Measurement methods, communication equipment and storage media Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to a measurement method, communication device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Once the terminal device receives the LTM (L1L2 Triggered Mobility) configuration, it will initiate measurements on LTM candidate cells according to the measurement configuration.

[0003] In the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems:

[0004] The existing measurement process for measuring the SCell (Secondary Cell) corresponding to LTM candidate cells immediately initiates SCell measurements upon receiving the LTM configuration.

These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to specific embodiments.

[0128] Implementation methods of this application

[0129] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0130] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element, and / or, components, features, and elements with the same names in different embodiments of this application may have the same meaning or different meanings, the specific meaning of which must be determined by its interpretation in that specific embodiment or further in conjunction with the context of that specific embodiment.

[0131] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this document, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination." Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to also include the plural forms unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising," "including," indicate the presence of the stated feature, step, operation, element, component, item, kind, and / or group, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, kinds, and / or groups. The terms "or," "and / or," "including at least one of the following," etc., as used in this application, may be interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination thereof. For example, "including at least one of the following: A, B, C" means "any one of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C." Similarly, "A, B, or C" or "A, B, and / or C" means "any one of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C." Exceptions to this definition only occur when the combination of elements, functions, steps, or operations is inherently mutually exclusive in some way.

[0132] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of this application's embodiments are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some of the steps in the figures may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and their execution order is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least a portion of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0133] Depending on the context, the words “if” or “suppose” as used here can be interpreted as “when” or “in response to determination” or “in response to detection.” Similarly, depending on the context, the phrases “if determination” or “if detection (of the stated condition or event)” can be interpreted as “when determination” or “in response to determination” or “when detection (of the stated condition or event)” or “in response to detection (of the stated condition or event).”

[0134] It should be noted that step designations such as S1 and S2 are used in this document for the purpose of more clearly and concisely describing the corresponding content, and do not constitute a substantial limitation on the order. In specific implementation, those skilled in the art may execute S2 first and then S1, etc., but these should all be within the protection scope of this application.

[0135] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0136] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustrative purposes and has no specific meaning in itself. Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.

[0137] The communication equipment mentioned in this application may be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone), a network device (such as a base station), or a chip (such as a SOC or a baseband chip with communication functions).

[0140] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal implementing various embodiments of this application. The mobile terminal 100 may include: a radio frequency unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (audio / video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111, etc. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not constitute a limitation on the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0141] The following section, with reference to Figure 1, provides a detailed description of each component of the mobile terminal:

[0142] The radio frequency unit 101 can be used for receiving and transmitting signals during information transmission or calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and processes it with the processor 110; additionally, it transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the radio frequency unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, etc. And / or, the radio frequency unit 101 can also communicate wirelessly with networks and other devices. The aforementioned wireless communications may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), 5G, and 6G.

[0143] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. Mobile terminals using WiFi module 102 can help users send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing wireless broadband internet access. Although Figure 1 shows WiFi module 102, it is understood that it is not an essential component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without altering the essence of the invention.

[0144] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into audio signals and output them as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in call signal receiving mode, call mode, recording mode, voice recognition mode, broadcast receiving mode, or other modes. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to specific functions performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., call signal receiving sound, message receiving sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, etc.

[0145] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos acquired by an image capture device (such as a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames can be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 can be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as telephone call mode, recording mode, and voice recognition mode, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 101 in telephone call mode. The microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0146] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the ambient light level, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, an accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in various directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the phone's posture (such as landscape / portrait switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc. Other sensors that may be configured in the phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, and infrared sensors, will not be described in detail here.

[0287] Optionally, if no beam in the candidate cell meets the first entering condition 1 of the corresponding event within the first time, or if all beams in the candidate cell that meet the first entering condition within the first time meet the first leaving condition 1 of the corresponding event within the first time, then the terminal device (notifying the lower layer) will not start or stop beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0288] Optionally, if at least one beam in a candidate cell satisfies the second entry condition (entering condition 2) of the corresponding event in the second time period, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting process. Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the LTM candidate cell and / or the SCell of the corresponding LTM candidate cell.

[0289] Optionally, if a candidate cell's beam that meets the second entry condition (entering condition 2) of the corresponding event meets the second departure condition (leaving condition 2) of the corresponding event within the second time period, and reportOnLeave is configured, then the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting process.

[0290] Optionally, as one scenario, taking the LTM event configuration as eventLTM3 as an example, for the eventLTM3 configuration, the measurement of the candidate cell's beam is set to be better than the measurement of the serving cell's beam by a preset offset. When specific conditions are met, the terminal device determines whether to initiate beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell and / or trigger the measurement reporting process. The specific implementation scheme is as follows:

[0291] If condition LTM3-1 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the entering condition 1 (i.e., the first entry condition) of the event is satisfied.

[0292] If condition LTM3-2 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition 1 (i.e., the first leaving condition) of the event is satisfied;

[0293] If condition LTM3-3 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the entering condition 2 (i.e., the second entry condition) of the event is satisfied.

[0294] If condition LTM3-4 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition 2 (i.e., the second leaving condition) of the event is satisfied.

[0295] Optionally, condition LTM3-1 satisfies the following inequality: Mn+Obn1-Hys>Ms+Obs+Off.

[0296] Optionally, condition LTM3-2 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn1 + Hys <Ms+Obs+Off。

[0297] Optionally, condition LTM3-3 satisfies the following inequality: Mn+Obn2-Hys>Ms+Obs+Off.

[0298] Optionally, condition LTM3-4 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn2 + Hys <Ms+Obs+Off。

[0299] Optionally, Mn represents the beam measurement quantity of the LTM candidate cell.

[0300] Optionally, Obn1 is a candidate cell-specific first bias (Obn1) applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0301] Optionally, Obn2 is a candidate cell-specific second bias (Obn2) applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0302] Optionally, Ms is the beam measurement quantity of the serving cell.

[0303] Optionally, Obs is the beam offset of the serving cell.

[0304] Optionally, Hys is the hysteresis parameter of this event.

[0305] Optionally, Off is the off parameter of this event.

[0306] For example:

[0307] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6, if the network device configures the configurations of eventLTM3 as follows: the hysteresis parameter Hys of the event = 2 db, the off parameter Off of the event = 4 db, the beam offset Obs of the serving cell is 2 db, the specific first offset Obn1 of LTM candidate cell 1 is 4 db, and the specific second offset Obn2 is 2 db, then:

[0308] The entering condition1 (the first entering condition) of the event is Mn + 4 - 2 > Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn > Ms + 4, that is, when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is greater than the beam measurement of the serving cell + 4, the terminal device considers that the entering condition1 of the event is satisfied;

[0309] The leaving condition1 (the first leaving condition) of the event is Mn + 4 + 2 < Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn < Ms, that is, when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is less than the beam measurement of the serving cell, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition1 of the event is satisfied; <00>

[0310] The entering condition2 (the second entering condition) of the event is Mn + 2 - 2 > Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn > Ms + 6, that is, when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is greater than the beam measurement of the serving cell + 6, the terminal device considers that the entering condition2 of the event is satisfied;

[0311] The leaving condition2 (the second leaving condition) of the event is Mn + 2 + 2 < Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn < Ms + 2, that is, when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is less than the beam measurement of the serving cell + 2, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition2 of the event is satisfied.

[0312] Optionally, if there is at least one beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering conditon1 of the corresponding event (i.e., Mn > Ms + 4) within the first time, the terminal device starts beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell corresponding to this beam.

[0313] Optionally, if there is no beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering conditon1 of the event within the first time or all the beams in the candidate cell that satisfy the entering conditon1 of the event within the first time satisfy the leaving conditon1 of the corresponding event (i.e., Mn < Ms) within the first time, the terminal device does not start or stops beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to this candidate cell.

[0314] Optionally, the first time is the trigger timer (timerToTrigger), that is, the time required to meet specific criteria in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping measurement or triggering a measurement report).

[0315] Optionally, if there is at least one beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering conditon2 of the corresponding event (i.e., Mn > Ms + 6) within the second time, the measurement reporting process is triggered. Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell.

[0316] Optionally, if the beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering conditon2 of the corresponding event within the second time satisfies the leaving conditon2 of the corresponding event (i.e., Mn < Ms + 2) within the second time and reportOnLeave is configured, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting process.

[0317] Optionally, the second time is the trigger timer (timerToTrigger), that is, the time required to meet specific criteria in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping measurement or triggering a measurement report).

[0318] Optionally, the first time and the second time can be the same or different.

[0319] Through the first specific offset Obn1 and the second specific offset Obn2 of the LTM candidate cell, the terminal device can have different event conditions for the measurement of the SCell of the candidate cell and the measurement reporting triggered by the event. Furthermore, the terminal device starts the measurement of the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell before triggering the measurement reporting triggered by the event, ensuring that there are measurement results of the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell before the measurement reporting, avoiding the terminal device continuously measuring the SCell of the candidate cell, and thus supporting the reduction of the energy consumption of the terminal device.

[0320] Alternatively, as another scenario, taking the LTM event configuration as eventLTM4 as an example, for EventLTM4, the measurement of the candidate cell's beam is set to be higher than an absolute threshold. Optionally, this absolute threshold is configured by the network device. The terminal device determines whether to initiate beam measurement or event evaluation and / or trigger the measurement reporting process for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell when certain conditions are met. The specific implementation scheme is as follows:

[0321] If condition LTM4-1 is met, the terminal device considers that the entering condition 1 (i.e., the first entry condition) of the event is met.

[0322] If condition LTM4-2 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition 1 (i.e., the first leaving condition) of the event is satisfied;

[0323] If condition LTM4-3 is met, the terminal device considers that the entering condition 2 (i.e., the second entry condition) of the event is met.

[0324] If condition LTM4-4 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition 2 (i.e., the second leaving condition) of the event is satisfied.

[0325] Optionally, condition LTM4-1 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn1 - Hys > Thresh.

[0326] Optionally, condition LTM4-2 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn1 + Hys <Thresh。

[0327] Optionally, condition LTM4-3 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn2 - Hys > Thresh.

[0328] Optionally, condition LTM4-4 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn2 + Hys <Thresh。

[0329] Optionally, Mn represents the beam measurement quantity of the LTM candidate cell.

[0330] Optionally, Obn1 is a first specific bias (Obn1) specific to the candidate cell, which is applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0331] Optionally, Obn2 is a candidate cell-specific second specific bias (Obn2) applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0332] Optionally, Hys is the hysteresis parameter for the event.

[0333] Optionally, Thresh is the threshold parameter for this event.

[0334] For example:

[0335] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7, if the network device is configured with the following settings for eventLTM4: event hysteresis parameter Hys = 2dB, event threshold parameter Thresh = -90dBm, first specific offset Obn1 of LTM candidate cell 1 is 4dB, and second specific offset Obn2 is 2dB, then:

[0336] The entering condition 1 (also known as the first entry condition) of the event is Mn+4-2>-90, that is, Mn>-92. In other words, when the beam measurement of the candidate cell is greater than -92dBm, the terminal device considers the entering condition 1 of the event to be met.

[0337] The leaving condition 1 (also known as the first leaving condition) of the event is Mn+4+2<-90, that is, Mn<-96. In other words, when the beam measurement of the candidate cell is less than -96dBm, the terminal device considers the leaving condition 1 of the event to be satisfied.

[0338] The entering condition 2 (also known as the second entry condition) of the event is Mn+2-2>-90, that is, Mn>-90. In other words, when the beam measurement of the candidate cell is greater than -90dBm, the terminal device considers the entering condition 2 of the event to be satisfied.

[0339] The leaving condition 2 (also known as the second leaving condition) of the event is Mn+2+2<-90, which means Mn<-94. In other words, when the beam measurement of the candidate cell is less than -94dBm, the terminal device considers the leaving condition 2 of the event to be satisfied.

[0340] Optionally, if at least one beam in a candidate cell satisfies the entering condition 1 of the event (i.e., Mn>-92) within the first time, the terminal device initiates beam measurement or event assessment for the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell of that beam.

[0341] Optionally, if no beam in the candidate cell satisfies the entering condition 1 of the event in the first time, or if all beams in the candidate cell that satisfy the entering condition 1 of the event in the first time satisfy the leaving condition 1 of the event in the first time (i.e., Mn < -96), then the terminal device will not start or stop beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0342] Optionally, the first time is the trigger timer (timerToTrigger), which is the time required to meet a specific standard in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping a measurement or triggering a measurement report).

[0343] Optionally, if at least one beam in a candidate cell satisfies the entering condition 2 (i.e., Mn>-90) of the corresponding event in the second time period, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting process. Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the SCell of the corresponding LTM candidate cell.

[0344] Optionally, if the beam of the candidate cell that satisfies the entering condition 2 of the corresponding event in the second time period satisfies the leaving condition 2 of the corresponding event in the second time period (i.e., Mn<-94), and reportOnLeave is configured, then the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting process.

[0345] Optionally, the second time is a trigger timer (timerToTrigger), which is the time required to meet a specific standard in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping a measurement or triggering a measurement report).

[0346] Optionally, the first time and the second time can be the same or different.

[0347] By using the first specific bias Obn1 and the second specific bias Obn2 of the LTM candidate cell, the terminal device can have different event conditions for measuring the candidate cell SCell and reporting the event-triggered measurement. This allows the terminal device to start measuring the corresponding candidate cell SCell before the event-triggered measurement report, ensuring that the measurement results of the corresponding candidate cell SCell are available before the measurement report is submitted. This avoids the terminal device continuously measuring the candidate cell SCell, thereby supporting the reduction of terminal device power consumption.

[0348] Optionally, the terminal device performs beam measurements on LTM candidate cells and / or on the beam measurements of the corresponding SCells of the candidate cells, and then reports the measurements after the measurement reporting conditions are met, i.e., sends a measurement report.

[0349] Optionally, the network device receives a measurement report sent by the terminal device.

[0350] Optionally, the network device sends an LTM handover command based on the measurement report.

[0351] Optionally, the terminal device receives an LTM handover command.

[0352] Optionally, the switching command includes at least one of the following: target configuration ID, TA command, TCI status ID, and SCell activation or deactivation indication.

[0353] Optionally, the target configuration ID is used to indicate index information for candidate target configurations.

[0354] Optionally, the TA command is used to indicate the TA information of the target cell.

[0355] Optionally, the terminal device executes the LTM cell handover procedure according to the LTM handover command.

[0356] Optionally, when the LTM switching command does not contain a corresponding SCell activation or deactivation indication, the terminal device configures the SCell state according to the SCell state pre-configured in the LTM candidate RRC configuration.

[0357] Optionally, when the LTM switching command includes an instruction for the corresponding SCell, the state of the corresponding SCell is configured according to the instruction.

[0358] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, the terminal device determines to measure the measurement resources based on the first configuration, which can optimize the measurement mechanism of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell, thereby supporting the reduction of terminal device power consumption.

[0359] Third Embodiment

[0360] Based on any of the above embodiments of this application, a third embodiment of this application is proposed, which further discloses a measurement method for determining how to measure measurement resources.

[0361] This embodiment proposes a technical solution in which the terminal device determines to measure measurement resources based on a first configuration, thereby optimizing the measurement mechanism for the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell and reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

[0362] Optionally, the first configuration is provided by the network device.

[0363] Optionally, the first configuration is the LTM CSI reporting configuration.

[0364] Optionally, the network device sends an LTM CSI report configuration.

[0365] Optionally, the terminal device receives LTM CSI reported configuration.

[0369] Optionally, the terminal device's measurement of measurement resources includes: the terminal device measuring the beam or reference signal or CSI measurement resources of the LTM candidate cell and / or the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0370] Alternatively, beam, reference signal, and CSI measurement resources can have the same meaning, that is, beam, reference signal, and CSI measurement resources can all represent a set of measurement objects configured by the network device for the terminal device to perform measurements.

[0371] Optionally, the terminal device determines to measure the measurement resources based on the first configuration, including: the terminal device determines to measure the beams of LTM candidate cells and / or the SCells corresponding to the candidate cells based on the event-triggered measurement reporting configuration.

[0373] Optionally, the LTM candidate reporting configuration includes the LTM candidate reporting configuration ID and / or candidate cell-specific bias (Obn).

[0374] Optionally, the LTM candidate reporting configuration ID is used to indicate the LTM candidate ID that the terminal device needs to perform beam measurement and / or LTM event assessment.

[0375] Optionally, if the LTM candidate ID is not in the LTM candidate reporting configuration list, the terminal device will not measure and / or assess the beam of the LTM candidate cell corresponding to the LTM candidate ID and / or the beam of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell.

[0376] Optionally, the candidate cell-specific offset (Obn) is used to indicate the offset of the event conditions of the reference signal of the LTM candidate cell corresponding to the LTM candidate reporting configuration ID.

[0377] Optionally, after receiving the LTM CSI reporting configuration sent by the network device, the terminal device performs beam measurement or event evaluation on the LTM candidate cell beam according to the LTM CSI reporting configuration. That is, when the LTM CSI reporting configuration is received, the beam measurement or event evaluation of the corresponding SCell of the LTM candidate cell is not started temporarily.

[0378] Optionally, depending on certain conditions, it may be determined whether to initiate beam measurement or event assessment for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell and / or trigger the measurement reporting process.

[0379] Optionally, satisfying a specific condition includes satisfying at least one of the first event condition, the second event condition, and the third event condition.

[0380] Optionally, satisfying the first event condition includes at least one of the following: the event serves as the measurement start or stop condition for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell, or at least one beam in the candidate cell satisfies the entry condition of the corresponding event within the first time period.

[0383] Optionally, the first time and the second time are trigger timers (timerToTrigger), which are the time intervals during which specific criteria need to be met in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping a measurement or triggering a measurement report).

[0384] Optionally, the first time and the second time can be the same or different.

[0385] Optionally, the entry and / or exit conditions are related to at least one of the following: beam measurement of the LTM candidate cell, candidate cell-specific offset, serving cell beam offset, hysteresis parameter of the event, offset parameter, and threshold parameter.

[0386] Optionally, if the event-triggered measurement reporting configuration does not include LTM event-triggered reporting content, then the corresponding event serves as the measurement start or stop condition for the beam of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell.

[0387] Optionally, if the event-triggered measurement reporting configuration includes LTM event-triggered reporting content, then the corresponding event serves as the measurement reporting condition for LTM candidate cell event triggering.

[0388] Optionally, as a scenario, if the event-triggered measurement reporting configuration includes LTM event configuration (such as eventLTM3 configuration, eventLTM4 configuration, eventLTM5 configuration, etc.) and an LTM candidate reporting configuration list, that is, the event-triggered reporting configuration does not include the reporting content triggered by the LTM event, then the event serves as the start or stop condition for the measurement of the beam of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell, and at least one of the following technical solutions exists:

[0389] If at least one beam in a candidate cell satisfies the entering condition of the event within the first time, the terminal device initiates beam measurement or evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell for that beam.

[0390] If no beam in the candidate cell meets the entering condition in the first time, or if all beams in the candidate cell that meet the entering condition in the first time meet the leaving condition in the first time, then the terminal device will not start or stop beam measurement or evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0391] Optionally, taking the LTM event configuration as eventLTM3 as an example, for eventLTM3 configuration, the measurement of the candidate cell's beam is set to be better than the measurement of the serving cell's beam by a preset offset. When specific conditions are met, the terminal device determines whether to start beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell. The specific implementation scheme is as follows:

[0392] If condition LTM3-1 is met, the terminal device considers the entering condition of the event to be met.

[0393] If condition LTM3-2 is met, the terminal device considers the leaving condition of the event to be met.

[0394] Optionally, condition LTM3-1 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn - Hys > Ms + Obs + Off.

[0395] Optionally, condition LTM3-2 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn + Hys < Ms + Obs + Off.

[0396] Optionally, Mn is the beam measurement quantity of the LTM candidate cell.

[0397] Optionally, Obn is the candidate cell specific bias (Obn) applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0398] Optionally, Ms is the beam measurement quantity of the serving cell.

[0399] Optionally, Obs is the bias of the beam of the serving cell.

[0400] Optionally, Hys is the hysteresis parameter of the event.

[0401] Optionally, Off is the Off parameter of the event.

[0402] For example:

[0403] If the configurations of event LTM3 are: the hysteresis parameter Hys of the event = 2 db, the Off parameter Off of the event = 4 db, the beam bias Obs of the serving cell is 2 db, and the specific bias Obn of LTM candidate cell 1 is 4 db, then:

[0404] The entering condition of the event is Mn + 4 - 2 > Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn > Ms + 4, which means that when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is greater than the beam measurement of the serving cell + 4, the terminal device considers that the entering condition of the event is satisfied;

[0405] The leaving condition of the event is Mn + 4 + 2 < Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn < Ms, which means that when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is less than the beam measurement of the serving cell, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition of the event is satisfied.

[0406] Optionally, if there is at least one beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering condition of the event (i.e., Mn > Ms + 4) within the first time, the terminal device starts the beam measurement or event evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell corresponding to the beam.

[0407] Optionally, if there is no beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering condition of the event within the first time, or all the beams in the candidate cell that satisfy the entering condition of the event satisfy the leaving condition of the event (i.e., Mn < Ms) within the first time, the terminal device does not start or stops beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0408] Optionally, the first time is the trigger timer (timerToTrigger), that is, the time required to meet specific criteria in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping measurement or triggering a measurement report).

[0409] Optionally, as another scenario, if the measurement report configuration triggered by the event includes LTM event configurations (such as eventLTM3 configuration, eventLTM4 configuration, eventLTM5 configuration, etc.), an LTM candidate report configuration list, and a report content configuration triggered by the LTM event, that is, the report configuration triggered by the event includes the report content triggered by the LTM event. At this time, when this event is used as the measurement report condition triggered by the LTM candidate cell event, there is at least one of the following technical solutions:

[0410] If there is at least one beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering condition (i.e., the entering condition) of the event within the second time, the terminal device triggers the measurement report process. Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell.

[0411] If the beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the corresponding event entering condition satisfies the corresponding leaving condition (i.e., the leaving condition) within the second time and reportOnLeave is configured, the measurement report process is triggered.

[0412] Optionally, taking the LTM event configuration as the eventLTM3 configuration as an example, for the eventLTM3 configuration, it is set that the measurement quantity of the beam of the candidate cell is better than the preset offset (offset) compared with the measurement quantity of the beam of the serving cell. When the terminal device meets specific conditions, the measurement report process is triggered. The specific implementation solution is as follows:

[0413] If condition LTM3-1 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the entering condition (i.e., the entering condition) of the event is satisfied;

[0414] If condition LTM3-2 is satisfied, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition (i.e., the leaving condition) of the event is satisfied.

[0415] Optionally, condition LTM3-1 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn - Hys > Ms + Obs + Off.

[0416] Optionally, condition LTM3-2 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn + Hys < Ms + Obs + Off.

[0417] Optionally, Mn is the beam measurement quantity of the LTM candidate cell.

[0418] Optionally, Obn is the candidate cell specific bias (Obn) applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0419] Optionally, Ms is the beam measurement quantity of the serving cell.

[0420] Optionally, Obs is the bias of the beam of the serving cell.

[0421] Optionally, Hys is the hysteresis parameter of the event.

[0422] Optionally, Off is the Off parameter of the event.

[0423] For example:

[0424] If the configurations of event LTM3 are: the hysteresis parameter Hys of the event = 2 db, the Off parameter Off of the event = 4 db, the beam bias Obs of the serving cell is 2 db, and the specific bias Obn of LTM candidate cell 1 is 2 db, then:

[0425] The entering condition of the event is Mn + 2 - 2 > Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn > Ms + 6, which means that when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is greater than the beam measurement of the serving cell + 4, the terminal device considers that the entering condition of the event is satisfied;

[0426] The leaving condition of the event is Mn + 2 + 2 < Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn < Ms + 2, which means that when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is less than the beam measurement of the serving cell, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition of the event is satisfied.

[0427] Optionally, if at least one beam of the candidate cell satisfies the entering condition of the event (i.e., Mn > Ms + 6) within the second time, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting process. Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the SCell of the corresponding LTM candidate cell.

[0428] Optionally, if there is no beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering condition of the event within the second time, or all the beams in the candidate cell that satisfy the entering condition of the event satisfy the leaving condition of the event within the second time (i.e., Mn < Ms + 2), and reportOnLeave is configured, the terminal device triggers a measurement reporting process.

[0429] Optionally, the second time is a trigger timer (timerToTrigger), that is, the time required to meet specific criteria in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping measurements or triggering a measurement report).

[0430] The network device can configure the measurement start and stop conditions for the LTM candidate cell SCell and the measurement reporting conditions triggered by the LTM candidate cell event. The terminal device determines the purpose of the corresponding event by whether the event configuration includes the reporting content triggered by the LTM event (such as the purpose is to configure the measurement start and stop conditions for the LTM candidate cell SCell or the measurement reporting conditions triggered by the LTM candidate cell event), so that the terminal device starts the measurement of the corresponding candidate cell SCell before triggering the measurement reporting triggered by the event, ensuring that there is a measurement result of the corresponding candidate cell SCell before the measurement reporting, avoiding the terminal device continuously measuring the candidate cell SCell, and thus supporting reducing the energy consumption of the terminal device.

[0431] Optionally, the terminal device performs measurement reporting on the beam measurement of the LTM candidate cell and / or the beam measurement of the corresponding SCell of the candidate cell after meeting the measurement reporting conditions, that is, sends a measurement report.

[0432] Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the LTM candidate cell and / or the SCell of the corresponding LTM candidate cell.

[0433] Optionally, the network device receives the measurement report sent by the terminal device.

[0434] Optionally, the network device sends an LTM handover command based on the measurement report.

[0435] Optionally, the terminal device receives the LTM handover command.

[0436] Optionally, the handover command includes at least one of: a target configuration Id, a TA command, a TCI state ID, and an SCell activation or deactivation indication.

[0437] Optionally, the target configuration Id is used to indicate the index information of the candidate target configuration.

[0454] Alternatively, beam, reference signal, and CSI measurement resources can have the same meaning, that is, beam, reference signal, and CSI measurement resources can all represent a set of measurement objects configured by the network device for the terminal device to perform measurements.

[0455] Optionally, the terminal device determines to measure the measurement resources based on the first configuration, including: the terminal device determines to measure the beams of LTM candidate cells and / or the SCells corresponding to the candidate cells based on the event-triggered measurement reporting configuration.

[0460] Optionally, the candidate cell-specific offset (Obn) is used to indicate the offset of the event conditions of the reference signal of the LTM candidate cell corresponding to the LTM candidate reporting configuration ID.

[0461] Optionally, the LTM event purpose is used to indicate the purpose of the event evaluation.

That is, when the LTM CSI reporting configuration is received, the beam measurement or event evaluation of the corresponding SCell of the LTM candidate cell is not started temporarily.

[0463] Optionally, depending on certain conditions, it may be determined whether to initiate beam measurement or event assessment for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell and / or trigger the measurement reporting process.

[0464] Optionally, satisfying a specific condition includes satisfying at least one of the first event condition, the second event condition, and the third event condition.

[0465] Optionally, satisfying the first event condition includes at least one of the following: the event serves as the measurement start or stop condition for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell, or at least one beam in the candidate cell satisfies the entry condition of the corresponding event within the first time period.

[0466] Optionally, satisfying the second event condition includes at least one of the following: the event serves as the measurement start or stop condition for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell; no beam in the candidate cell satisfies the entry condition of the corresponding event within the first time; or all beams in the candidate cell that satisfy the entry condition within the first time satisfy the departure condition of the corresponding event within the first time.

[0468] Optionally, the first time and the second time are trigger timers (timerToTrigger), which are the time intervals during which specific criteria need to be met in order to trigger a specific event (such as starting or stopping a measurement or triggering a measurement report).

[0469] Optionally, the first time and the second time can be the same or different.

[0470] Optionally, the entry and / or exit conditions are related to at least one of the following: beam measurement of the LTM candidate cell, candidate cell-specific offset, serving cell beam offset, hysteresis parameter of the event, offset parameter, and threshold parameter.

[0471] Optionally, if the purpose of the LTM event is to determine whether to start or stop beam measurement or event evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell, then the corresponding event serves as the start or stop condition for beam measurement of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell.

[0472] Optionally, if the purpose of an LTM event is to trigger measurement reporting, the corresponding event serves as the measurement reporting condition for triggering an LTM candidate cell event.

[0473] Optionally, as a scenario, if the purpose of the LTM event is to determine whether to start or stop beam measurement or event evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell (in which case the event serves as the start or stop condition for LTM candidate cell SCell beam measurement), then at least one of the following technical solutions is available:

[0474] If at least one beam in a candidate cell satisfies the entering condition of the event within the first time, the terminal device initiates beam measurement or evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell for that beam.

[0475] If no beam in the candidate cell meets the entering condition in the first time, or if all beams in the candidate cell that meet the entering condition in the first time meet the leaving condition in the first time, then the terminal device will not start or stop beam measurement or evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell.

[0476] Optionally, taking the LTM event configuration as eventLTM3 as an example, for eventLTM3 configuration, the measurement of the candidate cell's beam is set to be better than the measurement of the serving cell's beam by a preset offset. The terminal device determines whether to initiate beam measurement or event evaluation for the SCell corresponding to the candidate cell when certain conditions are met. The specific implementation scheme is as follows:

[0477] If condition LTM3-1 is met, the terminal device considers the entering condition of the event to be met.

[0478] If condition LTM3-2 is met, the terminal device considers the leaving condition of the event to be met.

[0479] Optionally, condition LTM3-1 satisfies the following inequality: Mn+Obn-Hys>Ms+Obs+Off.

[0480] Optionally, condition LTM3-2 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn + Hys <Ms+Obs+Off。

[0481] Optionally, Mn represents the beam measurement quantity of the LTM candidate cell.

[0482] Optionally, Obn is a candidate cell-specific bias (Obn) applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0483] Optionally, Ms is the beam measurement quantity of the serving cell.

[0484] Optionally, Obs is the bias of the beam of the serving cell.

[0485] Optionally, Hys is the hysteresis parameter of this event.

[0486] Optionally, Off is the off parameter of this event.

[0487] For example:

[0488] If the configurations of eventLTM3 are as follows: the hysteresis parameter Hys of the event is 2 db, the off parameter Off of the event is 4 db, the beam bias Obs of the serving cell is 2 db, and the specific bias Obn of LTM candidate cell 1 is 4 db, then:

[0489] The entering condition of the event is Mn + 4 - 2 > Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn > Ms + 4, which means that when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is greater than the beam measurement of the serving cell + 4, the terminal device considers that the entering condition of the event is satisfied;

[0490] The leaving condition of the event is Mn + 4 + 2 < Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn < Ms, which means that when the beam measurement quantity of the candidate cell is less than the beam measurement of the serving cell, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition of the event is satisfied.

[0491] Optionally, if there is at least one beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering condition of the event (that is, Mn > Ms + 4) within the first time, the terminal device starts the beam measurement or event evaluation of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell corresponding to this beam. [[ID=2...]]

[0492] Optionally, if there is no beam in the candidate cell that satisfies the entering condition of the event within the first time or all the beams in the candidate cell that satisfy the entering condition of the event within the first time satisfy the leaving condition of the event (that is, Mn < Ms) within the first time, the terminal device does not start or stops the beam measurement or event evaluation of the SCell corresponding to this candidate cell.

[0493] Optionally, as another scenario, if the purpose of the LTM event is to trigger a measurement report (at this time, this event is used as the measurement report condition triggered by the LTM candidate cell event), then there is at least one of the following technical solutions:

[0494] If at least one beam in a candidate cell satisfies the entering condition of the event within the second time period, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting process. Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the SCell of the corresponding LTM candidate cell.

[0495] If the beam of a candidate cell that meets the corresponding entering condition meets the corresponding leaving condition (i.e., the leave condition) within the second time period, and reportOnLeave is configured, then the measurement reporting process is triggered.

[0496] Optionally, taking the LTM event configuration as eventLTM3 as an example, for eventLTM3 configuration, the measurement of the candidate cell's beam is set to be better than the measurement of the serving cell's beam by a preset offset. When the terminal device meets specific conditions, it triggers the measurement reporting process. The specific implementation scheme is as follows:

[0497] If condition LTM3-1 is met, the terminal device considers the entering condition of the event to be met.

[0498] If condition LTM3-2 is met, the terminal device considers the leaving condition of the event to be met.

[0499] Optionally, condition LTM3-1 satisfies the following inequality: Mn+Obn-Hys>Ms+Obs+Off.

[0500] Optionally, condition LTM3-2 satisfies the following inequality: Mn + Obn + Hys <Ms+Obs+Off。

[0501] Optionally, Mn represents the beam measurement quantity of the LTM candidate cell.

[0502] Optionally, Obn is a candidate cell-specific bias (Obn) applied to all beams associated with the candidate cell.

[0503] Optionally, Ms is the beam measurement of the serving cell.

[0504] Optionally, Obs is the beam offset of the serving cell.

[0505] Optionally, Hys is the hysteresis parameter for the event.

[0506] Optionally, Off is the bias parameter for this event.

[0507] For example:

[0508] If the configurations of network configuration eventLTM3 are: the hysteresis parameter Hys of the event is 2 db, the offset parameter Off of the event is 4 db, the beam offset Obs of the serving cell is 2 db, and the specific offset Obn of LTM candidate cell 1 is 2 db, then:

[0509] The entering condition of the event is Mn + 2 - 2 > Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn > Ms + 6, which means that when the beam measurement of the candidate cell is greater than the beam measurement of the serving cell + 4, the terminal device considers that the entering condition of the event is satisfied;

[0510] The leaving condition of the event is Mn + 2 + 2 < Ms + 2 + 4, that is, Mn < Ms + 2, which means that when the beam measurement of the candidate cell is less than the beam measurement of the serving cell, the terminal device considers that the leaving condition1 of the event is satisfied.

[0511] Optionally, if at least one beam of the candidate cell satisfies the entering condition of the event (i.e., Mn > Ms + 6) within the second time, the terminal device triggers a measurement reporting process. Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the SCell of the corresponding LTM candidate cell.

[0512] Optionally, if no beam of the candidate cell satisfies the entering condition of the event within the second time or all the beams of the candidate cell that satisfy the entering condition of the event within the second time satisfy the leaving condition of the event (i.e., Mn < Ms + 2) within the second time, and reportOnLeave is configured, the terminal device triggers a measurement reporting process.

[0513] The network device can configure the measurement start and stop conditions of the SCell of the LTM candidate cell and the measurement reporting conditions triggered by the LTM candidate cell event. The terminal device determines the purpose of the corresponding event through the LTM event purpose (such as the purpose is to configure the measurement start and stop conditions of the SCell of the LTM candidate cell or the measurement reporting conditions triggered by the LTM candidate cell event), so that the terminal device starts the measurement of the SCell of the corresponding candidate cell before triggering the measurement reporting triggered by the event, ensuring that there is a measurement result of the SCell of the corresponding candidate cell before the measurement reporting, avoiding the terminal device continuously measuring the SCell of the candidate cell, and thus supporting the reduction of the energy consumption of the terminal device.

[0514] Optionally, the terminal device performs beam measurements on LTM candidate cells and / or on the beam measurements of the corresponding SCells of the candidate cells, and reports the measurements when the measurement reporting conditions are met, i.e., sends a measurement report.

[0515] Optionally, the measurement report carries the measurement results of the LTM candidate cell and / or the corresponding LTM candidate cell SCell.

[0516] Optionally, the network device receives a measurement report sent by the terminal device.

[0517] Optionally, the network device sends an LTM handover command based on the measurement report.

[0518] Optionally, the terminal device receives an LTM handover command.

[0519] Optionally, the switching command includes at least one of the following: target configuration ID, TA command, TCI status ID, and SCell activation or deactivation indication.

[0520] Optionally, the target configuration ID is used to indicate index information for candidate target configurations.

[0521] Optionally, the TA command is used to indicate the TA information of the target cell.

[0522] Optionally, the terminal device executes the LTM cell handover procedure according to the LTM handover command.

[0523] Optionally, when the LTM switching command does not contain a corresponding SCell activation or deactivation indication, the terminal device configures the SCell state according to the SCell state pre-configured in the LTM candidate RRC configuration.

[0524] Optionally, when the LTM switching command includes an instruction for the corresponding SCell, the state of the corresponding SCell is configured according to the instruction.

[0525] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, the terminal device determines to measure the measurement resources based on the first configuration, which can optimize the measurement mechanism of the SCell corresponding to the LTM candidate cell, thereby supporting the reduction of terminal device power consumption.
