[0068] As shown in Figure 1A, the communication system 100 includes a terminal 101 and a network device 102, wherein the network device includes at least one of the following: an access network device and a core network device.

[0069] In some embodiments, terminal 101 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: mobile phone, wearable device, Internet of Things device, car with communication function, smart car, tablet computer, computer with wireless transceiver function, virtual reality (VR) terminal device, augmented reality (AR) terminal device, wireless terminal device in industrial control, wireless terminal device in self-driving, wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, wireless terminal device in smart grid, wireless terminal device in transportation safety, wireless terminal device in smart city, and wireless terminal device in smart home.

Network elements may be virtual or physical. The core network may include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), or a Next Generation Core (NGC).

In this case, the interfaces between or within access network devices involved in the embodiments of this disclosure can be transformed into internal interfaces of Open RAN. The processes and information interactions between these internal interfaces can be implemented by software or programs.

[0073] In some embodiments, the access network device may be composed of a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). The CU may also be called a control unit. The CU-DU structure can separate the protocol layer of the access network device. Some of the protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while the remaining part or all of the protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU and centrally controlled by the CU. However, this is not the only possibility.

[0074] It is understood that the communication system described in this disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of this disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

The connection can be in any way, it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, it can be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0076] The embodiments disclosed herein can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New radio access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), and IEEE 802.20, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth (a registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems, systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems built upon them, etc. Furthermore, multiple systems can be combined (e.g., a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0077] In some embodiments, the cellular mobility process can be implemented based on Layer 3 (L3) measurements of the candidate cell and the source cell. For example, the terminal is expected to use a wider receive (Rx) beam for L3 measurements.

[0078] In the FR2 band, the terminal needs to perform Rx beam scanning for downlink (DL) synchronization, which requires more Rx beam scanning, for example, 8 Rx beam scans.

[0079] In some embodiments, Layer 1 (L1) measurements can be performed at the terminal using a narrow Rx beam, which can increase the gain generated by Rx beamforming.

[0080] In some embodiments, network devices may make mobility decisions based on L1 measurements provided by the terminal, such as LTM (L1 / L2-triggered mobility).

[0081] In some embodiments, L3 measurements can also be used to perform these steps in the LTM of the FR1 band (e.g., to determine whether to perform L1 measurements). For example, network devices in the FR1 band can make mobility decisions based solely on the results of L3 measurements. In this case, for example, terminals in the FR1 band only need to perform L3 measurements and do not need to perform L1 measurements.

[0082] For the FR2 band, since Rx beam scanning is required to achieve DL synchronization, L1 measurement is necessary. For example, the terminal needs to perform not only L3 measurement but also L1 measurement.

[0083] In some embodiments, the measurement objects for L1 and L3 measurements performed by the terminal may include the serving cell or neighboring cells.

[0084] The frequency relationship between the serving cell and neighboring cells can include two cases:

[0085] One scenario is that the serving cell and the neighboring cell are intra-frequency cells, meaning that the frequency corresponding to the serving cell and the frequency corresponding to the neighboring cell are the same.

[0086] Another scenario is that the neighboring cell and the serving cell are inter-frequency cells, meaning that the frequency of the serving cell and the frequency of the neighboring cell are different.

[0087] For example, when the serving cell and neighboring cells are inter-frequency cells, the terminal needs to switch frequencies to measure both the serving cell and the neighboring cell. Therefore, in some cases, a measurement gap (MG) needs to be set between the serving cell and the neighboring cell to allow the terminal to switch to another frequency for measurement. However, in other cases, such as when the terminal's capability supports frequency switching without an MG, then setting an MG is not necessary when the serving cell and neighboring cell are inter-frequency cells.

[0088] For example, if the serving cell and neighboring cells are within the same frequency range, the terminal does not need to switch frequencies when measuring the serving cell and neighboring cells, so there is no need to set the MG.

[0089] It should be noted that the time-domain resources used for terminal measurement can be called measurement opportunities, while in the case of inter-frequency cell measurement, measurement opportunities can be measurement opportunities in the measurement gap, such as MG occasions (measurement gap occasions).

[0090] Based on the above analysis, L1 measurement and L3 measurement can be divided into measurement with MG and measurement without MG.

[0091] Figure 1B is a schematic diagram illustrating a measurement relationship according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0092] As shown in Figure 1B, the measurement objects may include the serving cell, neighboring cells, etc.

[0093] In some embodiments, the objects measured by L1 measurements can be distinguished according to the Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state.

[0094] As shown in Figure 1B, a TCI state can include an indicated TCI state, an active TCI state, an inactive TCI state, etc. For example, the cell corresponding to an indicated TCI state can include a serving cell, the cell corresponding to an active TCI state can include a serving cell and a neighboring cell, and the cell corresponding to an inactive TCI state can include a serving cell and two neighboring cells.

[0095] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1B, the measurement object of L3 measurement may include the primary component carrier (PCC), such as the carrier corresponding to the primary cell in carrier aggregation; it may also include the primary secondary component carrier (PSCC), such as the carrier corresponding to the primary and secondary cells in carrier aggregation; and it may also include the secondary component carrier (SCC) in the FR2 band, such as the carrier corresponding to the secondary cell in carrier aggregation. Of course, the measurement object of L3 measurement is not limited to these and may also include other cells, which will not be elaborated here.

[0096] As shown in Figure 1B, for measurements without MG, L3 measurement has a relatively high priority, while L1 measurement has a relatively low priority. For example, for measurements without MG, if both L1 and L3 measurements can be performed on a single measurement opportunity, the terminal will prioritize L3 measurement on that measurement opportunity and then perform L1 measurement on measurement opportunities where L3 measurement is not performed.

[0097] For measurements involving measurement gaps (MGs), multiple targets can be included. These targets can be measurement objects (MOs) used for L3 measurements, or cells or frequency layers containing measurement resources used for L1 measurements. For example, as shown in Figure 1B, the measurement resources for L1 measurements include three frequency layers, and the MOs for L3 measurements include three MOs (MO1, MO2, and MO3). L1 measurements (e.g., measuring three frequency layers) and L3 measurements (e.g., measuring three MOs) can share measurement gap occasions. For example, the terminal can perform L1 or L3 measurements on the MG based on a shared factor (e.g., probability).

[0098] It should be noted that the measurement object, the cell corresponding to the TCI state, the layer corresponding to the cell, and the measurement timing shown in Figure 1B are only some examples provided in this disclosure, and the technical solutions of this disclosure are not limited to these.

[0099] In some embodiments, the measurement period (MP) of L1 measurement and the measurement period of L3 measurement can be calculated based on formulas. For example, Table 1 below shows a method for calculating the MP of L1 measurement within a frequency range. Table 1

[0100] As shown in Table 1, for example, if the intra-frequency L1 measurement is of the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) in the cell and the measured value is the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), then the MP measured by the intra-frequency L1 can be called TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra.

[0101] As shown in Table 1, the formula for calculating TL1-RSRP_Measurement_Period_SSB_intra may differ for cases that are not non-discontinuous reception (non-DRX (Discontinuous Reception)), cases where the cycle of discontinuous reception is less than or equal to 320ms, and cases where the cycle of discontinuous reception is greater than 320ms.

[0102] N is a shared factor used to reflect the Rx beam scan of FR2.

[0103] M is a shared factor used to reflect the configuration of the higher-level parameter TimeRestrictionForChannelMeasurement. If the higher-level parameter timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurement is configured, then M = 1; otherwise, M = 3.

[0104] P is a shared factor used to handle situations where the measurement gap timing or SMTC (SSB Measurement Timing Configuration) timing of L1 measurement conflicts with SSB resource occasions. The measurement gap timing of L1 measurement has a lower priority when it conflicts with the measurement gap timing and SMTC timing.

[0105] P L1_sharing This is an expansion factor introduced to calculate P, which can be used to resolve conflicts between the serving cell and neighboring cells. It is defined as follows: - When the number of neighboring cells configured with SSB-based L1-RSRP measurements is 1: - If any symbols of the SSBs of the serving cell and neighboring cells overlap or are adjacent (in the time domain), PL1_sharing = 2; - Otherwise, PL 1_sharing =1. - When the number of neighboring cells configured with SSB-based L1-RSRP measurements is greater than 1: - When the TCI status of intra-frequency neighboring cells or inter-frequency neighboring cells without gaps is not in the active TCI status list: -P L1_sharing =3*N Neighbor_Cell Where N Neighbor_CellThis is the number of neighboring cells whose TCI status is not in the active TCI status list (used for gapless measurement within and between frequencies); - Otherwise: -P L1_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 states are in the active TCI state list. No requirements are defined for any other cells whose TCI states are not in the active TCI state list.

[0106] As the analysis above shows, L1 and L3 measurements are required for the serving cell and also for the neighboring cell. This measurement method is relatively complex and not conducive to the energy-saving needs of the terminal.

[0107] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a measurement control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0108] In some embodiments, the measurement control method may be executed by a terminal.

[0109] As shown in Figure 2, the measurement control method may include the following steps:

[0110] In step S201, L3 measurement is performed on the neighboring cell, or L3 measurement and L1 measurement are performed on the neighboring cell.

[0111] In some embodiments, the terminal may perform L3 and L1 measurements by default (e.g., according to the protocol).

[0112] In some embodiments, the terminal may perform L3 measurement by default (e.g., according to the protocol), while whether to perform L1 measurement may be indicated by the network device (e.g., the network device may directly indicate whether the terminal should perform L1 measurement) or based on a condition. The condition may be specified by a predefined rule (e.g., according to the protocol) or indicated by the network device.

[0113] In some embodiments, the network device may instruct the terminal to perform L3 measurement, while whether to perform L1 measurement may be instructed by the network device (e.g., the network device may directly instruct the terminal to perform L1 measurement), or the terminal may make a judgment based on conditions, wherein the conditions may be specified by predefined rules (e.g., protocol agreement) or indicated by the network device.

[0114] In some embodiments, L3 measurement results (e.g., simply referred to as L3 measurement results) are necessary for both the serving cell and neighboring cells, and in the FR2 band, L3 measurement results can also be used to determine whether to perform L1 measurement.

[0115] In the serving cell, beam management is required, but the beam of L3 measurement is wider than that of L1 measurement, making it difficult to apply to beam management. Therefore, beam management in the serving cell needs to be based on the measurement results of L1 measurement (e.g., referred to as L1 measurement results). However, in neighboring cells, since there is no need for beam management, it is possible to consider not performing L1 measurement in neighboring cells in some cases to reduce terminal power consumption.

[0116] In some embodiments, performing L3 measurements on neighboring cells includes performing L3 measurements on the neighboring cells and determining, based on conditions, whether to perform L1 measurements on the neighboring cells.

[0117] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal can perform L3 measurements for neighboring cells, but it is not necessary to perform L1 measurements for neighboring cells. For example, it can determine whether to perform L1 measurements for neighboring cells based on conditions. If it is determined based on conditions that L1 measurements should not be performed for neighboring cells, then it is not necessary to perform L1 measurements for neighboring cells. This helps to reduce terminal energy consumption in order to meet the terminal's energy-saving needs.

[0118] Figure 3A is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between a cell and a measurement according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3B is a schematic diagram illustrating another relationship between a cell and a measurement according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0119] As shown in Figure 3A, the terminal needs to perform L1 and L3 measurements in the serving cell, and also in the neighboring cell.

[0120] As shown in Figure 3B, if it is determined based on conditions that L1 measurement will not be performed on neighboring cells, the terminal needs to perform both L1 and L3 measurements in the serving cell, but only L3 measurements in neighboring cells.

[0121] In Figures 3A and 3B, ON indicates that a measurement is being performed, and OFF indicates that a measurement is not being performed.

[0122] Comparing Figure 3A and Figure 3B, it can be seen that, compared to Figure 3A, in some cases (where it is determined that L1 measurement is not performed on neighboring cells based on conditions), the terminal does not need to perform L1 measurement on neighboring cells, so as to reduce terminal energy consumption and meet the terminal's energy-saving needs.

[0123] In step S202, the measurement results are sent to the network device.

[0124] For example, if an L3 measurement is performed but an L1 measurement is not performed, the L3 measurement result is sent to the network device. Alternatively, the terminal can deduce the L1 measurement result based on the L3 measurement result and then send the L1 measurement result to the network device as well.

[0125] For example, if both L3 and L1 measurements are performed, at least one of the L3 and L1 measurement results can be sent to the network device.

[0126] In some embodiments, the terminal may execute the measurement control method based on predefined rules (e.g., protocol agreements), or the resource allocation method may be triggered by a network device. For example, the network device may send indication information to the terminal to instruct the terminal to execute the steps in the measurement control method, or to stop executing the steps in the measurement control method (the terminal does not determine whether to perform L1 measurement on neighboring cells based on conditions, but performs L1 measurement on neighboring cells by default).

[0127] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether to perform L1 measurement on neighboring cells based on conditions, which may be specified by predefined rules (e.g., protocol agreements) or indicated by network devices, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0128] The following examples illustrate how a terminal determines whether to perform L1 measurements on neighboring cells based on conditions.

[0129] In some embodiments, determining whether to perform L1 measurement on the neighboring cell based on conditions includes:

[0130] If the event is met at least once, an L1 measurement is performed on the neighboring cell, wherein the event includes at least one of the following:

[0131] The relationship between the measurement results of the serving cell and the measurement results of the neighboring cells satisfies the first relation;

[0132] The relationship between the measurement results of the serving cell and the first threshold satisfies the second relationship;

[0133] The relationship between the measurement results of neighboring cells and the second threshold satisfies the third relationship.

[0134] For example, the terminal can determine whether an event is satisfied at least once. If the event is satisfied at least once, L1 measurement can be performed on the neighboring cell.

[0135] For example, a terminal can determine whether an event has been met at least once within a time window. If the event has been met at least once within a time window, L1 measurement can be performed on the neighboring cell. For example, meeting the event at least once within a time window can include meeting each event within the time window; for example, meeting each event within a time window can be called meeting the entry condition of the event, and not meeting each event within a time window can be called meeting the departure condition of the event.

[0136] For example, the relationship between the measurement results of the serving cell and the measurement results of the neighboring cells satisfies the first relationship, denoted as event A; the relationship between the measurement results of the serving cell and the first threshold satisfies the second relationship, denoted as event B; and the relationship between the measurement results of the neighboring cells and the second threshold satisfies the third relationship, denoted as event C.

[0137] For example, a network device may instruct a terminal to determine whether to perform an L1 measurement on the neighboring cell based on conditions including at least one of the following: whether event A is met at least once, whether event B is met at least once, and whether event C is met at least once.

[0138] The events described in the above embodiments are further illustrated by the following examples.

[0139] In some embodiments, the relationship between the measurement results of the serving cell and the measurement results of the neighboring cells satisfies a first relationship, including at least one of the following:

[0140] The L1 measurement result for the serving cell is less than (or equal to) the L1 measurement result for the neighboring cell;

[0141] The L1 measurement result for the serving cell is greater than (or equal to) the L1 measurement result for the neighboring cell;

[0142] The L3 measurement result for the serving cell is less than (or equal to) the L3 measurement result for the neighboring cell;

[0143] The L3 measurement result for the serving cell is greater than (or equal to) the L3 measurement result for the neighboring cell.

[0144] In some embodiments, the relationship between the measurement results of the serving cell and the first threshold satisfies a second relationship, including at least one of the following:

[0145] The L1 measurement result for the serving cell is greater than or equal to the threshold;

[0146] The L1 measurement result for the serving cell is less than or equal to the threshold;

[0147] The L3 measurement result for the serving cell is greater than or equal to the threshold;

[0148] The L3 measurement result for the serving cell is less than or equal to the threshold.

[0149] In some embodiments, the relationship between the measurement results of neighboring cells and the second threshold satisfies a third relationship, including one of the following:

[0150] The L3 measurement result for the neighboring cell is greater than or equal to the threshold;

[0151] The L3 measurement results for neighboring cells are less than or equal to the threshold.

[0152] It should be noted that in the foregoing embodiments, the thresholds for different events may be the same or different, and this disclosure does not limit this. The thresholds may be specified by predefined rules (e.g., protocol agreements) or indicated by the network device.

[0153] In some embodiments, an event may include not only the comparison measurement results in the above embodiments, but may also include comparison of other parameters, such as hysteresis parameters for event evaluation, such as the time of triggering conditions for event evaluation, etc. This disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0154] In some embodiments, if the terminal determines that it will not perform L1 measurement on the neighboring cell, it can deduce the L1 measurement result for the neighboring cell based on the L3 measurement result for the neighboring cell.

[0155] Although the terminal does not need to perform L1 measurements on neighboring cells if it determines based on conditions that it will not perform L1 measurements on neighboring cells, the network device may still require the terminal to report the L1 measurement results on neighboring cells in this case.

[0156] For example, a terminal may default to (e.g., according to a protocol) that the network device requires the terminal to report the L1 measurement results of neighboring cells. Then, the terminal can deduce the L1 measurement results of neighboring cells based on the L3 measurement results of neighboring cells and send the L1 measurement results of neighboring cells to the network device.

[0157] For example, a network device can send a request to a terminal, requesting the terminal to report the L1 measurement results of neighboring cells. Then, the terminal can deduce the L1 measurement results of neighboring cells based on the L3 measurement results of neighboring cells and send the L1 measurement results of neighboring cells to the network device.

[0158] The implementation method for the terminal to derive the L1 measurement results of neighboring cells based on the L3 measurement results of neighboring cells will be described in subsequent embodiments.

[0159] In some embodiments, for a serving cell, the terminal may perform both L1 and L3 measurements.

[0160] Alternatively, for the serving cell, the terminal may perform only L3 measurement and not L1 measurement. Since the L1 measurement result is necessary for the serving cell, in this case, the terminal can deduce the L1 measurement result for the serving cell based on the L3 measurement result for the serving cell.

[0161] Alternatively, for the serving cell, the terminal may perform only L1 measurement and not L3 measurement. Since the L3 measurement result is necessary for the serving cell, in this case, the terminal can deduce the L3 measurement result for the serving cell based on the L1 measurement result for the serving cell.

[0162] In some embodiments, a terminal may send capability information to a network device, wherein the capability information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0163] Derive the first capability information from the L1 measurement results based on the L3 measurement results:

[0164] The second capability information of the L3 measurement results is derived from the L1 measurement results.

[0165] For example, if the first capability information is used to indicate that the terminal supports deriving L1 measurement results from L3 measurement results, then the network device can expect the terminal to report L1 measurement results derived from L3 measurement results (e.g., L1 measurement results for neighboring cells), or it can send a request message to the terminal requesting the terminal to report L1 measurement results.

[0166] For example, if the second capability information is used to indicate that the terminal supports deriving L3 measurement results from L1 measurement results, then the network device can expect the terminal to report L3 measurement results derived from L1 measurement results (e.g., L3 measurement results for neighboring cells), or it can send a request message to the terminal requesting the terminal to report L3 measurement results.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first capability information and / or the second capability information includes at least one of the following:

[0168] The offset of the L3 measurement result relative to the L1 measurement result;

[0169] The offset range of the L3 measurement results relative to the L1 measurement results.

[0170] For example, if the first capability information includes the offset value and / or offset range of the L3 measurement result relative to the L1 measurement result, the network device can determine that the terminal supports deriving the L1 measurement result from the L3 measurement result, and can also determine the offset value and / or offset range of the L3 measurement result relative to the L1 measurement result in the L3 measurement result and / or L1 measurement result reported by the terminal; while if the first capability information does not include the offset value or offset range of the L3 measurement result relative to the L1 measurement result, the network device can determine that the terminal does not support deriving the L1 measurement result from the L3 measurement result.

[0171] For example, if the second capability information may include the offset value and / or offset range of the L3 measurement result relative to the L1 measurement result, the network device can determine that the terminal supports deriving the L3 measurement result from the L1 measurement result, and can also determine the offset value and / or offset range of the L3 measurement result relative to the L1 measurement result in the L3 measurement result and / or L1 measurement result reported by the terminal; while if the second capability information does not include the offset value or offset range of the L3 measurement result relative to the L1 measurement result, the network device can determine that the terminal does not support deriving the L3 measurement result from the L1 measurement result.

[0172] Figure 4A is a beam diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4B is a diagram illustrating a relationship between measurement results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0173] As shown in Figure 4A, the Rx beam is relatively wide when the terminal performs L3 measurements, and relatively narrow when performing L1 measurements. For example, consider the three Rx beams (beam#31, beam#32, beam#33) used in L3 measurements, and the nine beams (beam#11, beam#12, beam#13, beam#14, beam#15, beam#16, beam#17, beam#18, beam#19) used in L1 measurements. Beam#31 includes beam#11, beam#12, and beam#13; beam#32 includes beam#14, beam#15, and beam#16; and beam#33 includes beam#17, beam#18, and beam#19.

[0174] Figure 4B shows the L1 measurement results for beams #11 to #19 and the L3 measurement results for beams #31 to #33 when the terminal is performing L1 and L3 measurements.

[0175] As can be seen, the L3 measurement results are related to the L1 measurement results, and the difference between them can be characterized by the offset value or the offset range. For example, the L3 measurement result of beam #32 is related to the L1 measurement results of beam #14, beam #15, and beam #16, for example, the offset value relative to the L1 measurement result of beam #15 is offset #2.

[0176] For example, if the terminal does not perform L1 measurement, the terminal needs to determine the aforementioned offset#2, and then determine the L1 measurement result of beam#15 based on the L3 measurement result of beam#32 and offset#2.

[0177] Regarding the offset value and offset range in the embodiments of this disclosure, they can be calculated based on antenna beamforming gain or other factors. For example, a model can be trained using machine learning, deep learning, etc., and then the offset value and / or offset range can be predicted based on the model. Alternatively, the L1 measurement result can be directly predicted based on the model (e.g., the model input includes L3 measurement results, beamforming gain, etc.). Or, the L3 measurement result can be directly predicted based on the model (e.g., the model input includes L1 measurement results, beamforming gain, etc.).

[0178] The communication method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure may include at least one of steps S201 to S202. For example, step S201 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step S202 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, and step S201+S202 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0179] In some embodiments, steps S201 and S202 may be performed in an alternate order or simultaneously.

[0180] In some embodiments, step S201 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or substituted in different embodiments.

[0181] In some embodiments, step S202 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or substituted in different embodiments.

[0182] In some embodiments, other optional implementations described before or after the specification corresponding to FIG2 may be referred to.

[0183] The technical solutions of this disclosure will be illustrated by several further embodiments below.

[0184] Example 1: The terminal can perform the following operations:

[0185] Measurements are taken of the serving cell, such as periodically performing L1 and L3 measurements;

[0186] Measurements are taken of neighboring cells, such as L3 measurements, and L1 measurements are taken conditionally.

[0187] Example 2: Introduce terminal capability information, such as the terminal supporting the derivation of L1 measurement results from L3 measurement results based on the terminal's antenna beamforming gain or other factors.

[0188] Example 2.1: The terminal supports the ability to derive L1 measurement results from L3 measurement results:

[0189] For example, the capability may include an offset parameter, which indicates the offset value of the measurement results between L1 and L3;

[0190] For example, capabilities may include an offset parameter that indicates the range of measurement offset between L1 and L3.

[0191] For example, in Figure 4B, the terminal can derive the L1 measurement result for beam #15 based on the L3 measurement result for beam #32.

[0192] Example 2.2: UE supports the ability to derive L3 measurement results from L1 measurements:

[0193] For example, the capability may include an offset parameter, which indicates the offset value of the measurement results between L1 and L3;

[0194] For example, capabilities may include an offset parameter that indicates the range of measurement offset between L1 and L3.

[0195] For example, in Figure 4B, the terminal can deduce the L3 measurement result for beam #32 based on the L1 measurement results for beam #14, beam #15, and beam #16.

[0196] Example 2.3: Regarding conditionally triggering L1 measurements of neighboring cells, when the terminal evaluates that a relevant event is met, the terminal should begin L1 measurements of the neighboring cell. For example, the event may include at least one of the following:

[0197] Event 1:

[0198] When the terminal's L1 measurement result in the serving cell is less than the derived L1 measurement result in the neighboring cell, the entry condition for this event is considered to be met.

[0199] If the terminal's L1 measurement result in the serving cell is greater than the derived L1 measurement result in the neighboring cell, the departure condition for this event will be considered.

[0200] Event 2:

[0201] When the terminal's L3 measurement result in a neighboring cell exceeds the threshold, the entry condition for this event is considered.

[0202] If the terminal's L3 measurement result in a neighboring cell is less than the threshold, the departure condition for this event will be considered.

[0203] Event 3:

[0204] If the L3 measurement result of the terminal in the neighboring cell is greater than the L3 measurement result of the serving cell, the entry condition of the event shall be considered.

[0205] If the L3 measurement result of the terminal in the neighboring cell is less than the L3 measurement result of the serving cell, the departure condition of this event is considered to be met.

[0206] Event 4:

[0207] If the terminal's L1 measurement result in the serving cell is less than the threshold, the entry condition for this event will be considered.

[0208] If the terminal's L1 measurement result in the serving cell is greater than the threshold, the departure condition for this event will be considered.

[0209] For these events, judgments may be made based on other parameters, such as lag parameters used for event evaluation and the timing of triggering conditions used for event evaluation.

[0210] Example 3:

[0211] Step 1: The network device can configure measurement configurations for mobility purposes for the terminal, such as L1 mobility-related configurations, L3 measurement configurations, etc. The configuration information may include at least one of the following:

[0212] 1) Configuration of the reference signal to be measured, such as the time domain information and frequency domain information of the reference signal;

[0213] 2) Report configuration, such as reports can carry measurement results, and report configuration can include report types, etc.

[0214] Step 2: The network device can configure L1 measurement trigger conditions for the terminal:

[0215] 1) For example, the threshold in the previous embodiment can be directly configured in the network;

[0216] 2) For example, in the previous embodiment, the network provides relevant event configurations.

[0217] Step 3: For the serving cell, the terminal performs measurements in a manner that combines both L1 and L3 measurements.

[0218] Step 4: For adjacent cells:

[0219] 1) Only L3 measurements are physically implemented (or actually implemented). For example, L3 measurement results can be used to evaluate L1 triggering conditions.

[0220] 2) For terminals that support the above capabilities (e.g., indicating the derivation of L1 measurement results from L3 measurement results), the terminal cannot physically perform L1 measurements and report them. The terminal can derive L1 measurement results from L3 measurement values.

[0221] Step 5: Based on the terminal's measurement (e.g., L3 measurement), the terminal evaluates the L1 measurement trigger conditions. When the conditions are met, the terminal should start the L1 measurement.
