[0148] L1-RSRP (Level 1 Reference Signal Received Power) is a key metric used in beam management within wireless communication systems, particularly 5G networks.

[0149] The L1-RSRP measurement and reporting process may include the following steps:

[0150] (1) Beam sweeping: The base station sends reference signals to various effective beam directions.

[0151] (2) Measurement: The UE measures the received power of the reference signal, namely L1-RSRP.

[0152] (3) Reporting: The UE reports L1-RSRP to the base station.

[0153] (4) Beam selection: The base station analyzes L1-RSRP and selects the beam direction with the highest received power, and communicates in the opposite direction of that beam.

[0154] In some embodiments, L1-RSRP can be used for cell beam management (BM) and to determine the target of data transmission.

[0155] In some embodiments, L1 beam management (L1 BM) based on L1-RSRP determination can be extended to measure other cells, such as cells with different PCIs (Physical Cell Identifiers). Accordingly, the UE's measurement behavior can include measurements of the serving cell and cells with different PCIs.

[0156] Optionally, L1 BM can include beam-related operations performed at the physical layer of network devices to ensure efficient communication links and optimized network performance. Beam management typically involves multiple aspects, including beam scanning, beam measurement, beam selection, and beam fault recovery. The processes of beam scanning, beam measurement, and beam selection can be found in the measurement and reporting processes of L1-RSRP described above. Beam fault recovery involves, when a beam link fails, indicating new beam resources, triggering the beam recovery process, and updating internal configurations, etc., aiming to ensure communication continuity and reliability.

[0157] In beam measurement operations involving L1 BM (i.e., measurement operations associated with L1 BM), it is necessary to consider the UE's measurement behavior in the event of a conflict between the serving cell being measured and the cell measuring different PCIs.

[0158] Optionally, in L1 BM, the cells that need to be measured can be configured in csi-MeasConfig (Channel State Information-Measurement Configuration) and / or csi-ReportConfig (Channel State Information-Report Configuration).

[0159] In some embodiments, within an L1 BM, when a conflict arises between the serving cell and a cell measuring a different PCI, the UE's measurement behavior can be restricted by defining a sharing factor P. Specifically,

[0160] Within FR2 (FR stands for Frequency Range), the inter-cell L1-RSRP measurement period TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP for cells with different PCIs can be found in Table 1.

[0161] Table 1:

[0162] In some embodiments, if the SSB performing the serving cell measurement is configured to perform L1-RSRP measurement, and is valid according to P1, and the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of cells with different PCIs have symbol overlap or are adjacent (in the time domain), then: P = P2, if P2 * T SSB_CDP >P1*T SSB_SC P = 2 * P², if P² * T SSB_CDP =P1*T SSB_SCP = P2, otherwise

[0163] T SMTCperiod This refers to the pre-configured SMTC (SSB-based Measurement Timing Configuration) period. SSB_SC That is, the SSB cycle of the serving cell.

[0164] In some embodiments, based on mobility research, L1-RSRP can be further extended to neighbor cells (L1 Triggered Mobility, or LTM for short). Accordingly, the UE's measurement behavior can include: the UE's measurements of the serving cell and neighbor cells.

[0165] Optionally, L1 mobility management primarily involves mobility-related operations performed at the L1 layer to ensure that communication interruptions occur for terminal devices during network device movement, while optimizing network performance and resource utilization. L1 mobility management is typically related to underlying signal processing, channel measurement, and decision-making processes based on these measurements. Channel measurement and estimation, at the L1 layer, involves network devices continuously measuring (i.e., L1 LTM-related measurement operations) and estimating the channel conditions between terminal devices and network devices. Handover decision-making, based on channel measurement results, may involve the L1 layer in the handover decision-making process; handover refers to switching a terminal device from one base station or cell to another to ensure communication continuity and quality; at the L1 layer, handover decisions may be based on underlying signal strength or quality thresholds. Beam management, in networks supporting beamforming, involves beam selection, adjustment, and fault recovery to improve signal quality and system capacity.

[0166] In L1 LTM, it is necessary to consider the UE's measurement behavior when there is a conflict between the serving cell and the neighboring cell.

[0167] Optionally, in L1 LTM, the cells to be measured can be configured in LTM-CSI-ResourceConfig (LTM-Channel State Information-Resource Configuration) and / or LTM-CSI-ReportConfig (LTM-Channel State Information-Report Configuration).

[0168] In some embodiments, in L1 LTM, when a conflict occurs between the serving cell and the neighboring cell, the UE's measurement behavior can be restricted by defining a sharing factor P. Specifically,

[0169] For UEs within FR2 that do not have the capability to perform measurements using RTD (Round-Trip Delay) > CP (Cyclic Prefix), the in-frequency L1-RSRP measurement period TIntra_L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB can be found in Table 2.

[0170] Table 2:

[0171] In the FR2 band, the value of TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra is defined for UEs that do not have the capability to perform measurements using RTD>CP, and the value of TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra is defined for UEs that do have the capability to perform measurements using RTD>CP. This is achieved by defining P... L1_sharing This resolves conflicts between the serviced community and neighboring communities.

[0172] Among them, P L1_sharing Defined as:

[0173] (1) When the number of neighboring cells configured for L1-RSRP measurement based on SSB is 1,

[0174] In the time domain, when the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of the neighboring cell have overlapping or adjacent symbols, P L1_sharing =2;

[0175] In other cases, P L1_sharing =1.

[0176] (2) When the number of neighboring cells configured with SSB-based L1-RSRP measurements is greater than 1,

[0177] If the TCI state of any cell in the intra-frequency neighboring cells or inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, P L1_sharing =3*N Neighbor_Cell ; where N Neighbor_Cell It is the number of neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list (used for gapless measurements within and between frequencies);

[0178] (3) In other cases, PL1_sharing = 3 * NNEighbor_Cell_in_list, where NNEighbor_Cell_in_list is the number of neighboring cells (including intra-frequency neighboring cells and inter-frequency gapless neighboring cells) whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list. No requirements are defined for any other cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.

[0179] With the development of measurement technology, network devices can be configured to simultaneously perform two measurement tasks for UEs: L1 BM (L1-RSRP measurement for BM) and L1 LTM (L1-RSRP for mobility). However, L1-RSRP measurement conflicts may occur when the UE performs these two measurement tasks. Therefore, the specific behaviors of the UE in performing these two measurement tasks can be defined, and a mechanism can be proposed to handle L1-RSRP measurement conflicts involved in measurement operations associated with L1 BM and L1 LTM.

[0180] When the UE is configured to perform both measurement tasks simultaneously: L1 BM and L1 LTM, there are three types of cells that need to be measured: serving cell, cells with different PCIs, and neighboring cells.

[0181] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the measurement configuration method and the interaction of the measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes:

[0182] Step 201, the network device determines configuration information; wherein, the configuration information is used to: restrict the measurement operations of L1 BM association and / or L1 LTM association when the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations and L1 LTM association measurement operations overlap, and / or increase the measurement duration of L1 BM association measurement operations and / or L1 LTM association measurement operations.

[0183] Optionally, the network device can determine the configuration information within FR2 based on whether the UE has the ability to perform measurements using RTD>CP.

[0184] Optionally, the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations (hereinafter referred to as the first measurement resource) and the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations (hereinafter referred to as the second measurement resource) overlap. This may include partial or complete overlap between the first and second measurement resources, which may lead to measurement conflicts such as inaccurate measurements due to the overlap between the first and second measurement resources.

[0185] Optionally, measurement restrictions on L1 BM-related measurement operations and / or L1 LTM-related measurement operations may include processing only one type of measurement at a time. For example, this may include, but is not limited to: performing L1 BM-related measurement operations and L1 LTM-related measurement operations separately (i.e., not performing L1 BM-related measurement operations and L1 LTM-related measurement operations simultaneously), performing only L1 BM-related measurement operations, performing only L1 LTM-related measurement operations, etc. The embodiments of this disclosure do not impose such restrictions.

[0186] Optionally, increasing the measurement duration for L1 BM-associated measurement operations and / or L1 LTM-associated measurement operations may include, but is not limited to: increasing the total measurement duration, and sequentially performing L1 BM-associated measurement operations and L1 LTM-associated measurement operations within the total measurement duration.

[0187] Step 202: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Accordingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0188] Optionally, this embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the connection method between the network device and the UE. The network device can connect to the UE wirelessly or via a wired connection. Accordingly, the network device can send configuration information to the UE using an appropriate communication method based on the connection method with the UE.

[0189] Step 203: The UE performs measurement operations associated with L1 BM and / or L1 LTM based on the above configuration information.

[0190] Optionally, when the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource overlap, the UE may, according to the configuration information, impose measurement restrictions on the measurement operations associated with L1 BM and / or L1 LTM, and / or, according to the measurement duration indicated in the configuration information, perform the measurement operations associated with L1 BM and / or L1 LTM.

[0191] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource overlap, the network device defines the UE's measurement behavior through configuration information. In this way, the UE can perform L1 BM-related measurement operations and / or L1 LTM-related measurement operations according to the received configuration information, avoiding the L1-RSRP measurement conflict caused by the overlap of the measurement resources required by the two operations when performing L1 BM-related measurement operations and L1 LTM-related measurement operations at the same time.

[0192] As mentioned above, the measurement behavior of the UE involved in L1 BM may include: the UE's measurement of the serving cell and cells with different PCIs; the measurement behavior of the UE involved in L1 LTM may include: the UE's measurement of the serving cell and neighbor cells; based on this, measurement conflicts between L1 BM and L1 LTM may include: measurements occurring midway between the three measurement behaviors of the UE measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighbor cells.

[0193] In some embodiments, the overlap between the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 BM association and the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 LTM association may include at least two of the following overlaps:

[0194] Measurement resources required to measure the service cell;

[0195] Measurement resources required to measure cells with different PCIs;

[0196] Measurement resources required to measure neighboring communities.

[0197] Optionally, the measurement resources required to measure the serving cell, i.e., the measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell; the measurement resources required to measure cells with different PCIs, i.e., the measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells with different PCIs; and the measurement resources required to measure neighboring cells, i.e., the measurement resources required by the UE to measure neighboring cells.

[0198] Optionally, the overlap of the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource may include: ① The measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell overlap with the measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells with different PCIs. In this case, it can also be regarded as the overlap of different measurement resources required for L1 BM; ② The measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell overlap with the measurement resources required by the UE to measure neighboring cells. In this case, it can also be regarded as the overlap of different measurement resources required for L1 LTM; ③ The measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells with different PCIs overlap with the measurement resources required by the UE to measure neighboring cells; ④ The measurement resources required by the UE to measure the serving cell, the measurement resources required by the UE to measure cells with different PCIs, and the measurement resources required by the UE to measure neighboring cells all overlap. The specific overlap methods are not listed one by one in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0199] It is understood that the “overlapping of measurement resources” described in the embodiments of this disclosure may include “partial overlap of measurement resources” or “complete overlap of measurement resources”, and regardless of the overlap method, it is within the protection scope of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0200] In some embodiments, the measurement restriction on measurement operations associated with L1 BM and / or L1 LTM may include:

[0201] Perform L1 BM-associated measurement operations or L1 LTM-associated measurement operations.

[0202] Optionally, measurement restrictions are imposed on measurement operations associated with L1 BM and / or L1 LTM, meaning that the UE does not perform measurement operations associated with L1 BM and L1 LTM simultaneously. In other words, the UE performs measurement operations associated with L1 BM and L1 LTM sequentially.

[0203] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the execution order of the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation performed by the UE is not limited. For example, the UE may perform the L1 BM-associated measurement operation first, and then perform the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation; or the UE may perform the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation first, and then perform the L1 BM-associated measurement operation, as long as the L1 BM-associated measurement operation and the L1 LTM-associated measurement operation are not performed simultaneously.

[0204] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by imposing measurement restrictions on measurement operations associated with L1 BM and / or L1 LTM, measurement operations associated with L1 BM can be performed sequentially using a first measurement resource and measurement operations associated with L1 LTM using a second measurement resource. This achieves time-domain reuse of overlapping resources among the measurement resources required for L1 BM and L1 LTM related measurement operations, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources when performing L1 BM and L1 LTM related measurement operations simultaneously.

[0205] Referring to Figure 3, the above method may include:

[0206] Step 301, the network device determines configuration information; wherein the configuration information is used to: limit L1 BM measurements when the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations overlap with the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations.

[0207] Optionally, the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations and the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations may include, but are not limited to, the SSBs required for both. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations and the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations overlap, including at least two of the following SSBs having sign overlap:

[0208] The first SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement associated with L1 LTM on a CC (Component Carrier).

[0209] The second SSB required for performing at least one of the following measurement operations on the serving cell on a CC or different CCs of the same bandwidth: RLM (Radio Link Monitor), BFD (Beam Failure Detection), and CBD (Candidate Beam Detection);

[0210] The third SSB required for at least one of the L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD, and CBD measurement operations for cells with different PCIs.

[0211] Optionally, the presence of symbol overlap between at least two of the first, second, and third SSBs can specifically include: at least two of the first, second, and third SSBs having OFDM symbol overlap.

[0212] Optionally, the sign overlap of at least two of the first SSB, second SSB, and third SSB may include, but is not limited to, all or part of the sign overlap of at least two of the first SSB, second SSB, and third SSB.

[0213] Step 302: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Accordingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0214] Step 303: The UE performs L1 BM associated measurement operations based on the above configuration information.

[0215] In some embodiments, the measurement operation of performing L1 BM association may include:

[0216] Take any one of the first SSB, the second SSB, and the third SSB as the first target SSB, and perform the measurement operation corresponding to the first target SSB.

[0217] Optionally, the measurement cycle required when performing the measurement operation corresponding to the first target SSB may be longer than the measurement cycle required for L1-RSRP via SSB.

[0218] Optionally, when the first SSB is used as the first target SSB, the measurement operation may include: the UE performing an L1-RSRP measurement for L1 LTM on a CC.

[0219] Optionally, when the second SSB is used as the first target SSB, the measurement operations performed may include: the UE performing at least one of the following measurement operations on the serving cell: RLM, BFD, and CBD, on one CC or different CCs in the same bandwidth.

[0220] Optionally, when the third SSB is used as the first target SSB, the measurement operations performed may include: the UE performing at least one of the following measurement operations on cells with different PCIs: L1-RSRP, RLM, BFD, and CBD.

[0221] Referring to Figure 4, the above method may include:

[0222] Step 401, the network device determines configuration information; wherein, the configuration information is used to: limit the measurement of L1 LTM when the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations overlap with the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations.

[0223] Referring to the above, optionally, the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations and the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations may include, but are not limited to, the SSBs required for both. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the overlap between the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations and the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations may include at least two of the following SSBs having sign overlap:

[0224] The fourth SSB required for L1-RSRP measurements of cells with different PCIs on a CC;

[0225] The fifth SSB required to perform at least one of the RLM, BFD and CBD measurement operations on the serving cell on the same CC or different CCs in the same bandwidth;

[0226] The sixth SSB required for L1-RSRP measurements of neighboring cells for L1 LTM.

[0227] Optionally, the presence of symbol overlap in at least two of the fourth, fifth, and sixth SSBs can specifically include: OFDM symbol overlap in at least two of the fourth, fifth, and sixth SSBs.

[0228] Optionally, the symbol overlap of at least two of the fourth, fifth, and sixth SSBs may include, but is not limited to, at least two of the fourth, fifth, and sixth SSBs being located in the same OFDM symbol.

[0229] Step 402: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Accordingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0230] Step 403: The UE performs L1 LTM associated measurement operations based on the above configuration information.

[0231] In some embodiments, the measurement operation of performing L1 LTM correlation may include:

[0232] Take any one of the fourth SSB, the fifth SSB, and the sixth SSB as the second target SSB, and perform the measurement operation corresponding to the second target SSB.

[0233] Optionally, the measurement cycle required when performing the measurement operation corresponding to the second target SSB may be longer than the measurement cycle required for RLM or L1-RSRP via SSB.

[0234] Optionally, when the fourth SSB is used as the second target SSB, the measurement operation may include: the UE performing L1-RSRP measurements on a CC for cells with different PCIs.

[0235] Optionally, when the fifth SSB is used as the second target SSB, the measurement operations performed may include: the UE performing at least one of the following measurement operations on the serving cell: RLM, BFD, and CBD on the same CC or different CCs in the same bandwidth.

[0236] Optionally, when the sixth SSB is used as the second target SSB, the measurement operation may include: the UE performing L1-RSRP measurement for L1 LTM on neighboring cells.

[0237] Referring to Figure 5, the above method may include:

[0238] Step 501, the network device determines configuration information; wherein, the configuration information is used to: increase the measurement duration for L1 BM when the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations overlap with the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations.

[0239] In some embodiments, the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 BM association and the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 LTM association overlap in time, including at least two of the following overlaps:

[0240] Measurement resources required to measure the service cell;

[0241] Measurement resources required to measure cells with different PCIs;

[0242] Measurement resources required to measure neighboring communities.

[0243] Optionally, the overlap between the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource may also include the aforementioned SSB overlaps, which will not be elaborated here.

[0244] In some embodiments, increasing the measurement duration of the measurement operation for L1 BM association may include: extending the first shared factor and / or the second shared factor of the measurement operation for L1 BM association.

[0245] Optionally, the measurement duration of L1 BM association measurement operations can be increased by expanding the first shared factor and / or the second shared factor of the measurement operation.

[0246] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by increasing the measurement duration of the L1 BM association measurement operation, only a portion of the resources can be used for a measurement behavior within a certain time period. That is, the L1 BM association measurement operation can be performed sequentially using the first measurement resource, and the L1 LTM association measurement operation can be performed sequentially using the second measurement resource. This achieves time-domain reuse of overlapping resources in the first and second measurement resources, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of measurement resources required for both L1 BM association measurement operations and L1 LTM association measurement operations when they are performed simultaneously.

[0247] In some embodiments, the first shared factor and / or second shared factor for extending the measurement operation of L1 BM association may include at least one of the following:

[0248] The measurement duration corresponding to the first shared factor is divided into three parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighboring cells.

[0249] The measurement duration corresponding to the second shared factor is divided into four parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.

[0250] Optionally, the measurement duration corresponding to the first shared factor can be divided into three parts, i.e., P = P2 * 3. Here, "3" (the aforementioned first shared factor) indicates that the measurement duration is divided into three parts, used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighboring cells, respectively. In this way, overlapping resources among the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighboring cells can be reused in the time domain. Measurements can be performed sequentially on the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, and neighboring cells, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources when simultaneously measuring the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, and neighboring cells.

[0251] Optionally, the measurement duration corresponding to the second shared factor is divided into four parts, i.e., P = P2 * 4. Here, "4" (the aforementioned second shared factor) indicates that the measurement duration is divided into four parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list. In this way, in the time domain, overlapping resources can be reused among the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list. Measurements can then be performed sequentially on the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, neighboring cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list. This avoids measurement conflicts that would occur when measuring the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, neighboring cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list simultaneously.

[0252] Step 502: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Accordingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0253] Step 503: The UE performs L1 BM according to the above configuration information. That is, the UE performs L1 BM-related measurement operations based on the measurement duration corresponding to the first shared factor and / or the second shared factor.

[0254] Optionally, referring to Table 1 above, the first shared factor and the second shared factor are P in Table 1, and the measurement duration corresponding to the first shared factor and the measurement duration corresponding to the second shared factor are TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP in Table 1.

[0255] Accordingly, the measurement duration corresponding to the first shared factor and the measurement duration corresponding to the second shared factor can be determined by combining different configuration information, and the L1 BM association measurement operation can be performed using the determined measurement duration. In this way, the aforementioned overlapping resources can be reused in the time domain to measure the involved cells sequentially, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of measurement resources required by each cell when measuring each cell simultaneously.

[0256] Optionally, in step 503, the L1 BM association measurement operation can also be performed in conjunction with the measurement operation for L1 BM association involved in step 303 above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0257] Referring to Figure 6, the above method may include:

[0258] Step 601, the network device determines configuration information; wherein the configuration information is used to: increase the measurement duration for L1 LTM when the measurement resources required for L1 BM association measurement operations overlap with the measurement resources required for L1 LTM association measurement operations.

[0259] In some embodiments, the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 BM association and the measurement resources required for the measurement operation of L1 LTM association overlap in time, which may include at least two of the following overlaps:

[0260] Measurement resources required to measure the service cell;

[0261] Measurement resources required to measure cells with different PCIs;

[0262] Measurement resources required to measure neighboring communities.

[0263] Optionally, the measurement resources required by L1 BM and L1 LTM may overlap, and may also include the aforementioned SSB overlaps, which will not be elaborated here.

[0264] In some embodiments, increasing the measurement duration of the measurement operation for L1 LTM association may include: extending the third shared factor of the measurement operation for L1 LTM association.

[0265] Optionally, the measurement duration of L1 LTM-correlated measurement operations can be increased by extending the third shared factor of the measurement operations for L1 LTM correlation.

[0266] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by increasing the measurement duration for L1 LTM association measurement operations, a measurement behavior can be performed using only a portion of the resources within a certain time period. That is, L1 BM association measurement operations can be performed sequentially using the first measurement resource and L1 LTM association measurement operations using the second measurement resource. This achieves time-domain reuse of overlapping resources in the first and second measurement resources, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of measurement resources required for both L1 BM association and L1 LTM association measurement operations when they are performed simultaneously.

[0267] In some embodiments, the third shared factor for extending the measurement operation to perform L1 LTM association may include:

[0268] If the number of neighboring cells is a first preset value, and any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring neighboring cells, and measuring cells of different PCIs have overlapping or adjacent symbols, the third sharing factor is set to 3.

[0269] If the number of neighboring cells is the second preset value, and the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell and measuring the neighboring cells have overlapping or adjacent symbols, the third sharing factor is set to 2.

[0270] If the number of neighboring cells is a third preset value, and there is no sign overlap or adjacency between any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring neighboring cells, and measuring cells with different PCIs, the third sharing factor is set to 1.

[0271] Optionally, the number of neighboring cells can be configured according to actual communication needs; that is, the first, second, and third preset values ​​are determined based on actual communication requirements. As an example, the first, second, and third preset values ​​can all be set to 1.

[0272] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells is a first preset value, and any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring neighboring cells, and measuring cells with different PCIs have overlapping or adjacent symbols, the third sharing factor can be set to 3, i.e., P. L1_sharing =3. In this way, in the time domain, overlapping resources among the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighboring cells can be reused. The serving cell, cells with different PCIs, and neighboring cells can be measured sequentially, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of measurement resources required by the three when measuring the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, and neighboring cells at the same time.

[0273] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells is a second preset value, and the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell and measuring the neighboring cells have overlapping or adjacent symbols, the third sharing factor can be set to 2, i.e., P. L1_sharing =2, so that in the time domain, the overlapping resources of the measurement resources required to measure the serving cell and the neighboring cell can be reused, and the serving cell and the neighboring cell can be measured in sequence, avoiding the measurement conflict caused by the overlap of the measurement resources required by the two when measuring the serving cell and the neighboring cell at the same time.

[0274] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells is a third preset value, and any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring neighboring cells, and measuring cells with different PCIs do not have symbol overlap or adjacency, the third sharing factor can be set to 1, i.e., P. L1_sharing =1. In this way, since no two of the SSBs required for the serving cell to perform measurements, the neighboring cells to perform measurements, and the cells with different PCIs do not have overlapping symbols or are adjacent, the corresponding measurements can be performed simultaneously using the measurement resources required by each of them. There will be no measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of the measurement resources required by the three, thus improving measurement efficiency.

[0275] In some embodiments, the third shared factor for extending the measurement operation of L1 LTM association includes:

[0276] If the number of neighboring cells is greater than the fourth preset value, and the TCI status of the neighboring cells within the frequency range or the inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps is not in the active TCI status list, the third sharing factor is set to: 4 multiplied by the number of cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.

[0277] If the number of neighboring cells is greater than the fifth preset value, and the TCI status of at least one of the intra-frequency neighboring cells or inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps is not in the active TCI status list, the third sharing factor is set to: 4 multiplied by the number of cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list.

[0278] Optionally, the number of neighboring cells can be configured according to actual communication needs; that is, the fourth and fifth preset values ​​are determined based on actual communication needs. As an example, both the fourth and fifth preset values ​​can be set to 1.

[0279] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells is greater than a fourth preset value, and the TCI states of intra-frequency neighboring cells or inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps are not in the active TCI state list, the third sharing factor is set to the product of 4 and the number of cells whose TCI states are not in the active TCI state list, i.e., P. L1_sharing =4*N Neighbor_Cell ; where N Neighbor_Cell This is the number of neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list (used for gapless measurements within and between frequencies). In this way, in the time domain, overlapping resources among the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighboring cells within the same frequency, and measuring neighboring cells between frequencies without gaps can be reused. This allows for the sequential measurement of the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, neighboring cells within the same frequency, and neighboring cells between frequencies without gaps, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by each cell when simultaneously measuring the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, neighboring cells within the same frequency, and neighboring cells between frequencies without gaps.

[0280] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells is a fifth preset value, and at least one of the cell states of the intra-frequency neighboring cells or inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, the third sharing factor is set to the product of 4 and the number of cells whose TCI state is in the active TCI state list, i.e., P. L1_sharing= 4 * NNeighbor_Cell_in_list, where NNeighbor_Cell_in_list is the number of neighboring cells (including intra-frequency neighboring cells and inter-frequency gapless neighboring cells) in the active TCI state list. In this way, in the time domain, overlapping resources among the measurement resources required for measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring intra-frequency neighboring cells, and measuring inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps can be reused. The serving cell, cells with different PCIs, intra-frequency neighboring cells, and inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps can be measured sequentially. This avoids measurement conflicts caused by overlapping measurement resources required by each cell when measuring the serving cell, cells with different PCIs, intra-frequency neighboring cells, and inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps are measured simultaneously.

[0281] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells is a third preset value, and there is no sign overlap or adjacency between any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring neighboring cells, and measuring cells of different PCIs, the third sharing factor can be set to 1. In this way, since there is no sign overlap or adjacency between any two of the SSBs required for measuring the serving cell, measuring neighboring cells, and measuring cells of different PCIs, the corresponding measurements can be performed simultaneously using their respective required measurement resources. Measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of the required measurement resources of the three will not occur, thus improving measurement efficiency.

[0282] Step 602: The network device sends configuration information to the UE. Accordingly, the UE receives the configuration information sent by the network device.

[0283] Step 603: The UE performs L1 LTM-associated measurement operations based on the above configuration information. That is, the UE performs L1 LTM-associated measurement operations using the measurement duration corresponding to the third shared factor.

[0284] Optionally, referring to Table 2 above, the third sharing factor is P in Table 2. L1_sharing The measurement duration corresponding to the third shared factor is TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP in Table 2.

[0285] Accordingly, the measurement duration corresponding to the third shared factor can be determined by combining different configuration information, and the L1 LTM association measurement operation can be performed using the determined measurement duration. In this way, the aforementioned overlapping resources can be reused in the time domain to measure the involved cells sequentially, avoiding measurement conflicts caused by the overlap of measurement resources required by each cell when measuring each cell simultaneously.

[0286] Optionally, in step 603, the L1 BM association measurement operation can also be performed in conjunction with the measurement operation for L1 BM association involved in step 403 above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0287] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides a mechanism for handling L1-RSRP measurement conflicts involved in measurement operations involving L1 BM association and L1 LTM association. Specifically, for overlap between the SSBs of cells with different PCIs and the SSBs of neighboring cells, two methods are defined to handle measurement conflicts between L1 BM and L1 LTM.

[0288] Method 1 (corresponding to Case 1 below): Define measurement limits when the SSB resources of L1-RSRP configured for L1 BM overlap with the SSB resources of L1-RSRP configured for L1 LTM.

[0289] Method 2 (corresponding to Case 2 below): Define the shared factor for L1-RSRP measurements configured between L1 BM and L1 LTM.

[0290] A. Case 1: Define measurement limits between these cells.

[0291] When the SSB required for cell measurements of different PCIs overlaps with the SSB required for neighbor cell measurements, the UE selects one of the SSBs to perform the corresponding measurement process.

[0292] A-A1. Example 1 for Case 1: Define the measurement limits of L1 LTM.

[0293] Example 1: For FR2, for UEs without [RTD>CP measurement capability] and UEs with [RTD>CP measurement capability], when ① [the SSB required for L1-RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power of L1 layer) measurement based on LTM (Lower Layer Triggered Mobility) on a CC (Component Carrier) (the fourth SSB mentioned above)], ② [the SSB required for RLM (Radio Link Monitor), BFD (Beam Failure Detection), or CBD (Candidate Beam Detection) measurement associated with serving cell measurement on a CC or different CCs of the same bandwidth (the fifth SSB mentioned above)] or ③ [the SSB required for L-RSRP, RLM, BFD, or CBD measurement associated with cell measurement of different PCIs (the sixth SSB mentioned above)] exists in OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). When multiplexing (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) symbols are completely or partially overlapping, the UE performs the corresponding measurement process through only one of the SSBs (the aforementioned second target SSB), rather than through all SSBs.

[0294] Due to the aforementioned measurement limitations, the measurement cycle of an RLM-based SSB may be longer than that of an L1-RSRP-based SSB.

[0295] A-A2. Example 2 for Case 1: Define the measurement limits for L1 BM.

[0296] Example 2: For FR2, when ① [the SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement of cells with different PCIs on a CC (the first SSB mentioned above)] and ② [the SSB required for RLM, BFD or CBD measurement associated with serving cell measurement on the same CC (the second SSB mentioned above)] or ③ [the SSB required for L1-RSRP measurement of neighbor cells on different CCs in the same bandwidth (the third SSB mentioned above)] are located in the same OFDM symbol, the UE performs the corresponding measurement process through only one of the SSBs (the first target SSB mentioned above), instead of performing the corresponding measurement process through all SSBs.

[0297] Due to the aforementioned measurement limitations, the measurement cycle required for SSB based on L1-RSRP measurements may be longer.

[0298] B. Case 2: Extending measurement duration by defining a shared factor

[0299] If the SSBs required for cell measurements of different PCIs and the SSBs required for neighbor cell measurements completely or partially overlap, the UE cannot perform measurements on them simultaneously. Therefore, by extending the UE's total measurement time, cells of different PCIs and neighbor cells can be measured one by one through their respective SSBs. The main idea of ​​this mechanism is to calculate the total resources of the SSBs required for cell measurements and share the measurement time among them.

[0300] B-B1. Example 1 for Case 2: Extend the measurement duration of L1 BM

[0301] Example 3: Within FR2, the TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_CDP of cells with different PCIs can be found in Table 1 above.

[0302] In some embodiments, when the UE is configured to perform L1 BM and L1 LTM, if the SSB for serving cell measurement is configured to perform L1-RSRP measurement and is valid according to P1, and the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of cells with different PCIs have symbol overlap or are adjacent (in the time domain), then:

[0303] (1) P = P2 * 3.

[0304] Among them, "3" (the first shared factor mentioned above) indicates that the measurement duration is divided into three parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, and measuring neighboring cells respectively;

[0305] (2)P = P2 * 4.

[0306] The “4” (the second shared factor mentioned above) indicates that the measurement duration is divided into four parts, which are used for: measuring the serving cell, measuring cells with different PCIs, measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list, and measuring neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.

[0307] B-B2. Example 2 for Case 2: Extending the measurement duration of L1 LTM

[0308] Example 4: Within FR2, TIntra_L1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB, which does not have the ability to perform measurements using RTD>CP, can be found in Table 2 above.

[0309] In the FR2 band, the value of TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra is defined for UEs that do not have the capability to perform measurements using RTD>CP, and the value of TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra is defined for UEs that do have the capability to perform measurements using RTD>CP. This is achieved by defining P... L1_sharing This resolves conflicts between the serviced community and neighboring communities.

[0310] Specifically, when the UE is configured to perform L1 BM-associated measurement operations and L1 LTM-associated measurement operations, P L1_sharing (The aforementioned third sharing factor) is defined as:

[0311] (1) When the number of neighboring cells configured for L1-RSRP measurement based on SSB is 1,

[0312] In the time domain, when there is symbol overlap or adjacency between the SSB of the serving cell, the SSB of neighboring cells, and the SSBs of cells with different PCIs, P L1_sharing =3;

[0313] In the time domain, when the SSB of the serving cell and the SSB of the neighboring cell have overlapping or adjacent symbols, P L1_sharing =2;

[0314] In other cases, P L1_sharing =1.

[0315] (2) When the number of neighboring cells configured with SSB-based L1-RSRP measurements is greater than 1,

[0316] If the TCI state of any cell in the intra-frequency neighboring cells or inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps is not in the active TCI state list, P L1_sharing =4*N Neighbor_Cell ; where N Neighbor_Cell It is the number of neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list (used for gapless measurements within and between frequencies);

[0317] (3) In other cases, P L1_sharing = 4 * NNeighbor_Cell_in_list, where NNeighbor_Cell_in_list is the number of neighboring cells (including intra-frequency neighboring cells and inter-frequency gapless neighboring cells) whose TCI status is in the active TCI status list. No requirements are defined for any other cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list.

[0318] In Case 2, the sharing factor is updated by considering cells with different PCIs, adding 1 to the original sharing factor so that the total measurement duration can be divided into: measurement duration for serving cell measurement, measurement duration for cell measurement with different PCIs, measurement duration for neighbor cell measurement with TCI status in the active TCI status list, and measurement duration for neighbor cell measurement with TCI status not in the active TCI status list.

[0406] It should be understood that the division of units or modules in the above device is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into a single physical entity, or they can be physically separated.
