Description

Measurement processing, configuration methods, devices, terminals and network equipment

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411593731.1, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on November 8, 2024, entitled "Measurement Processing, Configuration Method, Apparatus, Terminal and Network Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a measurement processing, configuration method, apparatus, terminal and network equipment. Background Technology

[0003] To conserve network energy, the concept of on-demand synchronization signal block (on-demand SSB, also known as OD-SSB) is proposed. To further reduce network power consumption, the secondary cell (Scell) can choose not to transmit an SSB or transmit a traditional sparse SSB before the on-demand SSB transmission begins. This sparse SSB is called always-on SSB. When a user has a demand, the Scell ​​transmits an on-demand SSB to meet that demand.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement processing method, executed by a terminal, including:

[0049] Step S101: Obtain the first configuration information;

[0050] The first configuration information includes at least one of A11-A16:

[0051] A11. Service cell measurement object configuration information;

[0052] A12. Auxiliary cell measurement cycle configuration information;

[0053] A13, First instruction information;

[0054] It should be noted that the first indication information is used to indicate whether the serving cell measurement object can be updated.

[0055] A14, Second Instruction Message;

[0056] It should be noted that this second indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement cycle of the secondary serving cell can be updated.

[0057] A15. Measurement reporting trigger type;

[0058] A16, Third Instruction Message;

[0059] It should be noted that the third indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement requirement of secondary cell activation state is used when measuring the first SSB.

[0060] Step S102: After receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, perform a first operation according to the first configuration information. The first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0061] A21. Update or activate the serving cell measurement object and / or the secondary cell measurement cycle;

[0062] A22. Trigger measurement report;

[0063] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the serving cell measurement object and / or secondary cell measurement period are updated or activated based on the first configuration information, and / or a measurement report is triggered, thereby enabling accurate measurement of the first SSB and / or triggering of the measurement report, ensuring communication reliability.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first configuration information mentioned above can be understood as configuration information for the first synchronization signal block (SSB).

[0065] In some embodiments, the serving cell measurement object configuration information mentioned in A11 above is mainly used for configuring the serving cell measurement object.

[0066] In some embodiments, the secondary cell measurement cycle configuration information mentioned in A12 above is mainly used for configuring the measurement cycle.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first indication information can be understood as follows: if the first indication information indicates that the serving cell measurement object can be updated, the terminal will update the serving cell measurement object after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information; if the first indication information indicates that the serving cell measurement object cannot be updated, the terminal will not update the serving cell measurement object after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second indication information can be understood as follows: if the second indication information indicates that the secondary serving cell measurement period can be updated, the terminal will update the secondary serving cell measurement period after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information; if the first indication information indicates that the secondary serving cell measurement period cannot be updated, the terminal will not update the secondary serving cell measurement period after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0069] In some embodiments, the measurement requirement of using the secondary cell activation state when measuring the first SSB, as described in this disclosure, can be understood as follows: if the terminal is configured to use the secondary cell activation state when measuring the first SSB, then after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the terminal uses the measurement requirement of the secondary cell activation state to measure the first SSB; otherwise, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the terminal does not use the measurement requirement of the secondary cell activation state to measure the first SSB.

[0070] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting trigger type is used to indicate at least one of A151-A152:

[0071] A151. Upon receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, a measurement report is triggered.

[0072] This situation can be understood as follows: as soon as the first SSB transmission indication information is received, measurement reporting needs to be performed, and a measurement report needs to be sent to the network device.

[0073] A152. When the first SSB transmission indication information is received and the serving cell meets the configured reporting settings, measurement reporting is triggered.

[0074] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration can be an event-triggered configuration or a periodic reporting configuration.

[0075] This situation can be understood as follows: when the first SSB transmission indication information is received, measurement reporting is not triggered. In this case, measurement can be performed first, and then the event trigger configuration or periodic reporting configuration is continuously monitored. Measurement reporting is only triggered when the event trigger configuration or periodic reporting configuration is met, and a measurement report is sent to the network device.

[0076] In some embodiments, for A21 above, if it is determined based on the first configuration information and the first SSB transmission indication information that the serving cell measurement object and / or the secondary cell measurement period need to be updated or activated, the serving cell measurement object and / or the secondary cell measurement period is updated or activated.

[0077] In some embodiments, for A22 above, if it is determined that a measurement report needs to be triggered based on the first configuration information and the first SSB transmission indication information, a measurement report is triggered, and a measurement report is sent to the network device when the sending conditions are met. In some embodiments, the sending condition may be obtaining the resources to send the measurement report.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first SSB transmission indication information mentioned in this disclosure is used to indicate that the transmission status of the first SSB is transmission or activation, that is, the transmission or activation of the first SSB is configured by the first SSB transmission indication information. In some embodiments, the first SSB transmission indication information is configured through at least one of Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Layer 1 (L1) signaling, and Layer 2 (L2) signaling.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first SSB referred to in this disclosure means that it is transmitted or activated only after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information. For example, the first SSB may refer to a demand-based SSB or an adaptive SSB.

[0080] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the serving cell measurement object configuration information is used to indicate that a secondary cell corresponds to one or more serving cell measurement objects;

[0081] The serving cell measurement objects include at least one of the following:

[0082] B11, the measurement object of the serving cell of the first SSB;

[0083] In this case, the serving cell measurement object is configured separately for the first SSB.

[0084] B12, the serving cell measurement object of the second SSB, which is different from the first SSB;

[0085] This situation can be understood as the measurement object used to measure the first SSB being the serving cell measurement object corresponding to the second SSB.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second SSB may refer to an SSB that is always transmitted periodically, such as an always-on SSB or a conventional SSB.

[0087] In some embodiments, the serving cell measurement object configuration information indicates at least one of B21-B23:

[0088] B21. At least one identifier for the object being measured;

[0089] In some embodiments, if multiple measurement object identifiers are configured (e.g., measurement object identifiers are represented by measurement object IDs), the multiple measurement object identifiers can be represented by a single measurement object identifier list. That is, the measurement object identifier list includes multiple measurement object identifiers.

[0090] In some embodiments, in one example case, the measurement object identifier corresponds to a first SSB configuration index and / or a first SSB transmission frequency index; in another example case, the measurement object identifier is independent and not associated with any information; that is, the measurement object identifier in this disclosure embodiment corresponds to one of the following four cases:

[0091] Scenario 1: Independent measurement object identification;

[0092] Scenario 2: The measurement object identifier corresponds to the first SSB transmission frequency index;

[0093] Case 3: The measurement object identifier corresponds to the first SSB configuration index;

[0094] Case 4: The measurement object identifier corresponds to the first SSB transmission frequency index and the first SSB configuration index.

[0095] B22. The initial activation state corresponding to the measurement object;

[0096] In some embodiments, the activation state can be activated or deactivated.

[0097] B23. After receiving the first SSB transmission instruction information, measure whether the object identifier can be effective or activated;

[0098] It should be noted that in this case, it means that after the first SSB transmission indication information is received, the effectiveness or activation of the measurement object identifier is indicated by additional indication information; when the indication can be effective or activated, the terminal sets the measurement object identifier to the effective or activated state after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information; when the indication cannot be effective or activated, the terminal does not change the state of the measurement object identifier after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0099] In some embodiments, under one implementation, for the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB, if the first SSB is not activated or transmitted, or if the measurement reporting trigger type corresponding to the first SSB is not configured and not triggered, then the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB is not activated or effective; or if the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB, then the serving cell measurement object is not activated or effective.

[0100] In some embodiments, if the first SSB cell only transmits the first SSB and not the second SSB, then before receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, no serving cell measurement object is activated or effective in the cell, that is, the terminal does not use the configured serving cell measurement object to perform the corresponding measurement; in some embodiments, if the cell transmitting the first SSB can also transmit the second SSB, then before receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object of the cell is the measurement object identifier corresponding to the second SSB, or the serving cell measurement object identifier of the second SSB of the cell is activated or effective.

[0101] This situation can be understood as follows: normally, when a measurement object is configured, it will take effect immediately because the SSB is constantly being transmitted; however, since the first SSB has not been transmitted, the cell that transmitted the first SSB and other neighboring cells corresponding to this measurement object should not be measured according to this measurement object until the first SSB transmission indication information is received, or the configured measurement reporting trigger type is triggered, then this measurement object can be used to configure the measurement of the cell that transmitted the first SSB and neighboring cells.

[0102] For example, if a measurement object N is the measurement object corresponding to the first SSB, and the first SSB is not activated or transmitted, the measurement object N will not be effective or activated until the first SSB transmission instruction information is received.

[0103] In some embodiments, activation as described in this disclosure can be understood as measuring the serving cell and neighboring cells corresponding to the measurement object identifier according to the corresponding configuration of the measurement object identifier; otherwise, the serving cell and neighboring cells corresponding to the measurement object identifier are not measured according to the corresponding configuration of the measurement object identifier.

[0104] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the specific implementation of updating or activating the serving cell measurement object includes at least one of C11-C19:

[0105] C11. Update the measurement object identifier corresponding to the measurement object of the serving cell to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated or transmitted first SSB;

[0106] In some embodiments, after the terminal receives the first SSB transmission indication information, the terminal determines the corresponding measurement object identifier according to the transmission frequency of the activated first SSB, and updates the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated first SSB; in some embodiments, before the terminal receives the first SSB transmission indication information, if no serving cell measurement object is activated or effective in the cell transmitting the first SSB, the serving cell measurement object is activated, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated serving cell measurement object is the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated first SSB.

[0107] C12. Based on the first SSB transmission indication information, configure the second configuration information of the activated or transmitted first SSB to determine the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB, and update or activate the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB.

[0108] In some embodiments, the second configuration information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a first SSB transmission frequency index, a first SSB configuration index, etc.

[0109] In some embodiments, if the first SSB transmission indication information indicates the transmission frequency index or configuration index corresponding to the activated first SSB, the terminal can determine the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated first SSB based on the transmission frequency index or configuration index, and update or activate the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to the measurement object identifier.

[0110] In other words, the measurement object identifier in this case is determined based on the second configuration information. After the measurement object identifier is determined, if the newly determined measurement object identifier is inconsistent with the previously used measurement object identifier, the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is updated. If there is no activated measurement object identifier before the measurement object identifier is determined, the measurement object identifier is activated, the serving cell measurement object is activated, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is the measurement object identifier.

[0111] C13. Update the measurement object identifier corresponding to the measurement object of the serving cell to the measurement object identifier configured according to the first SSB transmission indication information;

[0112] In other words, in this case, the first SSB transmission indication information will configure the measurement object identifier used by the first SSB. After the terminal receives the first SSB transmission indication information, if the measurement object identifier used before receiving the first SSB transmission indication information is inconsistent with the measurement object identifier configured in the first SSB transmission indication information, the measurement object identifier will be updated, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object will be updated to the measurement object identifier. If there is no activated measurement object identifier before receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the measurement object identifier will be activated, the serving cell measurement object will be activated, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object will be the measurement object identifier.

[0113] C14. If the first configuration information includes a measurement reporting trigger type or a report configuration corresponding to the first SSB, update or activate the serving cell measurement object.

[0114] It should be noted that the update or activation of the serving cell measurement object in this case is determined by the measurement reporting trigger type or whether the first SSB report configuration is configured. If the measurement reporting trigger type or the first SSB report configuration is configured, the terminal can update or activate the serving cell measurement object according to at least one of C11-C13 and C15-C19, and perform corresponding measurements and measurement reporting according to the updated or activated serving cell measurement object.

[0115] C15. If the first SSB transmission indication information is configured so that the terminal can update or activate the serving cell measurement object, then update or activate the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object.

[0116] In this case, the first SSB transmission indication information will indicate whether the terminal can update or activate the configuration of the serving cell measurement object. The terminal only needs to perform the corresponding operation of updating or activating the serving cell measurement object based on the configuration of the first SSB transmission indication information. If the terminal is configured to update or activate the serving cell measurement object, the user will update or activate the serving cell measurement object according to at least one of C11-C14 and C16-C19, and perform the corresponding measurement according to the updated or activated serving cell measurement object.

[0117] C16. If the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB activated by the first SSB transmission indication information is configured to be activated after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, then update or activate the measurement object identifier corresponding to the measurement object of the serving cell.

[0118] In some embodiments, this situation can be understood as follows: if the network device configures whether certain measurement object identifiers can be activated after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, and if the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB is configured to be activated after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, then the user updates or activates the serving cell measurement object according to at least one of C11-C14 and C17-C19, and performs corresponding measurements according to the updated or activated serving cell measurement object; otherwise, the terminal does not update or activate the serving cell measurement object.

[0119] C17. If first indication information is configured and the first indication information is used to indicate that the serving cell measurement object can be updated, then update the serving cell measurement object.

[0120] This situation can be understood as follows: the serving cell measurement object will only be updated if the first indication information indicates that it can be updated. The user updates or activates the serving cell measurement object according to at least one of C11-C16 and C18-C19. Otherwise, the serving cell measurement object will not be updated even if the first SSB transmission indication information is received.

[0121] C18. If the first SSB is configured with a target serving cell measurement object or a target measurement object identifier, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the target serving cell measurement object is activated or the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated serving cell measurement object is activated as the target measurement object identifier.

[0122] This situation can be understood as a separate configuration of a serving cell measurement object or measurement object identifier for the first SSB, and the activation of the serving cell measurement object or measurement object identifier is triggered by the transmission of indication information by the first SSB.

[0123] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured with a first SSB serving cell measurement object, the first SSB serving cell measurement object is activated after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information; for example, if the serving cell measurement object configured with the first SSB corresponds to a measurement object ID, the terminal directly activates the serving cell measurement object as the serving cell measurement object of the first SSB after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0124] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured such that N (N>=1) of the measurement object identifiers corresponding to the measurement object of the serving cell are the measurement object identifiers corresponding to the first SSB, then after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the serving cell measurement object is activated, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated first SSB.

[0125] For example, if the measurement object identifiers of N first SSBs corresponding to the measurement object of the serving cell are configured, after the terminal receives the first SSB transmission indication information, it determines the corresponding measurement object identifier according to the transmission frequency of the activated first SSB, and then activates the serving cell measurement object, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated serving cell measurement object is the measurement object identifier.

[0126] C19. If the first SSB is configured with a target serving cell measurement object or a target measurement object identifier, and the serving cell measurement object and the target serving cell measurement object are different or the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is different from the target measurement object identifier, then update the serving cell measurement object to the target serving cell measurement object or update the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to the target measurement object identifier.

[0127] This situation can be understood as follows: a serving cell measurement object or measurement object identifier is configured separately for the first SSB. If the serving cell measurement object activated before receiving the first SSB transmission indication information is inconsistent with the serving cell measurement object corresponding to the first SSB, then the serving cell measurement object needs to be updated, that is, the serving cell measurement object corresponding to the first SSB is activated to activate the original serving cell measurement object; or if the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is inconsistent with the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB before receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, then the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is updated to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the first SSB.

[0128] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured with a serving cell measurement object of the first SSB and a serving cell measurement object of the second SSB, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the serving cell measurement object of the second SSB is deactivated and the serving cell measurement object of the first SSB is activated.

[0129] For example, if N (N>=1) serving cell measurement objects are configured, of which M are serving cell measurement objects of the first SSB, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the terminal can determine the serving cell measurement object corresponding to the activated first SSB according to the transmission frequency of the activated first SSB. If the serving cell measurement object corresponding to the activated first SSB is different from the previously used serving cell measurement object, then the activated serving cell measurement object is activated, and the previously activated serving cell measurement object is deactivated.

[0130] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured with multiple first SSB measurement object identifiers, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, it updates the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to the serving cell measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated first SSB.

[0131] For example, if a serving cell measurement object is configured with two measurement object IDs, with measurement object N corresponding to the first SSB and measurement object M corresponding to the second SSB, then after receiving the transmission indication information from the first SSB, the measurement object ID corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is updated to measurement object N.

[0132] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0133] If the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, perform at least one of the following:

[0134] D11. Determine that the first measurement object identifier is deactivated or invalidated. The first measurement object identifier is the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object activated during the first SSB transmission.

[0135] It should be noted that this situation can be understood as follows: when the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, the measurement object identifier used for the first SSB transmission needs to be deactivated or set to an invalid state. In some embodiments, it can be understood that the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is no longer the measurement object identifier used during the first SSB transmission.

[0136] D12. Change the measurement object identifier corresponding to the measurement object of the serving cell to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the second SSB;

[0137] It should be noted that this situation can be understood as follows: when the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, the measurement object identifier needs to be reverted to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the second SSB. In some embodiments, this can be understood as the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object being updated to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the second SSB.

[0138] D13. Change the measurement object identifier corresponding to the measurement object of the serving cell to the measurement object identifier before the first SSB transmission;

[0139] It should be noted that this situation can be understood as follows: when the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, the measurement object identifier needs to be reverted to the measurement object identifier used before the transmission of the first SSB. In some embodiments, this can be understood as the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object being updated to the measurement object identifier corresponding to the one used before the transmission of the first SSB.

[0140] D14. If the first SSB transmission indication information configures the measurement object identifier as deactivated or invalid, determine that the measurement object identifier is deactivated or invalid.

[0141] It should be noted that the deactivation or invalidation of the measurement object identifier in this case is configured by the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0142] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the secondary cell measurement period configuration information is used to indicate one or more secondary serving cell measurement periods corresponding to one secondary serving cell;

[0143] The secondary cell measurement cycle configuration information indicates at least one of the following:

[0144] E11, the value corresponding to at least one secondary serving cell measurement cycle;

[0145] E12, the index value corresponding to at least one secondary serving cell measurement cycle;

[0146] In some embodiments, if multiple secondary serving cell measurement periods are configured, the multiple secondary serving cell measurement periods can be represented by a secondary serving cell measurement period list.

[0147] In some embodiments, in one example case, the secondary serving cell measurement period corresponds to a first SSB configuration index and / or a first SSB transmission period index; in another example case, the secondary serving cell measurement period is independent and not associated with any information; that is, the secondary serving cell measurement period in this disclosure embodiment corresponds to one of the following four implementation scenarios:

[0148] Scenario 1: Measurement cycle for independent ancillary service areas;

[0149] Scenario 2: The measurement cycle of the secondary serving cell corresponds to the first SSB transmission cycle index;

[0150] Scenario 3: The measurement cycle of the secondary serving cell corresponds to the configuration index of the first SSB;

[0151] Case 4: The measurement cycle of the secondary serving cell corresponds to the first SSB transmission cycle index and the first SSB configuration index.

[0152] E13, Measurement cycle of the secondary serving cell of the first SSB;

[0153] E14, Measurement cycle of the secondary serving cell of the second SSB;

[0154] E15, Activation status of the auxiliary service cell measurement cycle;

[0155] In some embodiments, the activation state can be activated or deactivated.

[0156] In some embodiments, a specific implementation of updating or activating the secondary cell measurement period includes at least one of the following:

[0157] F11. Update or activate the secondary serving cell measurement period according to the index of the secondary serving cell measurement period indicated by the received first SSB transmission indication information.

[0158] It should be noted that the secondary serving cell measurement cycle in this case is configured by the first SSB transmission indication.

[0159] F12. Update or activate the secondary serving cell measurement cycle according to the transmission cycle index or configuration index of the first SSB indicated by the received first SSB transmission indication information.

[0160] This situation can be understood as follows: the first SSB transmission indication information will be configured with a transmission period index or a configuration index. After the terminal receives the first SSB transmission indication information, it will update or activate the secondary serving cell measurement period to the value of the secondary serving cell measurement period corresponding to the transmission period or configuration index based on the transmission period index or configuration index indicated by the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0161] F13. If the received first SSB transmission indication information indicates that the terminal can update or activate the secondary serving cell measurement period, update or activate the secondary serving cell measurement period.

[0162] In this case, the first SSB transmission indication information will indicate whether the terminal can update or activate the secondary serving cell measurement period configuration. The terminal only needs to perform the corresponding operation of updating or activating the secondary serving cell measurement period based on the configuration of the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0163] F14. If the first SSB is configured with a target secondary serving cell measurement period, then update or activate the secondary serving cell measurement period to the target secondary serving cell measurement period.

[0164] This situation can be understood as a secondary serving cell measurement period being configured separately for the first SSB. The activation or update of this secondary serving cell measurement period is triggered by the transmission indication information of the first SSB. If the first SSB transmission indication information is received, and the secondary serving cell measurement period activated before the first SSB transmission indication information is received is different from the target secondary serving cell measurement period, then the secondary serving cell measurement period is updated to the target secondary serving cell measurement period. If the first SSB transmission indication information is received, and there is no secondary serving cell measurement period activated before the first SSB transmission indication information is received, then the secondary serving cell measurement period is activated to the target secondary serving cell measurement period.

[0165] For example, if two secondary serving cell measurement cycles are configured, one of which is for the second SSB, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the secondary serving cell measurement cycle for the first SSB is activated, and then the secondary serving cell measurement cycle for the second SSB is activated. As another example, if cell A only has the first SSB, the network device may only be configured with one secondary serving cell measurement cycle. In this case, the terminal will only activate this secondary serving cell measurement cycle after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information; otherwise, if there is no first SSB transmission, the terminal will not activate this secondary serving cell measurement cycle.

[0166] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the method further includes:

[0167] If the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, perform at least one of the following:

[0168] G11. Change the secondary serving cell measurement period to the secondary serving cell measurement period before the first SSB transmission;

[0169] It should be noted that this situation can be understood as the need to roll back the secondary serving cell measurement cycle to the secondary serving cell measurement cycle used before the transmission of the first SSB when the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted.

[0170] G12. Change the secondary serving cell measurement period to the secondary serving cell measurement period configured for the second SSB;

[0171] It should be noted that this situation can be understood as the need to revert the measurement object identifier to the serving cell measurement period corresponding to the second SSB when the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted.

[0172] G13. Change the secondary serving cell measurement cycle to the initial active state of the configured secondary serving cell measurement cycle.

[0173] It should be noted that this situation can be understood as the need to revert the measurement object identifier to the initial active state of the active secondary serving cell measurement cycle when the first SSB is deactivated or not transmitted.

[0174] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the specific implementation of triggering the measurement report includes:

[0175] After the measurement reporting trigger type configured for the network device is met, a measurement report is triggered if the first condition is met.

[0176] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0177] J11, Measurement results of at least one secondary cell transmitting the first SSB are available;

[0178] J12, The measurement results of at least one secondary cell transmitting the first SSB meet the reporting configuration of the network device configuration;

[0179] In some embodiments, the reporting configuration can be an event-triggered configuration or a periodic reporting configuration.

[0180] In some embodiments, under one implementation, the measurement report includes at least one of the following measurement results:

[0181] K11, Measurement results available for at least one serving cell;

[0182] K12, the measurement results available in the cell that triggered the measurement report;

[0183] K13, measurement results of the cell that triggered the measurement report and the first serving cell;

[0184] Wherein, the first serving cell satisfies at least one of the following:

[0185] K131. The time interval between the last reported measurement result and the time of the measurement report is greater than or equal to a preset value;

[0186] In some embodiments, the preset value is agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the network device.

[0187] K132. Measurement results are available but not reported;

[0188] K133, Send the first SSB;

[0189] In some embodiments, this situation can be understood as the cell reporting the measurement results referring to a cell other than the terminal's current serving cell, and that cell also sends the first SSB.

[0190] In some embodiments, under one implementation, if the serving cell measurement object and / or the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object has not changed, the measurement report includes at least one of the following measurement results:

[0191] M11, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the latest valid measurement result;

[0192] In some embodiments, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the measurement result reported by the terminal is the latest measurement result after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, excluding or independent of the measurement results before receiving the first SSB transmission indication information.

[0193] In some embodiments, the latest valid measurement result refers to the measurement result obtained by the terminal after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information and measuring the first SSB, and the measurement result is available.

[0194] M12, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the valid measurement result;

[0195] In some embodiments, after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, the measurement results reported by the terminal may be related to the measurement results before receiving the first SSB transmission indication.

[0196] In some embodiments, a valid measurement result refers to the measurement result obtained by the terminal after receiving the first SSB transmission indication information and measuring the first SSB and the second SSB, and the measurement result is usable.

[0197] The following example illustrates the specific application of this disclosure embodiment, using the first SSB as an on-demand SSB.

[0198] Application Scenario 1: Changes in the measurement object (i.e., activation or update of the corresponding measurement).

[0199] Specifically, the main implementation process includes:

[0200] Step S11: The terminal receives the first configuration information of the network device;

[0201] The first configuration information includes, but is not limited to, serving cell measurement object configuration information, which includes at least one of the following:

[0202] At least one object identifier;

[0203] The initial activation state corresponding to the measurement object;

[0204] After receiving the first SSB transmission indication information, measure whether the object identifier can be effective or activated.

[0205] The service cell measurement objects include at least one of the following:

[0206] The first SSB's service cell measurement object;

[0207] The serving cell measurement object of the second SSB is different from the first SSB.

[0208] The first configuration information can be configured in ServingCellConfig, on-demand SSB, BWP-DownlinkDedicated, ServingCellConfigCommon, or other configuration information. No restrictions are imposed in this embodiment.

[0209] In some embodiments, the measurement object identifier can be configured to correspond to the transmission frequency index or configuration index of the first SSB. For example, when configuring the network device, measurement object 1 can be configured to correspond to the transmission frequency index 1 of the first SSB, measurement object 2 can correspond to the transmission frequency index 2 of the first SSB, or measurement object 1 can correspond to the configuration index 1 of the first SSB, etc.

[0210] In some embodiments, a serving cell measurement object may correspond to one or more measurement object identifiers. If a serving cell measurement object corresponds to multiple measurement object identifiers, the multiple measurement object identifiers may also be configured as a measurement object identifier list. In some embodiments, the measurement object identifier may also be configured as an on-demand SSB measurement object identifier and / or an always-on SSB measurement object identifier and / or a traditional SSB measurement object identifier. In some embodiments, if a serving cell measurement object corresponds to one or more on-demand SSB measurement object identifiers, if no on-demand SSB transmission indication information is received or the initial activation state of the on-demand SSB measurement object identifier is not configured to be activated, the on-demand SSB measurement object identifier will not be activated or effective when the terminal receives the configuration from the network device.

[0211] In some embodiments, the network device can configure multiple serving cell measurement objects, such as at least one of traditional SSB serving cell measurement objects, always-on SSB serving cell measurement objects, and on-demand SSB serving cell measurement objects. These serving cell measurement objects may correspond to one or more measurement object identifiers or a list of measurement object identifiers. In some embodiments, if the network device configures always-on SSB or traditional SSB serving cell measurement objects, and the serving cell measurement object corresponds to a measurement object identifier, then after the terminal receives the network device configuration, it activates the always-on SSB or traditional SSB serving cell measurement object, that is, it measures the always-on SSB or traditional SSB according to the configuration of the measurement object identifier corresponding to the always-on SSB or traditional SSB serving cell measurement object. In some embodiments, if the network device configures on-demand SSB serving cell measurement objects, if the terminal does not receive on-demand SSB transmission indication information or the initial activation state of the on-demand SSB serving cell measurement object is not configured to be activated, then when the terminal receives the network device configuration, the on-demand SSB serving cell measurement object is not activated.

[0212] In some embodiments, the network device may configure the initial activation state of the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object. If the activation state of the measurement object N corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is active, then when the terminal receives the network device configuration, the terminal measures the SSB according to the configuration of the measurement object N.

[0213] In some embodiments, the network device can configure the measurement object identifier to determine whether it can be effective or activated after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information. If it is configured to be effective or activated, the terminal will update the serving cell measurement object to the measurement object identifier or activate the measurement object identifier only after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information. Otherwise, even if the on-demand SSB transmission indication information is received, the terminal will not update or activate the serving cell measurement object.

[0214] Step S12: The terminal receives on-demand SSB transmission indication information and updates or activates the serving cell measurement object. The method of updating or activating the serving cell measurement object includes at least one of the following:

[0215] Each measurement object identifier has its own corresponding frequency. When the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, it can determine the frequency of the activated on-demand SSB based on the on-demand SSB configuration, and then determine the corresponding measurement object identifier to decide whether to update or activate the serving cell measurement object. For example, if the measurement object identifier of the latest activated or transmitted on-demand SSB is measurement object N, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object was measurement object N before receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, then there is no need to update the serving cell measurement object; if the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object was measurement object M before receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, then the terminal will update the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to measurement object N. If the terminal did not perform radio resource management (RRM) measurements on the serving cell before activating or transmitting the on-demand SSB, i.e., no serving cell measurement object was used, activated, or effective, then the terminal will activate, use, or make effective the serving cell measurement object, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object will be measurement object N.

[0216] In some embodiments, if the measurement object identifier corresponds to the configuration index or transmission frequency index of the on-demand SSB, then upon receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication, if the on-demand SSB transmission indication is configured with a configuration index or transmission frequency index, the terminal determines the corresponding measurement object identifier based on the configuration index or transmission frequency index, and updates or activates the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object. The specific method for updating or activating the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object can be found in the description above and will not be repeated here. For example, if measurement object identifier 1 corresponds to configuration index 1, when the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, if the configuration of the on-demand SSB indicated as activated is configuration index 1, the terminal activates measurement object 1 and updates or activates the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object as measurement object 1.

[0217] In some embodiments, the terminal receives on-demand SSB transmission indication information from the network device. This on-demand SSB transmission indication information indicates the measurement object identifier that the serving cell measurement object is updating or activating. The terminal updates or activates the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to the corresponding measurement object identifier according to the received signaling content. For example, if the network device instructs the serving cell measurement object to update or activate the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to measurement object 1 via on-demand SSB transmission indication information, then after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the terminal updates or activates the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object to measurement object 1 and uses the configuration of measurement object 1 to measure on-demand SSB.

[0218] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured with a serving cell measurement object for always-on SSB / traditional SSB and a serving cell measurement object for on-demand SSB, after receiving the network device configuration, the terminal measures the always-on SSB / traditional SSB according to the configuration of the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object for always-on SSB / traditional SSB. When the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the terminal deactivates or deactivates the serving cell measurement object for always-on SSB / traditional SSB and activates the serving cell measurement object for on-demand SSB, that is, updates the serving cell measurement object to the serving cell measurement object for on-demand SSB.

[0219] In some embodiments, if the network device only configures one on-demand SSB serving cell measurement object and does not configure other serving cell measurement objects, when the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, it activates the on-demand SSB serving cell measurement object, and the activated on-demand SSB serving cell measurement object will remain activated until the deactivation condition is met.

[0220] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured with multiple on-demand SSB serving cell measurement objects, when the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the terminal determines the corresponding serving cell measurement object according to the activated on-demand SSB, for example, by determining the corresponding serving cell measurement object according to the transmission frequency, and updates or activates the corresponding serving cell measurement object.

[0221] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured to determine whether the measurement object identifier can be activated or take effect after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, then after the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, if the measurement object identifier corresponding to the activated or transmitted on-demand SSB is configured to be updated or activated, the terminal updates or activates the measurement object of the serving cell, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is the measurement object identifier; otherwise, the serving cell measurement object is not updated. For example, before receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the measurement object corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is measurement object 2. After receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information from the network side, the measurement object of the activated or transmitted on-demand SSB is measurement object 3. However, if measurement object 3 is configured not to be updated or activated, the terminal does not update the measurement object; that is, at this time, the measurement object corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is measurement object 2. If measurement object 3 is configured to be updated or activated, the terminal updates the measurement object; that is, at this time, the measurement object corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is measurement object 3.

[0222] In some embodiments, the network device can configure whether to update or activate the serving cell measurement object through on-demand SSB transmission indication information. If configured not to update or activate, the terminal will not update or activate the serving cell measurement object after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information. If configured to update or activate, the terminal will update or activate the serving cell measurement object after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information. For example, before receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is measurement object N, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the on-demand SSB is measurement object M. After receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, if the configuration is not to update or activate, the measurement object corresponding to the serving cell measurement object remains measurement object N, and the terminal does not perform RRM measurement on the on-demand SSB. If the configuration is to update or activate, the measurement object corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is updated to measurement object M, and the terminal measures the on-demand SSB according to the configuration of measurement object M. In some embodiments, if the network device is not configured to update or activate the serving cell measurement object, the terminal may also choose not to update or activate the serving cell measurement object.

[0223] In some embodiments, if the network device does not have an activated measurement object index configured or the measurement object identifier of the activated on-demand SSB is the same as the measurement object identifier before the activation of the on-demand SSB transmission, the terminal does not need to change the serving cell measurement object.

[0224] In some embodiments, when the on-demand SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, if the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is the measurement object N before the on-demand SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, the measurement object N can be directly deactivated or invalidated; or if the measurement object of the always-on SSB / traditional SSB is also measurement object N, the serving cell measurement object is not updated, and the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object remains measurement object N; or if the on-demand SSB transmission indication information configures whether measurement object N is deactivated or invalidated, if it is configured to be deactivated or invalidated, then measurement object N is deactivated or invalidated, otherwise measurement object N is not deactivated or invalidated; or if the measurement object identifier corresponding to the always-on SSB or traditional SSB is measurement object M, then the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is updated to measurement object M; or if the initial activation state of measurement object M is configured as activated, then the measurement object identifier corresponding to the serving cell measurement object is updated to measurement object M; or the serving cell measurement object is invalidated or deactivated, that is, RRM measurement is not performed on the cell.

[0225] In some embodiments, if the on-demand SSB reporting configuration is configured or the triggering report type in application scenario three is configured, the measurement object identifier corresponding to the terminal update or activates the serving cell measurement object is the measurement object identifier corresponding to the on-demand SSB. Under the configuration of the measurement object identifier corresponding to the on-demand SSB, the on-demand SSB is measured and the measurement result is reported.

[0226] Application Scenario 2: Changes to the measurement cycle of secondary serving cells (i.e., activation or update of the measurement cycle of secondary serving cells)

[0227] Specifically, the main implementation process includes:

[0228] Step S21: The terminal receives the first configuration information of the network device;

[0229] The first configuration information includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: secondary cell measurement cycle configuration information, and third indication information, wherein the third indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement requirement of secondary cell activation state is used when measuring the first synchronization signal block (SSB).

[0230] The secondary cell measurement cycle configuration information indicates at least one of the following:

[0231] The value corresponding to at least one secondary serving cell measurement cycle;

[0232] At least one index value corresponding to the measurement period of a secondary serving cell;

[0233] The secondary serving cell measurement period corresponding to the on-demand SSB configuration index value;

[0234] The secondary serving cell measurement period corresponding to the on-demand SSB period;

[0235] On-demand SSB secondary service cell measurement cycle;

[0236] Always-on SSB / Traditional SSB secondary serving cell measurement cycle;

[0237] The activation status of the ancillary service cell measurement cycle.

[0238] The network device is configured with a value corresponding to an on-demand SSB secondary serving cell measurement period. Upon receiving an on-demand SSB transmission indication, the terminal uses this secondary serving cell measurement period to measure the on-demand SSB. In some embodiments, upon receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication, if the secondary serving cell is inactive, the terminal uses this secondary serving cell measurement period to measure the on-demand SSB.

[0239] In some embodiments, the network device configures one or more secondary serving cell measurement periods, each secondary serving cell measurement period corresponding to an index value. In some embodiments, the network device configures one or more secondary serving cell measurement periods, and the index values ​​of the secondary serving cell measurement periods can be implicitly sorted in ascending or descending order according to the order in which the secondary serving cell measurement periods appear in the configuration. For example, if the network device configures secondary serving cell measurement periods of 20ms and 80ms, then the index value corresponding to the secondary serving cell measurement period of 20ms can be considered as 0, and the index value corresponding to the secondary serving cell measurement period of 80ms can be considered as 1.

[0240] In some embodiments, if there are multiple on-demand SSB secondary serving cell measurement periods, the multiple on-demand SSB secondary serving cell measurement periods can be configured into a secondary serving cell measurement period list.

[0241] In some embodiments, the network device configures one or more secondary serving cell measurement periods, and the secondary serving cell measurement period corresponds to the index value or transmission period index configured in the on-demand SSB. When the network side indicates the activated index value or transmission period index value configured in the on-demand SSB, the corresponding secondary serving cell measurement period is also activated.

[0242] In some embodiments, the network device can be configured with a secondary serving cell measurement period for a specific SSB, such as a traditional SSB, always-on SSB, or on-demand SSB. If the network device is configured with a traditional SSB / always-on SSB secondary serving cell measurement period, the terminal, upon receiving the network-side configuration, performs measurements on the traditional SSB / always-on SSB according to that secondary serving cell measurement period. If the network side is configured with an on-demand SSB secondary serving cell measurement period, and no activation state is configured or the activation state is configured to deactivate, if no on-demand SSB transmission indication information is received, the on-demand SSB secondary serving cell measurement period is invalid when the terminal receives the network configuration. The terminal waits for the network device's on-demand SSB transmission indication information. If the corresponding information is received, the terminal measures the on-demand SSB using the corresponding secondary serving cell measurement period according to the content indicated by the corresponding information.

[0243] In some embodiments, the secondary serving cell measurement period of a conventional SSB and / or always-on SSB and / or on-demand SSB can be configured as one or more secondary serving cell measurement periods or a list of secondary serving cell measurement periods.

[0244] In some embodiments, if an initial activation state is configured and the activation state of the secondary serving cell measurement cycle is active, it means that after receiving the configuration from the network side, the terminal performs the corresponding on-demand SSB measurement according to the activated secondary serving cell measurement cycle.

[0245] In some embodiments, the network device can be configured to use the measurement requirement of the Scell ​​active state when measuring on-demand SSB. If the network device is configured so that the terminal can use the measurement requirement of the Scell ​​active state when measuring on-demand SSB, the terminal uses the measurement requirement of the Scell ​​active state to measure on-demand SSB after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication. In some embodiments, the terminal can also use the measurement requirement of the Scell ​​active state when measuring on-demand SSB in a protocol-predefined manner; when on-demand SSB transmission begins, the terminal uses the measurement requirement of the Scell ​​active state.

[0246] Step S22: The terminal receives on-demand SSB transmission indication information and uses the secondary serving cell measurement cycle.

[0247] If the network device is configured with only one on-demand SSB secondary serving cell measurement cycle, the terminal activates the on-demand SSB secondary serving cell measurement cycle value configured by the network device to measure the on-demand SSB.

[0248] In some embodiments, the terminal receives on-demand SSB transmission indication information from the network device. This on-demand SSB transmission indication information indicates the active secondary serving cell measurement period index. The terminal determines the secondary serving cell measurement period based on the received signaling. For example, if the network device configures the active secondary serving cell measurement period index as secondary serving cell measurement period 1 through the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, and secondary serving cell measurement period 1 equals 80ms, then after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the terminal uses the secondary serving cell measurement period of 80ms to measure the on-demand SSB.

[0249] In some embodiments, the network device configures one or more secondary serving cell measurement periods. The secondary serving cell measurement period indexes are implicitly represented in ascending or descending order according to the order in which they appear. When the network device indicates the activation of a secondary serving cell measurement period index, the corresponding secondary serving cell measurement period index is activated or updated. For example, if the network device initially configures a secondary serving cell measurement period of 20ms and then 80ms, when the network device indicates the activation of secondary serving cell measurement period index 0, the terminal activates or updates the secondary serving cell measurement period to 20ms in ascending order and to 80ms in descending order.

[0250] In some embodiments, the terminal receives on-demand SSB transmission indication information from the network device. Based on the content of the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, such as the on-demand SSB configuration index value or transmission period index value, the terminal determines the secondary serving cell measurement period. For example, if the network device configures the secondary serving cell period to 80ms, corresponding to on-demand SSB configuration index 2, when the terminal receives an activated on-demand SSB configuration index 2, the terminal determines that the secondary serving cell measurement period corresponding to on-demand SSB configuration index 2 is 80ms. Similarly, if the on-demand SSB transmission period index corresponding to the network device's configured secondary serving cell period of 80ms is 2, then when the terminal receives an activated on-demand SSB transmission period index 2, the terminal determines that the secondary serving cell measurement period corresponding to the activated on-demand SSB is 80ms.

[0251] In some embodiments, if the network device is configured to use the Scell ​​active state for measurement when measuring on-demand SSB, or if the protocol predefines the use of the Scell ​​active state for measurement when measuring on-demand SSB, then when the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the terminal measures the on-demand SSB according to the measurement requirement of the Scell ​​active state.

[0252] In some embodiments, when the measurement period of the secondary serving cell of the on-demand SSB is activated, if the measurement period of the secondary serving cell of the always-on SSB / traditional SSB is configured, the measurement period of the secondary serving cell of the always-on SSB / traditional SSB can be deactivated or remain activated. The activation status of the measurement period of the secondary serving cell of the always-on SSB or traditional SSB can be configured or defined by the network device or by a protocol predefined method.

[0253] In some embodiments, when the terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, if the Scell ​​is inactive, the terminal will use the secondary serving cell measurement cycle; if the Scell ​​is active, the terminal will not use the secondary serving cell measurement cycle.

[0254] In some embodiments, when the on-demand SSB is deactivated or not transmitted, the secondary serving cell measurement cycle can be rolled back to the secondary serving cell measurement cycle before the on-demand SSB transmission; or the secondary serving cell measurement cycle configured with always-on SSB or conventional SSB can be used; or the secondary serving cell measurement cycle configured with the initial activation state as active can be used.

[0255] Application Scenario 3: Measurement Reporting

[0256] Specifically, the main implementation process includes:

[0257] Step S31: The terminal receives the first configuration information of the network device, including but not limited to: measurement reporting trigger type.

[0258] The measurement reporting trigger type can be either the terminal triggering measurement reporting after receiving on-demand SSB transmission indication information, or the terminal triggering measurement reporting when receiving on-demand SSB transmission indication information and the serving cell meets the configured reporting configuration, such as event triggering configuration or periodic reporting configuration.

[0259] In some embodiments, the first configuration information may further include: a preset value, which refers to the time elapsed since the last reported cell measurement result.

[0260] In some embodiments, when configuring a measurement-triggered reporting event, the network device can add a new IE in reportType to indicate a new measurement-triggered reporting event; or add a new IE in reportType to indicate that the report will only take effect after receiving an OD-SSB transmission indication, and the Scell's event triggering / periodic triggering reporting will be effective; or configure it in condTriggerConfig to indicate that the report will only take effect after receiving an OD-SSB transmission indication, and the configured Scell's event triggering will be effective; or configure a new event in EventTriggerConfig, etc. In this embodiment of the disclosure, there is no limitation on how the network device configures the terminal's new triggering reporting configuration.

[0261] Step S32: The terminal receives the on-demand SSB transmission indication information and triggers measurement reporting.

[0262] After receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, the terminal triggers a measurement report when the measurement result of any Scell ​​transmitting OD-SSB is available; or when the measurement results of all Scells transmitting OD-SSB are available; or when the measurement results of M Scells transmitting OD-SSB are available, where M is greater than 1, and M can be configured by the network device or predefined by the protocol; or when the measurement result of any Scell ​​transmitting OD-SSB meets the reporting configuration, the terminal triggers a measurement report; or when the measurement results of all Scells transmitting OD-SSB meet the reporting configuration, the terminal triggers a measurement report; or when the measurement results of M Scells transmitting OD-SSB meet the reporting configuration, the terminal triggers a measurement report, where M is greater than 1, and M can be configured by the network device or predefined by the protocol. In some embodiments, the reporting configuration can be an event-triggered reporting configuration, a periodic reporting configuration, or other reporting configurations, and no specific provisions are made in this disclosure.

[0263] The measurement report triggered by the terminal can be a valid measurement result of all serving cells; or a measurement result of a serving cell that meets the measurement reporting requirements; or a valid measurement result of a serving cell that meets the first reporting condition.

[0264] In some embodiments, the first reporting condition means that when the measurement result of Scell ​​N triggers measurement reporting, if the measurement results of other Scell ​​N are available and the time interval between the last measurement report of Scell ​​N is greater than or equal to a preset value, then the terminal also reports the measurement result of Scell ​​N; or if the measurement results of other Scell ​​N are available and there has been no measurement report before, then the terminal also reports the measurement result of Scell ​​N; or if other Scell ​​N is an OD-SSB cell and the measurement result is available, then the terminal also reports the measurement result of Scell ​​N.

[0265] In some embodiments, if the object being measured has not changed, when the terminal triggers measurement reporting, the reported measurement result may be the latest valid measurement result after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, that is, the measurement result after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information, which is unrelated to the measurement result before receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information; or it may be a valid measurement result after receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information (including the measurement result before receiving the on-demand SSB transmission indication information).

[0266] It should be noted that reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions is one of the sustainable development goals of modern society. Wireless mobile communication networks typically deploy a large number of base stations, which usually operate 24 / 7, consuming a significant amount of energy daily. To reduce energy consumption and achieve green communication networks, energy-saving mechanisms have been introduced into wireless communication systems. One proposed method is on-demand SSB (Service-Side Bus). Since on-demand SSB is not continuously transmitted, the question arises of how to obtain timely and effective measurement results and how to trigger measurement reports after the on-demand SSB begins transmission. At least one embodiment of this disclosure enables accurate measurement of the first SSB and / or transmission of measurement reports, ensuring that the terminal obtains timely and effective SSB measurement results, triggers measurement reports, and reports the measurement results to the network equipment. This allows both the terminal and network equipment to obtain measurement results promptly and take subsequent actions.
