Description

Measurement method, device, terminal and readable storage medium

[0001] The present application claims priority from the Chinese patent application No. 202411094327.X filed on August 9, 2024, and entitled "Measurement method, device, terminal and readable storage medium", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a measurement method, device, terminal and readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0003] Currently, a terminal can perform beam measurement and / or Channel State Information (CSI) measurement on a Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block (SSB) and a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) according to SSB measurement resources and CSI-RS measurement resources configured by a network side device, and report the measurement results obtained by measurement to the network side device, so that the network side device selects a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state for activation based on the reported measurement results.

[0004] However, in the TCI state activation process, the terminal needs to wait for a SSB and complete coarse synchronization before the TCI state can be in an activated state. Since the synchronization accuracy based on the SSB is poor, the terminal needs to wait for a Type A QCL source reference signal of the TCI state, i.e., a Tracking Reference Signal (TRS), and complete fine synchronization before data transmission can be performed. Therefore, from the TCI state activation to the application, the terminal needs to wait for a SSB and a TRS, and the time is relatively long, even up to tens of milliseconds, which will cause a great impact on data transmission in a high-speed moving scenario (such as a high-speed train), and even cause interruption or lag, greatly reducing the user experience. SUMMARY

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a measurement method, device, terminal and readable storage medium, which can solve the problem of large delay in TCI state activation and application.

[0006] In a first aspect, a measurement method is provided, which is performed by a terminal, and includes: receiving, by the terminal, first signaling from a network-side device; and determining, by the terminal, N target measurement resources according to the first signaling, the target measurement resources including tracking reference signal (TRS) resources, N being a positive integer; so that the terminal can perform first measurement on the N target measurement resources, the first measurement including at least one of: beam measurement, CSI measurement.

[0007] In a second aspect, a measurement apparatus is provided, which includes: a receiving module, and a processing module. The receiving module is configured to receive first signaling from a network-side device. The processing module is configured to determine N target measurement resources according to the first signaling received by the receiving module, the target measurement resources including TRS resources, N being a positive integer; and perform first measurement on the N target measurement resources, the first measurement including at least one of: beam measurement, CSI measurement.

[0008] In a third aspect, a measurement apparatus is provided, which is configured to perform the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0009] In a fourth aspect, a terminal is provided, which includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing programs or instructions executable on the processor, the programs or instructions being executed by the processor to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0010] In a fifth aspect, a terminal is provided, which includes a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface being configured to receive first signaling from a network-side device. The processor is configured to determine N target measurement resources according to the first signaling, the target measurement resources including TRS resources, N being a positive integer; so that the terminal can perform first measurement on the N target measurement resources, the first measurement including at least one of: beam measurement, CSI measurement.

[0011] In a sixth aspect, a readable storage medium is provided, the readable storage medium storing programs or instructions, the programs or instructions being executed by a processor to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0012] In a seventh aspect, a chip is provided, the chip including a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface being coupled to the processor, the processor being configured to execute programs or instructions to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0013] In an eighth aspect, a computer program / program product is provided, the computer program / program product being stored in a storage medium, the computer program / program product being executed by at least one processor to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

Since the terminal can determine the N target measurement resources including TRS resources according to the first instruction from the network side device, the terminal can perform beam measurement and / or CSI measurement on the N target measurement resources including TRS resources, instead of performing beam measurement and / or CSI measurement on SSB measurement resources and CSI-RS measurement resources. Therefore, during the measurement process, the terminal can perform time-frequency tracking and complete fine synchronization according to the N target measurement resources including TRS resources while performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources including TRS resources, so that the terminal can directly activate certain TCI states under the instruction of the network side device to activate the certain TCI states, without performing time-frequency tracking and completing fine synchronization according to TRS resources again. Therefore, the latency of activation and application of TCI states can be reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] The professional terms involved in the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

[0033] 1. Beam measurement and reporting

[0034] Currently, analog beamforming is full-bandwidth transmission, and each polarization direction element on each high-frequency antenna array panel can only transmit analog beams in a time-division multiplexing manner. Among them, the analog beamforming weight is realized by adjusting the parameters of the radio frequency front-end phase shifter and other devices.

[0035] In the related art, the training of the analog beamforming vector is usually performed in a polling manner, that is, the elements of each antenna panel in each polarization direction transmit training signals (i.e., candidate beamforming vectors) in a time-division multiplexing manner in turn at a predetermined time. After measurement, the terminal feeds back a beam report, which is used by the network side device to implement analog beam transmission when transmitting services next time.

[0036] For the Channel State Information (CSI) measurement and reporting framework:

[0037] In a New Radio (NR) system, beam measurement and reporting are based on a CSI framework. The CSI framework includes at least one of a CSI report setting, a CSI resource setting, a non-zero power channel state information-reference signal (NZP-CSI-RS) resource set, and a SSB resource set. The CSI report configuration can be set to one of periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, and aperiodic reporting, and the time domain characteristics of the corresponding resource of the CSI resource setting can also be configured to one of periodic, semi-persistent, and aperiodic.

[0038] The configuration framework of CSI measurement and reporting includes the following contents:

[0039] One CSI report setting can be associated with a maximum of three CSI resource settings (including a CSI resource setting for channel measurement, a CSI resource setting for interference measurement (e.g., channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM)), and a CSI resource setting for interference measurement (NZP-CSI-RS));

[0040] One aperiodic CSI resource setting can include multiple CSI-RS resource sets (NZP-CSI-RS resource set or CSI-IM resource set) and one SSB measurement resource set, and one periodic or semi-persistent CSI resource setting includes only one CSI-RS resource set and one SSB measurement resource set;

[0041] One CSI-RS resource set can include multiple CSI-RS resources (CSI-IM or NZP-CSI-RS);

[0042] One SSB measurement resource set includes multiple SSBs.

[0043] For beam measurement:

[0044] Currently, only CSI-RS or SSB is supported for beam measurement in the standard, and the CSI-RS for beam measurement has only 1-2 ports. The SSB is a periodic reference signal, and the CSI-RS for beam measurement can be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. In the current standard, the CSI-RS resource for beam measurement.

[0045] Beam measurement is limited to serving cell in Release 15 and 16, where Release 15 only supports Layer (L) 1-Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement, and Release 16 introduces L1-Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) to consider inter-cell interference or inter-user interference in beam measurement. L1 beam measurement for neighbor cell which is co-frequency and synchronous with current serving cell is supported in Release 17 Cross-Serving Cell Beam Management and Cross-Serving Cell Multi-Transmission Reception Point project, and L1 beam measurement for neighbor cell which is asynchronous and different frequency is supported in Release 18 Mobile Enhancement project, both of which currently only support SSB based L1-RSRP measurement. After the terminal performs L1 beam measurement according to the measurement resource configured by the network, it selects part of the beams for reporting according to the measurement results.

[0046] For beam reporting:

[0047] In the current standard, the terminal selects appropriate beams for reporting based on the beam measurement results of the full bandwidth. The measurement quantity of the full bandwidth beam measurement can be L1-RSRP / L1-Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ) / L1-SINR, and the beam reporting method includes group-based and non-group-based. For non-group-based beam reporting, the terminal selects at most 4 beams from all measurement resources configured by the network side device for reporting according to the measurement quantity. For group-based beam reporting, the terminal selects a pair of beams that can be received simultaneously by the terminal for reporting according to the measurement results in Release 15 / 16. The content of the reporting includes measurement resource index and its corresponding measurement value, and the measurement resource index CSI-RS Resource Indictor (CRI) / SSB Resource Indicator (SSBRI) is the index of the measurement resource in its corresponding measurement resource set (NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet or CSI-SSB-ResourceSet). The time domain characteristics of the reporting are similar to those of the CSI-RS measurement resource, and also include periodic reporting, semi-persistent reporting, and aperiodic reporting, as follows:

[0048] Periodic reporting: associated with periodic CSI-RS resource, reporting resource is PUCCH resource, configured by network through RRC;

[0049] Semi-persistent reporting: associated with periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS resource, reporting resource can be PUCCH resource or PUSCH resource, wherein PUCCH resource is determined by MAC CE signaling, and PUSCH resource is determined by DCI;

[0050] Aperiodic reporting: associated with periodic or semi-persistent or aperiodic CSI-RS resource, reporting resource is PUSCH resource, wherein PUSCH resource is determined by DCI;

[0051] In the Release 17 Multi-Transmission Reception Point (TRP) project, the group-based beam reporting mode is enhanced. The terminal can select up to 4 pairs of beams that the terminal can receive simultaneously from the measurement resources configured by the network, and each pair of beams corresponds to different TRPs, so as to ensure that the network can send the pair of beams at the same time.

[0052] In the Release 18 L1 / L2-Triggered Mobility (LTM) project, L1 reporting for handover, i.e., LTM-CSI-ReportConfig, is introduced. In one L1 report for handover, the terminal can report up to 4 cells, and each cell reports 4 beam measurement results, i.e., up to 16 beams and their corresponding measurement results.

[0053] 2, CSI-RS

[0054] In the NR system, the CSI-RS resource can be used for beam measurement, time-frequency tracking and CSI measurement. The time-frequency domain resource corresponding to the CSI-RS is determined by the high-level parameter CSI-ResourceMapping, which includes the frequency domain density, the number of occupied ports, the starting physical resource block (PRB) position, the period and the slot offset (only for periodic CSI-RS resources) and the code division multiplexing (CDM) type, etc. For all CSI-RS resources in the same set, the following conditions need to be met:

[0055] For periodic CSI-RS, the periods of all CSI-RS resources in a set are the same, and the slot offsets can be the same or different;

[0056] The number of occupied ports is the same;

[0057] The starting PRB position is the same;

[0058] The frequency domain density is the same;

[0059] The cdm type is the same

[0060] For the CSI-RS used for beam management:

[0061] Generally, the CSI-RS used for beam management can include the CSI-RS used for beam measurement, whose frequency domain density can be 0.5, 1 or 3, and can occupy 1-2 ports. The corresponding transmission beam can be determined according to the high-level parameter repetition. When repetition is configured in the NZP-CSI-RS Resource Set and takes the value "off", or the repetition parameter is not configured, all CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS Resource Set do not correspond to the same transmission beam; when repetition is configured in the NZP-CSI-RS Resource Set and takes the value "on", it is considered that the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS Resource Set correspond to the same transmission beam.

[0062] For the CSI-RS used for time-frequency tracking:

[0063] The CSI-RS used for time-frequency tracking, i.e., the tracking reference signal (TRS), has a frequency domain density of 3 and only occupies one port. The time domain position of the TRS is determined according to the configuration of the network side device, which can specifically include at least one of the following:

[0064] For Frequency Range 1 (FR1) and Frequency Range 2 (FR2), the time domain location of two TRSs in one slot can be {4, 8}, {5, 9}, {6, 10};

[0065] For FR2, the time domain location of two TRSs in one slot can be {4, 8}, {1, 5}, {2, 6}, {3, 7}, {7, 11}, {9, 13}.

[0066] When trs-info is configured in NZP-CSI-RS Resource Set, it means that the NZP-CSI-RS Resource set contains TRS resources. One TRS resource set set can contain 2 or 4 TRS resources. The 2 resources are in one slot slot, and the 4 resources are in two consecutive slots. The time-frequency domain resource allocation of 4 TRS resources is shown in FIG. 1. Considering the accuracy and precision of time-frequency tracking, the terminal needs to perform time-frequency offset estimation based on 2 or 4 TRSs. Therefore, the 2 or 4 TRS resources have the same Quasi Co-Location (QCL) characteristics.

[0067] For periodic TRS resources, the network side device does not expect the TRS Set to be associated with the reporting configuration, that is, the terminal measures the periodic TRS resources, but does not need to report; for aperiodic TRS resources, the corresponding TRS Set is associated with the reporting configuration, so that the network side device can be instructed by DCI signaling to transmit the aperiodic TRS resources, but since the result does not need to be reported, the reporting configuration needs to be set to "none".

[0068] Currently, the standard does not allow a NZP-CSI-RS Resource Set to be configured with both "repetition" and "trs-info" parameters at the same time.

[0069] 3. CSI-RSRP and CSI-SINR measurement

[0070] Currently, the definition of CSI-RSRP measurement is as shown in Table 1:

[0071] Table 1

[0072] Note that 1: the measurement frequency bandwidth and the number of resource elements in the measurement period for the terminal to determine the CSI-RSRP measurement are implemented by the terminal, but must meet the corresponding measurement accuracy requirements. 2: the power of each resource element is determined according to the energy received by the symbol useful part (excluding the cyclic prefix (CP)).

[0073] The definition of CSI-SINR measurement is shown in Table 2:

[0074] Table 2

[0075] 4, Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state state

[0076] In the NR system, the TCI state represents the quasi-co-location characteristics, which is used to indicate the time-frequency offset estimation information, Doppler related parameters and beam information required by the terminal to receive / transmit signals / channels. The above quasi-co-location characteristics are indicated by QCL information. A TCI state can contain at most two QCL information, and a QCL information contains a QCL type and a QCL source reference signal. The QCL information is the relevant parameters of the corresponding QCL type measured according to the QCL source reference signal. For the determination of the TCI state of data transmission (i.e. Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)), the following processes are included:

[0077] The network side device configures a TCI state list through RRC signaling;

[0078] The MAC CE signaling selects one or more TCI states from the TCI state list for activation;

[0079] The DCI signaling indicates a TCI state from the activated multiple TCI states for the reception of PDSCH.

[0080] For TCI state activation, the protocol specifies that when the TCI state indicated in the TCI state activation command is not activated, the terminal needs to wait for at least one SSB and complete the SSB measurement before the indicated TCI state can be activated. Among them, the QCL source reference signal of the TCI state for PDSCH can be CSI-RS for BM, or CSI-RS for CSI, or TRS. The QCL source RS in the TCI state of TRS can be CSI-RS for BM or SSB.

[0086] The measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0087] The measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be executed by a measurement device, or a terminal, or a functional module or entity in the terminal. The measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application is described by taking the terminal as an example in the embodiments of the present application.

[0088] FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of a measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application can include the following steps 101 to 103.

[0089] Step 101: The terminal receives first signaling from a network side device.

[0090] Step 102: The terminal determines N target measurement resources according to the first signaling.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, the target measurement resource described above includes a TRS resource, and N is a positive integer.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the first signaling is used to indicate a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) state, and the N target measurement resources are determined by the first TCI state.

[0093] In some examples, the first signaling can be a PDCCH used to indicate the first TCI state.

[0094] In some examples, the N target measurement resources are determined by a QCL source reference signal of the first TCI state.

[0095] The N target measurement resources can be all or part of target measurement resources in a target measurement resource group to which the QCL source reference signal of the first TCI state belongs, or the N target measurement resources can be all or part of target measurement resources in a measurement resource group associated with the first TCI state.

[0096] It should be noted that the "target measurement resource group" can be understood as a target measurement resource set and / or a target measurement resource subset, wherein at least one target measurement resource can be included in a target measurement resource set, at least one target measurement resource subset can be included in a target measurement resource set, and at least one target measurement resource can be included in each target measurement resource subset.

[0097] As can be seen, since the first signaling can indicate the first TCI state, the terminal can accurately determine the N target measurement resources according to the first TCI state, so that the terminal can accurately measure the N target measurement resources.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, the first signaling is used to activate a second TCI state, and the N target measurement resources are determined by the second TCI state.

[0099] In some examples, the first signaling can further include MAC CE signaling used to activate the second TCI state.

[0100] In some examples, the N target measurement resources are determined by a QCL source reference signal of the second TCI state.

[0101] The N target measurement resources can be all or part of target measurement resources in a target measurement resource group to which the QCL source reference signal of the second TCI state belongs, or the N target measurement resources can be all or part of target measurement resources in a measurement resource group associated with the first TCI state.

[0102] Further optionally, the number of the second TCI states activated by the first signaling is greater than 1.

[0103] Therefore, the terminal can accurately determine the N target measurement resources according to the second TCI state, and thus can accurately measure the N target measurement resources.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, the first signaling includes configuration information of the N target measurement resources.

[0105] In some examples, the first signaling can include second configuration information, which includes configuration information of the N target measurement resources.

[0106] Therefore, the terminal can accurately determine the N target measurement resources according to the configuration information of the N target measurement resources, and thus can accurately measure the N target measurement resources.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the first signaling further includes second signaling for updating or instructing the terminal to perform the first measurement on the target measurement resources.

[0108] In some examples, the second signaling can be MAC CE signaling.

[0109] In some examples, the second signaling is used to instruct the terminal to update the measurement resources for the first measurement to the N target measurement resources, or is used to instruct the terminal that the measurement resources for the first measurement are the N target measurement resources.

[0110] Therefore, the terminal can determine the N target measurement resources for the first measurement according to the second signaling.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the N target measurement resources can come from a plurality of target measurement resource groups. The target measurement resource group can include a target measurement resource set and / or a target measurement resource subset. For example, the N target measurement resources can come from at least one target measurement resource set, and / or come from a plurality of target measurement resource subsets in at least one target measurement resource set.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present application, the first signaling further includes first configuration information, which includes target report configuration information and a plurality of measurement resource settings, the target report configuration information being associated with the plurality of measurement resource settings, and the plurality of measurement resource settings being associated with at least one target measurement resource group.

[0113] In some cases, for example, when the measurement quantity associated with the target report configuration information is L1-RSRP, all of the at least one measurement resource setting is used to configure measurement resources for channel measurement. It can be understood that the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one measurement resource setting are all resource groups for channel measurement. In other cases, for example, when the measurement quantity associated with the target report configuration information is L1-SINR or CSI (including but not limited to PMI, CQI, RI, LI, and CRI), part of the at least one measurement resource setting is used to configure measurement resources for channel measurement. It can be understood that the target measurement resource groups associated with the part of the at least one measurement resource setting are resource groups for channel measurement; and part of the at least one measurement resource setting is used to configure measurement resources for interference measurement. It can be understood that the target measurement resource groups associated with the part of the at least one measurement resource setting are resource groups for interference measurement.

[0114] In some examples, the target report configuration information described above can include at least one of the following: LTM-CSI-ReportConfig and CSI-ReportConfig. The plurality of measurement resource settings described above can include at least one of the following: LTM-CSI-ResourceConfig and CSI-ResourceConfig.

[0115] The following will illustrate the related content of the N target measurement resources in different examples.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present application, the N target measurement resources are associated with a target measurement resource group. The target measurement resource group is configured with a third parameter, which is used to indicate the purpose (for example, for time-frequency tracking) of each target measurement resource in the target measurement resource group. The first parameter corresponding to each target measurement resource in the target measurement resource group is the same. The first parameter includes at least one of the following: a transmit spatial filter, a receive spatial filter, and a quasi co-location characteristic.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, the N target measurement resources are associated with at least two target measurement resource groups, and the at least two target measurement resource groups are associated with at least one first measurement resource setting. Each target measurement resource group includes at least one target measurement resource, and the first measurement resource setting is used to configure measurement resources for channel measurement.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, the N target measurement resources being associated with at least two target measurement resource groups can be understood as follows: the N target measurement resources belong to at least two target measurement resource groups.

[0119] In this example, the at least two target measurement resource groups are resource groups for channel measurement.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the at least one first measurement resource setting is set as a measurement resource setting associated with the target reporting configuration information; further optionally, the at least one first measurement resource setting is set as all measurement resource settings associated with the target reporting configuration information.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, a third parameter can be further included in each target measurement resource group, which is used to indicate the use (e.g., for time-frequency tracking) of each target measurement resource in the target measurement resource group.

[0122] In the present example, the third parameter can be trs-info, which is used to indicate that the use of each target measurement resource in the at least two target measurement resource groups is time-frequency tracking.

[0123] In embodiments of the present application, different target measurement resource groups in the at least two target measurement resource groups satisfy at least one of the following:

[0124] The first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in different target measurement resource groups are different;

[0125] Whether the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in different target measurement resource groups are the same is determined by the second parameter.

[0126] In embodiments of the present application, the first parameter includes at least one of the following: a transmission spatial filter, a reception spatial filter, and a quasi co-location characteristic; and the second parameter is determined by network side equipment configuration or by first signaling.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, the terminal can assume that the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in different target measurement resource groups are different.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, the second parameter can be repetition.

[0129] For example, it is assumed that the target reporting configuration information is associated with at least two first measurement resource settings, each first measurement resource setting is associated with at least one target measurement resource group (e.g., a target measurement resource set), and each target measurement resource set includes at least one target measurement resource. A parameter (e.g., a second parameter) is added in the target reporting configuration information, which is used to indicate whether the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in the at least two target measurement resource sets are the same.

[0130] For example, assume that the target report configuration information is associated with a first measurement resource setting, the first measurement resource setting is associated with at least two target measurement resource groups (e.g., target measurement resource sets), each target measurement resource set includes at least one target measurement resource. A second parameter is added in the configuration information of the first measurement resource setting, which is used to indicate whether the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in the at least two target measurement resource sets associated with the first measurement resource setting are the same.

[0131] For example, assume that the target report configuration information is associated with a first measurement resource setting, the first measurement resource setting is associated with at least one target measurement resource set for performing channel measurement, the at least one target measurement resource set includes at least two target measurement resource groups (e.g., target measurement resource subsets), each target measurement resource subset includes at least one target measurement resource. A second parameter and a third parameter are configured in the at least one target measurement resource set. The second parameter is used to indicate whether the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in the at least two target measurement resource subsets included in the target measurement resource set are the same, and the third parameter is used to indicate the usage of the target measurement resources in the at least two target measurement resource subsets included in the target measurement resource set.

[0132] As can be seen, since the embodiments of the present application stipulate that, in the case that N target measurement resources are associated with at least two target measurement resource groups, and the at least two target measurement resource groups are associated with at least one first measurement resource setting for configuring measurement resources for performing channel measurement, different conditions required to be met by different target measurement resource groups, the terminal can accurately determine the at least two target measurement resource groups according to the conditions, and accurately obtain the usage and / or corresponding first parameters of the N target measurement resources.

[0133] Further optionally, in the case that the at least one first measurement resource setting is part of the at least one measurement resource setting associated with the target report configuration information, the terminal determines the first parameters of the measurement resources or measurement resource groups for interference measurement according to the first parameters of the target measurement resources in the at least two target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one first measurement resource setting. The number of the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one first measurement resource setting is equal to the number of the measurement resources for interference measurement or equal to the number of the measurement resource groups for interference measurement.

[0134] Further optionally, determining the first parameter of the measurement resource for interference measurement according to the first parameter of the target measurement resource in the target measurement resource group refers to determining according to the first parameter of any one or a fixed one (such as the first target measurement resource or the last target measurement resource in the target measurement resource group) of the target measurement resource group.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present application, the N target measurement resources are associated with at least two target measurement resource groups, and the at least two target measurement resource groups are associated with at least one second measurement resource setting; each target measurement resource group includes at least one target measurement resource; and the second measurement resource setting is used to configure the measurement resource for interference measurement.

[0136] In some embodiments of the present application, the N target measurement resources associated with at least two target measurement resource groups can be understood as that the N target measurement resources belong to at least two target measurement resource groups.

[0137] In the present example, the at least two target measurement resource groups are resource groups for interference measurement.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present application, the at least one second measurement resource setting is part of the measurement resource setting associated with the target report configuration information.

[0139] In the embodiments of the present application, the at least two target measurement resource groups satisfy at least one of the following:

[0140] The first parameter of the target measurement resource in a different target measurement resource group in the at least two target measurement resource groups is determined according to the first parameter of the first measurement resource or the first measurement resource group;

[0141] The number of resource groups corresponding to the at least two target measurement resource groups is equal to the number of the first measurement resources or the number of the first measurement resource groups.

[0142] In the embodiments of the present application, the first parameter includes at least one of the following: a transmit spatial filter, a receive spatial filter, and a quasi co-location characteristic; the first measurement resource is a resource for channel measurement, and the first measurement resource group is a resource group composed of the first measurement resource.

[0143] Further optionally, there is a one-to-one mapping relationship between a target measurement resource group in the at least two target measurement resource groups and the first measurement resource group or the first measurement resource, and the terminal determines the first parameter of all measurement resources in the target measurement resource group corresponding to the target measurement resource group according to the first parameter of the first measurement resource group or the first measurement resource.

[0144] For example, the at least two target measurement resource groups are {set#1, set#2, set#3}, the first measurement resource group includes {resource#1, resource#2, resource#3}, set#1 corresponds to resource#1, set#2 corresponds to resource#2, and set#3 corresponds to resource#3, that is, the first parameters of all target measurement resources in set#1 are determined according to the first parameter of resource#1, and set#2 and set#3 are determined in the same way.

[0145] Therefore, the terminal can accurately determine the at least two target measurement resource groups according to the conditions, and accurately obtain the first parameters corresponding to the N target measurement resources.

[0146] In some embodiments of the present application, the N target measurement resources are associated with at least two target measurement resource groups, and the at least two target measurement resource groups are associated with at least one third measurement resource setting and at least one fourth measurement resource setting. Each target measurement resource group includes at least one target measurement resource; the third measurement resource setting is used to configure measurement resources for channel measurement, and the fourth measurement resource setting is used to configure measurement resources for interference measurement.

[0147] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the at least one third measurement resource setting can be equal to the number of the at least one fourth measurement resource setting.

[0148] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one third measurement resource setting is equal to the number of target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one fourth measurement resource setting.

[0149] In some embodiments of the present application, the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in the target measurement resource group associated with the at least one fourth measurement resource setting are determined according to the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in the first target measurement resource group; the first target measurement resource group is the target measurement resource group associated with the at least one third measurement resource setting; the first parameters include at least one of the following: a transmit spatial filter, a receive spatial filter, and a quasi co-location characteristic.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that at least two target measurement resource groups are associated with a third measurement resource setting, the at least two target measurement resource groups satisfy at least one of the following conditions:

[0151] The first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in different target measurement resource groups are different;

[0152] Whether the first parameters corresponding to the target measurement resources in different target measurement resource groups are the same is determined by a second parameter.

[0153] In the embodiments of the present application, the first parameter includes at least one of the following: a transmission spatial filter, a reception spatial filter, and a quasi co-location characteristic; and the second parameter is determined by network side device configuration or a first signaling.

[0154] Further optionally, there is a one-to-one mapping relationship between the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one third measurement resource setting and the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one fourth measurement resource setting, and the terminal determines the first parameters corresponding to all target measurement resources in the target measurement resource group corresponding to the target measurement resource group #x in the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one fourth measurement resource setting according to the first parameter of the target measurement resource group #x. The target measurement resource group #x is one of the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one third measurement resource setting.

[0155] Further optionally, all target measurement resources in each target measurement resource group in the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one third measurement resource setting correspond to the same first parameter; and all target measurement resources in each target measurement resource group in the target measurement resource groups associated with the at least one fourth measurement resource setting correspond to the same first parameter.

[0156] For example, the at least two target measurement resource groups are {set#1, set#2, set#3, set#4}, the target measurement resource groups associated with the third measurement resource setting include {set#1, set#2}, and the target measurement resource groups associated with the third measurement resource setting include {set#3, set#4}. set#1 corresponds to set#3, set#2 corresponds to set#4, that is, the first parameters of all target measurement resources in set#3 are determined according to the first parameter of set#1, and set#2 and set#4 are the same.

[0157] Therefore, the terminal can accurately determine the at least two target measurement resource groups according to the conditions, and accurately obtain the first parameters corresponding to the N target measurement resources.

[0158] In step 103, the terminal performs first measurement on the N target measurement resources.

[0159] In the embodiments of the present application, the first measurement includes at least one of the following: beam measurement, CSI measurement.

[0160] In some embodiments of the present application, the beam measurement includes at least one of the following: L1-RSRP measurement, L1-SINR measurement.

[0161] In some embodiments of the present application, the measurement quantity of the CSI measurement includes at least one of the following: Channel State Information Reference Signal Indicator (CRI), Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Resource Indicator (RI), Layer Indicator (LI).

[0162] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with FIG. 3, the step 103 can be implemented by the following step 103a, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0163] In step 103a, the terminal performs first measurement on the N target measurement resources by using a preset rule.

[0164] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group, and each of the at least one target measurement resource group is a measurement resource group for performing channel measurement, the preset rule includes at least one of the following:

[0165] According to the results corresponding to at least part of the resource elements (REs) of at least part of the target measurement resources in each of the at least one target measurement resource group, the measurement result corresponding to each of the at least one target measurement resource group is determined.

[0166] determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group;

[0167] determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group, and determining the measurement result with the best or worst result in the M1 measurement results as the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group;

[0168] In the embodiment of the application, M1 is the number of target measurement resources included in one target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group.

[0169] M1 can be a positive integer.

[0170] In the example, the at least one target measurement resource group is associated with at least one measurement resource setting for configuring the measurement resource for performing channel measurement.

[0171] For example, assuming that the N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group for performing channel measurement, and the preset rule includes determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to all resource elements REs of all target measurement resources in each target measurement resource group, as shown in FIG. 5, the target measurement resource group includes 4 target measurement resources, i.e. 4 RSs, each RS occupies y+1 PRBs, and each PRB occupies 3 resource elements REs. Then the terminal determines the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group by taking the linear average of the powers of 4*(y+1)*3 REs corresponding to the 4 RSs.

[0172] For example, assuming that the N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group for performing channel measurement, and the preset rule includes determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to all resource elements REs of part of the target measurement resources in each target measurement resource group, the part of the target measurement resources can be determined by the protocol, and specifically can include at least one of the following:

[0173] 1) the last X target measurement resources in the target measurement resource group, X can be 1, 2, 3, …, Z-1, Z is the number of target measurement resources (e.g. RS) included in the target measurement resource group, the last X target measurement resources can also be understood as the X target measurement resources that are the latest in the time domain position. In the case of X = 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the target measurement resource group includes 4 target measurement resources, i.e. 4 RSs, each RS occupies y+1 PRBs, and each PRB occupies 3 resource elements RE. Then, the terminal can determine the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of all REs of RS #4.

[0174] 2) the first target measurement resource and the last target measurement resource in the target measurement resource group. As shown in FIG. 7, the target measurement resource group includes 4 target measurement resources, i.e. 4 RSs, each RS occupies y+1 PRBs, and each PRB occupies 3 resource elements RE. Then, the terminal can determine the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of all REs of RS #1 and RS #4.

[0175] 3) the first A target measurement resources in the target measurement resource group, A can be 1, 2, 3, …, Z-1, Z is the number of target measurement resources (e.g. RS) included in the target measurement resource group, the A target measurement resources can also be understood as the A target measurement resources that are the earliest in the time domain position.

[0176] Wherein, the values of X and A can be configured by the network side device or agreed by the protocol.

[0177] For example, it is assumed that N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group, the at least one target measurement resource group is used for channel measurement, and the preset rule includes determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to the partial resource elements RE of all target measurement resources in each target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group, the partial RE can be determined by the protocol, and specifically can include at least one of the following:

[0178] 1) The part of REs can be all REs corresponding to part of target measurement resources in a first PRB. The first PRB is part of PRBs occupied by the part of target measurement resources, for example, PRBs at odd positions or PRBs at even positions; as shown in FIG. 8, the bandwidth of the target measurement resources is 28 PRBs, and 3 REs are occupied in each PRB, and the first PRB can be {PRB#x, PRB#x+2, …, PRB#x+26}, that is, PRBs at odd positions. The terminal determines the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of all REs in the first PRB corresponding to 4 RSs, that is, the linear average of the power of 168 REs.

[0179] 2) The part of REs can also be the first REs in the REs corresponding to the part of target measurement resources in the first PRB. The first REs can be B REs in each PRB in the first PRB, and B is less than the number of REs occupied by the target measurement resources in one PRB. In combination with FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 9, when B = 1, the first REs can be the linear average of the power of the first RE corresponding to the target measurement resources in each PRB in the first PRB, and then the terminal determines the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of 56 REs.

[0180] 3) The part of REs can be the first REs in the REs corresponding to the part of target measurement resources in a second PRB. The second PRB is all PRBs occupied by the part of target measurement resources, and in combination with FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, as shown in FIG. 10, the terminal determines the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of the first RE corresponding to the target measurement resources in each PRB in the second PRB, that is, the linear average of the power of 112 REs.

[0181] For example, it is assumed that N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group, and the at least one target measurement resource group is used for channel measurement, and the preset rule includes determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to the part of resource elements REs of part of target measurement resources in each target measurement resource group, and the part of target measurement resources is determined by a protocol, and specifically as shown in any one of FIG. 8 or FIG. 9 or FIG. 10, and the part of REs can be determined by a protocol, and specifically can include at least one of the following:

[0182] 1) The part of REs can be all REs in the first PRB corresponding to the part of target measurement resources. The first PRB is part of PRBs in which the part of target measurement resources are occupied, for example, PRBs at odd positions or PRBs at even positions. As shown in FIG. 11, the bandwidth of the target measurement resources is 28 PRBs, 3 REs in each PRB are occupied, the first PRB is {PRB#x, PRB#x+2, …, PRB#x+26}, i.e., PRBs at odd positions, and the terminal determines the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of all REs in the first PRB corresponding to RS#4, i.e., the linear average of the power of 42 REs.

[0183] 2) The part of REs can be the first REs in the REs in the first PRB corresponding to the part of target measurement resources. The first REs can be C REs in each PRB in the first PRB, and C is less than the number of REs occupied in one PRB corresponding to the target measurement resources. In combination with FIG. 11, as shown in FIG. 12, the first REs can be the first REs corresponding to the target measurement resources in each PRB in the first PRB corresponding to RS#4, and the terminal can determine the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of 14 REs.

[0184] 3) The part of REs can be the first REs in the REs in the second PRB corresponding to the part of target measurement resources. The second PRB is all PRBs in which the part of target measurement resources are occupied. In combination with FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, as shown in FIG. 13, the terminal determines the measurement result corresponding to the target measurement resource group based on the linear average of the power of the first REs corresponding to the target measurement resources in each PRB in the second PRB corresponding to RS#4, i.e., the linear average of the power of 24 REs.

[0185] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule comprises determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group respectively according to the result of at least part of REs corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group, the terminal can determine the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group respectively according to the linear average of the result (for example, power) of at least part of REs corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group.

[0186] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule includes determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group, and determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group as the measurement result with the best or worst result in the M1 measurement results, the terminal can determine the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group according to the linear mean of the result (for example, power) corresponding to the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in each target measurement resource group, and determine the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group as the measurement result with the best or worst result in the M1 measurement results. Wherein, M1 is the number of target measurement resources in each target measurement resource group in the at least one target measurement resource group.

[0187] As can be seen, since the specific content included in the preset rule is specified in the embodiments of the present application in the case where the N target measurement resources are associated with the at least one target measurement resource group, and the at least one target measurement resource group is all measurement resource groups for performing channel measurement, the terminal can accurately determine the rule for performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources in the case where the N target measurement resources meet the condition, so as to accurately obtain the measurement result of the first measurement on the N target measurement resources.

[0188] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the N target measurement resources are associated with the at least one target measurement resource group, and the at least one target measurement resource group is all measurement resource groups for performing channel measurement, the preset rule includes at least one of the following:

[0189] determining the measurement result corresponding to the second measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to the at least part of REs of the at least part of target measurement resources in the second measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least part of REs of the at least part of target measurement resources in the second measurement resource group;

[0190] determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group;

[0191] According to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group, a measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource is determined, and the measurement result with the best or worst result in the M2 measurement results corresponding to the M2 target measurement resources is determined as the measurement result corresponding to the second measurement resource group.

[0192] In the embodiments of the present application, the second measurement resource group is one of the at least one target measurement resource group, and M2 is the number of target measurement resources in the second measurement resource group.

[0193] In the embodiments of the present application, M2 can be a positive integer.

[0194] In the present example, the at least one target measurement resource group is associated with at least one measurement resource setting for configuring the measurement resource for channel measurement.

[0195] In the present example, the terminal can determine at least one measurement result based on the N target measurement resources. For example, when the number of resource groups corresponding to the at least one target measurement resource group is 5, the terminal can obtain 5 or 5*M2 measurement results based on the N target measurement resources.

[0196] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule includes determining the measurement result corresponding to the second measurement resource group according to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of at least part of the target measurement resources in the second measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least part of the REs of at least part of the target measurement resources in the second measurement resource group, the terminal can determine the measurement result corresponding to the second measurement resource group according to the result of dividing the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to at least part of the REs of at least part of the target measurement resources in the second measurement resource group by the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least part of the REs of at least part of the target measurement resources in the second measurement resource group.

[0197] It should be noted that the description of the at least part of the target measurement resources being part of the target measurement resources and the description of the at least part of the REs being part of the REs can refer to the specific description in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0198] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the preset rule comprises determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result corresponding to the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group, the terminal can determine the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result of dividing the result corresponding to the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group (for example, the linear mean of power) by the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group (for example, the linear mean of power).

[0199] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the preset rule comprises determining the measurement result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result corresponding to the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the second measurement resource group, and determining the measurement result corresponding to the second measurement resource group as the measurement result with the best or worst result in the M2 measurement results corresponding to the M2 target measurement resources,

[0200] As can be seen, since the specific content included in the preset rule is specified in the embodiments of the present application in the case that the N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group, and the at least one target measurement resource group is a measurement resource group for performing channel measurement, the terminal can accurately determine the rule for performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources in the case that the N target measurement resources satisfy the condition, so as to accurately obtain the measurement result of performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources.

[0201] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the N target measurement resources are associated with different target measurement resource groups, and the different target measurement resource groups comprise at least one third measurement resource group and at least one fourth measurement resource group, the preset rule comprises at least one of the following:

[0202] determining the measurement result according to the result corresponding to at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the fifth measurement resource group and the result corresponding to noise and interference on at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the sixth measurement resource group;

[0203] determining M3 measurement results according to the result corresponding to at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the fifth measurement resource group and the result corresponding to noise and interference on at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the sixth measurement resource group;

[0204] determining the result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result corresponding to at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the fifth measurement resource group and the result corresponding to noise and interference on at least part of REs of each target measurement resource in the sixth measurement resource group, and determining the measurement result as the best or worst result in the M3 results corresponding to the M3 target measurement resources.

[0205] In the embodiments of the present application, the third measurement resource group is a measurement resource group for channel measurement, the fourth measurement resource group is a measurement resource group for interference measurement, the fifth measurement resource group is one of the at least one third measurement resource group, and the sixth measurement resource group is one of the at least one fourth measurement resource group. The number of target measurement resources in the fifth measurement resource group and the sixth measurement resource group is M3.

[0206] wherein M3 can be a positive integer.

[0207] In some embodiments of the present application, the sixth measurement resource group is a resource group corresponding to the fifth measurement resource group in the at least one fourth measurement resource group.

[0208] In the present example, the terminal can determine at least one measurement result based on N target measurement resources. For example, when the number of resource groups corresponding to at least one target measurement resource group is 10, and the number of third measurement resource groups and the number of fourth measurement resource groups are both 5, the terminal can obtain 5 or 5*M2 measurement results based on N target measurement resources.

[0209] In some embodiments of the present application, when the preset rule includes determining the measurement result according to the result corresponding to at least part of REs of at least part of target measurement resources in the fifth measurement resource group and the result corresponding to noise and interference on at least part of REs of at least part of target measurement resources in the sixth measurement resource group, the terminal can determine the measurement result according to the result of dividing the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to at least part of REs of at least part of target measurement resources in the fifth measurement resource group by the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to noise and interference on at least part of REs of at least part of target measurement resources in the sixth measurement resource group.

[0210] The M3 measurement results can be measurement results corresponding to the fifth measurement resource group and the sixth measurement resource group, or measurement results corresponding to one fifth measurement resource group and one sixth measurement resource group.

[0211] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule comprises determining the M3 measurement results according to the result corresponding to the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the fifth measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the sixth measurement resource group, the terminal can determine the result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the fifth measurement resource group divided by the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the sixth measurement resource group, and determine the measurement result as the result best or worst in the M3 results corresponding to the M3 target measurement resources.

[0212] The M3 measurement results can be measurement results corresponding to the fifth measurement resource group and the sixth measurement resource group, or measurement results corresponding to one fifth measurement resource group and one sixth measurement resource group.

[0213] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule comprises determining the result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result corresponding to the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the fifth measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the sixth measurement resource group, and determining the measurement result as the result best or worst in the M3 results corresponding to the M3 target measurement resources, the terminal can determine the result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the fifth measurement resource group divided by the result (for example, the linear mean of power) corresponding to the noise and interference on the at least partial RE of each target measurement resource in the sixth measurement resource group, and determine the measurement result as the result best or worst in the M3 results corresponding to the M3 target measurement resources.

[0214] The M3 measurement results can be measurement results corresponding to the fifth measurement resource group and the sixth measurement resource group, or measurement results corresponding to one fifth measurement resource group and one sixth measurement resource group.

[0215] Therefore, the terminal can accurately determine the rule of performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources, and accurately obtain the measurement result of performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources, in the case that the N target measurement resources satisfy the condition.

[0216] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group, and each of the at least one target measurement resource group is a measurement resource group for performing channel measurement, the preset rule comprises at least one of the following:

[0217] According to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the seventh measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on all REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group, M4 measurement results are determined.

[0218] According to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the seventh measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on all REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group, M4 measurement results are determined.

[0219] According to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the seventh measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on all REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group, M4 measurement results are determined.

[0220] In the embodiments of the present application, the seventh measurement resource group is one of the at least one target measurement resource group, the eighth measurement resource group is a measurement resource group for performing interference measurement, the second measurement resource is a measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group corresponding to the seventh measurement resource group, and M4 is the number of target measurement resources in the seventh measurement resource group.

[0221] Wherein, M4 can be a positive integer.

[0222] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of resource groups corresponding to the at least one target measurement resource group is equal to the number of resource groups in the eighth measurement resource group.

[0223] In this example, the terminal can obtain at least one measurement result based on the first measurement on the N target measurement resources. For example, when the number of resource groups corresponding to the seventh measurement resource group is 5 and the number of measurement resources in the eighth measurement resource group is 5, the terminal can obtain 5 or 5*M4 measurement results based on the first measurement on the N target measurement resources.

[0224] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule includes determining the measurement result according to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of at least part of the target measurement resources in the seventh measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on all REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group, the terminal can determine the measurement result according to the result of dividing the result (e.g., the linear mean of power) corresponding to at least part of the REs of at least part of the target measurement resources in the seventh measurement resource group by the result (e.g., the linear mean of power) corresponding to the noise and interference on all REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group.

[0225] The measurement result can be the measurement result corresponding to the seventh measurement resource group and the second measurement resource, or can be the measurement result corresponding to one seventh measurement resource group and one second measurement resource.

[0226] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule includes determining M4 measurement results according to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the seventh measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on all REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group, the terminal can determine M4 measurement results according to the result of dividing the result (e.g., the linear mean of power) corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the seventh measurement resource group by the result (e.g., the linear mean of power) corresponding to the noise and interference on all REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group.

[0227] The M4 measurement results can be the measurement result corresponding to the seventh measurement resource group and the second measurement resource, or can be the measurement result corresponding to one seventh measurement resource group and one second measurement resource.

[0228] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case where the preset rule comprises determining the result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the seventh measurement resource group and the result corresponding to the noise and interference on all the REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group, and determining the measurement result as the result best or worst in the M4 results corresponding to the M4 target measurement resources, the terminal can determine the result corresponding to each target measurement resource according to the result of the result corresponding to at least part of the REs of each target measurement resource in the seventh measurement resource group divided by the result corresponding to the noise and interference on all the REs of the second measurement resource in the eighth measurement resource group, and determine the measurement result as the result best or worst in the M4 results corresponding to the M4 target measurement resources

[0229] The measurement result can be the measurement result corresponding to the seventh measurement resource group and the second measurement resource, or can be the measurement result corresponding to one seventh measurement resource group and one second measurement resource.

[0230] It can be learned that, since the specific content included in the preset rule is specified in the embodiments of the present application in the case where the N target measurement resources are associated with at least one target measurement resource group, and the at least one target measurement resource group is a measurement resource group for performing channel measurement, the terminal can accurately determine the rule for performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources in the case where the N target measurement resources satisfy the condition, so as to accurately obtain the measurement result of the first measurement on the N target measurement resources.

[0231] In some embodiments of the present application, the measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application can further comprise the following step 201.

[0232] Step 201: The terminal determines the number of CSI processing units for processing the measurement result according to the type of the first measurement.

[0233] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the execution order of step 201 and step 103. In one example, the terminal can execute step 103 first and then execute step 201; in another example, the terminal can execute step 201 first and then execute step 103; in yet another example, the terminal can execute step 201 and step 103 at the same time.

[0234] It can be understood that the number of CSI processing units for processing the measurement result in the case where the first measurement is beam measurement can be different from the number of CSI processing units for processing the measurement result in the case where the first measurement is CSI measurement.

[0235] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of CSI processing units is 1 when the first measurement is a beam measurement.

[0236] In some embodiments of the present application, the beam measurement can include at least one of the following: L1-RSRP measurement, L1-SINR measurement.

[0237] Therefore, the number of CSI processing units for processing the measurement result of the first measurement can be determined according to the type of the first measurement, so that the number of CSI processing units for processing the measurement result of the first measurement is inappropriate.

[0238] In some embodiments of the present application, after the step 103, the measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application can further include the following step 301.

[0239] Step 301, the terminal reports a measurement report to the network side device.

[0240] In the embodiments of the present application, the measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0241] At least one measurement result obtained by performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources;

[0242] At least one identification information.

[0243] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of at least one measurement result can be different according to different preset rules.

[0244] In the embodiments of the present application, the identification information includes at least one of the following: identification information of a measurement resource setting associated with a target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs, identification information of the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs, and identification information of the target measurement resource.

[0245] The identification information of the measurement resource setting associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs can be understood as a measurement resource setting associated with a target measurement resource group to which a target measurement resource corresponding to the measurement result belongs, or a measurement resource setting associated with a target measurement resource group corresponding to the measurement result; the identification information of the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs can be understood as identification information of a target measurement resource group to which a target measurement resource corresponding to the measurement result belongs, or identification information of a target measurement resource group corresponding to the measurement result; and the target measurement resource can be understood as a target measurement resource corresponding to the measurement result.

[0246] In some embodiments of the present application, the identification information of the measurement resource setting associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs can be any of the following:

[0247] The index of the measurement resource setting associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) belongs in the measurement resource setting list associated with the serving cell (for example, the measurement resource setting list in CSI-MeasConfig in ServingCellConfig contains K1 measurement resource settings, and each identification information is indicated by log2K1 bits, with a value range of 0 to K1-1);

[0248] Mapping the measurement resource setting associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) belongs in the measurement resource setting list associated with the serving cell through a bit map (for example, indicated by K1 bits, where the i-th bit is "1", indicating that the i-th measurement resource setting in the list is associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs);

[0249] The index of the measurement resource setting associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) belongs in the measurement resource setting list associated with the target report configuration information (for example, the target report configuration information is associated with K2 measurement resource settings, and each identification information is indicated by log2K2 bits, with a value range of 0 to K2-1);

[0250] Mapping the measurement resource setting associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) belongs in the measurement resource setting list associated with the target report configuration information through a bit map (for example, indicated by K2 bits, where the i-th bit is "1", indicating that the i-th target measurement configuration in the measurement resource setting list associated with the target report configuration information is associated with the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs).

[0251] In some embodiments of the present application, the identification information of the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs can be any of the following:

[0252] The index of the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) belongs in the target measurement resource group list associated with the serving cell (for example, the target measurement resource group list in CSI-MeasConfig in ServingCellConfig contains K1 target measurement resource groups, and each identification information is indicated by log2K1 bits, with a value range of 0 to K1-1);

[0253] mapping the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) belongs in the list of target measurement resource groups associated with the target measurement resource (e.g., indicated by K1 bits, where the i-th bit is "1" to indicate that the i-th target measurement resource group in the list is associated with the target measurement resource);

[0254] mapping the position of the target measurement resource group (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) in the plurality of target measurement resource groups associated with the measurement resource setting associated with the target report configuration information (e.g., K2 target measurement resource groups are associated with the measurement resource setting associated with the target report configuration information, and each identification information is indicated by log2K2 bits, with a value range of 0 to K2-1);

[0255] mapping the target measurement group corresponding to the reported measurement result in the plurality of target measurement resource groups associated with the measurement resource setting associated with the target report configuration information (e.g., indicated by K2 bits, where the i-th bit is "1" to indicate that the i-th target measurement resource group in the plurality of target measurement resource groups associated with the measurement resource setting associated with the target report configuration information is associated with the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result)).

[0256] In some embodiments of the present application, the identification information of the above-mentioned target measurement resource can be any of the following:

[0257] the index of the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) in the list of target measurement resources associated with the serving cell (e.g., the list of target measurement resources in CSI-MeasConfig in ServingCellConfig contains K1 target measurement resources, and each identification information is indicated by log2K1 bits, with a value range of 0 to K1-1);

[0258] mapping the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result in the list of target measurement resources associated with the serving cell (e.g., indicated by K1 bits, where the i-th bit is "1" to indicate that the i-th target measurement resource in the list is associated with the reported measurement result);

[0259] the position of the target measurement resource (i.e., the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result) in the plurality of target measurement resources included in the target measurement resource group associated with the target report configuration (e.g., K2 target measurement resource groups are included in the target measurement resource group associated with the target report configuration information, and each identification information is indicated by log2K2 bits, with a value range of 0 to K2-1);

[0260] The target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result in the plurality of target measurement resources included in the target measurement resource group associated with the target report configuration information is reported by bitmap mapping (for example, K2 bits are used to indicate that the i-th bit is “1” to indicate that the i-th target measurement resource in the target measurement resource group associated with the target report configuration information is associated with the reported measurement result).

[0261] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned identification information is mapped by bitmap, and the measurement result is reported in difference (that is, based on the highest measurement result, the reported bits are directly quantified according to the measurement result, and the remaining reported measurement results are quantified according to the difference between the highest measurement result), the terminal needs to report an indication information in the reported content to indicate the position of the measurement resource corresponding to the highest measurement result, the target measurement resource group, and the target measurement resource.

[0262] In some embodiments of the present application, the first number of measurement results and the second number of identification information satisfy at least one of the following:

[0263] The first number and the second number are configured by the network side device;

[0264] The first number and the second number are determined by the terminal;

[0265] The first number is equal to the second number;

[0266] The first number is greater than the second number;

[0267] The first number is an integer multiple of the second number.

[0268] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the first number and the second number are determined by the terminal, the terminal can report the first number and the second number to the network side device.

[0269] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the first number is equal to the second number, at least one measurement result and at least one identification information are one-to-one corresponding.

[0270] In some embodiments of the present application, in the case that the first number is an integer multiple of the second number, and the identification information includes the identification information of the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs, the target measurement resource group includes C RS, and the terminal reports the measurement results of all RS in the target measurement resource group, then the first number is equal to C*second number.

[0271] Therefore, the terminal can report at least one measurement result and / or at least one identifier to the network side device according to the specific content, so that the network side device can accurately know the measurement result of the first measurement.

[0272] The embodiment of the present application provides a measurement method, and the terminal can receive first signaling from the network side device, and determine N target measurement resources including tracking reference signal (TRS) resources according to the first signaling, where N is a positive integer, so that the terminal can perform first measurement on the N target measurement resources, and the first measurement includes at least one of beam measurement and CSI measurement. Since the terminal can determine the N target measurement resources including TRS resources according to the first instruction from the network side device, the terminal can perform beam measurement and / or CSI measurement on the N target measurement resources including TRS resources, instead of performing beam measurement and / or CSI measurement on SSB measurement resources and CSI-RS measurement resources. Therefore, during the measurement process, the terminal can perform time-frequency tracking and complete fine synchronization according to the N target measurement resources including TRS resources while performing the first measurement on the N target measurement resources including TRS resources, so that the terminal can directly activate certain TCI states under the instruction of the network side device, without performing time-frequency tracking and completing fine synchronization according to TRS resources again. Therefore, the time delay of activation and application of the TCI states can be reduced.

[0273] In some embodiments of the present application, after the step 103, the measurement method provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following step 401.

[0274] Step 401, the terminal performs a first operation.

[0275] In the embodiment of the present application, the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0276] caching first information determined based on the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result or the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs;

[0277] performing second measurement on the target measurement resource corresponding to the reported measurement result;

[0278] performing second measurement on all target measurement resources in at least one target measurement resource group associated with the N target measurement resources corresponding to the reported measurement result.

[0279] In the embodiments of the present application, the first information includes at least one of the following: a related parameter of a receive filter, an average delay, a delay spread, a Doppler shift, and a Doppler spread; and the second measurement includes at least one of the following: RSRP measurement, SINR measurement, and time-frequency offset measurement.

[0280] In some embodiments of the present application, the related parameter of the receive filter can include a parameter of a receive beam.

[0281] In some embodiments of the present application, the RSRP measurement can be L1-RSRP measurement, and the SINR measurement can be L1-SINR measurement.

[0282] In some embodiments of the present application, the terminal can perform the first operation in a first time period. The starting time of the first time period is the last symbol of the uplink resource for reporting the measurement report, and the ending time can be determined according to at least one of the following:

[0283] The sum of the starting time and a duration, the duration can be specified by a protocol or configured by a network side device;

[0284] The time after the MAC signaling for activating or deactivating the TCI state is applied;

[0285] The time after the signaling for activating the first member carrier or bandwidth part is applied, the first member carrier or bandwidth part is a member carrier or bandwidth part where the N target measurement resources are located;

[0286] The time after the cell switching command is applied;

[0287] The first symbol of the reporting resource for the next reporting.

[0288] Therefore, the terminal can cache the first information determined based on the target measurement resource or the target measurement resource group to which the target measurement resource belongs corresponding to the reported measurement result, and / or perform the second measurement, so that when the QCL source RS of the TCI state to be activated indicated by the network side device is the reported TRS, the terminal can directly activate the TCI state based on the cached first information and / or the synchronization information obtained by performing the second measurement, without the need to perform measurement again according to the TRS resource and complete fine synchronization. Therefore, the application delay of the TCI state is greatly reduced.

[0289] The measurement method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be performed by a measurement device. In the embodiments of the present application, the measurement device performing the measurement method is taken as an example to illustrate the measurement device provided in the embodiments of the present application.

As an example, the measurement device can be a communication device or a component in a communication device, such as a chip.

[0293] The embodiment of the present application provides a measurement device, in the case that the measurement device receives a first instruction from a network side device, the measurement device can determine N target measurement resources including TRS resources according to the first instruction, so that the measurement device can perform beam measurement and / or CSI measurement on the N target measurement resources including TRS resources, instead of performing beam measurement and / or CSI measurement on SSB measurement resources and CSI-RS measurement resources. Therefore, in the measurement process, the measurement device can perform time-frequency tracking and complete fine synchronization according to the N target measurement resources including TRS resources while performing first measurement on the N target measurement resources including TRS resources, so that in the case that the network side device instructs the measurement device to activate certain TCI states, the measurement device can directly activate the certain TCI states without again performing time-frequency tracking and completing fine synchronization according to the TRS resources. Therefore, the time delay of TCI state activation and application can be reduced.
