconfigcommon parameter. In other embodiments, the frequency point of the OD-SSB is located in the measurement configuration, e.g. in the MO configuration parameter associated with the serving cell (Serving Cell).

[0130] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration (such as period, duration, offset, etc.) of the OD-SSB related to absoluteFrequencyODSSB can be configured in the servingcellconfigcommon parameter, or the measurement configuration of the OD-SSB related to absoluteFrequencyODSSB can be obtained in the MO configuration parameter at the same frequency as absoluteFrequencyODSSB.

[0131] In another embodiment, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can share the SSB frequency point, i.e., the SSB frequency point indicated by the indication field (i.e., the third SSB frequency point) is associated with the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, which is beneficial for saving configuration overhead. In this case, if the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the first type of SSB is located on the third SSB frequency point; if the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the second type of SSB is located on the third SSB frequency point; if the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB are both located on the third SSB frequency point.

[0132] Exemplarily, the third SSB frequency point can be the frequency point indicated by absoluteFrequencySSB, in which case, whether it is an OD-SSB or an always-on SSB, it is located on the frequency point indicated by absoluteFrequencySSB.

[0133] It can be understood that, in the case where the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB share the SSB frequency point, if the type of the SSB configured on the first object is to be distinguished, other information needs to be relied on for judgment, for example, the type of the SSB configured on the first object can be judged by relying on the type indication information or the SSB transmission parameter, etc.

[0134] In yet another embodiment, one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can be configured with an SSB frequency point, and a frequency point offset value between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB is configured, and then the SSB frequency point of the other of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can be determined based on the frequency point offset value and the configured SSB frequency point. Exemplarily, the frequency point of the first type of SSB can be configured, for example, the frequency point indicated by absoluteFrequencySSB is the frequency point of the first type of SSB, so that the frequency point of the second type of SSB can be determined based on the frequency point of the first type of SSB and the frequency point offset value.

[0135] Optionally, the SSB frequency point information is located in at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter;

[0136] Or,

[0137] The SSB frequency point information includes at least one of a first SSB frequency point and a second SSB frequency point, one of the first SSB frequency point and the second SSB frequency point is located in the serving cell configuration parameter, and the other is located in the MO configuration parameter, or the first SSB frequency point is located in at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter;

[0138] Or,

[0139] The SSB frequency point information includes a fourth SSB frequency point and a frequency point offset value, one of which is located in the serving cell configuration parameter and the other is located in the MO configuration parameter, or the fourth SSB frequency point is located in at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter.

[0140] Exemplarily, the serving cell configuration parameter can include but is not limited to a servingcellconfig parameter or a ServingCellConfigCommon parameter, etc. The serving cell configuration parameter can include a serving cell configuration parameter in a secondary cell configuration. The MO configuration parameter can be located in the serving cell configuration parameter or a MeasConfig parameter, etc.

[0141] In an embodiment, the SSB frequency point information is located in at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter, that is, at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter includes the SSB frequency point information. In this case, no matter whether the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB are configured with separate frequency points or share a frequency point, the configured frequency point is located in at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter.

[0142] In another embodiment, in the case of separate frequency point configuration of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, one of the frequency point of the first type of SSB (i.e., the first SSB frequency point) and the frequency point of the second type of SSB (i.e., the second SSB frequency point) is located in the serving cell configuration parameter, and the other is located in the MO configuration parameter, for example, the frequency point of the first type of SSB is located in the serving cell configuration parameter, and the frequency point of the second type of SSB is located in the MO configuration parameter. Or, the frequency point of the first type of SSB is located in at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter, and the frequency point of the second type of SSB can not be located in any of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter.

[0143] In yet another embodiment, in the case of configuring the frequency point of one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB (i.e., the fourth SSB frequency point) and the frequency point offset value between the two, one of the fourth SSB frequency point and the frequency point offset value is located in the serving cell configuration parameter, and the other is located in the MO configuration parameter. Exemplarily, the frequency point of the first type of SSB (i.e., the fourth SSB frequency point) can be configured, and the frequency point of the first type of SSB is located in the serving cell configuration parameter, and the frequency point offset value is located in the MO configuration parameter. Or, the fourth SSB frequency point is located in at least one of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter, and the frequency point offset value can not be located in any of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter.

[0144] It can be understood that, in the case that the SSB frequency point is located in the serving cell configuration parameter, it is indicated that the SSB frequency point is associated with the serving cell; in the case that the SSB frequency point is located in the MO configuration parameter, it is indicated that the SSB frequency point is associated with the MO configured by the MO configuration parameter.

[0145] Optionally, the SSB transmission parameter includes at least one of the following: a subcarrier spacing (SCS) parameter, a periodicity parameter, a power parameter, a quasi co-location (QCL) parameter, a time domain location parameter, and an SSB index.

[0146] The SCS parameter can include the SCS of at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, for example, the SCS indicated by at least one of an SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter and an ODSSBsubcarrierspacing parameter. The SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter is used to indicate the SCS of the always-on SSB, and the ODSSBsubcarrierspacing parameter is used to indicate the SCS of the OD-SSB.

[0147] The periodicity parameter can include the periodicity of at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, for example, the periodicity indicated by at least one of an SSB-periodicityservingcell parameter and an ODSSB-periodicityservingcell parameter. The SSB-periodicityservingcell parameter is used to indicate the periodicity of the always-on SSB, and the ODSSB-periodicityservingcell parameter is used to indicate the periodicity of the OD-SSB.

[0148] The power parameter can include the transmission power of at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, for example, the power indicated by at least one of an ss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter and an ODss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter. The ss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter is used to indicate the transmission power of the always-on SSB, and the ODss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter is used to indicate the transmission power of the OD-SSB.

[0149] The QCL parameter can comprise a QCL parameter of at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, for example, a QCL parameter indicated by at least one of a ssb-PositionQCL parameter and an ODssb-PositionQCL parameter. The ssb-PositionQCL parameter is used to indicate a QCL parameter of an always-on SSB, and the ODssb-PositionQCL parameter is used to indicate a QCL parameter of an OD-SSB.

[0150] The time domain location parameter can comprise a time domain location of at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, for example, a time domain location indicated by at least one of a SSB-positioninburst parameter and an ODSSB-positioninburst parameter. The SSB-positioninburst parameter is used to indicate a time domain location of an always-on SSB, and the ODSSB-positioninburst parameter is used to indicate a time domain location of an OD-SSB. The time domain location can be used to indicate which SSBs in a SSB burst are to be transmitted.

[0151] The SSB index can be used to indicate at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0152] Optionally, the SSB transmission parameter comprises at least one of a first SSB transmission parameter and a second SSB transmission parameter, the first SSB transmission parameter being a transmission parameter of the first type of SSB, and the second SSB transmission parameter being a transmission parameter of the second type of SSB.

[0153] Alternatively,

[0154] The SSB transmission parameter comprises a third SSB transmission parameter, the third SSB transmission parameter being a transmission parameter of the first type of SSB and a transmission parameter of the second type of SSB.

[0155] Alternatively,

[0156] The SSB transmission parameter comprises a first part transmission parameter and a second part transmission parameter, the first part transmission parameter comprising a first sub-transmission parameter and a second sub-transmission parameter, the first sub-transmission parameter being a transmission parameter of the first type of SSB, and the second sub-transmission parameter being a transmission parameter of the second type of SSB, and the second part transmission parameter being a transmission parameter of the first type of SSB and a transmission parameter of the second type of SSB.

[0157] In an embodiment, the transmission parameters of the first type of SSB and the transmission parameters of the second type of SSB are configured respectively, i.e., the transmission parameters of the first type of SSB (i.e., the first SSB transmission parameters) and the transmission parameters of the second type of SSB (i.e., the second SSB transmission parameters) are configured by different indication fields respectively, so that the types of SSBs configured on the first object can be conveniently distinguished by the SSB transmission parameters. For example, the SCS of the always-on SSB is indicated by the SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter, and the SCS of the OD-SSB is indicated by the ODSSBsubcarrierspacing parameter; the period of the always-on SSB is indicated by the SSB-periodicityservingcell parameter, and the period of the OD-SSB is indicated by the ODSSB-periodicityservingcell parameter; the above-mentioned ss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter is used to indicate the transmission power of the always-on SSB, and the above-mentioned ODss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter is used to indicate the transmission power of the OD-SSB; the QCL parameter of the always-on SSB is indicated by the ssb-PositionQCL parameter, and the QCL parameter of the OD-SSB is indicated by the ODssb-PositionQCL parameter; the time domain position of the always-on SSB is indicated by the SSB-positioninburst parameter, and the time domain position of the OD-SSB is indicated by the ODSSB-positioninburst parameter.

[0158] It should be noted that the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the first type of SSB and the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the second type of SSB can each include at least one of the SCS parameter, the period parameter, the power parameter, the QCL parameter, the time domain position parameter and the SSB index. In addition, the parameter items included in the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the first type of SSB and the parameter items included in the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the second type of SSB can be the same, for example, the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the first type of SSB include the SCS parameter, and the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the second type of SSB also include the SCS parameter; or the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the first type of SSB include the SCS parameter, the period parameter and the power parameter, and the above-mentioned transmission parameters of the second type of SSB also include the SCS parameter, the period parameter and the power parameter.

[0159] It should also be noted that the transmission parameters configured by different indication fields can have the same value or different values. For example, the SCS indicated by the SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter and the SCS indicated by the ODSSBsubcarrierspacing parameter can be the same or different.

[0160] In another embodiment, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can share the SSB transmission parameters, i.e. the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB are associated with the SSB transmission parameters configured by the same indication field (i.e. the third SSB transmission parameters), which is beneficial for saving configuration overhead. In this case, if the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the network side transmits the first type of SSB based on the third SSB transmission parameters, and the terminal receives the first type of SSB based on the third SSB transmission parameters; if the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the network side transmits the second type of SSB based on the third SSB transmission parameters, and the terminal receives the second type of SSB based on the third SSB transmission parameters; if the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the network side transmits the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB based on the third SSB transmission parameters, respectively, and the terminal receives the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB based on the third SSB transmission parameters, respectively.

[0161] Exemplarily, the third SSB transmission parameters can include at least one of: SCS indicated by the SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter, period indicated by the SSB-periodicityservingcell parameter, transmission power indicated by the ss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter, QCL parameter indicated by the ssb-PositionQCL parameter, time domain position indicated by the SSB-positioninburst parameter, time domain position indicated by the ODSSB-positioninburst parameter.

[0162] In yet another embodiment, for part of the transmission parameters (i.e. the first part of the transmission parameters), the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can be configured respectively, i.e. for part of the transmission parameters, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB are configured by different indication fields, respectively; for another part of the transmission parameters (i.e. the second part of the transmission parameters), the first type of SSB and the second type can share, i.e. the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB share the another part of the transmission parameters configured by the same indication field, which can save configuration overhead while ensuring the flexibility of configuration.

[0163] The first part of the transmission parameters and the second part of the transmission parameters include different parameter items. For example, the first part of the transmission parameters includes part of the parameter items in SCS parameter, periodicity parameter, power parameter, QCL parameter, time domain location parameter and SSB index, and the second part of the transmission parameters includes part of the parameter items in SCS parameter, periodicity parameter, power parameter, QCL parameter, time domain location parameter and SSB index, which are different from the parameter items included in the first part of the transmission parameters. For example, the first part of the transmission parameters includes SCS parameter and periodicity parameter, and the second part of the transmission parameters includes power parameter, QCL parameter, time domain location parameter and SSB index.

[0164] The first sub-transmission parameter and the second sub-transmission parameter include the same parameter items. For example, the first sub-transmission parameter includes SCS parameter and periodicity parameter, and the second sub-transmission parameter also includes SCS parameter and periodicity parameter.

[0165] The first sub-transmission parameter and the second sub-transmission parameter are configured by different indication fields. For example, SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter is used to indicate the SCS of always-on SSB, and ODSSBsubcarrierspacing parameter is used to indicate the SCS of OD-SSB; SSB-periodicityservingcell parameter is used to indicate the periodicity of always-on SSB, and ODSSB-periodicityservingcell parameter is used to indicate the periodicity of OD-SSB. It should be noted that the values of the first sub-transmission parameter and the second sub-transmission parameter can be the same or different. For example, the SCS indicated by SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter and the SCS indicated by ODSSBsubcarrierspacing parameter can be the same or different.

[0166] The second part of the transmission parameters is a transmission parameter shared by the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB. For example, the second part of the transmission parameters can include the following parameters: SCS indicated by SSBsubcarrierspacing parameter, periodicity indicated by SSB-periodicityservingcell parameter, transmission power indicated by ss-PBCH-BlockPower parameter, QCL parameter indicated by ssb-PositionQCL parameter, time domain location indicated by SSB-positioninburst parameter, and time domain location indicated by ODSSB-positioninburst parameter.

[0167] The SSB transmission parameter configuration of the embodiment is described below with examples.

[0168] Embodiment 1: Independent configuration of OD-SSB transmission parameters.

[0169] For example, at least one of OD-SSB time-domain position parameter (e.g., ODSSB-positioninburst), OD-SSB periodicity parameter (e.g., ODSSB-periodicityservingcell), OD-SSB SCS parameter (e.g., ODSSBsubcarrierspacing), OD-SSB power parameter (e.g., ODss-PBCH-BlockPower), OD-SSB QCL parameter (e.g., ODssb-PositionQCL).

[0170] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned OD-SSB transmission parameters can be configured together with the frequency point of OD-SSB.

[0171] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine whether the cell is configured with OD-SSB according to the above-mentioned OD-SSB transmission parameters, regardless of whether the frequency point of OD-SSB is configured by independent parameters.

[0172] In some embodiments, some of the transmission parameters of OD-SSB are indicated in the activation indication of OD-SSB, which can be carried in MAC CE or DCI.

[0173] Embodiment 2: Partial independent configuration of OD-SSB transmission parameters, and partial sharing of always-on SSB transmission parameter configuration.

[0174] For example, some OD-SSB transmission parameters are always consistent with always-on SSB transmission parameters, so there is no need to configure these parameters additionally, such as SCS, transmission power, and QCL parameters. Some other OD-SSB transmission parameters may not be the same as always-on SSB transmission parameters, and are configured independently, for example, periodicity parameter and time-domain position parameter. Exemplarily, ODSSB-positioninburst can be used to indicate the periodicity parameter of OD-SSB, and ODSSB-periodicityservingcell can be used to indicate the time-domain position parameter of OD-SSB.

[0175] In some embodiments, if an OD-SSB transmission parameter is not configured independently, the UE considers that the OD-SSB transmission parameter in the cell is the same as the always-on SSB, and at this time, the corresponding always-on SSB transmission parameter can be read.

[0176] In some embodiments, certain transmission parameters of the OD-SSB are indicated in the activation indication of the OD-SSB, which is carried in a MAC CE or DCI.

[0177] In some embodiments, if all parameters of the OD-SSB are configured separately, it indicates that the terminal is only configured with the OD-SSB.

[0178] In some embodiments, if part of the parameters of the OD-SSB are configured separately, the remaining parameters are obtained through the always on SSB configuration, and the UE assumes that the always on SSB is configured.

[0179] In some embodiments, if part of the parameters of the OD-SSB are configured separately, the remaining parameters are obtained through the always on SSB configuration, and in addition, the UE can determine whether there is an always on SSB according to the 1-bit indication information of the always on SSB configuration.

[0180] Optionally, the measurement configuration information comprises at least one of the following: reporting configuration, measurement identification, measurement reporting identification, and measurement resource.

[0181] The reporting configuration can comprise at least one of the following: trigger event of measurement reporting, reference signal type, measurement reporting quantity, whether to report beam measurement results, maximum number of reportable beams, and the like. For example, the L3 reporting configuration can be configured in the serving cell configuration parameter, and the reporting behavior associated with the second type of SSB.

[0182] The measurement identification is associated with measurement-related parameters and / or measurement reporting parameters.

[0183] The measurement reporting identification is only associated with measurement reporting parameters.

[0184] Optionally, the reporting configuration is associated with at least one MO.

[0185] and / or,

[0186] The measurement identification is associated with at least one MO or at least one reporting configuration.

[0187] and / or,

[0188] The measurement reporting identification is associated with at least one MO or at least one reporting configuration.

[0189] The above reporting configuration is associated with at least one MO. For example, the above reporting configuration can be associated with two MOs, one of which is associated with the first type of SSB, and the other of which is associated with the second type of SSB. In this case, the terminal can consider that the reporting does not need to distinguish between SSB types, i.e., the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB share the reporting configuration for measurement reporting, or the terminal can consider that the measurement results of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB are reported simultaneously. The specific behavior of the terminal can be agreed upon by a protocol or can be indicated by the network side device.

[0190] The above measurement identification (MeasID) is associated with at least one MO. For example, the above measurement identification can be associated with two MOs, one of which is associated with the first type of SSB, and the other of which is associated with the second type of SSB. In this case, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can share the reporting configuration associated with the measurement identification.

[0191] The above measurement identification is associated with at least one reporting configuration. For example, the above measurement identification can be associated with two reporting configurations, one of which is associated with the first type of SSB, and the other of which is associated with the second type of SSB. In this case, different reporting configurations can be used for measurement reporting of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0192] The above measurement report identification (Measurement Report ID) is associated with at least one MO. For example, the above measurement report identification can be associated with two MOs, one of which is associated with the first type of SSB, and the other of which is associated with the second type of SSB. In this case, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can share the reporting configuration associated with the above measurement report identification.

[0193] The above measurement report identification is associated with at least one reporting configuration. For example, the measurement report identification is associated with the reporting configuration of the second type of SSB. For example, the measurement report identification can be located in the serving cell configuration parameter, such as the servingcellconfig parameter or the servingCellConfigCommon parameter. Optionally, the reporting configuration of the first type of SSB is still located in the MO configuration at this time.

[0194] Optionally, the measurement resource includes a measurement window or an SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC).

[0195] Optionally, the measurement configuration information comprises at least one of first measurement configuration information and second measurement configuration information, wherein the first measurement configuration information is measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB, and the second measurement configuration information is measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB.

[0196] Or,

[0197] The measurement configuration information comprises third measurement configuration information, wherein the third measurement configuration information is measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB.

[0198] In an embodiment, the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB can be configured respectively, that is, the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB (i.e., the first measurement configuration information) and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB (i.e., the second measurement configuration information) are configured through different indication fields, so that the type of the SSB configured on the first object can be conveniently distinguished through the measurement configuration information.

[0199] It should be noted that the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB can each comprise at least one of reporting configuration, measurement identifier, and measurement resource. In addition, the parameter items included in the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB and the parameter items included in the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB can be the same, for example, the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB comprises reporting configuration, and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB also comprises reporting configuration; or the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB comprises measurement resource, and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB also comprises measurement resource.

[0200] It should also be noted that the measurement configuration information configured through different indication fields can have the same value or different values.

[0201] In another embodiment, the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB can share measurement configuration information, that is, the measurement configuration information configured through the same indication field (i.e., the third measurement configuration information) is associated with the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, which is beneficial to saving configuration overhead. In this case, if the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, measurement reporting is performed based on the first type of SSB and the third measurement configuration information; if the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, measurement reporting is performed based on the second type of SSB and the third measurement configuration information; and if the SSB configured on the first object comprises the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, for the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, measurement reporting is performed based on the third measurement configuration information.

[0202] Optionally, the measurement configuration information is associated with at least one MO.

[0203] or,

[0204] The measurement configuration information is located in a serving cell configuration parameter or a MO configuration parameter.

[0205] or,

[0206] The measurement configuration information comprises at least one of first measurement configuration information and second measurement configuration information, one of the first measurement configuration information and the second measurement configuration information is located in a serving cell configuration parameter, and the other is located in a MO configuration parameter; or, the first measurement configuration information is located in a serving cell configuration parameter or a MO configuration parameter.

[0207] In an embodiment, the measurement configuration information is located in a serving cell configuration parameter or a MO configuration parameter, that is, the serving cell configuration parameter or the MO configuration parameter comprises the measurement configuration information.

[0208] In another embodiment, in the case that the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB is configured respectively, one of the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB (i.e., the first measurement configuration information) and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB (i.e., the second measurement configuration information) is located in a serving cell configuration parameter, and the other is located in a MO configuration parameter, for example, the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB is located in a serving cell configuration parameter, and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB is located in a MO configuration parameter. Or, the measurement configuration information of the first type of SSB is located in a serving cell configuration parameter or a MO configuration parameter, and the measurement configuration information of the second type of SSB can not be located in any of the serving cell configuration parameter and the MO configuration parameter.

[0209] It can be understood that, in the case that the measurement configuration information is located in a serving cell configuration parameter, it indicates that the measurement configuration information is associated with a serving cell; in the case that the measurement configuration information is located in a MO configuration parameter, it indicates that the measurement configuration information is associated with a MO configured by the MO configuration parameter.

[0210] Optionally, the terminal performs measurement according to the SSB configured on the first object, comprising at least one of the following:

[0211] In the case that the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the terminal performs measurement based on the first type of SSB;

[0212] In the case that the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the terminal performs measurement based on the second type of SSB;

[0213] In a case where the SSBs configured on the first object include the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, the terminal performs measurement based on at least one of the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs.

[0214] In the embodiment, in a case where the SSBs configured on the first object are determined as the first type of SSBs according to the first configuration information, measurement can be performed based on the first type of SSBs; in a case where the SSBs configured on the first object are determined as the second type of SSBs according to the first configuration information, measurement can be performed based on the second type of SSBs; in a case where the SSBs configured on the first object include the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs according to the first configuration information, measurement can be performed based on the first type of SSBs, or measurement can be performed based on the second type of SSBs, or measurement can be performed based on the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs.

[0215] In some optional embodiments, in a case where the SSBs configured on the first object include the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, the terminal can perform measurement on the first type of SSBs or perform measurement on the second type of SSBs according to the configuration or indication or protocol agreement of the network side device, for example, if the configuration or indication or protocol agreement of the network side device is to perform measurement on the first type of SSBs, the terminal performs measurement on the first type of SSBs; if the configuration or indication or protocol agreement of the network side device is to perform measurement on the second type of SSBs, the terminal performs measurement on the second type of SSBs.

[0216] In some optional embodiments, in a case where the SSBs configured on the first object are not distinguished by type, the terminal can not distinguish the types of SSBs for measurement, for example, the terminal can measure all SSBs within the SMTC or the measurement window regardless of the types of the SSBs; or the terminal can default to measurement on the first type of SSBs.

[0217] Optionally, the terminal performs measurement based on at least one of the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs, including:

[0218] The terminal performs measurement based on the first type of SSBs and the second type of SSBs to obtain a first measurement result.

[0219] Or,

[0220] The terminal performs measurement based on the first type of SSBs to obtain a second measurement result, and performs measurement based on the second type of SSBs to obtain a third measurement result.

[0221] In an embodiment, the terminal can jointly measure the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB to obtain a first measurement result, i.e., the first measurement result can be a measurement result obtained by combining the measurement value of the first type of SSB and the measurement value of the second type of SSB, for example, the terminal can not distinguish the measurement value of the first type of SSB and the measurement value of the second type of SSB when applying L1 filtering or applying L3 filtering.

[0222] In another embodiment, the terminal can independently measure the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB respectively, i.e., the terminal can measure the first type of SSB to obtain a second measurement result, i.e., the second measurement result is obtained based on the measurement value of the first type of SSB only, for example, the terminal can only consider the measurement value of the first type of SSB when applying L1 filtering or applying L3 filtering to obtain the second measurement result; measure the second type of SSB to obtain a third measurement result, i.e., the third measurement result is obtained based on the measurement value of the second type of SSB only, for example, the terminal can only consider the measurement value of the second type of SSB when applying L1 filtering or applying L3 filtering to obtain the third measurement result.

[0223] Optionally, the terminal measures based on at least one of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, comprising:

[0224] In the case where the first condition is met, the terminal measures based on the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB to obtain a first measurement result;

[0225] In the case where the first condition is not met, the terminal measures based on the first type of SSB to obtain a second measurement result, and measures based on the second type of SSB to obtain a third measurement result;

[0226] The first condition comprises at least one of the following:

[0227] The first parameter of the first type of SSB is the same as the first parameter of the second type of SSB, or the difference between the first parameter of the first type of SSB and the first parameter of the second type of SSB is less than a corresponding threshold value; the first parameter comprises at least one of the following: SSB frequency point, SCS parameter, periodicity parameter, power parameter, time domain location parameter;

[0228] The measurement resource associated with the first type of SSB overlaps with the measurement resource associated with the second type of SSB.

[0229] The first parameter of the first type of SSB is the same as the first parameter of the second type of SSB. For example, the SSB frequency point of the first type of SSB is the same as the SSB frequency point of the second type of SSB, or the SCS parameter of the first type of SSB is the same as the SCS parameter of the second type of SSB, and so on.

[0230] The difference between the first parameter of the first type of SSB and the first parameter of the second type of SSB is less than a corresponding threshold. Different parameters correspond to different thresholds. For example, the difference between the SSB frequency point of the first type of SSB and the SSB frequency point of the second type of SSB is less than the threshold corresponding to the frequency point, the difference between the SCS parameter of the first type of SSB and the SCS parameter of the second type of SSB is less than the threshold corresponding to the SCS, the difference between the periodicity parameter of the first type of SSB and the periodicity parameter of the second type of SSB is less than the threshold corresponding to the periodicity, the difference between the power parameter of the first type of SSB and the power parameter of the second type of SSB is less than the threshold corresponding to the power, and the difference between the time domain location parameter of the first type of SSB and the time domain location parameter of the second type of SSB is less than the threshold corresponding to the time domain location.

[0231] It can be understood that, in the case where the first condition is met between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, it indicates that the difference between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB is small, and the influence of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB on measurement is often similar. In this case, the terminal can jointly measure the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, which is conducive to reducing the complexity of measurement and reporting. In the case where the first condition is not met between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, it indicates that the difference between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB is large, and the influence of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB on measurement is often different. In this case, the terminal can measure the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB respectively, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the measurement result.

[0232] In the embodiment, in the case where the first condition is met, the terminal jointly measures the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, and in the case where the first condition is not met, the terminal measures the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB respectively. This is conducive to reducing the complexity of measurement and reporting while ensuring the accuracy of the measurement result.

[0233] Optionally, the terminal reports according to the SSB configured on the first object, including at least one of the following:

[0234] In the case where the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the terminal reports the second measurement result;

[0235] In a case where the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the terminal reports a third measurement result;

[0236] In a case where the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the terminal reports a first measurement result, or the terminal reports at least one of a second measurement result and a third measurement result;

[0237] The first measurement result is a measurement result obtained based on the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the second measurement result is a measurement result obtained based on the first type of SSB, and the third measurement result is a measurement result obtained based on the second type of SSB.

[0238] In the embodiment, in a case where the SSB configured on the first object is the first type of SSB, the terminal reports a measurement result obtained based on the first type of SSB, i.e., a second measurement result; in a case where the SSB configured on the first object is the second type of SSB, the terminal reports a measurement result obtained based on the second type of SSB, i.e., a third measurement result; and in a case where the SSB configured on the first object includes the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the terminal can report a measurement result obtained based on joint measurement of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, i.e., a first measurement result, or the terminal can report the measurement result of the first type of SSB (i.e., the second measurement result) and the measurement result of the second type of SSB (i.e., the third measurement result) respectively, or the terminal can report only the measurement result of the first type of SSB (i.e., the second measurement result), or the terminal can report only the measurement result of the second type of SSB (i.e., the third measurement result).

[0239] In some optional embodiments, the terminal can send a sixth indication to the network side device, to indicate the type of SSB associated with the measurement result reported by the terminal.

[0240] Optionally, the terminal reports the first measurement result, or the terminal reports at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result, including:

[0241] In a case where a first condition is met, the terminal reports the first measurement result;

[0242] In a case where the first condition is not met, the terminal reports at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result;

[0243] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0244] The first parameter of the first type of SSB is same as the first parameter of the second type of SSB, or a difference between the first parameter of the first type of SSB and the first parameter of the second type of SSB is less than a corresponding threshold; the first parameter comprises at least one of: an SSB frequency point, an SCS parameter, a periodicity parameter, a power parameter, and a time domain location parameter.

[0245] The measurement resource associated with the first type of SSB overlaps with the measurement resource associated with the second type of SSB.

[0246] The first condition in this embodiment can be referred to the related description of the foregoing embodiments, which is not described herein.

[0247] It can be understood that, in the case where the first condition is met between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, it indicates that the difference between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB is small, and the influence of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB on measurement is often similar, in which case, the terminal can report the measurement results of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB jointly, i.e., the first measurement result, which is beneficial to reduce the reporting overhead; in the case where the first condition is not met between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, it indicates that the difference between the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB is large, and the influence of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB on measurement is often different, in which case, the terminal can report the measurement results of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB respectively, which is beneficial to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, or the terminal can report only the measurement results of the first type of SSB or the second type of SSB, which is beneficial to reduce the reporting overhead while ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0248] Optionally, the terminal reports at least one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result, comprising:

[0249] The terminal reports the second measurement result or the third measurement result according to the configuration or indication of the network side device.

[0250] Or,

[0251] The terminal reports the second measurement result or the third measurement result according to the protocol agreement.

[0252] In this embodiment, in the case of reporting one of the second measurement result and the third measurement result, it can be determined which measurement result to report according to the configuration or indication of the network side device or the protocol agreement, specifically, if the network side device configuration or indication or protocol agreement reports the second measurement result, the terminal can report the second measurement result, or if the network side device configuration or indication or protocol agreement reports the third measurement result, the terminal can report the third measurement result.

[0253] Optionally, the first measurement result is a measurement result obtained by merging or filtering a measurement value based on the first type of SSB measurement and a measurement value based on the second type of SSB measurement.

[0254] And / or,

[0255] The second measurement result is a measurement result obtained by merging or filtering a measurement value based on the first type of SSB measurement, and the third measurement result is a measurement result obtained by merging or filtering a measurement value based on the second type of SSB measurement.

[0256] In the embodiment, in the case of jointly reporting the measurement results of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the terminal merges or filters the measurement value of the first type of SSB and the measurement value of the second type of SSB to obtain a first measurement result; in the case of independently reporting the measurement results of the first type of SSB and the second type of SSB, the terminal only merges or filters the measurement value of the first type of SSB to obtain a second measurement result, and only merges or filters the measurement value of the second type of SSB to obtain a third measurement result.

[0257] The measurement behavior and reporting behavior of the embodiment are described below in conjunction with examples:

[0258] Example 1: L3 measurement and reporting.

[0259] This example defines the measurement and / or measurement reporting behavior of the terminal in the case of simultaneously configuring OD-SSB and always-on SSB on a cell, and clarifies the behavior of the terminal when measuring the cell with two types of SSBs and the corresponding measurement reporting behavior.

[0260] Case 1: The terminal does not distinguish between OD-SSB and always-on SSB.

[0261] Whether the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB are configured through the same set of parameters (such as an indication field) or through independent parameters (such as an indication field), the terminal does not distinguish between the types. In this case, the measurement behavior of the terminal can be to measure according to the configured SMTC or measurement window, regardless of which type of SSB falls within the SMTC or measurement window.

[0262] Correspondingly, the measurement result reported by the terminal can be only associated with the OD-SSB (i.e., OD-SSB only), that is, only the measurement result obtained based on the measurement value of the OD-SSB is reported, or can be only associated with the always-on SSB (i.e., always-on SSB only), that is, only the measurement result obtained based on the measurement value of the always-on SSB is reported, or can be associated with the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB, that is, the measurement result obtained based on the measurement value of the OD-SSB and the measurement value of the always-on SSB is reported. Which type of SSB is associated depends on which SSBs are in the range of the SMTC or the measurement window.

[0263] Exemplarily, the above case one can be performed in the case that the frequency points of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB are the same and the transmission powers are the same.

[0264] Case two: In the case that certain conditions are met, the terminal distinguishes the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB.

[0265] Since the configurations of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB can be different, the measurement and measurement reporting behaviors of the terminal need to be discussed in different cases.

[0266] Implementation one: When the first parameter of the OD-SSB and the first parameter of the always-on SSB are inconsistent, or the difference between the first parameter of the OD-SSB and the first parameter of the always-on SSB is greater than a corresponding threshold, the terminal performs measurement or reporting based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0267] The first parameter can refer to the related description of the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here. The terminal performs measurement or reporting based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively, that is, independent measurement or independent reporting is performed on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0268] It can be understood that when the first parameter of the OD-SSB and the first parameter of the always-on SSB are inconsistent, or the difference between the first parameter of the OD-SSB and the first parameter of the always-on SSB is greater than a corresponding threshold, the influences of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB on measurement can be different. Therefore, the terminal performs measurement or reporting based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively, which is beneficial to guarantee the accuracy of the measurement or reporting result.

[0269] In some embodiments, the terminal can also determine whether to perform measurement or report based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively according to whether the partial or all configuration parameters of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB are configured by the same parameter (such as an indication field). For example, in the case where at least part of the configuration parameters of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB are configured by different parameters (such as indication fields), the terminal performs measurement or report based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0270] Embodiment II: When the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB are associated with different measurement configurations, SMTCs or measurement windows, the terminal performs measurement or report based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0271] It can be understood that when the measurement related parameters, such as measurement configurations, SMTCs or measurement windows, are configured for the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively, the terminal performs measurement or report based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0272] In some embodiments, the serving cell configures two MOs, one of which is associated with the OD-SSB and the other of which is associated with the always-on SSB, in which case the terminal performs measurement or report based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively; or in the case where both of the above two MOs are activated, the terminal performs measurement or report based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0273] In some embodiments, the serving cell configures one MO, but one MO is associated with two frequency point indications, one of which is the OD-SSB and the other of which is the always-on SSB; or one MO is associated with two SMTCs, one of which corresponds to the OD-SSB and the other of which corresponds to the always-on SSB; or one MO is associated with two report configurations, one of which corresponds to the OD-SSB and the other of which corresponds to the always-on SSB. At this time, the terminal performs measurement or measurement report based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0274] Embodiment III: The terminal performs measurement or report based on the OD-SSB or the always-on SSB according to the type of SSB indicated by the network side.

[0275] Case III: The terminal always distinguishes the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB.

[0276] Since the measurement configuration of OD-SSB and always-on SSB are likely to be different, and the terminal can determine the time-frequency domain location of OD-SSB and always-on SSB, a simple way is that the terminal always performs measurement or reporting based on OD-SSB and always-on SSB respectively, thereby simplifying the behavior of the terminal.

[0277] In some embodiments, the terminal performs measurement or reporting based on OD-SSB or always-on SSB according to the type of SSB indicated by the network side.

[0278] Example II: L1 measurement and reporting

[0279] The measurement resource of the current L1 measurement is configured in the CSI measurement resource set associated with the CSI measurement configuration. If the measured SSB is the SSB configured by the serving cell, the specific SSB resource is the SSB indicated by the SSB index in the SSB configured by the serving cell. Therefore, when a cell configures both on-demand SSB and always-on SSB, it is necessary to determine how to perform L1 measurement and measurement reporting.

[0280] Implementation I: If the configuration information of OD-SSB is also carried in the servingcellconfigcommon parameter or servingcellconfig parameter, the terminal does not distinguish between OD-SSB and always-on SSB for measurement or measurement reporting, or does not limit the behavior of the terminal.

[0281] Implementation II: The network side indicates whether the CSI measurement resource is always-on SSB or OD-SSB, for example, by distinguishing between OD-SSB and always-on SSB through the CSI measurement resource set associated with the CSI measurement configuration. For example, if the measured SSB is always-on SSB, the CSI measurement resource is the SSB indicated by the SSB index, and if it is OD-SSB, the CSI measurement resource is the SSB indicated by the OD-SSB index, or by indicating the reference signal type (RS type) of the measured SSB as OD-SSB or always-on SSB through the reporting configuration.

[0282] Implementation III: When the OD-SSB is activated, for example, after receiving the activation indication of the OD-SSB, the terminal performs L1 measurement based on at least the OD-SSB, and when the OD-SSB is deactivated, if L1 measurement is to be performed, the terminal measures based on the always-on SSB.

[0283] Implementation four: the terminal identifies whether the measurement result is associated with the OD-SSB or the always-on SSB when reporting the L1 measurement result.

[0284] It should be noted that the above implementations can be combined arbitrarily, for example, implementation two and implementation three can be combined, and the network side will distinguish between different SSB resources when measuring, but the specific measurement behavior needs to be judged according to whether the OD-SSB is activated.

[0285] Example three, independent measurement and reporting.

[0286] The terminal performs measurement or reporting based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively, and there are different implementations.

[0287] Implementation one: the terminal measures based on the time-frequency domain position of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB. If the OD-SSB is measured, the always-on SSB is not measured; if the always-on SSB is measured, the OD-SSB is not measured. If both are measured, they are measured separately according to the time-frequency domain position.

[0288] Implementation two: the terminal, when measuring, does not combine or filter the other type of SSB when performing measurement combination or filtering on one type of SSB. For example, for the measurement of the OD-SSB, when filtering is performed, the following formula is performed: Fn=(1-a)*Fn-1+a*Mn;

[0289] Wherein, Mn is the measurement value of the OD-SSB received from the physical layer last time, Fn is the filtered measurement result, Fn-1 is the measurement result obtained by the previous filtering, and a represents the coefficient.

[0290] It can be understood that for the measurement of the always-on SSB, Mn is the measurement value of the latest always-on SSB received from the physical layer.

[0291] It should be noted that for joint measurement or reporting, the SSB types are not distinguished during measurement combination or filtering, and Mn is the measurement value of the SSB received from the physical layer last time, regardless of the type of the SSB.

[0292] In some embodiments, in the case where the terminal performs measurement based on the OD-SSB, if the measurement value of the always-on SSB is measured at the same time, the measurement value of the always-on SSB can be filtered together to obtain the measurement result, but the a value used for filtering based on the measurement value of the always-on SSB can be different from the a value used for filtering based on the measurement value of the OD-SSB. Similarly, in the case where the terminal performs measurement based on the always-on SSB, if the measurement value of the OD-SSB is measured at the same time, the measurement value of the OD-SSB can be filtered together to obtain the measurement result, but the a value used for filtering based on the measurement value of the OD-SSB can be different from the a value used for filtering based on the measurement value of the always-on SSB.

[0293] Embodiment three: In the case where the terminal reports the measurement results of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB filtered independently, the terminal reports the measurement results of the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB based on the OD-SSB and the always-on SSB respectively.

[0294] Further, the terminal can report the corresponding measurement result according to the reporting configuration.

[0295] Further, when the terminal reports, the terminal can identify whether the measurement resource of the reported measurement result is the OD-SSB or the always-on SSB.

[0296] Optionally, the SSB configured on the first object includes the second type of SSB;

[0297] The terminal performs at least one of measurement and reporting according to the SSB configured on the first object, including:

[0298] In the case where it is determined according to at least one of the first configuration information and the first indication that the second type of SSB configured on the first object is activated, the terminal performs at least one of measurement and reporting according to the second type of SSB configured on the first object;

[0299] The first indication is used to indicate that the second type of SSB configured on the first object is activated.

[0300] In this embodiment, in the case where the second type of SSB is activated, the terminal performs at least one of measurement and reporting according to the second type of SSB configured on the first object. For example, the network side device can send an activation indication (i.e. the first indication) to the terminal to indicate that the second type of SSB configured on the first object is activated, or the terminal can determine that the second type of SSB is activated by default in the case where the second type of SSB is configured on the first object.

[0301] Exemplarily, the first indication can be carried in a media access control control element (MAC CE) or downlink control information (DCI).

[0302] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0303] In a case where the first configuration information comprises the second-type SSB-related configuration information and the trigger state of the second-type SSB is set as the activated state, the terminal determines that the second-type SSB configured on the first object is activated.

[0304] Or

[0305] In a case where the first configuration information comprises the second-type SSB-related configuration information and the secondary cell state in the secondary cell configuration information is set as the activated state, the terminal determines that the second-type SSB configured on the first object is activated.

[0306] In an embodiment, the trigger state of the second-type SSB can be indicated by an indication field, and then whether the second-type SSB is activated can be determined based on the value of the trigger state of the second-type SSB, for example, if the trigger state of the second-type SSB is set as the activated state, it is determined that the second-type SSB is activated, and if the trigger state of the second-type SSB is set as the inactivated state, it is determined that the second-type SSB is not activated.

[0307] In some optional embodiments, the terminal can determine that the second-type SSB configured on the first object is activated in a case where the secondary cell state in the secondary cell configuration information is set as activated and the trigger state of the second-type SSB is set as the activated state.

[0308] In another embodiment, whether the second-type SSB is activated can be determined based on the state of the secondary cell associated with the second-type SSB, for example, if the state of the secondary cell associated with the second-type SSB is set as the activated state, it is determined that the second-type SSB is activated, and if the state of the secondary cell associated with the second-type SSB is set as the inactivated state, it is determined that the second-type SSB is not activated.

[0309] It should be noted that the configuration information of the second-type SSB can be contained in the configuration / addition information of the Scell (i.e., the above-mentioned secondary cell configuration information), or the configuration information of the second-type SSB can be independently set with the configuration / addition information of the Scell.

[0310] The present embodiment is described below in conjunction with examples:

[0311] When the network side configures or adds a certain Scell for the terminal, the Scell can be directly set to an active state. At this time, in order to quickly complete the activation process of the Scell by using the OD-SSB, it is necessary to consider where and when the activation information and configuration information of the OD-SSB are sent.

[0312] Embodiment one: the configuration information of the OD-SSB is contained in the configuration / addition / resumption information of the Scell. In the case of receiving the configuration / addition information of the Scell, if the Scell is set to the active state, it is considered that the OD-SSB is also activated.

[0313] Embodiment two: the configuration information of the OD-SSB is independent of the configuration / addition / resumption information of the Scell. In the case of receiving the configuration information of the OD-SSB, it is considered that the OD-SSB is activated.

[0314] Embodiment three: the configuration information of the OD-SSB is contained in the configuration / addition / resumption information of the Scell. When the trigger state of the OD-SSB is set to the active state, it is considered that the OD-SSB is activated, or when the activation indication (i.e., the first indication) carried by the MAC CE or the DCI is received, it is considered that the OD-SSB is activated.

[0315] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0316] The media access control (MAC) layer of the terminal receives a second indication from the network side device, and the second indication is used to indicate that the second type SSB of the first secondary cell is activated.

[0317] The MAC layer of the terminal sends a third indication to the radio resource control (RRC) layer of the terminal, and the third indication is used to indicate that the second type SSB of the first secondary cell is activated.

[0318] The RRC layer of the terminal determines that the MO of the second type SSB of the first secondary cell is activated based on the third indication.

[0319] In the embodiment, the above-mentioned first secondary cell can be any secondary cell configured with the second type SSB.

[0320] Exemplarily, when the MAC CE indicates that the OD-SSB of a certain SCell is activated, the MAC layer needs to inform the RRC layer which SCell the OD-SSB of which is activated, so that the RRC layer determines that the MO associated with the OD-SSB of the SCell is activated, and then the RRC layer can trigger measurement or reporting.

[0366] It should be noted that the implementation of the embodiment can refer to the related description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, which will not be repeated here.

[0367] The following is an example of some content related to the embodiments of the present application:

[0368] Example one:

[0369] When the Scell has not been successfully activated, the signaling of the network side indicating the OD-SSB transmission needs to be sent to the terminal from another activated cell (Cell). Due to the existence of signaling processing time, the terminal needs to determine from when to receive the OD-SSB or expect the network side to start transmitting the OD-SSB, so as to perform corresponding measurement or measurement reporting, while avoiding the situation that the network side and the terminal side exist understanding inconsistency, resulting in unnecessary transmission or not timely transmission of the network side, or unnecessary detection or not timely detection of the terminal.

[0370] For example, as shown in FIGS. 5a to 5d, it is assumed that the terminal starts to receive (try to receive) the OD-SSB from time A, or expects the network side to start transmitting the OD-SSB from time A. Optionally, the SCS of the Cell of the OD-SSB indication signaling is the same as the SCS of the OD-SSB SCell.

[0371] In some embodiments, time instance A is the time slot boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, T time slots / ms after the time instance / time slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling or the feedback of the OD-SSB indication signaling (both are exemplified as the former (i.e. the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling) but they can be replaced by each other), or, time instance A is the time slot boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, after the time instance / time slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling or the feedback of the OD-SSB indication signaling, corresponding / overlapping to the time slot / symbol / time instance on the OD-SSB Scell, T time slots / ms later. For example, time instance A is the time slot boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, T ms after the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 5a; for another example, time instance A is the time slot boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, T time slots after the time instance that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling; for another example, time instance A is the time slot boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, corresponding to the time slot on the OD-SSB Scell, T time slots after the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. For another example, time instance A is the time slot / symbol boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, T time slots / ms after the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling on the cell where the OD-SSB indication signaling is located.

[0372] Since each SSB in the burst of OD-SSB is not necessarily all transmitted, and which SSB is specifically transmitted needs to be configured by the network side, here 'actually transmitted' can be understood as the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, i.e. without considering the SSB time domain position that is not transmitted. Or if considering the whole OD-SSB burst, time instance A is expressed as the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst, T time slots / ms after the time instance / time slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. For example, time instance A is the time slot boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst is located, T ms after the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 5b.

[0373] Since the time-domain location of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, when the network side indicates the OD-SSB transmission, the time after the processing time can just be in the OD-SSB burst. Therefore, in some embodiments, it is considered that the time A is still determined based on the valid part of the OD-SSB burst, as shown in FIG. 5c. In other embodiments, the 'actual transmission' means that when the OD-SSB burst can be completely transmitted, it is considered that the time-domain location of the transmission candidate is valid, i.e., the actual transmission needs to be expressed as a complete actual transmission. Accordingly, the time A is the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time-domain location of the OD-SSB burst after the actual transmission of the time T time slots / symbols / ms after the time slot / symbol at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, or the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time-domain location of the complete OD-SSB burst after the actual transmission. For example, the time A is the time slot boundary of the first SSB time-domain location of the complete OD-SSB burst after the actual transmission of the time T ms after the time slot at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 5d. In other embodiments, since the timing of the two cells can be different, the timing conversion needs to be reflected in the determination of the time A. At this time, the time A can be the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time-domain location of the OD-SSB burst after the actual transmission of the time T time slots / symbols / ms corresponding to / overlapping on the OD-SSB Scell after the time T time slots / symbols / ms after the time at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, or the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time-domain location of the complete OD-SSB burst after the actual transmission of the time T time slots / symbols / ms corresponding to / overlapping on the OD-SSB Scell after the time T time slots / symbols / ms after the time at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. For another example, the time A is the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time-domain location of the OD-SSB burst after the actual transmission of the time T time slots / ms after the time at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling on the cell where the OD-SSB indication signaling is located. For another example, the time A is the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time-domain location of the complete OD-SSB burst after the actual transmission of the time T time slots / ms after the time at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0374] In some embodiments, time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T time slots / symbols / ms from the time instance / time slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling (or the feedback of the OD-SSB indication signaling is sent, the former is taken as an example below, but can be replaced by each other). For example, time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T ms from the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 5e, other examples are basically the same as described in the previous part, the difference is only whether it is the first SSB time domain position, not the time slot boundary where it is located, so here will not be repeated.

[0375] Since each SSB in an OD-SSB burst is not necessarily all transmitted, and the specific transmission of which SSB needs to be configured by the network side, therefore, 'actually transmitted' here refers to the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, that is, without considering the SSB time domain position that is not transmitted, as shown in FIG. 5f. Or if considering the entire OD-SSB burst, time instance A is expressed as the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst after T time slots / symbols / ms from the time instance / time slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. For example, time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst after T ms from the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0376] Since the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, after the processing time, the time instance may just be in the OD-SSB burst after the network side indicates the OD-SSB transmission. Therefore, in some embodiments, 'actually transmitted' is expressed as the OD-SSB burst that can be completely transmitted, that is, the actual transmission needs to be expressed as complete actual transmission. Accordingly, time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the complete OD-SSB burst actually transmitted after T time slots / symbols / ms from the time instance / time slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. For example, time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst actually transmitted after T ms from the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, or the first SSB time domain position of the complete OD-SSB burst actually transmitted. For example, time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the complete OD-SSB burst actually transmitted after T time slots / ms from the time slot that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling on the cell indicated by the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0377] In some embodiments, T is a protocol predefined or network side preconfigured processing time, including the processing time of the OD-SSB indication signaling, for example, only the T1 part in FIG. 5g. At this time, assuming that the terminal receives the indication signaling at time n, the time n+T is very likely not equal to time A.

[0378] In some embodiments, T not only includes the processing time, but also at least one of the following: a timing difference between the OD-SSB SCell and the OD-SSB signaling transmission cell, a first gap, a second gap.

[0379] The timing difference is included in the configuration information of the OD-SSB, or is indicated in the OD-SSB indication signaling. Since the timings of the two cells can not be consistent, in order to determine the candidate position of the OD-SSB on the SCell, the timing needs to be finally converted to the timing of the SCell.

[0380] The first gap is the time interval between the OD-SSB signaling and the first available OD-SSB candidate position, for example, T1+T2 in FIG. 5g, or the time interval between the OD-SSB signaling after the processing time and the first available OD-SSB candidate position, for example, T2 in FIG. 5g. The available OD-SSB candidate position can refer to the time domain position of the SSB index #0 of an OD-SSB burst, or the time slot in which it is located; or refers to the time domain position of the first OD-SSB actually transmitted in an OD-SSB burst, or the time slot in which it is located. The time interval can be the time interval after considering the inter-cell timing conversion, or can also be the time interval without considering whether the inter-cell timing is converted, that is, the first gap includes the cell timing difference. It can be understood that since the candidate position of the OD-SSB is preconfigured, the terminal can determine the first gap by itself, that is, the first gap does not need to be indicated additionally, but the OD-SSB indication signaling can also indicate the first gap.

[0381] The second gap is the time interval between the time domain location of SSB index #0 of the OD-SSB burst or the time slot where it is located, and the time domain location of the first actually transmitted OD-SSB of the OD-SSB burst or the time slot where it is located, such as T3 in FIG. 5g. It is mainly used for determining the location of the first actually transmitted SSB when the first gap can only be determined to SSB index #0 of the OD-SSB burst. It can be understood that since the transmission pattern of the OD-SSB is pre-configured, the terminal can determine the second gap by itself, i.e., the second gap does not need to be indicated additionally, but the OD-SSB indication signaling can also indicate the second gap.

[0382] In some embodiments, none of T is indicated in the OD-SSB indication signaling. In other embodiments, only the first gap is indicated in the OD-SSB indication signaling. In other embodiments, the OD-SSB indication signaling directly indicates the value of T, i.e., only one indication field is needed.

[0383] It should be noted that the OD-SSB indication signaling in the present example is also the SSB indication shown in FIGS. 5a-5f.

[0384] Example Two:

[0385] When the Scell has not been successfully activated, the signaling of the network side indicating the on-demand SSB transmission needs to be sent to the terminal from another activated Cell. Due to the existence of signaling processing time, the terminal needs to determine from when to receive the on-demand SSB or expect the network side to start transmitting the on-demand SSB, so as to perform corresponding measurement or measurement reporting, while avoiding the situation that there is a misunderstanding between the network side and the terminal side, resulting in unnecessary transmission or not timely transmission of the network side, or unnecessary detection or not timely detection of the terminal.

[0386] It is assumed that the terminal starts (trying) to receive the OD-SSB from time A, or expects the network side to start transmitting the OD-SSB from time A. Optionally, the SCS of the cell of the OD-SSB indication signaling is different from the SCS of the OD-SSB SCell.

[0387] In some embodiments, the time unit of the time interval T can be set as ms, since it is ms, which is independent of the size of the SCS, the time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T ms from the time instance / slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling or sends the feedback of the OD-SSB indication signaling (both are taken as examples with the former (i.e. the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling) in the following, but both can be replaced by each other). Since each SSB in a burst of OD-SSB is not necessarily all transmitted, and the specific SSB to be transmitted needs to be configured by the network side, therefore, here 'actually transmitted' can refer to the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, i.e. without considering the SSB time domain position that is not transmitted. If the whole SSB burst is considered, the time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst after T ms from the time instance / slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0388] Since the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, when the network side indicates the OD-SSB to be transmitted, the time after the processing time can just be in the OD-SSB burst. Therefore, in some embodiments, 'actually transmitted' can refer to when the OD-SSB burst can be completely transmitted, the transmission candidate time domain position is considered to be valid, i.e. the actually transmitted needs to be expressed as the complete actually transmitted. Accordingly, the time instance A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst or the first SSB time domain position of the complete actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T ms from the time instance / slot / symbol that the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0389] In some embodiments, the time unit of the time interval T can also be set as ms, since it is ms, which is independent of the size of the SCS, the time instance A is the time slot / symbol boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, T ms after the time instance / slot / symbol when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling or sends the feedback of the OD-SSB indication signaling (both are taken as examples in the following, but they can be replaced by each other). Since each SSB in a burst of OD-SSB is not necessarily transmitted, and the specific SSB to be transmitted needs to be configured by the network side, ‘actually transmitted’ here can refer to the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, i.e., without considering the SSB time domain position that is not transmitted. If the entire OD-SSB burst is considered, the time instance A is the time slot / symbol boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst is located, T ms after the time instance / slot / symbol when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0390] Since the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, when the network side indicates the OD-SSB transmission, the time instance after the processing time can be just in the OD-SSB burst. Therefore, in some embodiments, ‘actually transmitted’ means that when the OD-SSB burst can be completely transmitted, the transmission candidate time domain position is considered valid, and accordingly, the time instance A is the time slot / symbol boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst is located, or the time slot / symbol boundary where the first SSB time domain position of the complete OD-SSB burst is located, T ms after the time instance / slot / symbol when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0391] In some embodiments, the value of T is determined according to the SCS of the Cell that transmits the OD-SSB indication signaling. The determination of the time instance A can be determined according to at least one of the following:

[0392] the starting time instance;

[0393] the time instance after the signaling processing;

[0394] the time instance after the conversion to the OD-SSB transmission Scell.

[0395] The starting time instance can include one of the following:

[0396] the time instance when the indication signaling is sent;

[0397] the symbol boundary where the indication signaling is sent;

[0398] the time slot boundary where the indication signaling is sent;

[0399] an indication of a symbol in which the signaling is transmitted;

[0400] an indication of a slot in which the signaling is transmitted;

[0401] an indication of a time at which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0402] an indication of a symbol boundary in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0403] an indication of a slot boundary in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0404] an indication of a symbol in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0405] an indication of a slot in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted.

[0406] wherein the time after signaling processing can comprise one of:

[0407] a time after the start time by a processing time;

[0408] a symbol boundary after the start time by a processing time;

[0409] a slot boundary after the start time by a processing time;

[0410] a symbol after the start time by a processing time;

[0411] a slot after the start time by a processing time.

[0412] wherein the time after conversion to an OD-SSB transmission Scell can comprise one of:

[0413] a time of an OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the time after signaling processing;

[0414] a symbol boundary of an OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the time after signaling processing;

[0415] a slot boundary of an OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the time after signaling processing;

[0417] a slot of an OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the time after signaling processing;

[0418] a slot boundary of a last slot of an OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping a slot in which the time after signaling processing is located;

[0419] the last slot of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping with the slot where the signaling processing moment is located.

[0420] In summary, the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after the moment / time slot / symbol on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after the moment / time slot / symbol at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling or sends the feedback of the OD-SSB indication signaling (both are taken as examples in the following, but they can be replaced by each other), after T time slots / symbols / ms (of the time slot / symbol boundary), for example, the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after the moment on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after the time slot boundary corresponding to T time slots after the time slot at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6a; for another example, the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after the moment on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after the moment corresponding to T time slots after the moment at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6b; for another example, the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after the time slot on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after the moment corresponding to T time slots after the moment at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6c; for another example, the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after the moment on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after the moment corresponding to T time slots after the time slot at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6d; for another example, the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after the last time slot on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the time slot after T time slots after the time slot at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling; for another example, the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after the last time slot on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the time slot after T time slots after the symbol at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0421] Since each SSB in an OD-SSB burst is not necessarily transmitted, and which SSB to transmit is configured by the network side, 'actual transmission' here can refer to the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, i.e. without considering the SSB time domain position that is not transmitted. If the whole OD-SSB burst is considered, time A is the time slot / symbol boundary corresponding to the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst after time T time slots / symbols after the time slot / symbol / time at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located. There is also a case where, since the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, the time after the processing time after the network side indicates the OD-SSB transmission can be exactly in the OD-SSB burst. Therefore, in some embodiments, 'actual transmission' refers to when the OD-SSB burst can be completely transmitted, and the transmission candidate time domain position is considered valid, i.e. the actual transmission needs to be expressed as a complete actual transmission. Accordingly, time A is the time slot / symbol boundary corresponding to the first SSB time domain position of the actual OD-SSB burst after time T time slots / symbols after the time slot / symbol / time at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located, or the time slot / symbol boundary corresponding to the first SSB time domain position of the complete OD-SSB burst that is actually transmitted.

[0422] In some embodiments, the value of T is determined according to the SCS of the Cell that transmits the OD-SSB indication signaling. Unlike the above embodiments, time A is no longer the time slot boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst, but the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst. Therefore, at this time, time A is the first SSB time domain position of the actual OD-SSB burst after time T time slots / symbols after the time slot / symbol / time at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located, e.g. the first SSB time domain position of the actual OD-SSB burst after time T time slots on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the time slot boundary at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. Other examples are basically the same as described in the previous part, the difference is only whether it is the first SSB time domain position or the time slot boundary where it is located, so here is not repeated.

[0423] Since each SSB in an OD-SSB burst is not necessarily transmitted, and which SSB is transmitted needs to be configured by the network side, 'actual transmission' here refers to the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, i.e., without considering the time domain position of the SSB that is not transmitted. If the entire OD-SSB burst is considered, time A is the time slot / symbol boundary after time A corresponding to the first time domain position of the OD-SSB burst on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after T time slots / symbols after the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. There is another case, since the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, the time after the processing time after the network side indicates the OD-SSB transmission may just be in the OD-SSB burst. Therefore, in some embodiments, 'actual transmission' refers to when the OD-SSB burst can be completely transmitted, the transmission candidate time domain position is considered valid, i.e., the actual transmission needs to be expressed as complete actual transmission. Accordingly, time A is the time slot / symbol boundary after time A corresponding to the first time domain position of the OD-SSB burst after actual transmission on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after T time slots / symbols after the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, or the first time domain position of the complete OD-SSB burst after actual transmission.

[0424] It should be noted that the OD-SSB corresponding to the time slot / symbol after T time slots / symbols after the time slot / symbol when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling includes two cases, one case is: the OD-SSB corresponding to the time slot / symbol after T time slots / symbols after the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, the other case is: the OD-SSB corresponding to the time slot / symbol boundary after T time slots / symbols after the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0425] In some embodiments, the value of T is determined according to the SCS of the Scell transmitting the OD-SSB. Time A can be determined according to at least one of the following:

[0426] the starting time;

[0427] the starting time converted into the time on the OD-SSB transmission Scell;

[0428] the time after signaling processing.

[0429] The starting time can include one of the following:

[0430] the time of the indication signaling transmission;

[0431] an indication of a symbol in which the signaling is transmitted;

[0432] an indication of a symbol boundary in which the signaling is transmitted;

[0433] an indication of a slot in which the signaling is transmitted;

[0434] an indication of a slot boundary in which the signaling is transmitted;

[0435] an indication of a time at which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0436] an indication of a symbol in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0437] an indication of a symbol boundary in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0438] an indication of a slot in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted;

[0439] an indication of a slot boundary in which feedback of the signaling is transmitted.

[0440] wherein the time converted from the start time to the time of the OD-SSB transmission Scell can include one of:

[0441] a time of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the start time;

[0442] a symbol boundary of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the start time;

[0443] a slot boundary of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the start time;

[0444] a symbol of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the start time;

[0445] a slot of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping the start time;

[0446] a slot boundary of a last slot of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping a slot of the start time;

[0447] a last slot of the OD-SSB transmission Scell corresponding to or overlapping a slot of the start time.

[0448] wherein the time after the signaling processing can include one of:

[0449] a time after the time converted from the start time to the time of the OD-SSB transmission Scell and after the processing time;

[0450] a symbol boundary after the time converted from the start time to the time of the OD-SSB transmission Scell and after the processing time;

[0451] the starting moment converted into the moment after OD-SSB transmission Scell after processing time of the slot boundary;

[0452] the starting moment converted into the moment after OD-SSB transmission Scell after processing time of the symbol;

[0453] the starting moment converted into the moment after OD-SSB transmission Scell after processing time of the slot.

[0454] In summary, the above-mentioned moment A is the first SSB time domain position of the actual transmission of the OD-SSB burst after T slots / symbols / ms on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the moment / slot / symbol boundary of the terminal receiving the OD-SSB indication signaling or the feedback of sending the OD-SSB indication signaling (both are taken as examples in the following, but they can be replaced with each other). For example, the moment A is the slot boundary of the actual transmission of the OD-SSB burst after T slots on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the moment of the terminal receiving the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6e; for another example, the moment A is the slot boundary of the actual transmission of the OD-SSB burst after T slots on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the last slot of the terminal receiving the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6e; for another example, the moment A is the slot boundary of the actual transmission of the OD-SSB burst after T slots on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the moment of the terminal receiving the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6f; for another example, the moment A is the slot boundary of the actual transmission of the OD-SSB burst after T slots on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the moment of the terminal receiving the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6g; for another example, the moment A is the slot boundary of the actual transmission of the OD-SSB burst after T slots on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located corresponding to the slot boundary of the terminal receiving the OD-SSB indication signaling, as shown in FIG. 6e.

[0455] Since each SSB in an OD-SSB burst is not necessarily transmitted, and which SSB to transmit is configured by the network side, 'actual transmission' here can refer to the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, i.e. without considering the SSB time domain positions that are not transmitted. If the entire OD-SSB burst is considered, time A is expressed as the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst after T time slots / symbols from the time slot / symbol (boundary) corresponding to the OD-SSB on the SCell where the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. In another case, since the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, the time after processing after the network side indicates the OD-SSB transmission can be just in the OD-SSB burst. In some embodiments, 'actual transmission' is expressed as complete actual transmission, i.e. only when the OD-SSB burst can be completely transmitted is the transmission candidate time domain position considered valid. Therefore, another expression is that time A is the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the actual transmission OD-SSB burst after T time slots / symbols from the time slot / symbol (boundary) corresponding to the OD-SSB on the SCell where the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, or the time slot / symbol boundary of the first SSB time domain position of the complete actual transmission OD-SSB burst.

[0456] In some embodiments, the value of T is determined according to the SCS of the Scell on which the OD-SSB is transmitted. At this time, time A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T time slots / symbols on the Scell on which the OD-SSB corresponding to the boundary of the time slot / symbol at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling is located. Different from the above embodiments, time A is no longer the time slot boundary at which the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst is located, but the first SSB time domain position of the OD-SSB burst. For example, time A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T time slots on the Scell on which the OD-SSB corresponding to the boundary of the time slot at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling is located. For another example, time A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T time slots on the time slot boundary on the Scell on which the OD-SSB corresponding to the boundary of the time slot at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling is located. For another example, time A is the first SSB time domain position of the actually transmitted OD-SSB burst after T time slots on the last time slot on the Scell on which the OD-SSB corresponding to the time slot at which the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling is located. Other examples are basically the same as described in the above part, the difference is only whether it is the first SSB time domain position, not the time slot boundary at which it is located, so here is not described again.

[0457] Since each SSB in a burst of an OD-SSB is not necessarily transmitted, and which SSB is transmitted needs to be configured by the network side, 'actual transmission' here refers to the part of the OD-SSB burst that is configured to be transmitted, i.e. without considering the time domain position of the SSB that is not transmitted. If the entire OD-SSB burst is considered, time A is expressed as the first time domain position of the OD-SSB burst on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located after T time slots / symbols from the time slot / symbol (boundary) corresponding to the time when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling. There is also a case where, since the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, the time after the processing time after the network side indicates the OD-SSB to be transmitted may just be in the OD-SSB burst. In some embodiments, 'actual transmission' is expressed as when the OD-SSB burst can be completely transmitted, the transmission candidate time domain position is considered valid, so another expression is that time A is the first time domain position of the complete OD-SSB burst actually transmitted after T time slots / symbols from the time slot / symbol (boundary) corresponding to the time when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling on the SCell where the OD-SSB is located; or it is considered that 'complete' can also express the same meaning.

[0458] It should be noted that the OD-SSB corresponding to the time slot / symbol (boundary) when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling includes two cases, one case is the OD-SSB corresponding to the time when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling, and the other case is the OD-SSB corresponding to the boundary of the time when the terminal receives the OD-SSB indication signaling.

[0459] In some embodiments, T is a processing time pre-defined by the protocol or pre-configured by the network side, including the processing time of the OD-SSB indication signaling. At this time, it is assumed that the time when the terminal receives the indication signaling is n, and the time n+T is likely to be not equal to time A. As shown in FIG. 6h.

[0460] In other embodiments, T not only includes the processing time, but also can include at least one of the following: timing difference between the OD-SSB SCell and the OD-SSB signaling transmission cell, first gap, second gap.

[0461] The timing difference is included in the configuration information of the OD-SSB or indicated in the OD-SSB indication signaling. Since the timing of the two cells can not be consistent, in order to determine the candidate position of the OD-SSB on the SCell, the timing needs to be converted to the timing of the SCell.

[0462] The first gap is the time interval between the OD-SSB signaling and the first available OD-SSB candidate position, or the time interval between the OD-SSB signaling after processing and the first available OD-SSB candidate position. The available OD-SSB candidate position can refer to the time domain position of the SSB index #0 of an OD-SSB burst or the time slot in which it is located, or the time domain position of the first OD-SSB actually transmitted in an OD-SSB burst or the time slot in which it is located. The time interval can be the time interval after considering the inter-cell timing conversion, or the time interval without considering whether the inter-cell timing is converted, i.e., the first gap includes the cell timing difference. It can be understood that since the candidate position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured, the terminal can determine the first gap by itself, i.e., the first gap does not need to be indicated additionally, but the OD-SSB indication signaling can also indicate the first gap.

[0463] The second gap is the time interval between the time domain position of the SSB index #0 of an OD-SSB burst or the time slot in which it is located and the time domain position of the first OD-SSB actually transmitted in an OD-SSB burst or the time slot in which it is located. It is mainly used to determine the position of the first SSB actually transmitted when the first gap can only be determined to the SSB index #0 of the OD-SSB burst. It can be understood that since the transmission pattern of the OD-SSB is pre-configured, the terminal can determine the second gap by itself, i.e., the second gap does not need to be indicated additionally, but the OD-SSB indication signaling can also indicate the second gap.

[0464] In some embodiments, none of the items of T is indicated in the OD-SSB indication signaling; in other embodiments, only the first gap is indicated in the OD-SSB indication signaling; in other embodiments, the OD-SSB indication signaling directly indicates the value of T, i.e., only one indication field is needed.

[0465] It is noted that if absoluteFrequencyODSSB is configured and absoluteFrequencySSB is not configured, when OD-SSB is indicated or triggered to be transmitted, the UE expects OD-SSB to be periodically transmitted from time A until the Scell is deactivated, or to be transmitted with a first periodicity from time A until the Scell activation is completed, and to be transmitted with a second periodicity from the completion of the Scell activation until the Scell is deactivated. Optionally, the first periodicity and the second periodicity can be the same or different. Optionally, the first periodicity and the second periodicity are carried in the indication or trigger signaling of the OD-SSB.

[0466] If absoluteFrequencyODSSB is configured and absoluteFrequencySSB is configured, when OD-SSB is indicated or triggered to be transmitted, the UE expects OD-SSB to be periodically transmitted for a limited number of bursts from time A, or to be transmitted with a first periodicity from time A until the Scell activation is completed, or to be transmitted with a first periodicity from time A until a Scell activation command is received, and then to be transmitted with a second periodicity until the Scell activation is completed or the Scell is deactivated. At this time, always-on SSB is always transmitted, or is always transmitted from the completion of the Scell activation. Optionally, the first periodicity and the second periodicity can be the same or different. Optionally, the first periodicity and the second periodicity are carried in the indication or trigger signaling of the OD-SSB.

[0467] It should be noted that when the time domain position of the OD-SSB is pre-configured by the network side, the network side indicates the possible transmission position of the OD-SSB by indicating the period and offset of the OD-SSB, for example, the network side configures the parameter of periodicityandoffset for indication. Optionally, the time unit of the parameter of periodicityandoffset is ms, slot, or subframe. In addition, the protocol predefines how to determine the first time unit of the OD-SSB in each period according to the parameter of periodicityandoffset. For example, the parameter of periodicityandoffset indicates the period P and offset, the system frame number (SFN) in which the first time unit is located is: SFN mod T = (FLOOR (Offset / 10)); the subframe in which the first time unit is located is: Offset mod 10; or when the period is greater than a threshold K, the subframe in which the first time unit is located is: Offset mod 10, otherwise it is Offset+K. It should be noted that in this example, T = CEIL (P / 10) when calculating. Wherein, P represents the transmission period of the OD-SSB, T represents the transmission period of the OD-SSB after converting the unit of the transmission period of the OD-SSB from subframe or millisecond to frame, mod represents the modulo operation, FLOOR represents the floor, and CEIL represents the ceiling.
