The network side can subsequently control the terminal to change among these candidate configurations via control signaling, such as changing the working cell (or cell group) from "cell (or cell group)-1" to "cell (or cell group)-2". This control signaling can be called "cell change control signaling". This control signaling can be transmitted through Layer 1, such as through Downlink Control Information (DCI), or through Layer 2 signaling, such as through a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE).

[0159] The above process can also be referred to as L1 / L2-triggered Mobility (LTM) process.

[0160] This control process can be configured to perform L1 measurement reporting. Based on the configuration information, the terminal performs L1-level measurements on candidate cells and reports the measurement results to the network side. For example, the measurement results can be sent to the network device through Channel State Information (CSI) reports, which can help the network device select a target cell for the terminal from multiple candidate configurations.

[0161] Optionally, network devices can configure specific measurement events for terminals. When a terminal meets a specific measurement event, it will report the measurement result to the network side. Some measurement events are listed below:

[0162] Event-1: Serving cell (or cell group) signal quality is better than the threshold.

[0163] Event-2: The signal quality of the serving cell (or cell group) is below the threshold.

[0164] Event-3: The signal quality of the neighboring cell (or cell group) is better than that of the primary cell (PCell) and / or the primary secondary cell (PSCell) by a certain value (Neighbour becomes offset better than PCell / PSCell).

[0165] Event-4: Neighbour becomes better than threshold.

[0166] Event-5: PCell / PSCell becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbour becomes better than threshold2.

[0167] Event-6: Neighbour becomes offset better than SCell.

[0168] Each measurement event is associated with at least one entering condition and / or leaving condition.

[0169] Optionally, the entering condition refers to the condition that the measurement event is activated (satisfied) and the terminal starts L1 measurement reporting.

[0170] Optionally, the leaving condition refers to the condition that the measurement event is deactivated (not satisfied) and the terminal stops L1 measurement reporting.

[0171] Optionally, if the leaving condition is configured with leaving reporting, the terminal can also start L1 measurement reporting when the leaving condition is satisfied.

[0172] When evaluating the measurement event, the terminal can determine whether to perform measurement reporting according to the entering condition and the leaving condition associated with the measurement event. For example, for "Event A3", when the duration that the cell measurement result of the terminal satisfies the "Entering Condition" of "Event A3" reaches the threshold value configured by the network, the terminal triggers measurement reporting. When the duration that the cell measurement result of the terminal satisfies the "Leaving Condition" of "Event A3" reaches the threshold value configured by the network, the terminal cancels measurement reporting (for example, removes the measurement result to be reported).

[0173] Generally, when the network device configures the terminal with a measurement reporting event based on L1 measurement results, the terminal has multiple cell-level measurement results and / or beam measurement results for the serving cell and the candidate cell (or neighbor cell), wherein the cell-level measurement results and the beam measurement results respectively include L3 measurement results and L1 measurement results. Since more measurement results can help the network device better select the target cell and the target beam for terminal handover, but more measurement results increase the reporting signaling load, how the terminal selects which measurement results to report to the network device to achieve a good balance between the measurement result reporting signaling load and the completeness of the measurement results is a problem to be solved.

[0174] The measurement result transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure first determines the measurement results allowed to be reported after the terminal triggers the measurement reporting, and then sends the measurement results allowed to be reported to the network device. Thus, the balance between the measurement result reporting signaling load and the completeness of the measurement results is ensured as much as possible, and the accuracy and reliability of cell handover are improved.

[0175] FIG. 2 is an interaction diagram of a measurement result transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the present disclosure relates to a measurement result transmission method for a terminal 101 and a network device 102, and the above method includes:

[0176] In step S2101, the network device sends measurement reporting event information and time information to the terminal.

[0177] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting event information includes a measurement reporting event and an evaluation rule associated with the measurement reporting event.

[0178] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting event information can include one measurement reporting event or multiple measurement reporting events, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0179] In some embodiments, the time information can be a time length or a time window length.

[0180] In some embodiments, the terms "time information", "time period information", "time to trigger", "trigger time", "time window", and the like can be replaced with each other in some scenarios.

[0181] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to improve the reliability of the measurement results reported by the terminal, the network device indicates the measurement reporting event information and the time information to the terminal to assist the terminal in accurately determining the measurement results allowed to be reported, so as to ensure the balance between the measurement result reporting signaling load and the completeness of the measurement results as much as possible.

[0182] In some embodiments, the time information can be used to indicate a duration that the measurement result allowed to be reported needs to satisfy. For example, the time information is a time duration a, and the terminal needs to evaluate whether the measurement result satisfies the evaluation rule associated with the measurement reporting event within a time duration a.

[0183] In some embodiments, the time information can also be used to indicate a time period for the terminal to evaluate whether the measurement result satisfies the evaluation rule. The terminal determines whether the evaluation rule associated with the entering condition (or the leaving condition) of the measurement reporting event is satisfied by evaluating whether all the measurement results within the time period indicated by the time information satisfy the evaluation rule.

[0184] In some embodiments, the time period can be a millisecond (ms), a time slot, a mini-slot, a frame, a subframe, etc., and the disclosure does not limit the time period.

[0185] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting event information can be provided to the terminal by CSI reporting configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) signaling.

[0186] In step S2102, the terminal determines the measurement reporting event and the specified time period according to the measurement reporting event information and the time information.

[0187] In some embodiments, the terminal can perform measurement on the serving cell and the neighbor cell after receiving the time information, and use the measurement result for evaluation of the measurement reporting event.

[0188] In some embodiments, the terminal can first determine the measurement time of the first measurement result that satisfies the evaluation rule associated with the measurement reporting event, and determine the measurement time as the starting time of the specified time period.

[0189] In step S2103, the network device sends indication information to the terminal.

[0190] The indication information is used to indicate the measurement result allowed to be reported to the terminal.

[0191] In some embodiments, the measurement result allowed to be reported is used to indicate the measurement content or information allowed to be sent by the terminal to the network device. The terms “measurement result allowed to be reported”, “measurement content allowed to be reported”, and “measurement data allowed to be reported” can be replaced with each other in some scenarios.

[0192] In some embodiments, the network device and the terminal can determine the measurement result allowed to be reported according to the protocol agreement. In this case, the network device does not need to send the indication information to the terminal.

[0193] In some embodiments, the measurement result allowed to be reported includes one or more of the following: a measurement result corresponding to the serving cell, a measurement result corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0194] In some embodiments, the measurement result corresponding to the serving cell comprises one or more of: a cell level measurement result of the serving cell, a beam measurement result of the serving cell.

[0195] In some embodiments, the measurement result corresponding to the candidate cell comprises one or more of: a cell level measurement result of the candidate cell, a beam measurement result of the candidate cell.

[0196] In some embodiments, the cell level measurement result can be, for example, a L3 filtered cell level measurement result.

[0197] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be, for example, a L1 beam measurement result.

[0198] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be a measurement result corresponding to a beam satisfying a measurement reporting event.

[0199] For example, if the measurement result of beam-1 satisfies the measurement reporting event, the measurement result of beam-1 can be included in the measurement result allowed to be reported.

[0200] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be a measurement result corresponding to a specified beam satisfying a measurement reporting event.

[0201] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine the specified beam(s) based on an indication of the network device or a protocol agreement.

[0202] In some embodiments, the specified beam can be a beam associated with a specified SSB identifier and / or a specified CSI-RS identifier.

[0203] In some embodiments, the terminal can determine the identifier of the specified beam according to one or more of the following: a synchronization signal block (SSB) identifier, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) identifier, according to a protocol agreement or an indication of the network device.

[0204] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be a measurement result corresponding to a beam whose measurement result exceeds a first threshold value.

[0205] In some embodiments, the first threshold value can be determined according to a protocol agreement or an indication of the network device.

[0206] For example, if the measurement result of beam-1 exceeds the first threshold value, the measurement result of beam-1 can be included in the measurement result allowed to be reported.

[0207] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be a measurement result corresponding to a beam satisfying a measurement reporting event within a specified period.

[0208] For example, in a specified period, the measurement results of beam-1 and beam-2 both satisfy the measurement reporting event, and the measurement results of beam-1 and beam-2 can be included in the measurement results allowed to be reported.

[0209] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be the measurement result of a specified beam corresponding to the measurement result satisfying the measurement reporting event in a specified period.

[0210] For example, the specified beams are beam-1 and beam-2, and in a specified period, the measurement results of beam-2 all satisfy the measurement reporting event, and it can be determined that the measurement results of beam-2 can be included in the measurement results allowed to be reported.

[0211] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be the measurement result of a specified beam corresponding to the number of measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event being greater than a first number threshold.

[0212] In some embodiments, the first number threshold can be determined according to a protocol agreement or a network device indication.

[0213] For example, the first number threshold is 4, the specified beams are beam-1 and beam-2, and if in a specified period, the number of measurement results of beam-1 satisfying the measurement reporting event is 5, it can be determined that the measurement results of beam-1 can be included in the measurement results allowed to be reported.

[0214] In some embodiments, the beam measurement result can be the measurement result of a specified beam corresponding to the number of consecutive measurement results satisfying the measurement reporting event being greater than a second number threshold.

[0215] In some embodiments, the second number threshold can be determined according to a protocol agreement or a network device indication. The second number threshold can be the same as or different from the first number threshold.

[0216] For example, the second number threshold is 3, the specified beams are beam-1 and beam-2, and if in a specified period, the number of consecutive measurement results of beam-1 satisfying the measurement reporting event is greater than 3, it can be determined that the measurement results of beam-1 can be included in the measurement results allowed to be reported.

[0217] In some embodiments, in order to avoid too many beam measurement results being reported, the number of beam measurement results included in the measurement results allowed to be reported can also be limited. For example, the number of beam measurement results included in the measurement results allowed to be reported is less than or equal to N, where N is a natural number.

[0218] In some embodiments, the N beams correspond to any one of the following: a network device indicated or a protocol agreed serving cell; a network device indicated or a protocol agreed serving cell set; a network device indicated or a protocol agreed candidate cell; a network device indicated or a protocol agreed candidate cell set; all candidate cells; all serving cells and candidate cells.

[0219] In some embodiments, the N beams correspond to any one of the following: a network device indicated or a protocol agreed serving cell; a network device indicated or a protocol agreed serving cell set; a network device indicated or a protocol agreed candidate cell; a network device indicated or a protocol agreed candidate cell set; all candidate cells; all serving cells and candidate cells.

[0220] That is, by controlling the number of reported measurement results of the network device indicated or protocol agreed serving (or candidate) cell (group) beams, the balance between measurement result reporting signaling load and measurement result completeness can be ensured, and the reporting signaling load can be further reduced.

[0221] In some embodiments, the indication information can further include an information field corresponding to each measurement result, and the value of the information field is used to indicate whether the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result.

[0222] In some embodiments, the measurement result can be a reference signal reception power (RSRP).

[0223] In some embodiments, the measurement result can also be a reference signal received quality (RSRQ).

[0224] In some embodiments, the measurement result can also be a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR).

[0225] In some embodiments, the above step S2103 can be executed synchronously with the above step S2101 (and / or S2102). Alternatively, S2103 can be executed first, and then S2101 and S2102, and the like, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0226] Step S2104, the terminal determines whether to allow reporting each measurement result according to the value of the information field corresponding to each measurement result in the indication information.

[0227] In some embodiments, the value of the information field is used to indicate whether the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result corresponding to the information field.

[0228] In some embodiments, the indication information can include a first information field corresponding to the measurement result of the serving cell and a second information field corresponding to the measurement result of the candidate cell, respectively. The network device can indicate whether the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of the serving cell and the measurement result of the candidate cell by configuring the value of the first information field and / or the second information field. For example, when the value of the information field is "1", it indicates that the corresponding measurement result is allowed to be reported, and the value of "0" indicates that the corresponding measurement result is not allowed to be reported, and the like. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0229] In some embodiments, the indication information can include a third information field corresponding to the cell-level measurement result of the serving cell, for indicating whether the cell-level measurement result of the serving cell is allowed to be reported.

[0230] In some embodiments, the indication information can include a fourth information field corresponding to the beam measurement result of the serving cell, for indicating whether the beam measurement result of the serving cell is allowed to be reported.

[0231] In some embodiments, the indication information can include a fifth information field corresponding to the cell-level measurement result of the candidate cell, for indicating whether the cell-level measurement result of the candidate cell is allowed to be reported.

[0232] In some embodiments, the indication information can include a sixth information field corresponding to the beam measurement result of the candidate cell, for indicating whether the beam measurement result of the candidate cell is allowed to be reported.

[0233] In step S2105, the terminal sends the measurement result allowed to be reported to the network device in the case of triggering measurement reporting.

[0234] In some embodiments, if the measurement result allowed to be reported is the measurement result corresponding to the beam satisfying the measurement reporting event, and the beam-1 of the serving cell-1 satisfies the measurement reporting event, the terminal can send the measurement result of the beam-1 of the serving cell-1 to the network device in the case of triggering measurement reporting.

[0235] In some embodiments, if the number of the measurement result corresponding to the beam is limited in the measurement result allowed to be reported, the terminal needs to filter all the beam measurement results allowed to be reported when sending the measurement result allowed to be reported to the network device.

[0236] In some embodiments, the terminal can send N beam measurement results with measurement result values greater than the second threshold value to the network device.

[0237] In some embodiments, the second threshold value can be determined based on the indication of the network device or the protocol agreement.

[0238] For example, if the terminal obtains M beam measurement results, where M > N, the terminal can send several beam measurement results greater than the second threshold to the network device from the M beam measurement results.

[0239] In some embodiments, if the number of beam measurement results greater than the second threshold is less than N, the terminal can send less than N beam measurement results to the network device.

[0240] In some embodiments, if the number of beam measurement results greater than the second threshold is greater than N, the terminal can randomly select N measurement results from all beam measurement results greater than the second threshold and send them to the network device.

[0241] Alternatively, if the number of beam measurement results greater than the second threshold is greater than N, the terminal can send the largest N measurement results from all beam measurement results greater than the second threshold to the network device. That is, the terminal can send N beam measurement results with the largest measurement result values greater than the second threshold to the network device.

[0242] In some embodiments, the terminal can send the measurement results of the N beams with the largest measurement result values to the network device.

[0243] For example, if the indication information indicates that the measurement results allowed to be reported are the measurement results of the specified beams (beam-1 and beam-2 of candidate cell-1) corresponding to the measurement report event in a specified period, and the measurement results allowed to be reported include the beam measurement results of 2 candidate cells. At this time, if the terminal determines that the measurement results of beam-1 and beam-3 of the candidate cell satisfy the measurement report event in the specified period, and the number of times is 5 (greater than 4), but since beam-3 is not a specified beam, the terminal can send the measurement result of beam-1 of candidate cell-1 to the network device.

[0244] In some embodiments, the terminal can further determine the actual reported measurement result according to the state of the uplink resource. For example, the terminal is allowed to report 3 measurement results, but due to the limitation of the uplink resource, the terminal can report 2 measurement results.

[0245] In some embodiments, the terminal can send the measurement results allowed to be reported to the network device by carrying the measurement result (L1 Measurement Result MAC CE) through the layer 1 MAC CE.

[0246] The measurement result transmission method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps S2101-S2105. For example, steps S2101+S2102 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S2103 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, S2104+S2105 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and the like, but are not limited thereto.

[0247] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, part or all of the steps, and optional implementation manners thereof, can be combined with part or all of the steps in other embodiments, or combined with optional implementation manners of other embodiments.

[0248] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step, and optional implementation manners thereof, can also be independently implemented.

[0249] In the present embodiment, the terminal can select part of the measurement results to report based on the indication of the network device or the protocol agreement, so as to ensure the balance between the measurement result reporting signaling load and the measurement result completeness on the basis of ensuring that the terminal can perform reliable handover, and reduce the transmission resources occupied by the reported measurement results.

[0363] FIG. 5B is an interaction diagram of a measurement result transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5B, the measurement result transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the following steps:

[0364] S5201. The network device provides an “L1 measurement reporting configuration” to the terminal side.

[0365] Optionally, the L1 measurement reporting configuration can be provided by CSI-ReportConfig as shown in FIG. 5B. The “L1 measurement reporting configuration” includes a “measurement event configuration” (e.g., Event-3 of layer L1).

[0366] S5202. The terminal performs evaluation of the measurement reporting event.

[0367] Optionally, when the terminal determines that the measurement event is satisfied, the measurement reporting is triggered. For example, according to the “evaluation time” configured by the network, when the terminal determines that the measurement result satisfies the “entry condition” within the “evaluation time”, the terminal triggers the measurement reporting.

[0368] S5203. After triggering the measurement reporting, the terminal sends the measurement result allowed to be reported.

[0369] Optionally, the terminal can send the measurement result to the network device through a layer 1 measurement result MAC CE (L1 Measurement Result MAC CE).

[0370] Optionally, the terminal can further determine the actual reported measurement result according to the status of the uplink resource. For example, the terminal is allowed to report 3 measurement results, but due to the limitation of the uplink resource, the terminal can report 2 measurement results.

[0371] Optionally, the allowed measurement content includes one or more of the following: measurement result corresponding to the serving cell (e.g., SpCell), measurement result corresponding to the candidate cell, e.g., candidate configuration of LTM corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0373] Optionally, the type of the "beam measurement result of the serving cell" includes one or more of the following:

[0374] Type 1: measurement result corresponding to the serving beam that satisfies the measurement reporting event. For example, measurement result corresponding to the serving beam that satisfies the "entry condition" of the measurement reporting event. When the network side configures "reportOnLeave", the measurement result corresponding to the serving beam that satisfies the "exit condition" is also the measurement result that satisfies the measurement reporting event.

[0375] Type 2: measurement result corresponding to the serving beam that satisfies the measurement reporting event within the "evaluation time". For example, within the "evaluation time", the terminal has multiple serving beams that satisfy the "entry condition" of the measurement reporting event, among which the measurement result of the serving beam-1 satisfies the "entry condition", and the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of the serving beam-1.

[0376] Type 3: measurement result corresponding to the specific serving beam that satisfies the measurement reporting event within the "evaluation time", and the measurement result of the specific serving beam is allowed to be reported. For example, within the "evaluation time", the terminal has multiple serving beams that satisfy the "entry condition", among which the measurement result of the serving beam-1 always satisfies the "entry condition", and the serving beam-1 is the specific serving beam, and the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of the serving beam-1.

[0377] Type 4: In the evaluation time, the measurement result corresponding to the specific serving beam meets the measurement reporting event x times, and the measurement result of the specific serving beam is allowed to be reported. Wherein, the value of x is configured by the network or agreed by the protocol. For example, the network configuration allows the beam whose measurement result is allowed to be reported to meet the "entry condition" x times in the "evaluation time". Then, in the "evaluation time", the terminal has multiple serving beams that meet the "entry condition", among which the measurement result of serving beam-1 meets the "entry condition" x times, and serving beam-1 is the specific serving beam. Then, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of serving beam-1.

[0378] Type 5: In the evaluation time, the measurement result corresponding to the specific serving beam meets the measurement reporting event x times, and is continuous x times, and the measurement result of the specific serving beam is allowed to be reported. Wherein, the value of x is configured by the network or agreed by the protocol. For example, the network configuration allows the serving beam whose measurement result is allowed to be reported to meet the "entry condition" x times continuously in the "evaluation time". Then, in the "evaluation time", the terminal has multiple serving beams that meet the "entry condition", among which the measurement result of serving beam-1 meets the "entry condition" x times continuously, and serving beam-1 is the specific serving beam. Then, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of serving beam-1.

[0379] Type 6: The measurement result corresponding to the serving beam whose measurement result is greater than the first threshold value. For example, the network configuration allows the measurement result of the serving beam whose measurement result is allowed to be reported to be greater than the first threshold value. Then, when the measurement result of serving beam-1 is greater than the first threshold value, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of serving beam-1.

For example, the measurement result corresponding to the candidate beam that meets the "entry condition" of the measurement reporting event.

[0383] Type 2: In the evaluation time, the measurement result of the candidate beam pair corresponding to the over-measurement reporting event is satisfied. For example, in the evaluation time, the terminal has multiple candidate beams satisfying the "entry condition" of the measurement reporting event, and the measurement result of candidate beam-1 satisfies the "entry condition". Then, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of candidate beam-1.

[0384] Type 3: In the evaluation time, the measurement result of a specific candidate beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event is satisfied, and the measurement result of the specific candidate beam is allowed to be reported. For example, in the evaluation time, the terminal has multiple candidate beams satisfying the "entry condition", and the measurement result of candidate beam-1 always satisfies the "entry condition". If candidate beam-1 is a specific candidate beam, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of candidate beam-1.

[0385] Type 4: In the evaluation time, the measurement result of a specific candidate beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event is satisfied x times, and the measurement result of the specific candidate beam is allowed to be reported. The value of x is network configuration or protocol agreement. For example, the network configuration allows the candidate beam to report the measurement result, which needs to satisfy the "entry condition" x times in the evaluation time. In the evaluation time, the terminal has multiple candidate beams satisfying the "entry condition", and the measurement result of candidate beam-1 satisfies the "entry condition" x times. If candidate beam-1 is a specific candidate beam, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of candidate beam-1.

[0386] Type 5: In the evaluation time, the measurement result of a specific candidate beam corresponding to the measurement reporting event is satisfied x times, and is continuous x times, and the measurement result of the specific candidate beam is allowed to be reported. The value of x is network configuration or protocol agreement. For example, the network configuration allows the candidate beam to report the measurement result, which needs to satisfy the "entry condition" x times continuously in the evaluation time. In the evaluation time, the terminal has multiple candidate beams satisfying the "entry condition", and the measurement result of candidate beam-1 satisfies the "entry condition" x times continuously. If candidate beam-1 is a specific candidate beam, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of candidate beam-1.

[0387] Type 6: The measurement result of the candidate beam corresponding to the measurement result greater than the first threshold value. For example, the network configuration allows the candidate beam to report the measurement result, which needs to be greater than the first threshold value. When the measurement result of candidate beam-1 is greater than the first threshold value, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement result of candidate beam-1.

[0388] Optionally, for the above-mentioned "beam measurement result", the number of reported beam measurement results can be limited to not more than N, where N can be an integer value greater than or equal to 1 configured by the network or agreed by the protocol.

[0389] Optionally, the type of the maximum N "beam measurement results" can be defined as any of the following: N "beam measurement results" whose measurement results exceed a threshold value; N "beam measurement results" with the best measurement results (e.g., N with the largest RSRP values); N "beam measurement results" whose measurement results exceed a threshold value and N "beam measurement results" with the best measurement results.

[0390] Optionally, when the number of reported "beam measurement results" is limited to no more than N, the type of the N cells corresponding to the "beam measurement results" can be any of the following:

[0398] Optionally, the measurement results corresponding to the service cell, and / or the cell-level measurement results of the service cell, and / or the beam measurement results of the service cell can be configured by the network to determine whether to allow reporting. For example, if the network configures to allow reporting of the measurement results corresponding to the service cell, the terminal can report the cell-level measurement results of the service cell and the beam measurement results of the service cell. Alternatively, if the network configures to allow reporting of the cell-level measurement results of the service cell, the terminal can report the cell-level measurement results of the service cell.
