In this embodiment, the network device can refer to a radio access network (RAN) node (or device), core network device, model monitoring and management device, or operation administration and maintenance (OAM) device that connects the terminal device to the wireless network.

Base stations can support networks using the same or different access technologies. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific technologies or equipment forms used in the network equipment.

This application does not limit the scenario in which the network devices and terminal devices are located.

[0043] It should be understood that all or part of the functions of the communication device in this application can also be implemented by software functions that run remotely on the hardware, or by virtualization functions instantiated on a platform (such as a cloud platform).

[0044] It should be noted that Figure 1 is merely an example illustrating the system to which this application applies. Of course, the method shown in the embodiments of this application can also be applied to other systems. Furthermore, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this document.

[0045] It should be understood that the term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0046] It should also be understood that the term "instruction" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct instruction, an indirect instruction, or an indication of a relationship.

[0048] It should also be understood that the "predefined" or "predefined rules" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be implemented by pre-storing corresponding codes, tables, or other means that can be used to indicate relevant information in the device (e.g., including terminal devices and network devices), and this application does not limit the specific implementation method. For example, predefined can refer to those defined in the protocol.

[0049] In practical applications, terminal devices need to perform frequency domain measurements to achieve mobility management. For example, terminal devices can simultaneously measure multiple frequency points to improve the efficiency and flexibility of mobility management.

[0050] In practical applications, 5G communication systems have many functions. Some functions are mandatory for 5G terminals, but most 5G functions are optional. Terminals can indicate which optional functions they support through the capability reporting process, and network devices will configure appropriate configuration information for the terminal devices based on the capabilities reported by the terminal and the functions supported by the network devices themselves.

[0051] Currently, there is no corresponding capability information definition for the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results, which prevents network devices from effectively activating the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results for terminal devices.

[0052] In view of this, this application provides a wireless communication method, apparatus, device, chip, storage medium, product, and program. In this method, a terminal device can send first information to a network device, wherein the first information is used to indicate the terminal device's supported capability information related to the measurement result frequency domain prediction function. It is understood that through the first information, the network device can know the range of the terminal device's capability to perform the measurement result frequency domain prediction function, avoiding erroneously activating the measurement result frequency domain prediction function when configuring measurement tasks, which could lead to inaccurate measurement results obtained by the terminal device. Inaccurate measurement results often result in a decrease in communication performance.

[0053] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions of this application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above-mentioned related technologies are optional solutions and can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, all of which fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application include at least some of the following contents.

[0054] Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of this application. This method can optionally be applied to the system shown in Figure 1, but is not limited thereto. The method may include at least some of the following:

[0055] S210. The terminal device sends first information to the network device, or in other words, the network device receives the first information sent by the terminal device. The first information indicates the terminal device's capabilities related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0056] It should be understood that the capability information related to the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results supported by the terminal device can characterize or describe the range of capabilities of the terminal device in performing the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results. In other words, the first piece of information can be used to indicate the range of capabilities of the terminal device in performing the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results.

[0057] It should be noted that the capability range of the measurement result frequency domain prediction function indicated by the first information can be understood as the maximum capability range of the measurement result frequency domain prediction function supported by the terminal device. In this way, the network device can configure measurement tasks for the terminal device based on this maximum capability range.

[0058] The wireless communication method provided in this application embodiment allows the network device to know the capability range of the terminal device to perform the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result, thereby avoiding the terminal device from mistakenly activating the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result when configuring the measurement task, which would lead to the terminal device obtaining inaccurate measurement results. Inaccurate measurement results often lead to a decrease in communication performance.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first information may include one or more of the following:

[0060] (1) First capability information, used to indicate whether the terminal device supports the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results;

[0061] (2) Second capability information, used to indicate the frequency difference between the measured frequency point and the frequency point to be predicted in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result;

[0062] (3) Third capability information, used to indicate that the terminal device in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result can predict the measurement results of up to N1 different frequency points, where N1 is a positive integer;

[0063] (4) Fourth capability information, used to indicate that the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N2 different frequency points for the same measured frequency point in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, where N2 is a positive integer.

[0064] Regarding (1) the first ability information:

[0065] The first capability information can be understood as the overall capability of the terminal device. When the first capability information indicates that the terminal device does not support the measurement result frequency domain prediction function, the network device should not configure the terminal device with the configuration related to the measurement result frequency domain prediction function, or in other words, the network device should not activate the measurement result frequency domain prediction function for the terminal device.

[0066] When the first capability information indicates that the terminal device supports the measurement result frequency domain prediction function, if the network device intends to activate the measurement result frequency domain prediction function for the terminal device, the network device can decide which configurations related to the measurement result frequency domain prediction function to configure for the terminal device based on other detailed capability information contained in the first information provided by the terminal device and / or the capability information (e.g., RF requirements) predefined in the protocol related to the measurement result frequency domain prediction function.

[0067] In some implementations, the first capability information is explicitly indicated by a first parameter. For example, a value of '1' for the first parameter indicates that the terminal device supports the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result; a value of '0' for the first parameter indicates that the terminal device does not support the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result. In other implementations, the first capability information is implicitly indicated by the predefined position of the parameter carrying the first information in the protocol. That is, if the parameter carrying the first information does not appear during a capability indication process, it indicates that the terminal device does not support the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result; conversely, if the parameter carrying the first information appears during a capability indication process, it indicates that the terminal device supports the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result.

[0068] Regarding (2) the second ability information:

[0069] It should be noted that the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result involves the measured frequency point (denoted as f1 in this embodiment) and the frequency point to be predicted (denoted as f2 in this embodiment). The frequency difference between f1 and f2 indicated by the second capability information can be understood as the maximum frequency difference or the maximum value of the frequency difference. That is to say, the difference between f1 and f2 in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result needs to be less than or equal to the frequency difference indicated by the second capability information.

[0070] Since the signal attenuation characteristics of different frequencies are different, when the frequency difference between the frequency to be predicted and the measured frequency is too large, the accuracy of the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result may not be guaranteed. Therefore, the second capability information can indicate the frequency range information that the terminal device can predict, so as to avoid the scenario in which the network device configures f1 and f2 too far apart, resulting in the terminal device's measurement result frequency domain prediction function failing to meet the standard.

[0071] Regarding (3) third ability information:

[0072] It should be noted that the third capability information is capability information indicated at the terminal device (per UE) granularity. In other words, the third capability information indicates the capabilities of the entire terminal device.

[0073] The third capability information is used to indicate that in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N1 different frequency points, where N1 is a positive integer. For example, assuming that the network device configures m1 (m1 is a positive integer) measured frequency points for the terminal device, and these m1 measured frequency points are associated with n1 (n1 is a positive integer) frequency points to be predicted, then the upper limit of the value of n1 is indicated by the third capability information (i.e., n1 is less than or equal to N1).

[0074] It is understandable that terminal devices need to pay a certain price to perform frequency domain prediction of measurement results. The frequency domain prediction function of measurement results usually requires a lot of computing resources. If the number of different frequency points to be predicted in the frequency domain prediction process of measurement results is too large, it may lead to insufficient computing power of terminal devices, which in turn affects the accuracy of measurement result prediction. Therefore, third-party capability information can help network devices configure a reasonable number of frequency points to be predicted.

[0075] Regarding (4) the fourth ability information:

[0076] It should be noted that the fourth capability information is capability information indicated at the per component carrier (per CC) granularity. In other words, the fourth capability information indicates the capability of the terminal device on a single carrier.

[0077] The fourth capability information is used to indicate that in the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results, the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N2 different frequency points for the same measured frequency point, where N2 is a positive integer. For example, for any measured frequency point configured by the network device for the terminal device, if the measured frequency point is associated with k1 (k1 is a positive integer) frequency points to be predicted, the upper limit of the value of k1 is indicated by the fourth capability information (i.e., k1 is less than or equal to N2).

[0078] Understandably, terminal devices instructing frequency domain prediction of measurement results comes at a cost. The frequency domain prediction function of measurement results usually requires a lot of computing resources. If the number of different frequency points to be predicted in the frequency domain prediction process of measurement results is too large, it may lead to insufficient computing power of the terminal device, thereby affecting the accuracy of the measurement result prediction. Therefore, the fourth capability information can help network devices configure a reasonable number of frequency points to be predicted for a measured frequency point when configuring a measurement configuration associated with a measured frequency point.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first information may include only a single capability information (e.g., any one of the first capability information to the fourth capability information).

[0080] In some embodiments, the first information includes two or more individual capability information. In this embodiment, the number of individual capability information included in the first information is not limited.

[0081] In one example, the first information may include two capability information. For example, the first information includes first capability information and second capability information, or, the first information includes first capability information and third capability information, or, the first information includes first capability information and fourth information, or, the first information includes second capability information and third capability information, or, the first information includes second capability information and fourth capability information, or, the first information includes third capability information and fourth capability information.

[0082] In one example, the first information may include three capability information items. For example, the first information includes first capability information, second capability information, and third capability information. Another example, the first information includes first capability information, second capability information, and fourth capability information. Yet another example, the first information includes first capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information. And yet another example, the first information includes second capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information.

[0083] In one example, the first information may include four capability information, that is, the first information may include first capability information, second capability information, third capability information and fourth capability information.

[0084] In one embodiment of this application, the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result includes one or more of the following functions:

[0085] Frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results; frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results;

[0086] Among them, the frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results is used to predict cell-level measurement results, and the frequency domain prediction function for beam measurement results is used to predict beam-level measurement results.

[0087] In some embodiments, the cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function can be understood as: using the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the acquired measured frequency points to predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points to be predicted.

[0088] It should be noted that the cells deployed on the measured frequency point have spatial correlations with one or more cells deployed on different frequency points to be predicted. Among these, a common spatial correlation is the scenario of cell co-location.

[0089] It should also be noted that predicting the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on different frequency points based on the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points can be achieved based on inference technology. This inference technology can be artificial intelligence (AI) inference technology or machine learning (ML) inference technology; this application does not limit the specific inference methods used.

[0090] In some embodiments, the frequency domain prediction function of beam measurement results can be understood as: using the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points to predict the beam-level measurement results of one or more other beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted.

[0091] It should be noted that the beams deployed at the measured frequency points are spatially correlated with the beams deployed at one or more different frequency points to be predicted. A common example of this spatial correlation is beam co-location.

[0092] It should also be noted that predicting the beam-level measurement results of one or more beams deployed at different frequency points based on the beam-level measurement results of beams deployed at the measured frequency points can be achieved using inference technology. This inference technology can be AI inference technology or machine learning (ML) inference technology; this application does not limit the specific inference methods described herein.

[0093] It is understood that the frequency domain prediction function involved in the embodiments of this application may include the following scenario A and / or scenario B.

[0094] Scenario A: Using the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the obtained measured frequency points, predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points to be predicted.

[0095] For example, in scenario A, assuming the terminal device has already obtained the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 through actual measurement, and it is known that the cell measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 can be predicted from the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1, then the terminal device can use inference technology (e.g., AI inference technology) to predict the cell measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 based on the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1. Here, cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 have spatial correlation with cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1; for example, cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3 are co-located.

[0096] Scenario B: Using the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points, predict the beam-level measurement results of one or more other beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted.

[0097] For example, in scenario B, assuming the terminal device has already obtained the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 through actual measurement, and it is known that the beam measurement results of beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 can be predicted from the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1, then the terminal device can use inference technology (e.g., AI inference technology) to predict the beam measurement results of beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 based on the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1. This inference technology is called the beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function. Here, beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 have spatial correlation with beam 1 deployed on frequency 1; for example, beams 1, 2, and 3 are in a co-located beam scenario.

[0098] In another embodiment of this application, the frequency domain prediction function of the cell measurement results described above may include one or more of the following functions:

[0099] The first type of cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function, and the second type of cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function.

[0100] The first cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the cell-level measurement result of the second cell based on the cell-level measurement result of the first cell. The cell-level measurement result of the first cell is the cell measurement result of the cell deployed on the measured frequency point, and the cell-level measurement result of the first cell has been filtered by layer 3. The cell-level measurement result of the second cell is the cell measurement result of the cell deployed on one or more inter-frequency points to be predicted.

[0101] The second cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the cell-level measurement result of the fourth cell based on the cell-level measurement result of the third cell. The cell-level measurement result of the third cell is the cell measurement result of the cell deployed on the measured frequency point. The cell-level measurement result of the third cell has been filtered by layer 1 but not by layer 3. The cell-level measurement result of the fourth cell is the cell measurement result of the cell deployed on one or more different frequency points to be predicted.

[0102] In other words, scenario A above can include the following sub-scenarios:

[0103] Scenario A1: Using the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points, predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points to be predicted. The cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points have been filtered by Layer 3. The function described in Scenario A1 can be simply referred to as "Frequency Domain Prediction Function of Cell Measurement Results after Layer 3 Filtering".

[0104] It should be noted that in scenario A1, the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on different frequency points to be predicted, which are inferred from the cell-level measurement results of the cells deployed on the measured frequency points, can be the measurement results after layer 3 filtering.

[0105] Scenario A2: Using the cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points, predict the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on other frequency points to be predicted. The cell-level measurement results of cells deployed on the measured frequency points have been filtered by Layer 1 but not by Layer 3. The function described in Scenario A2 can be simply referred to as "frequency domain prediction function of cell measurement results after Layer 1 filtering".

[0106] It should be noted that in scenario A2, the cell-level measurement results of one or more cells deployed on different frequency points to be predicted, which are inferred based on the cell-level measurement results of the cells deployed on the measured frequency points, can be the measurement results after layer 1 filtering or the measurement results after layer 3 filtering. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0107] For example, the terminal device has already obtained the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 through actual measurement. It is also known that the cell measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 can be predicted from the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 (for example, cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 have spatial correlation with cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1; a common spatial correlation could be a co-location scenario). Therefore, inference technology (e.g., AI inference technology) can be used to predict the cell measurement results of cell 2 deployed on frequency point 2 and cell 3 deployed on frequency point 3 based on the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1. This inference technology is called the cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function. If the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 consider layer 3 filtering, then it corresponds to scenario A1 above; if the cell measurement results of cell 1 deployed on frequency point 1 only consider layer 1 filtering but not layer 3 filtering, then it corresponds to scenario A2 above.

[0108] In another embodiment of this application, the frequency domain prediction function of beam measurement results includes one or more of the following functions:

[0109] The first type of beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function, and the second type of beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function;

[0110] The first type of beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam based on the beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam. The beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam is the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam deployed at the measured frequency point, and the beam measurement result corresponding to the first beam has been filtered by layer 3. The beam measurement result corresponding to the second beam is the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam deployed at one or more different frequency points to be predicted.

[0111] The second type of beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function is used to predict the beam measurement result corresponding to the fourth beam based on the beam measurement result corresponding to the third beam. The beam measurement result corresponding to the third beam is the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam deployed at the measured frequency point, and the beam measurement result corresponding to the third beam has been filtered by layer 1 but not by layer 3. The beam measurement result corresponding to the fourth beam is the beam measurement result corresponding to the beam deployed at one or more different frequency points to be predicted.

[0112] In other words, scenario B above can include the following sub-scenarios:

[0113] Scenario B1: Using the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points, predict the beam-level measurement results of one or more other beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted. The beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points have been filtered by layer 3. The function described in Scenario B1 can be simply referred to as "frequency domain prediction function of beam measurement results after layer 3 filtering".

[0114] It should be noted that in scenario B1, the beam-level measurement results of one or more beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted, which are inferred from the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points, can be the measurement results after layer 3 filtering.

[0115] Scenario B2: Using the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points, predict the beam-level measurement results of one or more other beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted. The beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points have been filtered by layer 1 but not by layer 3. The function described in Scenario B2 can be simply referred to as "frequency domain prediction function of beam measurement results after layer 1 filtering".

[0116] It should be noted that in scenario B2, the beam-level measurement results of one or more beams deployed at different frequency points to be predicted, which are inferred based on the beam-level measurement results of the beams deployed at the measured frequency points, can be the measurement results after layer 1 filtering or the measurement results after layer 3 filtering. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0117] For example, the terminal device has already obtained the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 through the actual measurement process. It is also known that the beam measurement results of beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 can be predicted from the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 (for example, beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 have spatial correlation with beam 1 deployed on frequency 1. A common spatial correlation can be a beam co-location scenario). Therefore, the beam measurement results of beam 2 deployed on frequency 2 and beam 3 deployed on frequency 3 can be predicted from the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 using inference technology (such as AI inference technology). This inference technology is called the beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function. If the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 take into account layer 3 filtering, then it corresponds to scenario B1 above; if the beam measurement results of beam 1 deployed on frequency 1 only take into account layer 1 filtering but not layer 3 filtering, then it corresponds to scenario B2 above.

[0118] Based on the above, the frequency domain prediction function for measurement results can include the following implementation methods.

[0119] In one embodiment, the frequency domain prediction function for measurement results includes a frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results. This frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results can be a frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results after layer 3 filtering, a frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results after layer 1 filtering, or a frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results after both layer 3 and layer 1 filtering.

[0120] In another embodiment, the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result includes a frequency domain prediction function of the beam measurement result. This frequency domain prediction function can be a frequency domain prediction function of the beam measurement result after layer 3 filtering, a frequency domain prediction function of the beam measurement result after layer 1 filtering, or a combination of both.

[0121] In another embodiment, the frequency domain prediction function for measurement results includes a cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function and a beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function. Specifically, the cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function can be a cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function after layer 3 filtering, a cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function after layer 1 filtering, or a combination of both layer 3 and layer 1 filtering. Similarly, the beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function can be a beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function after layer 3 filtering, a beam measurement result frequency domain prediction function after layer 1 filtering, or a combination of both.

[0122] In some embodiments, where the measurement result frequency domain prediction function includes a cell measurement result frequency domain prediction function, that is, in scenario A (including scenario A1 and / or scenario A2) described above, the first information in step S210 may include one or more of the following:

[0123] The fifth capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results can predict the measurement results of up to N3 inter-frequency cells, where N3 is a positive integer;

[0124] The sixth capability information is used to indicate that in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N4 different frequency cells for the same measured frequency point, where N4 is a positive integer.

[0125] In other words, in the above scenario A (including scenario A1 and / or scenario A2), the terminal device can also indicate to the network device the relevant capability information of the frequency domain prediction function of cell measurement results.

[0126] Regarding the information on the fifth ability:

[0127] It should be noted that the fifth capability information is a per-UE granularity indicator of capability information, meaning that the fifth capability information indicates the capabilities of the entire terminal device.

[0128] The fifth capability information is used to indicate that in the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results, the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N3 inter-frequency cells, where N3 is a positive integer. For example, assuming that the network device configures m2 (m2 is a positive integer) measured frequency points for the terminal device, and these m2 measured frequency points are associated with a total of n2 (n2 is a positive integer) inter-frequency cells to be predicted, then the upper limit of the value of n2 is indicated by the fifth capability information (i.e., n2 is less than or equal to N3).

[0129] Understandably, the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results also comes at a cost. The frequency domain prediction function of measurement results usually requires a lot of computing resources. If the number of inter-frequency cells to be predicted in the frequency domain prediction process of measurement results is too large, it may lead to insufficient computing power of terminal devices, thereby affecting the accuracy of measurement result prediction. Therefore, the fifth capability information can help network devices configure a reasonable number of inter-frequency cells to be predicted.

[0130] Regarding the information on the sixth ability:

[0131] It should be noted that the sixth capability information is a capability information indicated per CC granularity. In other words, the sixth capability information indicates the capability of the terminal device on a carrier.

[0132] The sixth capability information is used to indicate that in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N4 different frequency cells for the same measured frequency point, where N4 is a positive integer.

[0133] For example, for any measured frequency point configured by the network device for the terminal device, if the measured frequency point is associated with k2 (k2 is a positive integer) inter-frequency cells to be predicted, the upper limit of the value of k2 is indicated by the sixth capability information (i.e., k2 is less than or equal to N4).

[0134] Understandably, the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results also comes at a cost. The frequency domain prediction function of measurement results usually requires a lot of computing resources. If the number of inter-frequency cells to be predicted in the frequency domain prediction process of measurement results is too large, it may lead to insufficient computing power of terminal devices, thereby affecting the accuracy of measurement result prediction. Therefore, the sixth capability information can help network devices configure a reasonable number of inter-frequency cells to be predicted for a measured frequency point when configuring a measurement configuration associated with a measured frequency point.

[0135] It should be noted that, in some embodiments where the frequency domain prediction function for measurement results includes the frequency domain prediction function for cell measurement results, the terminal device may only report the fifth capability information and / or the sixth capability information. That is, the first information may only include the fifth capability information and / or the sixth capability information. In other embodiments, the terminal device may report the fifth capability information and / or the sixth capability information in addition to reporting one or more of the first to fourth capability information. That is, the first information may include the fifth capability information and / or the sixth capability information in addition to one or more of the first to fourth capability information.

[0136] In some implementations, the first information includes either the fifth capability information or the sixth capability information; in other implementations, the first information includes both the fifth capability information and the sixth capability information.

[0137] In some implementations, the first information includes the fifth capability information and the first capability information; in some implementations, the first information includes the fifth capability information and the second capability information; in some implementations, the first information includes the fifth capability information and the third capability information; in some implementations, the first information includes the fifth capability information and the fourth capability information.

For example, the first information includes fifth capability information, first capability information, and second capability information; or, the first information includes fifth capability information, first capability information, and third capability information; or, the first information includes fifth capability information, first capability information, and fourth capability information; or, the first information includes fifth capability information, second capability information, and third capability information; or, the first information includes fifth capability information, second capability information, and fourth capability information; or, the first information includes fifth capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information.

Another example: the first information includes fifth capability information, first capability information, second capability information, and fourth capability information. Yet another example: the first information includes fifth capability information, first capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information. Yet another example: the first information includes fifth capability information, second capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information.

[0144] In one example, the first information may include five capability information, that is, the first information may include the sixth capability information, the first capability information, the second capability information, the third capability information, and the fourth capability information.

[0145] In some implementations, the first information includes the sixth capability information, the fifth capability information, and the first capability information; in some implementations, the first information includes the sixth capability information, the fifth capability information, and the second capability information; in some implementations, the first information includes the sixth capability information, the fifth capability information, and the third capability information; and in some implementations, the first information includes the sixth capability information, the fifth capability information, and the fourth capability information.

[0146] In one example, the first information may include four capability information. For example, the first information includes sixth capability information, fifth capability information, first capability information, and second capability information; or, the first information includes sixth capability information, fifth capability information, first capability information, and third capability information; or, the first information includes sixth capability information, fifth capability information, first capability information, and fourth capability information; or, the first information includes sixth capability information, fifth capability information, second capability information, and third capability information; or, the first information includes sixth capability information, fifth capability information, second capability information, and fourth capability information; or, the first information includes sixth capability information, fifth capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information.

Yet another example: the first information may include sixth capability information, fifth capability information, first capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information. Yet another example: the first information may include sixth capability information, fifth capability information, second capability information, third capability information, and fourth capability information.

[0148] In one example, the first information may include six capability information, that is, the first information may include the sixth capability information, the fifth capability information, the first capability information, the second capability information, the third capability information, and the fourth capability information.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result is the frequency domain prediction function of the beam measurement result, that is, in the above scenario B (including scenario B1 and / or scenario B2), the first information in step S210 may include one or more of the following:

[0150] The seventh capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result can predict the measurement results of up to N5 different frequency beams, where N5 is a positive integer;

[0151] The eighth capability information is used to indicate that in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N6 different frequency beams for the same measured frequency point, where N6 is a positive integer.

[0152] In other words, in scenario B (including scenario B1 and / or scenario B2) mentioned above, the terminal device can also indicate to the network device capability information related to the frequency domain prediction function of beam measurement results. The term "different frequency beam" can be understood as a beam deployed at different frequency points.

[0153] Information regarding the seventh ability:

[0154] It should be noted that the seventh capability information is a per-UE granularity indicator of capability information, meaning that the seventh capability information indicates the capabilities of the entire terminal device.

[0155] The seventh capability information is used to indicate that the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N5 different frequency beams in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, where N5 is a positive integer.

[0156] For example, suppose the network device configures m3 (m3 is a positive integer) measured frequency points for the terminal device. These m3 measured frequency points are associated with n3 (n3 is a positive integer) inter-frequency beams to be predicted. The upper limit of the value of n3 is indicated by the seventh capability information (i.e. n3 is less than or equal to N5).

[0157] Understandably, the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results also comes at a cost. The frequency domain prediction function of measurement results usually requires a lot of computing resources. If the number of different frequency beams to be predicted in the frequency domain prediction process of measurement results is too large, it may lead to insufficient computing power of terminal devices, thereby affecting the prediction accuracy of measurement results. Therefore, the seventh capability information can help network devices configure a reasonable number of different frequency beams to be predicted.

[0158] Information regarding the eighth ability:

[0159] It should be noted that the eighth capability information is a per-CC granularity indicator of capability information, that is, the eighth capability information indicates the capability of the terminal device on a carrier.

[0160] The eighth capability information is used to indicate that in the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement results, the terminal device can predict the measurement results of up to N6 different frequency beams for the same measured frequency point, where N6 is a positive integer.

[0161] For example, for any measured frequency point configured by the network device for the terminal device, if the measured frequency point is associated with k3 (k3 is a positive integer) inter-frequency beams to be predicted, the upper limit of the value of k3 is indicated by the eighth capability information (i.e., k3 is less than or equal to N6).

[0162] Understandably, the frequency domain prediction function of measurement results also comes at a cost. The frequency domain prediction function of measurement results usually requires a lot of computing resources. If the number of different frequency beams to be predicted in the frequency domain prediction process of measurement results is too large, it may lead to insufficient computing power of the terminal device, thereby affecting the prediction accuracy of the measurement results. Therefore, the eighth capability information can help network devices configure a reasonable number of different frequency beams to be predicted for a measured frequency point when configuring a measurement configuration associated with a measured frequency point.

[0163] It should be noted that, when the frequency domain prediction function of the measurement result is the frequency domain prediction function of the beam measurement result, in some embodiments, the terminal device may only report the seventh capability information and / or the eighth capability information; that is, the first information may only include the seventh capability information and / or the eighth capability information.
