Description

Event evaluation method and device, and readable storage medium

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application No. 202411374620.1, filed on September 29, 2024, and entitled "Event evaluation method and device, and readable storage medium", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and more particularly, to an event evaluation method, device and readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0003] Generally, a common network is a single point transmit / receive (English: Transmit / Receive Point, for short: TRP), in which case the terminal (terminal, such as user equipment (English: User Equipment, for short: UE)) has only one activated transmission configuration indicator (English: Transmission Configuration Indicator, for short: TCI) for data reception or transmission for physical downlink control channel (English: Physical Downlink Control Channel, for short: PDCCH) / physical downlink shared channel (English: Physical Downlink Shared Channel, for short: PDSCH) / physical uplink shared channel (English: Physical Uplink Shared Channel, for short: PUSCH) and the like.

[0004] When the network configures the UE with multiple point transmit / receive (English: multiple Transmit / Receive Point, for short: mTRP), the UE's PDCCH / PDSCH / PUSCH and the like can have more than one activated TCI for data reception or transmission.

[0005] However, when the UE's serving cell is configured with mTRP, the network can specify that the UE activates multiple TCIs at the same time, in which case, when the UE performs event evaluation (such as L1 measurement reporting event evaluation), and when the serving cell beam needs to participate in event evaluation, the UE cannot effectively perform event evaluation. SUMMARY

[0148] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term “and / or” describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean that there are three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. The character “ / ” generally represents an “or” relationship between the associated objects before and after it.

[0149] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term “a plurality of” means two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0150] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0151] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an event evaluation method and apparatus. A network device provides configuration information to a terminal, so that in a scenario where a serving cell is configured with multiple TRPs (the serving cell activates multiple TCI at the same time, for example, multiple TCI can be used for downlink PDSCH reception), the terminal performs event evaluation based on the associated beams of one TRP or multiple TRPs.

[0152] The method and the device are based on the same application concept, and the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other since the principles of the method and the device for solving problems are similar, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0153] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. In addition, the step sequence in each method embodiment described below is only an example, not a strict limitation.

[0154] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an event evaluation method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The execution subject of the event evaluation method provided by the embodiment is a terminal, for example, a UE, and the event evaluation method will be described in detail below.

[0155] The event evaluation method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0156] Step 101, when the terminal is activated with multiple transmission configuration indication (TCI) states, a first beam is determined, the first beam is any of the following: a beam associated with one of the multiple activated TCI states, beams associated with all of the multiple activated TCI states, or beams associated with at least one of the multiple activated TCI states.

[0157] Step 102, event evaluation is performed according to the first beam.

[0158] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when a terminal is activated with multiple TCI states in a cell (for example, any one serving cell or a special cell SpCell (Special Cell) of a cell group, for example, a special cell PCell (Primary Cell) of a master cell group (MCG, Master Cell Group) or a special cell PSCell (Primary SCG Cell) of a secondary cell group (SCG, Secondary Cell Group), which is not specifically limited here), a possible scenario is that the cell is configured with multiple TRPs, and the network configures the terminal to activate multiple TCI states of the cell. In a possible implementation, multiple TCI states can be used for downlink data reception, for example, PDSCH or PDCCH, CSI-RS, and the like. Optionally, multiple TCI states can be used for uplink data transmission, for example, PUSCH data or PUCCH, SRS, and the like, which is not limited. At least one of the following is determined as a first beam: a beam associated with one of the activated TCI states, beams associated with all of the activated TCI states, or beams associated with at least one of the activated TCI states, and an event is evaluated according to the first beam. In this way, when the terminal is activated with more than one TCI state, the terminal can perform event evaluation based on a beam associated with one TRP or multiple TRPs.

[0159] In one implementation form, the beam associated with the activated TCI state is a reference signal in the TCI state configuration, or a reference signal of a specified type in the TCI state. For example, in one possible implementation form, the specified type is a specified QCL (Quasi co-location) type, e.g., a QCL associated reference signal with QCL type being typeA or typeD in the TCI state configuration, where typeA and typeD are examples and are not limited thereto. In another possible implementation form, the specified type is a specified reference signal type, e.g., the specified reference signal type is SSB, and a reference signal (e.g., RS0) associated with a QCL configuration in the TCI state configuration is not SSB (where the QCL can be a specified QCL type such as typeA or typeD or any QCL configuration), then it is further determined whether a reference signal (e.g., RS1) associated with the TCI state of the reference signal (e.g., RS0) is SSB. If yes, the SSB (RS1) is determined to be the target reference signal. Otherwise, it is further iterated to determine the reference signal type of the reference signal (RS1) associated with the TCI, until the reference signal type is SSB, and the SSB is the target reference signal. SSB is an example and is not limited thereto. The reference signal types mentioned above, such as Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), are not limited thereto.

[0160] When the serving cell is configured with mTRP, i.e., the UE is configured with multiple activated TCIs of the serving cell, it means that there are more than one activated TCI for the UE. The activated TCI can be regarded as an activated TCI state, and the following description is not repeated.

[0161] Specifically, when the UE is activated with more than one TCI (state), the UE performs event evaluation according to one of the following:

[0162] determining a beam associated with one of the activated TCIs (states) to perform event evaluation

[0163] determining all beams associated with the activated TCIs (states) to perform event evaluation

[0164] determining at least one beam associated with the activated TCIs (states) to perform event evaluation.

[0165] The performing event evaluation can be performed on the basis of the measurement result of the beam and the associated event. The measurement result can be an L1 measurement result, such as L1-RSRP, L1-RSRQ, L1-SINR, etc., or an L3 measurement result of the beam, such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc. Whether it is (L1-)RSRP, (L1-)RSRQ, or (L1-)SINR can be indicated by network configuration or protocol.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first beam is a beam associated with one of the plurality of active TCI states; and the determining the first beam comprises at least one of:

[0167] selecting, as the first beam, a beam with the best signal quality among the beams associated with the plurality of active TCI states;

[0168] receiving first indication information sent by the network device, the first indication information being used to indicate one of the plurality of active TCI states, and selecting, as the first beam, a beam associated with the one of the plurality of active TCI states indicated by the first indication information;

[0169] selecting, as the first beam, a beam with the worst signal quality among the beams associated with the plurality of active TCI states;

[0170] determining, as the first beam, a beam with the best signal quality among the beams associated with the plurality of active TCI states or a beam with the worst signal quality among the beams associated with the plurality of active TCI states according to the event to be evaluated;

[0171] selecting, as the first beam, a beam associated with a first TCI state, the first TCI state being one of the plurality of active TCI states determined by the network device or protocol;

[0172] selecting, as the first beam, a beam associated with a second TCI state, the second TCI state being a TCI state used for receiving system information or a paging message among the plurality of active TCI states;

[0173] receiving second indication information sent by the network device, and determining the first beam according to the second indication information, the second indication information being used to indicate the first beam when a specified event evaluation is performed.

[0174] The network device can be an access network device, a core network device, or the like, such as a base station. No specific limitation is made herein.

[0175] Optionally, one activated TCI state is associated with one beam. For example, when the first beam is the beam associated with one of the activated TCI states, the first beam is one beam, and one possible implementation is that the first beam is one reference signal.

[0176] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first beam can be the beam with the best signal quality among the beams associated with the activated TCI states. Generally, there is only one beam with the best signal quality. If there are beams with the best signal quality, a UE can select one beam from the beams with the best signal quality, and then perform event evaluation according to the selected beam.

[0177] The first beam can be the beam with the worst signal quality among the beams associated with the activated TCI states. Generally, there is only one beam with the worst signal quality. If there are beams with the worst signal quality, a UE can select one beam from the beams with the worst signal quality, and then perform event evaluation according to the selected beam.

[0178] The first beam can be one of the multiple activated TCI states indicated by the first indication information sent by the network device; wherein the one activated TCI state indicated by the first indication information can be a specific TCI value, for example, a specific TCI state ID of 1. It can also be mapped to a certain activated TCI state among the multiple activated TCI states according to a certain rule (for example, the first indication information indicates the first TCI or the second TCI, wherein the first TCI or the second TCI can be indicated by network signaling, for example, indicated by a medium access control control element (Medium Access Control Control Element, MAC CE) as described in the following example, or mapped by a protocol specified default rule, for example, the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#0 is the first TCI, which will not be described here again. Therefore, the specific value of the one activated TCI state indicated by the first indication information can change with the change of the activated TCI. For example, the first indication information indicates the first TCI among the multiple activated TCI states, wherein the mapping relationship between the first TCI and the second TCI of the multiple activated TCI states and the activated TCI can be mapped based on network signaling configuration or a certain default rule, which is not limited here. Therefore, the specific TCI value of the first TCI can change with the change of the specific value of the multiple activated TCI. Optionally, the first indication information can be configured by radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling or MAC CE, and optionally, the configuration is static configuration or semi-static configuration. Optionally, once configured, all event evaluations requiring the participation of the first beam are determined based on the configuration. The first indication information can also be indicated by the DCI signaling of the physical layer, and optionally, it is dynamically configured, for example, the DCI carrying the first indication information of the activated TCI. Optionally, once configured, all event evaluations requiring the participation of the first beam are determined based on the configuration. The first beam is determined based on the first indication information carried by the current DCI before the next DCI carrying the first indication information is indicated. The first indication information can also indicate whether the TCI is used for event evaluation by the first beam when the TCI state is configured. One first indication information can be configured for each TCI or one first indication information can be configured for each group of TCIs. When the TCI is activated, it is determined whether the TCI is used as the first beam based on the first indication information. Optionally, when the TCI is activated, all event evaluations requiring the participation of the first beam are determined based on the configuration.

[0179] The first beam can be a beam with the best signal quality among the beams associated with the multiple activated TCI states or a beam with the worst signal quality among the beams associated with the multiple activated TCI states, which is determined based on different events. For example, when the evaluation event type 1 is evaluated, the first beam is the beam with the best signal quality among the beams associated with the multiple activated TCI states, and when the evaluation event type 2 is evaluated, the first beam is the beam with the worst signal quality among the beams associated with the multiple activated TCI states. The beam with the best signal quality can be determined in a manner similar to the manner of determining the first beam described above, and the beam with the worst signal quality can be determined in a manner similar to the manner of determining the first beam described above, which will not be described herein again.

[0180] The first beam can be a beam associated with a first TCI state, which is one of the multiple activated TCI states determined by network indication or protocol specification. The network indication can be network indication by MAC CE or physical layer signaling DCI. In one possible scenario, the network indication is network indication by network command in an SDCI (Single DCI) scenario, for example, one or more activated TCI states are indicated by MAC CE, and which TCI is the first TCI is indicated by signaling in the process of indicating the activated TCI. Of course, the indication is not limited to MAC CE, and is not limited to indicating which TCI is the first TCI when the activated TCI is indicated. The indication can also be performed by, for example, RRC signaling when the TCI is configured, to indicate whether the TCI is the first TCI, or by DCI to indicate whether the TCI is the first TCI. Or the protocol specification determines that one of the multiple activated TCI states is the first TCI. Here, the protocol specification determines that one of the multiple activated TCI states is the first TCI, which means that the TCI that meets the specified condition is the first TCI. In one possible scenario, in an MDCI (Mulitple DCI) scenario, the protocol specification determines that the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#0 is the first TCI (for example, the TCI used to receive PDCCH associated with coresetpoolindex#0 and / or PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH associated with coresetpoolindex#0 in the activated TCI), wherein coresetpoolindex#0 is associated with a group of PDCCH configurations.

[0181] The first beam can be a TCI state associated beam for receiving system information or paging message. That is, different activated TCI states are used for different channels or data reception, wherein the TCI for receiving system information (which can be SIB1 or any system information optionally) or paging message, here the reception of system information or paging message can refer to the reception of a channel carrying the scheduling message of the system information or paging message, for example, PDCCH, or can be the reception of PDSCH carrying the system information or paging message, and is not limited separately.

[0182] The first beam can be determined based on second indication information sent by the network device, for example, the first beam can be one of the activated TCI states indicated by the second indication information for performing specified event evaluation; wherein the activated TCI state indicated by the second indication information can be a specific TCI value (for example, the second indication information can be a specific TCI value such as TCI state ID 1, and the specific first beam is the beam corresponding to the TCI value TCI state ID 1), or an index of a TCI, that is, indicating a certain TCI in the plurality of activated TCIs (for example, the second indication information indicates the first TCI or the second TCI, wherein the first TCI or the second TCI can be indicated by network signaling, for example, as described in the foregoing example, indicated by MAC CE, or mapped by a protocol specified preset rule, for example, the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#0 is the first TCI, which will not be described here. The specific first beam is the beam associated with the first activated TCI corresponding to the first TCI). The specific specified event evaluation can be realized by configuring a second indication information for each event or a group of events (that is, when the UE evaluates the event (regardless of the associated measurement object), the first beam is determined according to the second indication information configured for the event), or each measurement target (wherein a measurement target is associated with a measurement event and a measurement object) or a group of measurement targets (that is, only when the UE evaluates the measurement target, that is, evaluates the measurement event associated with the measurement target and the associated measurement object, the first beam is determined according to the configured second indication information), or each measurement object or a group of measurement objects (that is, when the UE evaluates the measurement object (regardless of the associated measurement event, as long as the measurement event requires the first beam to participate in event evaluation), the first beam is determined according to the second indication information configured for the measurement object), wherein the measurement object can be a measurement reference signal or a group of measurement reference signals, which is not limited here, and the measurement reference signal can belong to the same frequency point or the same cell or different frequency points or different cells, which is not limited. One possible implementation of the second indication information is to configure it through RRC signaling.

[0183] The beam participating in the evaluation is taken as the first beam.

[0184] For example, referring to FIG. 2, which is an interaction diagram one of the event evaluation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the scenario that the terminal is activated with multiple TCI states, the steps of the event evaluation method include:

[0185] Step 201, the network device sends first indication information to the terminal; wherein the first indication information is used to indicate one of the multiple activated TCI states.

[0186] Step 202, the terminal determines the first beam according to the first indication information, and performs event evaluation according to the first beam; wherein the first beam is the beam associated with one of the multiple activated TCI states.

[0187] For example, referring to FIG. 3, which is an interaction diagram two of the event evaluation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the scenario that the terminal is activated with multiple TCI states, the steps of the event evaluation method include:

[0188] Step 301, the network device sends second indication information to the terminal; wherein the second indication information is used to indicate the first beam when performing specified event evaluation.

[0189] Step 302, the terminal determines the first beam according to the second indication information, and performs event evaluation according to the first beam; wherein the first beam is the beam associated with one of the multiple activated TCI states.

[0190] The second indication information is configured by the network device for at least one of the following:

[0191] The reference signal or the set of reference signals of each candidate cell;

[0192] Each event;

[0193] A group of events;

[0194] A group of measurement reference signals.

[0195] Optionally, determining the first beam according to the second indication information can include:

[0196] According to the second indication information, determining the beam of the serving cell participating in the evaluation of the reference signal of the corresponding candidate cell;

[0197] Taking the beam of the serving cell participating in the evaluation as the first beam.

[0198] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, there are multiple ways to determine the first beam as the beam associated with one of the multiple activated TCI states, which realizes multiple possibilities of beams capable of event evaluation, and further achieves the purpose of effectively performing event evaluation by the terminal in the scenario where multiple TCI states are activated in one cell.

[0199] In some embodiments, the first beam is a beam associated with at least one of the multiple activated TCI states; and the determining of the first beam comprises at least one of the following:

[0200] determining a first quantity of the first beams, and selecting the first quantity of activated TCI states from the multiple activated TCI states, and regarding the beams associated with the selected first quantity of activated TCI states as the first beams;

[0201] receiving third indication information sent by the network device, the third indication information being used to indicate a second quantity of activated TCI states from the multiple activated TCI states, and regarding the beams associated with the second quantity of activated TCI states indicated by the third indication information as the first beams;

[0202] selecting a third quantity of activated TCI states from the multiple activated TCI states according to a first predefined rule, and regarding the beams associated with the selected third quantity of activated TCI states as the first beams;

[0203] determining a fourth quantity of beams with the best signal quality from the beams associated with the multiple activated TCI states as the first beams, or determining a fifth quantity of beams with the worst signal quality from the beams associated with the multiple activated TCI states as the first beams according to the event to be evaluated;

[0204] receiving fourth indication information sent by the network device, and determining the first beams according to the fourth indication information; wherein the fourth indication information is used to indicate the first beams when a specified event evaluation is performed.

[0205] Optionally, the quantity of beams indicated by the fourth indication information can be a seventh quantity.

[0206] Optionally, one activated TCI state is associated with one beam. For example, when the first beam is a beam associated with at least one of the multiple activated TCI states, the first beam can be at least one beam, and one possible implementation is that the first beam is at least one reference signal.

[0207] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first quantity of activated TCI states in the plurality of activated TCI states are the first beams, and beams associated with the selected first quantity of activated TCI states are selected as the first beams. For example, the first quantity is n, the first quantity of activated TCI states are the first TCI, the second TCI,..., and the nth TCI. The mapping relationship between the first TCI, the second TCI,..., and the nth TCI and the plurality of activated TCI states can be obtained through signaling configuration, for example, specified by a MAC CE, or obtained through a protocol specified mapping rule, for example, the activated TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#0 is the first TCI, the activated TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#1 is the second TCI, and so on.

[0208] The first beam can be a second number of active TCI states in the multiple active TCI states indicated by the third indication information sent by the network device; wherein the second number of active TCI states indicated by the third indication information can be a specific second number of TCI values, for example, specific TCI state IDs are 1, 3, 4, etc. It can also be the index of the second number of TCIs, that is, each index indicates a certain TCI in the multiple active TCIs, wherein an index is mapped to an active TCI state in the multiple active TCI states according to a certain rule (for example, the third indication information indicates the first TCI and the second TCI, wherein the first TCI and the second TCI can be indicated by network signaling, for example, indicated by the MAC CE as described in the foregoing examples, or mapped by a protocol specified preset rule, for example, the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#0 is the first TCI, and the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#1 is the second TCI, which will not be described here. Therefore, the specific value of the second number of active TCI states indicated by the third indication information can change with the change of the active TCI. For example, the third indication information indicates the first TCI and the second TCI in the multiple active TCI states, wherein the mapping relationship between the first TCI and the second TCI in the multiple active TCI states and the active TCI can be mapped based on network signaling configuration or a certain preset rule, which is not limited here. Therefore, the specific TCI value of the first TCI and / or the second TCI can change with the change of the specific value of the multiple active TCIs. Optionally, the third indication information can be configured by RRC signaling or MAC CE, and optionally, the configuration is static configuration or semi-static configuration. Optionally, once configured, all event evaluations requiring the participation of the first beam are determined based on the configuration. The third indication information can also be indicated by DCI signaling, which is optionally dynamically configured, for example, the DCI carrying the third indication information activates the TCI. Optionally, once configured, all event evaluations requiring the participation of the first beam are determined based on the configuration. The first beam is determined based on the third indication information carried by the current DCI before the next DCI carrying the third indication information is indicated by the DCI.The third indication information can also indicate whether the TCI is used for the first beam to perform event evaluation when the TCI state is configured, and can be indicated when each TCI or each group of TCIs is configured. When the TCI is activated, it is determined based on the third indication information whether the TCI is used as the first beam. Optionally, when the TCI is activated, all event evaluations that need the first beam to participate are determined based on the configuration to determine the first beam. Optionally, the network implementation ensures that at least one TCI indicated for event evaluation of the first beam is included in the activated multiple TCIs.

[0209] The first beam can be selected from the third number of activated TCI states associated with the beams according to a first predefined rule, and the beams associated with the selected third number of activated TCI states are selected as the first beam. The first definition rule can be the third number of beams with the best signal quality in the multiple activated TCI states associated with the beams. Optionally, if there are beams with the best signal quality, one or more beams can be selected from the beams with the best signal quality based on the UE, and then the selected beams are used for event evaluation. The first definition rule can also be the third number of beams with the worst signal quality in the multiple activated TCI states associated with the beams. Optionally, if there are beams with the worst signal quality, one or more beams can be selected from the beams with the worst signal quality based on the UE, and then the selected beams are used for event evaluation. The first definition rule can also be the eighth number of beams with the best signal quality and the ninth number of beams with the best signal quality in the multiple activated TCI states associated with the beams, and the sum of the eighth number and the ninth number is equal to the third number, and then the selected beams are used for event evaluation. Optionally, the first definition rule can also be applied to all event evaluations that need the first beam to participate in evaluation. Or different events apply different first rules, or the first definition rule used is determined based on network configuration.

[0210] The first beam can be determined according to the event to be evaluated, and the fourth number of beams with the best signal quality in the multiple activated TCI states associated with the beams are used as the first beam, or the fifth number of beams with the worst signal quality in the multiple activated TCI states associated with the beams are used as the first beam. For example, when evaluating event type 1, the first beam is the fourth number of beams with the best signal quality in the multiple activated TCI states associated with the beams, and when evaluating event type 2, the fifth number of beams with the worst signal quality in the multiple activated TCI states associated with the beams are used as the first beam.

[0211] The first beam can be determined based on fourth indication information sent by the network device, for example, the first beam can be at least one activated TCI state in the multiple activated TCI states indicated by the fourth indication information when performing specified event evaluation; wherein the at least one activated TCI state indicated by the fourth indication information can be a specific TCI value (for example, the fourth indication information can be a specific TCI value such as TCI state ID 1, TCI state ID 2, and the specific first beam is the beam corresponding to the TCI values TCI state ID 1 and TCI state ID 2), or the index of at least one TCI, that is, each index indicates a certain TCI in the multiple activated TCIs (for example, the fourth indication information indicates the first TCI and the second TCI, wherein the first TCI and the second TCI can be indicated by network signaling, for example, as described in the foregoing example, indicated by MAC CE, or mapped by a protocol specified preset rule, for example, the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#0 is the first TCI, and the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex#1 is the second TCI, which will not be described here. The specific first beam is the beam associated with the activated TCI corresponding to the first TCI and the second TCI). The specific specified event evaluation can be implemented by configuring a fourth indication information for each event or a group of events (that is, when the UE evaluates the event (that is, regardless of the associated measurement object), the first beam is determined according to the fourth indication information configured for the event), or configuring a fourth indication information for each measurement target (wherein a measurement target is associated with a measurement event and a measurement object) or a group of measurement targets (that is, only when the UE evaluates the measurement target, that is, evaluates the measurement event associated with the measurement object and the associated measurement object, the first beam is determined according to the configured fourth indication information), or configuring a fourth indication information for each measurement object or a group of measurement objects (that is, when the UE evaluates the measurement object (that is, regardless of the associated measurement event, as long as the measurement event requires the first beam to participate in event evaluation), the first beam is determined according to the fourth indication information configured for the measurement object), wherein the measurement object can be a measurement reference signal or a group of measurement reference signals, which are not limited here, and the measurement reference signal can belong to the same frequency point or the same cell or different frequency points or different cells, which are not limited. One possible implementation of the fourth indication information is to be configured by RRC signaling.

[0212] The first quantity, the second quantity, the third quantity, the fourth quantity, the fifth quantity, the seventh quantity, the eighth quantity, and the ninth quantity can be the same or different from each other, and are not specifically limited here. Any one of the first quantity, the second quantity, the third quantity, the fourth quantity, the fifth quantity, the seventh quantity, the eighth quantity, and the ninth quantity can be provided to the UE through network signaling configuration, or the specific value can be specified by a protocol, or obtained based on a preset rule. For example, if the number of TCI activated by one serving cell is n, the value is n / 2, and the rounding up or rounding down is not limited. Here, only this rule is taken as an example, and the specific implementation rule is not limited. Optionally, the fourth indication information is configured by the network device for at least one of the following:

[0213] The reference signal or the reference signal set of each candidate cell;

[0214] Each event;

[0215] A group of events;

[0216] A group of measurement reference signals.

[0217] Optionally, according to the fourth indication information, the first beam can be determined, which can include:

[0218] According to the fourth indication information, the beam of the serving cell participating in the evaluation of the reference signal of the corresponding candidate cell is determined;

[0219] The beam of the serving cell participating in the evaluation is taken as the first beam.

[0220] The fourth indication information can indicate at least one activated TCI state or an index of at least one activated TCI state.

[0221] Specifically, the beam associated with at least one activated TCI is determined to perform event evaluation, including at least one of the following:

[0222] The network device configures the number of beams participating in the evaluation or n specified by a protocol, and n beams associated with activated TCI (for example, the first n TCI, the first TCI, the second TCI, …, and the nth TCI);

[0223] The network device specifies n activated TCIs through signaling, and specifies the beams associated with the TCIs as the beams participating in the evaluation (for example, the first TCI or the second TCI or the third TCI is indicated by RRC or MAC CE, which belongs to static or semi-static configuration) (wherein the first, second, third, etc. can be determined according to a certain principle, for example, the MAC CE activates the first, second, third, or for example, the first TCI or the second TCI is determined by encoding different corsetpoolindex, for example, the TCI associated with corsetpoolindex0 is the first TCI, and the TCI associated with corsetpoolindex1 is the second TCI).

[0224] According to the specified principle, select n TCIs (for example, the best n or the worst n, etc. according to the signal quality ranking, or the best n / 2 and the worst n / 2, etc.).

[0225] According to different events, select the best n or the worst n beams in the beams associated with all activated TCIs as the beams participating in the evaluation;

[0226] The network device configures the associated TCI (for example, the first TCI and the second TCI and the third TCI) or one or more TCI indexes of the serving cell when performing event evaluation for each candidate cell, each event, or a group of events and a group of measurement reference signals (uniquely determine an event and a group of measurement reference signals). According to the configuration, determine the beams of the serving cell participating in the evaluation when evaluating the reference signal of the candidate cell.

[0227] For example, refer to FIG. 4, which is an interaction diagram three of the event evaluation method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure. In the scenario where the terminal is activated in multiple TCI states, the steps of the event evaluation method include:

[0228] Step 401, the network device sends third indication information to the terminal; wherein the third indication information is used to indicate at least one activated TCI state in the multiple activated TCI states.

[0229] Step 402, the terminal determines a first beam according to the third indication information, and performs event evaluation according to the first beam; wherein the first beam is a beam associated with at least one activated TCI state in the multiple activated TCI states.

[0230] For example, refer to FIG. 5, which is an interaction diagram four of the event evaluation method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure. In the scenario where the terminal is activated in multiple TCI states, the steps of the event evaluation method include:

[0231] In step 501, the network device sends fourth indication information to the terminal; wherein the fourth indication information is used to indicate a first beam when performing specified event evaluation.

[0232] In step 502, the terminal determines the first beam according to the fourth indication information, and performs event evaluation according to the first beam; wherein the first beam is a beam associated with at least one activated TCI state in the plurality of activated TCI states.

[0233] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, there are multiple ways to determine the first beam as a beam associated with at least one activated TCI state in the plurality of activated TCI states, which realizes multiple possibilities of beams that can perform event evaluation, and thus achieves the purpose of effectively performing event evaluation by the terminal in the scenario where multiple TCI states are activated in one cell.

[0234] In some embodiments, the first beam includes a beam associated with one activated TCI state in the plurality of activated TCI states, and the performing event evaluation according to the first beam further includes:

[0235] performing the event evaluation on the beam in the first beam for each event evaluation;

[0236] performing a first operation when a trigger condition is met.

[0237] Specifically, one of the beams associated with the activated TCI is determined, and event evaluation is performed, the UE performs event evaluation based on the determined beam, and when it is determined that the trigger condition is met, a related execution is triggered once, for example, a first operation is performed. Wherein performing event evaluation based on the determined beam can be performing event evaluation based on the measurement result of the determined first beam.

[0238] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after determining the beam associated with one activated TCI state in the plurality of activated TCI states and performing event evaluation, the terminal performs the event evaluation on the beam for each event evaluation, and when it is determined that the trigger condition is met, the execution of the first operation is triggered once, wherein each event evaluation can be performed for each corresponding measurement result, the trigger condition can be the result after multiple event evaluations, and one possible implementation of meeting the trigger condition is that multiple measurement results within a duration are evaluated, and each evaluation meets the event condition, and it is considered that the trigger condition is met. Or, in the evaluation of the preset n measurement results or the preset time, m measurement results meet the event condition, and it is considered that the trigger condition is met. The specific way of meeting the trigger condition is not limited to this, n and m are integers greater than 0, wherein m is less than or equal to n, n and m can be network configuration or protocol specification without limitation, etc. When performing event evaluation, the execution of the first operation can also be realized.

[0239] In some embodiments, the first operation is at least one of the following:

[0240] measurement result reporting;

[0241] cell change execution;

[0242] TA acquisition procedure;

[0243] UE assistance information reporting.

[0244] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first operation performed by the terminal can be one or more of the following operations: triggering measurement result reporting (e.g., triggering L1 measurement result reporting), triggering cell change execution (e.g., triggering cell switching or PSCell change procedure), triggering TA acquisition procedure (e.g., triggering UE-based TA acquisition, or UE triggering requesting network side to trigger TA acquisition procedure), UE assistance information reporting (e.g., reporting target beam and / or target cell, the target beam and / or target cell being a possible beam and cell for cell change or TA acquisition, or target TCI (e.g., TCI state ID), or TRP identification (e.g., first TCI), etc.), etc., which realizes the diversification of service scenarios.

[0245] In some embodiments, the first beam is a beam associated with all activated TCI states in the plurality of activated TCI states, or a beam associated with at least one activated TCI state in the plurality of activated TCI states, and the event evaluation according to the first beam further includes at least one of the following:

[0246] performing the following operation on each beam in the first beam respectively: for each event evaluation, performing the event evaluation on the beam, and when the trigger condition is met, performing the first operation;

[0247] for each event evaluation, performing the event evaluation on each beam in the first beam, and when any beam in the first beam meets the event, determining that this time event evaluation meets the condition, and when the trigger condition is met, performing the first operation;

[0248] for each event evaluation, performing the event evaluation on each beam in the first beam, and when each beam in the first beam meets the event, determining that this time event evaluation meets the condition, and when the trigger condition is met, performing the first operation;

[0249] for each event evaluation, performing the evaluation on the best beam or the worst beam in the first beam, and when the trigger condition is met, performing the first operation;

[0250] According to the second predefined rule, the measurement results of the beams in the first beams are calculated to obtain first measurement results, the first measurement results are evaluated for each event evaluation, and when a trigger condition is met, a first operation is performed.

[0251] The second predefined rule is, for example, a linear rule: the measurement results of the at least one first beam are linearly calculated to obtain measurement results for evaluation. The corresponding calculation of the measurement results of the beams in the first beams can be an average calculation, which is not specifically limited here.

[0252] Specifically, all activated TCI associated beams are evaluated for events or at least one activated TCI associated beam is determined to be evaluated for events, specifically including at least one of the following:

[0253] Each of the determined participating evaluation beams is evaluated for events respectively, and when the participating evaluation beam meets the event, it is considered that this event evaluation of the beam meets an event. When the participating evaluation beam meets a trigger condition (for example, each evaluation meets the event within a predetermined time), a related execution (for example, a first operation, which will not be described below) is triggered.

[0254] In the event evaluation, as long as one of the determined participating evaluation beams meets the event, it is considered that the event meets, and when the trigger condition is determined to be met (for example, the event of each evaluation within a predetermined time is met), a related execution is triggered;

[0255] In the event evaluation, all beams of the determined participating evaluation beams all meet the event, and it is considered that the event meets, and when the trigger condition is determined to be met (for example, the event of each evaluation within a predetermined time is met), a related execution is triggered;

[0256] In the event evaluation, the best or worst beam of the determined participating evaluation beams meets the event, and it is considered that the event meets, and when the trigger condition is determined to be met (for example, the event of each evaluation within a predetermined time is met), a related execution is triggered (the best and the worst can be determined based on the event, or can be a fixed evaluation best or worst without distinguishing the event).

[0257] In the event evaluation, the linearly averaged measurement results of the determined evaluation beams are obtained based on the specified linear rule, and when the trigger condition is determined to be met (for example, the event of each evaluation within a predetermined time is met), a related execution is triggered.

[0258] Specifically, the event evaluation based on the determined one beam can be the event evaluation based on the measurement results of the determined first beam.

[0259] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after determining the beam associated with at least one of the plurality of activated TCI states or the beams associated with all of the activated TCI states and performing event evaluation, the terminal triggers the execution of the first operation once for each event evaluation when it is determined that the trigger condition is met. For each event evaluation, the execution of the first operation is triggered once when it is determined that the trigger condition is met. Each event evaluation can be an evaluation for each corresponding measurement result, and the trigger condition can be a result of multiple event evaluations. One possible implementation of the trigger condition is that multiple measurement results within a certain time period are evaluated, and each evaluation meets the event condition, and then the trigger condition is considered to be met. Alternatively, n preset measurement results or a preset time period are evaluated, and m of the measurement results meet the event condition, and then the trigger condition is considered to be met. n and m are integers greater than 0, and m is less than or equal to n. n and m can be configured by the network or specified by a protocol without limitation. The specific way of meeting the trigger condition is not limited to this. The first operation is implemented when the event evaluation is performed.

[0260] In some embodiments, the first operation is at least one of the following:

[0261] measurement result reporting;

[0262] cell change execution;

[0263] TA acquisition process;

[0264] UE assistance information reporting.

[0265] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first operation performed by the terminal can be one or more of the following operations: triggering measurement result reporting (for example, triggering L1 measurement result reporting), triggering cell change execution (for example, triggering cell switching or PSCell change process), triggering TA acquisition process (for example, triggering UE-based TA acquisition or UE triggering request information to request the network side to trigger the TA acquisition process), and UE assistance information reporting (for example, reporting target beams and / or target cells, the target beams and / or target cells being possible beams and cells for cell change or TA acquisition, or target TCI (for example, TCI state ID), or TRP identifier (for example, first TCI), etc.), thereby achieving the diversification of business scenarios.

[0266] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0267] generating a measurement report;

[0268] The measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0269] measurement results of beams associated with all activated TCI states in the plurality of activated TCI states;

[0270] measurement results of the first beam;

[0271] measurement results of the sixth number of beams with the best signal quality;

[0272] measurement results obtained by performing logical calculation on the measurement results of the first beam.

[0273] The sixth number can be 1 or a preset value greater than 1, which can be configured by a network or specified by a protocol or obtained according to the preset rule as described above, and is not limited in particular. The logical calculation here, for example, linear calculation, is not limited in particular.

[0274] Specifically, the UE triggers a measurement report after confirming that the triggering condition is met, and the measurement report contains at least one of the following:

[0275] measurement results of beams associated with all activated TCI (i.e., corresponding to all TRPs)

[0276] measurement results of beams associated with the activated TCI (TRP, for example, the first TRP) participating in the evaluation

[0277] measurement results of beams of a serving cell reported based on network device configuration (for example, the network device configuration reports measurement results of beams associated with all activated TCI, or reports measurement results of beams associated with a certain activated TCI, or reports measurement results of beams associated with several activated TCI, or reports measurement results of the best n or worst n activated TCI)

[0278] measurement results of n beams specified by a protocol or a preset rule (for example, reporting measurement results of the best n beams associated with the activated TCI)

[0279] reporting measurement results after linear averaging.

[0280] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can also generate a measurement report, wherein the measurement results contained in the measurement report can be diversified, achieving diversified generation of measurement reports, and further enabling the network device to provide diversified measurement reports, so that the network device can accurately analyze and provide a basis for subsequent behavior.

[0281] In some embodiments, the first beam is a beam of a serving cell of the terminal for event evaluation or a beam of a serving special cell (SpCell) of the terminal.

[0282] Specifically, the beam participating in the event evaluation is the beam of the serving cell for the event evaluation; or the beam participating in the event evaluation is the beam of the special serving cell SpCell. Optionally, the event for the event evaluation needs to evaluate the beam of the serving cell.

[0283] The event evaluation method is described in detail below by way of exemplary embodiments.

[0284] The following embodiments take the PCell as an example, but the implementation process is not limited to the PCell, and can be the PSCell, a secondary cell (English: Secondary Cell, abbreviated as: SCell), etc. Moreover, the candidate cell and the serving cell can be the same central unit (English: Central Unit, abbreviated as: CU) or base station, or can be different CUs or base stations, which are also not limited here.

[0285] The service cell configured mTRP for UE to perform event evaluation is taken as an example of 2TRP, but the number of TRPs is not limited to 2, and can be an integer greater than 2. When the number of TRPs is n, the maximum number of simultaneously activated TCIs can be n, and n is greater than or equal to 2. The unified TCI architecture is taken as an example (i.e., the same TCI is used for uplink channels and downlink channels, and different physical channels are not distinguished), but the non-unified TCI architecture scenario is not limited. If it is a non-unified TCI architecture scenario, the TCI involved below can be a TCI activated for a specified channel such as PDCCH / PDSCH / PUSCH / Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a TCI activated for a channel used for a specified purpose, for example, a PDCCH used for receiving scheduling information of system information, System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1), and paging (i.e., a PDCCH associated with coreset#0). In the embodiments below, measurement or reporting based on the first activated TCI is involved. The specific implementation means that the TCI activated on a certain TRP is updated to a new TCI associated beam for evaluation when the activated TCI changes, but the TRP associated with the first activated TCI is fixed. The event evaluation based on a certain TCI associated beam can be based on the measurement result of the beam. The measurement result of the beam can be L1 measurement result or L3 measurement result, and the measurement result quantity such as (L1-)RSRP and (L1-)RSRQ can be based on network configuration or protocol specification. The measurement result of the beam can be the measurement result of the reference signal associated with the beam. In the embodiments below, TCI index x has the same meaning as the TCI state ID x mentioned above, and both represent the identification information of a TCI state configuration, which can uniquely determine a TCI state configuration.

[0286] The embodiments below take the beam of the serving cell for event evaluation as an example, but are not limited thereto.

[0287] Example 1: Scenario

[0288] Step 1: UE current serving cell is PCell0, network (here refers to network device, hereinafter referred to as network) configures measurement reference signal of candidate cell / neighbor cell for UE to perform measurement, for example, reference signal (English: Reference Signal, for short: RS) RS10, RS11, RS13 of PCell1, measurement reference signal of PCell2, for example, RS20, RS21. Wherein the candidate cell is the candidate cell for L1 / L2 triggered mobility (English: L1 / L2 Triggered Mobility, for short: LTM), which is not limited here. Wherein the measurement reference signal can be SSB or CSI-RS, which is not limited here.

[0289] Step 2: the network configures the evaluation event for the UE, which is used to trigger L1 measurement reporting, or for conditional LTM, to trigger the UE to perform conditional LTM cell change process, or to trigger TA advance acquisition process (such as requesting the network side to trigger TA advance acquisition process or the UE to trigger TA advance acquisition process) and the like, which is not limited here. Taking triggering measurement reporting as an example:

[0290] For example, the network configures the following events for the UE:

[0291] Event LTM2: the beam of the serving cell is lower than the absolute threshold;

[0292] Event LTM3: the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset;

[0293] Event LTM5: the beam of the serving cell is lower than the absolute threshold 1, and the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the decision threshold 2.

[0294] Wherein the above events can be associated with candidate cell / neighbor cell, or reference signal or reference signal set of candidate cell / neighbor cell, and the UE performs event evaluation based on the configured events and associated measurement reference signals.

[0295] For example, LTMmeasID1{Event LTM2, LTMMO1}, LTMmeasID2{Event LTM3, LTMMO2}, LTMmeasID3{Event LTM5, LTMMO3}

[0296] Wherein LTMmeasIDx{Event LTMy, LTMMOz} indicates that the measurement reference signal associated in LTMMOz is evaluated according to Event LTMy. One implementation of LTMMOz contains one or more measurement reference signals of candidate cell / neighbor cell, wherein the reference signal can be the same cell or different cell, which is not limited here.

[0297] Step 3: The network configures mTRP for UE's PCell0, for example, two TRPs, the specific implementation is that the network can activate up to two TCI for UE for downlink data reception (such as PDCCH / PDSCH / CSI-RS reception or measurement, etc.), up to two TCI for uplink data transmission (such as PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS transmission, etc.).

[0298] When the network activates at least two TCI for UE, for example, for downlink data reception, UE performs event evaluation according to the following embodiments. For example, the TCI index associated with the first TCI is x, and the TCI index associated with the second TCI is y.

[0299] Wherein the first TCI or the second TCI is determined by at least one of the following ways

[0300] Specified by signaling, for example, specified by MAC CE. Or specified by DCI or RRC signaling.

[0301] Mapping according to certain rules, for example, in the mDCI scenario, the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex0 is the first TCI, the TCI associated with coresetpoolindex1 is the second TCI, and so on, wherein coresetpoolindex is associated with the configuration of one or more channels, for example, PDCCH, and one channel is uniquely associated with one coresetpoolindex, for example, one PDCCH is associated with one coresetpoolindex.

[0302] Exemplary, embodiment 1: UE determines the beam of a unique TRP (one activated TCI association) as the beam of the serving cell for event evaluation.

[0303] Embodiment 1-1: way of determining a unique TRP.

[0304] Way 1: The principle of selecting the beam of a unique TRP as the beam of the serving cell.

[0305] For example, embodiment 0, UE's PCell0 activates TCI index x and TCI index y at this time.

[0306] Specifically implemented in one or more of the following ways:

[0307] Manner 1-1: The beam associated with a certain TCI specified by the protocol as the beam of the serving cell for event evaluation, for example, the protocol specifies the associated beam of the first TCI, for example, in the case of example 0, when the TCI index associated with the first TCI is x and the TCI index associated with the second TCI is y, the UE performs event evaluation according to the beam associated with the TCI index x (for example: the L1 measurement result of the reference signal of the TCI index x performs event evaluation) where x can change according to the change of the activated TCI.

[0308] Manner 1-2: The beam associated with the TCI applied to the PDCCH (for example, coreset0) carrying the scheduling information of the system information or SIB1 or paging message as the beam of the serving cell for event evaluation, for example, the UE receives the PDCCH scheduling of coreset0 through TCI index x, then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beam associated with the TCI index x.

[0309] Manner 1-3: The beam with the worst signal quality among all activated TCI associated beams as the beam participating in the evaluation, this rule can be protocol specified or network configured, for example, based on the measurement results obtained after measuring TCI index x and TCI index y, the signal quality of TCI index x is worse, then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beam associated with the TCI index x, with the change of time, the signal quality of TCI index y becomes worse than TCI index x, then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beam associated with the TCI index y. That is, each evaluation may be based on the comparison of beams on different TRPs.

[0310] Manner 1-4: The beam with the best signal quality among all activated TCI associated beams as the beam participating in the evaluation, this rule can be protocol specified or network configured, for example, based on the measurement results obtained after measuring TCI index x and TCI index y, the signal quality of TCI index x is better, then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beam associated with the TCI index x, with the change of time, the signal quality of TCI index y becomes better than TCI index x, then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beam associated with the TCI index y. That is, each evaluation may be based on the comparison of beams on different TRPs.

[0311] Manner 1-5: According to different events, select the beam with the best or worst signal quality among all the beams associated with the activated TCI as the beam participating in the evaluation. This rule can be specified by the protocol or configured by the network, for example, the signal quality of TCI index x is better than that of TCI index y, and the beam with the best signal quality is selected for evaluation, i.e., the beam based on TCI index x is evaluated. Event LTM3 (the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset) selects the beam with the worst signal quality for evaluation, i.e., the beam based on TCI index y is evaluated, and vice versa. Similarities are not repeated here.

[0312] Manner 2: The network configures a unique TRP beam as the beam of the serving cell.

[0313] Specifically implemented according to one or more of the following manners:

[0314] Manner 2-1: Semi-static manner

[0315] Step 1: The currently activated first TCI is TCI index x, and the second activated TCI is TCI index y.

[0316] Step 2: The network configures the beam based on the specified TRP of the serving cell for event evaluation through signaling, for example, the network configures the first TCI for evaluation. The signaling manner can be RRC or MAC CE. Taking MAC CE as an example, the MAC CE carries indication information for indicating the UE to perform evaluation based on the first TCI. Optionally, the MAC CE can additionally indicate the activated TCI. For example, the indication information indicates that all the TCIs activated in the MAC CE perform event evaluation based on the first TCI.

[0317] Step 3: The UE receives the command sent by the network side, and performs event evaluation based on the beam associated with TCI index x as the beam of the serving cell.

[0318] Step 4: The network sends a MAC CE carrying indication information for indicating the UE to perform evaluation based on the second TCI.

[0319] Step 5: After receiving the command sent by the network, the UE performs event evaluation based on the beam associated with TCI index y as the beam of the serving cell.

[0320] Manner 2-2: Dynamic manner

[0321] Manner 2-2-1: DCI decision

[0322] Step 1: Current active first TCI is TCI Index x, second active TCI is TCI Index y,

[0323] Step 2: Network indicates UE to evaluate based on first TCI by sending DCI carrying indication information in DCI. Optionally, the DCI is used to inform UE the activated TCI, for example, informing UE the TCI index used by first TCI and / or the TCI index used by second TCI.

[0324] Step 3: UE determines the associated beam of TCI index x as the beam of serving cell for event evaluation according to the indication.

[0325] Method 2-2-2: RRC signaling decision

[0326] Step 1: Network configures TCI state for UE by RRC signaling, wherein the TCI state configuration carries indication information for indicating whether the TCI state is used for event evaluation, for example, configuring TCI index n for event evaluation and TCI index m not for event evaluation.

[0327] Step 2: Network indicates UE to activate TCI index n (for example, first TCI) and TCI index m (for example, second TCI) by signaling.

[0328] Step 3: UE receives network signaling confirming activation of TCI index n and TCI index m, and determines the associated beam of TCI index n as the beam of serving cell for event evaluation.

[0329] Optionally, the network ensures that only one of the multiple activated TCIs contains indication information in the configuration, and the appearance of the indication information indicates that the TCI state is used for event evaluation or the indication information contained in the configuration of only one TCI indicates that the TCI state is used for event evaluation. Optionally, if multiple TCIs are activated by the network and multiple TCIs are indicated to be used for event evaluation, the network determines a unique TCI for event evaluation by a preset rule, for example, selects the TCI with the best signal quality for event evaluation, or additionally indicates the TCI for event evaluation based on network configuration. This is not limited here

[0330] Method 2-2-3: MAC CE decision

[0331] Step 1: Network configures TCI state for UE by RRC signaling.

[0332] Step 2: The network sends a MAC CE to inform the UE of the TCI corresponding to one or more codepoints, where each codepoint corresponds to one or two TCIs (taking 2 TRPs as an example), and an additional MAC CE indicates the TCI that can be used for event evaluation in each codepoint, for example, 3 groups of TCIs are configured by the MAC CE, corresponding to codepoints 00, 01, and 10 in the DCI, respectively, where each codepoint is associated with one or two TCIs, and the MAC CE additionally indicates which TCI in each codepoint can be used for event evaluation, for example, the first TCI in the TCI corresponding to 00 is used for event evaluation, and the second TCI in the TCI corresponding to 01 is used for event evaluation.

[0333] Step 3: The network sends a DCI to indicate the TCI activated by the UE, taking codepoint 0 in the DCI as an example, then according to the indication information of the MAC CE, the corresponding first TCI is used for event evaluation,

[0334] Step 4: After the UE receives the DCI signaling sent by the network, it determines the first TCI for event evaluation according to the indication. The UE associates the beam of the first TCI as the beam of the serving cell for event evaluation.

[0335] Method 2-3: Static method

[0336] LTMmeasIDx{Event LTMy, LTMMOz}

[0337] Step 1: The network configures the measurement reporting configuration of the candidate cell / neighbor cell for the UE, where at least one of the following methods is used for configuration:

[0338] Method 2-3-1: Configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for each measurement reference signal or measurement reference signal set.

[0339] Method 2-3-2: Configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for each measurement event, for example, configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for Event LTMy.

[0340] Method 2-3-3: Configure an associated serving cell beam indication information for each group of measurement time and measurement reference signal, for example, configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for LTMmeasIDx.

[0341] Where the associated serving cell beam indication information can be TRP indication information such as the first TCI, and the UE performs event evaluation based on the beam associated with the first TCI as the serving cell beam when evaluating the corresponding event, the corresponding measurement reference signal, or a group of events and measurement reference signals.

[0342] The associated serving cell beam indication information can be a specific TCI state index, such as indicating associated TCI state index 0. Then, when the UE evaluates the corresponding event, the corresponding measurement reference signal, or a set of events and measurement reference signals, it uses the beam associated with TCI state index 0 as the serving cell beam for event evaluation.

[0343] Step 2: When evaluating the corresponding measurement reference signal, event, or set of reference signals and events, the UE performs event evaluation based on the beam associated with the specified TCI.

[0344] Examples 1-2: Evaluation based on a single TRP.

[0345] Step 1: The UE determines the serving cell beam for event assessment according to Example 1-1.

[0346] Step 2: Within the TTT (preset time, network configuration, or protocol-defined time), if the UE continuously satisfies the evaluation event, taking Event LTM3 (the candidate cell's beam is higher than the serving cell's beam by a certain offset) as an example, if the candidate cell's beam is always higher than the serving cell's beam by a certain offset in each measurement evaluation within the TTT time, the UE considers the triggering condition met and executes the related event-related behavior. The following is an example, but not limited to:

[0347] Triggering L1 (Layer 1) measurement reporting process

[0348] Triggering conditions LTM execution process

[0349] Triggering the TA early acquisition process (e.g., the UE executes the TA early acquisition process, or the UE triggers a request process, requesting the network to trigger the TA early acquisition process).

[0350] In embodiment 1-1, during the TTT (Time To Time), the UE performs evaluation based on the beam on a fixed TRP (Transmission Position Representation), for example, continuously evaluating based on the beam associated with the first TCI (Transmission Control Index). Alternatively, the evaluation may be performed based on the beam on a different TRP during the TTT, for example, evaluating based on the high-quality beam among the active beams. Therefore, the TRP of the evaluated beam may change as the channel quality changes. This is not a limitation.

[0351] For example, in embodiment 2: the UE determines the beams of multiple TRPs as the beams of the serving cell for event assessment.

[0352] Example 2-1: Method for determining multiple TRPs

[0353] The specific number of TRPs used for evaluation can be determined by network configuration or protocol specifications or preset rules, and is not limited here.

[0354] Manner 1: Specify the beams of multiple TRPs associated with TCI as the beams of the serving cell

[0355] Take Example 0 as an example, take three TRPs as an example, and the UE activates TCI index x and TCI index y and TCI index z, which correspond to the first TCI, the second TCI and the third TCI respectively.

[0356] Specifically implemented in one or more of the following manners:

[0357] Manner 1-1: Specify the beams associated with the TCI of the n TRPs as the beams of the serving cell for event evaluation, for example, the first n TRPs, and take n as 2 as an example. The UE performs event evaluation according to the beams associated with the first TCI and the second TCI.

[0358] Manner 1-2: The n beams with the worst signal quality among all the beams associated with the activated TCI are used as the beams participating in the evaluation. This rule can be specified by the protocol or configured by the network, and n is taken as 2 as an example. For example, after measuring based on TCI index x, TCI index y and TCI index z, the signal quality of TCI index x and TCI index y is poor, and then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beams associated with TCI index x and TCI index y. With the change of time, the signal quality of TCI index z becomes worse than that of TCI index x, and then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beams associated with TCI index y and TCI index z. That is, each evaluation may be based on the comparison of beams on different TRPs.

[0359] Manner 1-3: The n beams with the best signal quality among all the beams associated with the activated TCI are used as the beams participating in the evaluation. This rule can be specified by the protocol or configured by the network, and n is taken as 2 as an example. For example, after measuring based on TCI index x, TCI index y and TCI index z, the signal quality of TCI index x and TCI index y is good, and then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beams associated with TCI index x and TCI index y. With the change of time, the signal quality of TCI index z becomes better than that of TCI index x, and then the UE performs event evaluation according to the beams associated with TCI index y and TCI index z. That is, each evaluation may be based on the comparison of beams on different TRPs.

[0360] Manner 1-4: The best n / 2 beams and the worst n / 2 beams in all activated TCI associated beams are selected as the beams participating in the evaluation, and this rule can be protocol specified or network configured. For example, n is 2, and the measurement results are compared based on TCI index x, TCI index y, and TCI index z after measurement. TCI index x has the best signal quality and TCI index y has the worst signal quality. The UE performs event evaluation according to the beams associated with TCI index x and TCI index y. As time changes, the signal quality of TCI index z becomes better than that of TCI index x. The UE performs event evaluation according to the beams associated with TCI index y and TCI index z. That is, each time the evaluation can be based on the comparison of beams on different TRPs.

[0361] Manner 1-5: According to different events, the best n beams or the worst n beams in all activated TCI associated beams are selected as the beams participating in the evaluation, or the best n / 2 beams and the worst n / 2 beams are selected as the beams participating in the evaluation. This rule can be protocol specified or network configured. For example, n is 2, and TCI index x > TCI index y > TCI index z. Event LTM2 (the beam of the serving cell is lower than the absolute threshold) is evaluated, the best n beams are selected for evaluation, that is, the beams based on TCI index x and TCI index y are evaluated. Event LTM3 (the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset) is evaluated, the worst n beams are selected for evaluation, that is, the beams based on TCI index y and TCI index z are evaluated. Conversely, the same applies, and details are not repeated here.

[0362] Manner 2: The network configures a unique TRP beam as the beam of the serving cell.

[0363] The following one or more manners are specifically implemented:

[0364] Manner 2-1: Semi-static manner

[0365] Step 1: The first activated TCI is TCI Index x, the second activated TCI is TCI Index y, and the third activated TCI is TCI Index z

[0366] Step 2: The network configures the UE to perform event evaluation based on beams on the serving cell on the specified TRPs through signaling, for example, the network configures the UE to perform evaluation based on the first TCI and the second TCI, and the signaling can be RRC or MAC CE. Taking the MAC CE as an example, the MAC CE carries indication information for indicating the UE to perform evaluation based on the first TCI and the second TCI. Optionally, the MAC CE can additionally indicate the activated TCI. For example, the indication information indicates that the UE performs event evaluation based on the first TCI and the second TCI among all the activated TCIs in the MAC CE.

[0367] Step 3: The UE receives the command sent by the network side, and performs event evaluation on the beams associated with the TCI index x and the beams associated with the TCI index y as the beams of the serving cell.

[0368] Step 3: The network sends a MAC CE carrying indication information for indicating the UE to perform evaluation based on the third TCI

[0369] Step 4: After receiving the command sent by the network, the UE performs event evaluation on the beams associated with the TCI index z as the beams of the serving cell.

[0370] Method 2-2: Dynamic method

[0371] Method 2-2-1: DCI decision

[0372] Step 1: The first activated TCI is TCI Index x, the second activated TCI is TCI Index y, and the third activated TCI is TCI Index z.

[0373] Step 2: The network sends a DCI carrying indication information in the DCI for indicating the UE to perform evaluation based on the first TCI and the second TCI. Optionally, the DCI is used to notify the UE of the activated TCI, for example, to notify the UE of the TCI index used by the first TCI and / or the TCI index used by the second TCI and / or the third activated TCI is TCI Index z.

[0374] Step 3: The UE determines the beams associated with the TCI index x and the TCI index y as the beams of the serving cell for event evaluation according to the indication.

[0375] Method 2-2-2: RRC signaling decision

[0376] Step 1: The network configures TCI states for the UE through RRC signaling, wherein the indication information is carried in the TCI state configuration to indicate whether the TCI state is used for event evaluation, for example, TCI index n is configured for event evaluation, TCI index m is not used for event evaluation, and TCI index f is used for event evaluation.

[0377] Step 2: The network signals the UE to activate TCI index n (for example, the first TCI) and TCI index m (for example, the second TCI) and TCI index f (for example, the third TCI).

[0378] Optionally, the network implementation ensures that at least one of the multiple TCI states activated contains indication information in the configuration, which indicates that the TCI state is used for event evaluation, or at least one of the configurations contains indication information indicating that the TCI state is used for event evaluation.

[0379] Step 3: The UE receives the network signaling to activate TCI index n, TCI index m and TCI index f, and determines the associated beams of TCI index n and TCI index f as the beams of the serving cell for event evaluation.

[0380] Method 2-2-3: MAC CE decision

[0381] Step 1: The network configures TCI states for the UE through RRC signaling.

[0382] Step 2: The network sends a MAC CE to inform the UE of the TCI corresponding to one or more codepoints, wherein each codepoint corresponds to at most three TCIs (for example, 3 TRPs), and an additional MAC CE indicates the TCI that can be used for event evaluation in the TCI associated with each codepoint, for example, 3 groups of TCIs are configured through a MAC CE, corresponding to codepoints 00, 01, and 10 in the DCI, wherein each codepoint is associated with at most three TCIs, and the MAC CE additionally indicates which TCI in each codepoint can be used for event evaluation, for example, the first TCI and the second TCI in the TCI corresponding to 00 are used for event evaluation, and the third TCI in the TCI corresponding to 01 is used for event evaluation.

[0383] Step 3: The network sends a DCI to indicate the TCI activated by the UE, for example, the codepoint indicated in the DCI is 0, then according to the indication information of the MAC CE, the first TCI and the second TCI corresponding to the codepoint are used for event evaluation.

[0384] Step 4: After receiving the DCI signaling sent by the network, the UE determines the first TCI for event evaluation according to the indication. The UE takes the beams associated with the first TCI and the second TCI as the beams of the serving cell for event evaluation.

[0385] Method 2-3: Static method

[0386] LTMmeasIDx{Event LTMy, LTMMOz}

[0387] Step 1: The network configures the measurement reporting configuration of the candidate cell / neighbor cell for the UE, wherein at least one of the following methods is configured:

[0388] Method 2-3-1: Configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for each measurement reference signal or measurement reference signal set.

[0389] Method 2-3-2: Configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for each measurement event, for example, configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for Event LTMy.

[0390] Method 2-3-3: Configure one associated serving cell beam indication information for each group of measurement time and measurement reference signal, for example, configure the associated serving cell beam indication information for LTMmeasIDx.

[0391] The associated serving cell beam indication information can be TRP indication information (more than or equal to 1 TRP indication information can be configured), for example, the first TCI and the second TCI, and the UE takes the beams associated with the first TCI and the second TCI as the serving cell beams for event evaluation when evaluating the corresponding event, the corresponding measurement reference signal, or a group of events and measurement reference signals.

[0392] The associated serving cell beam indication information can be a specific TCI state index (more than or equal to 1 TCI state index can be configured), for example, indicating the associated TCI state index 0 and TCI state index 1, and the UE takes the beams associated with the TCI state index 0 and the TCI state index 1 as the serving cell beams for event evaluation when evaluating the corresponding event, the corresponding measurement reference signal, or a group of events and measurement reference signals.

[0393] Step 2: The UE takes one or more beams associated with the specified TCI for event evaluation when evaluating the corresponding measurement reference signal, event, or group of reference signals and events.

[0394] Embodiment 2-2: Evaluation based on more than one TRP.

[0395] The scheme of evaluation based on all TRPs is the same as the scheme of evaluation based on n TRPs, so it is unified into this embodiment.

[0396] Step 1: The UE determines the n beams of the serving cell for event evaluation according to Embodiment 2-1, or evaluates based on the n beams associated with all activated TCIs of the serving cell. Here, taking n = 2 as an example, taking the first TCI and the second TCI as an example.

[0397] There are one or more of the following ways for Step 2:

[0398] Way 1: (evaluate separately)

[0399] Step 2: The UE evaluates the first TCI and the second TCI separately, and when the n TCI (n = 1 or 2) evaluation event continues to meet within the TTT (preset time, network configuration or protocol specification) time, taking Event LTM3 (the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset) as an example, the total beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam associated with the n TCI of the serving cell by a certain offset within the TTT time, then the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the event. The UE can trigger the behavior associated with the event for the first TCI and the second TCI respectively.

[0400] Way 2: (as long as one of them meets, it is considered to meet)

[0401] Step 2: The UE evaluates the first TCI and the second TCI in one evaluation, as long as the beam associated with one of the TRPs meets the event, it is considered that this evaluation meets the event, and when the evaluation event continues to meet within the TTT (preset time, network configuration or protocol specification) time, taking Event LTM3 (the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset) as an example, the total beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam associated with the serving cell by a certain offset within the TTT time, then the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the event, wherein the TRP that meets the event in multiple evaluations within the TTT time may be different, and at least one beam associated with the TRP meets the event.

[0402] Way 3: (all meet to meet)

[0403] Step 2: UE evaluates the first TCI and the second TCI in one evaluation, only the beam associated with two TRPs meets the event, then this evaluation is considered to meet the event, when the event continues to meet in each evaluation within the TTT (preset time, network configuration or protocol specification) time, the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the relevant event, for example, Event LTM3 (the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset), the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the associated beam of the serving cell by a certain offset within the TTT time, and the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the relevant event, wherein the beam of each evaluation within the TTT time meets the event.

[0404] Method 4: (the worst beam or the best beam meets and is considered to meet)

[0405] Step 2: UE evaluates the best beam or the worst beam in the first TCI and the second TCI in one evaluation, and the beam meets the event, then this evaluation is considered to meet the event, when the event continues to meet in each evaluation within the TTT (preset time, network configuration or protocol specification) time, the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the relevant event, for example, Event LTM3 (the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset), the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the associated best beam or worst beam of the serving cell by a certain offset within the TTT time, and the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the relevant event, wherein the TRP associated with the beam of each evaluation within the TTT time may be different. Wherein the best or worst beam may be different based on different events, or the UE may be indicated by the protocol.

[0406] Method 5: (n beams linearly averaged and meet and are considered to meet)

[0407] Step 2: UE obtains the measurement result of the evaluation based on the specified rule based on the first TCI and the second TCI in one evaluation, and the rule can be obtained based on the filter parameter provided by the network and / or the filter parameter provided by the network. The measurement result meets the event, then this evaluation is considered to meet the event, when the event continues to meet in each evaluation within the TTT (preset time, network configuration or protocol specification) time, the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the relevant event, for example, Event LTM3 (the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the beam of the serving cell by a certain offset), the beam of the candidate cell is higher than the linearly averaged measurement result of the serving cell by a certain offset within the TTT time, and the UE considers that the trigger condition is met, and then performs the behavior associated with the relevant event.

[0408] Wherein the relevant event associated behavior is performed, for example, but not limited to:

[0409] Triggering an L1 measurement reporting process;

[0410] Trigger condition LTM execution process

[0411] Trigger TA advance acquisition process (for example, UE executes TA advance acquisition process, or UE triggers request process, requests network to trigger TA advance acquisition process).

[0412] Among them, according to embodiment 1-1, the UE evaluates according to the beam on the fixed TRP within the TTT time, for example, continuously evaluates according to the first TCI associated beam, or it is also possible to evaluate according to the beam on different TRP within the TTT time, for example, based on the good beam evaluation in the activated beam, The beam evaluated may change with the change of channel quality. Not limited here.

[0413] Example, embodiment 3: measurement reporting

[0414] Take 3TRP as an example, first TCI, second TCI, third TCI.

[0415] Step 1: based on embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, the UE determines that the trigger condition is met, triggers measurement reporting, and the UE includes the measurement results of the serving cell in the measurement reporting. Taking L1 measurement result as an example, the UE includes the measurement results of the serving cell as follows at least one:

[0416] The measurement results of the beams associated with all activated TCIs (all TRPs), that is, the measurement results of the first TCI, the second TCI and the third TCI currently measured by the UE are reported;

[0417] The measurement results of the beams associated with the activated TCI (TRP, for example, the first TRP) participating in the evaluation;

[0418] Determine the measurement results of the beams of the reported serving cells based on network configuration (for example, network configuration reports all, or reports one of them (for example, reports the measurement results corresponding to the first TCI), or reports some of them (for example, reports the measurement results corresponding to the first TCI and the second TCI), or reports the best n or the worst n, etc. Not limited);

[0419] Report the measurement results of the best or worst n beams, where n is a preset value.

[0420] (Wherein, the measurement results of the above several cases can be the latest measurement results stored by the UE, or the best or worst measurement results within the TTT, which is not limited here. The focus here is on which TCI or TRP the reported measurement results are associated with.)

[0421] Report the linearly averaged measurement results.

[0422] The above embodiment is an example, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the trigger condition can be satisfied when the event is satisfied for n times in the event evaluation of the measurement results, or the trigger condition can be satisfied when the event is satisfied for m times in the event evaluation of the measurement results, or the trigger condition can be satisfied when the event is satisfied for n times in the TTT (preset time, network configuration or protocol specification) time.

[0423] Example 4: Conditional LTM

[0424] For example, 3TRP, first TCI, second TCI, and third TCI.

[0425] Step 1: Based on embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, the UE determines that the trigger condition is satisfied, and triggers the LTM execution or TA advance acquisition process

[0426] Step 2:

[0427] If the evaluation is based on one TRP, the UE selects one candidate cell and / or candidate beam that satisfies the trigger condition to perform cell change or TA advance acquisition. Optionally, the UE reports the selected candidate cell and / or candidate beam and / or the TRP of the associated serving cell to the network. Optionally, the TRP identifier (for example, the first TCI and the second TCI) of the selected candidate beam of the candidate cell is the same as the TRP identifier of the source cell that triggers the event evaluation.

[0428] If the evaluation is based on multiple TRPs, the UE selects one candidate cell and / or one candidate beam or multiple candidate beams that satisfy the trigger condition to perform cell change or TA advance acquisition. Optionally, the UE reports the selected candidate cell and / or candidate beam and / or the TRP of the associated serving cell to the network. Optionally, the TRP identifier (for example, the first TCI and the second TCI) of the selected candidate beam of the candidate cell is the same as the TRP identifier of the source cell that triggers the event evaluation.

[0429] In the disclosure, when the UE is configured with mTRP, that is, there are multiple activated TCIs at the same time, the UE only performs event evaluation on the beam associated with one of the TCIs. Specifically, the corresponding beam can be selected according to a principle specified by a protocol, or one of the beams can be selected according to the indication information configured by the network to perform event evaluation. Alternatively, the UE performs event evaluation on all beams corresponding to the multiple activated TCIs. Alternatively, the UE performs event evaluation on one or more specified beams.

[0430] Therefore, the disclosure can enable the UE to perform event evaluation based on the associated beams of one TRP or multiple TRPs in a scenario where a serving cell is configured with multiple TRPs.

[0431] It should be noted that the event evaluation method provided by the disclosure takes a terminal (such as a UE) as the execution subject, and the specific implementation process can refer to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1-5 and embodiments 1-4, and the specific implementation process will not be described here.
